The next day, after getting her well needed sleep, Akame woke up, feeling refreshed. Understanding the theory behind soul and Edo Tensei wasn't exactly hard.
But learning a world-dominating forbidden S-rank jutsu doesn't just require understanding theory, chakra, and sacrifice. It requires something inexplainable.
Like in-theory, Flying Thunder God is nothing but a summoning contract with yourself, and acting as both the summoner and summon.
Well, that's the first version of that jutsu that killed her father, by Tobirama-sensei catching him off-guard and mortally wounding him with his poisoned sword.
It became more and more complex and its utility increased. With Minato even forming some sort of portal that sucked in the Bijuudama and sent it to the ocean, and him optimizing the jutsu so much that he could use it a ridiculous amount of time.
Anyway, stopping her current imaginary rival Hokage's glazing, she let out a few butterflies, to inform her mother and Iwashi to gather in the Hokage office with the important members of each clan.
This will be another busy week. Right now, she had to sort out the consequences of First Hokage cell's implantation in the Uchiha clan head, the matter of Uchiha and Senju clan integration or any other solution, and the deadline she had given to Hyuga clan is also near.
She now missed her pre-war days. Just training.
Even her war days were better than this. Afterall, the only opponent during the war that was difficult to her was the First Mizukage's second bodyguard, who would have become the Third Mizukage in canon story if she hadn't killed him.
Destroying Kumo was even easier. First Raikage was the only one who was a strong village inside the village at that time. There were no sensory barriers, and thunderclouds were all around. She didn't need to have an Amaterasu or launching Madara level fire style jutsus to create clouds.
Though, it went out of control and instead of just Kumo, the entire og Land of Lightning which had thunderclouds over it experienced cloud bursts and lightning all around, making things even worse. Good thing she actually used a Shadow Clone for that jutsu and had moved away from cloud cover. If she wasn't cautious, she would used Kamui, and still suffered huge amounts of injuries and probably death. Afterall, Kamui, especially using it for the first time would have taken a lot of time.
She will take this secret to her grave.
Suddenly, something clicked in her mind.
If she wiped out entire Land of Lightning, with only a few survivors, unless the Lightning Daimyo was outside of Land of Lightning just like Kinkaku and Ginkaku Force, Second Raikage and other Kumo Shinobis...
... Didn't she kill Land of Lightning's Daimyo as well?
Oh. No wonder she didn't even have to visit the Daimyo personally to get him to pass a law banning slavery. And no noble opposed it.
Perhaps, the news about the Lightning Daimyo reached them after Fire Daimyo had asked her to give him assurance that another Ninja War will not erupt.
She clicked her tongue.
After she will be gone, which has a lot of time, it will undoubtedly be all against Konoha. With Daimyos openly supporting their ninja villages, and perhaps even Fire Daimyo will cause trouble.
Afterall, all Daimyos are connected by political marriages. And while they don't have each other's best intentions in mind, she has possibly united them by being their big bad monster they need to eliminate.
...More political drama...
She sighed and went to freshen up for the meeting.
-----------------------
Meanwhile, the Daimyos of three of the Four Great Nations, Land of Wind, Earth and Water were having a secret meeting.
Land of Lightning has been removed from the Great Nation status.
And they couldn't let the information about this leak, so they didn't invite Fire Daimyo.
Wind Daimyo said, "Fire Daimyo has banned slavery."
He said gravely. As the country which had the most concentration of slaves, especially due to war, he understood slavery the best.
Almost every country's nobles have slaves. Particularly sex slaves. Both male and female, though female slaves are a lot more.
Anyone who can't pay the taxes or payback the loans, which in his country, only nobles can give, their entire family and descendants become their slaves.
If ugly, they are worked in the mines.
If beautiful, they become sex slaves, dancers, or such.
Well, different nobles have their own sick and twisted desires.
And its not like a noble needs concrete proofs or reasons to not just abduct anyone they fancy.
