After leaving Konoha, Menma is wandering around in Fire nation. He is rogue ninja for four other Shinobi village. If he didn't played his card well. He would be a rogue ninja everywhere. So he cannot go to other nation for now in his real form.
He also knows that the advice which he gave to Konoha, will not be fully exercised. As they would face Nine tail this year. And he is keeping himself far away from konoha. They traded him to cloud even if he went there Cloud by himself. It doesn't make any less that they traded him for their own benefit.
So he will not be around konoha at nine tail attack. And his plan will not be implemented on a large scale. And he also took a small revenge by not informing or telling them about from nine tail attack and Obito plans. His interferance can make it worse. So he decided to let the fate guide the Konoha.
He has also got permission from Mintao about learning Rasengan and to acquire its true form. That is his main goal to be not look like a thief. So he met Minato and told him that he can learn Rasengan easily and can further its chnage of nature. Minato didn't mind his words. But even encouraged him. He even showed him his Rasegan. After Menma requested to see it. Jiraya and Shikaku were there. Jiraya even boastfully told him that it will take decades for Menma to learn the adavnced chakra change in Rasengan. He didn't comment on Menma not learning Rasengan. Shikaku maintained his silence on this matter.
-Fire country-
-Unknown village-
This village was suffering some disease. And the villagers are unable to go to Doctors as Third ninja war just finished. Menma arrived and treated them for very small fees.
The village head thanked Menma, " Menma kun, you are so young but you treated all our villagers. I am very grateful to you."
The villagers around him are also grateful. It is been two weeks, Menma came and healed every one. He stayed to check their conditions. He even gave them some small tips. Like boiling water and how to maintain a hygiene and free fever life.
Menma said, " I am a doctor. And I will save life if I meet a sick person. I already charged a fee to all of you. Their is no need to be so grateful."
Menma tried to desuade the situation as merely a Doctor healing sick people for fees. But the villagers didn't see it like that.
Village head said, " We know that much fees is very small compared to a real doctor fees. You are just trying to humble yourself. You are our saviour."
The villagers also agreed with the head of their village with a nod. Menma sighed but didn't say anything. He already packed his bags.
One villagers asked, " Menma kun, where are you going. You can stay in our village and we will treat you with utmost respect and honour."
Every villagers nod with him. But Menma shook his head and said, " I cannot stay in one place. I have my own reasons. I will also visit other villages who doesn't have a doctor in my free time."
The villagers didn't stop him this time.
Village head asked, " Menma kun, where are going after those villgaers get cured."
They heard about Menma and the know his history as a ninja and a famous figure in Third ninja war.
Menma said, "After curing the Villagers nearby and advising them about precautions. I will go to Fire country capital to meet Damiyo."
The villagers didn't understand why Menma wanted to meet Damiyo.
Another villager asked, " Why are going to meet Damiyo?"
Menma has a smile on his face, " I have a business with him. A secret business between me and damiyo. Don't tell anyone I am going to meet him. It is a secret for now."
The villagers nodded his head.
After some time. They gave a big farewell to Menma who left the village.
What Villagers didn't know was that Menma who left them is a clone. The real one was killing some rogue ninja and bounty hunters in the outskirts and put them in scrolls. He also saw a root ninja but the root ninja just got a beating and message for Danzo.
The message was very simple, to keep his nose out of his business in a very impolite tone. He even send a letter to Hokage. About his encounter with Rogue ninjas with their name and list. And the injured root shinobi name and his description.
His bat messenger flew and went to Fourth Hokage. They know that if he encounter something he will semd his bat as a messanger. It reached within a day to Fourth Hokage office and unsummoned itself after the message scroll is in the hands of Shokaku Nara.
Meanwhile real Menma already reached another civilian village.
-A month later-
Menma reached the capital of Fire Nation. He got an appointment as he is very famous recently after Third ninja war. He is less famous than Minato and Third Raikage but he has his own small legend. So he got an appointment for a day later.
That night Menma sneaked inside the Damiyo mansion and even some ninjas who are for his security didn't detect it. Menma planted a seal on Damiyo and left the mansion like nothing happened on that day.
-Next day-
Damiyo court made him wait a little. Menma waited in a room for twenty minutes. Then he is called inside. Damiyo court people are trying to show their influence and power infornt of Menma. Not all people are caring and some only care of their power only.
Damiyo has no change what so ever. They didn't even know what Menma did a day ago to their Damiyo when they are drunk in their power.
Menma did the courtsey as a citizen of Fire nation infornt of Damiyo. He kneeled and introduced himself, " I am Satoshi Menma of clan Satoshi, milord."
Some nobles snorted at his words. Menma noticed it from the corner of his eyes. Menma knows that Danzo should have some backers inside this place.
