Chapter 30: Decision!
In Sunagakure, Kazekage looked at the scroll in his hand and then looked at the Jonin standing in front of him.
"Is this information correct? Where did you obtain this scroll? Explain everything and the process."
The Jonin nodded and started to explain how he was travelling around the borders and found a caravan. He found the caravan suspicious as everyone knew that war is arriving and no caravan would try to move from one border to another.
Not only that, he also found out that the people in Caravan were disguised as Ninjas and he and his team decided to investigate. At night, his team ambushed the caravan and found this scroll, and a few seals in the caravan.
The Seals contained Food that would be enough to last 15 days, and when he decided to question the Ninjas, they killed themself using explosion seals and members of his team were killed in the process. Jonin then showed the scar on his back that was the result of the fight and a few tears escaped his eyes as he talked about his team.
Kazekage heard all of this with no expression on his face and said, "Hmm, you may leave. Take a few day's break and I will check this scroll. If the information in the scroll is correct, then you will have done a meritorious service for the village."
The Jonin nodded and thanked Kazekage and he disappeared from the place, and just as he has left, ANBU appeared in the room and whispered in Kazekage's ears.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Kazekage's stoic face and he looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "Ame and Konoha, let's see if you really plan to do this."
"Go and survey the area where he talked about and increase the Ninjas stationed near the Konoha border. Send a delegation to Ame and take this letter's copy with you. The Delegation members should be from Team D, and they shouldn't have many skills."
The ANBU nodded and disappeared from the place while Shamon started to think and said, "Call Jonin Tetsu Sabakusai and ask him to meet me in Sand Field 3."
An ANBU disappeared from the place and Shamon also looked into the sky and left the room.
.....
In Amegakure, Hanzo looked at the letters in his hand and then at the Jonin in front of him. A frown appeared on his face as the letters showed the talk between Kazekage and Danzo, who were trying to conspire against him.
"Where did you find these letters? Do you know that death will be mercy if you tried to deceive me?"
"Yes, Amekage, I understand. The reason I obtained this letter is that I was travelling in River borders and saw a fight happening between Suna and Konoha Ninjas. A few Suna Ninjas had survived the fight, and I killed them and obtained the letter. I have also put the remains and bands I found to the IT department."
Hanzo looked at these letters and while thinking about the man that contacted him before, and then sighed.
"Leave, Take a break for a few days."
The Jonin nodded and left the room, and just as he did, Hanzo crushed the table and said, "Damn Danzo, you really planned to double-cross me. Let's see what you will do now."
He started to write another letter and called ANBU and asked it to be sent to Suna as soon as possible.
"Also, increase troops around Konoha's borders. If you see any Konoha ninja crossing, kill on sight!"
The ANBU nodded and disappeared from the room while Hanzo thought of something and said, "Second Shinobi War, It will start in a few days with Ame V/S Suna V/S Konoha, or I should say, Ame and Suna V/S Konoha."
.....
Akira and Mito were watching the two events happening and he heard Mito speak, "It will take 2 days for Suna Ninja to reach near the borders, and the same is for Ame Ninja. What if, they were ambushed at borders by Konoha Ninjas and even with the ambush, the letters that I have prepared reached Ame and Suna? What do you think will happen?"
Akira started to think and spoke, "They will both team up to attack Konoha, but as Konoha Ninjas don't know about any of this happening, they will suffer."
"Yes, Monkey and Danzo will be shocked as they will receive the borders getting attacked and many Ninjas will be killed in the process. The Ninjas stationed in Konoha Border will do the last ditch attack and try to take as many Ame and Suna Ninjas as they can, while they will try to send information back to Konoha."
"Is this necessary?" Akira said while looking at the Ninjas stationed in the Konoha borders. Knowing that they will be killed as pawns of others without being able to do anything, he felt guilty for playing with their lives and wondered how their relatives would feel when they will hear about their deaths.
"What?" Mito said while looking at Akira with a twinkle in her eyes.
'I really hope you will answer in the way I want and not be tainted with greed and a dirty part of the world.'
Akira looked at Mito with a complex look on his face and he asked, "Is this war necessary? Many people with families will die because of this, and even without war, I am sure we can get whatever we want. So, I want to ask, is this war really necessary?"
A smile appeared on Mito's face and she said, "It's only because you are fortunate one that you can ask this question. In War, many people die but don't forget that war brings glory to others too. You, who have things you want might not understand but for many, war is the only place that could change their whole life."
"As for being able to get things without war? Yes, I can. Even the five villages, if tried, can get things from each other by trading their specialities, but do they? Yes, they do, but only after starting a war. The winner sets conditions and the loser follows it. They both still are getting things from each other, which they could do before, but they didn't. Can you answer me why?"
Akira became silent as he heard this. He understood that Mito was trying to tell me, but he still couldn't relieve himself of the guilt that his actions would cause others' deaths.
'I may be thinking too much as Second Shinobi War would have happened, even without me doing anything, and even if I did, the war only sped up. Now, as Mito said, as one of the fortunate ones who could decide the course, it will depend on my and her decision, how things will happen in the world.'
