The Truce

Itami jumped back several feet away from Kirito and demonstrated his Susano'o technique. Apparently there were three forms each more advanced than the last. Itami demonstrated them all ending with this most powerful version and shooting a giant arrow into the sky after making a bow of appropriate size appear. It was a great learning experience for Kirito. This technique seemed to not require any hand seals. [b]"This seems like a powerful technique. How does it work?"

"To use it you need to have Mangekyo Sharingan and like I said before it required the lost of a close friend. When you get Mangekyo Sharingan you can learn the three Mangekyo Sharingan techniques Tsukuyomi the most powerful Genjutsu, Amaterasu a fire jitsu that lasts for ever and finally Susano'o the ultimate defense. You need both Amatarasu and Tskuyomi to get Susano'o though. But using these techniques takes a great toll on your eyes making you blind so I only use them when I really need to.".

So this was one of the Mangekyo Sharingan techniques. Kirito wondered what else these eyes could do. Was this Mangekyo the last form of them? Itami had said that using the eyes took a toll on them. He hoped he wouldn't have to go blind for this power. He decided to ask his questions. "You said using this power takes a toll. What exactly does that mean?" he would say to Itami, curious to hear his response.

"You go blind each time you activate you lr eyes no matter how lond they are activated " said Itami. Sharingan was a great power but it had a great drawback that Itami was scared of." So what else do you need to know about Sharingan or Uchiha clan " asked Itami while smiling.

His observation was correct. You go blind by using this Mangekyo sharingan too much. He was determined to find a way around going blind. Maybe Arcanis had researched these eyes enough to know the answer. 'What do you think Isobu? Is it worth it to seek out this power?' he asked the giant three tailed turtle inside his mind. He knew the power was great and could be very helpful to him however he wasn't quite sure he wanted it if it meant he would go blind. 'I'm not so sure its worth pursuing unless you could find a way around the blindness. You should research these eyes.' At least Isobu agreed with Kirito on this. Itami had asked him if there was anything else he wanted to know about Sharingan or the Uchiha clan but he did not need any further information at the moment. "I don't believe I need any more information at the moment. If I do I will let you know."

Itami nodded his head looking over the land. Behind the Hokage office was a large mountain Itami had the perfect plan." You see that mountain behind the office we could carve your face in the mountain using my earth release. We can rename Tanzaku city Konohagakure a place of peace if you want. We can form a alliance with the surrounding countries as well to increase peace " asked Itami.

Here he goes again spouting nonsense about putting my face on a mountain side and renaming the city to Konohagakure. Was he always so quick to jump from one topic to the next? It seemed that way so far. Kirito was not keen on the idea of having a giant sculpture of his face up there for all to see. Secrecy was a ninja's friend and he would prefer it if his identity was not so open for enemies to notice and target. It was a good idea for someone vain and obsessed with the world knowing his name but that was not Kirito. His only goal was peace. He did not care whether his deeds were known or not and it didn't matter to him who's hand brought about this peace. As long as his ultimate goal of a nonviolent world came to fruition he was fine fading into the background. "Itami I would prefer it if my face was not broadcasted for all to see. I am less of a target if my identity is kept as secret as could be. I do not see a reason to rename the city either. However uniting the other countries is a good plan. I believe Arcanis, the Raikage, is already moving to do just that. I will help him however I can. I suggest you don't bring up such things again. We should really be focusing on recovering instead of this nonsense." It may have sounded a bit harsh but Itami was not as mature as he had first thought and these things needed to be said. He hoped the boy would not take his words unkindly and would do as he was told.

Itami nodded his head with nothing in mind to talk about again. Maybe Kirito had some things to ask or talk about." So Lord Hokage anything particular you want to talk about or ask " asked Itami as he sat on the ground waiting on a answer from the Senju." My friend will have to wait it seems " said Itami. Something had been on his mind. In truth he did have a friend but he had not created his friend yet. Zetsu would be his friend name but first Itami needed to find out how to utilize Wood Release.

Itami had asked Kirito if he had anything else on his mind, any questions for him. In truth Kirito was still curious about the Mangekyo Sharingan. He also wanted to know if Itami had any ideas for his Anbu organization. 'So Isobu what do I ask first, Mangekyo or Anbu?' he asked the Sanbi inside his mind. He liked relying on him for answers when he had none. Kirito considered Isobu to be one of if not his closest friend. Maybe Itami would become a new friend. 'Better to ask about the Anbu. We need to focus on the betterment of the village before personal goals.' Of course he would be the voice of reason. Even though Kirito had said he wasn't sure about pursuing the Mangekyo eyes he still had that strange desire for them. It was a strange feeling for him. He shook it off and acknowledged Isobu's words. "Well Itami, I was curious to know if you had thought of anything that would be beneficial to my Anbu. Please, share your thoughts." he would say to the Uchiha as he made his way back into the Hokage building, motioning for Itami to follow. He had no idea why he agreed to going outside in the first place.

Following the Hokage and sitting down in the office chair Itami said " These are all my ideas for ANBU. First we separate ANBU into squads or groups. 3 to each group. We will put them in there group of three based on there skills and how they work together. Second all ANBU must have a code name and where a mask everywhere they go even in the village because if a enemy finds out about the identity of one ANBU they can exploit his or her weakness. Third is if you are a ANBU and you are fighting a very powerful ninja. If you kill them you must take there body to your villiage for examination so you will have a better way to defeat a enemy that may have the same skills and that so a enemy will not get a hold of the body and do strange things to it like make it come back to life " said Itami with a serious face.

