Chapter 4: Peace Treaties
Since the peace treaties have arrive to Konoha from: Kiri, Kumo and Suna. The Hokage and the Fire Daimyo have a few meetings because since the use of the Flying Thunder God or (Hiraishin) as some call it was developed by Minato and use it against Iwa army. The other Great Elemental Nations have to think in a form to be in the good side of the Yondaime Hokage by peace because if he teaches that specific jutsu to a minor army of maybe 10-20 they can wipe an entire Nation within just seconds. And that is something that the other Kages don't want that, because a Kage protects his/her Nation with his/her live and in that way their precious people can have other day to live.
Minato and the Fire Daimyo have read very carefully the treaties and came with some arrangements because what they decide to do can affect the lives of many people outside and inside an Elemental Nation like if in the war time one shinobi or kunoichi kill a clan head or diplomatic dignitary that Country or Nation can ask for some sort of payment by such act like to take in retaliation the live of that shinobi/kunoichi and that can weaken a nation and make other to became more strength and such things was what Minato and the Fire Daimyo wanted to prevent at all cost. Especially if someone they care is in that kind of problem because the Daimyo have one of his elder son as diplomatic until he retires and he takes the roll of the Fire Daimyo and Minato some shinobi and kunoichi that have take the kill of some shinobi with great strength and prowess like clan heads.
Treaty from Suna
The treaty from Suna said: that they will ceasefire in exchange of a background of water because they have a terrible drought in rain during the last 6 months and they are almost in a 25% in their water deposits and medical plants to treat their injured shinobi. The Fire Daimyo accepted this with Minato because with this they can have a possibility to make an alliance with Suna and with the lost of Uzushiogakure no Sato during the Second Shinobi World War and having some minor as ally they need at least one big ally for the future of the Fire Nation.
Because since they have won the Third Shinobi World War and with the display of skill and power of his Village this will put a target in their backs in case that war develop in the future. Even Minato not have to be a Nara to see the whole picture than just the smaller ones that complete it. With the almost Kyubi incident and that masked man with the sharingan he will have to take care of his son and be there with him and help him to become strong, but not only to become strong, to be strong to protect his precious people like when he fight with the masked man. He can see clouds of darkness in the horizon but he can see a spark of light and that light is his son and he will help his son to clear those clouds and the light to be brighter than any light that he can imagine.
''Mantis can you please tell Tsunade that I need her please'' The Anbu with the Mantis mask hear the orders from the Yondaime and goes to the Hospital to tell Tsunade that she is needed in the Hokage Tower. ''Tsunade-sama the Hokage wants you in the Hokage Tower for an important issue.'' Tsunade heard this and tell the Anbu that she will be in 5 minutes. The Anbu goes to tell this to the Hokage. Five minutes pass. ''Did you need me Lord Fourth.'' Ask Tsunade. ''Yes we have receive a peace treaty from Suna and one of the conditions is that they need medical plants and herbs to develop some medicine and antidotes for their injure Shinobi and since you are our Head in the Medic Division I need you to make a list of some herbs and plants that are in storage in the Hospital and in our greenhouses that are for that purpose to be send to Suna to start the process of peace and finally sign the peace treaty with them.'' Minato said. ''I will do as you request Lord Fourth.'' ''Know I will start the creation of at least 5 storage seals that can store a big amount of purify water and able to preserve intact without the possibility of be corroded by bacteria.'' Minato thought create a shadow clone to continue with the work and go to a room that he have customize to be his seal lab where he continue to practice with his seal abilities and not let them deteriorate. He creates 5 more shadow clones and starts with the development of the scrolls because this will take like a complete day to create them because these are not simple storage seal scroll that take like 5 minutes of his time because of his level of mastery in fuin. With the clones doing this he go to eat some ramen at Ichiraku. He enters to the ramen stand.
