Chapter 14
~Timeskip 3 years~
A lot has changed in these three years in the ninja world. Most Hidden viges managed to recover most of the resources they lost in the ninja war. Which led most of them to make some moves. Especially Kumogakure.
Kumogakureunched an attack on Konoha in the disguise of peace talks. Their aim was to kidnap the Hyuga princess and bring the Hyuga bloodline into Kumogakure. This way they could also have the Byakugan in Kumogakure. But unfortunately the kidnappers were stopped by the Hyuga patriarch. In his rage he killed the enemy ninjas giving the Hidden cloud a reason to start the war. They demanded Konoha to give them the killer of their ninjas. They were hoping this would give them a valid reason to start the war, after all no vige wanted to be branded the bad guy. But to their utter disappointment The third Hokage agreed to hand over the killer.
This action of the third hokage put the Hyuga n in a difficult spot. Although most of the Hyuga n elders would like to let Hiashi take the me, they cannot allow the n to be humiliated and let the byakugan spread to other ninja viges. So they decided to select a scapegoat for them. And that scapegoat became Hizashi Hyuga the younger brother of Hiashi and the leader of the branch family.
Hiashi argued with elders for hours to save his brother''s life, to him his brother’s life is worth more than a n that wanted to cripple their own people. But he was finally stopped by Hizashi.
Hizashi then sacrificed himself to Kumo ninjas to save his elder brother. But unlike the cannon he didn’t kill himself in the npound but he went on a suicide mission. After he was brought away from Konoha he broke through his restraints and killed more than 20 elite Kumo ninjas. The reports say that just when they were about toe near a Kumo hideout he went on this rampage.
His body was not retrieved due to the fact that he killed himself with thest remaining elite ninja with an explosion tag. Due to this explosion both the elite ninja and Hizashi’s bodies were turned into ash. If not for the eyewitnesses from the reinforcement team Kumo would have believed that Konoha secretly rescued Hizashi.
And weirdly enough Kumo didn’t pursue this matter again. Normally they would demand Konoha to pay morepensation with excuses like ‘ you ordered Hizashi to kill our ninjas ‘. But this time they couldn’t do that. In the investigation they found that the explosion tag that was used in the battle was from a Kumo ninja who was found dead in battle.
Unlike the standard Explosion tag this one was brought from the underworld making it quite valuable. Reports say that he purchased this explosion tag to kill his girlfriend who was cheating with a weapon merchant. His n was to kill both of them in an explosion making it look like an ident. In fact he was about to kill both of them aftering back from the mission. He nned so that no one would suspect him as he just got back from a mission.
The Hidden concluded that Hizashi on his way to Kumo spotted the explosion tag so he decided to do ast mission to the vige. As they say a dead man has very little loose after all.
Since Kumogakure didn’te for more trouble Konoha once again returned into an era of peace. But the unity ns had to the vige waspletely strained. The Uchiha were somehow med for not protecting the vige enough, ns like the Nara, Akimichi and Yamanakapletely stopped supporting the third hokage and the council. They didn’t like what the vige did to the Hyuga n. The Hyuga npletely changed. Hiashi stopped being passive. He aggressively started to suppress every elder who aided the vige in sacrificing his brother.
The smaller ns also began to distance themselves from the vige. Except for the Anbu, no one wanted to help in the vige''s urgent quests. This made the situation quite awkward for the Hokage faction. Without ninjas who willingly took any urgent missions they were slowly losing their source of ie.
One must know that to issue an urgent mission one must pay twice the price that is normally required. So the vige usually earns a huge profit bypleting these missions. These missions are quite special as there is a high risk in these tasks. It wouldn’t be surprising if the C rank mission suddenly turned B rank.
This wouldn’t happen in normal missions as the vige would investigate the mission first. This way they wouldn’t have to sacrifice their precious ninja’s needlessly to missions that turned from C to A.
And of course the vige takes the necessary costs from the mission fee. Normally no one would notice this as the standard prices are already made after adding the investigation fee. The anbu would mostly take the investigation tasks of A to S rank. And if they are able to finish the mission they would also do it and submit it. So this way they would earn twice the money as they werepleting two quests at once.
And in urgent missions no investigation team would so the vige cannot order the ninjas toplete them. This would make them look like the viins and if many ninja’s rebel from the vige because of this decision the vige would only suffer. And they couldn’t just order the anbu to do all of these tasks since there are way more important matters they are needed.
So they would be in a dilemma until a certain someonees to the vige. Whether her visit would be a blessing or a curse is uncertain. After all, long lived beings rarely tend to followmon sense. And the said being is now chatting happily with a person who should be dead.
In one of the guest rooms in Japan there were both Izanami and Hizashi sipping their tea with a serene expression. The room looked like it was from the Hyuga n due to their simr descines. And on the floor there were tatami mats making it a perfect Japanese traditional house.
This room was made to amodate people who would be called traditional. And like this room there are countless other rooms specially made for different themes. If your guest is a youth who is barely in his twenties they would be escorted to a room where most furniture and decorations are modern.
This is mainly to make the other party rx and make it easier to do the negotiations. Of course this knowledge came from izanami who once saw it in one of her favorite anime.
“ So Hizashi, how does it feel to die once. “ Izanmai asked after she finished her cup of tea.