Damiyo looked happy after he heard his name, "You are Menma. I heard a lot about you from Hiruzen and Minato. A person like you is worthy of our praise."
Another nobel said, " Lord Damiyo, he is too young to be considered as a Hokage candidate. We should reinstate Danzo as a Hokage candidate."
Some Nobel's agreed with him. But another Nobel said, " Why we should reinstate such a person? His reputation is very low in konoha and even in fire nation. He didn't participate directly in second and third ninja war. After first war, he is hiding inside the konoha. If we want an old hokage, then we should have never let Hiruzen retire in the first place."
Many nobels nodded their head. Looks like Hiruzen had a large number of supporters. His words shut the previous nobels.
Menma remained silent during their discussion. He only observed their faces. Not everyone is corruption free.
Damiyo clapped his hands once and eveyone attention is on him. Damiyo asked, " What can I do for you Menma kun? I don't believe you came here just so see me. I heard about your intelligence many times."
Damiyo doesn't even realise his body is one step away from being controlled by Menma.
Menma took out a scroll and many Samurai around Damiyo are in full alert immediately. But from Scroll came a medium size box with artistic engravings. Menma didn't wait and opened it and Damiyo's court went silent. As they can see the largest pearl in their life. It can be said to be the world largest pearl. Menma brought it from the summoning realm.
Nobles like to own rare and shiny things. Especially when it has no match among other nobels or damiyo. Menma knows how higher ups in any world thinks. Same is true for this Damiyo court.
Damiyo immediately got up and with a wide opened mouth. He immediately calm himself and asked, " Menma kun, do you really want to sell this largest Pearl to us. I have never seen this kind of beautiful and largest pearl. It should be of highest quality. The shine and texture alone can make it so beautiful."
Everyone thought the same thing. As many merchants come and show their goods to come under the good side or sell them at a higher price.
Menma has a smile on his face. And many nobels knew at that time. That this small is nothing they can intimidate in political place.
Menma said, " Lord Damiyo, this is my gift for you. As you have supported my claim as a Hokage candidate for sixth hokage. It was found by my summoning animal inside his realm. He even told me that it is the largest pearl he has encountered in his life. I heard from third Hokage that you didn't even hesitate and gave your full permission for the three promises given by Third Hokage. So I thought about meeting you and give you this Pearl as a gift."
Third Hokage never said such thing to Menma or Damiyo, but Damiyo still nodded his head. The seal inside the head of Damiyo made him to agree with Menma immediately. But he can see the greed of Damiyo for Pearl on his face. Looks like he didn't even need the seal for his confirmation.
Damiyo immediately said, " I accept your gift Menma kun. It will certainly boast the reputation of Fire nation among other nations. I as a Fire Damiyo, give a decree now, that no one can question Satoshi Menma as Sixth hokage candiate from now on. It is not for debate. And the three promises made by Hiruzen will be closely watched to be fulfilled by the Damiyo court to be completed even after I die."
The sudden declaration of Damiyo caught every nobel off-guard. Some nobel can understand as the pearl will go for atleast three hundred millions if Menma asked for a price. If he auctioned it, it would have gone for even billion ryo. It is a priceless treasure for nobels.
The lady Damiyo is nearby. After she heard commotion she also came and saw the pearl and Lord Damiyo face full of happiness. She took her place beside Damiyo. Both are looking at each other full of shining eyes and happiness.
The Pearl is handed with the box to a samurai. The samurai immediately gave it to Damiyo. Lord and Lady Damiyo inspected it.
After he saw his lady is so happy after looking at the largest pearl. Lord Damiyo said, " Well, you made my lady so happy. Do you want to join politics or something? I can see, you also have a political and smart mind for such things. Or do you want to join my future Fire twelve shinobi squad for sometime."
Damiyo wanted to know what is going inside the head of Menma. Even though his own head can be controlled by Menma at any time.
Menma shook his head and said, " I came to see the lord Damiyo in a good faith. And the gift is for what lord Damiyo has done for me indirectly. I am now retired Shinobi. I will roam the world to see its beauty."
Damiyo nodded his head at Menma humble words. Looks like Menma is not here to ask for any other favours directly.
Lady Damiyo said, " Menma kun, you can enjoy the hospitality of Damiyo's house as you came with a gift and it will be a priceless treasure to our house for generations."
Lord Damiyo nodded his head at that time. He added, " You can stay in our house as a guest till you remain in Capital. "
Menma accepted it immediately. Soon his deeds as a Doctor to common people also reached to Damiyo court after a week. But Menma already gone by that time.
Menma made a good impression on Lady Damiyo before he left. Damiyo decree also reached to Minato before Menma left the capital. Danzo is not happy after hearing that Menma crushed his only hope this time.
