After long sleep with my queens/wives, I called a meeting together with my Knights, Generals, and Prime Ministers before the retrieval mission starts. I would need everyone thoughts about the Leaf Village's future action towards me, picking members for the retrieval team, and how to avoid war with the Leaf. I have feeling that the Hokage and council would want my head or call me back for something wrong or say something unwise towards my kingdom. The picking members for the retrieval team would be easy for me then I thought.

To avoid war with a half-died village that is destroying itself and wants power for themselves. That part may be hard, and war may come to my people. I don't want my people to go to war after having peaceful years of peace and happiness. I want to hear the thoughts of my friends, family, and those I trust before making a bold choice in the future.

My Queens and I entered the council chambers to have the meeting on what been happening laity and plan what may come to the people of Camelot. I sat on my throne, having Arturia and Jeanne sat on their thrones on the right, while Tamamo and Semiramis sat on the left by my side. The rest of the roundtable had all the Knights, Generals, and Prime Ministers, starting from left to right and each of has their own rank.

The Saber rank has two people, being Gawain and Lancelot. Sabers are high ranked Knights and trainers to the knights below them. The Archer rank has two people like the Saber rank and is good archers within the Camelot. The first Archer is a young man with brown hair and forest green eyes. He wears a Greek armor, looking like an archer and trainer would wear. His name is Chiron, the Trainer of Heroes and one of my first teachers.

The second Archer is a young woman with long green/yellow hair and had green eyes. Her hair is stretched out long and unkempt and was lacking in the silkiness. She has animal ears and tail like a lion. She wears a comfortable, flexible, and battle-ready dress. The color of the dress was verdant green with cold, black skirt, and had long black hells that reach up close to her hips. Her name is Atalanta, the Chaste Huntress and is one of my wives.

The Lancer rank has three people, being Karna, Diarmuid, and someone else. That someone is a young man blue hair in a ponytail and had red eyes. He wears blue clothing covered with heavy silver armor and had a wolf's head holding a crescent moon amulet. His name is Cu Chulainn, the Child of Light, the Hound of Culann, the Shield of Camelot and one of my good friends. The Lancer rank is second close-ranked to the Saber rank and trainers to other spearmen within Camelot.

The Rider rank had two people, the first being Achilles. The second is a young woman with long purple hair and a purple blindfold over her eyes silently displayed her black and purple outfit that hugged her body tightly – showing off her figure and mini-dress that exposed her luscious legs. Her name is Medusa, the Bewitching Black Serpent and a person that I trust. The Rider rank is the best beast rider and trainers to other riders.

The Caster rank has only one person, being a young woman with long light purple hair and eyes. She wore a dark purple robe that only showed off her tight body and well-developed figure. She dressed in a purple outfit that hugged her chest and butt, while her hands were covered in purple gloves as well. Her name is Medea, the Witch of Betrayal, a person I could trust and one of one my teachers. The Caster rank is a high ranked user over magic and trains many other magical users.

The Berserker rank has only one person, being a giant of a man with black hair, eyes, and tanned skin. He wore dark Greek armor and had giant ace-sword strapped on his back. His name is Heracles, the Berserker of the Mountains and one of the greatest heroes within the west. The Berserker rank is Knight rank that user strength and madness for strength. That rank is still in works before the west could have trainers for that rank.

The Assassin rank has only one person, being my wife Akame. While the Assassin rank has a few in numbers, but the spies or spymasters are needed to be trained by an assassin or rank higher than other before going on missions.

While having Knights by my side, my kingdom has Three Great Generals and are great leaders of their own armies I made together. The first general is one my wives, Esdeath Partas, the Ice Queen, Strongest General, and Grand General. The second general is a young woman with short silver hair and had purple eyes. She wears a black general uniform, had a white cape and her right arm was mechanical. Her name is Najenda, the Second General, and my old boss during my old assassin days from working with her.

The last and third general is a mid-aged man dressed in a royal fashion, appearing as black as a shadow in the night, contrasted with his pale face. He has yellow eyes and long, silk-like white hair. His name is Vlad Tepes III, the Lord Impaler, and Third Genera. He is also the uncle of Elizbeth and many could tell where she got her personality from these days.

While having guards, Knights, and Generals, my kingdom also has a few Prime Ministers and all of them are people I could trust. Run is one of them, like the others, and I can trust him very well. The other Prime Ministers wears a robe woven with the finest fabrics, though he still looks modest. He has dark purple eyes and long white hair, appearing in colors of the rainbow under sunlight. His name is Merlin, the Magus of Flowers, and one of my most trustful teachers/friends.

