Chapter-34: Aftermath of the invasion and Travelling to Kiri!
The destruction in Konoha was far more than canon this time.
Because of Kazuya's influence, Konoha almost fell from it's grace and turned into dust.
Keyword being 'almost.' as he sent the tip to Jiraiya as well as civilian council about wrongdoings of Shimura Danzo.
This alerted all of them instantly and Jiraiya quickly came back to Konoha along with Tsunade.
The civilian council was trying to solve it in their own way but they were just a group of people who had political power only. They had no real power that was needed to suppress Danzo.
This incited a lot of violence between the group and was finally settled after civilian council chose to punish Danzo and offered Jiraiya and Tsunade to become the Hokage.
Naturally both of them refused but because of Jiraiya's spymaster job and important missions, Tsunade had to take on the job of Hokage, albeit reluctantly.
Tsunade quickly dissolved ROOT and warned Danzo to not cross his limits after breaking into ROOT headquarters and beating a lot of the ROOT members in her way.
What was Kazuya doing during this time?
He was travelling to Land of waves. He left his clone in Konoha to not raise suspicion.
It had been a month since all this happened.

(Kazuya POV)
After arriving to Land of waves, I was surprised.
The development happening here was far more than I thought it to be. The area was basically flourishing.
I was getting proper reports every now and then but it's still surprising to see it with my own eyes.
I went to the house right in the heart of Land of waves. This house was the treasury according to my memories.
"I went inside and found Haku sitting inside, calculating and counting a lot of money.
"Haku, I'm back." I said as sat on the chair.
"Hm?" He said as he looked up to me.
"I am not a clone. I am the real one. I am back." I said with a smile.
He instantly stood up and kneeled.
"Oh, Kazuya-sama-" He tried saying but I cut him off.
"Come on, don't use honorifics like that. It makes me feel really distant. Bring me all the reports now. I want to check if what I did was worth it or not." I said as I started undoing all my clones one by one and checking their memories.
I got an absurd amount of knowledge from each one of my clones and it took me nearly 2 hours to check them all roughly. I won't be checking the finer details right now as I am extremely tired from checking the memories right now.
After opening my eyes, I found a bundle of files ready to reviewed and Haku was sitting on the same chair while calculating something.
I picked up all the files and started checking everything.
The progress was going in extremely smoothly.
The mining as well as weapon making was still going on and the mines weren't running dry at all. According to rough estimations, this process can be done for around 20 years at same pace and reserves still won't hit the critical point.
The natural resources in Elemental Nations are way more than earth. So much so that I was astounded by it.
Presence of so much resources was extremely strange but then again, this is Elemental Nations.
This might be related to presence of Natural chakra or something along those lines.
Nearly 10 million Kunai, 30 million Shuriken and 2 million explosion tags were ready and stored in warehouses along with 5 million special weapons like swords, knives etc.
The quantity is insanely high and I can easily proceed with my next set of plans right away.
I immediately created a lot of clones, roughly same as many I left and asked them to return to their duties and I went to these warehouses and collected all these weapons in my inventory.
I went to the room where Haku was and saw that he was asleep on the desk.
Looks like he was working quite hard, eh?
Best 5000 points I spent.
I covered him with a blanket and went inside one of the rooms and slept for the day.
I will go to Kirigakure next day.
.

After waking up, I took a bath immediately headed out for Kirigakure along with Haku.
I was wearing ANBU like clothing with a plain black mask, covering my whole effectively, save for my eyes.
It took me around 3 to 4 days to get to borders of Kirigakure, where I was immediately greeted by a couple of ninjas.
"Stop right there! What is your purpose of coming to Kirigakure?" One of them asked.
"I am weapon merchant, sir." Haku said.
I was like a bodyguard for Haku right now. I wanted to hide my identity for the time being.
"Where are your weapons then? And who is that person with black mask on?" ninjas asked as they prepared to fight.
"My weapons are stored away in a scroll and the person behind me is...my body guard. Now will you please let us enter?" Haku said as he brough a stack of Ryo towards that ninja's and immediately stabbed his neck with an ice senbon.
The rogue ninja's body instantly went limp and using the rogue ninja's body as meat shield, Haku used Demonic Mirroring Ice crystals on the group of ninjas and quickly neutralized them.
I simply put their bodies inside his inventory as he didn't want to deal with them right now.
After traveling a bit, I stopped Haku from walking and asked him to stand by for now and set a small camp.
After that, I created a lot of clones and send them to get basic awareness of the terrain, track Mei terumi's location and locate Kirigakure.
My purpose is to assist both sides into fighting and ending this long war while also trapping them inside a deadly trap.
After a few minutes, a few clones burst and told me the location of Kirigakure and the other clones were still searching for location of Mei Terumi.
It wasn't an easy job to do, after all.
Mei Terumi was an extremely important person who was in charge of opposing Bloody mist. I'd would be surprised if he found her location anytime soon, on my own.
My best bet was to find her was that she came to him on his own.
Kazuya left the clones searching for Mei alone and went to Kirigakure alone.
He asked Haku to stand by on the camp so that the danger to him is minimized.
The plan was to infiltrate Kirigakure but suddenly thought of something.
'What would be the best method to visit the current Mizukage, safely and attract Mei as well?'
The answer to that was to announce his own presence, voluntarily.
But he cannot hide his identity with a Henge. These were Kage level experts, they will instantly detect him.
So, he started messing around with system now.
'How much for a skill that can hide my face, chakra signature as well as the chakra quantity from everyone except me?'
[50,000 points. Can manipulate presence and appearance according to user's liking. Undetectable by anyone without perception roughly equivalent to Rinne-sharingan.]
'How many points do I have?'
[10,000,000 points.]
'Aren't they supposed to be more? I got a lot from my first torture session and it's been a long time since that happened.'
[The point generation slows down because of user. No errors were made by system during the measurement. The reason is predicted to be acceptance of torture and the current lifestyle of the people.]
'Whatever. I have more than enough for now.'
I bought the skill and immediately reduced my presence to that of a normal civilian and my appearance to my old self.
I missed my old appearance a lot...
5'11", thin nose, somewhat muscular build, high cheekbones, prominent jawline and jet black hair.
My skin color was somewhat dark due to visiting beaches with b*tches quite frequently so I changed that a relatively fair one and my hair were a little too long as well so I made them short.
I also didn't get expose all my tattoos...except my main one, that was under my eyes. It had my name written there.
Kazuya in Kanji. Written with "one" and "superiority".
I liked my name but not my surname. I didn't get it tattooed because of my hatred towards my family.
It's time to start playing in Kirigakure.
