Chapter 58 - 58. For Konoha... For Peace... LOL

[All that you are about to read is OC (Original creation.) This Dragon character does not exist in the Naruto world]

Before Shiroken's summoning. ​​

In the mountains on an island in the Far East, beyond the Water Country, a Dragon used to live. His name was Kurosaki. Actually, he was a very old dragon with kids and grandkids.

Today, as every year, he had decided to go to his kid's home mountain as it was his grandson's birthday. So after finding the right toy for the kid, he started his journey to fly home.

He was the oldest remaining Dragon of his species. There were not many to begin with and now only 6 were left, out of whom 4 places were occupied by his family.

The whole island was full of sky-high mountain peaks and every few mountains were home to a dragon. The birth of a new baby dragon was a very celebrated event in their community as it meant their numbers would increase again.

In all his long life, Kurosaki had travelled the whole world. He had seen the rise of human civilisation, met the tailed beasts, and tried to beat them too. There was only one person in his life who was able to summon him, and that was Hagoromo Otsutsuki. But, even then he did not sign a contract as he was nobody's pet.

~Hehe, my cute little Grandson must be missing me. Ah! I am getting impatient to hear him call me Grandpa~ Kurosaki gloated as he flew over the many mountain peaks.

*BOOM*

He suddenly felt a space-time anomaly around him. He immediately knew what it was, "Who could it be?" He wondered. Then the suction of the space and time came and he disappeared from his place.

Although he could reject the summon, he decided to go and see who this mortal was that could summon him, the immortal dragon.

...

"ABSOLUTELY NOT! Dragons do not bow to anybody." Kurosaki grumbled.

Shiroken's shoulder fell, "But, then what will it take to sign the contract? Umm... maybe a lot of gold?"

(*o*)

"*Cough* NO! You think you can sway me with this... Juicy shining... I mean riches? I will not sell myself for some little change." Kurosaki proudly denied the offer.

"Come on, there's gotta be something. Don't you want to have some adventures with me? I am very strong." Shiroken persuaded him, flexing some of his muscles.

"You do not have anything to offer me that I don't already have." The dragon replied.

Shiroken was in a dilemma, "Hmm, then why don't I fight you and defeat you? Isn't that how many contracts are agreed upon?"

"Barbarian, why would I fight with you when I have no wish to sign a contract? I am going home." The dragon scoffed and proceeded to go back.

"NOOOooo..." Shiroken jumped after him and was able to get a hold of the Dragon's tail.

*POOF*

Monari was left there, rubbing her head in confusion, "Hmm, this was not how it was supposed to go."

"KEKE..." The monkey was still there, now sitting on Monari's head. "Are you hungry?" She asked. In reply, the monkey jumped on her head.

"Then let's go and eat, hmm... Let's name you something. Momo... That's nice. What do you think?" She asked.

"KEEEKAAAA..." The monkey jumped on her head joyfully and also left a peck on her cheek in happiness.

"Haha, flirting with a married woman? I will have to teach you to behave along with Shirajin it seems." She chortled and went back to the palace. She was not worried about Shiroken as he was an entirely different being in terms of power now.

...

"GET AWAY FROM ME! I am a dragon!" Kurosaki was flying left and right trying to make Shiroken fall from his back.

"Come on, just listen to me, I will give you monthly payment in gold, just sign a contract. Just for a few months, then I will have all my family back together, you can then return to being jobless. What do you even do? You are an old grandpa, you got no job or anything. Isn't life boring this way?" He asked.

Kurosaki fell into a dilemma, it was true that he just lazed around these days, not caring at all about what happens around him. He just sits in his cave, sleeping, eating and sleeping some more.

"How much will you pay?" He inquired.

~YES!~ Shiroken knew this was a done deal now.

"1000 Gold coins every single month." He offered.

"No, make it 5 thousand and I will not work for more than 6 months," Kurosaki demanded, he didn't even bother Shiroken sitting on his back now.

