Chapter 10
In Konoha, With Yasaka
As mentioned before, Yasaka had left the home of her in-laws to speak with the daimyo. Where the meeting would be mediated by Jiraiya and the elders as Minato had to deal with Kakashi's trial. So far the Konoha faction stayed silent as they listened closely and waited to step in when necessary to clear things up and avoid any trouble with terms being confused.
"Quite reasonable terms I say, but do forgive any hesitance on my part Yasaka-dono. New alliances and pacts with nations I have little knowledge of are something I am quite cautious of." the fire daimyo said.
"That is quite understandable your majesty. Any reasonable monarch shouldn't jump into any dealings that seem nice without seeing how this effects their own nation." Yasaka replied gracefully.
'While a sexy ambassador does sound enticing. I'm going to be bored as hell trying to write this.' Jiraiya thought as he couldn't do any research with Yasaka.
Funny enough, while that wasn't on his mind. His motivation to do any research later was clouded because of this complex meeting. Luckily it was almost finished as the two sides were giving their closing statements to each other.
"Then I see no reason put this pact aside any longer. Your terms are accepted Yasaka-dono, I do hope to continue this relationship between both of our nations." The fire daimyo said.
"The feeling is mutual daimyo-sama. I hope to see this potential alliance prosper." Yasaka said before bowing.
The daimyo bowed back as a sign of respect and acknowledgement. As both dignitaries started to leave with their respective guards. Jiraiya was ready to try and jump out the window when he heard a loud noise outside.
"What is that? A parade?" Koharu asked as she looked out the window.
"A strange parade I've seen." Homura said as he adjusted his glasses.
"That is definitely not a parade." Jiraiya said as he started making his way to the top of the tower.
On the roof
Upon arrival, Jiraiya saw three dragons of all things moving around. Now he's noticed the dragon newts and other lizard creatures. Even Hanzo's Salamander summons were quite big and destructive in their own right. However, these ferocious creatures were still pretty intense in Jiraiya's mind.
"Still, someone has to deal with those. I wonder if they're with Naruto or if they're just random trouble makers." Jiraiya said as he tried to think of a way to deal with the situation.
Since it appeared that these three would no doubt destroy the village if they aren't stopped. However, before Jiraiya could do anything. He already saw Naruto's military airship opening fire on the dragons. Luckily it was from a distance and started grabbing the attention of the scaly creatures. Luckily one moved low enough for Jiraiya to jump onto.
"I guess this is a new chapter in the Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya!" the sannin yelled as he landed on top of a green-blue Chinese style dragon.
The beast let out a roar as it chased after a red and black dragon. As the Gama sennin ran up the back of the dragon. He proceeded to charge up his palm with a lot of chakra before jumping high into the air and attacking the dragon's head.
"Odama Rasengan!" Jiraiya yelled as he slammed down his student's jutsu with all of his might.
Causing the beast to tilt it's head slightly. Feeling like someone who had just been hit in the head with a small rock. The beast snarled as it realized Jiraiya was on it's head.
"Not even a dent!?" Jiraiya asked before the beast roared.
"Who dares attack the Mirage dragon!?" the dragon asked as it referred to itself.
Before Jiraiya could experience the worst pain imaginable. He was shocked by the appearance of a gold kyuubi jumping right at the dragon and biting down on it's neck.
"Aw crap, not another Kyuubi!" Jiraiya yelled.
"It's me you perverted sage." the kyuubi said with a familiar voice. "I will hold down this misfit. You help deal with the other two." she said.
"Are you Yasaka? I almost forgot what species you were." Jiraiya said.
"Just get a move on." Yasaka said as she struggled to hold down the dragon.
"Got it!" Jiraiya said before finding Tohru flying through the air.
The fact that the maid did it while in human form made it more epic. As when she crashed into the black dragon and took it over the wall. It felt like watching something out of a manga.
"Too bad I'm no adventure novelist." Jiraiya said before spotting the red dragon moving towards the wall.
"Hey that's my opponent! Get your own!" the red dragon said before Jiraiya landed on it's back. "What the?" It asked.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Jiraiya yelled.
Suddenly, one of the strongest toads from Mt. Myoboku appeared and fell on the dragon. The dragon let out a yelp as the large toad started to crush it with it's heavy weight.
"I see my clumsiness knows no bounds. I landed on top of a salamander." the toad said.
"It's not your fault Gamaken. Besides, that's a dragon and it's destroying the village." Jiraiya said.
"Now it appears that my lack of grace is supplemented by being near sighted." Gamaken said.
"Get off of me you fat frog!" the red dragon yelled as it prepared to breath fire onto him.
Gamaken raised up his shield as Jiraiya hanged onto his back. As the massive toad managed to block most of the dragon's flames. Gamaken slammed his sasumata into the dragon's throat and held it down.
"Regardless of my weight, you are one very rude reptilian." Gamaken said before bashing his shield against the dragon's head.
Gamaken then proceeded to jump off of the dragon. The mighty beast let out a roar before breathing fire onto the toad again. Which Gamaken avoided as he revealed amazing agility before landing a blow to the head with his sasumata. The red dragon became enraged as Gamaken was able to avoid it's slow attacks. As it slapped Gamaken with it's tail, the toad looked undeterred as he slammed his weapon against the reptile's belly.
"I apologies for not being effective Jiraiya, but this mighty beast is stronger than I have comprehended." Gamaken said before blocking another tail swipe with his shield.
"Just keep at it Gamaken. I'll try to summon Bunta or someone to help out." Jiraiya said the red dragon clawed at Gamaken's face.
"All assistance is welcome." Gamaken said as he raised up his shield for another breath of fire.
"I am tired of you blocking almost every attack!" the red dragon yelled before the sasumata hit it in the belly.
This time a large explosion came with the blow. Causing it to fall onto it's back. With Gamaken trapping it's throat with his sasumata again in order to restrain it. Before the toad could press the attack, the dragon began to shrank and transformed into a human before uppercutting Gamaken's face.
"Let's see how fast you can move now!" the dragon said.
"You're a girl!? A hot girl!?" Jiraiya asked as he noticed the dragon's true form.
Instead of a monstrous creature, a scourge of humanity, the dragon is female. With the appearance of an attractive young woman with long red hair, horns on her head and a reptilian tale behind her.
"You do realize the other dragons are female too right?" the female dragon asked.
"Either you're messing with me or they're not hot." Jiraiya responded.
"Are you some kind of pervert?" the red dragon asked.
"I am no pervert!" Jiraiya argued. "I'm a super pervert!" He exclaimed.
