Akashi had, in a few minutes, subdued not only the berserk ninjas but also all the ninjas surrounding them.
Akashi was seated in the largest room of this underground cave, beside him were Karin and Meguru, while in front were the leaders of the Juzo clan, with the remaining one hundred or so clansmen of the Juzo clan behind them.
Their expressions varied, ranging from tense and angry to anxious, and some were even glad.
"So you want our clan to swear allegiance to you?!" The old leader of the clan said with a neutral expression
"Yes," Akashi replied, having already explained everything to the people present in the room.
At the same time, his mind was wandering a little
'Another old man leading another old clan, tradition is really important in the world,'
"You have already made your offer, like the possibility to solve the curse of our clan and others, but I have to ask, what will you do if I refuse,"
Akashi remains silent for a few seconds.
"Sorry, I'm a little surprised that you are even considering refusing,"
"What!! Did you think that we would be so happy that we would throw ourselves at your feet," someone shouted in anger
"Not throw yourself at my feet's but sometimes close yes,"
His nonchalant voice angered some of the Juzo but with a mere gesture the old man stopped them from erupting,
'That old man seems to inspire great respect among his people,'
Akashi thought seeing how easily he stopped their outburst.
"If you refuse, I will use force, of course!"
"How dare you?" A few of them finally erupted, hearing that "Do you think that because you have massive amounts of chakra, you are stronger than us? We Juzo clan do not lack chakra either!"
"True, let's be honest, in the ninja world the more chakra you have the more potential you have, another reason why I want your clan on my side, but I want a sane Juzo clan,"
"After the tragedy that befell the Uzumaki clan I thought that you would have more heart," someone shouted
Turning his gaze toward the old leader of the clan, Akashi asked, "Do you think I am being heartless?"
His question seemed genuine, and after a second, the old man shook his head.
"No... Your offer is very generous, more than anything I ever dreamt of, and I am thankful for it," he slowly bowed his head "Please give me and my clansmen a few minutes to discuss your offer,"
"No problem, I'm gonna see around for a bit,"
With a Whoosh Akashi and the two disappeared from the room.
The moment they left
"Elder, why do you act like that toward that kid, those people want our Juzo to become their subordinate!"
One of the hot-blooded young men asked in anger; he seemed to consider submitting to Akashi an insult.
"Because he is strong, his potential is absolutely frightening. If we decide to fight him, it won't end well for us. Plus he asks what you are dissatisfied about, he is offering us an opportunity to rid ourselves of our curse and finally walk openly in the world,"
"I don't like him, he is arrogant,"
"He has the strength to back it up,"
"Whether we like him or not we will become his subordinate, what matters is whether we do so voluntarily,"
After a few minutes of discussion, the Juzo clan called them back into the room.
"We the Juzo clan swear to serve you from now on," With that, they fell on their knees
"I am glad to hear that, I will treat you well,"
As per usual, he didn't want to just enslave the new clan, so he made a few promises to them.
After that, Akashi took about a day to put a new barrier more advanced barrier around the base of the Juzo clan.
They then started to apply seal everywhere.
Akashi, Karin, and Meguru were together in a massive underground room.
"Invocation," In a poof of smoke, 'White' the cat appeared in front of them. "Hello, master Akashi, what can I do for you?"
"Hello,"
Karin came out from behind to scoop White in her hands.
"Hello, white, how have you been?"
Karin and Meguru greeted the cat as they petted him.
"Why have you summoned me?" White asked the cat
Akashi took a list of scientific machines and tools and gave it to White.
"I want you to buy all that for me, you already have a supplier, right?"
He said, remembering that all the scientific tools in New Uzushio were purchased through Necoba and the ninja cat clan.
"Yes of course. Do you want to make another base?"
"Yes, I realized that we have limited ourselves when we started remaking the Uzushio,"
At those words, everyone was surprised as they looked at Akashi
"You serious? We have business all over the world," Karin said,
They not only had the tags business, but they also had the weapons business, all of which generated billions in profits.
"Yes, what I mean is we seem to have adopted the system of a ninja village as we did things,"
"I understand that it was because we were too weak and needed to remain hidden, but we have enough manpower now and power to protect ourselves in case of an emergency. We can move more freely now,"
"So what do you want to do?" Karin asked she was always curious about Akashi's ideas
"It's time to spread our tentacles around the world. I want a system similar to that of the Daimyos,"
"I think I get it," the silent Meguru said "Rather than following the village system you are now trying to break away and adopt the Daimyo system,"
Akashi smiled at that
"Indeed," Daimyos have vassals, nobles sworn to them all over their territories, while ninja forces are focused only on the village,
"I see!" Karin finally realized what Akashi had in mind
"You really are a scary guy who has a lot of scary ideas," White said, taking the scroll in its mouth, swallowing it in one gulp.
"What's scary about that, I am the future Daimyo of Uzusiogakure after all, Daimyos have vassals, I am starting to cultivate them that's all,"
Akashi appeared nonchalant about that, after all, what he said was true.
"I agree that you are scary," Karin nodded. "I mean, just look at all the jitsu that you have already created, that's abnormal.
"What's so abnormal about that as long as you have an excellent understanding of chakra theory, hand seals, chakra circulation, imagination, and excellent chakra control you can create your own techniques," Akashi explained
'Adding that to the fact that I am mentally an adult with the perspective of another otherworld, it would be embarrassing if I couldn't do that,'
"That's a lot," Meguru frowned hearing that while Karin nodded
"You are just a lazy bunch, the only thing that should cause trouble is the chakra control, but I have seals to train your control," Akashi commented
"Of course, you have seals for that, you have seals for everything,"
"Yes!" Akashi just nodded matter-of-factly.
"Fuck you,"
"Who said that!?"
"..."
To his questions, they all turned around as if nothing had happened
"Goodbye, I have things to buy," White hurriedly shouted before disappearing in a puff.
"Humph,"
After snorting, he continued his work. After a few more minutes of work, Akasshi was done placing seals everywhere.
There was even a teleportation room allowing Akashi and others to move from and to here when needed.
"Time for us to go back," Akashi said to the man. Karin lowered her head as she sighed.
The members of the Juelz clan were all too happy to say goodbye to their new master; it was obvious that not all of them were happy about the situation.
Turning toward the old leader Akashi took out two small scrolls.
"Those are yours. I will be back. Make sure to be ready." After saying that, he gave the scrolls to the old man before they entered the teleportation room behind him.
Under the eyes of every Juzo, a barrier enveloped them.
Whoosh
Under the stunned eyes of everyone, they teleported to New Uzusiogakure.
"Tele- teleportation. They can teleport," with eyes bulging and mouth wide open, they looked at the now empty room with a mix of fear and trepidation.
It took a long time before everyone finally calmed down.
"What's in those scrolls they gave you?" Someone asked finally remembering the two scrolls left behind
"Right!"
After calming his mind he opened the two scrolls and applied chakra to them
Puff
"..."
The room remained silent as they looked at what had appeared in front of them.
"...fuck me!!!"
The old man cursed not caring that kids were present.
The boxes after boxes full of money and gold left them speechless.
"I'm dreaming, I'm rich, we are fucking rich damnit, hahaha,"
"Rich, we are rich..."
For people who had to live in caves and most of the time just on what nature could offer, that amount of money was ungodly.
"Submitting to that kid was really the right choice!!"