Even the ninjas actually deliver them slaves. During the war when Suna tried to invad Land of Fire, but couldn't move more from Land of Grass, asise from stealing food, any other riches, they also abducted any beautiful men, women and children to sell to him and the nobles under him.
No wonder both first and second Kazekage got assassinated.
(First Kazekage was assassinated by one of his own high level ninja who was disgusted by this.)
(Tobirama assassinated Second Kazekage in his sleep after he had already marked him with Flying Thunder God, but it is believed that a Suna ninja did it.)
And not only this, he even commissions Suna to capture beautiful people from all across the world with exotic looks and he sells those slaves to all over the world via nobles who have personal relations to him.
He became the king of slavery because Suna is too poor so that they are able to resort to any means.
But the new Kazekage has stopped accepting the missions to capture slaves in fear of getting assassinated like his predecessors.
And now that his biggest market, the nobles of Land of Fire who are ridiculously rich, has also disappeared.
Slavery in Land of Fire never stopped in the era of First Hokage, but with Konoha providing security to the entire Land of Fire, it definitely reached at a very low level.
When Ninja War erupted, and Konoha needed lots of funds and food, Second Hokage looked the other way as the nobles and other rich people used their own goons and thugs to engage in slavery. Konoha didn't take any of missions like that, but it stopped interfering. And Land of Fire became his biggest customer and he profited a lot during the war period.
Daimyos like him and Water Daimyo who didn't give a damn about their ninja villages profited a lot.
And though Earth Daimyo had fully supported Iwa and funded it quite a lot during the war, he still made an overall profit from the war by slavery, increased prices of food, and his mines. While Iwa didn't use its own ninjas for slavery missions, it used underworld rogue ninjas for the unsavory missions to make sure it upholds its reputation.
Anyway, slavery is one of the most profitable thing in any country. Outlawing it will need a lot of debate, lots of nobles will cry, and it would have taken years before any result appeared.
But, in Land of Fire, the Fire Daimyo just unilaterally declared slavery illegal, with full support of his court.
Water Daimyo scoffed.
"Fire Daimyo has become Hokage's puppet. I bet she used genjutsu-"
Earth Daimyo scoffed at Water Daimyo.
"Do you think she will need to rely on cheap tricks? We need to be cautious. If she finds out about what we are planning, you will be the first to disappear from the world.
She is Goddess of Lightning. Witch of Calamity. Goddess if Shinobi. Demon Queen of Shinobi and what-not.
But there is one thing that is clear. Her lightning jutsu can completely destroy you and your entire country."
The three of them shivered, but were still determined.
They must make an example out of her to show the world what happens when someone harms a Daimyo. Otherwise, instead of capturing slaves for them, their own ninjas might kill them and capture their wealth at once.
That's why though they also send missions to other villages. To ensure that if their village tried anything, the other village will protect them.
Still, if ninjas in mass number realised that Daimyo that funds their village and issue missions, can instead be killed...
"No! That can't be allowed to happen!"
Water Daimyo shouted. Afterall, the political climate of his ninja village is very volatile right now.
If a civil war erupts, some of them might as well kill and rob him.
And instead of being labelled as a rogue ninja, the person might even become Mizukage for taking over entire Land of Water.
He really wants to have someone kill Third Hokage who might change the thinking of ninjas.
But he is also scared of her flying over his mansion in the giant thing that everyone has been talking about, and wipe his entire bloodline out.
Or, just electrocute the entire Land of Water.
Earth Daimyo snickered.
"Don't worry. I have just the guy right for this. He doesn't take petty missions like capturing slaves or participating in war, but he is a bounty hunter with just one failure in his entire life. God of Shinobi, Hashirama."
The other Daimyos weren't really impressed. Afterall, to them, she is in the same league of First Hokage.
Earth Daimyo continued, "But, he actually injured Hashirama. And though he was also injured, he survived.
And the injury caused Hashirama's death."
Wind and Water Daimyos' eyes widened in shock.
"Really!? Who is it!?"
"He is-"