"That's worse!" The red dragon yelled angrily.
Then Tohru came crashing down into the ground beside them. The black dragon was hovering above her, ready to attack when the maid transformed all the way. Where she countered the black dragon's attack with a magic beam of her own. The two coinciding blasts didn't stalemate as Tohru's fury eventually overpowered the black dragon.
In the distance, Yasaka could be seen ramming the green-blue dragon through the wall. In the midst of the distraction, Jiraiya thought it would be a good time to disable the dragon girl. Or at least try, she was still pretty strong and a lot faster in human form. He could already tell as the red head was already jumped into the air and tried to drop her heel onto his head.
"Needle Jizo!" Jiraiya yelled as he covered himself in his hair and extended the strands into the shape of needles.
The attack was reduced slightly with making the girl jump back. Jiraiya then found himself having to avoid the massive fireballs the red dragon girl could make.
"Needle Hell!" Jiraiya yelled as he fired many strands of hair at the girl.
The girl raised her balm and burned the hair needles away. She then ran up to Jiraiya and attempted to burn him with another breathe of fire. Where Jiraiya attempted to counter the attack with water.
"Water Style: Water Bullet!" Jiraiya yelled as he countered the flames.
As the red dragon attempted her hand at taijutsu again. Jiraiya quickly summoned a medium sized toad who blocked the attack with it's metal gauntlets. Before forcing the female dragon to jump back again.
"Water Style: Water Gun!" Jiraiya yelled as he and the toad unleashed a powerful wave of water.
"Now we're talking!" the red dragon happily said as she released a powerful wave of fire that overpowered the water technique.
However, before the exciting battle could continue. The green-blue dragon reverted into human form and was sent crashing into the red dragon. Before either one could recover, Jiraiya slammed his palms into the ground.
"Swamp of the Underworld!" the sage yelled as the girls were then trapped under the muddy swamp.
Soon enough, the black dragon joined them as it crashed into the mud. The third and final dragon was finished up thanks to Tohru smashing her fist into's it's head. As she jumped out, Tohru watched the black dragon revert into human form.
"That should teach you brats a lesson." Tohru yelled.
"Who are you calling brats!? You look the same age as us!" the green-blue haired dragon girl said.
Tohru scoffed as she flared her power, "I am Tohru, the Head Maid of the Crimson Emperor!" She roared.
"A m-maid?" the red dragon asked with great confusion.
"We got beat up by an old man, a kitsune and a maid?" the green-blue dragon asked.
"My head, where am I?" The two girls looked at the black dragon who seemed delirious.
"This is your fault!" they yelled.
"My fault? What happened?" she asked.
Before the argument could continue, a strange black substance came out from her back. The substance moved on it's own and proceeded to jump out of the muddy swamp. Where it attempted to escape until Jiraiya caught it in a gourd.
"I don't know what this is, but I'm keeping it safe." Jiraiya said as he placed a locking seal onto the gourd.
"Now is the best time to ask for answers." Yasaka said as she arrived in human form.
It was then at that moment, that the dragon girls realized that they were in trouble. As they quickly recognized the empress of Makai. It wouldn't be too long before they realized that Tohru was the daughter of someone important as well.
Later that day
Luckily the destruction wasn't too big, though most of the population were concerned with the sighting of another Kyuubi. Which did demand the local government to do something since it disappeared in their eyes. Something Minato would have to deal with later, as the council was currently explaining that they would release details later on the dragon attack.
Now, it was time to interrogate the three dragons as well as study the black substance. Somehow, Naruto already knew how to scare them without threats or identifying himself. As the Crimson Emperor looked down at the three bound dragonoid, he told them one thing.
"Do you see those two children?" Naruto asked as he pointed at his siblings.
"Yeah, they look dorks." the red haired dragon said.
"Hey!" Mito and Arashi yelled angrily.
"They're dovahkiin." Naruto said.
All three girls burst out laughing, obviously not believing the lie. However, Naruto proceeded to give Arashi a sheet of paper with some writing.
"Say this out loud while looking at the sky." Naruto told his younger brother.
"Uh…"
"Say it fast." Naruto told hm.
"Fine, fine! Let me see, uh… Fus-Do-Rah!" Arashi shouted.
However, as he finished saying the last syllable. No one noticed Naruto making a hand seal that released a powerful gust of wind from Arashi. As the boy almost collapsed from the sheer pressure that passed through him. Everyone assumed he lost control of the technique he was trying to say. As the end result was a giant gust of wind floating into the sky and creating a noise that sounded like the sound barrier had just shattered.
"Woah! I'm super powerful!" Arashi exclaimed, also thinking he did that technique.
Now the girls were shaking in fear. All of them looked at Arashi like he was the shinigami incarnate. As the boy celebrated thinking he was powerful now. Mito started to question what was going on.
"Now, identify yourself." Naruto demanded.
"Tania!"
"Tio Clarice!"
"Tomoe!"
Naruto sweat dropped, "All names starting with the letter T, are you all related in some way?" he asked.
"No, this one here was picking a fight with us." Tania said as she gestured to Tio.
"I don't remember anything! I Just woke up and feel confused!" Tio said as she struggled to break free of her ropes.
"Don't lie! You got us into the mess! I mean, I'm always welcome to a fight but you lead us here!" Tomoe argued.
Tio felt genuinely confused, "I am being honest!" she said.
"This may take a while." Naruto said.
"Should we still be here?" Mito asked.
"Fus-Do-Rah!" Arashi yelled, but nothing happened.
"It has to recharge first." Naruto said to keep up the lie.
Elsewhere
Greyfarn looked over the strange sentience substance that Jiraiya brought to him. The old man carefully studied the behavior of the sentient. Interacting with it, testing it's endurance and seeing how it reacts to certain conditions like the cold and heat.
"Aw poor little slime, it feels pain from the heat." Greyfarn said sounding sympathetic. Right before casting a small lightning spell on the substance, "And it feels pain from electricity. What a wimp!" he said.
"So what is it?" Jiraiya asked.
"I can tell it's alive and that a little shock and heat is too much for it. Bah! Even Larry and Igner don't complain when the microwave acts funny." Greyfarn said before amplifying his voice with magic. "Little wimp!" he yelled at it.
The substance let out a shrilled scream before collapsing.
"And it's weak against me raising my voice." Greyfarn commented. "Though overall, it's parasitic and with a mind of it's own. Did any more of this pop off?" he asked.
"No, it came off of that black dragon that turned out to be a lovely lady." Jiraiya answered.
