Kagami happily pulled a stocking over his head, ready to head out on his mission.
Just as Kagami reached the gate...
"Kagami Uchiha!"
"Huh? Patriarch, is there something you need?"
"Nothing, just wanted to have a chat." "Susanoo!"

A short while later, Dave walked into the hospital with a heavy heart. Kagami... how the hell had he ended up in the hospital again?
"Tell me, how did you end up back here?" Dave entered the hospital room and asked in bewilderment, looking at Kagami lying on the bed, wrapped in bandages from head to toe.
"Boo-hoo... Clan Leader Madara suddenly came looking for me and beat me up for no reason! I don't even know what I did! Boo-hoo..." Seeing Dave, Kagami seemed to have found an outlet for his misery and burst into tears.
"...Are you sure... you didn't do anything?" Dave was baffled. Would Madara really seek Kagami out and beat him up for no reason?
"I really didn't do anything... boo-hoo..." Kagami paused and carefully thought back over the past few days, trying to remember whether he had offended his clan leader. But he really hadn't. He hadn't even used his computer these past few days, let alone seen Madara. How could he have offended him?
"...Then... could someone have logged into your account and done something? Or done something in your name?" Dave paused before voicing his guesses in confusion. When it came to the fine art of doing things in someone else's name, I, Dave, had experience...
"..." Kagami sank into thought...
With Kagami injured and hospitalized, there was no one to go to Kumogakure, so Dave had to ask Ormo to handle it instead.
Three days later, Danzo, Hiruzen, and Kakuzu returned with intelligence: Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure had begun gathering their forces,
