Naruto: Child of Chakra - Chapter 143

Next Day,

After the romantic and awkward evening, both Shiroken and Tsunade felt slightly embarrassed to be in front of each other as they realised the number of cringy things they had said the day before.

“Aw, don’t worry. Tsunade likes you, and there is no need to be embarrassed.” Monari consoled him.

“SO YOU WERE WATCHING? Monari, I must do something about your bad habits. I guess you should have another baby, Shirajin might be feeling lonely.” Shiroken suggested.

She scoffed, “Huh, you think being pregnant will stop me? Nothing can, my brother. Now, let’s go and eat some Ramen and dumplings to celebrate your first ever girlfriend.”

“I hope you don’t tell this to everyone,” Shiroken told her in a warning tone.

She shrugged, “Well, I won’t, but can’t say the same about your lovely saint parents.”

“What do you m… AH!”

…

Dama City,

♫”YEAH… IT’S YOUR BOY CHOMEI,

Your best brother and homie.♫

♫I get yea food transporteeed,

My bros make stuff to be exporteeed… YEAH!.♫

♫But I got some big news todayyy, It’s a day worth a Holidayyy.

My boy Shiro has a lover now,♫

♫He gonna love her more than Saiken, his cow.

Yeah, Watashi Wa yo…”♫

“CHOMEI! REALLY? SHIRO GOT A GIRLFRIEND?” Shukaku, who was building the new palace, heard Chomei singing and flying in the sky. He loudly shouted and asked him.

The two fools were talking so loudly that basically, the entire city was hearing them.

“WHAT? YOU DON’T KNOW? HEHE… I TRIED TO TALK TO SHIRO YESTERDAY NIGHT. HE WAS BUSY WITH A WOMAN AT THAT TIME… HEHE… I DIDN’T DISTURB THEM.” Chomei said in a blushing but elated voice.

“NICE… IS SHE PRETTY?” Shukaku inquired.

“I don’t know. We can’t see, remember? We can only communicate.” Chomei clarified, but he had hope, “Oh, Monari was there, so I think she must be pretty.”

Shukaku chuckled, “Yeah if she’s there, she’s never gonna let any random cow come to eat the golden grass that our Shiro is.”

“COWS? WHAT?! SHIRO IS GOLDEN GRASS? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?” Chomei innocently asked.

Shukaku facepalm, “Nothing, Chomei. You go back to work.”

“OH YES, I GOTTA DELIVER STUFF!” Chomei once again started rapping and flew away. It was strange how a guy who rapped could also be so innocent.

At the same time, the people in the city were looking at each other’s faces. Then someone randomly cheered loudly, prompting a wave of cheers taking over the city and people jumping in joy and excitement.

“LORD DAMA WILL HAVE A WIFE!”

“LITTLE LORD DAMAS WILL SOON BE DESTROYING OUR SHOPS WHILE PLAYING!”

“I WANT THEM TO DESTROY MY SHOP!”

“NO, I WILL LURE THEM WITH CANDIES AND LET THEM DESTROY MY SHOP!”

People in Dama City were weird, they were too rich to care about anything materialistic. To them, mental happiness was important, and if seeing their shops be destroyed by little kids made them happy, they’d let it happen.

People unofficially decided to hold a big party.

…

Konoha,

Shiroken entered Tsunade’s office, Jiraiya was also there. They were here for Darui, who was going to return to his village and tell Raikage to come to the neutral area if he wants to talk peace.

It was mainly Shiroken’s job so the other two silently sat. Tsunade even offered him her seat, as he was officially even above Daimyo. But Shiroken refused, saying that he would later make another office for himself on the new floor soon to be made on the Hokage building.

“Darui, you are the most trusted man of Raikage. So I expect you to tell him everything that happened here truthfully. Next, tell Raikage to come to the Frost country. I don’t care how many men you bring, just come with good intentions. Also, bring all your elders if you have any. If you must have peace, you must accept my terms. Nothing is negotiable. You either agree, or I enter your country anyway and take over.” Shiroken bluntly stated everything.