''Hokage-sama is good to see you around. What ramen flavor will you want to be prepared.'' Teuchi asks. ''I will want a chicken ramen please Teuchi'' Minato said. Teuchi start to prepare the food and Minato see something that he has not seen in other time that eats at Ichiraku. ''Who is your little helper there Teuchi? I have not seen her around when I eat here.'' Minato said. ''It seems that nothing can escape in the eyes of a good trained shinobi. She is my daughter Ayame she has 4 years and she ask me if she can be my little helper today and since she is my little princess I can't said no to that request from her because it seems that she want to learn how to make ramen when she grow-up.'' Teuchi answers. ''Well if she wants to make this delicious food she have to learn specially from you because your ramen is so good to the taste.'' Minato said. Ayame hear this. ''Daddy ramen is so good and the form that he makes happy our clients that is what I really want to learn and to make daddy happy with my ramen.'' Ayame said to Minato. ''It seems that you have get a dedicate student Teuchi.'' Minato said. ''I will not ask other think. Here is your order Hokage-sama.'' Minato eats his ramen and he and Teuchi talk about how good life has been for the two of them. Minato finish and pays for the food and return to the Hokage tower and dispel the clone that is doing the paperwork in the Hokage office room.
Treaty from Kiri
The treaty from Kiri said: that they want a sum of 10,000 pieces of wood to be able to repair and make new boats since some are able to repair and other were destroy and they need new ones to continue with their sea form of live. But what impress more to Minato is that the Yondaime Mizukage said that they can be able to keep the Sanbi as a form of good will between the two villages because in an adjacent scroll he explains why he is doing this.
Adjacent scroll.
Dear Yondaime Hokage Minato-dono
This is your counterpart in Kirigakure no Sato the Yondaime Mizukage Yagura you must be thinking why I am letting you to be able to keep the Sanbi. Since you must know our Sandaime Mizukage was a power hungry and in a form a tyrant when he was in the power and when I read a journal of him. I learn of his plan to capture a shinobi/kunoichi from your village and make him/her a jinchuriki with a seal that will trigger near the village to let the Sanbi to do havoc into your village and destroy it. Since that plan blow in the face of my predecessor by been you able to change the seal that keep at bay the Sanbi inside the jinchuriki I want you to keep the Sanbi as a form of compensation and good will between our villages. And with that we can bring peace.
End of scroll
''Chameleon can you inform Rin and Kushina that I need them please.'' The Anbu with the chameleon mask hear the Yondaime and goes to tell to Rin and Kushina for his luck both where inside the Hokage tower playing with Naruto and Kyo. ''Lady Kushina your husband ask for you in his office and you to Rin-san'' the Anbu tell them this. ''We are going know.'' Kushina takes Naruto and Kyo follows them. And Rin is with them. ''Did you need us Honey/Hokage-sama.'' Both women ask when they enter the Hokage office room. ''Yes is because the treaty that was send by Kiri has something that has to be with the status of Rin and your previous status Kushina.'' Minato said and pass the scroll to read it by both women.
Inside the biju mindscape Kurama, Kyo and Isobu preventing that their host be present.
''Dad is my imagination or I am sensing one of my uncles/aunts in here.'' Kyo said. ''Is not your imagination Kyo and I have detected which one of your uncles is. Is Sanbi-kun or to be more precise is Isobu-kun'' Kurama said. ''Its uncle Isobu mom have tell me that he's body form is of a turtle is that right Dad'' Kyo said. ''Yes that's right son let's see if we can let him join the conversation.'' Kurama said.
Kurama is making a connection between his son, brother and him.
''Isobu-kun it have been like 100 years with no seeing you brother.'' Kurama said. ''When I detected two presences similar like me I believe that it was my imagination. And one presence is of one tail and the other nine tails but you and Shukaku together that is a bad combination if may I said so.'' Isobu said. ''The other presence is not Shukaku but you are right that presence has one tail.'' Kyo is laughing quietly of this and hide in one of his father paws because his uncle Isobu mistakes him with uncle Shukaku at this Sanbi wide his eyes. ''So Kyuumi and you tie the knot that is a great event hearing it from you. What is the name of your son/daughter.'' Isobu ask until this moment Kyo has been mute because want to see who will his uncle react of this. ''My name is Kyo, uncle Isobu.'' At this Isobu eyes became big like plates. ''It is a good name the one that your kit has Kurama.'' Kurama nods because of this. ''But how is that I can sense a bit different your kit and where is Kyuumi brother I want to congratulate her.'' Isobu said. ''Well is that my kit is not seal, and Kyuumi and I we are seal and she is sleeping and I don't want to put her in her bad side.'' Isobu chuckle a bit because of this and put angry Kurama. ''What?'' Kurama ask bit anger. ''You the most powerful creature alive been control by the oppose sex is funny she have you by the pinky.'' Isobu said. ''When you find the love of your live you will learn why not put her in her bad side.'' Kurama said. ''Yeah whatever you say brother.'' Isobu said.
