The Shopkeeper of Konoha

Jon didn't waste more time and just used chaos magic to make the body of the Mountain vanish and turn to dust. The Mountain returned to the same things he was composed of. The most basic atoms. At the end of the day magic was also a part of science and every sorcerer needed to have some basic knowledge of magic. And thus Jon and Arya too knew about science. 

Might not be like scientists but at least high school science. Jaime and Cersei just realized how terrifying these people were. Turning a body to dust. This was way out of their 'paygrade'. 

"Now that you are here, it makes things easier." Aoto said. "There will be new warriors arriving and will settle down in Bronzegate. Tell your father to stay out of our way or he might die the next day." 

This shuddered Cersei and Jaime, because for some reason, Aoto mention of warriors made them feel there will more people just like him and the minute thought of it made her horrified. Jaime, being the brave he was asked. 

"Are you going to conquer the seven kingdoms?" 

Aoto who was ready to just leave the realm was surprised by his boldness.

"You know, your sharp and curiosity might kill you one day." Aoto said. 

"The Mad King said the same." Jaime said. This made Aoto laugh out loud. Jaime was proving to be just as feisty as he was when he lost his hand. This man was either stupid or was born to be in the house of Gryfinndor. 

"You have earned my respect Jaime Lannister. In fact, in all honesty, I would have liked you more than Tyrion if not because of your sexual and romantic relationship. A part of me even thinks that you got groomed. Oh sorry, you don't know what grooming is. This concept is kind of foreign to these lands. I am going off topic. Answering your question, do you think these savage lands have anything for us to conquer?" Aoto asked. 

"The lions don't really care how much space an ant takes under the ground. Because at the end of the day, an ant will never be able to conquer a lion nor will they dare to." Aoto continued. And after that he vanished from the sight. Ned just stood there in the side and had a faint smile on his face.

He was proud while Arya was a bit downtrodden because she didn't get to kill the Mountain. But Cersei and Joffrey were still alive so she had time. Jon didn't care much and talked with Ned.

The two siblings after coming out of the office room, ran away as fast as they could while not raising any alarms along the way. Both of them ran straight to the upper terrace above the Great Hall. Cersei fell on her knees on the roof while Jaime just came to edge and heaved heavily. 

They felt like the walls around them were crumbling down and vulnerable. Their lives didn't belong to them anymore and their arms were the proof of that. They couldn't even show their arms openly. It was because Jaime on the way spoke of the disease of Grayscale and the wicked and old Maester of King's Landing might just say that their poison was like Grayscale and thus banishing them to Valeria. 

"I told you.. I told you.. Not to bring that rock mountain with us. But no... You had to play the Queen.. Look where it has brought us." Jaime shouted. Cersei didn't expect the outburst and started sobbing. 

"Oh.. Now you are crying.. Alright.. Then how about this.. You take care of the Mountain.. Take responsibility for your own actions. I am not dealing with this." Jaime said while still heaving heavily and storming off. 

Cersei felt desperate and helpless as she saw Jaime leaving. 

When Aoto returned again to Konoha, it was evening and unsurprisingly everyone was at the home of Aoto. Except for Naruto who was with Chomei in library. 

"Kisuke.. Is everything ready?" Aoto asked. 

"Ready to be deployed." Kisuke did a fake salute. Aoto nodded. 

"Everyone, you know what you have to do." 

"Yosh." Everyone cried. Every one of them opened portals and stepped out and those who didn't followed the ones who could open portal.

The only ones left in the room were Kisuke and Aoto. And thus the wait began. The streets became empty pretty soon and there were no sounds in the streets. 

"They really are going all out." Kisuke said as he blew his fan. 

"It's a bad news for them as after this Hiruzen wouldn't trust his advisors and degrade their powers. They had done something which the Hokage didn't favor for and this would be their last move before Holage decides to bring the hammer down." Aoto said. 

"It might go both ways. Konoha always needs someone to clear their darkness and Danzo had lost a lot due to our intervention." Kisuke said. 

"True. But Konoha has also lost a lot due to his God complex or rather Konoha complex." Aoto said. 

"Sigh! The future is always dark." Kisuke said. 

"Did somebody say the future?" Loki who was in Westeros suddenly appeared. Jon and Arya were back in the evening for the 'massacre ceremony' and Loki being the guest thus was wasn't bothered. 

"We thought you were sleeping." Aoto said. 

"A god doesn't sleep." Loki said to which Aoto and Kisuke just rolled their eyes. This guy was way to narcissistic for them to handle. 

"I came here to see the massacre." Loki replied as he started eating some snacks which he brought from Westeros. 

"Tell us the real reason." Aoto could tell Loki was lying. He was God of tricksters and liars would always give a reason for things they didn't ask for. Loki flinched a bit and then said very meekly. 

"Cersei showed up at our doorstep." 

Aoto and Kisuke were confused about the context.
