Chapter 103 - 103. Ruler Of 4 Nations

Shiroken was shocked by how uninteresting and foolish the Daimyo looked. The man had small, circular eyes and dark pupils. He also wore the standard daimyo headpiece. Shiroken didn't know who made this headpiece a fashion or a rule for the Daimyos, he never wore it and neither did Jin.

The Fire Country Daimyo, if needed to be described in the fewest words, was an unambitious, dimwitted and spineless man who won a lottery of a lifetime by being born to the previous Daimyo.

The name of the Fire Daimyo was Unchi Okimura. Shiroken laughed heartily when he heard this name. As Oki meant big and Unchi meant poop.

"So, Daimyo Unchi. Are you going to stay sitting there like some big lord or come here and talk face to face like a man?" He asked.

The Daimyo looked left and right, maybe looking for some moral support. He was basically like a braindead person, he didn't run the country, his aids did. And whenever a maniac was in control a war happened.

Shiroken put on a very wide and friendly smile, "Come, let's talk man to man. I have a big business proposition for you."

Daimyo Unchi had two aids who were currently his advisors. Both of them were opposite of each other so they always fought. But, in front of Shiroken even they stayed silent.

"Yes, Lord Daimyo, you should talk to him." They advised him.

Daimyo Unchi nervously nodded as if Shiroken had asked him for his kidney. He then led the way to a better area where they could sit. His two advisors silently followed.

After a while, Shiroken and the Daimyo sat face to face. There was nobody else snooping on them except his two advisors.

"What does Lord Dama offer?" Daimyo Unchi asked.

Shiroken took out a few documents from his pocket, "Look at these. Did you know, Konoha was recently attacked? Their Hokage has become a cripple now."

"WHAT? When?" The Daimyo exclaimed.

"Calm down, I stopped the attack, the village is safe. But you need to pay me for saving the village. Just know this, Kumogakure and Iwagakure have joined hands to attack Konoha later. I'm sure their Daimyos would also love to take a huge chunk of your land." He used half facts to strike fear in him.

The Daimyo Unchi turned to his advisors, "Is what he said right?"

Both of them looked confused, "Lord Daimyo, we do know that the Raikage and Tsuchikage just met a few days ago and discussed something. If Lord Dama is saying it, then it must be true."

"Yes, that's why I would like to offer an alliance. I will rule over the regions of the Fire Country as the Supreme Daimyo, just like how I do with the Water country, the Wave Country and the Dama Country. You will remain the Daimyo and live as you are. But I will administer the country instead of you, to maintain peace, security and prosperity. I can guarantee, I can make the Fire Country as rich as the Dama Country." He offered.

And as expected, the dim-witted Daimyo couldn't understand the scope of what Shiroken just asked him. In his mind, he just thought that if the Daimyo of the Water Country was fine with it and was living nicely, why couldn't he? If he lets Shiroken do all the work then he can just sit back and enjoy.

"What exactly will happen to me?" The Daimyo asked.

"You will get money monthly and other living expenses to live luxuriously and enjoy life. All the headaches of finance and management will be mine." Shiroken briefed him.

The Daimyo liked it. It was his dream to live in comfort. So he turned to his advisors, "What are your thoughts?"

"Sign it, Lord Daimyo. What if the joint forces of Kumo and Iwa attack us? We can not defeat them alone, not when Konoha is weak. We need Lord Dama's help and wealth." They guided him.

Daimyo Unchi was happy. He thought he was making the best decision of his life. "Then... I agree, Lord Dama. Where must I sign?"

Shiroken put forward a document. It had clear terms written on it. It stated that the Daimyo Unchi Okimura was ceding all his rights, authority and possessions over to Shiroken and recognises him as the ruler of the land and his superior, the Supreme Daimyo.

"Just put your seal on it and also your whole palm impression," Shiroken instructed him.

Excitedly, Daimyo immediately put his palm impression. Shocked, Shiroken warned him, "At least read the agreement first."

"My advisors will do that. I must go back and celebrate with my wives." He restlessly got up to leave. Before leaving, he passed a stamp box to his advisors, "Read the document and sign it for me."

And he was gone with that. The fool didn't even know, he sold his country just for a few promises because he was lazy.

Now, only the two advisors of Daimyo were left. They both had a very shrewd smile on their faces.

Seeing this, Shiroken sighed, "So, what's it gonna take to sign it?"

"I want 50,000,000 Ryo and 100 acres of land." One requested.

"Me too," The other also nodded.

Shiroken facepalmed, "You do know I can just stop supplying you two energy and turn you into smoke?"

"How dare you... so what if we're your morphed clones, we've been here for the past whole month, working our asses off. Do you have any idea how hard it is to babysit a grown man?"

Shiroken laughed, "Well, now you won't have to. Make sure he's impotent and never sires any children. If he ever gets into an accident, let him die. Just sign this now so I can leave. I have a lot of work to do."

They scoffed and stamped the agreement, finally making it official. Shiroken now officially ruled the Fire Country as its Supreme Daimyo.

He had actually initiated this plan way in the past. In his eyes, Konoha and Kumo were the strongest villages. So he had sent two clones to each country to infiltrate the Daimyo's circle. These two here were able to take the place of the advisors of Daimyo after the two drowned in the river in an accident.

This was the main reason why Shiroken came into the palace freely and even scolded the Daimyo. He had actually won even before the battle had even started.

~Trully, real battles aren't fought in the fields, they are fought around such tables.~ He muttered as he left the palace. Now he would return to Konoha, grab his stuff and leave for Suna. Then he'd stay there, organise some things, deal with Orochimaru, deal with the Wind Daimyo and then return to the Dama Country… his home.

...

Unknown Location,

The meeting had been called by a group called Akatsuki. This was a very important one since they were going to launch a big offensive move soon.

This was the reason most of them were now physically standing there.

Their leader, the purple-eyed and orange-haired man stood tall.

"He has caught the nine tails and one tail now. But, all hope is not lost yet. From what we know, he has not extracted them yet. And because of Orochimaru's recent attack, the Konoha village is hurt and weak. The third Hokage is now a cripple, there is no strong shinobi present.

"Hence, we will use a strategy this time. Four of us will go and hunt down the four tails. But we will make it known so he will know about our plan to attack. Our aim is to lure him away, as far as possible from Konoha.

"Then, the rest of us shall attack Konoha and take the nine tails and one tail. But, while doing so we will also alert Shiroken Dama. He will have to choose whom to save.

In the end, we will have a tailed beast in our hands. If everything goes well, we shall have three of them at the same time." Pain revealed the plan.

"OH! I wanna go to Konoha. I've never seen it." A blonde boy jumped excitedly.

Pain spoke again, telling who will go where, "Deidara, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Konan and Sasori, all of you will come with me to Konohagakure. Kakuzu, Hidan, Tobi and Juzo Biwa, you four will go to get the four tails."

The plan was made, all that was left now was to successfully execute it. It was risky but they needed it. Because once Shiroken gets the nine tails and one tail, he will have 5 tailed beasts, all free to move around with all their power. It would become impossible to get them all then.

[A/N: Unchi, my dude. I was just searching for the Japanese word for poop and found Unchi there. No hard feelings XD]