With this they talk a bit about how is that they, came seal and other events and in a pause Isobu plays with Kyo. And Isobu tells them that Rin is a good host and that she acknowledges him and they have start a partnership.
End mindscape
At this moment Kushina and Rin finish reading the adjacent scroll.
''It seems that he want peace and amends the actions of the Sandaime Mizukage by making me a jinchuriki.'' Rin said. ''The good thing is that he sees the action of his predecessor was grown and with the plan of releasing the Sanbi in the village literally blow in his face and that by sealing in other nation shinobi/kunoichi they loss one asset of them.'' Kushina said. ''What surprise me he is admitting openly that because of that plan they loss one of their biju and don't want to battle for the return of the Sanbi.'' Minato said. ''You can't predict how a person is able to admit when there are grown or admit failure because that was what happened when they try that double-edge attack 2 years ago.'' Rin said.
Flashback no Jutsu 2 years
''Thanks for saving me Kakashi but I must ask you to kill me now because I heard their plan they seal inside me the Sanbi with a not so stable seal with a trigger seal that will activate when we are near the village to release the Sanbi and bring havoc to our village and nation.'' Rin said. ''No there must be other way to prevent what you are asking me to do. If we can get you to the borderline of Mizu no Kuni and Hi no Kuni there is the possibility of contacting sensei and he will be able to do something.'' Kakashi said. Kakashi do the Summoning Justu a small dog appears. ''Pakkun I need you to go and find sensei and tell him that we need him in the borderline of Mizu no Kuni and Hi no Kuni and that is a matter of life and dead.'' Kakashi said. ''Understood I will complete this mission Kakashi.'' Pakkun said and start running using the water walking technique to get to his destination. ''Why do you do that we are like 10 Km in Kiri territory near the small land islands and then we have to travel like 25-30 Km to our borderline.'' Rin said. ''Because I make a promise to Obito that I will protect you and there is one more thing because I love you Rin and I will die protecting you first than let what Kiri do to you affect our village.'' Kakashi said and kiss Rin in the lips and Rin wide her eyes and blush a bit by what Kakashi do. Kakashi breaks the kiss. ''You must have to have some hope to the possibility that sensei can modify the seal and we will survive this together my love. But now we have to defend from the Kiri shinobi that are hunting us to try to make us get more quick to our village.'' Kakashi said.
They fight the enemy shinobi and gain time that is of vital importance because since they are not inside Hi no Kuni the seal seems to be stable for the moment preventing that the Sanbi take control of Rin. They arrive to land that is near Hi no Kuni and make a camp. Summoning Jutsu summon the rest of his dog hound gave orders to stable a perimeter Rin falls sleep from the exhaustion of the previous battle.
Mindscape Rin and Isobu (Sanbi)
Because of the form of how Rin is a loving person and care for the nature the mindscape that is in her mind is a forest with a lake in the center that is cover by a fence like in the Forest of Death inside is the Sanbi
''It's good to see my new host came to give me a visit this place is better that dam scroll in which I was seal.'' The Sanbi said with a calm voice opposite Ichibi and Kyubi. ''Where are I am the last that I remember is helping making a camp and fall sleep. I am dead.'' Rin said. ''No you are not dead we are inside your mind in where I am seal.'' The Sanbi said. ''That means that you are the Sanbi''. Rin said. ''You are correct little one. You must be thinking that because I am a biju and since you came here I will like try to attack you.'' The Sanbi said and Rin nods. ''Well that will be the case with two of my brothers the Ichibi and the Kyubi because they don't like tolerate to be seal inside a human. How will Kyubi say: a puny bag of flesh and bones is not worthy of the powers of the nine tailed fox that I am. And how Ichibi say: I will destroy and kill you and bath with your blood.
At this Kyubi and Ichibi sneezes inside Kushina and Karura respectively.
Ichibi have always have been a bit of a bloodlust but with time maybe he have change because I have not seen them respectively in more less than 100 years since Shodaime Hokage reunited us and disperse us to the rest of the elemental nations as a form of power balance. Me and my brothers and sisters we have different perspectives of how to see the world and the people that live in it. This must put a different image of how we live. We only attack to defend us.'' Sanbi said. This make Rin see that the biju no were monsters without mind that they feel like them. ''But the seal is unstable stable and you will be free so soon.'' Rin said. ''That can be true but if in your village there is a real seal master he/she can release/modify this seal or create other with the power to suppress a biju of my power.'' Sanbi said.
