As Obelisk was the first to stand and deliver his demands, Keldran couldn’t help but smirk. He figured he would be the one, he had heard of his forthright nature during his time in Konoha. Here was no less, he just tried to slowly mature. Obelisk made a critical and almost undeniable point, Kogakure needed a medical center, they currently didn’t have one even though they had some nurses in the roster. He already had a ton of money to start out with, how he got the 2 million ryo though? He didn’t bother to find out, he was impressed he had it to begin with. Keldran was happy that he wasn’t the only one for once coming up with all the ideas and solutions so he stood and offered his hand out to Obelisk. His other hand reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope that was nearly busted completely open. Now Keldran spoke.

“Here is ten million ryo to add to your two million. Take the largest complex we have available in the Steel. Use this money for the upstart supplies and for paying your workers. All Shinobi in the Steel will receive free medical care and the normal populace will only have to pay for smaller ailments/treatments. Major surgeries will be paid for by the Fuma exclusively. This way we ensure the health of us all and our economy and protect the workers with great pay.”

A cheer and roar had erupted from the crowd, some people even clapping and whistling. Through all of the chaos if Obelisk focused his ears he could hear a simple. “I’m proud of you.” Slip from Keldran’s lips directed at him as he went to sit back down.

It was nice to see Shinra playing nice and offering to help Obelisk, he may need Shinra that’s for sure. Then Shinra brought up a great point of defense and many in the crowd wanted Keldran to expand on this more so he did. “Currently all of my black-steel smiths are working double time to create the metal necessary to build us a surrounding border wall to protect the village. So, whilst we wait for that Shinra has devised a plan that uses your clans hiden’s as a first line of defense. I’ve even begun to consider bringing my dragons into play as a sort of guard or deterrent to the possible dangers of the shinobi world. Do not fret. We will be fine, especially since we are so small currently not many know we exist.”

Next to speak up was Takahiro, he mentioned the existence previously of the Uchiha police force. Twas something Keldran wasn’t even aware existed. It sounded great, like a guard force within our guard force. Keldran could surely get behind it, but the problem was their numbers. Plus, the name of it. UCHIHA police. Not the STEEL police. Keldran let the idea swirl in his head and he would now speak towards him, “It is a great idea, all of my 200+ Fuma guard the steel faithfully but having more reach and flexibility with them would be optimal for sure. Though I’d hate to lock other clans out of this police force. How about we create the Steel’s version of the ANBU black ops?” He looked to Takahiro and many in the crowd began to think on it and squabble between themselves if it was a good idea. He’d wait for his response by answering others questions.

Hayate spoke up, mentioning if he could visit his father would was presumably in the leaf. This noticeably caused a lot of the crowd to shift and display angry faces. Keldran turned to look at Hayate and spoke truthfully. “I’m sure your father and the remaining Hyuga are good people. But, they need to remove themselves from Konoha and swear fealty to me before they are allowed to return on good terms this time around. My final word on this.” This put many at ease but the Hyuga members were saddened or angered at Keldran’s decision but you win some you lose some he thought in his own mind.

Then Tak, once again she shocked everyone in the room. Most notably her family members appalled at what she blatantly asked Keldran outright. Keldran would give her exactly what she asked for here and now.

“You must remove all loyalty to your previous clan and swear fealty to the Fuma clan. You will learn and train under one of the current black-steel smiths and work for us faithfully for as many years as we request from you. This special craft must be taken with you to the grave. If you are caught or heard of teaching our craft to anyone the punishment is death. The only way that can change is if you marry into the Fuma main family. Aka, Myself or Myoo. That’s all the information I can offer you.”

[Past Dialogue] 

Keldran waved at Hotaru as she swung by, this is when adults wearing shinobi outfits dawning the Nara symbol appeared directly in front of them. They both greeted Keldran justly and he responded kindly. “Wonderful, somewhat tired. But wonderful. Thank you for asking, yourselves?”

[Back to present]

“Any more questions? There has to be more than that right?”
