It was only a matter of time. We were obliterating them left and right. After my squad got the location of their village and their secret jutsu, it was the beginning of the end for them. A major clan has 100 active ninja or more. A minor clan needs at least 12. Kirume Clan had 30 ninja when we brought Goro, Rokuro and Juro back. We then added 4 of them when we escorted Nanaro, Hachiro, Natsuji and Akita to their triumph in the genin exams. Losing only 2 was really good for us. We had been extremely lucky here. Akaime Clan wanted to take Kirume Clan out. They were of a similar size with maybe a handful more members when the game started. After all the warring, it had been reduced to only 15 of them. If they went under 12, the clan would be destroyed and considered fallen. We were able to get them to the negotiating table. They were made a vassal clan. It was going to be the case that they were going to be at our beck and call. Akaime Clan also had to give up their powerful forbidden technique known as Blood Recollection jutsu. To humiliate them, all their genin had to be bodyguards.
Akaime Clan had no choice. I as only 1 of 7 jounin had a lot of sway. The elders really had to listen when I strong armed Rin, Asahi and Hibiki into joining me. Even then, there was a squad of chunin shinobi ready to burst into the meeting and kill them. Riku was the genin sent to our household. Riku would protect my 3 children with his life. Or, at least, that was the expectation. Keisuke welcomed Sora in his home. Sayo was with Hibiki. Rei was for a hostile Rin to manage. Izayoi was very distrustful of the smoking Reisuke. Asahi was annoyed that he needed to house Ugo. Chihiro was outright abusive to Yuma. I felt bad for him. Chihiro would not hear it. "These red eyed bastards killed Makoto! Fuck them all. I'm going to kill him!" he screamed in my face with a mixture of rage and pain. I just told him to calm down. He did not. Kyoko had to do it. Eiko finally had a child with his wife and his name was Makoto. Makoto was assigned to Akane. Eiko really liked going out on long term missions. He was not home in the clan village often. Eiko's wife would be raising him along with Akane's help.
Unfortunately, we lost another ninja the next day. It was a kunoichi named Kyoji. He was trying to infiltrate a tin magnate's household. He was able to get inside the man's house for a week by seducing the servants. However, as a ninja, things were always dangerous. At one point, Kyoji was fucking a servant to gain some information from her. Somehow he was found out. The magnate's bodyguards caught and lynched him in the streets. His broken body was displayed as a warning in the market district. It was pretty bad. The magnate was a very powerful man. Ninjas were not highly regarded due to their constant criminal behavior. Nothing was done about this. His body was stolen within the day. I just sighed. It really was a waste. We then had the funeral for them. The Akaime bodyguards were attending this time. Some were very upset that they were here. Some even threw stones at them. I did not tolerate people abusing my household. I caught a stone launched at Riku's head. I then pulled him close and said "Boys. We're leaving now. Everyone here is in lots of pain." I took my kids and left.
