Chapter 208: Shade and Light
Capital of Whirlpool.
Daimyo Residence.
Two Men and a Woman was sitting on a luxurious table, dinning and wining withmodities out of this world.
Britannia'' red was poured generously, while politeughter took over the room.
A Man wearing a Daimyo attire, wasughing kindly, as he was absorbed in themodities of his visitors.
He spoke with the same effeminate arrogance known to the Daiymo of this world:
"Mister Schneizel.There is no doubtI have received your sincerity"
He narrowed his eyes, looking at the Blond handsome man, with clear eyes and a dashing gentle smile on. He couldn''t help but feel envy in his heart.
He didn''t know whyAnd he certainly wouldn''t pry further. But this man.Suddenly Became the Daiymo of the Water.
The Water and Whirlpool are on the same maritime area, soIt is a little easier for him to pry some information.
He already knewOf the subtle changes going on in the country
Not only the Daiymo had changedBut Kiri has a New MizukageIt was a real change in the Leadership of the Country.
He didn''t know who the Fushia Haired beauty was.But he knew she wasn''t by any meaning easy.
Still in front of these two mysterious people who only expressed good will for himIt was difficult for him to reject them
NoSeeing his current situationHe couldn''t afford to be picky
The other nobles didn''t know it
Even the Uzumaki n was still in denial about it. But their country was in grave danger
Schneizel sighed:
"Daimyo of the WhirlpoolsIt is a beautifulnd that you have here."
"Beautiful scenery of water and forestsIt''s a little bit like a fairy tale"
He spoke as he drank his wine, he then smiled mildly:
"The only thing that seems to be out of ce"
".Seems to be the burning sun"
The Daimyo immediately had a stifled smile as he seemed to understand the underlying meaning of the Blond Man.
"If I am correctAren''t you more of a shade man yourself.?"
Cornelia by the sideughed unbridled:
"Indeed he must find all that ''light'' unbearable."
Schneizel had a dispirited expression on his face:
"What a shameThe Shade seem to have left your territorypletelyDaimyo-sama"
The Daiymo had a deep glint in his eyes as he responded:
"You sure have a discerning eyeAs expected of the Daimyo of the Water"
Schneizel smiled:
"Your country is on a really dangerous territory"
"The Whirpool and Uzushiogakure have flourished under the shade of the two Colossus know as Konoha and Fire Country"
"But those days areing to an end."
The Daimyo then sighed
There are different reasons to the current issue. The first and the Foremost is the happenings of the First Shinobi World War.
After the Fight at the Valley of the End
Senju Hashirama seemed to be nearing the end of his lifespan.
The Usage of the Mokuton and his injuries from the fights seemed to demand too much from his body.
ButMore importantlyIt became evident from Hashirama''sissez faire attitudeThat even in the eventuality of a full-blown conflictAnd even in the eventuality of the defeat of all the Countries would still have a way out.
After all, didn''t even their most hated ennemies, the Uchiha find a way out?
Knowing that.The First Shinobi World War broke out!!
The First Shinobi World War had it''s ups and downs.And at firstThe Little Whirlpool country seemed only a backward isted country not even worth destroying in the grand scheme of things
However, as the conflict was getting fiercer and fiercer.Konoha and the Fire required the help of the Whirlpool country.
This was when all the issues started.
The Uzumaki head and the Current Daimyo had differing opinions.
The Daimyo of a weak country was much more resourceful and cautious then the Daimyo of a great one.
In this world only the Five great countries could afford to not worry aboutplete obliteration!!!
As for the weaker countries, they are like weeds in the wind, they are easily destroyed and easily rebuilt.
Even Orochimaru would eventually build a vige of his own
The same could be said of their Daimyos.
And if there was something the Daimyo of the Whirlpool knew deeply after surviving the Warring States Period was that the best way to get obliterated was to stand out.
On the other hand.
The Uzumaki nThe Head n of Uzushiohad a blood rtionship with the Senju n.And had a totally different view.
Hashirama had a weird charisma to him that was difficult to resistAnd the Uzumaki n Head was also one of his victims. And more than anything he was married to Mito Uzumaki.
The result wasThat the Daimyo refused but the vige wanted to go help their blood allies!!!
The Daimyo was categorical.He wouldn''t allow the Uzumaki n to roam the Battlefield and bring disaster upon his country!!!
He wouldn''t provide warfunds and would even delegate his missions to other viges cutting the life line of his own vige
The Daimyo knew the prowessOf this nTheir real powers wouldn''t pale inparison with the Uchiha and Senju ns
He was even sure of it!!! The real reason the Uzumaki n are known more for their sealsthan for their humongous physique or their endless chakraIs because he decided to keep them out of the battlefield and only delegated mission in weak countries!!!
UnwillingThe Vige Head could only head his orders.But
What he didn''t seeing was what happened next. Riddled with frustrationThe Uzamaki n instead ofying lowDecided to sell all their seals to Konoha!!!
Actually some even disobeyed and entered the battlefield.
Of course he made sanctions.
