Dama Country,
It was a normal day for the dwellers of this heaven on earth. A country with an almost negligible crime rate. A country with prosperity so high that every house could afford meat every single day, not that they eat it every day. The country's top doctors have told everyone that to have a healthy life and live long you need a balanced diet.
Now, what happens when such prosperity lasts for decades? Simply put, the people are happy, they live long and their kids are even better. Hence, the average height reached 6 feet for adult males and 5'7" for adult females. The people were healthy and beautiful.
The country was divided into districts, each ruled by a governor appointed by Jin himself. There were 9 provinces in the country. Actually, the whole country loved the number 9.
9 was the lucky number of the country now. Number 9 was considered the best room number in hotels, boats with identification with number 9 in any place were considered lucky. People bought number 9 lockets too.
What Shiroken wanted had already happened. A country that loves the tailed beasts was now a reality. The tailed beasts too loved this small nation. They loved the people as they revered them. They were like the biggest celebrities, or maybe it was right to say they were saints.
Saiken was loved as he was the biggest dairy product provider and knowing that a lot of people in the country depended on this industry, Saiken made sure he did not monopolise it. Instead, he created warehouses in each province, from where milk container carriages would collect milk from all sellers and bring it to the warehouse. From there, big buyers or distributors would buy them to sell all over. This way, not only many jobs were created but the price of milk was also regulated.
Besides this, Saiken also started his bakery, and bought some goats and camels too, to try how their milk worked. And this was how Saiken's other name came to be, Milk-Saint.
Meanwhile, Isobu was the fish boss. Not only did he run his own company, but he also helps the fishermen to find good fishing spots and also punish those fishermen who destroy the ecosystem by continuously fishing in one location.
The whole country now had too much fish because of this. So much that they exported to all countries except for the Water Country. They made sure not to monopolise so that the Water country does not find any problems.
And this way, Isobu was also nicknamed the Fish-Saint.
This leaves Chomei. Now, Chomei's situation was different. He didn't really have any industry under his hands. The reason was his attention span was too short. He was a jolly being, who liked flying and exploring. So his task was to go around in each province, make people happy and also keep an eye on all Governors and make sure no unrest occurs.
So he was the Tailed beast that most of the Dama country knew very well. They would always await his visit eagerly because it was like a small festival every time.
Chomei, seeing that he had so many fans, decided he was also going to start writing songs now and perform them to these people. Slowly, people started loving his songs and took them as his blessings that provide luck.
Today, Chomei was performing a rap song in the third district. So he flew off from Dama City and headed to the destination while practising the song.
♫Yo, aye... Chomei in the house.♫
♫I never really really thought I'd see again, when all the pain in my veins, has gone away.
I never really, really thought I'd once again, be with my fam, and all of them... love my JAM.♫
♫...This is Lord Chomei, yeah, your favourite homie, people go crazy to be my roomie.
But all I wanna do is give people zoomies.♫
♫So I fly the kids, pray to god, and do my gigs.
Ah! look! Those are Sai-chan's pigs...♫
♫I wait for Shiro like he's my hero,
Wait... he's everyone's hero, cuz against him all are zero.♫
♫WHAT? You don't believe me, bro?
Huh, just wait till you meet my SHIRO.
And if still you don't, THEN BRO, YOU GOTTA GROW!...♫
To the people of Dama country, it didn't matter what went on outside. They had no interest or idea how life was in other countries because it was a fact that they were even richer and stronger than the 5 elemental nations.
...
Konoha,
*ACHOOO*
"Ah, it must be Chomei singing about me," Shiroken muttered while lying in his bed. He had just returned to his rented house in the Uchiha district to sleep.
"Lord Dama, I caught Sasuke Uchiha," Shisui reported to him as soon as he returned.
Shiroken with no interest scratched his cheek, "Hmm, he's from the Uchiha clan, go tell Monari, she should be the one to deal with this matter. Do you have any problem if I call her the head of the surviving Uchiha clan?"
"No, Lord Dama, I already consider her the most senior of the remaining Uchiha. She might even be older than Madara Uchiha." Shisui had nothing but respect for Monari. And since he knows her backstory, how she escaped from her clan, he liked her more. Because she helped him understand that the clan was always so barbaric.
"Then go and tell her, I shall take a small nap. *YAWN* Haven't really slept in the past 8 months. I wonder if I can even dream." He wondered and closed his eyes.
Shisui bowed and left him alone. Currently, the house was full, the Sand siblings were here, even Naruto and Minato were here. But, he honestly felt a bit conflicted living in the Uchiha district. It brought back bad memories.
But what he didn't know was this was exactly why Shiroken and Monari decided to live here. So that Shisui can confront his past.
...
Monari had taken a detour while returning home. She had gone to find the graves of the Uchiha clan.
She was not the sentimental type, she came here for a purpose. And that purpose was to check something. So she started to dig the bodies randomly.
*Sigh* "All that powers our eyes gave, all the glory, for what? You people couldn't rise above your hatred." She was cursing them while digging.
One after another, she took out 20 caskets.
*WOOSH*
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" All of a sudden an angry voice sounded. Monari turned around and saw the ashen haired shinobi, Kakashi.
"Digging graves, why? Do you want to join?" She asked him snarkily and continued.
"This is a crime, you know that? And why are you desecrating your own clan's graves?" Kakashi asked her.
She scoffed, "Please. They are not my clan. They tried to kill me for no reason when I was just 10. If not for Shiro, I would have been dead. And just so you know, this happened way before the formation of Konoha. I was and always will be from the Nidama Clan. You tell me, why did you come here?"
"I... I wanted to ask you some questions." Kakashi started.
However, he didn't continue as he saw the frozen body of Monari, just staring at the body of the casket she had just opened.
"HOLY..." She ran and opened all 19 other caskets, yet she found the same scene in them.
"What happened?" Kakashi rushed to her.
She pointed down, "None of them... have eyes."
But Kakashi wasn't alarmed, "They must have been decomposed."
She shook her head, "Do you think I am a fool who dug here without a thought? Look at them, they have not decomposed that much, they still have skin and muscles, do you know why? It is because this land is very wet and has heavy clay ground. And Shinobi's body does not decompose that fast since we have chakra in our body. This is why the Dama Country has the ritual of burning the body instead of burying it.
"Now look there, the eyes were pulled out, the injury marks make it clear. It was done in a quick way since the thief had so many to pluck. Truly, Kakashi, your village is one big garbage hole. I wonder if the clan was killed just so the thief could take the eyes. Well, my investigation is complete now."
She one by one sealed the caskets and put them back where they belonged. Kakashi just watched her silently.
He was no fool to not know the darkness hidden inside the village. What went down in the political circle of the village was dark and unsettling. He was a part of Root before and knew this.
"Ah, done. So, what did you want to ask me?» She patted her hand clean and asked.
"I... wanted to ask, did you speak the truth? Is Rin really alive?"
