Chapter 32 — Envoys of Arcadia
The wind carried whispers of something impossible: a hidden world of living mountains, rivers of pure chakra, and dragons that dwarfed the tallest trees. By now, Arcadia had grown far beyond the demi-plane it had once been—a living ecosystem, a civilization, a world all its own.
Abzu stood on a cliff, arms crossed, Hydra's ten heads looming behind him. The five dragons — Kaelith, Soryn, Vyrath, Thalior, and Eryndor — circled overhead, watching with intelligence and curiosity. Below, his twelve children and twenty disciples prepared to venture into the outside world for the first time as envoys of Arcadia.
"Remember," Abzu said, voice calm but carrying a weight no one could ignore, "this is diplomacy. Show restraint, display power only when necessary, and above all—represent your family. And your old man."
The children nodded, their chakras pulsing faintly, tattoos glowing with the shapes of their bonded beasts. Ryu's Storm Draconis coiled in the sky above him, Sora's Sky Koi leapt through the air in shimmering arcs, and the smaller instinct beasts bounded in perfect coordination with their young masters.
Airi smiled at the children. "You're ready. I trust you."
Kaede Terumi, now formally recognized as Kaede Miyako Terumi, level 90 and radiating authority, stepped forward. "The clans are nervous. But I will speak for us. Remind them that we are not here for conquest—we are here to teach and learn."

Scene 1 — Arrival of the Clans
Within the valley below Arcadia, representatives from six great clans had arrived:
Senju: Butsuma Senju, calm but cautious, his eyes scanning every ripple of energy.
Uchiha: Tajima Uchiha, prideful and suspicious, Sharingan flickering like a blade.
Hyūga: Hana Hyūga, precise and silent, Byakugan focusing on the energy waves.
Yuki: Elder twins, shivering slightly at the aura of the dragons.
Kaguya: Kazuo Kaguya, calculating and unnerving.
Terumi: Kaede's own clan representatives, standing firmly behind her.
The ground trembled beneath their feet as the air shimmered with Arcadia's unique chakra, palpable even to those with mastery.
Kaede Terumi stepped forward, arms open in welcome. "You have traveled far. You have come seeking the truth. Look upon Arcadia not as intruders, but as students of its wonders."
Butsuma's voice was measured. "This energy… it is unlike anything we have sensed before. Dragons, spirits, beasts… children carrying their own chakra constructs? Explain yourselves, Kaede Terumi."
Kaede bowed slightly. "The children you sense are the first generation born in a new method of cultivation. Bonded creatures, formed with their chakra before birth, awaken naturally. They are extensions of the children, linked to their very souls. Arcadia is a realm of coexistence—a place where chakra, spirit, and creation live in harmony."
Tajima Uchiha's Sharingan narrowed. "Children? Power? And yet you claim no conquest? This is either arrogance or deception."

Scene 2 — The Envoys Demonstrate
Abzu raised a hand, signaling his children and disciples. One by one, they stepped forward, each manifesting a minor bonded beast to demonstrate control and synchronization.
Ryu's Storm Draconis leapt into the sky, creating a localized storm that sent ripples through the air.
Sora's Sky Koi swirled through the clouds, forming protective wind barriers.
Ren and Arata, Kaede's eldest, summoned Abyss Phoenix and Iron Spine, their combined attack creating a seismic shock that left a crater in the training field.
The outside clan envoys could only stare in disbelief, noting how each child moved with instinctual precision, and yet each movement harmonized with their bonded beast.
Hana Hyūga whispered, "They are… perfect… as if trained by the gods themselves."
Kaede Terumi's calm voice carried over the murmurs. "They are trained in control, yes, but more importantly, they understand responsibility. Their power is not to dominate, but to create balance."

Scene 3 — Abzu's Intervention
Tension reached a peak when Tajima Uchiha, prideful and untested, stepped forward, his Sharingan blazing. "And you, Kaien Abzu, claim mastery over these forces? Do you think us fools to stand idly while children wield what should be forbidden?"
The air shifted. A subtle pressure—one that made mountains tremble—radiated from Abzu. Hydra's ten heads rose, each exuding immense chakra. The dragons around him lowered in deference.
Abzu's voice, calm but absolute, rang out. "You mistake respect for fear. Step closer, and you will learn the difference."
The clans froze. Even the stoic Senju sensed the raw Arc pressure, the presence of a being who could unmake landscapes with thought alone.
Kaede placed her hand on Abzu's shoulder, bowing slightly. "He does not seek battle. He seeks understanding. Look upon him as he is, not what you fear."
Abzu raised a hand, letting a stream of chakra flow outward—a gentle pulse, showing control, not destruction. It washed over the envoys, revealing Arcadia's vibrant energy, its life-giving essence.
Butsuma Senju exhaled slowly. "It is… awe-inspiring."
Tajima's glare softened slightly. "So this is not arrogance… it is creation."

Scene 4 — Diplomacy Begins
Kaede Terumi formally introduced each child and disciple, explaining the principles of Arcadia, the chakra rings, and the bonded creatures. Questions flew:
"How are the children linked to the beasts?"
"Can their power be shared or taught?"
"What is the cost to the host?"
Abzu demonstrated small techniques, showing how minor Arc manipulation could be used for healing, protection, and environment shaping. Even the skeptical Uchiha and Senju nodded at the elegance of his control.
The children, though young, spoke confidently of their duties as envoys, explaining how they would travel to learn, not conquer. They would represent Arcadia in the outside world.

Scene 5 — The Departure
By nightfall, the envoys had gained a new understanding. Some were awed, some cautious, but all recognized the undeniable power of Abzu's family.
Kaede Terumi and Abzu watched as their children prepared to leave the demi-plane for the first time, venturing into the outside lands.
Abzu smiled faintly. "Go, and remember: you carry more than power. You carry our legacy. Teach, learn, and protect what you love."
The dragons circled overhead. Hydra's heads, moving in perfect harmony, sent a final pulse of Arc blessing to the children.
And with that, the first generation of Arcadian envoys stepped beyond the borders of their world, into a land that would soon know their names.
