Mei was stuck in a loop of thoughts. She was sent here to protect the Daimyo. But, she also knew that the Daimyo was a scum of a man and didn’t deserve to have anything that he had right now.

She also hated the bloody habits of her village. She herself had survived the now banned infamous graduation tests of Ninja academy in the past. She had to kill her opponent to pass or die herself. ​​

She had first-hand seen the violence. But she tried her best to not let the hatred change her heart and turn her like many missing-nins. She wanted to be the hope for her village.

Mei had purposefully tried to develop her mind different from others. She was a kind and cheerful person, speaking well of others and attempting to avoid conflict. She was more open-minded than the other Kirigakure shinobi, as she had shown respect and was willing to listen to others.

“This man here is THE feudal lord of the Water Country. He has the authority to do anything, to even dictate what goes on in your village. He could cut the funding to put pressure on them to change their violent ways, yet he did nothing. Here he is, enjoying each meal like there’s no tomorrow because he has money for himself so why care?” Shiroken said.

“But who are you? Why do you want to help us?” Mei asked him.

“My family was taken by your Kirigakure. I have just returned to get them back. And I have the power, so I am putting the Daimyo on the right path.” He revealed.

“What family? I can help you get them back.” She assured him.

He chuckled, “Huh, you can not. The person I’m looking for is a missing-nin now.”

“Who is it?” She inquired.

“The 6-tails Jinchuriki,” Shiroken revealed.

She was taken aback, “You… Utakata is your family?”

“No, not him, the being locked inside him is my family. Hashirama, that maniac sold him to you, performing an act of slavery.” Shiroken announced.

“B-But they are just beasts…” She muttered.

Shiroken scoffed, “Forcing an intelligent being to do something against their will is called slavery. Now, you can go back to Kirigakure and inform your village about this. Or, stay with me and overthrow the Kirigakure government. So a new and more peaceful one can be found.”

The idea was enticing but she was not too sure, “And what gives you the confidence that you can do it?”

“You can try,” Shiroken didn’t even take a stance and just waved his hand to taunt her. The Daimyo was still held in his right hand.

Mei decided to take the shot. She ran at him and at the same time used her Lava Release Kekkei Genkai. “Lava Release: Melting Apparition!”

A strong acidic mudflow came out of her mouth as she reached Shiroken. The mud fell on Shiroken, but he was unharmed.

“AAAAAAAA…”

The same could not be said about the Daimyo. Some mud fell on him too and now he was losing his skin.

Mei instead of saving the Daimyo physically attacked Shiroken with her kunai.

*BAM*

Shiroken caught her hand with ease and looked her in the eyes, “I have nothing but pity and mercy for the innocents, but people like him… They deserve to die.”

*BOOM*

*WOOSH*

“AAAAAAA…”

Shiroken threw a fireball at the Daimyo’s face, then a jet of water, erasing the flesh from his face while the man cried in inhuman pain. Then a gust of wind came, slashing the body of Daimyo from various places, leaving him bloody on the ground.

“Get up, I am not done yet,” Shiroken said to the Daimyo on the ground. Next, he just stomped his feet on the ground.

*BAM*

All of a sudden the ground lifted the Daimyo’s body and made him stand up, albeit with support.

“Don’t fall unconscious now, let’s wake you up.” Shiroken pointed his finger at the man.

*ZZZZZ…*

Bolts of lightning came out and woke the Daimyo up with him screaming in pain. But now, he didn’t even look like a man, he was unrecognisable.

Shiroken for the last time looked at the shocked face of Mei, “You must be thinking about me, that this is such a cruel man. Fine, I will show him mercy.”

Shiroken put his arm an inch away from the Daimyo’s face. A green light all of a sudden covered the body.

Then, in front of all, the flesh grew back on Daimyo’s face and body, his wounds healed and his face that was unrecognisable got healed. He soon returned back to the earlier condition when he was still eating.

“After watching all this, what did you learn about me?” He asked Mei. The Daimyo was cheering for his life on the side.

Mei was silent. She gulped, and yet her throat felt as dry as a desert. “Y-You have an affinity with all known five elemental transformations. Even the two nature transformations Yin and Yang. W-WHO ARE YOU?!”

