While Fugaku was having a conversation with Lord Raijon, the lord of the lightning country who is just the same age as he is, he explained "It's going to be brief, but I'd like both our countries to be allies.". Raijon took a sigh and replied "Hm, I understand. But why do you want it to be brief? You and I could easily have a long time alliance with our countries, don't you think?", Fugaku replied "Yeah, that's true, but I'm very familiar on how you people of the lightning country operate, especially with other countries that want alliance. Before you stretch a hand of alliance, you always want to test the strength of the country trying to get along with you. Hence, you create a mini war that would determine if the other country is worth being your comrade, and a war or battle isn't something I want right now.". Raijon scoffed with a smirk "Hm, you've done your research well, I'm impressed. Very well, how long will this alliance last, lord Fugaku?", Raijon asked. Fugaku responded "For three months, I'd like for us to be allied for three months. Anything passed that would be too long.", Raijon crossed his legs and layed his back on his white leathered chair and asked "Three months? And why is that? I mean, you want weapons, right? I feel three months of weaponry supply is a bit too short. I know you want it to be short termed, but I suggest 5 months would be more appropriate. I know I can be harsh, but I still have rumours for others.". Fugaku smirked "Hm, it's fine. All we need is just three months, that's all. The city of Kagahara also has a large variety of weapons too, and we have a couple of smart individuals who are good at creating things that would [Blow your mind.]", he side eye's Reggie who glanced at Fugaku with a confused blink. Raijon smirked "Very well, three months it is. For the next three months, I would be supplying you weapons, but there is something else I'd like in return.", Fugaku was a bit caught off guard by this sudden request "Hm? Something you want? What is it?", Raijon explained "I want some of your most powerful ancient books and scrolls.". Fugaku raised a brow while Reggie's eyes narrowed "Not good.", he muttered to himself. Raijon further explained "You see, assisting in weaponry can be very dangerous, especially when you're lending it to allies of a short period of time. I'll lend you some of my most powerful weapons, I do hate the Knight Kingdom after all. But, in exchange, you help me out with some of your most powerful techniques. I'm sure you know this well, the city of Kagahara has much more ancient techniques than any other city or nation in the world. Not just that, but most of your soliders depend on their birth abilities and the techniques they've learned over time, while other nations, including the lightning country depends more on the basic use of lightning energy and weaponry.". Reggie's eyes remained narrow "It's true. Most other countries only use energy to amplify their physical capabilities, people who are born with their own special powers are considered as nation treasures that are used for the most top tier missions, especially in war. But as for Kagahara, we have more people who are born with their own abilities than depending on solely energy. So much so that when people with those kind of special abilities have children of their own, the kids tend to have upgraded versions of their parents abilities, or something similar. Sometimes it can be a different ability.", he looked at Fugaku "What are you going to do, lord Fugaku?". Fugaku took a moment to think before he explained "Most of the ancient texts and scrolls we have are based on past soliders abilities, half of them are things passed down a specific lineage, while the other half are given out for people to learn. Since you're helping me with your weapons, that being the thing your country is most proud of, it only makes sense to give you something we're proud of too.", Fugaku's tone became darker, along side his eyes "But, we would only give you the one's that were published for the rest of the world to see, we have no intentions of giving you the one's passed down from the families that exists or once existed in the city of Kagahara.". Raijon's facial expression seemed straight, he replied "Very well, I understand your sentiment very well. You assist us with your techniques, we assist you with our weapons. Should i send an ambassador to give you a contract to sign?", Raijon asked. Fugaku replied "No, we both would read and sign the three month contract we just made in a conference. That way, everyone would know we made a deal, incase anyone of us betrays one another.", Raijon didn't see anything bad in Fugaku's reasons "Fair point.", he replied without giving too much thought. Raijon smiled "So it's settled. You help me, and I help you...", Fugaku smirked "Deal.". The meeting ends, Fugaku and Raijon both switch off their devices. Fugaku sighed "AAAAH.", he turned to Reggie "So what do you think?", Reggie smiled at Fugaku "That was cool. I wasn't expecting the lord of the lightning country to be so understanding. Most other leaders would have demanded more than just mere scrolls, but the lord of the lightning country probably understood that having scrolls from us would be something he'd definitely need. He got what he could take.". Fugaku stretched "Well, it wasn't a bad meeting at all. For the next three months, we'll stock pile on weapons. You keep creating weapons while analysing and understanding the weapons of the lightning country. Not just that, keep creating more nano tech as well. Ever since the incident of the traitors, you stopped creating them. Reggie, I want you to create as much nano technology you can think of.". Fugaku's eyes narrowed "Soon, we'll go on a full on invasion against the Knight Kingdom. We'll be the one's to eradicate them once and for all.".
