A kilometer from the rubble of what was the village of whirlpools were a large number of tents of different sizes where various ninjas moved hastily carrying various resources to treat the wounded.
In a tent to the north of the camp were five people discussing what happened, Kazuo and Ryoichi were sitting around a small table with three other people.
A woman of about twenty years old with brown hair tied in a bun, yellow eyes and pale skin with soft features, dressed in a black kimono and shinobi sandals of the same color.
A man of about twenty-four years old of large size with brown skin, black eyes and a shaved head with features that made him look like a gentle giant, dressed in a large pale yellow monk's robe, black sandals and a necklace of beads on his neck.
The last one was a small girl of about fifteen years old with pale skin, lime green eyes, pale pink hair and features that gave her an innocent and youthful appearance, dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and black pants, black boots and a necklace with a pink diamond.
-The count of survivors found was as follows - said the woman called Sumire in a calm voice - about six thousand civilians managed to survive, 120 ninjas of various ranks and 250 uzumaki, most of them civilians of the clan.
-Better than I expected - said Ryoichi with irony at the report - but leaving aside the total number of people found, how many have been able to receive treatment for their wounds?
-The medical team we have is barely a dozen people - said the monk with a calm voice, but with a slightly sad look at the situation that was developing outside - even if we teach the genin we had first aid, it will take more than a month until everyone is given proper treatment at best.
-That's why we prioritized the Uzumaki with light so that they don't have a lasting problem and the leader of the medical team is taking care of the regular shinobi - said Sumire while looking at the information papers - the first analyzed cases that I was able to receive don't give us a very encouraging image.
- If Luz and her assistant take care of two of the smaller groups, who is the one who takes care of the civilians? - said Kazuo interrupting Sumire.
- Luz and her assistant only took two doctors from the squad with them - said Sumire quickly without getting upset knowing the behavior of her partner - Hiroshi took care of the civilians with the other eight doctors.
- Leaving aside the distribution of the members of the medical team and our three specialists - said Sumire continuing with the information - we must talk about your mission Ryoichi.
- Tell me Sumire, although from the movement of much of our staff I can get an idea - said Ryoichi calmly while earning a look from the girl who had been paying attention to other things instead of what was being talked about.
-As you know, you'll have to go to the capital and meet with the daimayo – said Sumire, adopting a more serious tone than usual – Hiroto and Miyu will accompany you for this job, but your final objective is to negotiate with the daimayo to rebuild the village.
- Rebuild the village after an attack? – said Ryoichi with great astonishment – don't you think that this could trigger another attack if we try to rebuild the village?
- Actually, we don't have to worry about this being a problem – said Sumire, because before coming she had discussed this with the higher-ups – the reason for the attack on the other villages was only based on the threat that the Uzumaki clan as an ally of Konoha represented for them.
-The results of the attack caused several Uzumaki to run away and they should be leaving the country right now - said Sumire - the reality is that adding the loss of Uzumaki with a large part of all the ninja in the village, all the infrastructure, the theft of sealing arts and the current state does not represent any risk for the shinobi countries for several years.
-Also due to the role that Konoha had in not responding during the days that the attack lasted we can say that the new village will stay away from Konoha - said Sumire with simplicity of the situation - we can transmit that the new village has no connections with Konoha and we would have the freedom to start from scratch without taking into account the past avoiding the connections with the old village and return the attack of the shinobi responsible for the attack.
-Well, I understand now better the reasons why the idea could work, but what exactly do we want with all this? - said Ryoichi beginning to understand the mission.
-A cover for the organization - said Sumire calmly - I know that our purpose is to improve the country of whirlpools, but it is also a good plan to keep everything related to the organization secret by projecting to the world that we will take the traditional path.
-Okay, what do I have to get from the daimayo? - said Ryoichi fully accepting his role.
-Mostly recognition that we will be the village for the missions to be given to us and we have a constant flow of resources that we need until our plans in the underworld work, although this will be a part of the resources that we can extract - said Sumire - your main objective is to get the money necessary to start the entire foundation of the new village and the sending of labor for the reconstruction.
-You'll find the extra details here – Sumire said throwing a purple scroll to Ryuichi – get ready to go immediately.
-Okay – Ryoichi said leaving the store with his two companions leaving Kazuo and Sumire alone.
-You probably want to know some things Kazuo, but it's better if Luz explains it to you – Sumire said as she reacted to the fixed look her companion had made once the other members of the store left.
-I actually prefer you to answer them, let Luz continue working – Kazuo said while Sumire sighed knowing what was coming.
