Naruto: Child of Chakra

Chapter 53 - 53. Save The Reputation

Leaving Utakata's tired body, Saiken wobbled out of the giant hall with the similarly giant door. This was specially made for the bijuu. But, it was not really just on the ground, because they'd have to build a huge building. Here, they dug the most part of it.

*Door Opens* ??

Everyone was waiting for Shiroken outside. It had been more than 10 hours and they were growing nervous. Not for Utakata but for Saiken.

Soon Saiken's funny voice came, "Ehem... behold, the big, the mighty, the strong. SAIKEN THE MILKER! TA-TADAA..."

Jin frowned, "Isn't that title a little... inappropriate?"

Monari slammed onto his back lightly, "No, he's cute. And if you think otherwise then your mind is in the gutter."

Saiken happily came out, Shiroken still held in his arm by his sides like a doll. "Hello, everyone. Wah... it's so good to feel the real air and smell again."

*BAM*

Monari and Jin jumped to hug him. Saiken put Shiroken down and picked both of them, "Look how big you two have grown."

"GAGA..." All of a sudden Shirajin voiced who was happily looking around in Izumi's arms.

*THUD*

Saiken left Monair and Jin to fall to the ground, as he slid to Izumi, scaring her. But, the baby in her arms was being cheerful. Shirajin has no idea how to recognise a threat. To him, this funny blob was just another talking person.

Saiken lifted the baby in his small arms softly, he looked him in the eyes, "Aw... you are so cute. You remind me of baby Shiro, just with black hair. Oh, Sharingan already? Good going. What's his name?"

Monari answered, "He's Shirajin. Named after Shiro and Jin."

Saiken looked back at the baby. Shirajin suddenly hugged Saiken's body. The big slug melted even further in cuteness, "Hehe, good name. We will have lots of fun together, Shirajin."

Shiroken smiled happily seeing everything unfold. Finally, the family was becoming whole again slowly. "OKAY! I will go and bring Isobu out too. But since he wants to jump into the water as soon as he's out, I will conduct the extraction outside. Saiken, come with me and safeguard the area while I do it."

"Let's go... It's time to bring my brother out." Saiken happily walked outside with the little baby still sitting over his head.

...

They came to a small lake not too far from the palace. Lots of people gasped when they saw Saiken walking down the street. But, they didn't run away in fear. As many of the Nidama clan were there, they simply bowed to Saiken, greeting him.

The other people were also so used to seeing various cute posters and toys of tailed beasts that the real beasts didn't feel very threatening. In fact, the fluttering belly of Saiken was funny to many. They couldn't believe that such a cute creature could be called as dangerous as the legends said.

Saiken's behaviour was also very different from what most would expect. He was cheerful, kind and funny, often greeting the people and sometimes even recognised a few from old Dama village.

Soon after, a few kids whose favourite plushie toy was Saiken, came running and hugged his huge body. Once again, Saiken melted.

"Hello, kiddies. I will play with you later, right now I need to do important work with Shiro. Okay?" He assured them.

The kids nodded happily and stepped back. Saiken was enjoying everything about being free. He missed it a lot in the past decades.

After arriving at the lake, lots of ninjas and other security from the Uzumaki clan and Nidama clan surrounded them to create a safe perimeter.

The body of Rin was brought there, which was still in a coma. She was just kept alive by the doctors of the palace. Today, he was going to try to wake her up. But first, he was going to bring Isobu out.

He did the same procedure as he did with Utakata. But she was unconscious so she did not scream or move. It took him lesser time this time, as he knew exactly what to do and how to do it.

"Are you ready, Isobu?" He asked.

"FROM A LONG TIME, SHIRO!" Isobu excitedly replied.

It still took him a few hours to finish bringing him out.

*BOOM*

Isobu fell in the lake on the side, and the moment he touched the water he started happily shouting and flapping his arms and tails on the water.

"FREEDOM! HEHEHE... I MISSED THIS!" he giggled like a little kid.

"HEY! I WILL BATH TOO..." Saiken also jumped into the lake with a thud, creating big waves.

Shiroken smiled happily and started healing Rin. He only knew that Monari knew this girl from before. She was supposed to be a healer herself.

But, he did not know what was wrong with her. He did not have any ability that lets one enter someone's mind.