Greyfarn looked contemplative, "I think my grandson may need to make a call." he said
Back with Naruto
Even before Greyfarn could tell him to do so. Naruto used his communication mirror to reach out to another kingdom where he was well acquainted with it's ruler. Seeing as how dragons are not within his jurisdiction. Naruto had to contact the one place where most of them to tend to come from.
"How often does a monarch contact another monarch so casually?" Naruto said after a series of connections were made.
"Emperor Uzumaki, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Asked a woman in his mirror.
The woman is a true beauty in eastern attire, with her hair pinned up in a bun and wearing a very light amount of makeup. So much so it was fairly easy to know she was a monarch or at least someone of high status.
"Yes, hello Princess Kazumi. Recently, there was an incident involving three rogue dragons. From what they can tell me, two were just looking eager for a fight when a third lost all sense of self control." Naruto explained.
"I do faintly remember something like that. I had only assumed that those two had taken it upon themselves to restrain the rogue dragon. I see was I was wrong and they were a pair of fools seeking to use their fists." Kazumi said with much disappointment.
"I was only able to extract very little information. However, as to avoid any incidents. I am asking for how you wish for me to transport your citizens." Naruto said as Kazumi sighed.
"That sounds like the least of my problems with recent events." Kazumi said as she closed her eyes and sighed again.
"Is something the matter?" Naruto asked as he noticed her stress.
"There's been a lot of political pressure. Especially with recent events in here in Long zhi Gou." Kazumi answered as she ribbed her forehead. "I heard of the events going on. A new realm was found?" she asked.
"Yes, I'm here again for a few reasons I don't want to go into detail right now." Naruto said.
"I see, I suppose everyone ruling a fairly large kingdom is aware of the new events. However, what concerns many of us is the trouble that has come with it." Kazumi said.
"And what's the trouble your country is facing?" Naruto asked.
"Other than my time for my succession to the crown. There are have been reports of strange individuals being possessed by an ooze with a mind of it's own." Kazumi answered.
Naruto started pondering on her words, "An ooze you say?" he asked. "I'll try looking into this. Hopefully your grandfather, the current ruler, is okay with entering this potential conflict." he said.
"My grandfather already believes that we are already involved with whatever conflict this is." Kazumi said. "Please take good care of those girls for me Naruto. Two of them sound like troublemakers and it's already difficult enough to deal with the ones who enjoy fighting." she said.
"I will, I'll contact you with any updates." Naruto said before Kazumi disconnected. "Now, what to do about…"
Suddenly the mirror came to life and Greyfarn could be seen, "Boy, we need to contact the Land of Dragons. I think I've found the source of that Black Dragon's self control issues." He said.
"Slow down, what happened?" Naruto asked before Greyfarn proceeded to explain his experiment with what Jiraiya brought.
Two weeks later, Kage Summit
With recent events becoming hectic and the Elemental Nations as a whole being forced into some unknown conflict. The kages of all five hidden villages declared a temporary truce in order to speak of the recent events. Naruto arrived with his wife to speak on the behalf of Makai with Vali having returned to help with the tense situation back at home.
At least now, random attacks have calmed down. Though that doesn't mean it was time to relax and socialize with foreign neighbors.
"Welcome everyone, I am General Mifune of Tetsu no Kuni and I will be working as your mediator." Mifune said as he introduced himself and began the standard formalities. "Today we have a special guest from outside of the Elemental Nations. Please welcome, Emperor Naruto Uzumaki." he said surprising a pair of kage.
"An Uzumaki from outside of the Elemental Nations? How is that possible?" Onoki asked with confusion on his face.
"I would like to know as well." Mei said as she had yet to hear about this.
"We can worry about who is from where and what happened with who later." Ay said interrupting the questions.
"The Raikage has a point." Mifune said. "We must begin deliberations on current issues." he said.
"That is why I will be speaking on behalf of my counterparts." Naruto began to say. "As you have all realized, there are strange creatures and individuals appearing out of nowhere. None of which are native to the shinobi lands you live in." he began to explain.
"That much is true." Mei admitted. "Hostile individuals from a kingdom called Melromarc sided with the former Mizukage. We were only saved thanks to the intervention of two young men with unique abilities to overpower them along with another elder man from a church." she explained.
"I was at the chunin exams in Konoha when I saw a similar kingdom attacking. That snake, Orochimaru, was a part of it and contracted two monsters to help him fight." Ay added.
"I can't even begin to list the things that went on in my village. Which are still happening now due to a treaty being formed with Emperor Uzumaki which Raikage-dono is also being a part of." Minato explained.
Ay hid his smirk as he was thinking about a certain pink haired kitsune he was thinking about. However, he focused back on the main topic as this was no time to think about dates.
"And seeing as you are from outside of this continent. What do you wish to do to stop this madness?" Onoki asked.
"The fault is not my own, Tsuchikage-dono. Besides, there are many more lands beyond your countries. Many of which have various creatures only believed to be only of fiction." Naruto countered. "However, that does not mean that my own faction will not do anything to help combat the situation." he added.
"That much is true." Minato said. "There are other kingdoms being forced to get involved as the situation is effecting their own domains as well." he finished.
"You sound oddly agreeable." Onoki said suspiciously.
"Says the man who sounds like he's hardly had any issues." the Raikage pointed out.
"Iwa has received strange reports, but has not faced any form of conflict." Onoki countered. "So it leaves me wondering if the potential dangers you all speak of are real." he said sounding stubborn.
Leave it to the angry old man to not care.
"Well they are very real. Kumo hasn't had any conflict either and I still saw the big ass mess that's coming. So I want to talk about fighting the threat rather than fighting with each other." Ay said sounding reasonable.
"Agreed, Kiri is barely standing and can't afford another attack from monsters or foreign invaders." Mei said sounding a bit desperate.
"It's only a matter of time before they begin another attack. By now, it can be assured that another party is involved as these individuals are organized." Minato said.
"I here all of these worries and whatnot and yet, Suna hasn't been able to send anyone to represent them." Onoki said.
"Their Kazekage is dead by the hand of Orochimaru or possibly his new partners." Minato responded. "That said, Nar- Emperor Uzumaki has actually captured one of them and had him interrogated." he said almost slipping up.
"You detained one of the foreigners?" Mei asked.
"I did, he calls him Vanir. He associated with Orochimaru and Suna until it was revealed that Suna was manipulated." Naruto answered.
"And what did you find out?" Ay asked.
"That several smaller factions, various groups are being banded together by one party from the sounds of things." Naruto explained.
