Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 63

“ Things got more troublesome, “ Shikaku muttered as he saw Hiruzen leave. If the Daimyo is here personally then things will get more complicated.

One had to know that the Fire Daimyo apart from the time Konoha was founded had never set foot in Konoha. It is them who goes to the Fire country to discuss important matters. For the Fire Daimyo to personally come here there could be one reason.

The impending war with the World Bank. If the Daimyo were to interfere then that would mean Konoha is deep shit.

The current Konoha cannot have both the Daimyo and the World Bank as their enemies at the same time.

“Sigh what a drag “ he said as he wished things wouldn’t get any more worse.

In a more lavish room the fire Daimyo was looking at Hiruzen with an angry look. He was furious at what he heard.

Previously he came to order Hriuzen to apprehend Danzo and hand him to Izanami so that she wouldn’t start a war. But his hopes were instantly crushed when he heard Danzo had gone missing.

“ Hiuzen do you have any excuses for you to say ? Not only did you fail to keep a criminal in custody, you even let him live after he dared to attack a representative from the World Bank. “ The Fire Daimyo asked with a cold tone.

Hiruzen was sweating profusely as he heard the tone fire Daimyo was speaking. At this time he regretted not capturing Danzo earlier. If he had made a decision earlier he would have been spared from this lecture.

“I ..i “ just before Hiruzen was about to give an explanation the Fire Daimyo interrupted him while saying,

“ Forget it , I don’t want to hear your pathetic excuses. I will give you two days to find that Danzo and bring him to me, dead or alive. If not, you better be prepared to face the consequences. “ The Fire Daimyo said he stood up as left the room.

Just before he left the room he turned back and said, “Oh and find me someone who could guide me to where lady Izanami is. “

Hiruzen, although a bit reluctant getured one of his Anbu ninja to escort the Daimyo. As a politician he could see what the Daimyo wanted to do.

He wanted to meet Izanami and make sure the Land of Fire wouldn’t be affected by the war. This means he has already given up Konoha. In other words he has chosen to side with the World Bank.

“Damn it “ Hiruzen said, banging his fists on the desk , completely breaking it. Due to his anger he released his chakra unconsciously. Fortunately the Daimyo was quite far away so he couldn’t really feel it.

Or else Hiruzen would have to deal with another problem. An attempt to threaten the Daimyo is the last thing he wanted to be known for.

“Danzo you better pray you have enough luck because I'm gonna kill you for causing all this mess. “ Hiruzen said as he stormed off the room. Hopefully others are still in the meeting room. Or else he would have to waste more time waiting for them to come.

“ So that's what happening huh “ Izanami said as a member of the Yokai unit reported to her what Hiruzen and the Daimyo talked about.

“ I must say that guy came here too fast. I wonder why is that “ Izanami said as she gave Nanami a look.

Nanami didn’t even flinch as she stated, “ it was stated that he came here by the express carriages from the World Bank. “

“Oh I wonder why that is, “ Izanami asked with a smile.

“According to what I heard he practically begged them to let him aboard the express carriage.His reason being that he wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible. “ Nanami said, still not showing any emotion.

“ I see that is quite the coincidence isn’t it. Just when the Daimyo wanted to go to Konoha, he just so happened to see a passing by empress carriage that so happens to be heading towards Konoha. “ Izanami said with a chuckle.

Hearing her words even Nanami had a twitch in her eye. She knew no matter how much she tried she could never hide anything from her mother. How could she when her mother is the best at Schemes.

“ So wanna tell me what you and Nagisa are planning this time? “ Izanami asked with a sigh.

Nanami shook her head and answered, “I don’t know what you are talking about “

Hearing this Izanami sighed again. She knew Nanami can be very stubborn sometimes. ‘ well I'll just deal with it when the time comes. I doubt those two would do anything drastic that would crumble my whole plan. ‘Izanami thought as she pushed those worries to the back of her mind.

“ So anyways, how are the other villages taking this? Are they already marching with their troops? “ Izanami asked changing the subject.

“Well Kumo , Iwa and Suna were about to do that but after they all received a letter from their respected Daimyo they all backed down immediately. “ Nanami said as she adjusted her glasses.

“ Oh all three of them, “ Izanami asked, raising one eyebrow.

“Yes all three hidden villages' ' Nanami said, confirming Izznami’s words.

“That’s surprising . Iwa and Suna I can understand. But Kumo, that's shocking. Didn’t the Raikage give his usual middle finger and dismiss the order. “ Izanami asked.

“ Well that’s what’s supposed to happen but from what I heard the Thunder Daimyo threatened to cut all ties with them if they even moved a single soldier to the borders. This of course didn’t deter A but he was forced to submit because of the rest of the council also threatening him to take a step down. “ Nanami said.

“Oh I can imagine A’s face when he finds out that most of the village will go to war with him for disregarding the Daimyo’s orders. “ Izanami said as she laughed out loud.

“Well this is to be expected. The Land of Thunder’s Daimyo is the most cunning amongst all the other Daimyo's. He would never let a prideful man like A rain over the hidden cloud village if he didn’t have any back up plans. “ Nanami said with a shrug.

Strictly speaking hidden villages are supposed to be called a part of the Daimyo’s forces. So most of the time it is the Daimyo who sponsors the hidden village's more expensive missions.

So that is why the hidden cloud village usually goes to extreme measures when they are trying to go to war. They knew the Daimyo had their back. Which is also why they were so shameless as to sacrifice one of their men into being a Byakugan into their village while threatening to go to war.

And as far as Iznami know, the hidden cloud ninjas came to Konoha while carrying the identities of the Daimyo’s representatives. This directly told anyone that the Daimyo fully supports the whole operation.
