For the 5th year that is only the first of this year, I started my plans for future wars. For this reason, I started to took a vacation and started to travel across this ninja world planting Flying Raijin seals to teleport in case of emergency.
First I went to Hidden Sand Village where I planted a seal 10 meters away from their borders on a desert tree and took a quick look inside to find if anything is interesting, and I found something which was very interesting that is Kazekage is contacting and trying to make a deal with Orochimaru. This news made me excited, and I started to prepare for another round of merits, and whether to keep the Third or let him die, this is a critical question since if he dies, I won't have a backer and most importantly Miko will be sad. I have to think about this part thoroughly well there is still time let's think about it later.
After this tour of Hidden Sand Village, I moved towards the cave where Akatsuki killed Gara and pulled Shukaku out to let the Ten-tails swallow. Placing the seal here and remembering all the places carefully while placing some small tricks inside, I exited and moved towards another place.
From here I moved towards the Hidden Cloud Village where I looked for the place that two-tails fought against Hidan and Kakuzu. It took quite a while but I still found it and placed the seals there. The place looked like some underground maze, not caring about this I moved towards the next location.
Like this one by one, I placed seals on all the places that in the future Akatsuki will kill the Jinchuriki. To be prepared for just in case of an emergency since I know that the fourth war is inevitable since with my current strength I can't kill Tobi, let alone pain not to mention back Zetsu this guy hides too deeply. A 1000-year-old Monster like him will definitely have many tricks and trump cards under his sleeve no less in strength in Madara himself. I took a circle of the whole NInja world and returned to the Land of Lightning.
Once this part was cleared I moved towards the location where the fourth great ninja war will take place. I put the seal in Raikage's office and the base location where the missions and intelligence would be given. when I was there consulting some diplomatic matters that Hokage-sama sent me and a Nara clan member to discuss. This was also when I gained the real rights of power in the Village and entered the Core circle even though the rights are still very small, but anyway, rights are rights power is power with my current strength and If the plan I have sketched goes smoothly then there is no one having higher rights then me (in theory.)
Other places like the beach where Darui took his First division of Allied Shinobi Forces to fend off against Zetsu and the reanimated corpses summoned by Kabuto placing seals and taking a look, remembering the terrain I left the place heading towards the next one that is the forest where Kakashi is in-charge and fights against the re-animated seven ninja swordsman of mist and Pakura from Sand village and many others, as it is a forest I had the leisure to place many traps so that the sealing squad in the future can quickly seal the corpses that are caught in these traps.
The next location was to the northern edge of Land of Lightning where the Second division with Kitsuchi as in-charge will fight this location wasn't much different from so the same measures were taken except the area was more plain lands so I made some extra pits.
On to the desert, the 2nd most Important location since many Super-Kage-level ninjas were fighting here like Third Raikage, Second Tsuchikage even some Kage-levels like Fourth Kazekage and others. Most important of all this is the place where Uchiha Madara was re-animated. So I placed more importance on this place and putting more seals in various locations and I didn't place any traps since they couldn't amount much against these old monsters.
The last location was the place that Ten-tails was summoned and started the last fight against the whole Allied Shinobi forces which decides the fate of this Ninja-world, and I don't think there is to emphasize the importance of this place. So I started preparing that is only placing seals all over the place. So that when the time comes I can teleport to every little spot in the surrounding area.
I also took this chance to go and have a look at Orochimaru's little Hidden Sound village which I didn't like much since the atmosphere here was very gloomy so I took a quick look and left.
Oh and I forgot to mention the little hole that Kabuto hid in was also scouted by me and was placed the seal on. All this work took 5 months of my leave. With only a month remaining I moved towards the Land of Iron to complete the last part of this little tour and in addition to seeing if I could get anything out of here.
Reaching outside the Land of Iron I saw three horrifying mountains that looked like three wolf claws and from what I have heard the land of iron is situated in the middle of these three mountains. Fascinated by this scenery it took a couple of minutes to calm down and I headed inside.
There are not many cities here but only a few villages and some hidden locations which are the places where ancient samurai families live now, these are the families from before the ninja villages were created.
I headed straight to the Main city where all the samurais gather and also the place where the future 5-kage meeting will take place. Heading inside I first decided to place the seal on the building, that Kage-meeting will take place. After completing the last part of the plan I relaxed and started to roam around the city.
At this time a rundown blacksmith shop attracted my attention. With curious eyes, I headed towards the shop and looked passionately at a sword that is placed aside on a corner of the shop. The sword looked a bit solid but somewhat brittle which might be the cause that the shop owner placed this sword aside but this is not what attracted me but the affinity it had with me and my space type chakra yes space type this type of chakra only covers a small part of my huge Kage-level chakra reserve, but this chakra is the most important since Flying Raijin no Jutsu uses this part of my chakra.
It is also this Jutsu which that lead me to have it in the first place since the more you use Flying Raijin the more you interact with the space around you and the more you interact with space the more affinity you will have with it leading to start trying to accumulate space type chakra inside of you, but this jutsu is very hard to practice so only fourth Hokage and Second Hokage have been able to do so before me.
Seeing my passionate gaze on the sword the shop owner knew that he can make large money this time. So he started to think about what prize to offer.
At this time without turning my head away from the sword I asked the owner.
"What is the prize of the sword."
He was taken aback at my voice since he was in contemplation and absent-mindedly replied.
"700,000 Ryo."
To which I just threw him a small bag and directly took away the sword from the shelf and walked away. He just blankly caught the bag and looked at my silhouette disappearing into the crowd.
After getting the sword I tested it by attaching a part of the space chakra onto the edges and swung it in the air, this caused the space in front of me to distort, seeing I got excited and swung the sword a few more times leading the space in the surrounding to become chaotic.
After this little enjoyment, I moved towards a tall building that is the main office where all the Samurai gather and get their task from the head, Mifune.
Coming here sneaked into Mifune's office and had small talk with him and asked him to have a sword discussion. To which he agreed after some contemplation and decided to fight tonight In his backyard, he agreed since he felt some threat from me and this feeling he has not met for many years from a Samurai cause he was invincible in the ranks when using the sword.
I fought him that night with only sword art I couldn't defeat but I did learn very much from watching and experiencing his fighting style while he also liked this small bout and asked me to come again when I have time. This discussion led us to have a small relation as we continued to chat about the situation of the ninja world currently which continued till the next morning when I got up ready to return while He also had his duties to attend. Saying goodbye I left.
Reaching an unnamed land with no one around I used Flying Raijin to return to the village. Outside a distance from the Konoha, I walked slowly marveling at this huge gate, taking a deep breath I slowly murmured.
" I am back"
