Chapter 502: Diplomatic Meeting

Chapter 502: Diplomatic Meeting

While the Daimyos were chatting among themselves, the image of another figure appears on the central screen.

"It's nice to meet you, people of the shinobi world."

A youthful figure clad in regal clothes curtly greets them. The youthful figure has a crown on his head and is accompanied by two figures on his left and right, a man and a woman.

Minato recognizes the woman as the current clan head of the Uzu clan, Akari Uzu. However, he has no hint about the identity of the youth and the person beside him.

The expression of all Daimyos also tenses up as they recognize the youth as someone important.

Akari steps forward and greets the Daimyos and Minato as she introduces the youthful figure.

"I am Akari, the leader of the Uzu clan, a guardian of the Redaku, and this is his majesty Senshura Seimei." Akari introduces the young man beside her.

"And the person beside his majesty is his trusted aide and the current prime minister of Redaku Suzuki Ikumi."

The prime minister curtly bows to the Daimyos. The Daimyo also reciprocates their greeting.

"Oh, never had we expected that the current king of Redaku is such a youthful figure." The Earth Daimyo chuckles and shifts the fan in front of his face.

"Even though my lord is young, his abilities are well known among the citizens of Redaku. Under his short reign, Redaku has prospered in all fields and aspects." Ikumi glances at the various Daimyos.

Tense rises in the air as both sides glare at each other.

Sigh

Minato sighs softly. UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

'The Daimyo are too prideful of their status and power.'

"Now now We weren't doubtful of Seimei san's abilities. It was just a pleasant surprise to hear his noble name." The lightning Daimyo tries to placate the situation after witnessing the unyielding expression of both sides.

"I hope that's the case!" Ikumi continues to glare at them.

"That should be enough, Ikumi!" Seimei opens his mouth.

"Yes, my lord!" Ikumi nods and retreats behind Seimei.

"So, before we start the diplomatic discussions; I would like to make a few things clear to every participating nation." Seimei's expression turns serious.

"Redaku is a peace-loving country with its fair share of war and turmoil in the past. Our history dates even further than the Sage of Six Paths and there are even clear records of the Sage of Six Path's visit to Redaku. Not only, the royal family of the Redaku possesses a powerful artifact granted us to by the Sage himself. Only a member of the Royal family can control it and that artifact is capable of flooding the entire world on a single command of mine." Seimei shows a dominant expression in front of the Daimyos with a clear, threatening expression on his face.

The expression of various Daimyos turns ugly from the threat.

"Lord Seimei, your words seem to be inappropriate for a peaceful diplomatic relationship." The Water Daimyo intrudes.

"Lord Izuna is still in Redaku. He is currently accompanying his two little kids." Akari calmly reveals the matter to Izuna.

"So, he is back!" Minato sighs in relief and slumps down on the chair. The frown on his face disappears and even the looming tension of ongoing war lessens a lot. The burden in his heart slowly vanishes as he closes his eyes.

"I knew it! He will be fine!" Minato sighs again and opens his eyes.

"Did he leave any message for us?" Minato turns to Akari.

"Mm Lord Izuna said, 'I am currently unable to participate in the Fourth Shinobi War due to a few circumstances that might negatively affect the entire world. However, I will intervene in the war when my intervention is required." Akari repeats Izuna's words to Minato.

"I see!" Minato ponders for a while.

'Perhaps it has something to do with the otherworldly threats. Izuna is still hiding a lot of things from us. Once this war is over, I will force him to reveal everything without any excuse.'

"So, does that mean the current intervention of Redaku?"

"Yes, it was Lord Izuna who asked us to do so. Also, I have already sent a few elite members of my Uzu clan to the shinobi world. They will shortly arrive to aid you in the war." Akari continues.

"Then I am very grateful for your support!" Minato bows slightly in gratitude.

"Also, send a message to Izuna from me- "His family is eagerly waiting to meet him. Especially his wife, his mentor, his teacher, and most of all, his younger sister"."

"Very well!" Akari nods in affirmation.

Meanwhile, as Minato was busy with the diplomatic meeting;

Shikaku receives an unknown communication request from.

His expression changes slightly as he communicates with the speaker on the end.

"Hmm that will be difficult. However, I will see what I can do." Shikaku replies and cuts off the communication.

He turns to Inoichi.

"Inform the Raikage of the situation and ask him to hold enemy forces until the reinforcement arrives on the battlefield."

"Mm" Inoichi nods at him and swiftly contacts A.
