An hour later Yui was heading to the Mizukage's office, she could sense from the shadows hundreds of elite ninjas around the building hiding, "By the smell, the ninjas of the clans are also here." She stated giving a sniff of the air smelling the salt water and ice distinct from the village clans.
However there was also a reek of fish and bones, "It looks like it's not that simple." Yui claimed when he sensed that ninjas from all clans were here, including the Kaguya clan who would not meddle in the village's interests.
Being watched by the ninjas Yui entered the building before heading to the office and slowly opening the door, as the air pressure dropped several levels as all the figures in the office released their auras.
Yui of course released her own and the huge amount of Chakra being released in the place started to suffocate some ninjas hiding in the room who couldn't breathe, "Very good little girl, you're not bad!" One of the figures around the table said as he drank a serve and the room lights came on.
In this place were now found the patriarchs of all clans, of the Hōzuki was a pale man with blue hair, Hoshigaki was a man literally half a shark, the Patriarch of the Yuki clan was also there he was also pale characteristic of the Yuki but he was very handsome and has remained silent so far.
And lastly there was the patriarch of the Kaguya clan wearing a kimono and drinking loot disregarding any courtesy to the other patriarchs, "Special Jounin Yui, introducing himself." Yui said and entered the room as he approached the table where they were and saw several papers with maps and drawings on it.
"Welcome Yui." At that moment the Mizukage's chair turned and like a super villain he stared at her with a look that he already knew his plan had worked out but before she could question him at all he got up from his chair and clapped his hands, a few ninjas emerged from the shadows bringing a map of the continent bordering the villages and they began placing pieces representing the troops in each village.
At that moment Yui started to feel a bad feeling and looked directly at the Mizukage who began to explain his plan with a smile on his face, "Look at the newly promoted commander Yui, the other patriarchs and I have put together a plan of attack that will allow our village gain an advantage over others." He started talking and and she felt another bad premonition when she heard his new title.
He placed his finger on the map over the land of Rio and traced a line from the coast to the land of sound passing through all the battle fronts, "I will send you with our elites and 10,000 ninjas to the war front, the plan consists of to go through all the battlefronts and deal as much damage as possible against the troops in the villages!" He said raising his arms in what seemed more like a mad gesture on his part about this plan which consisted of sending his forces straight to the heart of the meat grinder of this war.
Yui looked at the patriarchs who, when they heard the plans, gritted their teeth tightly and kept their heads down except the Kaguya clan who laughed at the possibility of slaking their desire for battle, it was at that moment that Yui understood that there was no point in protesting this plan mad.
Someone bigger was pulling and Yui knew who.
" Madara Uchiha." She thought as she analyzed the points and information she'd received over the past few months, the war at this moment was entering its peak state with thousands dead every day, starvation and renegade ninjas everywhere robbing and killing innocents.
The continent at that time was hell on earth and the battlefront is the last place she would want to go at this point with the sighting of jinchuriikis on the battlefield and various geniuses making her name known as the 3 Sennins, Minato and various other ninjas from all villages.
And although Yui wanted to refuse this request she realized she was out of a choice, even though she was strong and able to fight a Kage level power if she refused this order now she would be forced to fight against several patriarchs with power level ranging between Kage and against a real Kage.
Without a doubt she would lose or win at great cost but not being able to protect her family, "Tsk!" She clicked her tongue and decided to comply with the order for the time being but it wouldn't be free.
"Very well Mizukage-sama, however I have a request before accepting the order." She said causing the Mizukage who had a victorious smile on his face to wave his hand for her to continue, "I would like to test the skills of our fog swordsmen and see if they are able to carry their swords." She said surprising everyone with those words.
"Very well I don't see any problems." The mizukage nodded without even blinking and clapped twice, at which point the fog swordsmen now reduced to 4 appeared in the room.
------------------------------
Hey guys here is the author and I'm going to Buff Yui's powers during the next few chapters, if you think Yui is getting too broken post a comment.
"I would like to disqualify all Mist Swordsmen and collect their swords." Yui said making the eyes of everyone in the room opened except Mizukage who expected some demand from her but not this one.
A silence remained in the room with only the breathing of the people in the room forming the mood, the patriarchs wouldn't try to meddle in Yui's request and as the Mizukage didn't say anything the silence continued in the office.
