Chapter 9

~ 1 week later ~

In Japan there stood a building that has a history as old as the island itself. This building is quite special for residents in Japan. This is all due to one simple reason which is , This is the place where the important decisions would be made every month. They call this building the Jade palace.

The Jade palace has numerous rooms for different purposes such as Meeting rooms, guest rooms, dining rooms etc. Due to it holding a significant value to the Village most of the time it is guarded by Shadow garden, a unit that is tasked in protecting the Village in the shadows.

Today the Jade palace is quite lively. Since the monthly meeting would be held today, various clan heads and department heads came to the Jade palace to participate in the meeting.

Although any party can participate in this meeting they usually send their representatives to speak on behalf of them . For the major clans the clan heads take this responsibility. For the smaller clans they will not participate until they want to ask for permission for something their respective department heads couldn't do.

There are various departments in Japan. Most of the time these departments are managed by the clans such as the Sealing department by the Uzumaki. Of course non Uzumaki can also join this department or even become a department head. But that rarely happens as most clans usually are specialised in their respective fields.

Anyway even though this is an unorthodox way of governing the village with izanami’s leadership skills the village was thriving . This is also one of the reasons why no one fights for Village head position as they don’t have the confidence to lead the people as smoothly as she could.

In the room where the meeting was supposed to be held the atmosphere was quite lively. Various clan heads who were mostly busy due to their busy schedules often come early to catch up with each other. So most clan leaders and department heads are busy partying with each other. And if someone from earth looked at how they party they will most likely say that this is a yakuza gathering.

“ say Kazuma how is the recent project going, the one the matrach wanted. “ asked a middle aged man with a black hair and a beautiful face.

He is the clan head of the Yuki clan which was said to be wiped out in The Land of Water. Similar to the Uzumaki, they were rescued by Izanami and were tasked in running the public security department. Due to their good looks they were quite famous in the village.

“ Oh I already delivered that to the matriarch already. I gotta say using seals to create a pocket dimension and then anchoring it to a necklace is something only she can think of. Don’t you agree with me Haruko? “ said Kazuma while drinking some sake from his cup.

Kazuma is the clan leader of the Uzumaki clan and also the head of the Sealing department. His age is similar to Minato but with his red beard he appeared much older. Due to coming to the village with similar situations he and Haruko who is also known as Haruko Yuki got along together. And both of them are quite good friends.

Soon the door that led to this meeting room opened and Iznami came in. Beside there were Nanami and another man who was dressed like a young master. He had hair quite similar to Iznami but unlike her he didn’t have any silver strands in her hair.

Looking at his expression, Izanami's expression softened. When Kazuma came to the village he was just barely 7 years old. So Izanami saw him as one of her own children. And looking at his expression she said softly , “ Kazuma “

Kazuma turned to her. His eyes had lost most of its light. Izanami, unable to bear it said, “ Kazuma although I know it is cruel for me to say but you must move on. You have a nephew you know. Remember the necklace I asked you to make. I gave it to him. And also all hope is not lost you know. I managed to anchor part of their souls to the necklace. If we are lucky they could regenerate their souls and be able to have a chance to be reborn again. “

Hope began to come back into his eyes as he thought of what he just heard. Yes with seals it is possible for someone to stay in this world if they have a suitable body and a full soul. This is the same principle Orochimaru uses.

“ Matriarch, can I meet my nephew?” Kazuma suddenly asked. Since that child is in Konoha without anyone to look after him. He wanted to confirm his well being.

Izanami didn't speak but her aide Nanami spoke on behalf of her , “ That would be difficult for now. And you calm down first . This matter is also related to what we are about to discuss “

She looked at Vali who nodded and changed the content on everyone's screens. There instead of a report about the nine tails attack. There is a report on what happened in the high level meeting in Konoha. In that report there is something mentioned about a child that would not be adopted by anyone due to him being the Jinchūriki.