Shiroken haggled, "Umm... the best I can do is 1287 coins."

"??? What's with this specific number?" Kurosaki asked.

Shiroken shrugged, "Hehe, I just liked it. So, done deal?"

"NO! 4 thousand or no deal."

"Come on, you are already rich most likely, this isn't about money, but making bonds, having adventures. I say, 900 should be fine." Shiroken offered, patting Kurosaki's back.

"GET DOWN! You don't deserve to sit there, and how did the money go down? It should be increasing." The dragon raged in annoyance.

Shiroken caressed his back, "Calm down, calm down, fine, 2 thousand is the final offer."

Kurosaki did some mental calculation, ~Hmm, I will be making 12 thousand gold coins so easily. Hehehe~

"Done, but I will not sign anywhere. I am a proud being, I will never sign on a slavery contract, but my word has weight, I have an honour to uphold, I shall not break my words." Kurosaki proudly remarked.

*PAT* *PAT*

"Good, that's what I like." *Scratch* Shiroken moved near the big dragon's head and started scratching near his horns on the head.

Kurosaki's body suddenly went light and his head wobbled in pleasure... "Ah! That's the spot... WAIT! NO! STOP MESSING AROUND!"

...

Konohagakure,

Jiraiya did not waste any time in returning to his village. He needed to bring back all the information so that the next course of action could be planned. It was very clear that Shiroken's powers were otherworldly strong.

~Tsk, the world is so ignorant, there is a literal god standing on our necks and we still focus on the enemy in front of us~ He thought to himself. The 3rd Shinobi war may have ended, but the animosity between villages did not. Now there was this proxy war kind of situation going on. All except Kirigakure, who was being very nice and good with everything.

He soon arrived at the village and was immediately granted an audience with Hiruzen. "Lord Hokage, I have news, but they are not good."

Hiruzen put his smoking pipe down and asked, "Tell me everything in detail."

"I made contact, I was also able to meet Shiroken Da... I should call him Lord Dama too, well I met him. He was able to swat me away like I was a kid, and I didn't even see him move. He can also fly. It is unknown how, and what kind of other powers he has.

"However, he didn't really stay angry at me, in fact, he made it clear that he does not have any fight with us personally, instead his fight is with the world, and its ideology. How humans have enslaved his family and continue to wage wars. He is not much different from us, the only difference is that he has the power to do whatever he desires." Jiraiya explained.

"What about the country and peace treaty?" Hiruzen inquired. As far as it went about Shiroken's disgust towards petty human behaviour, he could understand.

Jiraiya continued, but gleefully at the start. "Well, hehe... the women are very beautiful there... Ah... those plums, curves... OH! I got a new idea for a book..."

*COUGH* Hiruzen coughed and reminded him of his task.

"Yes, well they are utterly rich, their economy is flourishing, trade is booming, and they are most likely richer than any other nation in the world." His face turned angry and frustrated, "The Uzumaki clan is also living and thriving there… They hate Konoha for not helping them."

Hiruzen stayed silent and just listened. In reality, though, his heart ached.

"There is no peace treaty, he made it clear he will not forgive Konoha. Well, unless we start spreading the facts and bad deeds of Lord First until it reaches every single child in the world. Only then will he consider establishing official relations with us." Jiraiya revealed.

There was silence now, Hiruzen picked up his pipe and smoked again. He was deep in thought, wondering what damage it could do to them.

However, as much as he loved Lord First and didn't want to smear his name, it was true that they were dead. What mattered now was the village and only the village.

*Sigh*

"You are good at spreading the word, Jiraiya." He muttered.

Jiraiya nodded, he knew what Hiruzen had decided. "I will start printing out some posters."

Jiraiya then left the office to go and find his godson. Once left alone, Hiruzen sadly looked at the photo of Hashirama on the wall, "Forgive me, Lord First. But I am doing this for Konoha. For peace."

[A/N: Haha, Hashirama's words are now spoken by Hiruzen. This is called the Cycle of Shitty Hokage.]
