Becoming the Tsuchikage *

Arano Haishōri, a Kage-level Jonin, stands on top of the largest building in Iwagakure (the Village of Hidden Stones), with 4 other individual , they are wearing white cloaks and are standing next to him , member of the Anbu can be seen at the corner of the building.

On the ground are more than 30,000 people watching the soon-to-be Tsuchikage, some of them are Genin, Chunin and Jonin, but most of them are civilians.

On the rooftops of many buildings the Anbu is monitoring the ceremony, ready to intervene if something unexpected happens.

Besides, the mood is quite good, people are cheering about the good news even talking about the future.

The population is also happy quite happy about the end of the Second Great Ninja War, unfortunately during this war the First Tsuchikage died, who was already an old man, it was to be expected all this years sitting in his office made him weak.

More precisely the first Tsuchikage was somewhere in Amegakure with his team of Jonin , for a secret mission , unfortunately he was ambushed by a large amount of Jonin from Konoha , all Jonin who protected the Tsuchikage sacrificed themselves to let him escape.

The wounded Tsuchikage managed to escape, but at the cost of many high-ranking ninja, sadly it didn't help much and the Tsuchikage soon died from his injuries.

After the death of the old Tsuchikage, Iwagakure had to elect a new leader. To do this, all the important people of the village gathered in a secret place to hold a meeting.

The meeting was attended by the Tsuchikage's advisor, clan leaders, the daimyo of the Land of Earth, and other important figures. During this meeting, it was decided to elect Arano Haishōri, a strong Jonin with the strength of a Kage, as the Tsuchikage.

Arano was from the Haishōri clan, unfortunately his clan was mostly wiped out during the first and second great ninja wars, but as a very powerful shinobi and also the fact that he completed many S-rank missions, he was able to convince the important people to elect him as Tsuchikage.

POV: Arano Haishōri

The weather is good, I said to myself as I walked to the highest point of the Tsuchikage mansion, there stood 4 members of the Tsuchikage Council, better known as advisors.

In front of me I saw crowded streets, the people who had come to see the new Tsuchikage, I saw the oldest advisor standing next to me holding the Tsuchikage's hat.

He handed it to me, I took it and slowly placed the hat on my head. After that all the people started cheering and talking even more.

People cheering and being happy , it is something that was unimaginable not so long ago.-Thought Arano.

During the night the people were still celebrating the appointment of the new Tsuchikage, well that's normal after the second great ninja war, after the death of thousands of people during the war, the people were happy to have time to celebrate, it was also not every day that a new Tsuchikage was elected.

Many shinobi were also celebrating, even the Jonin who were usually on S-rank mission, only some special squads of Anbu and some Jonin were at work, monitoring the village.

Too bad, I can not really celebrate my appointment, shortly after the end of the ceremony where I received the Tsuchikage hat, people started a party to honor their new leader, but as people were enjoying themselves, I was in the Tsuchikage mansion, walking down the stairs to an underground room.

The room was lit with many lamps, it was quite large for a room, this room was used for important meetings. Inside the room 4 squads of Anbu were present. The Ninja that were in the room are now my guards , their job is to protect the Tsuchikage and follow all of his orders. But the most important thing is that they are powerful shinobi, specially chosen by me to be my most trusted subordinates.

I walked into the room, sat down on a small chair and started to giving orders to the commanders of each team, the most powerful group named AB -1 consisted of 4 masked people, each specialized in their own field, I ordered them to spy on the other Anbu to see who is loyal to me.Squads AB -2 and AB -3 were tasked to spy on the major clan of the village and report any suspicious activity . Squad AB -4 was assigned to spy on the smaller clan inside the village.

Since I'm a new Tsuchikage and my political power is limited. I needed to know who is my enemy and who is my ally, and for that I have to use my allies. It also don't matter that my 4 most trusted guard who protects me were sent on a mission, I am 99% sure that no one will try to kill me on my first day as the Tsuchikage, well they can try, even without Anbu protecting me , I'm still a Kage and I'm pretty sure that with my strength I could easily kill several squads of Jonin.

Anyway , the road to become a Kage was not easy, I had to find powerful friends, luckily I decided to befriend Han, the Jinchuriki of the five tails since he was young, , usually Jinchuriki are not liked because of the demon inside them , Han is not an exception, he didn't have any friends, so when I decided to befriend him it kind of work very well, he is 4 years older than me, but that did not matter to him, he just wanted to have a friend, besides him, I had befriended many talented kids when I was in the ninja academy, many of them died during the second great ninja war, but those who survived became powerful shinobi.

Iwagakure have 2 Jinchuriki I had successfully managed to befriend Han Jinchuriki of the five tails, but the second Jinchuriki Roshi was not really interested in befriending anyone, he did not like the people in the village and was always alone, in general the civilians had a bad opinion of Jinchuriki so they were left alone without friends since childhood and slowly drifted away from the village.

-Some time passed

Walking through the hallway of the Tsuchikage mansion, until i stopped at a door, i opened it and entered the room, it was the Tsuchikage's office. The room had a good view of the village thanks to the large windows, next to the windows was a large wooden desk with a chair.

I sat down on the chair in my office and started my first day with paperwork, first i decided to take care of the most important matters , i will deal with the less important matters in the future. It would also be a good idea to have a secretary to take care of the less important paperwork.

After the new Tsuchikage finished reading the reports concerning the security of the nation, he was not pleased , rogue ninja are killing and robbing people of the Land of Earth , the crime rate is also increasing and the border are not secure , he will have to send many Chunin and Jonin team to take care of it.

During the Second Great Ninja War, many shinobi deserted their village and became missing/rogue ninja. After the end of the war, the number of rogue ninja from each village is quite big, which is a big problem for all hidden village.

When a situation like this happen the villages would usually declare the rogue ninja a traitor and put a bounty on his head in the bingo book.

But as peace prevails, it is finally time to eradicate all renegade ninja from the land of Earth. To this end, the new Tsuchikage has placed a bounty on all missing ninja from Iwagakure. Soon, teams of chunin and Jonin will hunt them down.

But for the Iwagakure missing ninja who are not in the Land of Earth, only Tokubetsu Jonin and Jonin would be sent to kill them.

Even throw the war is over ,there is a problem with peace, although there are no fighting, the borders between the nations are not stable and sometimes a skirmish would occur between some ninja from different villages. For this reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage, sent a letter to all Kage asking them to hold a meeting in the Land of Fire in Konoha. He ended his letter by saying that he hoped to create a lasting peace between the elemental nations , indicating also that the meeting would be held in a month.

It was a good opportunity for the new Tsuchikage , to meet the other Kages and perhaps forge a new alliance. The third Hokage also stated that he wants to create a lasting peace, the Tsuchikage was interested by Hiruzen plan , he still needed some time to consolidate his power and rebuild his country after the war.

With that Arano had taken care of all the urgent matters and decided to get some sleep.
