I don't need you, you need me.
I was on my way to the meeting with the Hokage, with Baki, Koro-sensei and an Anbu squadron, the chances of the old man trying to stab me in the back were low, but Danzo still lived inside the village which means there is a small chance this a trap to lure me out of safety and kill me, and oh boy I wish is that not only I'll kill that bastard, but I will be able to extort Konoha a lot, getting lands and money, after all, is one of their higher-ups tries to assassinate me is basically a war declaration.
The trip was supposed to be a three-day trip if we didn't stop, the Hokage probably picked the samurai land to show his intentions of peace, after all the Samurai will support whoever chose to follow their rules of no fucking fighting while having a meeting inside their country, that's why the Kage summits are usually there.
The land of the samurais is beautiful, they are economically self-sufficient and have no enemies, so they have businesses with all the villages, meaning they are a cash cow.
"Kazekage-sama, you can only take two ninjas with you to the reunion room," A Samurai said, approaching me.
"Understood, Koro, Baki, follow me," As I walked through the hall I felt the chakra of Hiruzen in the room, I knew it was Hiruzen cause there was no fucking way that that old bastard has this kind of warm and welcoming chakra, that's something that is weird with being a sensor each chakra has a different feeling and flavor to say it that way, Orochimaru is cold and smells like dead, while Temari is warm and unpredictable like fire.
Entering the room I started inspecting the room, there was the leader of the Samurais Mifune sitting in the middle of the table, then to the right was the Hokage, with his two bodyguards Shikaku and Kakashi.
"So good to have you here, Kazekage," The Hokage said, blowing his pipe.
"The pleasure is mutual, Hokage," I said in a neutral tone, sitting down.
"The rules are simple, not fights inside our lands, am I clear?" Mifune asked us, to which both the Hokage and myself nodded.
"We heard what happened with your father I must apologize for what Orochimaru did," Hiruzen said with a sad expression.
"Apologizes takes us nowhere old man, you allowed that monster to roam free, and the world is paying for your negligence," I practically hissed in anger.
"You should treat the Hokage with more respect, child," Kakashi said, looking at me.
"Sure I will once he starts doing his damn job," I said with a smirk on my face, "Of course you can come and try to shut me up, but spoiler alert you will die before you have the chance to realize how fucked you are."
Kakashi was about to retort, but Hiruzen stopped him, "I know, and every day I regret not killing him, but we are not here to fight, we are here to form a new alliance,"
"Indeed, that's the plan," I said taking a sip of the tea that the Samurai attendants served, "What I want is simple if you can't provide it, I will take as you don't want to do business with us,"
"What do you want?" Hiruzen asked.
"I need some lands to farm, while I have a method to farm food in the sand, there are some plants that cannot be produced in the harsh environment of the desert," I said looking at Shikaku who seemed unimpressed, maybe they were expecting such request, "That's the first point of business the second one is I want a trade route with Konoha, we want priority when buying goods from you, and we want a discounted price, we are not asking you to lose money, but the taxes can be softened after all we are in an alliance, that all I request,"
"Hmmm, I see you had this planned kid," Hiruzen said with a chuckle.
"Respect the Kazekage old man!" Baki said, almost barking the remark.
"I accept, we have some lands close to your village, that have proved to be exceptional for agriculture, I just request you let the civilians that lived there to stay," Hiruzen said, I nodded after I was not a heartless bastard, "This alliance, of course, will mean we will help you is any village was to call their weapon on you, and that works the other way around."
"Hahaha, I heard Kumo and Iwa are allying, and we both know Iwa hates Konoha, and so does Kumo, so old man, if you really want me to put my ninja's life on the line you are gonna have to offer me something better," I said leaning back on my chair, "Iwa and Kumo have nothing against Suna, so you see this is quite the risk I'm taking."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, as Shikaku whispered something to him, "You are indeed a Kage, you know a war might be in the horizon against Konoha, and as we are right now Kumo and Iwa are too much for us to handle at the same time, an alliance would keep them from making a move,"
"So the way I see it, you need me more than I need you Hokage, so tell me what you can offer me," I said, smiling a bit; things were going my way.
"It would be easier if you just told me what you want if you thought so far ahead, you already know what you want," Hiruzen said with a sigh.
"Hahaha, this is the most fun I have gotten in years old man, yeah I have a list of the demands if you want me to risk everything," I said with a smile, "First I want the Multi shadow clone Jutsu, I've been meaning to study that Jutsu for a while now, I also want all the missions you get around our land to be directed at us first, and last but not least, I want a bride from one of the high clans of Konoha, I know the Uchiha's are almost extinct, but the Hyuga will do."
Hiruzen stood up, looking mildly mad, "You have any idea what are you requesting."
"I think I do, after all, I was the one that requested it," I said with a chuckled as I saw my bodyguards tense up, "I don't want the Hyuga girl to take her byakugan, but too improve my own bloodline, and see it this way old man if I have a Konoha nin living under my roof I would have a reason to keep the alliance."
"Brat..." Hiruzen said, breaking the table with pure chakra pressure.
"Well, it seems we have come to an impasse Hokage, c'est la vie mon ami," I said, starting to leave the room.
"Wait... Konoha accepts this deal if you accept to marry one of the royal kunoichis to one of the heirs in Konoha," Hiruzen said.
"I won't agree on anything, but I will bring it to the girls in question if they happen to accept. I will let you know," I said, knowing full-well that Hiruzen was basically asking for my sister, I won't tremble under you that easy bastard.
"That's acceptable, can we consider the same conditions for the other way around?" Hiruzen asked.
"I want a female heir as my wife Hiruzen, and she has to be my age or younger, or no alliance, Hiruzen, but if it makes you feel better, I won't marry her anytime soon, she can grow in Konoha, but she will be my betrothed," I said with a smile, "I don't pretend to force her to marry me, but... if the case happens where I'm rejected then I want a compensation, maybe another two Jutsu of my choice?"
Hiruzen stood quiet for a moment and sighed, "Deal, so we can consider Suna our ally?"
"Indeed you can Hokage; indeed you can, let us know if you need help," I said as I sat back on my chair.
I made a deal of a lifetime, I manipulated the old man to play under my terms and won some lands, probably a new bloodline or two new powerful Jutsus, as the samurais made the scroll for both of us to sign I started to question what happened with the introvert guy that was shy as fuck, I can kill without remorse now and manipulated others like pieces of chest, well I guess this is how is supposed to be.
I really don't care if Naruto never marries Hinata, the byakugan would give Suna a powerful tool to keep us in balance and a reason for Konoha to stay allied, the other candidate that came to mind was Ino, she was beautiful, and her clan had powerful connection in the political standpoint she was a good option too, while her bloodline was nothing too extraordinary she would still be a great addition to Suna, of course, while my morals and way of thinking have changed a lot I'm not a monster if they don't want me I will request the Hiraishin no Jutsu and the Eight gates.
So regardless of what the old man decided I was winning regardless, I knew for a fact Iwa and Kumo were not even close to declaring war on Konoha, but Hiruzen knew nothing about my future knowledge, so fuck you old man I win, now the only problem is Danzo, he might try to kill me when he finds out how much I'm taking on this deal, but that would only give me a better bargaining token, oh god how I love when I have all the facts and pieces to play these morons to my village benefit.

'Well it seems thanks to the mission I completed becoming a Kage, I'm stronger than Hiruzen,' I thought as I watched their stats.
