Assassination Plan

I deactivated my Dragon Mode, and the chakra construct in the shape of a dragon disappeared, but my Klaxo-armoured bodysuit, along with the tail, wings and tentacles remained.

I guess they will remain permanent. And it will take some time to be able to use all this chakra at the same time. I used only 10% of the chakra sealed in me.

I took out a kunai, and made a cut on my face. It instantly regenerated, too fast than previously, when I held only some chakra of Ryumyaku.

Now, I am sure that the deadly poison that only paralysed me before, would not work since I also have the antidote, and this ridiculous regeneration.

I can kill Reto now.

Sigh. If only I had the Four Symbol seal and found Klaxosaur Princess's corpse before my battle against him.

I used my telepathy for Klaxosaurs, and activated the ones still buried, started coming to the ground while digging out the previous human settlements.

I could see and feel through every Klaxosaur, it was overwhelming. It will take me a some time to get used to.

After some hours, everything of use buried underneath came out.

I flew towards the biggest human settlement.

From above, it seemed like it was mostly intact, just deactivated due to lack of energy.

I descended into the base, and looked around.

The technology here is just amazing. If it can be replicated and adapted to chakra, it will surely bring Land of Wind to the top.

Unless another Hashirama and Madara appear, obviously.

I found a very big settlement, where thousands of people were inside some machines. They weren't breathing, but that's because their energy supply has been cut off. Otherwise, they have cracked immortality if not for this realm getting destroyed.

Though, this immortality is sick, like Infinite Tsukuyomi where they dream about porn and stuff.

Anyway, I also found a very big library. Which likely contained all the knowledge.

It will take years to study these.

I then headed to the palace, where 'Sages' that they called themselves lived, and sat down on the decaying throne.

I will repair these things later.

Now, I started thinking about how to assassinate Reto.

In a direct confrontation, I have the confidence that I will be able to kill him. But, it won't look good to take power this way. There will be dissatisfaction from many.

First step, that was to drop Reto's popularity to the ground, is already complete. Many people are angry, so I wouldn't be the only one who will be a suspect.

My 'sister', who is actually my Shadow Clone, hasn't been assassinated yet. And she will pop herself if something unusual happens.

It is unusual that Reto didn't try to assassinate her, or frame her of assassinating someone in the Daimyo's palace.

What is he upto?

I summoned myself back to my secret lab in the palace, and controlled my Zero Two puppet to go to the throne room, and called my Samurai head.

"Did something happen while I was gone?"

"Kazekage-sama came himself to meet you. And when we informed him that you are busy, he asked you to meet him.

And ah. Yesterday , a messenger delivered this scroll for you."

He handed me the scroll. Is it a suicide mission or something? Like 'assassinate Hashirama'? He wouldn't be as stupid as the head of Waterfall village, would he?

"You can go now."

He bowed and left.

I read it, and was shocked by his audacity.

It was a marriage proposal!

Isn't he 40 something, and has multiple wives!?

I skimmed through the flattery and ordering tone, including 'for the greater good of Suna', and realised what he wanted to do.

On the outside, he is showing that he values me as a high-ranking and powerful, both individually and politically, member of Suna.

Therefore, he doesn't want discord, and wants to strengthen the unity of Suna through this political marriage.

But on the inside, it is a plan to make me pregnant, kill me when I am weakened, and use the child to control Ryumyaku.

Moreover, he has 13 kids. 3 are around my age. So, the 'political marriage' could have happened between me and one of his son.

But that will benefit me, since I would become directly on-line for the next Kazekage, and any of his children doesn't have the strength to suppress me. And he probably doesn't trust his children to not turn against him with my little persuasion.

If I refuse, he will use it to ruin my reputation using my unwillingness to work for the stability of Suna.

This would have been a smart move, if I was stupid. But, didn't he just give me a perfect chance and prepared the perfect scapegoats for his assassination?

Do I have plot armour?

Or is he just that stupid and confident that I can't kill him?

Wives and concubines killing the husband, sons and daughters killing their parents, students killing their teachers... These things are very common in this world.

By proposing to me, he has not only offended his wives, but his children too.

Why not have his family kill him?

And at the same time, kill the Daimyo and his family?

Afterall, until Hashirama is alive, there will be no war. It is the best time to get rid of the Daimyo too.

The First Ninja War will happen, but being allied with Konoha, even though Land of Wind will be hit hard, it will be a good experience for the ninjas to fight in large scale war instead of from their clans. External enemies will unite the people of the country.

I smiled.

Thank you Reto for giving me the perfect opportunity.

Now I have to figure out how to control his family to do the job for me.

For now though, let's reply positively.

I am delighted by your proposal, Kazekage-sama. I would like to invite you and your whole family to a party in my palace and discuss about this. I will tell you the date at a later date.

Hmm, this reply seems appropriate.

I rang the bell, and my Samurai came.

"Is Kazekage-sama's messenger still in Roran?"

"Yes your Majesty."

"Then send him in."

After a while, the messenger came.

"Please deliver this message to Kazekage-sama. I will be busy in the preparations, so I will come to Suna to tell the date for the party personally."

I dismissed him, and after he left, I smirked.

I telepathically told my small Klaxosaurs to spread the news to Suna.

That will surely anger his family.
