A/N: This chapter goes out to my most dedicated reader and reviewer. This is for you Yumiyang! ;)
The kingdom of Naitsuusha was ruled by their most glorious king Orochichmaru. He is a tall middle aged man wow tended to favor deep navy blue to the point of almost black robes that he wore at all occasions. Along with a black and silver crown to go with it. His black hair added to all of that and his naturally dark expression that seemed to adorn his face people tend to assume he is a cold bitter man.
But in reality is quite kind but can be hard if needed. He ruled his country with strict care. rewarding the hard working and deserving citizens, but taking no pity on the criminal that like to walk over them. All of his punishments for such deeds can be called... unusual. He believes that if you've done something to someone else you should be subjected to that same event. An eye for an eye. Though this became complicated in situation like if someone kills someone else's child that does not mean that their child should die for their actions.
No the man would be lead to believe his child was killed and then banished so he would never learn the truth he was alive. It was such laws and punishments like that that would lead people away from the more gentle and slightly childish side of the king. Like the fact he collects stuffed animals or that he enjoys making said animals. That he likes to play tea party with his 6 year old daughter named Elisa.
This gentle side was rarely seen by anyone besides his family and very close friends or royal guards. This was also the reason he was happy to be getting away for a few weeks to the treaty renewal. He would miss his precious baby girl but he would be glad to put away the serious mask for a while.
It was starting to give him worry lines. He could really let go around his friends. Even more so then with his little girl. There are certain things you can't say around a six year old that you could only say around close friends. He would also especially like to see Yukio again. They had known each other much longer than the others. Considering they had the same tutor as children.
So they studied together at a young age. In those old days they had gotten into many deputes about the best way to rule a country. Evening going so far as to make a bet on who would have to best country in the future. As of now they were neck and neck for it ever since they started ruling. This meeting would also be a good chance to compare kingdoms.
Also he had gotten word from Hiruzen that something big had happen with the Kitsune. He had not said over the wedding not wanting the message to get intercepted. So he had confirmed that he would tell everyone as the treaty renewal. That was quite a while ago since he got the letter. And his curiosity and frustration had been building up this whole time. He simply couldn't wait to know. The Kitsune affected all their kingdoms.
If something happen to it then they were al doomed and very vulnerable. Other neighboring countries had wanted to take action against the alliance for awhile now but they kept there distance because of the Kitsune. There was no telling what they would do if word spread that something happen to the Great Kitsuen. Orochichmaru was practically pulling his hair out at the thought.
They all hated the thought of war. Before the Kitsune the kingdoms were in constant war. Many lives were lost and even more hearts were broken. It was even on the battle field that they found the Kitsune. He had been sleeping near by at the time. And he must have gotten upset at being woken. Because he took out both sides of the armies in one swish of a tail.
Before going back to sleep. Hiruzen was amazed to find such a magnificent creature. He and the rest of the alliance leaders had carried the being back to there base. They had been on the field at the time because they refused to send there soldiers out without being on the front lines themselves. When the Kitsune had waken they had given him food and many gifts to appease him hoping he would take favor in them and fight the rest of the war.
It seem like the Kitsune had no interest in doing such a thing though. He merrily waved his hand and all the enemy soldiers seem to be pushed out there kingdoms be a invisible force. Since then no one with any bad intent has been able to step foot on there grounds. Under this new peace the Kingdoms have been able to prosper. They had done everything they could to keep him happy.
Soon after the war ended there enemy countries shad gotten word about the Kitsune and had not bothered to attack again. Out of fear of inflicting the raf of the Kitsune on themselves. This fear only increased when research was done of the past of the Kitsune seeing as he would say where he came from himself The Alliance had come to the decision to find out themselves.
It did not take long to find a tribal village with the history of their ancestors stating about fearsome beasts that ruled the old times and their Alpha that was a nine tail fox. This had sparked the worshiping of the Kitsune. More research was done on the creature and when they had learned of it ability's they realized just how luck they really were to have such a creature on there side.
But even though the Kitsune had helped them he had never taken any real interest in anything or done anything out the ordinary so this was a very big deal. Orochichmaru could only hope it was nothing that could destroy their peace.
