59 59.Milky Milky Boy
People of Konoha were seeing something strange happening in the village these days. All of sudden, people had started to talk about Hashirama and criticised him that although he used to talk about so-called peace, peace was far from home.
In the current era, nearly everyone had lost someone to the previous 3 wars and it left a bad taste for everyone.
They started to question the wars. They started to question why the hell did Hashirama give the other tailed beasts away. If they still had all of them then they'd be the strongest village, they could've stopped the war from happening in the first place.
The trick to peace does not mean equal distribution of power. The trick is to have one country be so strong they can threaten others to not wage war. There must always be someone holding a dagger at the other's throat, so nobody becomes too ambitious.
However, what people could not imagine was the other path for peace, which Shiroken followed. This path involved turning the world into one giant country, rather than having small ones. Sure, there will be conflicts at the start but for how long? Sooner than later, people will start inter-marriage. When there will be children with mixed backgrounds, who will they discriminate against?
Anyway, the Konoha dwellers slowly started to question the priorities. Shouldn't the village focus on the people now that the wars are over? Why are they still hearing news of some ninja dying in some country? Why were their children being sent on risky missions?
Shiroken had already deployed some people to enter the village as traders. They spread some books there, their names were also catchy, "A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHAKRA", "PEACE = MURDER, ENSLAVEMENT & GENOCIDE" & "HASHIRAMA, THE GODLY FOOL OF SHINOBI" These books were being thrown around the world in various shops, the books criticising Hashirama were especially popular in all villages except Konoha.
However, Shiroken was playing a psychological game here, he did not bring people's attention to the tailed beasts from the start, because that would be counterproductive. First, he would make people hate or question Hashirama's action, then there will be photos of Saiken playing with kids and articles about how these beasts were ancient, filled with the knowledge of the world, and peaceful beings, but Hashirama instead of making friends with them, enslaved them. They would then indirectly be reminded of Kurama's attack on Konoha and will have to think that why shouldn't Kurama be angry? He was being enslaved against his will.
"Ha? What is this book? Hashirama? Oh, is it about how to become the best Hokage?" Naruto, who had just returned to the village passed by a bookshop, he just read the first word of the title and bought it.
...
Shiroken was able to successfully strike a deal with the dragon, Kurosaki.
He didn't leave the dragon and instead asked if he could also go to the birthday party and give some gifts to Kurosaki's grandson.
Kurosaki didn't deny it and brought him along.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY BOY" Kurosaki, like a gentleman, entered the mountain.
Shiroken was taken aback, he just saw one of the cutest beings to have ever existed. The little kid Dragon was just like Kurosaki but small and ultra-cute.
The little dragon's eyes darted towards Shiroken. He had never seen a human before.
"Grandpa, food?" He asked his grandpa and slowly reached Shiroken.
"AAAA... *Nom*"
The little Dragon tried to bite his hand fiercely. Shiroken didn't even flinch, as the little dragon didn't have too much biting power, since he was very young and small.
"Hehe, I'm not food, little boy," Shiroken said and patted his head. The little dragon cutely rubbed his head on his hand and received some more head pats.
Kurosaki smiled seeing his grandson being so happy. There were no other kids in their community and that made him very lonely sometimes.
"Hehe," The dragon giggled happily.
"His name is Kuronosuke. My lovely little grandson." Kurosaki went ahead and hugged the little dragon.
Shiroken's brows frowned, ~Why are their names opposite of what they look like?~
Shiroken just then thought about a gift. What could be the best birthday gift for a little kid with no friends? ~Hmmm... He needs friends, that's for sure. But how...~
"Umm, Kuronosuke, do you want friends?" Shiroken suddenly asked.
Kuronosuke became excited and ran to him, "REALLY? I can? Will they be like me? Where are they?"
"Kurosaki, bring your family along with me to my country, you will be totally safe there and also celebrate the birthday, the capital city is also organising a festival there anyway." He offered.
"NEVER! Humans are dangerous, I won't take my grandson there. And what if they get scared?" Kurosaki questioned him, staring daggers.
Shiroken sighed, "The three tails and six tails are openly living there right now, and they are happy and play with the people. My Nidama clan actually prays to them and call them Saint Beasts, and not just that, the whole country sees them as protectors and saints. People love them already.
"If you go there and do not create trouble, they will love you too, I promise. Also, if it's about your safety, I will be there, don't worry," he assured them.
Kurosaki scoffed, "Hah, overconfidence is not good, kid. I bet you'll run first when against an army."
Shiroken didn't say anything and simply smiled, while controlling the flow of Natural Energy in the surrounding area. All of it started to converge into Shiroken as if he was a magnet. The mountain started to shake as if life was being sucked out of it.
"I am very sure I am the strongest being by a higher margin on this planet. Because I killed the previous strongest a long time ago, and he came from the sky." Shiroken revealed.
Kurosaki hovering in the air, paused. His body did not move at all, as his mind comprehended everything. He knew about the Otsutsuki, Hagoromo was one, at least half. And if Shiroken defeated one from space, then that was the real deal. "Who are you? Tell me honestly."
Shiroken shrugged, there was no incentive to hide it, as even if someone knows it, what can they do? And Kurosaki was going to be his summon and he wanted him to trust him.
"To be honest, I don't know. That Otsutsuki told me I was some kind of a lab experiment, so I'm decently sure that I never had birth parents. As to who I am, I have no idea at all. Biju, my dear parents, and my family found me in the forest years ago. They took me in, cared for me, and fed me. Then they were taken from me, by that Hashirama." His face turned sadder.
Kurosaki felt it too, he knew what Hashirama did, and if Shiroken was really as close to the beasts as he said then he could feel the pain, it would be like taking away his grandson from him.
"Let's go then. Let's celebrate Kuronosuke's birthday in your country." Kurosaki agreed.
"HEHE! LET'S GOOO... Bring the rest of the family too." Shiroken was excited.
...
The Dama City was being decorated to the teeth, as their Lord had come back, along with two Saint Beasts.
However, the two beasts were busy with their own work. Saiken sat by the farm, along with him were Izumi, Haku and Shisui. Also, Shirajin was there, happily sleeping on the soft head of Saiken.
"COME HERE! Your milky boy Saiken will show you how to milk a cow."
Izumi and Shisui's eyes twitched, while Haku was excited about it. They got close to the cow and followed the big slug.
"How can this help us in making ourselves better? We came here to train with you." They asked him.
Saiken wobbled his head left and right while milking the cows. "La Lala Lala... Milky Milky Boy, I am Saiken Dama. I love my cows, Alpha, Beta and Gamma... La Lala Lala... Oh, milking cows makes you relaxed. Only training your body will not help you improve, you need to let your body rest, so it can heal and refine itself into a better state. NOW! COME HERE!"
Saiken turned one of the cow tits and aimed with precision at Izumi and Shisui's mouth. Cow milk directly reached them, "AHAHA! Trust me, it can't get fresher than this."
"ME TOO ME TOO!" Haku jumped.
Saiken cheerfully did the same with him, but Haku coughed the milk out, "NO! I HATE THIS MILK! I thought it would be chocolate milk."
Saiken confusedly inquired, "Why would you think that?"
"Because the cow is brown," Replied Haku.
(￣▽￣)"
Everyone burst into laughter.