She understood how great such powers were. It is technically possible to master all five natures, it’s just very rare because of how much training it requires. This was so rare that she even knows the names of shinobi capable of using all five natures, which includes Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Mū, the 2nd Tsuchikage. Only Hiruzen was alive now.

But, what made her really shocked and awestruck was the fact that Shiroken had also mastered Yin and Yang. This practically made him godlike, since he could cure people like it was nothing.

“I have told you my name. Now it’s time you tell me your choice. Are you going to join me and bring a better future for your village or try to stop me, meet your end, and not live up to see your village prosper?” He asked her. But he put his focus again on the Daimyo.

“What do you mean? Even if I die here, how will it prosper?” Mei asked him nervously.

*SLAP*

Shiroken slapped the Daimyo. What he was doing was playing with the mind of the man. He was breaking him, to make him his own pawn.

“Of course, I came to this country, one of the reasons was to put Kirigakure on the right path. Whether you live or die today, I will stop the bloody ways of your village.” He declared.

*SLAP*

“W-Why are you slapping me?” The daimyo asked with a swollen face.

“Because I want to kill you, but I want to give you another chance. As long as you accept a few conditions.” He threatened him.

“ANYTHING! Just don’t kill me.”

Shiroken just took out a scroll and made him sign it, “Use your whole palm to sign it.”

The Daimyo didn’t even read the scroll and signed it. It clearly said that he was submitting to a man named Shiroken Dama, the Supreme Daimyo of the world. That from now on, his authority will be under Shiroken and he can be removed from office if he messes up.

Shiroken didn’t bother to tell him what was in it. In due time he would know it. He folded the scroll and gave one copy to him.

“I… you are so young, how did you master all these elements?” Mei inquired.

Shisui and Tenken chuckled. Shiroken sighed, “Don’t be fooled by looks, young girl. My age is multiple times yours.”

Her eyes widened. “B-But… you looked so handsome… how can you be an old man?”

Shiroken frustratedly replied, “Hey, who said I am an old man. Tell me, would you call a whale that lives for 400 hundred years ‘old’ when it’s just 100 years old?”

“You mean, your natural lifespan is too long? That’s… much harder to believe. Anyway, what’s the plan?” She asked cheerfully. It seemed she had wholeheartedly accepted Shiroken’s identity with some doubts over his age.

~I judged her character right~ Shiroken thought with his successful persuasion.

“Well, Zabuza here will create a distraction and lead all the Kirigakure Shinobi outside, I will deal with them at once. Then we will find the Mizukage.” He planned.

*BLINK* *BLINK*

Mei looked at the brown-haired man, “This man… He is Zabuza?”

Zabuza took down his wig and showed his real face.

*BONK*

Zabuza got smacked on his head by Shiroken, “Who told you to take that off? We still have use for it.”

“Hehe…” Haku laughed seeing Zabuza so helplessly being manhandled. Even Mei was startled to see how Zabuza was being treated.

After that, they all left the palace and headed to Kirigakure.

…

In the Daimyo’s Palace,

Now that Shiroken was gone, Daimyo took a sigh of relief. He took the scroll and read it slowly. His body started to sweat and shiver.

“THIS… WHAT HAVE I DONE!” He realised the mess.

“You did the right thing. Now be a good servant to me, do as I say and you can live. Disobey and this will happen to you.” A voice resounded in the hall. Just then a root came out of the floor, the root enlarged and took the shape of Shiroken. It was the Wood Clone Technique. Shiroken had seen Hashirama do it once in battle. It was a very convenient jutsu.

The clones can be as simple in function as a wooden dummy for use in the Body Replacement Technique or completely mobile and able to perform jutsu. They have the ability to travel far from the user and are able to communicate with the original. Moreover, since the wood clone has the ability to merge with plants and trees, it is also great for reconnaissance missions.

Shiroken had left this one behind to do two things. One, to kill all the remaining nobles, except the Daimyo. And keep the Daimyo under control.

“I will be watching you.” The clone warned him and slowly disappeared.

…

Shiroken enjoyed the fact that his first mission was so successful, ~It sure was easy to bring the Daimyo under my thumb. But this will likely not be the case with the remaining big countries~

Water Country was distant and not connected, so information does not travel fast. But the other countries were connected and if he is not careful, the others will know about the oncoming threat of Shiroken and try to save the Daimyo will all their might, probably starting a full war.
