The Exile

I don't own Naruto or its characters, I do own my OC characters thought, but if you want to use Amon, or anyone else just ask and you can.

Chapter 4: The day of meeting

The sun was alighting starting to rise into the skies above the town of Takigakure, the bright colors of the raising sun shined all around the massive old tree near the village giving everyone awake a grand view to observe. Among those who were already awake, was one Amonm who was very impressed himself with the sight. He had been up since very early that morning, and was glad for this reward of waking up before the sun rose. Then again he had no choice on the issue, he had a lot of work all of the time. His life had change more then a little bit over the past three weeks.

He had come in expecting to just help the shinobi of the waterfall to improve their own skills. No, that is not what they wanted, at all. They wanted him to be a waterfall shinobi himself, which he really didn't have a problem with and knew would come with his decision. That was not it, because of his own skill, they wanted him to lead the village. They figured, the only way they could work their way back into their proper place was to have a stronger leader, and they wanted him to be it. He was by their agreement, the most powerful shinobi in the village by far, and he had shown that in the battle against the rock. It took a whole day of arguing and none stop begging for them to get him, to make their village his. Amon, looked at his arm, and at the fancy blue robe which showed his prestige and position in the village, and the he could also see the waterfall symbol on the sheath of his sword. He was a Taki shinobi, their was no doubt about that now.

That did not make his life any easier either, no, he had to go about setting up different aspects of the village, and had to do it based on what he thought would make the village the strongest. Over the last three weeks part of his training was to train the top 10 shinobi of Takikagure in higher level skills. That work was really quiet easy compared to the other work he had to get done, and had finished already. He had to review the academy, and went over the types of lessons that the youngsters of the village where thought. He was able to change it a bit, remembering lesson he had learned in Konoha, and other ideas he had for a long time. The second plan for the 10 shinobi were also part of this plan for growth. The 10 shinobi he personally trained would be the ones to train groups of themselves. So 10 would turn into 30, and that number would later increase greatly too. The only really easy part of the job was the fact, he did not have much mission paper work to go though, because of the general lack of missions the shinobi of the village were offered, which also meant that they did not bring in as much money as villages like Konoha. That meant he had to figure out the budget of the village as well, something which was far more challenging the then other parts of his job. Still, the work kept him, busy, and active, which was well worth it.

"Lord Amon, we have a letter for you," Tenchi said snapping Amon out of his train of thought.

"Tenchi, stop the lord stuff, this was your job last remember," Amon replied before getting the letter.

Amon quickly read over the letter and handed it back to Tenchi, "Well, now, it seems that the leaf is coming here. They want to thank us for being able to hold off the Rock, and give a gift for friendship between the two villages."

"Well, they should have a interesting reaction to things here, don't you think, Amon?"

"Yeah, this will be interesting, lets hope, that the leaf reps are some who don't want me dead, if they do, we could have some serious problems. If that happens, well I not sure what we can do, maybe ally with the mist, if possible."

"Yeah, but I have a good feeling about this. Amon, I don't see why they would hate you, I have not seen a single thing about you that could of pissed off your former leaf allies."

"Well, it was far more political than anything else, a way to insure a possible threat would be out of the way."

A young short man ran up to them in a panic, "Lordship, there are 4 shinobi at the gate, they want clearance to enter"

"Hmm… 4 well, I am sure a group like that would not try anything, even if they do hate me, Keno let the group in."

Amon made his way to his feet and walked into an area where he would notice who the leader of the group was before they would notice him. He catch sight of the group and smiled, the group was led by a blonde shinobi who just happened to be in the same rookie class as him. He also noticed the young shinobi who had chased after his clone. Then again, he knew the boy well too, he was the son of his own teacher. The other two he really didn't know.

Amon jumped down from where he was standing and landing right in front of the group. Amon could not the surprise on the look on the faces of everyone of the leaf shinobi, even Minato had a surprised look, which meant Jiraya had not told him about the mission he gave to him.

"Well Minato, it is good to see the leaf sent you, I was afraid, they might send someone less friendly," Amon asked before turning to Kakashi, "Well, I heard about Sakumo, you have my good wish on everything."

"Amon, how?" Minato asked taken aback by the fact his former comrade was the leader of the waterfall village.

"I was sent by your former teacher to help these people. So put simply, I came here, got involved in the fight with the Iwa shinobi, and afterwards, they wanted me to lead them, and they were very persuasive."

"Hmm…figures the perv would do something like that, and also makes a lot of sense. That victory caused our battle against the Rock to go a lot easier, they were pulled back some of their forces to prevent possible counter attack by this village, or that is the report we got. "

"Well now, lets go inside and have this talk, it is a lot nicer out of this sun."

Minato followed Amon into the main headquarters of the Waterfall village, not a massive building in other villages, but still impressive none the less.

"So, the war is over?" Amon asked making sure the rumors were right.

"Yeah, it is, and I hope the wars are over for a long time," Minato replied, "I almost lost one of my students in the last battle."

"I agree with you there, do you think that the leaf will change its friendship with us, because of new developments."

"Nope, the ones who disliked you got what they wanted when you left the village, and the rest respect you, and know that this friendship between our villages have a great chance of becoming something that will help greatly in the future."

"So that is what you wanted with this mission, find out how much help we can be in the future, and secure our help for any problems that come about in the future correct. I am guessing you expected the waterfall to fall to the rock, and the massive victory shocked the leaf greatly, making them wonder why and how the leaf won. They sent you to see if the victory was a fluke or if the village had a strength that Konoha did know about, correct."

"Yeah, correct, and I have already learned a lot. I know how the rock shinobi were beaten," Minato said with a smile on his face, "Knowing your are leading tells me, that the waterfall will raise in power and will have the power to stand on its own, and also stand shoulder to shoulder with the leaf in the future. I don't need to see anything else in this village to know that."

"Well, it is good that things can work themselves out this easily. The future is going to be far different from now, and will be something to see, don't you agree."

"Yeah, the best times of this land our ahead of it."

A/N- Well I hope you liked it, if you did, please leave a line in a review. Also, I am thinking about the future of the story, and do you think I should still keep the future of Konoha, with the 9tails attack and Uchiha massacre in history, or change those events. They will of course not play as much of a role in the waterfall, but could play a decent size part of the story, especially with an idea I have for the 9 tails attack.