''It surprise me that you want to be still seal/jail/confine inside of me why is that.'' Rin ask putting her hands near her chest. ''Well this place is more pleasurable than in a scroll that was like been in a sort of limbo with nothing to spend the time and this place is like a paradise except for the fence that is the seal that keep me out of the forest.'' Sanbi answers. ''Well if this is my mindscape and you want to be free how I do that.'' Rin said and ask. ''Well just imagine the form of the seal and it will materialize into his new form.'' Answer Sanbi. ''Let's do a try.'' Rin focus in the new form of the seal and she sees 5 forms that maybe will be pleasant to the Sanbi. ''I have 5 forms that maybe you like''. Rin said. ''Well let's see them.'' Sanbi said a bit anxious because even if he has been inside her a couple of days the fence is something that he doesn't like of been in prison. The five forms materialize in front of the Sanbi one is a bracelet with the word seal scribe in it, a headband with a metal plate with the word seal, a necklace with a blue ocean crystal in the inside the word seal, a ring and bun.
''Well this a what I can imagine to be the new form of the seal tell me which one do you like more and that will be the new form of the seal that will be in place than the fence that limit your moment inside here.'' Rin said. ''You are letting me choose why.'' Sanbi ask overwhelm. ''Because if we are going to be friends or partners I believe that by letting you choose will make a good start in our friendship and I don't want to be like other jinchuriki that only take the power of their biju at force I want that you let me use it when you believe that I am ready to use it. Because not all humans are equal and you have showed me that you and your brothers and sisters are not like I believe that are creatures without mind that only attack by pure instinct. And I acknowledge your presence and that you can be a great asset to me and my village not like how Kiri wants to use you.'' Rin answer. This have touch Sanbi hearth to a, extend that only one man have do previously his father and creator the Rikudo Sennin. ''Well two of this seals I think that will go away and are the ring and the bun. But the other three they have a thumbs up because they can go with my personality.'' Sanbi said. With that the ring and the bun dematerialize from his presence courtesy by Rin. ''Well let me view with more critic eyes the remaining seals.'' Sanbi said. Isobu is viewing the seals and appears that he has taken an election which will be. ''I will like that the form of the seal be the necklace with the crystal in the same color as you make it for preview.'' Sanbi said. Rin focus in the change of the seal and now is the necklace in the neck of the Sanbi.
''Sanbi can I ask you a question.'' Rin said. ''Yes you can.'' Sanbi said. Rin is trying to formulate how to say her question without some fear or disrespect to the Sanbi. ''Uh oh how can I say this? There is by any change that I can call you by other name because speaking/calling you by the number of tails that you have it doesn't fit well if we are going to be friends/partners.'' Rin said. ''This human is a definitely is a keeper because no human have ever try to ask for our name in the past they only scream is the, 'the number of tail(s)' run for your live. That they see from us when we defend and attack from that attack.'' Sanbi thought. ''Well I think that can be arrange Rin-san my name is Isobu that was the name that my father and creator have me.'' Sanbi said. ''Is a good name the one you have but go have you your name and was your creator.'' Rin said and ask. ''First we try then we thrust.'' Isobu said Rin pouted by this but understand why he said that. ''So Isobu how can I return to my body because we have pass to many time with our conversation.'' Rin said. ''Time here pass different than in the outside what here is live minutes here are seconds outside and hours are minutes because the mind is a complex think it's like when you 'meditate or dream a vivid dream' and you mind space out when you end the 'meditation or dream' you sense that during that time like it slow down during the 'meditation or dream' pass more time that what rely have pass was not so much''. Isobu said. ''I think that I get it. But I need to get to my body to not scare my friend/boyfriend in 'progress'.'' Rin said. ''Since this was an involuntary connection I will help you.'' Isobu said. With this Isobu take air into his lungs and then release the air blowing Rin from her mindscape.
End mindscape
''Well finally you recover conscience Rin I was worry because you fall down I believe that maybe the biju was trying to take control from you or that you was so exhausted by the last battle.'' ''I hope the last.'' Kakashi thought. Kakashi said. ''Well I was exhausted and during the time of me been unconscious met the place that keep the Sanbi in jail'' Rin said. With this Kakashi was on the point of freaking out. ''You must try to be cautious about the Sanbi can try to take control from your body and I don't want to lose you.'' Kakashi said. ''We talk about something of minor importance but he is not like the old stories said that they are mindless maybe I can be came his friend.'' Rin said. ''I will give the benefit of the doubt because of how I know you Rin'' Kakashi said.