"That sounds too vague." Onoki said sounding impatient.
"Then you will not have the patience for me to explain the truth behind Vanir and his comrades." Naruto explained.
For he had to explain the concept of demons and other monsters along with the title of Demon Lord. Those who rally demons and lesser creatures to their cause. Though outside of their respective realms, they fight it out like common street thugs despite being organized like medium sized governments.
Back in Konoha, in the cells
As the forces from Melromarc already prepared to return home. With only a couple staying behind for political reasons. There were still a few prisoners left behind in Konoha's custody. As some of them were already interrogated and waiting for a trial back at home with the information provided. There are still a few feeling desperate to leave. Especially the party members of the heroes now that they can't get away with their "less than honorable" actions which some of them abused. Since trying to argue or even filing a complaint with a hero would be as easy as accusing a monarch of criminal activity.
Funny enough, three people had already left the various parties of the heroes. Though only two of them did it willingly with a third being sold into slavery by Malty. With Rishia having decided to follow Naofumi for now, Elena having long since abandoned Motoyasu's party and Rino being sold away. That left everyone else to wait and face judgement.
"You can't do this! I'm technically a foreign dignitary! I have rights!" Mald yelled as he banged his fists on the bars.
No one bothered to listen to him or acknowledge his words. Leaving the angry brute to keep shaking the bars like an angry animal. Until a calm voice stopped him.
"Does the little zoo animal want to stretch it's legs?" asked a distorted voice.
"Who said that? Show yourself!" Mald commanded.
That's when a black ooze started to fall from the ceiling, "I ask again, does the zoo animal wish to stretch it's legs?" he asked.
"What the?" Mald asked as he stepped back.
The ooze slowly started to stand up, "Because I have the key and I can let all the animals I want run out. No questions asked." the creature said as it slipped through the bars.
"Hey get away!" Mald yelled. "Guards! Some sort of monster is in here!" he shouted.
"The keepers of the animals have no concern. Should you not be concerned with leaving? Why fight back the key to your cage?" The ooze asked as it slowly attached itself to Mald.
Mald's screams died down before feeling relaxed by the substance. A few moments later, he heard the sounds of destruction. Where he saw the same ooze surrounding his party.
"Hey, don't leave me behind!" Mald yelled as he pulled on the bars. Only to realize he had the strength to break off the bars, "What the? Never mind! Just wait up!" he yelled as he followed his group.
By then, the silent alarm went off and the ANBU were pressed into action. Many ending up getting injured by the strange abilities of the human hybrids that fused with the ooze. Though not all of them managed to make it far when the case of extreme fire became present due to some fire jutsus becoming active. However, this prison break wasn't contained in time.
At the same time, Namikaze mansion
As the men had left to deal with the political issues surrounding the Elemental Nations. The women sat back to enjoy the peace. Though Kushina seemed to be whining.
"I miss Kunou-chan." Kushina said.
"Kushina-dono, please understand that Kunou needs an education. She will be back once the school day has been finished." Yasaka said sternly.
"School is boring! I'm a fun grandma! I can teach her all sorts of things they never teach at school!" Kushina said as she flailed around.
Yasaka sighed, "To think Naruto was like this until his mid teen years." she said.
"What do you mean? Naru-chan has the personality of a brick wall." Kushina asked.
"That is until time changed Kushina-dono. Responsibilities arrive and so does the need to change." Yasaka said as she sipped her tea. "Along with having a family to raise." she said as she heard her babies mumbling.
"Aw, you two still want to be with granny right?" Kushina asked as she looked down at her grandchildren. Kushina then started lifting up both Kairi and Ichigo, "Come here babies, spend time with granny before you learn to walk." she said.
Yasaka giggled as she saw Kushina interacting with her children. It was adorable to see a normal grandmother and while Momon isn't necessarily a bad person. She isn't too motherly since she did give Kunou a book as a baby in an attempt to have her educated. Though it could be her paranoia that another Igner would appear.
"Speaking of which, what happened to your sister with the funny name? I never asked what happened after she sued Kakashi and Yamato." Kushina asked.
Yasaka rolled her eyes, "She decided to let the two avoid castration in the court. Saying she only wanted full custody of the children. As well as a small check for their livelihoods." She said.
"Small? Babies need big child support checks regardless of which parent abandoned them!" Kushina exclaimed as Kairi pulled on her hair. "Kairi-chan no, that hurts." she whispered. Then Ichigo started pulling, "Ichigo-chan no!" she said.
Both babies started pulling on their grandmother's hair. Both looking mesmerized by the bright red color that came with being an Uzumaki. Yasaka could only watch as her children continued to pick on Kushina. That is until Souei came out from the shadows and whispered into her ear.
"Your majesty, you have foreign diplomats wishing an audience." Souei whispered.
"The Konoha council?" Yasaka asked.
"No ma'am, the Fourth Emperor." Souei said surprising her. "Representing the Elves, Emperor Licht has arrived in an attempt to establish diplomatic ties I suppose." he explained.
"I will see them right away." Yasaka said.
"Ow! You really are my grandchildren! You don't respect authority!" Kushina said as both babies giggled at her frustration.
A few minutes later
Entering the front yard again, Yasaka arrived with the surprise arrival of Princess Tetia of the Clover Kingdom along with a few of her friends from the Elven tribe and of course her newborn infants.
"An exotic place you have here." Vetto comments.
"It belongs to my in-laws." Yasaka replied.
"The sky looks nice. Now I got something to look at before I get some well deserved rest." Rhya said.
"You think you need rest after standing up for more than 20 seconds Rhya. You would be too lazy to go to your own funeral." Fanna commented.
"Just bring the casket to me and then scoop up my body. That should be easy right? Unless there's no padding. I heard of nice coffins with soft padding." Rhya said as he daydreamed of those expensive luxury coffins.
"That reminds me, is your brother here as well?" Yasaka asked the princess.
"Yes, but he's with Licht. He said he also wanted to put a good word in for the kingdom to avoid any potential hostilities." Tetia answered.
Unlike some kingdoms and realms where people have to train their bodies. Clover Kingdom has very few magic users and only the nobles have any respectable amount of magic. Which left them jealous enough to consider attacking the elves so Lemiel would prefer to avoid his people from getting reckless again and trying to steal alternative powers that are similar. So it's best to establish some ties with the outside as Lemiel is the only sensible one in the family besides Tetia herself.
