Past Kakumondate, Near Land of Tea Borders~
Five days after Kakuzu fight~
[Mitsu]
.
Daaaamn Dudaaass! We are almost near the Land of Tea! And you know what that means right, RIGHT?!!!!
Yeeeepppp *pop* that's right, it's time to just sit back, and relax, enjoy a nice warm cup of tea, and take over the country *cough* I mean, make new businesses.
But I gotta say, I am very happy to establish a direct trading route here.
I was a fricking tea fanatic in my previous life. Most of my friends and fam were coffee people, well coffee is just beanny tea, but I still preferred tea.
And honestly, I miss the tea from back then.
Don't get me wrong, this world has nice green tea and oolong tea, but it's not the same as Earl gray or Darjiling tea, I kinda miss those.
And I am hoping to find something similar to those here. I mean if I ever have a tini-tiny chance of getting those kinds of tea, it should be the Land of Tea right?
It makes perfect sense. Umu,umu!
Oh. it doesn't interest you?
Ah! You all must be wondering what happened to the Zombie dude. Welp… It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
I gotta say, I was taking him way too lightly…
Sighhhhh!
When that dude was cornered and thought his life was on the line, he retaliated with full force.
I was really underestimating a Lvl 76, it seems… His strength was ridiculous.
Having his feet pasted and common sense removed, wasn't enough for to turn him into a vegetable.
Unlike Danzo, who made others fight for him. This dude was born and raised in the battlefield and lived while bathed in blood.
He was in perfect shape and on the upper limit of his strength.
His awakening was seriously scary.
Fuzzy and Itachi had a very hard time containing him. Itachi even needed to use his Mangekyo.
I didn't want to interfere much as I knew, my minions needed to grow through these kinds of fights.
And I am glad that I didn't meddle. As Fuzzy and Itachi showed me their true prowess.
Kakuzu was simply a deranged beast at the end with only one heart left.
Then I gave everyone the order to detain, not kill.
Aki da Baki, made his move at that time and cut off all of Mr. Kaku's limbs. I discreetly took away his main Jutsu's and chakra control.
I still needed Kakuzu alive. He was the key to share the knowledge of Akatsuki.
As I remember that Jiraya only made proper contact with the Akatsuki way later. By then the world already lost 3 tailed beasts.
[A/N: At where the story is atm, Akatsuki is still a mercenary group, trying to earn enough money for the Eye of the Moon project.]
I very carefully packed the now only torso with head, zombie-man into a parcel and shipped him to Ibiki.
How? Welp, I just made Fuzzy pull an Amazon service for me, ya know. He was the fastest among the minions I had after all.
And as we were traveling by carriage he would catch up to us in 3 days time anyways, so no personnel or time loss. Pretty neat huh!
And he did return even earlier than I estimated.
As for the Akatsuki~
Do I want to stop the Akatsuki? Ummm, ummm, I haven't thought that far…
I don't really plan to go out of my way, to stop them. But then again, I don't really know what happens at the end.
Damn me for not watching Boruto.
But oh well~ We will figure it out when the time comes!
I am simply enjoying myself after all.
And right now, I just want some good TEA!
As for my future plans of becoming strong enough to eat lunch leisurely in the middle of the fourth war… No one will get in my way!
But
I feel like I forgot about something. Something rather important...
Hmmmm… Oh. well!
.