Other members such as Hassan-I-Sabbah, Jack, Elizabeth and others don't come to meetings like these but would come in to give information and do it at the right time. If didn't show up in meetings, they would be informed and be ready in case they are needed.

After everyone was here and took their seats, we can now start the meeting of what has been going laity and how to deal with. These meetings might take a while, knowing what the Leaf has done to me and everyone knows how much pain I have in my heart for what the Leaf has done to me.

"I called together a meeting on the events that happen laity. The Leaf had come here in hopes to ally themselves with Camelot to save them from their plague, but that has failed for them and their changes on winning the tournament have also failed. And not only that but a dog had not only talked to my Queens in such a low manner. He tried to assassinate me in front of our people but failed. Now we are here to talk about some things that are going to happen for next couple of days," I said, explaining what has happened so far and moving on from that.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement on what has happened so far and know what might happen if things get out of hand with the Leaf. I don't my people to go to war and my family shares that belief like I do.

"The Leaf Village would want their dog back or do something foolish to attack us to get him back," said Merlin, looking over the demands that I want from the Leaf.

"They would do something foolish. It is in their nature to seek power for power sake. If I could, I would have brought my army to the Leaf and impale those fools," said Vlad with a smile on his face on looking forward to impaling the Leaf ninjas.

"That would be foolish on our part. Evening the Leaf needs to get what's coming to them. Our King does not want to bring the people of Camelot into another war," said Run, having the others agreeing with him.

"Agree my friend Run, and we come back that later. For now, we talk about the retrieval team and who will be part of that team," I said, having a few ideas on who to pick.

The members of the retrieval team would need to be ready for anything that throws at them and could handle the Leaf better than most. I have a few in mind and could work out just fine for the retrieval mission.

"The leader of the retrieval team would be General Najenda and hand-picked soldiers of her choosing. Archers, Chiron and Atalanta. And lastly, Rider, Achilles, would be also on the retrieval team has commands and would follow Najenda's orders. I like to avoid fighting with Konoha, but if they become a problem or try anything foolishness. Then you have the all clear to attack them and defend yourself," I said, giving out the retrieval team are and making sure they understand what's is ahead of them.

"Understood my King," Najenda, Chiron, Atalanta, and Achilles replied in union with a small bow from their heads.

Before another word was spoken or ending the meeting, a black colored drover flies into the council chambers and landed on Semiramis' right shoulder, getting all of us attention to look at her. My wise queen has drovers as familiars and proven to be very useful on graining information from our enemies. The drover spoked to my wife and its eyes flashed with energy on what it saw during its mission. This should be fun.

Semiramis sighed and said, "It seems that the Leaf Village is trying something foolish already and seek even more trouble towards their way."

This gotten all of us attention, wounding what the Leaf was doing and what trouble they seek.

"How so?" Merlin asked, stroking his chin with his right hand.

"Konoha has gotten their bad news from the old pervert had told them. Most of them and the Hokage demanded that Ren gives his Kingship to the Uchiha dog or the Hokage's son and he comes back to face judgment for hurting their stupid Uchiha. And that's not the worst part. They also demanded that Ren, our King, should disown his marriage and be remarried to someone from the Leaf to gain all the Camelot's value," said Semiramis, information the council members some troubling news.

Soon the whole room was filled with a menacing KI aura from my Knights, Generals, Prime Ministers, queens/wives, and I from what we just heard.

How dare they? It wasn't bad enough that they banishment me from doing my job as a ninja and called me many things wasn't enough. My banishment is not enough for them and wants what I gain. Now I had enough.

I was going to let the retrieval mission be the last thing we do to the Leaf, but not anymore. Now I want the Leaf to fall and burn for all their sins and corruption. And I already have a plan in thought and could work for everyone's favor.

I raised my right hand, signaling everyone to drop their deadly aura and calm down enough for me to speak my thoughts out. Once everyone was calm down enough and ready to listen to what I have to say.

"I was going to have the retrieval mission be the last thing I did to the Leaf Village, but after we just heard. I have something better in mind," I said, getting everyone to wonder what I have a plan.

"Are we going to war with the Leaf Village?" Vlad asked.

"I think our King would not drag our people into war. And I think he has something better in mind. Right my king?" Merlin replied/asked.

I nodded my head and said, "Quite right my old friend. I won't bring our people to a war for something stupid. I would allow the snake to destroy the village enough for me to plan a surprise for him. I have our spies to set up fails information to the snake's allies and have them attack each other. Once the snake and Leaf are close enough to self-destroyed, I would have the Knights, Generals, and a small group of the army to finish the rest."