"Seeing as how Momon is whipping some people into shape. I wouldn't doubt that Lemiel and Licht-dono are talking to the more sensible members of the local government." Yasaka said as they arrived to find Kushina still playing with her grandchildren.
"Okay you two, grandma's hair is nice but it's not for you to pull on. You can pull on your toys but not my hair." Kushina said as if the babies were adults. "Especially you Kairi-chan, you're going to have beautiful red hair. So won't like it if someone pulls on your hair." she explained.
"Ah!" Kairi replied while kicking the air.
Kushina sighed, "Who am I kidding?" she asked before noticing her guests. "Hello there, are you friends of Yasaka-chan?" she asked.
"I would like to say we are." Tetia said as she felt positive about Yasaka. "I'm Tetia and these two are my children." she said as she tried to adjust her infants.
"Here let me help." Fanna said as she picked up one the infants.
"Thank you Fanna." Tetia said.
"Aw, I guess everyone has been blessed with babies this season." Kushina said before noticing the ears. "And I guess these ones are great listeners." she said.
"We're elves ma'am." Vetto said as he noticed the comment.
"Forgive me, I'm still mixed up." Kushina said before gesturing to Ichigo and Kairi.
Which the elves and Tetia noticed were not human based on their fox ears and tails. Tetia and Fanna gushed at the sight of how adorable they appeared.
"Yasaka-sama, are they yours?" Tetia asked.
Yasaka smiled, "Yes, of course." she said proudly.
"Congratulations! I never noticed anything." Tetia said feeling a bit awkward.
"Thank you, though I only wish the experience was less painful. Then again, with how stable things were for me. I should be grateful." Yasaka said remembering Tetia's emergency labor.
At least the all out war that occurred in Konoha was way after the birth of Ichigo and Kairi. Though at least the half elven children seem to be fine and in good health. That aside, it looked like more guests were coming.
"Hi Kushina-chan." Yoshina Nara greeted as she arrived with her son.
"Mom do I really have to be here? Also why do I need to carry this crockpot?" Shikamaru whined.
"Shikamaru we are in front of guests and you need to get out of the house more often when not on missions." Yoshino said.
And here Shikamaru assumed that he could just rest up for an extended period while Asuma was on a mission of his own. It appears that like most mothers, Yoshino doesn't want her son to be lazy. Along with helping her move some stuff around from the looks of it.
"Here, now go interact with the guests or something." Yoshino said.
"Are you serious?" Shikamaru asked as his mother took the crockpot.
As the women started talking about cooking or something involving the crockpot. Shikamaru looked around and sighed until he noticed Rhya was lying by a tree. Most likely falling asleep now that he found comfort.
"At least someone has the right idea." Shikamaru said.
"That's all he does, friend." Vetto points out.
"Sounds relatable." Shikamaru said as he looked around for a good spot.
A good thing that Yoshino was too enamored by the sight of elven children to focus on Shikamaru's laziness. Though it didn't look like things would continue to be peaceful. As it looked likes chaos was trying to spread into the village again. That's also the least of the world's worries.
Back at the kage summit
Despite Onoki's constant need to question the truth of the matters. It looked like the kages were thinking about a ceasefire. With only minor concern for Suna as they were likely facing their own economic struggles as well as the loss of their leader.
"And what should we do about them should they decide to continue their little war?" Onoki asked while referring to Suna.
"I think not everyone in the village is that arrogant. They may have felt pressure, but Suna has always been the cautious type." Minato said hoping to avoid conflict.
"I also think they know who the heavy hitters are. The real problem is that foreign army." Ay said.
"So far, I can confirm that Melromarc is being adjusted with the return of their queen. Which leaves Falmuth with their incompetent ruler who are eager for any conflict if the pros outweigh the cons." Naruto explained.
"Any other nations worth worrying about?" Mei asked.
"I doubt The Principality of Amidonia will join this event. Their leader is a crazed warmonger with only his personal goals." Naruto answered as he thought about moronic rulers.
To be fair, King Gaius of Amidonia is one of those types who like to blame situations that his countrymen are in on other people. Especially if he makes the mistakes himself. Luckily, the man is smart enough to know when to avoid wars that could end his nation in a single swoop. Then again, there is a similar prince he's aware is equally as reckless as King Gaius and has a lot more resources at his disposal but his kingdom lacks the technology and military might to be a threat.
That's also considering the fact that the king of said land is far more cautious and avoid unnecessary bloodshed. Mostly as to protect the welfare of his people.
"Still, it should considered that everyone should be weary of foreign individuals with odd appearances and unique abilities." Naruto said.
"That sounds very specific." Onoki said sarcastically before he got hit in the head with flail.
"Who did that?" Mifune asked as he reached for his sword.
The kages and emperor looked to see that Momon somehow got in. Along with one of her larger orcs who was spinning his flail meant for slapping. Mifune was about to question who she was and how she entered this meeting room. When Momon snapped her fingers and made the orc hit Onoki again just as he started getting back to his seat.
"Listen here you elderly midget. The world is scary, but I'm more terrifying." Momon said.
"How did you get in here?" Minato asked.
"Be quiet." Momon said.
"Yes ma'am." Minato said sounding cowardly.
Momon then looked down at Onoki's form, "Listen here you pathetic arrogant excuse for a world leader. You have a job and that's to provide for your country and murder with no consequences. So for once in your life, listen to the people you don't like!" she yelled.
"How dare you! I am the Tsuchikage of Iwa and I…"
*SLAP*
"Well, looks like we need whatever he was." Momon said after slapping Onoki onto the ground.
"Can we reduce the physical violence? This is a place of neutrality and peace." Mifune said as Momon rolled her eyes.
"The old codger already complains about his back. The last thing he needs is a concussion." Ay said as Onoki seems very close to losing consciousness.
"If he doesn't get the point then screw the old man. We have to prepare for the worst." Momon said.
"I agree, I'd rather not face something equal or worse than the previous Mizukage." Mei said.
Complete unaware that Naofumi and company will be facing another turtle capable of destroying kingdoms. Who knew such shy and frail creatures could be so dangerous? What next? An army of them with landmine attached to their shells?
"Then I recommend keeping in touch with each other. Especially keeping an eye out for Suna once they are organized again." Naruto said.
"I think we'll be expecting an emissary from them soon." Minato said recognizing Suna's procedures.
It wouldn't be too long before Onoki was also forced to cooperate. So after ironing out the details for a collective non-aggression pact between the main hidden villages. With Naruto pledging his support along with Vali, Alucard and likely Licht too. Mifune adjourned the meeting after agreeing to join the little agreement in case any conflict harms his nation as well.
