 Ch12 

On Itachi's desk there was a piece of paper from Kumo. Kumo is at this time probably the strongest or the second strongest village after Konoha. Konoha used to be number one, but after losing so many shinobi, they were not. Kumo is well known for having a very strong economy. They are very well known for never thinking about alliances, historically speaking. I mean, who would trust them with the Hyuga incident in Konoha? Because they faked like they were in peace talks with Konoha only to try to abduct a Hyuga. So why in the world is there a summons to try to discuss a peace treaty? AO! Bring Mei and Shikaku here. We need to discuss this peace treaty talk.Yes, Mizukage-sama.

 

Alright everyone, Kumo has given us a peace treaty summons. I will allow you all to read the summons, take your time, and then one by one give me your thoughts. Ao it looks like you are ready to give us your thoughts. Well, their Raikage is A, who is a master of using lightning chakra around his body and is extremely fast. They have two Jinchuriki: B, who is the master of the eight tails and is a fully realized Jinchuriki. They have Yugito Nii, who is the two-tailed Jinchuriki, and she has full control of her biju as well. A's right-hand man is Darui, who is extremely skilled with black lightning release, which makes him unique. Other than that, it looks like they have a long history of mostly all shinobi using swords. From an information-gathering perspective, these are the most important things to note. 

 

Mei, it looks like you are ready. What do you think? Well, obviously the hurdle here is we just got out of a civil war after all of the bloodline purges. Every clan is going to worry that Kumo will take advantage of a treaty to try to acquire our clans. Which our clans just grew again. I do like the fact that the summons are on land in between our two villages, so it looks like he is being thoughtful to those worries. You are such a hero here that the people would not question your decision. We all believe in the village you are trying to build, so we will do whatever you say. 

 

Shikaku, It looks like you are ready; what do you think? Well, we lost a very large amount of ninjas in our civil war, so right now any village outside of Konoha would beat us. It will take time to regrow our forces. If we had a peace treaty with Kumo that said we would work together against all invaders, that would be great. It would be great because it buys us time for us to regrow our forces. On top of that, we are the two eastern villages, which would give us a huge strategic advantage in battle. But they have an image issue, and we would be hugely helpful to that, which would allow them to get more missions and make more money. I appreciate all of your thoughts on this matter. Go ahead and send the reply to them that we will meet them. Yes, Mizukage-sama.

Both nations were able to bring 3 ninjas to the peace talks. Itachi brought Ao, Mei, and Shikaku. The Raikage brought the 8- and 2-tailed Jinchurikis and Dauri. Hello Itachi, it is nice to meet you. The Raikage brought out his hand to shake it, and Itachi shook it back. The Raikage could tell that Itachi was trying to figure him out. Itachi, you know I actually really respect you standing up for what you want, so that is part of the reason why we are at these peace talks. I mean, most people would not try to make a treaty with the Hidden Mist village because of how turbulent your history is. But I really do think that you will be Mizukage for a while. So this treaty is really something that would have never been possible without you. Thank you, Raikage. 

So you guys probably lost 30 jonin, 90 Chunin, and 150 genin in your guys past war. Does that sound about correct? Yes, we have lost many lives due to the civil war. Well, any of the great 5 nations outside of Konoha could march over here and defeat you guys. You need time to build up your forces. But what if you were allied with me, and the contract said that if either one of us were attacked, we both go to war, then I just bought you time to rebuild. Now obviously I would not be doing this without reason. We are the two most eastern countries, and without the sea in between us, we basically border each other. This means if there ever was a war, we would have an extreme strategic advantage over the other nations. On top of that, we can remove all taxes on goods between both of our countries, which would economically help both of us. Raikage Sama, you talk about a lot of really nice benefits, but I highly doubt you do not want something in return.

Yes, there is something that I do want in return. Actually, do you mind if your ANBU brings me his sword? Ao give the Raikage your sword. Yes, Mizukage-sama. You see, your country has the 7 swordsmen of the mist, and you have by far the best quality swords in all of the 5 great nations. We use a lot of swords in our fighting, so I would like 500 of them for free every year of this quality. Itachi knew that was a very uneven offer that would be a huge financial toll. And what would you give in return, Raikage? Well, I hear you have the 9-tails Jinchuriki. By a stroke of luck, I can train him to be in full control of his Biju. That is a good offer, but my Jinchuriki is in full sync with his Biju as well, so he will teach him when the time comes.