Minato arrive the next day. Starts inspection the seal he is a bit overwhelm because of the for the seal is unstable stable and the trigger seal thanks that they not have the change to arrive like 50 meters from the village or will have active and possibly kill Rin by the stress of the biju escape from her body. First destroy the trigger seal to prevent of been activated by an external source. Second destroy the unstable seal and apply a Double Tetragram Seal with a space in the seal to let the chakra of the Sanbi mix with Rin own chakra to let the possibility of becoming a complete jinchuriki with the control of the biju. But what surprise Minato is that when he destroys the seal the Sanbi didn't try to escape or take control of the body of Rin. These give Minato the idea that Rin maybe have became friend of the Sanbi and he/she (because he doesn't not Sanbi real gender) doesn't want to kill her. ''This key I will gave it to Rin when she starts to train with Sanbi Chakra.'' Minato thought.
After this Rin enter her mindscape and see that all is the same expect for that the minuscule exception that inside the crystal was something that seems like a lock with a paper attach with the work seal. That was the only difference from the first visit that she have visit Isobu.
End of Flashback
''It is good that he accept that double-edge plan fail and don't want to do a political battle for the return of Sanbi but I will never will return him to them because they only use him as weapon and he and I have became friends and I am at the point in be a true jinchuriki.'' Rin said. ''It's good to heard that Rin you are way ahead from where I was with the Kyubi because I try but his ego and pride not let him accept that I didn't try to steal his power for my own purposes. I hope that Naruto can chance him more than I try.'' Kushina said. ''If that is all, I will retire because today I will train to control Sanbi chakra sensei.'' Rin said. ''One moment Rin in this scroll is the key that I make to give you control over the seal for the moment when you try to control Sanbi chakra.'' Minato said. Minato then explains the function of the key and how to use the key.
''It seem that when she try contact me when I was inside your mother she was saying the TRUE maybe you can be more successful little one.'' Kurama thought.
A few minutes later Kushina withdraw from the office leaving Naruto with his Father to have some moments with him. Naruto is playing with his furry friend sucking the tail of friend said. Which Minato thing is funny? But for Kyo is a bit awkward because it make him see a bit silly to be caught in such moment especially by his father which is laughing to almost die if it is possible.
Treaty from Kumo
The treaty from Kumo said: they want 5,000 pieces wood to repair and build new ships, some metal available in Hi no Kuni, and the possibility of start a trading port.
''Well the trading port will have to wait until the peace is sign because knowing how Kumo is they maybe use the trading port as a cover to things not as peaceful as they claim.'' Minato said to himself.
Minato withdraw from his office with Naruto and Kyo and they go to the, sawmill to tell the lumberjacks of the order of wood needed for Kumo and Kiri and the reasons from this.
With this he finish the work of the day and goes to visit Fugaku in the Uchiha compound he arrives near 6:30–7:00 noon at the compound doors. He ask to the clan member that is doing guard duty this day if Fugaku is home and that if he can have a friendly talk with him. With this the guard company Minato and Naruto to the Main House of the Uchiha compound he enters the house and is welcome by Fugaku how is taking care of Sasuke. The fathers let their sons to start to become friends and they play with some blocks and with Naruto furry friend, will they have some grown up talk.
Minato and Fugaku talk about that they expect that their sons will be in the future good friends and teammates that support and protect each one back as they have done this with Hiashi and Hizashi and themselves in the past, dreams about what they may expect of them like been the rookie of the year, if they will be in the same team, how will be chunin first, if they will enter in Anbu corps, when they finish this they see that they are behaving like angels. Minato takes Naruto when he is going out Mikoto and young Itachi see them and Itachi says that he will be a great shinobi when he start the academy in a few months because he is 6 the age to enter the academy and that his father is trading him to.
Minato arrives to the Hokage Mansion and they are receive by Kushina with the dinner in the table for Minato and Kushina and for Naruto good meal of fruit porridge and then a small session of breast milk to make him grow up strong to become a great handsome ninja like his father and maybe a Hokage in the future that why Kushina is making him eat a well and balance meal. They give love and care to their son live newly family will do because he will have a great and challenging future ahead and with his father and mother he will be do great and good things. Because he is the sum of both: his father a good and strong leader that care for his friends and his mother a strong and fierce but loving person.