At this time, there was no point in going against Shiroken, as he had shown them enough times his power to take over everything quickly. In fact, his first attack on Kirigakure was a full-fledged attack, he fought and defeated all Shinobi forces of that village in one go.

Darui nodded, “Sorry, I have no secret plans or plots. I do what I am told to. So I will return and tell Raikage exactly what happened and your words. We will meet in the Land of Frost in one week. Until then, take care.”

With that, Darui was sent away. Jiraiya spoke, “Hmm, what now?”

“Now, you go back to work, I will start managing my takeover of Lightning Country. One thing, Jiraiya, I need you to go to Ame and take over the whole country of the Rain. It’s time we start focusing on small nations. Go to the Dama Country’s embassy, they will send a guy with you for management.” Shiroken ordered him.

“What about me?” Tsunade asked.

Shiroken faced her with a soft smile, “Well… you said you want to visit the Dama country later, so I guess you can wait until I’m done with the Lightning Country, then we can go together.”

She nodded, with the same ecstatic expression, “Done deal.”

Jiraiya may be stupid, but he still had enough brain to notice something was different. “What’s going on here? Why do you feel different?”

“Nothing…” Tsunade quickly denied anything and got back to work.

Shiroken also turned around and left while whistling randomly. Jiraiya just looked at their faces and soon left.

…

Most people think that taking over a country is just about fighting and winning more and more land. But most ignore the background things that go around and all the planning that Shiroken has to do.

Behind Shiroken was the entire Nidama clan. Especially for the new countries, Shiroken needs people he can completely trust. For this, the Nidama clan was the best, as it was a closed community with more focus on following Shiroken’s ideals.

There was in fact a small department just made to control and administer newly acquired territories. The department was called “International Relations”

But contrary to what the name implies, the department was more focused on learning about each new territory and ruling it better by establishing relations with smaller leaders who didn’t pose any threat to the rule.

The department was directly under Shiroken and he had been sending people to do special recruitment for talents each year. By now, about 100 people were working in it.

To control one Shinobi village, at least 5 people from the Nidama clan were needed to

oversee everything. And to control large countries, Shiroken left his clones behind, but each clone was also helped by 10 clan members.

Even now, as soon as Shiroken’s memo arrived that the Lightning country will be next, they selected 15 people whose expertise was regarding the whole region, its past and geography. They would later be sent to report in Konoha.

And after Shiroken is done with taking over, he will establish the new administration. All this sounded easy on paper but it was a huge undertaking.

Meanwhile, the team for Iwagakure and the Earth Country was already under training. However, sadly, they will most likely not have to go there as the country was headed by two of the most stupid people. The Daimyo as well as the Tsuchikage.

…

Kumogakure,

Darui reported everything to the Raikage, A. The man stood up in annoyance, “So he killed Danzo in front of everyone and nobody spoke. I guess Danzo was truly a monster. But again, he tried to kill you, I would have asked for his head if he wasn’t killed so brutally.

Send a letter to Lord Dama. I accept their terms. We will meet them in Frost Country at the appointed time. Bee… make sure you don’t leave the village until then. Tell Yugito Nii the same. Darui, take only 10 of our strongest Shinobi along with the 5 elders.”

He gave the orders. That was when his assistant, Mabui asked, “Lord Raikage, would you like to inform Lord Daimyo?”

A grunted and took his seat, then slammed his fist, “THAT BASTARD. It is because of him that I’m being so hasty. I told him about the abilities of Shiroken Dama, yet he chose to be blind. He still thinks he can win with his meaningless skirmishes. I should have known better, these feudal lords are the scummiest people, they would rather see the world burn than give up their authority.

“We shall cut a deal for Kumogakure with Shiroken Dama and let him handle the rest of the country however he wants.”

“Got it, Lord Raikage.” Mabui nodded and stepped back.

It was already known to most knowledgeable people that Shiroken had taken over 3 of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. So it should have been self-explanatory for people to just surrender, yet greed came in that way.

Human life was just another chess piece, they would gladly sacrifice people’s lives if it gave them the hope of retaining their wealth, power and authority.

[A/N: Raikage sure keeps pretty girls around himself.]
