... Epilogue ...

The world was launched into chaos after a month of waiting in beted breathe. A major political move happened.
Onoki's plan worked.
As he expected, Raikage Aye couldn't wait longer and decided to invade the land of fire despite the warning from there daimyo.
Onoki successfully managed to convince the daimyo of land of fire to hire them in order to protect the borders. He even offered a great amount of discount to the fire daimyo for their services. As a great hidden village, the hidden stone village has every right to take missions in another land. So technically they didn't broke any rules. And the daimyo of land of Earth couldn't do anything either.
As they expected, Kumo did not send it's full force. The shinobi from the hidden stone were able to repel the invaders from the hidden cloud. The hidden sand stayed quiet. So Onoki focused entirely on the hidden cloud. His plan succeeded masterfully. After losing on Elite jonin, Raikage decided to focus on land of earth and send Yugito. In response, Onoki sent Roshi to defend the borders of land of Earth. He was strictly ordered not to attack first.
By the time, Aye realised the divisius plan made by the old man Onoki, it was too late. The repetition of the hidden cloud has been that of an invader. While people talked about the growing reputation of hidden stone as the defenders.
Hidden stone did not broke any of the international rules set by all the daimyos and the nutral nation of land of iron.
And finally with no way out of the situation, the daimyo of the land of fire decided to give permission to the hidden stone village to establish a branch village in the land of fire.
The branch village would be provided with funds like the main village from the daimyo of land of fire. There would be some restrictions in the beginning. But those will be removed in time.
Onoki along with the others were ecastic after hearing the news. No one has expected to directly established another Hidden Village. But this outcome was also very good. They came out as the hero in front of the world. A great shinobi war was avoided due to know other nation intervining between the hidden stone and the Hidden cloud. Although they lost some of their capable shinobi, there sacrifice was worth it.
But the hidden cloud was not so lucky. Due to their aggressive actions, the common people's trust plummented a lot. So they got less D and C rank missions outside the village. The public painted them in a bad light. Along with their reputation their budget from daimyo also went down. Because of directly disobeying their orders, the daimyo of land of lightning, decided to cut the budget in 75% for next 5 years.
This entire conflict continued for one and half years.
But by that time there was a new player in the stage. By the time the three Nations were plunged into chaos, the other two became the playground of the demon lord.
Injust one and half of years, there living condition improved so much that half of the shinobi quit their job. Instead they went for a job under the different fields of demon lord. Of course all the new products and services was launched in the name of five Star company, but due to its origin from being land of waves, anyone can put two and two together. But no one complained. First they were happy and safe. At least safer than before. They were enjoying finest of the luxuries the world has to offer. The new technology and inventions like road, cars, computers and many more. Not to mention if they decided to stand against the demon lord, then there is only one fate awaiting them. If they are enjoying all these things, then why should they leave such luxury for pity reasons and throw away their life ?

While the world was going inside a tornado, Naruko was busy doing her experiments and managing the company. The underground business was being monitored and handled by En Oyashiro. The new hidden mist village was doing it's job as a major production line and storage area for the new products. With their daimyo gone for good, no one is there to provide them financial support except for The five Star company. Not to mention the inhabitants where tired of ages of blood shade. So relaxing for a while was the best they could ask for. The hidden Village of land of water was only staying in it's name. Their Kage, Mei Terumi was a powerful women along with a great knowledge for business.
And Naruko has appointed her as the CEO of the five star company after a lot of convincing.
All in all it was all good for Naruko.

But the same can't be said for Akatsuki. In these one and half years, many unfortunate and unexpected accident has happened with their members. And these accident has caused the death of many of them. The only living members were Pain, Konan, Itachi, Kisame and Obito.
Pain couldn't understand, how in the world someone like Hidan, died when his leg slipped on the bathroom floor. Or how someone like Deidara died from his own explosion.
Obito has the same kind of thoughts for Zetsu. Although he didn't die but got sealed away by the demon Naruko.
But her presence was a great obstacle for their future plans.
