We Bow To The Clan Leader!
We Bow To The Clan Leader!
Kentaro did not know what to think about it, they fed her and sheltered her, not even a farewell did he receive.
Kentaro stayed home for a couple of hours, he ate and past some time with Fumiko and Yuka. Before he left, he gave Fumiko a gift.
Kentaro placed the yellow pot on the living room's table. Fumiko funnily looked at it.
"Kentaro, what is in there? You have brought some rice balls for me?" this girl only thought about food.
"No, it's a friend. Shukaku is a little bit crazy, but show him how humans can be kind." Kentaro placed his hand on the pot, he unsealed a little part of it.
The pot opened and a little head came out, Shukaku had an angry expression. He tried to bite Kentaro and Fumiko, the pot moved in all the senses.
"Hello Shukaku! I am Fumiko, can I be your friend?" Fumiko had never seen something that looked like Shukaku.
"Hmm! Maybe, but only if you are nice to me, then we could~!" Shukaku had never received a friend request from a human. He acted mad, but he was looking forward to it.
"Cooool! Let's go play Shukaku." Fumiko took the pot and went upstairs. Now that Fumiko was kept busy, Kentaro could leave.
He left the house, he didn't worry about Shukaku leaving the pot. Even though he had partially unsealed him, it was an inescapable seal.
'When I'm sure that he won't destroy the whole place, I'll let him out.' Kentaro walked east.
He was going to pay a visit to the Chinoike clan, he wanted to see if everything was truly going alright for them.
An area composed of thirty stone houses were given to the Chinoike clan, they lived among other Fujimoto.
Like this, they would become familiar with the ways of the Fujimoto. Kentaro was quickly greeted by countless Chinoike.
"Hello kids! Is everything going alright?" the kids were a little shy when Kentaro talked to them.
"Hehe, we...yes, clan leader. Everything is going alright. Can I ask you a question?" Kentaro did not mind, he nodded.
"Clan leader, can you teach us some of your strongest jutsu!" the kids had a strong will to become stronger, it was as strong as stone.
If they possesed his jutsu, they would be able to protect what they couldn't in the land of lightning.
"I will not only teach you some of my finest jutsu, I will make all of you my personal disciples. It is my duty as your clan leader." Kentaro high-fived all of them.
'I must be their pillar, I must be the one who holds them high up in the sky. The future people of the hidden stone are my children, my litte brothers, my little sisters and I will be their mentor, their Elder brother and their father.'
Kentaro met with Iguro and the adults of the Chinoike clan. He sat down in their homes and drank some tea with them.
He wanted to become familiar to them. In the meantime, the other clansmen were preparing the ceremony for tonight.
The people prepared food and alcohol, they all dressed in the clan's red-brown ceremony kimono.
When everything was ready, Wanda looked after Kentaro and notified him of the beginning of the ceremony.
"Kentaro, it is time. The ceremony will begin, everyone is awaiting your arrival." Kentaro stood up, the Chinoike left the house to join the others.
When Kentaro left the house himself, he saw the little streets of the village filled with rows of long torches. They illuminated everything in this particularly dark night.
Kentaro walked besides Wanda. When he was walking, Kentaro thought about all he went through since he was transported here.
This long road of refining his spirit and overcoming adversity. Tonight he would finally become the clan leader.
The two of them turned left, this was the longest road the village had. At the end of it, Kentaro looked the clan leader's building.
The clansmen were gathered there, they looked at their future clan leader walking to the end of the road.
Yuka was proud to see her son achieve what Tetsuo always wanted him to achieve. She looked up in the starry sky with emotion.
'Tetsuo, our son has made it.' tears flowed out from her eyes, the little Fumiko comforted her by caressing Yuka's hand.
In front of the clan leader's building, six big stone chairs were placed. In front of five of the six seats, the Elders were standing and gazing at Kentaro.
"Kentaro Fujimoto! Son of Tetsuo Fujimoto! You are strongest shinobi the clan has ever produced, your achievements are many, your name is know and feared!"
Kentaro had goosebumps from hearing the Elder's powerful voice, he looked at him with wide eyes.
"From today onwards, you shall be our sword, our shield and our voice. Your actions will reflect the clan! May you lead us in times of suffering and in times of prosperity!"
The Elder motioned Kentaro to sit down on the stone chair that was placed in the center, Kentaro walked slowly and sat down.
The Elders did not sit, they all turned towards Kentaro, the Elders and clansmen all bowed their heads.
"We bow to the clan leader!" Kentaro felt honored. In front of him, he saw all of the clansmen bow.
'Father, do you see me from up the sky? I've done it, your son will take care of everything.' the night was filled with festivities.
The farmers of the land of snow played music with their own instruments, the women of the Chinoike clan showed their elegant dancing, the Fujimoto drank alcohol and fought to celebrate their new clan leader.
Kentaro let himself go, he ate and drank, he danced and fought with his brethren. From tomorrow onwards, he would not only carry the clan on his shoulders, but the whole destiny of the land of earth.
