Naruto: Child of Chakra

Shiroken waved at her, "Can't say I'm glad to see you again so soon. Let's talk later, okay?"

Tsunade nodded and turned to look at the people, "I will start working from this very instant. I hope everyone here understands the current condition of the village and work with us to prepare for any future problems."

Nobody had any problems with Tsunade, so they silently left. All those who remained were elders of the council.

"Let's talk in the office," Tsunade said and pushed Hiruzen's wheelchair.

"Well, I'm leaving, I've got work to do. See you later." Shiroken waved his hand and left silently. Tsunade couldn't even speak before he had disappeared.

"Wh- I thought he was an elder and would listen to the Hokage," She asked.

Hiruzen sighed, "Well, unlike us, he's different. He has no reason to listen to anybody and he's here just because I asked him to. He's immensely rich and knowledgeable. As long as he stays in this village as its elder, we can be sure that nothing of major harm will come to us."

"Wait... why are you being so respectful to him? Who is he? What's going on?" She asked him finally.

Hiruzen turned to Jiraiya and nodded. Danzo however was let go. Hiruzen even gave him weird eyes as he had heard about the attack made on Tsunade not long ago.

They arrived at Hokage's office and took seats on the sofa. Hiruzen took out a letter and a bundle of pages from a drawer and handed it over to Tsunade. "These are the words of Lord First as well as his letter to you."

"Letter? When did he leave this?" She asked in confusion.

"When he was reanimated by Orochimaru not long ago. He left some words in them for you. I have not read it so I do not know what it is about. The other items are the secret words left by the Lord first, it had warnings that we failed to realise at the right time." Hiruzen sadly said.

Tsunade nodded and opened the letter first. She immediately recognised her grandpa's handwriting. It had been so long since she had last seen it.

[Letter]

Tsunade, I hope you are well. I heard that you are the last Senju alive. It must be a very lonely experience. For this, I bless you and will pray that you have lots of children and keep the Senju bloodline going.

I have made terrible mistakes in the past, Tsunade. Those mistakes have now resulted in so much destruction and loss of life. My short-sightedness was my own enemy. I couldn't see whom I should have befriended and whom I should have fought.

If you meet a man named Shiroken Dama, try to become friends with him. To you, after you find out everything, he might seem like an evil villain. But trust me, he is very kind and was just angry. If I was him, I'd be too.

Take care, and do not gamble too much, or even the Senju clan's treasury won't be enough for you. Be strong and strive for excellence. I'm proud of you.

With love, your grandpa. Oh, Tobi also says hello.

[Letter Ends]

Tsunade's eyes were slightly watery by the end of the letter. She didn't know what he was talking about but she could see that he was very regretful about it.

"What happened to him?" Tsunade asked.

"Well, we all fought Lord Dama, we lost. Lord Dama then released their souls from Orochimaru's jutsu. They have most likely ascended to the other world. Read the booklet, Trunade. It has important information. And you need to keep this a secret." Hiruzen warned her.

Jiraiya relaxedly sat there, he also warned, "It was shocking material, even to me. Be careful with it, Tsunade-chan."

She ignored his monkey face and looked at the notes.

[Notes]

Shiroken Dama is the adopted son of all nine tailed beasts. He is not an average human, he's ancient, and is older than me by a long margin. He and his clan lived in the forest in the south.

But then I appeared, along with a very dangerous enemy. I did not help him and struck a deal with his enemy. I took the tailed beasts. But Shiroken was able to defeat his enemy and kill him. After that, he was stuck in a crystal.

I was a fool, I shouldn't have ignored him. He saved the world and I repaid him by enslaving his precious family. But I had already distributed the beasts by the time I realised the mistake. To get the tailed beasts then would have meant war...

My naiveness resulted in our enemies becoming more powerful. My naiveness resulted in the start of the war, and I can see the world will never be at peace now. WHAT HAVE I DONE... If only I could go back...

So heed to my warning, NEVER GO AGAINST THE MAN NAMED SHIROKEN DAMA! HE'S A GOD ON EARTH! TAKE HIS BLESSING AND LIVE HAPPY OR FIGHT HIM AND FACE DESTRUCTION...

Good luck, Konoha.

[Notes End]

Tsunade was shocked to learn about Shiroken. He turned out to be even older than all nations. And the last line... ~How strong is he?~

"This... tell me honestly, who destroyed the village, what truly happened?" She sternly asked.

Hiruzen sighed, "It was Shiroken... and..." they told her everything in detail. Although she was truly angry when she heard how he made the people hate Hashirama and destroyed half of the village. But when she heard how he treated Naruto and let his father, Minato, remain, her attitude turned better, seeing that Shiroken wasn't inherently evil. Then Hiruzen revealed that Shiroken was helping everyone to get their homes back in just a day. And he's also bringing in trade.

"I... I want to talk to him alone." She requested.

Hiruzen saw through it. He was rather happy if Tsunade somehow really won over his heart. Jiraiya though was a numbskull and didn't see it. "Well, it depends, he will only come if he's free."

"Then I will go and talk to him myself. If he is to be an elder of Konoha then I must understand his motivations and his plans for the village. I must understand if he still holds a grudge against the Senju clan. If he does, then he needs to be removed from the council." She firmly decided.

Hiruzen and Jiraiya didn't oppose her. It was true, if Shiroken hated the Hokage, how can they be sure he would work to save the village?

"I shall retire to my family home, Tsunade. Jiraiya will assist you with everything you need." Hiruzen was out. He was already very weak right now.

Jiraiya smugly smiled as he heard that, "HEHE... Tsunade-chan, what can I do for you?"

Tsunade frowned, "Die please."

...

Uchiha Compound,

"Where did you get this intel? This seems highly suspicious, as if..." Shiroken had returned and Monari reported something to him.

"As if it was deliberately spread for you." She completed his words.

Shiroken chuckled, "Haha, it seems someone wants me to get away from Konoha. Maybe they want to attack here in the meantime. Poor folks, they don't know how fast I can travel around the world. What do you say, should we play this game with them?"

Monari thought about it, "Hmm... we should. We need to find out who this enemy is."

"Good, you will stay here and watch over the village. I will in the meantime go get Son Goku. Hehe... Saiken, can you contact Son Goku?" Shiroken talked to the milker boy Saiken mentally.

As tailed beasts, all of them should be able to contact each other. Before, they couldn't talk because they were stuck inside their Jinchuriki. But now since they were free, it might be possible.

...

Dama Country,

Saiken was happily watching over the animals grazing over the open field. It was a beautiful sunny day, so he decided to do painting today with his little hands. Hence, he took out his huge canvas and started his work.

"La Lala La Laaaa... I love my cows... I'm gonna milk them now... gonna teach my students how."

"SAIKEN!"

Saiken looked around himself, then he remembered it was the telepathic talk, "OH! Shiro? How are you?"

Shiroken cheerfully talked, "I'm good, Saiken. Can you contact Son Goku and tell me his location? Some bad people want to catch him for bad things."

"WHAAAT?! Really? Just wait, I will try and tell you soon." Saiken was concerned for Son Goku and quickly tried to contact him. As tailed beasts, they were all interconnected and hence had the ability to talk to each other remotely.

After 3 minutes, Saiken contacted Shiroken again, "SHIRO! HE'S IN THE SOUND COUNTRY!"
