It had been a week since Itachi and Shisui headed out to find the old man collecting tailed beasts. It was really hard to find this old man. They first went to where his last known location was. It was the battlefield where Kakashi and Rin fought Kirigakure Shinobi.
But they didn't find any clue there either, except remains of what seed like a campfire. After long days of going from village to village, they finally ca to Agakure. They looked like kids so no one questioned them about why they were there. Plus, their disguise of poor holess kids was on point. Iwagakure was filled with holess kids and they knew it.
While they were walking through the street, they saw an old man in shining white robes in the distance. There were a few animals following him while singing songs too.
"We found him, Itachi," Shisui exclaid.
Itachi looked in the distance with no expression. His face had grown plain after seeing all the fighting and being forced to kill people at just the age of 4. He had lost his innocence too early.
Shisui knew about this and always tried to cheer him up. He truly saw him as his little brother and was ready to do anything for him.
"What are we going to do? How do we approach him?" Itachi asked.
Shisui's eyes twitched, "Ah, I never planned for that. How should we approach a man who is able to control... one... two.... six tailed beasts. He's obviously way stronger than us."
"Why not just go to him and talk. I don't think he is a bad man. I read all the reports from my father. In all his attacks on villages for the tailed beasts, he did not kill anyone. And look, there are so young people following him." Itachi pointed at Yahiko and the rest.
"Well, maybe you are right. But before we talk to him, let's follow him for a day and see what kind of person he is." Shisui agreed and they started secretly following Alexander.
...
The Next Day,
Alexander was assessing the condition of Agakure with Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato so they can make plans on where to start improving.
"Well, one thing is clear. The rapid developnt of Agakure was unsupervised and unplanned. The buildings don't have good plans and are just sohow staying up. I'm afraid if Shukaku sneezed in his full size all the buildings here will fall. We need to strengthen these.
"Also, the food will be brought by
for now. But we need to start tending to the fields. This city needs to beco self-sufficient."
Behind him, Konan was walking with a notepad in her hand and writing everything. She was an intelligent girl and understood what Alexander was saying. Unlike Yahiko who was just following for the sake of it.
In the previous 2 days, he had t the whole Akatsuki organization. The three created Akatsuki as a way to bring peace to their ho country, which too often got caught in the crossfire of the Five Great Shinobi Countries' many conflicts. Akatsuki's desire for an end to war attracted many fellow A ninjas to their cause and, in ti, word of their exploits began to travel beyond Agakure's borders.
Akatsuki was still present but not as a terrorist organization anymore. He had made them official Police of Agakure. They were working under him right now.
None of them had any problem with Alexander after they heard who he was. Not just that, he gave all of them a makeover in the dress. Instead of black robes with red clouds, they wear the sa white robes as him with golden clouds on them.
This was a much-liked look than the old gloomy look, it gave a hopeful and happy feel.
They then headed to the shopping district. In their way, all the citizens were bowing to him as a show of respect. From the mont of his arrival, problems like shortage of food had been solved quickly which made them accept him as their leader quickly.
Just when he was moving towards a shop, two kids ca in front of him. Both of them looked holess from their clothes and dirt on their hair and faces.
"Grandpa, give us sothing to eat." the little one cutely requested.
"Oh, where are your parents, little kids?" Alexander asked.
"W-we are orphans." The older one answered, who looked to be 8-9 years old.
Alexander laughed and ruffled their hair, "Haha, then you are just like . I was born an orphan too. Let's go and eat sothing. Follow ."
He brought the two kids to a tea house. "Here, the guy who runs this place is known as Marvin the magician. He claims that he makes the best tea and dumplings in the world. And honestly, I am still unable to refute his claim. Here, eat."
Itachi and Shisui carefully ate the food and drank so tea.
Behind Alexander, Konan was looking at the two kids suspiciously. She was a girl who had a soft spot for orphans so she knew of every orphan in Agakure. She had never seen these two before. But she didn't say anything as it was possible that they might have co from outside.
Just at that mont, Shukaku who was accompanying Alexander spoke telepathically to him, "G-Chan, why did you not call them out for lying? They are obviously not orphans. Instead, I'd say they are very strong ninjas. Especially the older one. I feel weird looking into his eyes."
Currently, all the other tailed beasts were having fun in the Akatsuki headquarters under Berry and Hats' supervision. Alexander knew soone was trying to gather these little ones so he had put hidden portkeys on them. In any danger, they would be sent to Phixheim.
"I know Shukaku. But I also felt these two were ntally stressed. The little one looks like he has never seen a happy day in all his life. I don't think they ca here with bad intentions. They must have a reason for hiding things from ." Alexander replied back.
He saw them finish eating, "So, how was it?"
"This was truly the best tea and dumplings I have ever eaten." the elder one said.
Just then a voice ca, "Of course my tea and dumplings are the best. It's all my grandfather's recipe. I am going to open my shops all around the world soday, so be sure to visit it then."
The man was Marvin, the owner of the tea stall. He was a tall and burly man.
"Haha, Marvin, I told you when I stop this war I will help you open this franchise, now stop telling this to every custor. What if they steal your idea?" Alexander advised him.
"Muahahaha... no one can steal my recipe because it is all in my head. Well, anyway, I got to work. See you later."
"Ah, just ignore him. He's been too excited since I told him about sothing called franchising. Now, will you two tell
the truth or not? I know you two are not orphans. I can also sense you two are not normal kids either, you are trained ninjas" He suddenly asked them.
It caught both kids off guard as they found out their cover was blown already.
"I am Shisui, and this is Itachi. We are from Konohagakure. We ca to et you, sir." Shisui took a leap of faith and honestly answered. Hoping that the old man was really a good man as Itachi said.