"Then I adjourn this meeting and wish you a good luck on your journey back to your respective homes." Mifune said as the meeting ended.
"Well that turned out well." Momon said.
"We could do without you having to attack a foreign leader." Naruto commented.
Momon scoffed, "That old man would have been spouting nonsense and getting angry the whole time. I'm angry, old and impatient and you don't see me complaining." she said.
"But you're complaining about Onoki's outbursts…" Minato said until he got slapped.
"Don't contradict me!" Momon yelled before slapping him again. "Also if you want respect, then stop letting some old woman hit you." she said.
Minato cleared his voice and straightened his outfit, "Very well, Momon-san I do not like it when you hit me and think you should stop." Is all he said before being slapped yet again.
"Don't talk back to me!" Momon yelled.
"He's not going to learn." Naruto commented.
"It's hard to know what I'm supposed to learn." Minato said as his cheeks started swelling.
Back at home
As with the prison break, it seems that standards will have to increase. Luckily as prisoners started getting loose, there were extra hands around to help prevent anyone from getting too far and causing havoc.
"Why am I always stuck with you of all people?" Rin said as he was holding off one of the hybrid prisoners.
"You're the one following me!" Garfield yelled as he punched a hole through one of the hybrids. The hybrid screamed as it tried biting down on him, "These things are are super tough and annoying." he said as he tried tossing the hybrid aside.
"They won't last. Campfire!" Rin yelled as he stabbed his sword into one of the hybrids.
The resulting attack surrounded the sentient ooze in Rin's blue flames. Making it screech in pain before burn apart. Leaving a wounded soldier from Melromarc behind.
"Okay, fire is their main weakness." Rin said.
"Then there's no use in just beating them to death!" Garfiel yelled as he slammed his fists into the ground.
With all of his might the ground started to shatter. With most of the hybrids being caught and stuck to the ground. Before any of them could try and escape, Rin quickly dashed through all of them. Not even batting an eye, the young man spread a large wave of blue fire all over the battlefield with a single slash of his sword. The fire only burned the hybrid prisoners that were in his range. Causing the sentient ooze that surrounded them to dye off like withered plants.
However there were still plenty of more left. Like a very large brutish one that tried to crush Garfiel with his fist. Luckily the young boy was a lot stronger than he looked.
"ROAR!" The hybrid screamed.
"You want a screaming match? I'll give you a screaming match!" Garfiel exclaimed as he started to transform into a giant bipedal tiger.
Garfiel then loud out a ear piercing roar of his own. Surprisingly enough, that was also enough to cause the hybrid to scream in pain as it's body began to throb. Garfiel didn't give it the chance to recover as he ran up to the hybrid and slammed his fist into the hybrid's face. As it started flying a few meters away, Garfiel slammed his foot into the ground to cause a large stone pillar to appear behind the hybrid. Halting it's mid flight collision as it crashed through the large stone.
"Any of you want more?" Garfiel asked as several hybrids tried to surround him.
"That is scary." A random ANBU commented.
"Focus on the battle!" another ANBU yelled as Rin kept burning away some of the hybrids.
Though none of them noticed a mischievous red hybrid smirking from the background. The creature silently sneaked away from the battle and started making it's way out of the village. Leaving everyone else distracted with the escape attempt.
"How many are there of these things?" asked a cat masked ANBU.
"Too many to count!" Rin answered as he dug his sword into the ground.
Creating various explosions of blue flames in the distance that stopped another wave of hybrids. As they began to die down, Greyfarn arrived on Pazuzu's back with a tuba on hand. The old wizard flew over a large group of hybrids and blew loudly into the musical instrument. Causing a whole bunch of sentient ooze to scream out in pain as they left their hosts and tried to run.
"Quickly, burn them but keep at least one alive!" Greyfarn warned as Rin nodded.
However, before Rin could burn them all. Every hybrid was suddenly sucked into a giant metal object that locked itself up tightly. Suddenly, the sounds of the screeching hybrids became silent upon being trapped.
"Das Stärkste Gefängnis." Said a man in a white outfit with a top hat and cane. "I think there will be no more need of that." The man said as he tapped the ground with his cane.
"Who the hell are you?" Garfiel asked.
Rin sighed, "He's my brother." he said.
"I thought your brother was the four eyed traitor." Garfiel said.
"This one is my half brother." Rin said.
The man laughed as he slapped Rin's shoulder, "Is that really any way to greet your big brother?" he asked.
"Why are you here Mephisto?" Rin asked.
"I was here on my way to see Emperor Uzumaki. Only I got sidetracked with so many goods, er, I mean the sight of this fight." Mephisto said almost slipping with his lie. "So, I had no choice but to restrain those creatures by intervening." he said.
"Good work Mephisto." Greyfarn said as he knocked on the metal prison. "Now I can study these creatures without accidentally killing them." he said.
"You are most welcome, Great Wizard Greyfarn. Also, the Wizard Greystash sends his regards." Mephisto said as Greyfarn nodded before moving the metal prison. "Anyhow, seeing as you two are here. I can assume the emperor is still in this village?" he asked.
"The emperor is out, but he'll be back when his politics stuff is over." Garfiel answered with a glare.
"Why the scary face?" Mephisto said feigning concern.
"You probably remind him of that Roswaal guy." Rin said making Mephisto looked concerned.
"As if I should be compared to such a disturbing man with no sense of loyalty or strategy. All he cares about himself and cannot comprehend danger or his own failures." Mephisto said as he hated a man named Roswaal.
Later
With an enhanced Hiraishin, Minato and Naruto returned along with their company. Upon arrival, they found the mothers and Tetia speaking as they all watched over the babies. Apparently hybrid infants tend to be the craze for local matriarchs.
"I see everyone looks happy." Naruto said as they came closer.
"Hello darling." Yasaka said as she went to greet her husband.
"Hello dear, I see you're all having a party. Is Kunou back yet?" Naruto asked.
"Otou-sama!" Kunou said as she ran up to her father and hugged his leg.
"There you are musume." Naruto said.
"So, uh… how are things?" Minato asked as he moved around his son's family.
"Well, Shikamaru-kun found his elven twin." Kushina said as she pointed at the boy.
With many of the genin, who tagged along, to find this very weird.
"Troublesome, your friends are blocking the sunlight." Rhya said.
"I wanna make them move, but I don't get lumps on my head." Shikamaru commented.
"How can there be so many lazy people!" Ino yelled.
"Keep it down will ya?" Rhya asked.
