333. Answer for an Answer

It had been a few days and now Alexander understood everything about the world. For some reason, he had a feeling that someone was continuously forcing the world into a fight again and again.

He had gone to a few restricted libraries and for the whole history of humanity, he could only see conflicts. There was also something that caught his interest.

Even though there were Hidden villages that were so powerful and their villages also had its leaders who were like the big representatives of the whole country, but there were still Daimyos in each country.

Daimyos were nothing but super rich and physically weak feudal lords with just political power to order anyone in the country around, even the Shinobi.

This system was both good and bad in Alexander's eyes. Good because this kept the normal people away from the matters of Shinobi that mainly involved a lot of fighting.

Bad because the whole civilian part of the country was left to fend for itself while the people in Hidden village enjoyed the protection and better life.

It was like, there was a country within a country. Also, these small Hidden villages were still powerful enough to start world wars, that was way more power than a village should hold.

War destroys the economy. The Hidden villages don't get that affected by it, but the rest of the country does. Just like Ame.

"Hmmm, I am confused about whether to take a direct approach or a planned approach?" Alexander loudly muttered.

"Ummm, why not do both? I mean, no matter what, staying low for us is kind of impossible. I'm sure someone is already investigating us because of these two." Douglas said and pointed at Berry and Hats.

Douglas was somewhat right. "Yeah, let's just go with the flow. Let's go and catch this Hanzo and find the Tailed beasts. Who knows in what condition those poor beasties are."

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Suddenly someone knocked on their hotel room door. They were all in the room so there shouldn't be anyone who knows they were here.

Alexander went and opened it. He found about 5 men standing there. There were 5 more hiding here and there.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" He asked.

"Did you just enter Ame from Fire Country?" The man asked.

Alexander raised an eyebrow. He had not sensed himself being followed this whole time.

"First, tell me who you are and why are you asking me this question. Because as far as I can remember, I have done nothing to be visited by the Police. And guessing from your headbands, Konoha's Shinobis surely don't have the authority to police around in Ame." Alexander stated.

Sakumo Hatake knew Alexander was right. Ame was neutral in all the conflict going on till now, that is why they were able to come here but they could not take any provocative action while they stayed here, lest they might start a war.

"We received the report about a disturbance in the forest near Tanzaku town, people reported about weird animals there. We are investigating who it was." Sakumo honestly told him.

"Oh, so you want to check if I am some kind of spy. Well, I am just an old merchant. The animals you are talking about are them." Alexander pointed to Berry and Hats back in the room, playing chess with each other.

Sakumo looked at them and confirmed that they were not tailed beasts but normal animals. Maybe not that normal after he saw them playing some sort of game.

"Can I come inside?" Sakumo asked.

"Sure, but only you can. Tell your boys to grab a bite from downstairs, the bill is on me." He shrugged and led Sakumo in.

"Hats, Berry, make way for us to sit." He ordered them and the two furries carefully took their game to another room.

This at least cleared Sakumo's doubts about their intelligence. The animals could understand the human tongue.

Alexander gave him tea and sat down. He was as much interested in knowledge as the other guy. "So, what can I do for you, Shinobi?"

Sakumo felt weird being called Shinobi again and again so he decided to introduce himself first. "I should introduce myself first. I am Sakumo Hatake, a Jonin(Elite/High Ninja) from Konoha."

"Hmm, I am Alexander Maxim Universe," Alexander replied.

Sakumo's brows lifted up in suspicion. He had never heard of such a name. "Where are you from?"

Alexander stopped his urge to say a Galaxy far far away. "Ah, I am just a wandering old man. I have no fixed home."

Sakumo looked at him doubtfully, "Then can you answer some of my questions?"

"Only if you can answer some of mine," Alexander talked back.

"What do you want to ask?" Sakumo asked, keeping his senses high.

"Locations of all the Jinchuriki." Alexander blurted.

Sakumo's eyes widened, "What are you planning too with them?"

"No no, you answer me first now, then you get your next answer." Alexander reminded him.

Sakumo quickly thought about only telling him about the Jinchuriki in other villages. "Well, they say there is a Jinchuriki in Sunagakure(Hidden Sand Village). But we could never confirm that because nobody has been able to find him.

"Then there is two-tails, currently in possession of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village). The three-tails is most likely in Kirigakure but not much is known about that either.

"The last we know, the four-tails was in Iwagakure's (Hidden Rock Village) possession. But no one has seen that man in years. The Jinchuriki is known as Roshi.

"The five-tails is also in possession of Iwagakure. The six-tails is in Kirigakure, Seven-tails is in Takigakure.

"The eight-tails is also in Kumogakure. It is widely known that the Jinchiriki is the adopted son of 3rd third Raikage. He's just a boy and already has full control over his powers."

Alexander thought he would continue but Sakumo stopped. Alexander sensed his uncertainty, "I can sense tension."

Then he was hit with a realization, "Oh, Kurama-chan is in Konoha?"

Sakumo just now realized that he had spoken too much for some reason. It was like an instinct for him, to just go ahead and trust the old man with life.

Nobody knew the name of 9 tail fox so he was confused by the name Kurama. "Who is Kurama?"

"Haha, you people dare to enslave them, use them as weapons of war, and don't even bother asking their names. A human even treats a street cat better than you all are treating an extremely sentient species. You just saw them as powerful monsters. Your first Hokage was as dumb as humans can ever get. I can't see any sense in distributing all the tailed beasts to different villages like it was a festival after he won the first war." Alexander distastefully scoffed.

"Okay, I answered your question. I want you to do the same. Why are you asking for all the Jinchuriki?" Sakumo asked, holding back his urge to fight the man and just take him as a prisoner.

Alexander stood up for the inevitable, "I am going to release them. Those poor children have suffered enough. I should have been here for them."

Sakumo stood up with his kunai out because Alexander had just declared he was going to come to Konoha to take the 9 tails, which was Konoha's precious property.

"Go away kid, you can't defeat me even if there were a million of you," Alexander warned him and got to pack his bags.

"HATS, BERRY, DOUGLAS, TIME TO LEAVE," Alexander shouted to the freeloaders in other rooms.

Soon the three came with their small bags on their backs.

"Where do you think you are going? I am not done with you yet." Sakumo calmly said in a provocative tone.

Alexander uninterestingly looked back at him. "Okay, I want you to try your best attack on me. I won't even move."

Sakumo was on full alert at the moment. Not knowing if he should go ahead and try or be careful.

Not wanting to leave a possible enemy of Konoha behind. He went ahead with the most destructive jutsu he could use from such a close range.

[Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu]

Sakumo used the fire Jutsu that was very efficient at short range. He knew that it would make a big boom and the room might even blow up and damage a big part of the building but he still did it. He was ready to talk to Hanzo later.
