“I believe that the leaf has thought little of us for too long. Even now that they are weak, they belittle us. I think it’s time they showed us the respect we deserve. I think it’s time we cut trade entirely from the leaf, force them into an embargo. Without a leader, their village utterly damaged, and with the sand constantly draining resources from them, they would have no choice but to secede to any demands we may inquire.”
Jin laid out his plan to the Mizukage, his fingers lacing together as he formulated the plan. This was a surprise to the other council members, as he room was silent, seemingly dilerbating this idea. It was gutsy, but ultimately effective. Also with the land of stones seemingly want to isolate themselves, it seems they weren’t a trade option for the leaf either, making their resources limited, especially if they wanted to war with the sound.

“Extreme Decapatating airwaves!”
A massive air blast ripped through the forest, ravaging everything in it’s path. Zaku was sweating, putting as much effort as he could into the attack. His curse mark covering his face as purple chakra was shooting out of his arms. He yelled as the powerful energy blast destroyed trees and turned rocks into dust. The airwave was purple and seemed to be burning everything in it’s path. Soon, the airwave dissipated, leaving nothing but a obliterated forest clearing before him. He painted heavily, looking over to his side.
“How...was that?” He said in between breaths.
“Moderate.” Kabuto said simply. “You could do much better.”
“Moderate?! What do you mean?!?”
“it seems you simply lack the chakra control in order to properly control it.” Kabuto states, adjusting his glasses. “With a justu, one could perfect this by simply trying over and over again. With your rather unique justu...let’s say that it would be impossible.”
“What? Now THAT’s impossible! Didn’t you say there’s always ways to row with your experiments Kabuto sensei?!”
“Let me finish Zaku, you are so horribly impatient. Now, you got the ability to use justu through surgical implantation. I would think it would be the same case if you needed to grow in power, even with the curse mark.”
“That blows...” Zaku grumbled. “Can’t I just get a curse mark stage two, like those sound four losers?”
“Ha, your funny. I don’t feel you have earned it yet. For the moment, surgery is where it’s at.”
“I’m thinking this is just an excuse for you to try out a new surgery...”
“I would be lying if I said no. But what are your other options? Keep blowing air and hope to get better?”
Kabuto has a point. Zaku looked at his hands as he shook, closing them into a fist. He remembered he promise he made to Orochimaru. He’d become his soldier, his weapon. What kind of weapon would he be if he didn’t take the route that lead him to be an even greater weapon?
