Thanks for the reviews 
Now, chapter II !
Chapter III will feature a very special guest
--
The Kingdom of Dashonin used to be one of the most powerful kingdoms of the entire world, although it was relatively tiny compared to the other Kingdoms such as Omazu, Daishiru or Amena but it was still considered to be technologically superior (not in a sense "It had lasers guns", no. It just had better, more efficient means for agriculture, more refined literature, a better architecture) and so forth to them.
However, the country was even more well-known because it had the famous Ootsutsuki clan as its leader. That was probably the biggest reason the kingdom had any real attraction in its prime. After all, the Ootsutsuki were rather mysterious outside of the kingdom, and therefore gained plenty of rumors about their motives, origins and even a potentially intriguing use of a paranormal energy, mastering such energy source apparently allowed for the clan to manipulate the elements, or manipulate the very source of the universe.
These rumors were non-sense however, most of them anyway. The Ootsutsuki couldn't fly around, reproduce by vomiting an egg or shoot lasers out of their eyeballs but they effectively came from another world altogether, the Moon. For unknown reasons, having come centuries ago but never bothering to explain why in tablets.
Years of breeding with humans, however, slowly resulted in the Ootsutsuki looking less alien over the generations, with the new members of the clan having the usual red-hair and very pale skin, but losing things such as the horns, the gratuitous bone-sprouting technique and third eyes. However, the rest of the world feared them enough for the aliens to peacefully establish a country and make it grow.
However, the kingdom of Dashonin existed in a different continent than the one were, eons later, a young blonde man would change the entire world thanks to his generous actions. And therefore, most ninjas today ignore of is existence, albeit some like Orochimaru or Danzo were interested in it since it housed an alien clan, but according to the few ninjas who went there…
Well, Dashonin and all the others kingdom did not exist anymore, with the former home of the Ootsutsuki being nothing but a vast desert.
The reason such an "opulent" country could become the Sahara began when the king Kyokouei Ootsutsuki and the queen, Tashirana Bazane, finally had a baby. Much to the joy of the palace, and much to the (faked) happiness of the people, who were busy surviving while the elite was busy gossiping in gigantic palaces.
There was a war going on in this continent, a war that begun 345 years ago for unknown reason (people forget over time) and continue to ravage the land. The once prosperous Jinkyi forest of Omazu is not a grey, dull battlefield where young men and their dream come to die. The Shinsi mountains of Daishiru are now death traps, where even the slightest errors can lead to death for an expert and the city of Juganai, of the kingdom of Amena, is now nothing but ruins with the occasional soldier hidden in a rock, ready to stab anything that can move.
The kingdom of Daishonin is the general battlefield for each of the forces. In fact, the kingdom of Daishonin is located at the south, while Omazu is in the east, Daishiru the north and Amena the west, and while the Ootsutsuki's country was the smallest, the other kingdoms used it for the fighting because it was a sure way to reach the other country.
That's why the King of the country, Kyokukei, like all of the kings and queens before him, bowed down to wait. Who was winning the war was variable, sometimes, Amena had the others in the ropes until a sudden counter-attack managed to annihilate the main attack force and force them to retreat, sometimes, they were small periods of peace, but none of the monarchs were naïve enough to enter the war. The nation, while large enough for three armies to slug it out, was tiny and the only reason it wasn't attacked yet was because the others thought it wasn't a danger.
Therefore, the king just sat there in his throne, slipping tea while casually ignoring the screams let out by his wife, who was busy giving birth, hopefully to a boy. After all, only Amena had a female ruler, and it was hard to take women seriously in this war-torn continent. Of course, some refuted these sexists rules and pierced trough, such as the Ootsutsuki queens before, but Kyokukei never took his ancestors into account, usually.
His ears were suddenly pierced by an extremely loud scream, as the king jumped out of his throne out of surprise before turning his attention toward the guards who were, well, doing their job. They stared back at their king, visibly sweating because they caught the monarch's attention and because of the screams.
Kyokukei was already a rather menacing man. Tall and lean, he had shaggy red hair and red bear, the usual pale skin and was constantly dressed in the fanciest clothes that he could find. He also wore a gigantic crown on his head, made of "lunar rock" according to his ancestor.
It was made for the first Ootsutsuki monarch ever, on the moon, and was passed on for generations of leaders. So he tried to keep it on his head and walked toward the room upon hearing a much higher-pitched scream coming from it, and the yells of doctors. He could clearly see that something was horribly wrong about the situation but the only thing that could truly affect him would be the sudden end of the conflict, years of ruling a court made him immune to every depravity that could be thrown at him.
A doctor came out, covered in blood. The King winced at the thought of his stylish coat being coated in blood and stood back, while the man in white merely let out a sigh, seemingly exhausted and sad, tears streamed out of his face as he stared at the king, seemingly about to say something bad.
"Lord Kyokukei… We're sorry to announce that queen Tashirana is dying. The procedure was very exhausting for her after all !"
"Golly. What about the child ?"
The doctor was taken aback for a second but quickly resumed himself. If it wasn't for the man's position and the guard all around, he would've tried to punch the monarch already. The man of science quietly imagined a pink pony running in the champs to calm himself down and spoke back.
"She survived, thankfully."
"She ?"
"Yes. It's a girl !"
The king lets out an obvious expression of anger but said nothing. A queen wasn't so bad after all, people were ready to murder each other just to take care of her and therefore be safe in those big castles, set to protect the royal family if the armies were close, he disliked babies after all. They were loud, had hygiene problems, were stupid and grew up to become rebellious.
A nurse then came out of the door and whispered something to the doctor who coughed.
"The… the queen… died. We're sorry to announce su..;"
"What's your name ?"
Kyokukei pointed toward the nurse, who looked at him for a second with a surprised expression, surprised by the sudden question;
"Akira Domuro. Why ?"
"Congratulations. You're my new queen. GUARDS !"
Guards popped out.
"Take her to her new chambers. If I see something that belonged to the former queen when I come back you'll be sent to guard the front."
They gasped and took the stunned nurse to her new chambers. The doctor gasped : he was about to propose to the nurse shortly after the childbirth !
Meanwhile, the king pushed the doctor and entered the room, there was blood everywhere and he therefore took out an handkerchief to hopefully clean up the air around him, seeing the corpse of the woman he loved seemingly never had much of an effect on him.
"Sir…"
"I'm being all torn up inside. Now, let me see the goddamn baby."
One of the doctors hesitated and gave the small baby girl to the king who took her in his arms in a surprisingly gentle manner for such a man.
"Do you have any ideas about her name ?"
"Masashi ?"
"Anko ?"
"Kurenai ?"
"Rin ?"
The king flipped off the doctors, and quietly thought about sending the guards to them. Meanwhile, a guard stepped up and, noticing the small baby, responded quickly.
"Kaguya ?"
The king turned his head toward the guard, like everyone in the room. He was the dangerous man with a giant axe and a metal protection, completed with an oni mask, but the unfortunate guard still felt intimidated.
"Like. The bamboo cutter tale, who come from the moon."
"You mean. It's a supposedly clever twist on the fact that my people come from the moon ?"
"Yes sir !"
"Well. It works, so you're promoted ! And you also get to take care of her."
He handed Kaguya to the guard, who tried to take the baby in his arms in a shaky manner as the King left to resume his usual activity.
"Whoah ! Never thought this crap would work !" said the guard as he handed the baby to one of the doctors.
