章 140: Alliances Formed
"I can lead the greatest corps of the army! We're gonna call it the....fighting battalion, it sounds good." Mū wanted to prove his worth to Kentaro.
"You're saying that you will lead the ten thousand man fighting battalion? This battalion will be dispatched in the forefront of every battle, little or big." Mū was sure of it.
"I'm telling you, I want to show you what I'm worth. All those years of training, all those years of suffering, I need to show you that all of this was not in vain." Kentaro looked quietly at Mū.
It was true that Mū went through a lot of suffering in his training. He strengthened his body under the augmented gravity, he learned Kenjutsu and was capable of wielding two blades at the same time, he even mastered the particle style to a certain degree.
"So be it then, Mū, you will lead the fighting battalion. The Kamizuru, Haru, Chinoike and Fujimoto clan will be part of it too. Don't disappoint me, this is not a game, remember that." Kentaro pointed his finger at Mū, the atmosphere became a little bit heavy.
"I know, I will not disappoint you." Mū nodded his head and left Kentaro's office. During the night, he had prepared the army's setting.
"Three battalions without counting the healing posts of the Sara clan. It sounds good to me, we have just enough reinforcements and money for a prolonged war." Kentaro stood up and went to his balcony, he looked at the village.
"The Raikage will come today, hopefully he'll accept joining our side in the war." Kentaro's eyes fell on the bridges' carvings.
When he looked at the carving about him using the astral creation, he could only think about Black Zetsu.
'How the fuck did you escape?....' Kentaro had planned to visit the place where he had been sealed when he had the time. He entered back inside of his office and sat down.
The hours passed and Kentaro took care of the paper work. He was still a bit wounded from the fight against Hashirama, but nothing too serious.
"BOOM." Kentaro's door slammed open, he looked at who it could be. A little boy with a particularly big nose walked to his desk and stopped when he was in front.
"Lord Tsuchikage, I heard from master Mū that he was going to be the captain of the fighting....battation." Kentaro couldn't help but smile.
"Battation? Onoki, you must first say it right before anything else. Anyways, how the hell did you come upstairs so easily?" there were concealed Anbu and even guards at the reception hall.
"Since I'm under master Mū's tutelage and he is under yours, it's logical that they let me up without any troubles. We share bonds, Lord Tsuchikage. You areeeee.....my grandmaster?"
Kentaro stood up and placed his hands on Onoki's little back and walked him to his office's door.
"Listen boy, I don't know why you came, but I don't have all the time in the world. So go train, do something productive and become stronger." Kentaro opened his door and very gently pushed Onoki outside.
"I'm not a boy! I'm four years old, I'm old enough to graduate from the academy." Kentaro scratched his head.
"You are old enough to INTEGRATE the academy. Come on, go." Kentaro motioned Onoki to leave, he left with a very angry expression.
"Get out of my way!" while Kentaro was closing his door, he heard Onoki yell this at somebody. Kentaro quickly opened his door and got out of his office to see against who he had yelled.
"You better apologize to Lord Raikage before I knock your ass out!" B lifted Onoki up from the collar, he didn't seem very happy.
"B! Let the boy down, we aren't here to cause troubles. We are here to discuss with Lord Tsuchikage about very important matters." B dropped Onoki down and gave him a look.
"Lord Raikage, it's good to see you. I hope you'll forgive the little Onoki, he's filled with motivation which makes him say and do stupid things." Kentaro hurriedly tried to calm things down.
"There is nothing to forgive, he hasn't done anything wrong. I'm happy to see you doing well, the news about your fight against those two has traveled in all the countries." Kentaro shook Ay's hand, he led him to his office.
Ay sat down and made himself comfortable. As for B, he was serious and tense. He stood behind Ay like a bodyguard should.
"Lord Raikage, tea? Fruits? Do you want something?" Kentaro was trying to make them feel at ease, he wanted to show his goodwill.
Ay shook his head and took his Raikage hat off, he gently placed it on the desk. He looked at Kentaro and waited for him to talk.
"War is coming, Lord Raikage. Konoha has pushed its luck far enough, it's time to show them that they are not as powerful as they think they are." Kentaro paused and resumed.
"If Iwa gets crushed, Kumo shall come next. Influential clans of Konoha have enmity with your noble clans. I will make sure to give you what you want Lord Raikage. Do you want riches? Konoha's land? The....Byakugan?"
"Haha, you know how to convince people. It's true that they have enmity against us, the Senko clan has had a lot of troubles with the Hyuga clan. As for my and B's clan, the Kuro clan, we had our share fair of troubles with this damned Sarutobi clan." Ay paused and resumed.
"Joining Iwa in the war will strengthen our ties for the future generations to come, we'll take care of Konoha from the the north. Let me tell you, Lord Tsuchikage. A couple of Byakugan should be enough. Anyw-" the door opened, distracting Ay on what he was about to say.
The shinobi had an apologetic expression on his face and slightly bowed his head to Ay before hurriedly walking next to Kentaro, he whispered something in his ears and quickly left the office.
"We have news, Lord Raikage. Those desert beggars have publicly announced their alliance with Konoha, they will receive parts of Konoha's land and even some of our fertile lands in case of victory. Lord Raikage, will we let them trample upon our respective nations?"
"We will not! If so, Kumo will officiallize it too. I've always had five thousand shinobi prepared for action, it seems like they will come in handy. Which front shall we take care of?" Ay knew that Kentaro was the strongest, that's why he asked him.
"I have a thousand shinobi deployed near The Land of Wind and I've prepared a total of ten thousand shinobi to fight on the main battlefield." Ay was curious to know what the main battlefield was.
"The main battlefield you say? Where will that be? Ten thousand shinobi is a lot, this place will be a real bloodbath."
"The Land of Grass, the whole land will be our battlefield. Tomorrow, the ten thousand shinobi have for order to storm through the land and travel to The Land of Fire. As for my forces who are near the Land of Wind, I shall see what happens there before anything else."
Kentaro noticed that Ay wanted to say something, he knew about what it was. Kentaro quickly talked before Ay could.
"Your five thousand shinobi? You must travel to the Land of Fire. For this, you must go through The Land of Frost and The Land of Hot Water. Expect prepared Konoha forces that will try to halt your advance since it will take a few days for your army to get there." Ay was rubbing his chin.
"Lord Tsuchikage, this war....it will be a war for dominance. The winners will have complete control over the shinobi world, let's just hope that those of Kiri won't interfere in this war." Ay stood up and shook Kentaro's hand. He knew everything that had to be known, Ay left together with B.
"A war for dominance...indeed."
