New digs


    He tried to use the mangekyou on those chasing him but clearly hadn''t expected that they had not only known about it but even nned around the idea he''d use it. With his trump card rendered effectively useless and him trapped in a barrier with many powerful enemies while on the verge of death his end was the only oue that could have been expected. I got an odd sort of satisfaction knowing that I yed an instrumental part in his downfall. Of course while most of the important business was done there was onest thing to speak of.


    "I intend to purchase a property that the ns will not be happy with and need your help with it." I said to my sensei and she looked surprised.


    "I thought you had a ce in the forest of death, why the sudden interest in a vige property?" she asked curiously.


    "I have had my eye on that ce for years actually, theres something there drawing in arge amount of natural energy. If I didn''t own thend I''d have to share whatever I found after I dug into that spot but the ns jacked up the price for it so until the tournament Icked the funds to purchase it. Afterwards well... Danzo" I said honestly.


    "Hmmm where''s thend at as I can''t think of anywhere that would really cause the ns too much dissatisfaction, a little irritation perhaps but that should be it. No wait there was one spot... no way!" She said with a dumbfounded look.


    "Yeah that''s the one, right smack dab between three of the ns areas by the mountain. It''s pretty barren which is why I assume they haven''t just bought it themselves." I said with a shrug.


    "Ugh! If you buy thatnd those three ns are definitely going toin to me about it!" she said frustrated.


    "Nothing for it as I have to own the area to have that treasure to myself, Wouldn''t mind selling it to them after I dug it out but I had thought to build a house there for my beasts and I." I said honestly.


    "Really love to cause me headaches don''t you? Fine, go ahead with the purchase. I''ll deal with the ns when they inevitablye bother me over it but I fully expect you to hold an open house party when your house is done." she said firmly and I nodded.


    It wasn''t the most unreasonable demand considering the trouble this was going to give her so I had no problem with it. I got a really funny look from the vige real estate office worker when I walked in and outright purchased that dozen acre plot ofnd. They tried to convince me against it talking about how I would offend those three ns but I did it anyways. Once I had the deed in hand I wasted no time at all going past those three ns properties and to my new one.-


    Members from the ns showed up quickly once they figured out that I wasn''t here to visit someone from one of them but rather because I bought thatnd they had all but forgotten about that bordered the rear sections of their own properties. Legally speaking they couldn''t exactly kick me off my own property but that didn''t stop them from trying and failing horribly. I had already summoned all of my beasts minus my caterpir to this new piece ofnd and they did as any powerful animal would, protected their territory.-


    Admittedly it got a bit out of hand as even Jonin and elite Jonin were sent to "persuade" me to vacate the area. Thing was however they failed to do much persuading when they couldn''t even get past my beasts to so much as speak a word with me personally. No one died but some injuries were unavoidable when they refused to take no for an answer. I meanwhile was digging through the side of the mountain towards whatever was drawing in all this natural energy. As I got closer and closer I became more and more enthusiastic as the natural energy had a sort ofck of will that made me think it might indeed be a sort of metal vein.-


    Soon enough I broke through a wall of stone and found myself in a small crystal covered chamber like the inside of a massive geode. To my surprise however the item wasn''t an unliving object like I thought but a small tree with leaves, bark and the works except entirely made of crystal.


    ''That''s new.'' I thought in surprise when I first saw it.


    Walking around the tree I couldn''t help but marvel at it as despite not having any sunlight or even water it existed perfectly healthy and strong. I also couldn''t miss that it was many times easier to gather natural energy in this chamber near the tree than anywhere else.


    ''This ce will make a good meditation spot after a little renovation.'' I thought with a smile.


    Perhaps it wasn''t a treasure I could take and leave with but it was a treasure of great use none the less. A fitting sort of ce for a sage such as myself to live near and utilize in meditation. Before that though I needed to open up a tunnel to the chamber and tten the ground here since it was covered in sharp crystals at the moment.-


    I wasted no time at all starting either as I stomped on the sharp crystals snapping them and crushing them to sand. Repeating this process all over the chamber I eventually was left with a thickyer of sparkly sand covering the ground. Satisfied I then moved on to opening up the entrance I busted through with earth release chakra and oncerge enough moving forwards slowly widening and strengthening the tunnel as I went.-


    Eventually I came back out into the sunlight with a new tunnel perfectly formed behind me that went straight to the chamber.


    ''Looks like I''m rather popr with the neighbors already.'' I thought amused at the Mexican standoff between my beasts and the nsmen.


    "Awful lot of firepower to just say hi. What is this like three elite Jonin and six normal ones?" I said casually as I walked over to the edge of my property.


    "You! You are trespassing on private property and have caused so much damage but dare to act so casually!?" one of the elite Jonin demanded enraged.
