Title: Pitch and Naming the Bank

...

Appearing in the air space of the Tengoku clan with Sebas beside me and Eien connected to my ear in from of an ear pod, I look below and then thought. "How should I go about this? I haven't even thought of the speech to give. Should I just wing it?"

"Sir, it's advisable to go with the arrogant young master style." Eien voice rang from my ear.

"Mm, why would you say so?" I frowned slightly in confusion.

"Although you could use minute illusion to persuade them to sign this voucher to you, there is a possibility of them reaching for a mile longer with you, after all, it's in the Human's nature to be greedy, However, if you approach them in an unreasonable and arrogant manner, there's a higher possibility of them taking you seriously coupled with the presence Sebas would projects." Eien explained.

Hmm... That's quite the interesting theory, however they're my descendants so going through with the first case is the way to go. Of course, if they try to reach for a mile, I would just have to cut down their stupidity.

I should probably have a bloodline suppression kinda effect on them. "Alright, let see as it goes first." I said and we descended at an extremely fast speed that it looked like teleportation to the guards who were startled at our abrupt entrance.

"Halt! State you name and reason for coming here." A guard shouted and asked while unleashing his aura. Cute.

I didn't speak as I had my hands in my kimono while looking like some bigshot as Sebas behind me bowed curtly and said. "Forgive our intrusion but my young master would like to have an audience with your Patriarch."

Seeing that the two men in front of him didn't even react to his aura and still answered him politely, like a wise man he was, he retracted his aura and said. "Mm. I'll pass the message across, for now, would you please follow me."

"It'll be more appreciated if you would let them know it's an urgent matter." Sebas added as he stepped back for me to walk forward.

What a good Butler he is.

I maintained my indifference as I walked into the clan compound and to say I was impressed would be an understatement. Seems like after my clone left them to their devices a couple years back, they hadn't regressed but actually progressed.

Well, that's what I seem to be seeing on the surface, not my business though, it'll become my business when Hashirama and Madara are born. I should likely keep surveillance on anyone who will have a slight resemblance of my chakra in them by then.

Soon, we were brought to a Japanese styled room and asked to wait for while. I had to seat seiza style while Sebas stood respectfully behind me. Fruits and tea were served to which I helped myself to.

Shortly afterwards, the guard returned, bowed and said respectfully. "The patriarch and the elders would like to see you now."

"Hum." I hummed and sat up and looked at him.. Getting the hint, he began walking, this time Sebas walked in front as I followed behind. I could get used to this.

I didn't get this kind of respect even when I was a general back in the Blackstone Valley. Maybe I should call Juyu over, she was a good protector and could pass as a good maid too.

While I was thinking this, we arrived in front of a huge building from which I could feel very vast amounts of chakra from different individuals, their chakra even excelled that of Sebas who I had programmed to have the limit of 100,000 chakra units.

As expected of my clan. Super Kage ranked experts are as common as Kage ranked individuals from the future.

Wait. What if this rank I assumed to be Super Kage is actually Kage ranked power level.

Back when I was making up this power levels, I had assumed that once your chakra becomes liquid, you've reached the threshold of Kage, what if that level is actually Jounin and the Liquid chakra is Kage?

Hah, anyways, my clan is strong. If it happens that 100k chakra level is just Kage, then I'd just have to reprogram my puppets to hold even greater amounts of chakra.

The guard knocked slightly and a deep voice sounded out. "Enter."

The guard looked at us, pushed the doors open and said. "After you."

Sebas nodded and then walked into the hall in an elegant manner with me following. As soon as I entered, I could feel several spiritual energy fluctuation wash over us which I allowed to do as I couldn't care less if they found the amount of chakra I currently possess.

After all, they would only feel what I want them to feel, but still.

"That isn't a nice way to greet your quests, is it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow with annoyance dripping from my tone.

"Haha, forgive our lack of courtesy, it's not every day a youth such as your self and someone as strong as your subordinate come to visit us. The sheer amount of Chakra you both possess is uncharacteristic for people outside a certain influence." The man, whom I assumed to be the patriarch answered. He was seated at Central chair so that should say wonders.

