Chapter 5: Politics....kill me.
After I took the position as the Kazekage... well, let's say new spread fucking quick in the ninja world, that Orochimaru had killed Rasa and that I alone was able to make the snake run in fear.
Yeah, they are selling the image of me being a god between mortals hard.
Temari and Kankuro were sad for the first weeks; their dad died.
But they were also happy to be able to interact with me, when I told them I was appointed as the next Kazekage, they froze and stood in total silence for two hours.
After the initial shock, Temari made some cookies to celebrate, cookies that I brought with me to my first day in the office.
One of the Anbu requested to try my cookies, and seconds later, he was kneeling on the floor shouting that someone was trying to poison the Kazekage, I started to laugh for twenty minutes straight, since that day they fear the culinary power of Temari.
Like always, I got a massive power boost thanks to the kage title on my stats, but I'm pretty sure this is the last one; there is no higher title in the ninja world.
The first few days in the office I noticed that Rasa was sending the ninety percent of the village budget to the military faction, no wonder people were fucking starving, and no only that the village was super poor with almost no income, the only thing we produced was poisons, and gold dust we couldn't survive only on that.
"Jesus," I said, rubbing my temples, "How the fuck will I fix this...maybe some hydroponic sheds? that might fix the situation that we have by buying all our food from the other villages and the bastards take advantage of the situation and sell it twice the normal price, Konoha is the only nice one that sells their shit on a normal price, but we have no money for that."
"Hydroponic sheds?" Chiyo said, entering my office.
"Oh yeah, I forgot we might as well be on the stone era; it's an idea I had to solve the food shortage in the village." I sighed.
After explaining how it worked Chiyo started to call the engineers in the village, they made some plans and sketches and said they should be able to have those done by the end of the month easily, they were happy that I found a way to fix the food shortage, but that would take time, even though crops grow faster with chakra they still take time.
"What a wonderful idea; you are indeed worthy of being our kage," Chiyo said, smiling.
"Yir indiid wirthi, fuck you old lady, I feel my youth fading with this shit," I said as Chiyo laughed.
I had some other problems since I took the seat, while I had the sixty percent of the council on my side some of them weren't and I knew some were under Sasori's control, so I commanded some Anbus to investigate them, I told them I knew some of them were being manipulated, Chiyo at first was reluctant, but after hearing my explaining, Chiyo, Baki, and Koro decided to take the traitors themselves, with the sixty percent on my side, they couldn't outvote the investigation, and we managed to get the ones that had a personal hate with the Kazekage clan and the puppets Sasori had in hand, having the seal Sasori used to mind control them, we started to investigate the entire village, taking one by one the ones under his control, soon Sasori won't have shit in the village, and will have to come back to reinstate his spy network, and I will be waiting for him to kill him, I was confident that Akatsuki was not a threat to me, except for Nagato, he was probably still stronger than me, but that's not something it bothers me, I have time to prepare and show in what actual pain is as I feel his organs with sand and make him pop.
Being a Kage is like an office Job why did Naruto wanted this shit all you do is political stuff, the Anbu's are annoying me if I fart I'm one hundred percent sure an Anbu is close to smell it.
Giving mission to every ninja is a pain in the ass, you have to be sure they are able to complete said missions and ensure they have the tools to complete said mission.
My project to fix the food problem was going smoothly, we got some rice and a big piece of empty land to start the project I put some civilians with knowledge in agriculture and some retired ninja that couldn't work because of injuries to work on the field as supervisors and protection, they were happy to serve the village once more, and for what it seems we will get enough rice to sell at a good price in the village in a few weeks, besides rice we had some wheat.
The village seems happy that we are investing money to solve their problems as our Daimyo, that had started economic treaties with small villages to sell rice and wheat cheaper than other villages, the economic the department said that if we continue to expand like this in a year or two the village would be self-sufficient economically speaking.
And that's what I did for two years focus on the economic aspect of the village.
**********************************************************************************************************
TWO YEARS LATER
The village is finally stable, we still have some problems here and there, but nothing that can compare to the disaster Rasa left behind, we have enough food to feed our citizens and enough missions to keep or ninjas busy, the Daimyo is happy with the situation and so am I.
Temari graduated from the academy a year ago, and I decided to congratulate her with a party, she was ecstatic to get the party, Gaara helped with the decorations, and Kankuro made sure she didn't notice the plan.
Gaara is better now, he has problems being friendly outside the family and hurts anybody that bothers him, but at least he is not killing people, he just send them to the hospital if they start bothering him by calling him names or trying to attack him, I have been training him to control his sand better.
Temari one day caught us training and demanded to be trained with me, she said that if I made time for Gaara I should do the same for her, let me tell you something she is scary, poor Shikamaru, so after the scolding of my life, I started training my siblings.
I did the same party plan when Kankuro graduated, I was happy they took a normal amount of time, and I was not about to push them through the ranks.
Temari was thirteen, Kankuro twelve, and Gaara was ten, It was a funny dynamic I was able to use the, at your age I was a lot, it made me feel old but it gets the job is done.
"Kazekage-sama, we have a message from Konoha," one of my Anbu said kneeling giving a scroll.
Opening the scroll I started to read what did the old man with no balls to kill Orochimaru or Danzo wanted, while an alliance with Konoha was beneficial in the economic point I hated Hiruzen, one thing is being a pacifist and another is being a complete negligent asshole that lets two psychopaths run free, but he was going to die soon, though I wonder if Orochimaru will still try to strike Konoha during the Chunnin exams or me taking the power fuck that up for him.
'Esteemed Kazekage, I cordially invite you to the Land of Iron, so we can discuss an alliance between our two nations' The message had more information but that was what caught my attention, the old bastard wanted to form an alliance which meant if I decided to say yes I would make an enemy of Iwagakure and possibly of Kumogakure, but in the economic standpoint this will fix the problems we still had.
'Alright old bastard, let's see what you got,' I thought as I wrote my answer and gave the scroll to the Anbu to be delivered.
Making an alliance was a double edge sword, but it was a need it, I was planning to take Baki and Koro-sensei as my guards, I wonder if I can get some lands as a peace treaty for the old man, that way I could have a farming land without my invention, and yeah it my invention, none thought of it in this world.