"Why you!" Ino said ready to hit Rhya like he's Shikamaru.
"So there's a whole clan like Rhya?" Vetto asked.
"Unfortunately that's the case, though Yoshino-san said that her family are supposed to be very intelligent as well." Fana answered.
Choji chuckled as he saw the comparison, "I wonder if there's someone from the other worlds that likes eating and cooking like me." he said.
"Choji we don't need more fa-…" Ino stopped as Choji gave her a death glare. "Fa-famously hungry tribe of people who love to eat." She said fixing her mistake.
Choji calmed down, "What's wrong with enjoying food?" he asked.
"Nothing's wrong with it. You have an extra chip bag?" Rhya asked as he raised his hand.
Ignoring that, the mothers continued their little chat. All the while Naruto had to briefly excuse himself and enter the mansion. As he was told about Mephisto's arrival and some important business that the eccentric man supposedly had. Though that wasn't his only concern that he had to deal with.
A little while later
"This is so humiliating." Tania said she her wrists were bound by a chain and a necklace was placed over her neck.
"I know." Tomoe said as she was in the same position.
"Why am I like this!? I didn't do anything!" Tio whined.
Naruto sighed, "Because you're perverted and I can't trust you to not cause trouble in other ways." he answered.
"How rude, I can be taken advantage of and I have no method of protection." Tio said as she fantasized a muscular figure committing sexual acts with her.
Naruto's eyebrow twitched, "I'm going to ignore you now." he said before looking at his siblings. "The two of you already take care of the fairies. So I think you are both competent to handle restrained dragons." Naruto told them.
"Why are you referring to us like we're pets?" Luna asked.
"What about the pervert?" Arashi asked as he pointed at Tio.
"I have the perfect solution." Naruto answered.
A few seconds later
Tio was displeased, "Can I not have someone older with experience?" she asked.
"I do not like what she is implying." Sasuke said as he was holding Tio's chains.
"You can handle it. Think of this is training for your patience." Naruto said as Tio kept nudging at her chains. "Besides, she can't move with her power sealed." she said.
"I have rights!" Tio said.
"And because of those rights, Princess Kazumi Hachijo is allowing to keep you three restrained until her arrival. She would have been more lenient had a certain pair not seen this as another "fun" brawl." Naruto explained.
"We said we're sorry already!" Tomoe yelled before the necklace electrocuted her.
"Your lucky these things aren't dog collars." Arashi said.
"You should still keep her on a leash. Just in case." Luna whispered into his ear.
"I heard that!" Tomoe yelled.
"This doesn't feel sensible." Sora said as Mito was stuck with Tania.
"I'm also really uncomfortable with this too." Mito said as Tania tried to break her binds.
"Since Kakashi is out on more missions. Think of this as your own training exercises. In fact, it's more of an adventurer's party than a shinobi squadron." Naruto explained.
"How is that different?" Mito asked.
Naruto sighed, "Adventurers have all sorts of jobs they can take. Only they don't work under the government, but still have to obey their laws and at rare times, respond to the demand for their support. Though most of the time, you can't get involved with affairs of the law except in the case of an approved request such as catching a criminal or working security." he explained.
"That explanation hurt my head." Arashi said as his eyes started spinning.
"So basically shinobi, except they can pick their jobs." Mito said.
"I guess it's not too different, except for various laws." Naruto said.
"Besides, if it helps you feel better. I can give you all grades to make you feel more confident." Naruto said.
"Grades?" Mito asked.
Some high ranking missions such as assassinations and infiltrations are things most kingdoms do not allow approve of as requests. Though it's the duty of the guild masters and their receptionists to report such requests to their local law enforcement officers. Though unlike ranks such as genin to jounin, adventurers are given letter grades by competency but some guilds don't always do that and that can be hectic when it comes to super sensitive jobs. Then again, some jobs in the shinobi world are dictated by pay grade.
Like offering the kage 1 million ryo to guard a useless vase that not even the greediest thugs would try to steal. That's why Tazuna's mission couldn't have been considered a higher rank earlier due to his poor funds. Otherwise, he probably would have had a larger and more experienced protective guard like a daimyo would request.
"Seeing as how you all handled the situation during the invasion well. All three of you get to be Unofficial C rank adventurers." Naruto said as he started weaving the letter C with fire magic into the air.
"Heck no! We should be at A already!" Arashi argued.
Naruto slapped him upside the head, "You are not ready." he said sternly. "Besides, C you were lucky to survive your first mission and lasted against Gaara's assault. That's fairly close to B rank on it's own." he further explained.
Sasuke sweat dropped at the explanation, "So I'm stuck with this?" he asked as he pointed at Tio.
"And now he's calling me an object he owns." Tio said in a sad voice.
Yet for some reason, she had a face filled euphoria. Which really creeped Sasuke out.
Naruto chose to ignore the both of them, "Think of this as early leadership training. Besides, I don't think the girls like the idea of being treated as pets." he said. "It also makes sense by how I'm categorizing things." he said as he looked at the three groups.
Sasuke and Tio: Dysfunctional.
Arashi, Luna, and Tomoe: Relaxed.
Mito, Sora, and Tania: Mature.
"Anyways, until I meet with Princess from the Land of Dragons again. All of you should consider getting to know each other." Naruto said.
"What about Sakura? She's a part of this team." Arashi asked.
"She can pair up with Team Dysfunctional. Sora and Luna are both support types and that leaves Dysfunctional without a support unit." Naruto explained. "Anyways, I have a little meeting to get to." he said as he walked up to Mephisto who patiently waited.
"An interesting bunch, I say." Mephisto commented.
"They're a mess, but that's how the best parties always start." Naruto replied as Mephisto laughed.
"I can tell, anyways what I'm about to inform you is from Emperor Tepes himself. There have been some updates aside from the device that triggered your summoning." Mephisto began to explain.
Meanwhile, Team 7 stayed behind to think about their assigned teams.
Elsewhere
Just before his wife had made her return to the castle. King Aultcray had already begun an expedition of his own. However, when word of Mirellia's return had reached his ears. Aultcray had already made plans to speak to his wife who had sounded less than pleased. He even went ahead and tried to speak to her through a crystal ball similar to a lacrima. However, it appeared that Mirellia didn't want to hear any of his poor excuses and was demanding his return.
Otherwise she would send more competent soldiers to force Aultcray's return and to see him as a threat if he resists. Things were spiraling out of control for the once wise and noble king. His love and devotion for both his country and family had been shadowed by his needless hate. The man was hoping his wife would see what he was doing is for the betterment of their family and home. Yet, it seems like the universe is plotting against his plans.
