Chapter 345: Amegakure Upgraded
Alexander raised an eyebrow, "And why do you think I can do that?"
"Because you are able to control the tailed beasts and there are no Senju left this means you are an unknown Uchiha and have the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan that can do this," Itachi answered this time.
Alexander looked back at all the tailed beasts in their small form as they looked at him. Then he looked back at the two kids. They all suddenly start laughing,
"Hahaha, kids, I think you just had the biggest misunderstanding of the century. Neither am I an Uchiha nor am I controlling these little potatoes. They are following me on their own because they want to." Alexander explained to them.
Both of them looked shocked. Itachi quickly argued, "How is that possible? They are ferocious uncontrollable beasts who only destroy. They are known to be violent."
*Sigh*
Alexander picked little Shukaku and brought him to Itachi\'s face.
"Look at this small boy, does he look violent to you? He is the one tail." He introduced the Raccoon beast.Shukaku and Itachi first had a small staring contest with each other.
*BAM*
Then suddenly Shukaku slapped Itachi\'s face with his soft sandy palms. It didn\'t hurt him at all. "Yo, kid, I am Shukaku, the mighty one-tailed beast."
"Also the weakest of us," Chomei interjected.
Shukaku angrily looked back, "Oh really? Your number of tails equals to power theory is false. Come, I\'ll whoop all your asses and prove you wrong."
"Okay okay, no fighting in the streets. Be good." Alexander quickly defused the situation before it escalated.
Itachi then looked at the Fat cat with a huge creepy grin in the blue-haired woman\'s arms. "What beast is that?"
"AY!, I\'m no beast. I am the \'GOD of CHAOS,\'" Hats retorted.
"He\'s just a messed up cat. Ignore him." Alexander stopped Hats from doing something stupid now.
"Tell me who told you to find me. I want you to be honest." He confronted them straightforwardly.
Itachi answered him truthfully, "My father did. He is the Uchiha clan head."
"And let me guess, he wanted you to do this so you can get stronger and one day become the clan head?" Alexander asked.
Itachi just nodded his head. He then received head pats from him. "How old are you, kid?"
"Four years old," Itachi replied.
"That\'s pretty small. Okay, you two are not going to go back. Welcome to the party, get in line, and follow." He told them and started walking away.
"Are we hostages?" Shisui asked seriously.
"No, unlike all those so-called great villages, I don\'t hurt children or send them to fight men\'s war. We will be going to Konoha soon. Before that, we will be going to Kumogakure." Alexander replied.
"But why should we follow you?" Shisui asked.
"I may not have Sharingan but I can still do many cool things. Don\'t you want to learn that?" He asked and started flying in the air.
*SNAP*
A snap of his finger made a dog cosplay appear on Hats. Hats jumped in shock and tried to take it off.
Shisui and Itachi looked at everything like they were seeing a genjutsu. Shisui even used his Sharingan and made sure it was no genjutsu, or maybe the genjutsu was even stronger than his Mangekyo Sharingan.
He had not told anyone about his Mangekyo yet. He knew what kind of trouble it would make for him. It would also have put more pressure on Itachi to perform better and also get a Mangekyo.
They simply followed Alexander after that. Flying in the air was a tempting ability no matter what age.
...
Iwagakure had stopped sending its forces to attack after the Kannabi bridge was destroyed. Their supply chain was broken now and they had no time to build the bridge again. So, they were out of the war, even though they started it.
But this did not mean all problems were solved for them. They still had to deal with Sunagakure and Kumogakure who were still active at their borders.
At the same time, the information about Alexander taking over Amegakure spread throughout all the villages like wildfire. But all of them refrained from provoking him as it was now confirmed that he had six tailed beasts.
In fact, Konoha had extra intel because Minato personally confronted him. Not just that, most clan heads now didn\'t want to see Alexander as an enemy after finding out how he saved Rin and Kakashi and also Konoha from destruction by the hands of three-tails.
Minato also told them that the tailed beasts were not under any mind control and seemed to follow him on their free will. He told them that the man was called Sage of Beasts but they still weren\'t ready to accept that.
"The war is as good as over right now. Iwagakure is going to send a heavy attack on Kumogakure. We should also do that. Iwa is no threat to us anymore. Sunagakure doesn\'t have any tailed beasts left and would not try to find trouble with us.
"However, Kumo still has two tailed beasts left. They will surely bring them to fight this time. Our focus will be to capture or kill these tailed beasts no matter what. I have also removed Danzo from the council for his violation of the chain of command and acting on his own in Amegakure," Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed his men. He didn\'t want to do this to Danzo but he had no choice as everyone was angry at him for giving so much freedom to Danzo.
"Who do you want to send to the battle this time, Hokage-sama?" Minato asked.
Hokage smoked his pipe and said, "Everyone. We will send every powerhouse of Konoha. Jiraiya, Sakumo, Shikaku, Heads of various clans too."
"What about this Sage of Beasts? We must make contact with him sooner rather than later. We can\'t wait for him to come to us." Minato voiced. He was concerned for Kushina.
"Wait, why didn\'t you say my name?" Minato just realized this.
Hiruzen got up and walked up to Minato, "Son, you can not go. You need to be sworn in as the fourth Hokage of Konoha."
Minato was taken aback, "Did the clan heads agree to this?"
Hiruzen nodded, "Yes, they did after hearing what you did at Kannabi bridge. Nobody doubts your strength anymore and I also believe that you will be the best Hokage Konoha can have. I am too old now, we need a youngster running things so we can adapt to changing times."
"I will not disappoint you, Hokage-sama." Minato respectfully bowed to him.
Jiraiya came to Minato and patted on his back strongly, "Hahaha, kid, keep your wallet open. I\'ll be coming back for a big party."
...
It had been a week since he had taken over Amegakure. Things had started to change for the better. When a man like Alexander takes control of anything, delays had no chance of happening.
He had abundant resources that he put into strengthening the city and making living conditions better. The whole Amegakure had rain most of the time and it made everything very gloomy.
To change this, he decided to paint the building in various colors and create lots of street lights, parks, neon signs, and advertisement billboards. Now, it looks like a beautiful cyberpunk city in the rain. A lot more beautiful and cheerful.
"Itachi-chan, that\'s not how you make it. You fold it this way." Konan showed Itachi some origami. Itachi also sat close to her with a blush.
Shisui was walking around Alexander trying to find a chance to talk about learning to fly.
"I wonder where Dobby is." Douglas loudly mumbled.
"Yeah, we found Ragnarok but Dobby is yet to be found. But based on the amount of publicity I have created, I am sure he is aware of me. He\'s probably lazing around somewhere." Alexander remarked.
"Wait, I think I have heard this name, Dobby. But I can\'t remember where." Shisui suddenly interjected.
Alexander looked at him quickly. Shisui then started laughing, "Hehe, I was kidding. I don\'t know Dobby. But now that I have your attention, teach me how to fly."
"Hah, cheeky kid. Let\'s go. I\'ll teach you how to fly, but don\'t complain to me later." He said in a mischievous tone. It made Shisui shiver.
