Chapter 18: Family meeting
The sun cast a warm orange glow over the long dining table. Mizuna sat at the head, his eyes shining with warmth as he gazed at the female shinobis eating with him
To his left was Hiyori Hyuga, his mother. A busty woman in his 40s, and the Patriarch of the Hyuga clan's elder sister. To his right is Kimi Uchiha, an orphan who was trained by Madara at a young age and helped Hiyori raise him
There's also Asami Hyuga a chunin, one of the protectors tasked to guard Mizuna by his uncle. Hirabi Hyuga is the most talented chunin of the Hyuga clan. Miss Jonin, is a medic and one of the most powerful Jonin of the Hyuga clan.
There's also Toka Senju, one of Hashirama Senju's trusted subordinates and the owner of the residence he is living in. And the twin Senju, Toka's granddaughters that are as powerful as Asami
And lastly Pakira, a captured Shinobi of the village hidden by the Sands, a powerful Jonin and a user of Scorch Release
Mizuna's eyes were glued to the group of Shinobis, their laughter and conversation a gentle hum in the background.
Hiyori's effortless charm, Kimi and Asami's playful antics, Hirabi and the Senju twins' radiant energy and Toka and Pakira's confidence and wisdom all combined to mesmerize him, making him feel like he was trapped in a dream.
Even the reserved Miss Jonin, with her piercing gaze and elegant demeanour, seemed to radiate an aura of beauty that captivated him. As he watched them devour their meal, Mizuna felt his heart skip a beat, his senses overwhelmed by their sheer loveliness
"Pakira, me and the others will leave this place for a while, I'll task you at protecting the Senjus while we are away. We also bought the houses surrounding us, the ones that live there are also under my command so you can call them If you need support"
"Now that I think about it, do you have any families back at the land of wind?
"Yes lord, both my mother and daughter are living in the Village hidden by the sand as for my husband, he died a year ago"
"I've been thinking about their well-being because Lord Shamon isn't as Magnanimous as Lord Kazekage"
The shinobis at the dining table looked at each other with confusion and worry
"He's been ordering us to slay the villages outside the land of wind for their corpse"
"What!?"
Pakira looked down and continued " Lord Shamon is experimenting with creating human puppets to increase the battle power of our village against the other hidden villages"
"But we can't weaken the land of wind so we raid villages outside and bring the corpse back"
Hiyori and the others cover their mouth with shocked expressions
*clap*
"Alright enough of this"
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way to bring them out of there so you all can be reunited before lord Shamon tries experimenting on them"
The shinobis including Pakira smiled at Mizuna "Thankyou lord"
'I should gather all those who will become talented in the future under me, her daughter Pakura will surely be one of those, but this time instead of being loyal to her village like in the original Naruto, she will be loyal to me like her mother'
'on that note' Mizuna looked at Toka "Lady Toka, will it be possible for you to bring all the Senju to this town?"
The Senjus looked at each other
"I could persuade some of them to live here in this town, but as you know most of the Senju are shinobis stationed across the Land of Fire, I can't get all of them"
Mizuna is tapping his fingers on the wooden table, thinking deeply about how to bring the Senjus under his command while the others stare at him and await his next words
*tak* *tak* *tak* *tak*
"Eldest young lord, why don't you try to enslave Mito Uzumaki? Since the shinobis are under her command"
Mizuna froze looked at Miss Jonin and asked "Why her? What do you mean under her command? Isn't Hiruzen Sarutobi the Hokage?"
'I do plan to enslave her but I don't remember saying it to Miss Jonin'
"Mito Uzumaki is the Jonin commander of Konohagakure ever since lord hashirama's reign"
Mizuna stood up from shock and asked again "She's the what!?"
'So is that why Hirozen managed to become a Hokage in his 20s without any protest because Mito Uzumaki is backing her along with the Senju?'
'and even after all that, he still let the two clans suffer to the point of extermination?'
"She's the Jonin commander lord"
Hiyori held his hand and asked "What's wrong son? "
"*sigh* looks like my trip to Konohagakure will be tougher than I thought"
He sat back down again and closed his eyes while thinking deeply
'capturing a Jonin commander with nine-tails inside her will be tough, I'm sure she will have a lot of Jonin beside her all day round. And if the grumpy old fox decided to spill the bean about me being a Jinjuriki to her once it saw me it would be complicated'
*tak* *tak* *tak*
"Are you planning to capture nine-tails too eldest young lord?"
"yeah but it looks like it will be impossible right now, I can't expose my identity this soon. During this war, I'm sure the Jonins will be reporting day and night at her office and residence. Enslaving the nine tails will also take time, someone might start looking for her while I'm in the process of enslaving her'
*tak* *tak* *tak*
Suddenly Pakira stood up and bowed "My lord, I know where they are keeping the one tail and his Jinjuriki, why don't you capture it first"
Mizuna tapped his hands on the table and said "You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea" while smiling widely
"Thank you Pakira, I have thought of a brilliant plan to capture Mito Uzumaki without exposing myself because of what you said"
"Hm? I'm confused, explain it, little twerp"
"I'll use the land of wind Shinobis"
They all looked at him confused then a sudden realization hit them "Haha not a bad plan" Kimi laughed while Hiyori said "But make sure not to hurt the ordinary villagers" Mizuna looked at him and said, "Don't worry Mother I know what you're thinking"
Mizuna stood up and said "Alright I have decided. Let's go to Konohagakure and report on what we saw at the Land of Rivers. Then let's head to the land of wind and capture the one tails"
Senjus, you will remain here, and the mercenaries will provide protection for you. You can also instruct them to carry out any tasks you require while we are absent.