Yagura is alive? Yes, Raikage, Yagura is alive, and I am glad that this conversation is moving in this direction because there is something you need to know. Yagura was put in a genjutsu during the whole time frame where he was the Mizukage. This genjutsu weakened my village, and it was put there by Uchiha. I will give you a very quick lesson with my eyes. The first tomoe is when a sharingan user awakens his eyes. The second tomoe allows them better reaction time and genjutsu abilities. The same things apply for the 3 tomoe sharingan. But the Mangekyou Sharingan gives an extreme jump in abilities like the Susanoo and very elite genjutsu and ninjutsu abilities. The cost for these extremely elite eyes is blindness will eventually affect them. But there is a last stage called the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which gives you much stronger versions of your previous abilities and no blindness. Only Uchiha with brothers can achieve this Sharingan level, which in history only Madara Uchiha had. Now when I massacred my clan, there was a man saying he was Madara Uchiha who was there with a Sharingan, and while I did kill everyone in the civilian area, he killed all of the people in the Konoha Police Force. While heading towards Mizu, I was approached by a white and green entity that just appeared out of the ground. They asked me to come join them trying to build a dream world with Madara Uchiha, which I declined. This means that there are 3 Uchihas alive, as I have described to you. Madara Uchiha should have the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which means I should not have been able to break Yagura out of the genjutsu. Me doing that means that he is Madara Uchiha's son or someone trying to imitate him. 

Now for someone to try to put the whole ninja world into some sleep-like state is very concerning. The reason why is that there must be some unknown power that will allow them to defeat the whole shinobi world. With this treaty, I want an emergency line put into both of our kage offices for emergencies or trends. There has to be something that they need because if they did not need something, then they would have already attacked. The Raikage had been a kage for a long time, so even though he was known as a hothead, he had a good poker face. But hearing that there was someone basically trying to take over the world was very concerning. Well then, this means that when we make this deal, we must be preparing for war. Yes, I agree building our forces makes a lot of sense. Trying to gather information is going to be extremely important. Yes, Mizukage, I agree, but since Yagura is alive, what do you want in return for the swords?

Pay half of the cost to make the swords. Sounds good. Is there anything else that you want? Yes, I want it in the contract that the alliance dissipates if you try to make a move on our bloodlines. That sounds agreeable. Itachi signed the alliance, and then the Raikage did as well, making it official that the Hidden Mist village and Kumo were allied. After the meeting, Itachi talked with his advisors about the deal. What does everyone think about the alliance? It makes sense for Kumo because it makes their economy and ninja forces stronger. And yes, those swords are not cheap, but they are covering half of the cost, and now we will have time to rebuild. Yes, I agree, Mei, go announce to our village that we have allied with Kumo. Yes, Mizukage-sama.

In Konoha there was a meeting with the council about the departure of 4 of the great clans and the loss of the Kybui. In that meeting were Komura and Homura, both war veterans that were elected by the civilians to represent the civilians. Then there was Haishi Hyuga, the leader of the Hyuga clan. There was also Tsume Inuzuka, who was the head of the Inuzuka clan. Leading the meeting was Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was the Hokage. So as you are aware, we had 4 clans and the 9-tails Jinchuriki left. So did Hinata Hyuga, Guy, Kakashi, Anko, and an orphan named Rock Lee. Haishi, I am sorry that your daughter left the village. I am sure you miss her. I don't miss that failure; it just made it easy for the prodigy of the Hyuga clan, Hanabi, to be the princess. There was still a little bit of my daughter that liked Hinata, but now that she is a traitor, she wishes to see her on a mission one day so she can kill her. Okay, well, what do you think about the 4 clans moving from the village? Tsume responded, anyone not loyal to their country is a coward, and I am glad they left so we can rebuild without the cowards. Komura, Homura, and Hiashi all nodded in agreement. Homura and I both believe that this is a great opportunity to use our alliance with the sand village to crush the Hidden Mist village. We need our 9-tails Jinchuriki back, and we can split with them the spoils of war. Yes, I agree we will be able to defeat them, and then we would regain some of our lost power. Hiruzen knew that this was the correct response. Hiashi nodded his head in agreement to Tsume's statement. Yes, I completely agree with you guys; as much as I feel like it was my fault they left, this is an act of war, and we must act appropriately.

An ANBU flashed into the meeting. Hokage-sama I know this may not be the best time, but there is some extremely important news. Hiruzen took the scroll and read it, and everyone in the room could see the shock on the otherwise even-keeled Hokage. The Mist and Kumo have made an alliance that specifically states that if one of the other countries is attacked, they will both go to war. Tsume screamed, This is great news! Now with Kumo in the fold, we would have so many resources to split after the war. Could you think about it? We would be stronger than before all of the clans left; it would be absolutely amazing. Hiruzen could see everyone nodding their head to that. We are not the same Konoha as before; we would lose. You guys are also underestimating Kumo's strength greatly. I will not be invading them; we need time to rebuild our power through our own ninjas.