"Mm. I've been told as such for quite sometime now, but that doesn't warrant such misconducts, please refrain from doing such in the future, after all, were prospective business partners." I said, diverting their attention to my main purpose of coming here today.

"About that, you did request an audience, the reason for that is beyond me still." The patriarch said.

"Hm. I did request an audience with the patriarch, but I see quite the number of people gathered here, don't tell me the Tengoku clan is being ruled by several old men," I said while looking at the old men deep in the eyes.

No matter how they look physically, they were still children in front of me so I couldn't be bothered by the various looks they all had as they looked at me.

"That wasn't intentional you see, it's not everyday people such as yourself come to our island."

"Such as myself?"

"Yes, such as yourself. We do have a basic intel on every person on this island and we all could feel the chakra emanated from your subordinate over there." The Patriarch answered.

Oh... So that's the case. Eien, why wasn't made aware of that?

[I assumed it was done intentionally by you, master.] Came Eien's reply.

But... Nah. Never mind. It turned out to be actually help out now. This way, I wouldn't have to fear any much opposition. Wait is this why you asked me to go with the arrogant young master template?

[Yes, Master.]

Hmm... I see..

"Since we're all here then I'd rather skip all pleasantries and go straight to the point. You see, I came bearing both a request and an opportunity." I began my speech.

"I have noticed that for quite sometime now, outside this island, there has been a multiple cases of requests from Daimyos using their influence on lands to ask several warring clans to fight against eachother for some monetary benefits which won't last long in their hands before it is plundered by another clan stronger than themselves." I noticed their attention wasn't leaving me at all and I continued.

"This also applies to every individual respectively. We all have several useful objects of value which we can't keep on our person for fear of it being stolen. We hide them, or bury them. What if there was a place where you can keep all these things without fear of them being stolen or tampered with? A place where whatever you put in in secret will remain secret till the day you come to retrieve it."

Spreading my hands dramatically, I continued. "I have such a place. No, I am such a place. I decided to come over to this clan as this is one of the most ancient clans in this world's history together with the Senju/Uzumaki and Uchiha clan. This is my request and your opportunity. What do you think?" I asked.

They all looked rather disgruntled at the concept of what I just said.

After a while looking at eachother, an elder seated beside the patriarch asked. "Not that I'm doubtful of you but you know that this looks suspect on so many levels right?"

"How so?" I raised and eyebrow.

"If we were to assume you became this strong on your own, then only you alone is not enough to protect our valuables. What if a hundred people as strong as you decide to attack you? That's just the first, what about your base of operations? How can we contact you?..." He asked some other questions related to the safety of this project of mine.

You may wonder why no one is outrightly rejecting me or something like that right?

Hah, although I'm against compelling someone to do my bidding, I'm not against nudging them toward a direction. That's something I've come to realize God's in mythology always do. A little application of the spiritual energy.

"That isn't a problem." Snapping my finger, a sheet of paper came out with various writings on them. Terms and conditions, and also, an undertaking to serve as a viable guarantor. "If you believe me well enough, you just have to use your clan head token to stamp right here and every other thing would be made know clear to you."

I floated the paper over to the clan head which he caught and read through. "This... Establishment of yours, what's the name?"

Ah!.... Name. I didn't think of that. Eien any ideas here?

[##££#££@@£] Eien's voice came out all distorted.

What the fuck? This guy's is bailing on me? Damn. I ain't good with name so what should we do now?

"The First Bank." I blurted out after my little tryst in my head in thought acceleration.

"First Bank, huh? Interesting." The patriarch said and then passed the paper around.

"You know, for all the knowledge we are lauded to possess, I find it disturbing that we didn't think of this. With this idea, you'll probably monopolize the economy of this world in a few years. Umu, I wish you luck in your endeavours." The patriarch said and at the same time, the paper came back to him to which he stamped and passed back to me.

Sebas collected the paper and folded it nicely after inspecting it. Seeing this, I smiled and said. "Not that I expected anything less, alright, the few of you here, come with me." Saying that, I tapped the space in front of me and a crack appeared before me.

Holding it by the sides, I pulled them apart and made a whole wide enough to accommodate anyone passing through. Without looking back to look at what expression they had at that moment, I walked through with Sebas following behind.