Gyoso, Fishing Village, Land of Tea~
.
Welp, this place is…. Sucky…
The village is near the shoreline and there are mountains on the opposite side. Where most of the tea is grown.
That's all there is...
This place feels a bit too poor. I really thought the Tea country was a merchant land with many fat sheep.
I felt something was wrong here.
I am no philanthropist but, I can't have some goons taking away the money that was supposed to fill up my pockets, now can I?
Na-uh, unacceptable! Those coins are only calling for this daddy!
.
Then~
I ordered the butler that came with me to find a good place to stay.
He quickly bowed and left with my other attendants, leaving only my guard minions with me.
I looked at the small harbor and said, "Ichi and Fuzzy, I want to know who is stealing my money. Find them slap'em and then meet me back in three hours, dismissed."
They both seemed surprised, but flicked away with smiles on their faces.
I felt weird at their behavior.
Did I say something weird? I thought I was being a bossy prince. So what's with the smiles? Are they becoming M's.
*Shiver*
I then faced Aki da Baki, I at least hoped the old dude wound't be like them. But…
He seemed too peaceful and happy. Even had a grand-fatherly smile…
OK! Stop!
I was freaking out.
When I heard him say,"Ah, hohohoho, Mitsu-Sama is really a kindered spirit. You even decided to help some poor villagers deal with their problem, as you saw that they didn't even have enough money to ask for help.
Truly Mitsu-Sama, you are becoming an admirable individual.
You don't even want the credit making excuses like, you are trying to find rouges who stole your money. Truly commendable! This is how a royal should act!"
Huh? He said what now?....
.
.
.
After two and a half hours~
.
I was standing in front of a large gathering of people, where they all were kneeling in front of me and weeping.
Damn monkey uncle's butthole! How did things turn out like this?
I looked at my subordinates, who were all smiling and looking extremely proud.
The hell….
At that moment I saw an elder coming up front and speaking, "Young Prince, we are truly blessed to have you visiting us. We have heard from your servants that it was through your orders that the bandits are dealt with."
The elder started crying loud as he kept on.
"You don't know how long we have suffered by their hands. *Sob* Dear lord, if it wasn't for you we would still have to give three fourth of our wealth as a protection fee…
So many children died of hunger.
And the officials turned a blind eye to our plea. We had no one to turn to. It even felt like God has abandoned us…
Yet you came.
You are our light and our savior. Please! Accept our eternal gratitude."
He then did a kowtow of respect as the other villagers followed.
Seeing this scene…
I felt like the world was spinning.
How the hell, I turned into some light bringer?..
Well, not that it is a bad thing. I guess?
The happiness and relief of these people are rubbing on me too..
And I think these people will be able to help me with my business and in return…
They will find more jobs and opportunities for themselves.
Well… If they are under me then they will be my people too. And I will always protect my people.
That is a promise I made a long time ago.
I had a serious look on my face.
Which made all my servants smile. Fuzzy even had tears in his eyes….
Welp! This still feels weird.

Extra:
Somewhere in the Land of Rain~
Right after Kakuzu's loss.
[General]
.
A man who was impaled by black rods and looked emaciated suddenly opened his eyes.
"Konan!"
Came in a beautiful woman with blue hair wearing the same robe as Kakuzu. She looked at the man quizzically.
When the man answered, "Mori is dead! And Kakuzu was captured… Get Madara and Zetsu to retrieve the rings…"
The beautiful woman named Konan nodded and turned to leave.
She then heard him saying, "Don't target that boy named Mitsu for now. He seems strange... My eyes feel... nevermind."
But she felt something was wrong. It was a hunch she was having. Telling her that things will not go as they planned.

Orochimaru's lair~
Present time during the fishing village incident.
[Orochimaru]
.
It has been a few days since my talk with the fake Madara.
Hahahah, how can I the Snake Sanin not know that. That man was no Madara. We the children born in the leaf all know of Madara's tales, as well as his prowess.
And being Sarutobi's student, I knew much more. This man who claims to be Madara is simply a jester, a puppet.
But he is giving me good support.
But his plan to ruffle the nations is too premature. He believes he is more cunning than Danzo. But in reality he is a fool.
But his plan does have merit.
I don't need anyone to attack Konoha. Not yet! I almost have everything ready. My perfect body, the impure world resurrection...
Hahahaha, it won't take long. I just need a vessel. A vessel with Madara's eyes…
And I have found just the one.
*Opens a file*
Uchiha Itachi. The prodigy of Konoha. One of the Prince's guards. Hahahahah. This will be perfect.
Once Kakuzu manages to kidnap the prince, everything will fall in place.
.
.
*SWOOSH*
I looked at the source of the noise and there he was… The fake.
He was letting off a dark aura. Which made me turn serious. I was ready to attack anytime.
When I heard.
"Kakuzu and Mori failed. Mori died and Kakuzu was captured.
The prince's guards are stronger than we thought."
I furrowed my brows and asked him, "How can that be? Two S-rank Ninjas just die to some no bodies? Is that samurai that strong?"
Madara shook his head and said, "That doesn't seem to be the case.
Kakuzu appeared to engage alone with them and as for Mori…"
He paused and thought for a moment what to say.
"As for Mori, he died without any resistance. Which should be impossible.
It wasn't a sneak attack, or any kind of attack for the matter.
It appeared as if his brain.. Just exploded from stress… There were only internal damage done. No foreign chakra residue available.
Who ever did that, was someone frighteningly powerful."
I rebuked with an annoyed voice, "What you are describing is the work of a GOD. Give me the damn body and I will analyze it."
Madara nodded and gave me a body after materializing it from his dimension.
'I need those eyes..'
The body I received, had the most gruesomely mangled head. I then put the body on my workstation and was about to dissect it, when Madara said,
"I will be going after the boy with Zetsu. He seems to have both the rings on him. Those are too crucial for our plans…"
Before I could say anything, he disappeared with his detestable ability...
