Multiverse Conquest: Rise of the Saiyan Empire

The reply was actually the last thing they could have thought off!!

The third Kazekage's ambition could be seen shining in his eyes as he looked at Cornelia like she was a giant mine of gold.

From her hand she took three Capsules from her sleeve…She slammed the first capsule against the table, making a loud noise:

"This…is enough crops for your village to hold on for 2 years."

The Elders looked at the capsule with an intrigued yet burning gaze.

She then slammed the second capsule with a growing smile on her face:

"This…is enough water for you your village to 'bath' in for the 5 coming years"

She then took the third one and played with it:

"This…Is much more important…Kazekage-san. I would need to know you attitude first."

The Third Kazekage tilted his head:

"What do you mean?"

She smiled again:

"Are you ready to wager for greatness? Yes or No?"

"Or are you all planning to be the background characters for Konoha to shine?"

The Third Kazekage knew what she meant:

"Konoha will not stay at the top forever!"

Cornelia sighed:

"Stop saying gibberish, so you can spare your tiny pride."

"You, all know the reasons why you will always be behind Konoha."

She tilted her head, a glint of pity in her eyes:

"It's because Konoha is always one step ahead of you."

"Konoha always innovate..."

"They were the first to create a village, the first to create Ninja Academies, the first to propose a Kage Summit, the first to consider the Tail Beasts as bargains and list only gets longer as the time go..."

The face of the three distorted as they couldn't refute her words. She laughed slightly:

"And let me tell you a little secret..."

"In the coming war, they would still come up with new things!"

The third Kazekage sighed, his face a little solemn:

"I got your point…What do you need me to do?"

Cornelia laughed again:

"That is the good attitude!"

She clicked on the Third Capsul, and what appeared were...

A lot of papers!

Those papers were written with fluent Japanese.

The trio immediately began reading the titles of each stack! And the shock kept shaking their faces as their eyes were about to pop out:

'10 Years…Development Plan for The Land of Wind'

'Starting the Industrial Revolution in the Land Wind'

'The Land of Wind, the economical center of the Shinobi World'

'Chakra, a tool for accelerated growth!'

'Solving the Ressource Shortage of the Land of Wind!"

….Their eyes passed by each enormous document.

Those were detailed studie describing a step by step the development of the country they've been trying to survive in!

As they read the documents, their face flickered between deep anticipation and bitterness and unwillingness.

Because the existence of such documents completely unveiled her intention!!!

And place them in front of the Toughest decision they ever had to take!

Cornelia continued:

"We are all smart people here…So I guess you already understood my meaning. But still…I will state my conditions."

"The first one is complete allegiance for the Emperor and the Empire."

"The second is authority over mission making and commissions."

" Do not worry, with us…You will never run out of things to do."

She smirked again, as she was about to announce the order dreaded by all of them:

"The third and the most obvious one, is,..."

"...For you to bring us the head of the Wind Daimyo and all noble lords within the Wind in the next 24 hours."

"This country will only kneel to the Imperial Family from now on."

"On our part we will let Sunagakure be the only Military force of the Wind."

A Kage killing his own Daimyo?

What does that mean?!

The consequences could be catastrophic! Escalating to even a World War!

What does a village without a Daimyo to support it?

Without mission to resource it?

It's means a village without the support of the whole wind country!

A village without funding, without resources and without missions? Isn't that the worst situation?

But, Actually… It's so much worse than that!

The worst is that it sets a 'precedent'!

A kage had crossed the line that shouldn't be crossed!

If the other Daimyos doesn't turn hell upside down to pressure their country to attack them, it would be weird!!

She stood up, getting her capsules back with her. The Kazekage who saw leave had to ask:

"Wait! Could you give me some more time?"

Cornelia smiled:

"Kazekage, I did ask you a question? And you didn't respond….So I will ask again!"

"Do you dare wager for greatness, Kazekage-san?"

"The goddess of victory is a pretentious gal, she will only smile at you once~"

"If you miss her call. Then you can only blame yourself!"

Chiyo spoke:

"What is your goal? World Conquest?!"

Eivor who heard her, started laughing as if looking at a clown:

"The fact that you think, your tiny world is worth a conquest is baffling!"

The deep arrogance inherited from her Emperor resurfaced!

Cornelia laughed:

"Let's say our goal is peace. Peace in the Ninja World."

