Outside of Sunagakure, a huge beautiful mansion was erected from the Capsule.

In it were two beautiful women playing chess against each other.

One smiled:

"Here…Eivor."

"If you want to be a good leader never neglect the harmless details."

Eivor had an exasperated face as she lost once again:

"Hmph! Give me some slack, your highness!"

Cornelia laughed lightly. Eivor pouting tried changing the subject:

"Your Highness..."

"Isn't 24 hours too tight for an operation of this magnitude?"

"Will they make it on time?"

Cornelia laughed:

"It is too tight…"

"It's actually my main objective."

" If you give them enough time to think, they will be debates, faction will be created."

"Information will leak, and hesitation will prevail."

She took the king chess piece in her hand and gently played with it:

"Keep in mind, Eivor."

"If you want someone to do what you want, always keep him on his toes."

She then pounded it on the board:

"Force him into making a decision…!"

"When all said and done, then we can start working together."

Eivor still had to ask:

"If it is that easy…Why not use this on every village?"

Cornelia titled her head in negation, sighing deeply:

"Sunagakure is a pretty subtle case. The Daimyos have been in conflict with the Kazekages for generations."

"The Daimyos sees the Shinobi as an economic burden that doesn't win him any benefits and think that, since…."

" A big part of the security is due to the Harsh Weather and Sand Storms, they shouldn't ask for so much funding."

"The Kazekage sees the Daimyo's lack of founding as the central reason for their inferiority to the Leaf."

She had a complex gaze:

" In their mind, in the art of war, they are leading, with the puppets art, the poison art, the fan art and the development of Magnet Release."

Her lips turned into an ironic smile:

"Paradoxically, disciplines that rely a lot on manufacturing and funding. "

"To their credit, it is true."

She looked up to the sunny desert and narrowed her eyes, like she was analyzing all creation:

"All others village rely heavily on their genetic predispositions, their 'Kekkai Genkai'."

Her gaze then turned east, as if looking at a certain Leaf village.

"While Konoha leads by an extremely efficient formation system that constantly stacks incredible geniuses generation after another.

"Be it from civilian families or clans, "

"On top of extremely efficient clan abilities…"

There was a trace of longing in her eyes:

"Let's take the Aburame clan and the Yamanaka clan."

"I would have killed to have such abilities in my army."

"The spy and reconnaissance work they can accomplish, is much more precious than some new weapons or some fancy Kekkai Genkai."

Eivor sighed:

"The confusion in the Wind will only continue to grow with time, as everyone thinks they are doing the best for the country."

Cornelia sighed:

"That what makes this country one of the easiest places to take over."

"After all, the Four others are quite challenging..."

"The Leaf possess an incredible synergy with it's Daimyo. Each generation of Kage having deep friendship with the leading Daimyo. "

Eivor smirked:

"Of course, when they are bathed in resources and missions, why wouldn't they be friends?"

Cornelia had a doubtful expression on her face:

"It's partly that. But I think there is more to it."

Eivor furrowed her brows.

"Nobility, in whichever world…"

"Always tend to hold a certain amount of respect for ancient families."

"And the founding clans of Konoha be it the Senju, the Uchiha or the Hyuuga are extremely old, with a deep heritage, large personal wealth and prestige."

"Forging their own ancestral connections with the High Nobility of the Fire Country and even going beyond to relationship other clans in other countries."

"Like the relation between the Senju and the Uzumaki or the Hyuuga and the Kaguya."

"So, the Leaf is a big no."

Her eyes then moved to another direction

"The Cloud have a deep obsession with control."

"Their Raikage are traditionally short-tempered and quick to pull the trigger."

"They would rather have their current Daimyo then relinquish power. Also their sense of, honor and loyalty is only second to Konoha"

"So the Thunder is out of question."

She sighed again:

"The Earth is the country where the Daimyo system hold the greatest power."

"Not only the Rock but also the Mist is heavily reliant on their minerals and this is me not taking in account all the other little 'Hidden Villages' in other countries."

"The moment we lay our hands on him."

"The Earth would be the first there, the Grass and Waterfall will immediately intervene, Kiri would arrive last."

"Although we could easily handle all of them. "

"We would be creating war and showing our card uselessly."

"If there is a country where the Daimyo is unshakable it's there."

Eivor then had an ominous smile:

"Finally, The mist."

Cornelia had her hand over her forehead:

"The mist is at the same time, the easiest and hardest."

" In the mist, taking over power is easy…

"…Keeping it is extremely difficult."

She had a trace of pity in her eyes as she recollected the information about the Mist:

"There is a deep sense of mistrust looming all over the country."

"Be it between the Daimyos and the Kage, or between the Kage and his own shinobi."

"Civil wars are like a tradition for them. Clans that ooze bloodlust…Mizukages with a looming target on his back. "

"The cast system creating a deep division in this village."

"With the members of the Third cast holding a decade old grudge toward the other Two. The Second trying to take over the first one."

"And the first one always preparing missions to reduce the power of the other two, fearing to let go of power"

"It's where the Daimyo holds the least power but it's also where the Kage hold the least power."

She an exasperated face as she tilted her head:

"Any decision made by the Higher Ups will be questioned."

" If for the Sand the danger is to wait for opinions to be made."

"For Kiri factions have long been decided."

"Resistance to war, peace and any big decision is like a reflex for them."

Eivor sighed:

"So much hatred between people living in the same country, between neighbors and brother in arms."

"Living in it must be hell itself. "

Cornelia smiled with a slightly evil aura around her:

"And who's best to rule Hell, then the devil itself?"
