369. Tricked Into Work

Alexander appeared in the Daimyo palace in Wind Country. Ragnarok was lazing around like always, but Alexander had decided his vacation was ending now.

"Let go Raggy, you said you wanted to show me a small kid." He reminded him.

"Yeah, I've seen him. He's very cute. He's the son of the Fourth Kazekage." Ragnarok said.

"Fourth? What happened to the third?" He confusedly asked.

"Oh, he retired. He decided to sideline himself from politics after you took away the tailed beast. But I guess he will have to show up if you're going to take over." Ragnarok concluded.

"Not if I have your support. You are the Daimyo, you can do anything you want in this country. Sunagakure falls under you as well." Alexander proposed.

"Hmm, so you want me to be the bad guy? Well, not that I care about it." Ragnarok agreed. Not knowing that Alexander was going to put so much work on his head soon.

Soon they were on their way to Sunagakure with Daimyo's official convoy, which had a wheeled chariot for him. Though Alexander wasn't able to find horses in the world and had to find alternatives.

(A/N: Seriously, I searched on google and there are no horses in Naruto, except the 1st movie which was not canon. How do normal people travel?)

All the tailed beasts were huddled inside the chariot.

"Ah, it feels weird coming back here, I hate sand," Shukaku growled, looking around.

Bunpuku had also come out of Phixheim to see his home country again, "It has changed a lot since my childhood. Back then the buildings were small and there were still a few rare trees around but now it's all sand"

The old monk was now proficient in sage mode after training for so long in Phixheim. He spent all his time in a secluded jungle. Even the Unicorns of Phixheim loved him.

Their entourage entered Sunagakure with the utmost respect. Alexander wasn't doing anything to hide the fact that he was the Hokage of Konoha and also the person who stole the tailed beast. This earned him some furrowed eyebrows from the guards.

But they refrained from doing anything against them in front of the Daimyo.

"Come with me, Alex. I'll show you that baby." Ragnarok enthusiastically walked into a building. Behind him, many ninjas and samurai followed hastily to provide security to the world ending dragon.

Ragnarok brought him to a brown-haired woman. She had a piece of cloth in her hand. But then he focused and saw that there was actually a child in that bundle.

"Ah, Lord Daimyo, welcome to Suna." The woman bowed to him.

Ragnarok patted her head softly, "Easy now, Karura, you are still weak. I brought my friend to see little Gaara. He is known by the name Sage of Beasts and is currently the Hokage of Konoha."

Alexander walked forward and saw the small child resting. It was extremely small, even by prematurely born baby standards. It was a surprise that he was even alive.

"Ragnarok wasn't shutting up about Gaara so I had to come and see." He said.

Karura was confused about how to behave in front of him as Suna and Konoha didn't have very good relations.

"Haha, no need to be so serious, child. I am just an old man." Alexander tried to ease her up

Then Ragnarok took a hold of Gaara, much to Karura's uneasiness apparent on her face. Alexander walked closer and looked at him. Gaara was so small that he could fit in the palms.

He softly touched his cheeks with his finger and surprisingly, Gaara moved his hand and held his finger with his tiny hand.

"Haha... you must be worried about his health all the time." He said to Karura.

She nodded her head, "Yes, they said he won't survive for long."

"But he turned out to be a fighter didn't he," Alexander muttered.

He caressed Gaara's red hair, "As a sage, I have many powers. I can at least make it so that little Gaara will never fall sick due to any disease. He will also have rapid growth soon."

As he caressed Gaara's hair, Gaara giggled. "Haha, enjoying it aren't you."

Then he handed Gara back to his mother.

"Take care, Karura, your health is also of importance here." He advised her.

Just when they were about to leave, they heard an anger-filled shout from behind that scared little Gaara and he started crying.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"

Alexander looked back at the guy, "Who are you?"

"I am the Kazekage of Sunagakure, Rasa." Rasa replied.

*BAM*

It was not Alexander, but Ragnarok who appeared beside Rasa and knocked so hard on Rasa's head that Alexander felt that Rasa grew short.

"Don't make Gaara cry, you idiot." Ragnarok scolded him.

Rasa couldn't do anything about Daimyo, he didn't have enough authority, even less so when he was recently made Kazekage.

"Why is the Hokage of Konoha here? Is he trying to hurt my son?" He asked haughtily.

Ragnarok laughed and said, "Hahaha, you fool, if he wanted he could have destroyed Sunagakure in a mere second. Don't you see all those little fluffs besides him? They are the nine tailed beasts, now imagine if you angered them."

Rasa looked at the tailed beasts trying to make Gaara stop crying by making him laugh. Karura looked helpless as the beasts were continuously jumping around her, asking to see the baby.

"Anyway, good you came here, I am removing you from your Kazekage position. I will put someone else there." Ragnarok announced.

Rasa got furious in a second and he quickly looked at Alexander, "And who do you think should be the Kazekage?"

Before Ragnarok could say anything, Alexander spoke, "Of course, who better than our beloved Daimyo?"

Ragnarok doubtfully looked back to check if he heard right. He only saw a grin on Alexander's face. ~Dammit, he played me,~

"But, Lord Daimyo, you aren't a shinobi, how can y..." Rasa argued,

Ragnarok got into his competitive mood, "Hah, kid, you are way too young to say that. Okay, let's have a spar then. If you can defeat me then I will let you be the Kazekage."

Rasa had no way but to accept the challenge. They soon came out in the open field. Ragnarok was simply standing and not even looking at Rasa.

"Are you sure about this, Lord Daimyo?" Rasa asked.

"Just get on with it now, kid," Ragnarok grunted.

~Huh, I'll teach you a lesson now, you've been a pain in the back for a while now~ Rasa thought.

The next moment, he ran very fast and attacked Ragnarok with sand spears. But Ragnarok simply sidestepped them all. "You are weak, kid, give me your best"

Rasa's eye twitched. He finally started using his special Gold Dust.

He flew in the air using his dust and thew attacks at Ragnarok again and again.

After a while, Ragnarok got bored and decided to end this. Just as Rasa threw his gold sand mixed with normal sand at him, Ragnarok spewed fire from his mouth.

The fire was so hot that Rasa's sand instantly started to turn into liquid glass with molten gold trapped inside the glass.

"You lose,"

Ragnarok appeared beside Rasa and slapped the back of his head, sending him flying down to the ground.

Rasa fell with a loud thud, but Ragnarok then realized that he should have lost,

"Goddamit, you tricked me, Alex." He barked at Alexander.

"Haha, I didn't do anything. It was all you. You will probably be the first Daimyo to be the Kazekage now. Good luck with your job." Alexander cheekily replied.

"You bastard, I was living my life in my palace, eating, getting massages but you had to take away my peace," Ragnarok complained.

"Hah, you've had enough rest, now it's time to work. Do you want little Gaara to have to fight when he grows up?" Alexander asked.

Ragnarok shook his head silently and returned to the ground, "All right, I'll work. But I get Sundays off."

"Heh, sure, wherever makes you happy."