"Monari, you are good at Genjutsu, right? Do you have any techniques that can help?" Shiroken asked.

Monari denied, "No, I can not effectively see in someone's head. Only alter their senses."

"Then I guess we will need to get some scrolls about mind related techniques from a Shinobi village." he decided.

"LORD DAIMYO!"

All of a sudden a guard came running, he was panting when he stopped. Jin asked, "What's the matter?"

"There... we caught a man peeping inside a women's public bathroom. But he was able to get away, I believe he is a ninja." the guard replied.

"What does he look like?" Shiroken inquired.

"He has hair similar to you, Lord Dama." the man answered.

~Hmm, if I don't catch him fast he will do a lot of damage to my name, what if they think I was the one peeping?~ Shiroken panicked.

"I will catch him. Take Rin back inside, I will find a mental ability to heal her properly later." Shiroken ordered the people.

He then vanished from the spot, rushing in a direction. He had already sensed the whole city and knew where the man was. He was hiding behind another women's bath.

...

Jiraiya had arrived in the Dama country a week ago. He knew that his mission was not just to set up relations with this new country but also to gauge its strength in the economical aspect.

From the start, he was surprised by how advanced its trade was. The main road, that led all the way from the southern tip of Dama Country to the northern tip of Noodles country was made of smooth paved stones. Both sides of the roads were covered with lots of trees, with most of them being fruit trees, so that hungry travellers can eat some.

Then there were free large resthouses built like castles after every 100 kilometres. They provided free food to the stopper there. The road was also patrolled by men on horses, he was shocked that some of the men had red hair, like Uzumaki. But he saw them riding horses so he thought they were not Shinobi.

He continued on his journey, he came across lots of small towns, villages and even some cities. All seemed flourishing, with many economic activities going. The villages too were rich, as they exported a lot of their products now.

It turned out, the Daimyo of the country had ordered that the people grow crops in rotations. And many of the regions were told to grow something different from other regions. This way, the country enjoyed a surplus of a variety of grains and vegetables, which were heavily exported to the countries around.

But by far what Jiraiya was enjoying the most on the trip was the tea. He just loved stopping at every single tea shop and drink some, his reason being that no shop had a similar taste but each shop had amazing taste. And he was old and it's the old age when one can truly appreciate tea. Also, these shops were the best place to hear what's going on in the country.

One thing he had understood by now was that the Daimyo was like a true king and he was loved, the Nidama clan was the clan of Daimyo. Then there was the whole other deity-like being in existence whose names people would chant every morning for good luck, the name was Lord Dama.

Surprisingly, when he asked who this Lord Dama was, none had actually seen him. They had just heard the stories, that Lord Dama was the son of the 9 mighty Saint Beasts. Then he found the craziest thing, posters of the tailed beasts, plushies and other toys based around them. There was even a poster where all the tailed beasts were gathered around a little child with white hair.

~This is going to be messy to deal with. They probably hate all five Shinobi villages.~ Jiriya realised.

Soon, he continued on his journey and reached the capital, Dama city. Here, he once again decided to just look around for the starters.

As he was an aspiring writer. How could he not taste the fruits of other countries? He couldn't call himself a writer if he wasn't ready to research more. So, he chose a few bathhouses to see how women of Dama country were.

But, he messed up. He thought this was not a Shinobi country, so he spied from the roof, but then got caught.

He was on run now. However, one last peek couldn't hurt anybody, right? Or that's what he thought.

...

Shiroken soon reached the bathhouse. He made sure not to make any noise, on top of that he was unnoticeable.

"OY! PERVERT BOY! *BAM*" Shiroken shouted and kicked Jiraiya's butt so hard the man flew a few metres in the air.

Jiraiya turned around while in the air, deciding to run away again, nobody could catch him here anyway. ~Hehe, after all, I am the Ero... Ah... I mean the Sennin.~

But he aborted that plan when he saw the person he came here to meet was right there. "Ah, greetings, I have come from Konoha, to establish ties with the newly formed country of Dama."

Shiroken looked at him in a puzzle, "Haha, they sent a pervert for it? So should we sign a treaty of peeking inside the bathroom? I didn't expect you to turn out like this, boy."

Jiraiya felt confused, "Hmm? Have we met before?"