Itami followed Kirito up to his office and they sat down. He did have some good ideas it seemed. He suggested things like separating the Anbu into teams of three, hiding their identities even inside of the village so that they weren't targets and claiming bodies of strong ninja they killed so they could study them. Kirito agreed with most of these but he thought the teams should be 6 instead of 3. He decided to mention this to Itami. "It seems you do have some good ideas. I agree with all of them except the number within a team. We should make the teams 6 ninja with one of them being the squad captain. I'd like to hear if you have any more suggestions for me." Maybe he hadn't given him enough credit. He may act a bit flippant but he did seem to have an intelligent side as well. He sat quietly behind his desk waiting for Itami's response.

Itami had nodded his head to everything the Hokage had said." No I do not have any more ideas as of now. But I would be happy to answer any more of your questions if I am able to answer them " said Itami as he leaned back in his chair thinking of wood release. It would be a great thing to add to his arsenal of elements and ninjutsu. Maybe he could learn new things with Wood Release.

So that was all the suggestions he seemed to have for Kirito at the moment. It seemed he was eager to continue the conversation though, telling Kirito he would answer any other questions he had to the best of his ability. This time Kirito would ask how Itami would go about making peace treaties with the surrounding countries, his real goal being to see what his true nature is. 'Be careful with what you reveal Kirito.' Isobu warned him. It was an unnecessary warning however, Kirito knew he had nothing to fear. "My next question for you would be how would you go about trying to sign peace treaties with the surrounding countries and what defenses would you have for the village in case of an attack?" Kirito was very curious to hear his responses. This would determine where they went from here. Maybe if he liked Itami's answers he would offer to teach him some powerful wood techniques if he unlocked the Senju clan's bloodline element.

"For the peace with other countries I would suggest holding a summit of some sort with the five great countries. The leaders of the five great countries and two if there  bodygaurds would be at this summit. In the summit if I was a leader I would help the other country out with there defenses and provide help if there country was every to go to war with a group of criminals that are very powerful. As for our city defense I suggest put a a wall to surround the city then when the wall is built you put a fuinjutsi seal around it that no one can eneter the city unless the 5 gate guards approve them. The gate guards will have instant message with the Hokage do you will tell them whether to let them in or not. With the seal it will be alerted to you immediately when someone who is supposed to not enter the city enters. I will also have a group of ninja patrolling the city at all times. 50% of the ninja on ground 25% in air and another 25% underground. That way all entrances to the city will be safe so no enemy would enter " said Itami

Again these were good ideas. Although Kirito had no idea how they would manage to have ninja in the air. That seemed kind of absurd. The meeting of all the leaders however was something he could do. The only problem would be getting in touch with all of the other leaders. If he was being honest with himself the only one he knew of was Arcanis. He was sure Hikari would be willing to help as well if it meant peace but she held no real station here on Earth, the moon was her domain. Kirito wanted to make as many powerful allies as he could in case there was an attack on his domain or any of his allies, not to mention those who oppose Arcanis through violence. For now he decided he would focus on creating some sort of wall around Tanzaku and building up his Anbu force. "You do have some well thought out ideas. I like the idea of a meeting with all of the leaders. The problem with that is I only know of Arcanis. The identities of the others are still unknown to me. I think our main focus for now should be creating this wall and building up our Anbu force."
26/30

Itami nodded his head and said " ok anything you want to ask I will be happy to answer " said Itami. Maybe he could build the wall with his earth release. All will happen in a few days he guess." I never knew Arcanis was a leader he only told me of his plan for the world " said Itami. He remembered the spar between him and Arcanis. Itami shivered even though it was healed and gone he still felt the pain of the broken bones and bruises.

So maybe Itami was nothing more than a pawn to Arcanis as he had not revealed his true identity to Itami. No matter, Kirito could use him. Perhaps he had revealed too much already, he wasn't sure. He was about to suggest ways to start forming the wall and recruiting Anbu members when he got a weird sort of power welling up inside of him. He couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was just yet. He tried to shake it off. "How do you suggest we go about building this wall around Tanzaku? It might take a while but it would be worth it." Kirito was beginning to get a headache. He would have to conclude his business with Itami soon so as to get some rest.
28/30

"I suggest using earth release to make the wall and form it around the city " said Itami as he felt something forming like a unknown power he had never felt before. What is this he thought? The power was overwhelming like it was not meant for him to have it. Maybe it was wood release and he was unlocking it at this exact moment. Or maybe he was just sick.

Of course Itami would finally suggest something obvious and uninteresting. Kirito was becoming bored with this conversation quickly. His headache was growing and he could feel the power inside of him about to burst. "I'm sorry Itami but I'm suddenly not feeling well. Please excuse yourself. We will continue our conversations at a later date. Please close the door behind you," Kirito would wait until Itami got up and left, closing the door behind him as Kirito had not given any room for argument or debate. Once he was alone Kirito put his head in his hands, not being able to take the power building up inside of him any longer. His head felt like it was going to explode, then suddenly the immense pressure that was the headache behind his eyes was gone. Kirito lifted his head from his hands, his eyes flashing red with one black tomoe that seemed like a second pupil in each of his eyes. 'Isobu I think I just awakened the sharingan. Things are going to be interesting from here on out.'