Everyone thought careful what I have just said and shared my plan with them. It is a great to plan and could work for everyone in the east and west to be free from the Leaf. Have someone do the damaged first and have his allies turn against each other. While chaos goes around and ends with snake's head is cut off, a small army from the Camelot can end the Leaf once and for all. I won't have to bring my people into a war that doesn't need us and end a village that causes me pain.

"That could work, Ren," said Arturia, having everyone agreeing with the plan to burn a leaf to the ground.

"However, I think we need to keep the House of Beliefs and our allies from the east in the loop about our plan. If we go through with this, we may cause many questions and distrust between our allies. And that could end up badly for us," said Jeanne, having Run and Merlin agreeing with her.

My wife has a made great point into the light. Camelot's allies in the east should be informed on what happens here and what our plan is for the Leaf. Keeping our allies in the dark is something I don't like and would bring it to light with them.

"Agree, Jeanne, while the retrieval team goes on their mission and gets the Senju heritance from the Leaf Village. We will have a meeting with the House of Beliefs and allies of the east to talk about our plan. If our allies agree with the plan on bring down the Leaf and have full support on the matter at hand. Then we would go with our plan. However, if they say no. Then we would leave the snake to have his fun and wait to see what comes next," I said, explaining to everyone what's going to happen.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement and understand what I'm saying. Keeping our allies in the east proves that we are willing to listen to them and ask their support of the matter at hand. I am not a person that would keep my allies or friends of the east in the dark on what I have planned for the Leaf.

However, I could not help myself with a sigh and lowered my head, having my right hand on my forehand and rubbed it. I am troubled by what's been going on and get everyone attention to look at me in wonder.

"My King is everything alright?" Gawain asked, speaking out for everyone.

I shook my head and said, "No my friend, I'm not fine. The Leaf can't leave me alone or stop gaining power for power sake. After leaving, they still want to cause harm towards me and take away my happiness."

Gawain and everyone else understands why I am trouble. They all know from me that the Leaf Village has caused me harm and took some of my happiness away during my childhood. I have pushed and burn my past behind me, moving forward towards a new life to be at peace.

"My King, I and everyone else understand what you have been through. We stand by your side, not as your loyal followers, but has your family to end the Leaf's corruption," said Gawain with a smile on his face and having everyone else agreeing with him.

I could not myself to smile, knowing that I have a great life and a family that would stand my side. I'm never alone and the corruption in the east would end with my family by my side.

"Thank you, all of you. With choosing members for retrieval team and planning for another meeting is done. This meeting would resume after retrieval team comes back from the east and talk with our allies from the east in the House of Belief about the matter at hand," I said, making sure everyone understands and what would come next.

"As you wish my King," Everyone replied in the union, knowing what's to come and be ready.

I nodded my head in thanks and have the meeting finished. Everyone got up and left the council chambers, going on the mission or something they do. My queens/wives and I left the council chambers to gather up our allies in the east for a meeting in the House of Belief. I sometimes wish this hasn't come to this, but the Leaf has forced my hand. And now, I must be ready for war to make sure war never comes to my people.

Third POV

While King Ren and his queens/wives get the meeting with their allies form the east gather up for the House of Belief meeting. Each member of the Knights of the Roundtable to the Three Generals and Prime Ministers had their own thoughts to think over of what's been happening so far.

To have a village demanding something so low to the person they would follow, and call king was low. It was like that the village had control over the kingdom and could demand anything they want, but they are wrong. And now the king would start the fire of judgment and burn the corruption down.

"I think that our king is ready to face his past and finally destroyed the village where it stands," said Vlad, walking with his fellow generals on the matter at hand.

"Indeed, but Ren doesn't want to bring the people of Camelot into a war or see Konoha again. Now they force his hand and war would come to them," said Najenda, agreeing on the general and making a good point.

Esdeath nodded her head in agreement and said, "True, but House of Belief and the allies from the east can make that statement to go to war. For now, we wait."

"Indeed, but for now, I must gather up my soldiers for the retrieval mission and wait for the knights to arrive," said Najenda, leaving her fellow generals to themselves.

Vlad agreed with the other general and thought on gathering up his army, in case things do go their way to destroyed Konoha. He took his leave and had the Ice Queen thinking to herself in her own thoughts about the Leaf Village. She knows her husband very well and knows the village has caused pain to him.