The Kazekage had a solemn face:

"So there are other villages on this…"

Cornelia smiled:

"Yes, indeed…There is even another great Village we approached. If this goes as planned, you two would become the 'Two Poles of the Ninja World."

Ebiso sighed:

"This is quite the hard sell you are trying to make. We barely know each other. "

"What if we do all that, and you pull out?"

Cornelia was riled up:

"And what would that bring us?"

"The satisfaction of seeing your village turn to ashes?!"

"Spare me! Do you really think we can't take the life of that old pig alone?"

"You all already know what this is…And what this mission actually means!"

Everyone gulped up and down. Indeed, they are Shinobi so they engaged in this kind of practice before!

'This is A Loyalty mission!!'

'It's a mission when the commissioner and the shinobi are both on the same boat! The moment they kill the Daimyo, it's over!'

'For the better or for the worst, they will be with those people!'

Eivor smiled lightly before she spoke:

"The real question isn't whether we will pull out or not, but whether..."

"In the worst-case scenario..."

"Will we really be worse than your Daimyo?"

As she left, Cornelia turned around, a slight smirk on her face:

"I will be waiting for you, outside the village. 24 Hours…"

"Isn't that exciting?!

"24 hours to change the fate of a whole country!"

"This is stuff dreams are made off!"

As they saw her leave, everyone of them had a thoughtful expression on their faces. Chiyo was the first to speak:

"This is crazy, if we go through with their plan. We will be no different from their slaves!"

Ebiso also nodded:

"The Daimyos have been ruling the five great nations for generations. If we stage that kind of coup d'état, we will have all the other countries on our back. We will also have the civilians on our back ."

The Third Kazekage sighed:

"Don't you see?"

"This is exactly the kind of decision making that made us inferior to Konoha again and again. In the Warring States Era, who would have thought that the concept of village would work so well?

His face distorted in anger!

"Hashirama Senju with this idea, created 'a revolution'."

"And since then 'revolution' after another kept coming from this damn leaf!"

His face turned into an ominous smile, bordering on insanity:

"What if we let go of a little freedom?"

"What if the idea of political separation between the Daimyo and the Kage is abolished?"

"What if we serve a more capable Lord?"

" What if the action of the village doesn't only affect the village but the whole country!"

Chiyo widened her eyes as she saw the determined gaze of the Kazekage:

"Kazekage-sama, you…!"

"Chiyo, Ebiso, we've been together for a long time…Since we were under the order of the Nidaime Kazekage."

"Shamon-sama tried every way to improve the situation of our Sunagakure."

"Sadly we are still the poorest of the 5 Great Countries."

"Our villagers still struggle to make ends meet."

"And the economic disparity between us and the other four only grows."

He had a mocking smile:

"For a long time, we thought that the prosperity of the village and the country was our duty…"

He smirked:

"Today, meeting those women, I finally realize…"

He then had a blank face like a enlightement was downing on him:

"What are we?"

Chiyo narrowed her gaze:

"We are Shinobi…"

"And as Shinobi are, are we really that inferior to the Leaf?"

Ebiso narrowed his eyes:

"They may be a little stronger, but…I think if we had better environne-!"

"Indeed!! That was always the problem!!"

The insanity in his face only got greater:

"We are Shinobi!"

"Right!? We aren't rulers!"

"We are instruments of war!"

"Economic growth, lodging issues, resources issue were never our duties to begin with!!"

"War and killing is where we strive!!"

His face contained deep disdain and rage:

"Those duties we've been burdening ourselves with…Have always been that 'old bastard's!!'

Chiyo responded:

"No matter how much of an incapable he is. He at least, never had the ambition to take control of the village!"

The Kazekage has a solemn gaze:

"Indeed, those people won't stop at simple missions. "

"It is akin to making a deal with the devil. Their ambitions are boundless."

"But let me ask you one thing …"

"If this plan go through, won't the village get stronger?"

Chiyo nodded:

"Yes."

"Won't the Wind country prosper?"

"Yes"

"Won't our Shinobi be safer and our village be protected?"

"Yes."

"And Chiyo…"

"Just what in the hell is my duty as the Kazekage?"

She opened up her eyes widely before she sighed:

"It seems you have made your decision."

The Kazekage eyes became solemn:

"Invoke, every Kage Level Ninja, Elite Jounin and all the members of the Council of Elders in Sunagakure."

He smiled lightly:

"It's time for 'Revolution'. Sunagakure's revolution!"
