Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 335: Brewing Trouble

"W-We were doing it to protect the village, elder." Shibuki fearfully said.

"From whom?" He asked back.

"From other big nations. We don't want to become the next Ame or the current Kusa. The big countries use us smaller ones as a battlefield and destroy everything.

"They have their big tailed beasts to fight for them and nobody dares to attack them. So, if we also had a tailed beast, we could also enjoy a bit of peace." He blurted.

Alexander understood their fear. With such an unstable world, no one could know when trouble would come their way.

"How were you able to catch Chomei?" He asked.

"We didn't catch him. We just found him asleep here." Shibuki answered.

Alexander looked at Chomei who himself looked embarrassed. "Hehe, I am a heavy sleeper, G-Chan"

"Does this little one have parents?" He asked while looking at the little baby in his arms.

"No, but I have adopted her. She is like a sister to me." Shibuki confidently said. He was answering everything truly in the hope he would be able to come out of this alive.

"Dobby, stay here and set up an outpost for our Droids... dammit, I forgot Dobby is missing." He muttered. He had grown too dependent on his elf sidekick.

"I have an offer, I will grant your village protection. As long as you stay out of trouble yourself. Besides, even if you had successfully made the little girl a Jinchuriki, it would have only forced you to the big leagues as the other big countries would start seeing you as a threat instead of an insignificant country. Do you want that to happen?" He brought them to the realization.

Alexander knew they wouldn't agree to his proposal so easily because they didn't know if they could rely on him, so he had to exert a lot more of his power. Everyone suddenly fell to their knees except Chomei, Hats, Berry, and Douglas.

"I can bring this village under my protection if you want." He offered.

"What will we have to do?" Shibuki fearfully asked.

"Nothing, just be good and follow the instructions. I promise your lives will change for the better. Now, I've got to go somewhere. A Wolf faced man will come here soon and set everything up." He informed.

Blue Fang had nothing to do as of now so Alexander called him. Brian could have been better for this job but he was still a bit depressed after getting rejected by the Togruta woman he liked in Star Wars world. He thought she liked him but then he found out she just had another baby with her husband.

None of the villagers questioned him. Alexander gave the little baby to the village leader. "Take care of her."

After that, he went out of the cave. Chomei followed him behind. "Chomei-chan, make yourself smaller and sit on my shoulder. It won't be good if people see you roaming around. We will be going and freeing all your siblings." (Assume that the tailed beasts have the ability to shrink themselves)

"Woah, lucky. But do you know where everyone is?" Chomei asked.

"Yes, we are going to Iwagakure now. There are Son Goku (Four-Tails) and Kokuo (Five-Tails) in that country." Alexander told him.

Suddenly Berry flew close and sat on Alexander's other shoulder, trying to look good in front of Chomei.

Berry threw blue flames out of his mouth. "Woah, so cool," Chomei exclaimed.

Berry puffed his chest out, "Haha, you can call me big brother Berry."

"But I am a thousand years old," Chomei argued.

"I am thousands of years old," Berry replied.

Chomei looked at Berry like he was a senior, "Yes, big brother, Berry."

Alexander ignored their theatrics and continued moving to Iwagakure.

...

Konoha,

The council met again with Hokage. This time it was an emergency. Hokage had just received the scroll from Sakumo.

"This is unsettling. Someone is targeting all the Jinchuriki and has made his intentions clear. Sakumo Hatake also wrote that this man is very powerful and was able to handle a full-powered fireball to his face without any injury. He made it clear that this man is extremely dangerous and powerful. His name, too, is unusual," Hokage briefed.

"I can send my root ninjas, they are good at intel gathering," Danzo suggested.

"No, we can't take the risk. Not yet. Sakumo said that this man is unlikely to come to Konoha anytime soon. His last position was Ame and he was seen heading towards Kusa. He will most likely go to Iwa to get their Jinchuriki." Hiruzen denied him.

"Then you should give Konoha's Jinchuriki to me. I can keep her protected in my Root base. I can assure you no one can infiltrate it." Danzo added. It was his long time dream to be able to do tests on Jinchuriki and understand the power of a tailed beast.

Hiruzen thought for a bit. He could allow Kushina to be sent to root but he doubted Jiraiya and Minato would be happy about it. Except for him, no one seemed to appreciate Danzo's hard work for the village.

And Minato was one of the strongest ninjas in the country right now and also his next favorite choice for the Hokage position. he couldn't afford to anger him and in the worst-case let him become a missing-nin if Danzo did something to her.

"No, Konoha is already very safe. I will just not send her on any missions now." Hiruzen decided, much to the frustration of Danzo.

"Hmmm, this is interesting." Koharu Utatane mumbled.

"What is it, Koharu?" Homura Mitokado asked.

"The reports said that this man called the nine-tails, Kurama. Nobody in the world knows the names of tailed beasts. Not even the Jinchuriki. So how does this man know? Could he be the real Sage of Beasts?" She wondered.

Danzo scoffed, "Since when did children's bedtime stories about a man befriending the beasts and playing with them become real? They are just beasts. Uncontrollable and powerful beasts. They don't make friends. I heard the stories of this sage from my mother when I was small and she heard it from her mother. Are you saying a man has been alive for hundreds of years?"

When it was put like that, nobody believed that Sage of Beasts was real.

"Then it is most likely someone who found some hidden knowledge about the past and found out about the name. But we can't even make sure that this is the 9 tail's real name. He is very hostile to his Jinchuriki. The best case, for now, is to just keep an eye on this man." Homura Mitokado pointed out.

Hiruzen agreed, "Yes, for this we will need someone with extensive spy network and skills. I will send words to Jiraiya. He should be somewhere around Ame."

All of them agreed to this plan.

...

Sakumo Hatake reached Takigakure to find the seven tail Jinchuriki.

He had been there for two days now, in disguise, and finding information. Their mission was very important for the future survival of Konoha.

But then he started hearing rumors about an old man coming and taking away the seven-tails with him. His team also reported the same.

This was enough for him to understand that the old man was the same man he met in Ame.

~They couldn't have gone too far. If we can catch them in time, we can still capture the seven-tails.~

A man from his team came to him with a scroll, "Captain, this is from Konoha."

Sakumo opened it and saw the details. That he was to capture the seven-tails' Jinchuriki while Jiraiya went for the old strange man.

He decided to go after the old man too, if he worked with Jiraiya then he may be able to handle him and get the seven-tailed beast.

...

It had been a few years since the second Shinobi War ended. The big nations were still very weak. Ame had closed itself and had decided to stay neutral from now on.

On the other hand, Kusa was planning to nab some land from the Fire country. Through using Kusa, Earth Country's Iwagakure was also eying an opportunity to start a war with Konohagakure of Fire Country.

There were skirmishes going on between Iwagakure and Kumogakure as well. Sunagakure(Hidden Sand Village) was also having some disputes here and there.

It all showed everyone that a war was imminent and each village was preparing for it.