"Your majesty! Incoming threat!" a random soldier yelled.
Aultcray snapped out of his thoughts and exited his tent where he had been making plans with his loyal soldiers. Where he found many hybrids wearing the same black ooze as used on the prisoners in Konoha had appeared and began to attack his camp.
"Regroup and stand together! We cannot allow such a cowardly ambush overrun us!" Aultcray yelled as he prepared his soldiers for battle.
The hybrids were small in numbers, but they were quick, nimble and quite strong compared to an ordinary human. Though far from invincible and intelligent in battle. Capable of speaking and understanding, but not able to communicate and coordinate. About two dozen or so soldiers quickly fell as the creatures were able to shape their arms into that of weapons. Some being able to release a sticky residue that immobilized the soldiers.
Though as mentioned before, they were not invincible or intelligent when it came to the strategies of battle. As some of the mages on standby had started to cast fire magic onto them.
"They're weak to fire! The flames scare them like any animal should!" one mage yelled.
With that, the mages took charge as swords and any other sharp object wasn't enough. As the creatures would constantly regenerate or block them. Even the King had started to struggle as he took arms. Though he was much more of a tactical genius rather than a fighter, even if he was the Vassal Hero of the Staff.
"Don't just cast fire wildly! They are not smart, but they can still create more damage without harming us!" Aultcray warned.
The hybrids moved around like wild animals. While it seemed that fire is their direct weakness. Fire can spread if not controlled and aimed properly.
"Regroup, but only in clusters. Do not let yourself be cornered as to avoid more casualties." Aultcray adds as the damage to the camp continues to grow.
However, it seems as though they've won. As all of the hybrids stopped screaming upon death and there were none to be seen.
"Keep an eye out! The last thing we need is for them to be hiding!" Aultcray said, unaware of the ooze that was hiding on the bottom of his robes.
The next day, Hokage tower
Naruto sighed as he sat in the meeting room with Greyfarn and Minato.
"I know, quite unfortunate." the elder wizard said.
"That princess escaped. That is beyond unfortunate, it's a complete disaster." Naruto replied.
"Yes it is, for you. As long as she can't tamper with my lab and studies, I'm fine. Haha." Greyfarn said before he left the room.
"That could have gone better." Minato commented.
"So could have Kakashi, he's not an eunuch but now the female community hates him." Naruto points out.
"It's not the first time Kakashi said or did anything stupid. I never took my student for a neglectful father." Minato said, not even thinking about defending his student.
The conversation ended with the appearance of Vali then Alucard, "The portal works great. It feels like a light train ride." Vali said.
"Then you know the urgency of moving around. Now, what business is it that we need to finish?" Alucard said as the two took their seats.
"Hold on now, we have one more guest we need to wait for." Naruto said.
"Don't tell me it's grandma." Vali said with a shiver.
That's when the ANBU opened the doors to reveal Princess Kazumi of Long Zhi Ghou with her personal guards. However, as the princess began to prepare her greeting to the Hokage as a thanks for welcoming her. Her head looked towards Vali who suddenly grew pale as she narrowed her eyes at him. Kazumi's eyes suddenly turned into slits as she looked at Vali.
"Uh oh." Vali muttered.
"What did you do?" Alucard asked.
"Nothing!" Vali lied.
A few seconds later, outside
Licht felt nervous, "I still feel unsure about this Vetto. I know I can provide for the tribe, but with it expanding and even with the help of others. I feel unsure about myself and the welfare of our people." he told his friend.
"That's the thing Licht, it's okay to feel fear. It means you can understand others through your emotions." Vetto said trying to sympathize with his friend.
"I'm glad you care Vetto, but this is still so much and it's so foreign. Just look where we are now." Licht said as they suddenly heard glass break.
"What was that?" Vetto asked as they looked up.
They saw Vali crashing out of the window. As Kazumi proceeded to rapidly kick and punch him before sending him crashing into the ground. When they landed, Kazumi lifted up Vali by the scruff of his jacket.
"You try gain of passion with me and escape?" Kazumi asked.
Vali groaned in pain, "You were the one dressed like an exotic dancer." he replied before having a strong palm hit him in the gut. "That hurt." he muttered.
Naruto and Alucard looked down from the broken window, "Don't tell me he knocked her up." Naruto said.
"With this much destruction, I want to say no." Alucard said.
"How's Sophitia by the way?" Naruto asked.
"In better moods then the princess." Alucard answered.
A few minutes later
Back inside, Vali was being wrapped in bandages by Azazel who sensed the destruction, "Should have brought her breakfast in bed Vali. I thought I taught you better." He said to his surrogate son.
"You didn't teach me that." Vali replied.
Azazel chuckled before bowing to Kazumi, "Excuse him Princess, you've come so far only to see the mess of my emperor." he said.
"My rage is well controlled, Fallen Angel." Kazumi replied. "It's the matter of him escaping his duties." she said.
"May I ask what those duties are?" Azazel asked.
Kazumi raised her hand and several of her dragonic guards came in carrying a sensitive case holding a large egg. Azazel looked shocked as he looked at the massive egg.
"I want to say… congratulations?" Azazel asked, but Kazumi was not happy. "Please don't hit me." he pleaded.
The men looked at the egg in confusion, "I see the Year of the Dragon came early." Naruto said.
"I guess I was wrong, Vali knocked up the princess." Alucard said.
"And Kazumi is a royal, an egg this big is rare for a dragonoid." Naruto added.
"Time for a barbaric wedding!" Azazel said as Vali tried to crawl away only for Kazumi to kick him.
"What is going on!?" Minato asked.
"Vali here got a princess pregnant and she's punishing him." Azazel answered.
Minato sighed, "Why are there so many neglectful fathers all of a sudden?" he asked.
Licht sweat dropped, "I did not plan for this to be my career. What exactly is a barbaric wedding?" he asked.
"It means Vali will be chained up and dragged across the street to marry the woman he impregnated. All the while a wave of archers will prepare to shoot him if he runs." Alucard explained as Licht looked nervous.
"Oh good." Minato said sarcastically.
Why can delegations never go as planned?
TO BE CONTINUED…
Notes: Sorry for the super late posts everyone. I can't even begin to explain my super hectic schedule. Though I will have a lot to make up for this month. Anyways, for now I'll leave you all with this and hope to see you next time as the time skip comes closer.
Also, I have a new poll set up where I'll create a special one shot chapter for White Day (March 14). I hope you all check it out.