Like Semiramis, Esdeath would kill all of those that cause harm towards her husband. However, like the wise queen, she knows that her husband doesn't like to see his wives being quick to anger. She sighed to herself, knowing very well that the Leaf would get what's coming to them soon enough. She would leave it alone, for now, and gather up her army to be ready to start the fire.

While the Three Great Generals have their thoughts be shared among themselves and leave to gather up their armies to start the fire to end the corruption. The Knights of the Roundtable have their own talk on the matter at hands and what could come. Some were talking with their fellow knights or someone they care about very much.

Gawain and Lancelot were talking between each other and with their wives on the matter at hand. The Knight of the Sun's wife was the student of Tsunade Senju and foster sister of Ren Senju, Shizune. She is a fair-skinned woman of average height and slender build with onyx eyes and jet-black hair; her hair is straight and shoulder-length with bangs that cover her ears and frame her face. She wore a long bluish-black kimono with white trimmings, held closed by a white obi, and open-toed sandals with low heels.

Gawain and Shizune have known each other for a long time. They have gone at on many dates, but still, haven't be wedded. It's coming, but they wanted to wait for a little while and their King has given them his blessings for that day to come.

The Knight of Lake's wife was a former member of the Akatsuki and a good friend to the rulers of Camelot, Konan. She had blue hair, amber eyes with ultramarine eyeshadow and a labret piercing. She has a gentle face and her hair was styled with a bun on the side with a paper flower in it. She wore a black leather hooded coat and white dress shoes. Underneath her coat, she wore a dark blue shirt and black pants. On the black on her coat had a kanji, Tasogare (Dusk).

Now, most are thinking about how a former member of the Akatsuki is with Camelot and married to one of the Knights. Well, a good story to tell and it takes back a few years ago in Sand Village. The Akatsuki had launched a war on the Sand and Camelot was quick to add their allies in their need of help. The battle had left behind a mark on the landscape and it will always be remembered as a great war that would never be forgotten.

At mid-end of the Sand-Akatsuki war, King Ren and Lancelot travel in the Rain Village to find out who was the true leader of the Akatsuki. The King fought Pein in all out-death match, while Black Knight met the Angel.

After Ren won the deathmatch and had Pein to see his wrong ways. He gave the King of Camelot great information and asked to protect Konan. The King agreed and had his friend to take her to a safe place until the war was over. During that time, the Knight and Angel fallen love throughout the war and the King give the two his blessings on their wedding day. Now that out of way, let's move back to the story.

"Our King is starting to burn his past away," said Lancelot, walking beside Konan and having her walking beside him.

"True, but that would happen if the House of Belief agrees with our King's plan. Our allies must know, and we wait for what they have to say," said Gawain, agreeing with his friend.

While the two knights were talking, Shizune and Konan wonder what the House of Beliefs would think of the king's plan. When starting Camelot, Ren and his Queens had started government house that overlooks many things and keeps their allies in the loop. If they agree with the king, then war against the Leaf could come. But if they say no, then they would leave it at that.

Gawain sighed and said, "I must go and make sure no more Leaf ninjas are in the west. While having Hassan and his spy network, I must keep an eye and would report back to our rulers."

"Agree, Sir Gawain. I would also do the same and check in with all the ports," said Lancelot, agreeing with his fellow knight and know to be on guard if war comes.

"Do you think the Leaf would launch an attack on Camelot?" Konan asked.

"I hope they don't my dear angel," Lancelot replied, causing Konan to blush in light pink.

"Let's hope. And Gawain, I'm going to work late tonight with Lady Tsunade," said Shizune.

Gawain nodded his head and understand his wife's work. Shizune smiled and left the group for the hospital.

"In speak working late, Lady Esdeath wants me to make sure her spies in the east are ready in case things turn to what our King's is planning," said Konan with a bowed from her head.

Lancelot agreed and know that the Ice Queen would get her army together before things start. He allowed his wife to leave and ahead to fo some training, leaving his fellow knight alone in his thoughts.

Gawain sighed and understand why the king is worn out from the trouble that the Leaf is being towards Camelot. He knows that he would need to get ready and have guards around the west ready in case the Leaf try to attack them. The west must take some careful steps before launching their attack and keep any ninjas out of west before that happens. With his thoughts made up, the White Knight left the hallway and made his way towards the guards to be ready.

As the knight left, a shadow figure was watching the whole thing and hums in his own thoughts. Hassan had been watching both the generals and knights, understanding and know that he must gather up the spy neck work in case things go their way. Everyone knows that Leaf ninja is very tricky and would pull any tricks in the book to get what they want. So, he and his group must be ready for anything.
