3 Birthday.....

One week later....

Today is a festive day both for The Mori and Shiba Clan. One month ago the grandson of the patriarch of Mori and Shiba clan came to this world. The festive moment of the clans had also made the environment of IWA more prosperous.

One could see all sorts of businessmen, nobles, rich foreigners, in IWA.

But this cannot solely credited to the birthday of Akira. As even though the war has ended small squabbles were still ongoing on various parts of the world. But the nail in the coffin was when the earth daimyo announced that he was going to iwagakure for his grandnephew's birthday celebration.

Yes, my paternal granduncle is a daimyo, so I am part royalty.

Even though the ninja villages are lead by kages the true owner are the daimyos and nobles and for them they can do anything they want , and so nobody wants to mess with these daimyo's whose coming to iwa has made it a safe heaven for businesses ,nobles and foreigner.

As the second ninja war just ended, every village was in dire need of funds so Tsuchikage made use of this opportunity to set up several auctions, theater plays, invited many renowned craftsmen from various countries, hired the best chefs to cook food in the best restaurants in, even brothels were better decorated than usual and prepared for a large influx of customers.

There was a lot of preparation and all of it was geared to ensure Iwa would immensely financially profit from the fact many foreigners, of which most were important nobles or merchants, were in the village.

Even though most of the Head council of Iwa was against it, as the village was still mourning from all the suffering caused by the war, when in dire need of funds the head council decided to make this a village fair.

Night of the celebration...

I in my mother arms was going toward the celebratory hall. Along the way I saw massive crowds, people wearing all sorts of colorful clothes , some in luxurious clothes while some in plain clothes roaming around like bees.

Upon entering the celebratory hall which was filled with people ,I could see most of the people were surrounding few people wearing luxurious clothes among them was my grandparents and few other old men having fans in their hand.

Anyone entering the the hall could be seen bowing toward the men and saying" Daimyo sama" from which I came to know that these frail looking men are daimyo and nobles of the neighboring place

Upon seeing me one of the daimyo came near me and picked me up saying " so this cute little thing is my grandnephew, Good, Good... I can see mischief and intelligence in those eyes , he will be someone who will make the name of our village great. "

"Let the celebration begin " said the earth daimyo and handed me to my mother.

The celebration was started by singer singing different folklore songs, dancer dancing to various songs and various other activities .I was nearly bored to death from these monotonous things ,and then my father did rituals which were usually done by the birthday boy.

But the thing that interested me most was the fighting dance, where two women fought beautifully while using different ninjutsu, kenjutsu, bukijutsu and taijutsu .It was truly a beautiful sight to watch.

And then the ceremony came to the end.

Next came time of receiving gifts , I sat on the lap daimyo as different clans of IWA bestowed gifts upon me...

(I don't know if these clans are real or not)

First came the Nopaki clan which are one of the founding members of IWAGAKURE and blessed me and gave me a basic steel ninjutsu as they are well versed in steel type ninjutsu and tailjutsu.

Next came the chitobi clan which are also one of the founding members and also game a basic fire release jutsu .Since the clan follow the way of the fire dragons they mainly used fire jutsus.

The kimizaru clan people just gave me blessings as the clan has been dwindling since their failed konoha attack.

Then came a few other clan who gave me quite a few earth jutsus.

And then few people gave me few gifts and the ceremony came to an end, with which everybody just bade farewell and left with only our clan members remain on hall.

Since only our family are left in the hall the adult started taking among themselves about the village condition and how can they be of help to the clan and village, while the kids began taking about their day and what jutsus they have learned.

After such a long I was feeling sleepy ,so my mother excused herself and went to make me sleep.

Konoha...

It's been 1 month since my birthday.

Even though the war has ended with Konoha's victory , the atmosphere of the village was a bit dull as Ninja would flash from time to time everywhere, even the streets were deserted .The all time prosperous Konoha was empty.

Inside the hokage office,

"Hiruzen! we should have fully destroyed Iwa .You are too soft" Danzo commented while clenching his staff.

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently smoked with his back to Danzo, without answering, he just quietly looked through the window and looked at the clouds in the sky outside. The atmosphere in the room gradually turned into tranquility except for the sound of Sarutobi smoking.

"Danzo we both know that's a lie , even though we won the war the number of shinobis we lost is not even one fourth of the amount iwa lost and the village is now is an financial crisis as we had to fight in more than one font." stated sarutobi while turning back to face danzo.

"But that would also be good as all the village will be in square one, but few days ago due to the birth of earth diamyo grandnephew they held a big fair and are now earning big bucks ,I hope they do not attack us while we are recuperating.

"How about we kidnap the kid and ask for--" before finishing Danzo was interrupted by Hiruzen

"Are you stupid Danzo!, you want to touch a daimyo's family "

Angry by Danzo's stupid idea Hurizen asked danzo to excuse himself while he went retrospecting about what can be done.....
