Chapter 20
[ Narrator - recap ]
Well Zed had given part of his wealth to support the upcoming war since his village can be considered the weakest among the 5 great villages. In exchange of the support he gave, he got some benefits and favours from one of the civilian Elders.
The first benefit Zed received is having automatic access to the village's new school policy that allows talented children to enroll. This star academy can be considered the pinnacle of training when it comes to the village's academy, since it has all the modern training equipments and better education.
Second benefit is having all ninja equipments he needs or wants in the future be given to him free of charge , whether it is a kunai, ninja attire , shuriken and others.
And the last one being a secret.

[ Village council - Kazekage Office ]
It's been some time since one of the council members who belongs to the civilian council paid young Suzuki a visit, right now there have been far too many surprises and changes that has happened before the main war starts.
For Sunagakure these changes will not affect it much, but would rather bring them benefit, so today the entire council have been called to discuss their next actions.
After some time all the council gathered the in the office of the Kazekage for the discussion to begin :
Lord Kazekage," I have called you all to gather here today to discuss the current situation regarding the cloud and the leaf village, what happen between the two was very interesting. "
When the Kazekage ended his words he waited for the rest of the members to give their suggestions.
Coincidentally all the members had all their hands up because the current situation can be tipped into their favour if they played their cards right .
But before the Kazekage selected one of the members, he got up and gave all of the members a smile, why because the Kazekage found the situation funny, so he spoke saying ," someone should retell what went on between the two villages ".
Elder Chiyo the leader of the Sunagakure Puppet Brigade began to speak," well this is what happened during the course of the week, shinobis from cloud ( Kumo ) attempted attacked the Jinchūriki the leaf ( Konoha )again who apparently was discovered by the near by leaf shinobi.
Although this isn't the first time that cloud. ( Kumo ) have done this, we haven't found out why they are so insistent on the Jinchūriki."
" The attempted kidnapping led to small clash between the shinobis of the two villages. It was a difficult battle at the earlier stages because the shinobis of the two villages were evenly matched, that is until Minato of the leaf a young but powerful shinobi of the leaf appear out of no where and began to slaughter the enemy ninjas."
"This time the leaf doesn't want a peace deal with the cloud but war rather, leading to a pretty good advantage for us Suna."
[ Clash done ]
The Kazekage gave a little chuckle then asked for suggestions....
All the members presented their own answers to this situations but the one the Kazekage liked most was the one that included forming an alliance with another village .
For now the Kazekage didn't mention what village they were going to form an alliance with but it was going to be between the village hidden by leaves or the village hidden by clouds.
With that the meeting came to an end.

[ somewhere in Konoha ]
??? ," Minato come here."
Minato moved forward to the person that called him.
???," Although you handled the situation in an excellent way, you need to be careful it seems that the clouds have an eye on your future wife, so you need to take care of her well.
Minato replied with one knee down and capped his hands after that he was escorted by ninjas out of a building that blended in with the leaves around it.
When was leaving he said to himself while clenching his fist," I need more power to defend those around me, if not for meeting ???? by stroke of luck I wouldn't even be here. This has been the second time Kushina has been targeted by the cloud.
This was the only thing in minato's mind when he left the mysterious building.

[ Zed POV ]
'So they really took the money huh, these people are too petty, can't the main clans of Sunagakure contribute. Humans are truly cunning, even though their own village is in danger they will still look for their own interests.'
Walking out of training area, I proceeded to take the path to my bathroom. I wanted to just take a bath and clear my head since I've been trying to get this new skill that can help me in combat but to no avail. sometime earlier, I had the idea of using the skills of various characters in the animes and stories I had seen or heard of in my past life know.
Currently the move I'm trying to learn is from marvel, specifically Dr. strange, the time when they fought Thanos along with the guardians of the galaxy, the move it deals with walking in the air with the help of mystic arts, I'm trying to learn that move because I keep having feelings it will help me in the long run.
Aside from the move creation, my control in Eldritch energy has improved greatly after all that body training and control training, it no longer takes that much tolls on my body like it used to when I unlocked it.