"Did she really make that request?" Kisame thought thinking he had become a good friend of Yui's when he asked her to eat pasta the day she joined the swordsmen but who knew she would stab him and the other swordsmen in the back at the first opportunity.
The other swordsmen were almost on the same line of thought feeling a bit offended by this request, "Well, there's no way the Mizukage can accept that request." They thought together and at that very moment he stopped tapping his fingers.
"Very well, surrender your weapons." The Mizukage's words echoed in the hall leaving the climate before cold even colder, the swordsmen in the fog froze upon realizing that the request was really obeyed and they felt betrayed after everything they had done in the village.
Grudgingly each of them passed their swords to Yui who smiled as he received them all just waiting for Kisame to grudgingly deliver Samehada, "I suggest you be careful, she has a very demanding taste..." He tried to warn Yui who simply grabbed the sword and felt his Chakra being sucked lightly before a growl came out of the sword of approval.
Kisame at that moment felt his heart being stabbed with the betrayal of his longtime companion and returned to his original depressed position, the Mizukage decided not to ask what Yui would do with the swords despite being relics of the village he needed her to lead the attack to the middle of the war.
"Well then with that we'll close the meeting, you can leave." He said and everyone headed out of the room while Yui carried with her small body blades much bigger than her making the scene look quite comical.
However Yui was not inattentive and noticed the Yuki clan patriarch sending a signal for her to follow him which she did after eluding the ninjas who were supposed to watch her, following his scent she arrived at a somewhat rundown tea house and he walked in through the front door still carrying his swords.
Inside the Patriarch was waiting drinking tea at a table and he motioned for her to come over, the shop was empty with just the two of them there at the moment and without showing any kindness she sat at the table while placing the swords on the bench beside .
"Well then Sir Patriarch, let's skip straight to the important part where you tell me why you and the other clan patriarchs agreed to this crazy plan." Yui said as she took the cup of tea the Patriarch was drinking.
He didn't get annoyed by her actions and just smiled weakly as he took another tea from under the table, "I'll tell you but, I can tell by the aura you give off that you're not very calm." The moment he said this the cup in Yui's hands exploded and the wooden table shattered as veins protruded from Yui's face.
She usually has a lot of emotional control to make sure she doesn't lose her temper and go around killing anyone she finds annoying, however the Mizukage's latest brazen actions and his suicidal plot putting her in front of him were making his patience run out.
"Yes, I'm quite unstable right now so it's good that the lord Patriarch gives me a good reason not to test these swords by my side." She said looking menacingly at the Patriarch who decided to cut to the chase, "So in a nutshell." He said and gave a news that surprised Yui.
"The water lord has died and a great hole has been opened in the politics and power of the water country, at this time the Mizukage is the most influential person and all of the water lord's sons want his political support to assume the position of lord."
Yui's eyes widened at this news and all the anger inside her leaked out immediately replaced by pure calm and reason, "How far has this news gone?" She asked as she thought about the problems this would bring.
"Among influential figures in the world alone, an official announcement will be made in 1 month along with the official declaration of an heir to the position but as the situation was unexpected and no one was ready it can wait 5 months before there is real stability." The patriarch said taking a sip of tea before placing the cup on the table and bowing his head slightly.
"That's why I must make a request to you, I ask you to protect my son Kenji and all ninjas that are sent with you." The patriarch said in a heavy voice as his heart was crushed for throwing the responsibility of 10,000 lives onto a child like Yui.
He was expecting a rejection or a curse on him however all he got was a charitable look from Yui who realized his despair at having his son sent to his death.
She let out a short breath and mentally contacted Saiken, "Hey Saiken is there?" She asked in his head and soon an answer came, "I am, do you need my help?" Saiken said a little surprised that Yui called him that out of nowhere.
"Tell me, what is honor?" She asked how he felt awkward about this random question, "Well, according to what you humans say Honor is a self-imposed rule that shouldn't be broken as it means betraying yourself." He said trying to piece together the information from her memories and gave the best answer that came at the time.
"I understand, thanks." She said to Saiken and opened her eyes and faced the Patriarch, "Very well, I will protect each life entrusted to me with all my strength" She paused while giving a small smile.
"That's my ninja way of being!"