Buthis meagre funds, werepletely reced by the Fire Daimyo''s
Even if the Daiymo had a certain level of authority, he couldn''t possibly intervene in the private dealings of a Shinobi n and he couldn''t forcibly stop the vige either.
For this moveKonoha was grateful, so grateful they decided to adorn their symbol on their backsEspecially the Senju n
But the Daimyo of FireHim will never forgetThatin their times of needTheir close allies of the Whirlpool decided to abandon them!!
The First Shinobi World War ended
And the Seals of the Uzumaki n that wreaked havoc on the world became known through the Five Great Countries!!!
Worse!!!
The Senju n that seemed that will continue to grow endlessly suddenly declined until only Mito Uzumaki and two of her grandchildren remained!!
The Second followed the First in the grave not long after!!
And the Tobirama Team took over the Leaf!!
The Tobirama Team who didn''t belong to any powerful n in particr.
But the Daimyo of Fire never forgot his grudge!!
The rtionship between the two, already thinned in a never seen before form.
The Daiymo was at his wits end
Be it him or the Uzumaki n both their actions brought disaster.
As Schneizel said
The Uzumaki n brought the light of fame to thisnd.
And the Daimyo lost the Shade of the Fire Country!!
At this point, the only thing keeping everything at bayis Mito Uzumaki and her sessor''s presence in the country
When Mito reaches her limits and demands a new Jinchuriki!! The Moment the child reaches Konoha
The Country will be doomed!!
The Five other Countries will never tolerate the existence of a Sixth Force that could influence the world Wars to such a degree!!
ObliviousThe Uzumaki n still think that Konoha would help them!!!
That the Senju-less brimming with Uchiha Konoha, wille save them!!!
The Third who inherited Tobirama and Hashirama''s will may move. He may even disobey the fire Daimyo. The issue is here
Was that young Sarutobi who never have gone to war as a Kage until now capable of moving the Uchiha and Hyuuga n for an ally of the Senju n?
And is Sarutobi decisive enough to ignore all the other vulturesDanzo, Utatane and Koharu who already view the Uzumaki as a second Uchiha n?
There is not only one issueIt''s never one reason that leads to the demise of a country.
There are numerous issuesNumerous contradictions, numerous schemes and profits
That will lead to the obliteration of the whole Country. Some little some big umtes over time
The two Nobles in front of him seem to already know of the situation.
He smiled lightly:
"You knowThey already starting the preparations."
Schneizel spoke withmentations:
"The Shinobi World already suffered so much.Yet the different viges are only thinking about destructionSigh"
"The Mizukage already received an offer from the Rock and the Thunder."
"The Kazekage and the other Kages too"
The Daimyo felt a chill running down his spine!
Cornelia spoke with an extremely calm tone:
"The Moment.Mito reaches her limit.is the moment they will make their move"
The Daimyo narrowed his eyes:
"I already know thatPlease tell me something I do not know"
Schneizelughed.
"IndeedI can''t afford to waste Daimyo-sama''s precious time"
Cornelia also had a wide grin:
"Alright"
"Here is something you don''t know."
"We are here to lend you a hand"
"The Wind and The Water country have no intention of destroying the WhirlpoolNot for now anyway."
The Daimyo had a cautious look on his face:
"Really?"
"WaitThe Lady here"
"YesI am Cornelia.The Daimyo of the Wind"
Orochimaru was immediately startled! He was keeping up with the conversation and he already understood that this wasn''t about building some port:
"The Wind too?"
"This is getting dangerous"
The Daimyo narrowed his eyes:
"You should understand"
"Your deal sound too good to be true."
Cornelia smirked:
"What other choice do you have?"
Schneizel on the other side had aprehensive look on his face:
"I understand your position.But think of this tooWhy would I lie to you?"
"Why would I need to scheme against youWhen you could be easily crushed, in the next years"
Schneizel savored his wine before continuing
"I said you lost your shade."
"You didn''t contradict me"
The Daimyo had some bitterness in his eyes
"I am sure you think it is the Uzumaki n''s fault"
"But it is yours too"
"Being too cautiousis also a bad trait."
"If you have enough potential and don''t exploit itThen you are only waiting for decline and destruction"
"The Uzumaki n''s potential rivaled the Senju, the Uchiha and Hyuuga nYet it was wasted by you."
"Do not mistake your dreams for realityIn the Game of WarsThere is no such thing as ying-low''"
"Either you survive by trampling others, or you slowly wither with time."
The Daimyo sighed deeply.The eyes of the Vizir were profound with a tinge of evil in his eyes, that was barely noticeable.
It could be said that since the Emperor began it''s slumberThe Supreme Council finally felt the pressure of the Astaroth Continent.
The Different wars between the states were even moreplex than when he was the First Minister in Britania.And some truths became even more evident!!
He sighed:
"You made a mistake thest time and you lost your shade."
"I am here to bring you a much.much bigger shade to rely on."
The Daimyo took a deep breath:
"Do you mean the Water Country''s?"
Corneliaughed at this answer.
"Daimyo of the Whirlpool."
Her eyes were shinning with a strange light.
"From where do you think my brother and me came from?"
