Puppet Show: Plan

"Let's go!"

The Hatake clan head, swearing on the pride of his clan, was ready to defy the orders of the queen they serve and head back to Roran to protect her.

Many ninjas of Suna were also ready.

But suddenly, a voice came from a Klaxosaur.

"Don't worry. There is no danger. Queen and Kazekage-sama are safe, and are arriving here shortly."

This calmed everyone down.

I looked through the eyes of my Klaxosaur, and sighed as I continued heading towards Suna.

Now that I have a huge amount of chakra, I just need to learn Water style to create water bodies. Though, I don't know much about how to alter the weather so that the evaporated water actually forms cloud over Land of Wind and rain.

Anyway, first I need to think about how to plan the show.

Reto's oldest son, Raka, is 23 years old, and has the strength of an Elite Jonin.

He is currently the leader of Reto's clan, the Subaku clan. It has the most numbers, and has the most influence over Suna.

The second biggest clan is Killa clan, from which Chiyo and Ebizo come from.

These two clans were at each other's necks some years ago.

While Killa clan isn't as strong as Subaku, they had several clans allied to them. Only after the formation of Konoha did they start considering joining hands.

But Hiroshi Killa of Scotch Release is shrewed, that's why he sent his son to Reto and daughter to me to train. Even though he has only the strength of an Elite Jonin, he knows that the tensions between me and Reto will not be easily resolved. That's why he is playing both hands.

Now I can guess why Rasa sent Pakura to her death in canon.

So even if I get rid of Reto and his son, he would outwardly show some dissatisfaction, and then send Ebizo to me to become my student.

My main problem is that I don't know much ninjutsu and genjutsu. I learnt things myself, and from the Samurais at Daimyo's palace.

I had to send my 'little sister' to the palace though, who is my Shadow Clone and is 13, and about to marry his son in some years.

It's a good thing that only Tobirama, or perhaps, some Uchihas who would have copied the jutsu know it, and they are from Land of Fire.

Currently, Reto's son, Raka is the main guard of the Wind Daimyo. He is responsible for the Daimyo's security.

And my horns are special. They allow me to communicate with my Shadow Clone without it popping.

'Lil sis. Pop out while no one is watching.'

She did as I asked, and today's memories flowed into me. It wasn't much. Just the Daimyo's son telling her poems and playing snakes and ladders.

Now, this will provoke conflict between me and Reto, and Daimyo will question Reto's son's capabilities in protecting him if my little sister got abducted and they didn't even know how.

Then, I, his future stepmother, will go to the Daimyo's palace and question his son, and Reto will obviously be accused of assassinating my sister.

This will make things very tense.

And then, I will challenge Reto again, for the position of Kazekage, and to 'avenge' the death of my 'sister'.

With half of Ryumyaku sealed in me, and antidotes against his poison, I will be able to defeat Reto this time.

Afterall, we were almost evenly matched, and he only won because of his poison.

My Klaxosaurs had bitten the flesh of his Scorpions, so I had collected his poisons that time, whose antidote I have gotten.

Moreover, I have a lot more Klaxosaurs with me now.

Soon enough, we reached Suna.

"Don't worry.

Well, first of all, Madara Uchiha is alive."

Everyone gasped.

"Isn't he supposed to be dead!?"

"He was supposed to be. But he is alive. Thankfully, he only came for sight-seeing Roran. And Hokage appeared soon enough and took him back. There is no danger."

"Umm, Ichika-sama, why is Kazekage-sama unconscious?"

"He fainted after seeing Madara."

I didn't explain further, and handed over the body of Reto to his clansmen.

"Alright. Citizens of Roran, there is no danger. Let's head back to Roran."

Everyone from my city jumped back into the mouths of Klaxosaurs, and we headed back to Roran.

Soon enough, the disappearance of my sister will reach me. And the drama will start.
