What if Naruto Became The Senju Leader | Part 2

Uzzu Maki Midito felt as though her own vitality was evaporating. At the age of 108, the elderly woman had outlived the majority of Shinobi in the Elemental Nations. One of the most well-known Kunoichi since the clan wars era, Mito was the erys of the Uzuaki clan. Her influence grew even more after she wed Senju Hashiama, the Shinobi No Cami and the love of her life. Mito had led a relatively quiet and peaceful life in spite of her immense power and influence. When Konaha was at war, Mito was always a strategist who stayed in the village with her family. The only battle she participated in was the one between her husband and Uchiah Matera. In the past, many people loved and admired Mito, the first lady of Kona, who was like a mother to the majority of the younger villagers. Unfortunately, Mito had also lost a lot of valuable people to the wars that plagued the world for a long time, just like her granddaughters. The loss of her beloved husband was the most agonizing. Mito was changed after Senju Hashiama<unk>s untimely death. It seemed as though a piece of her soul had left with her lover. After that, she lost her grandson, Senju Noaki, and her son and daughter-in-law passed away. Midito had learned to let go of the tragedies that plagued her and had gained wisdom from her advanced age. In the final years of her life, Mido had regained as many valuable individuals as she had lost. Midito had the strongest bond with Senju Naro, Senju Hashiama's direct descendant of all her great-grandchildren. There was something about Naruto's gentle and intelligent nature that made him resemble his great-grandfather, and the young boy reminded her a lot of the Shoai Hokag. The elderly Uzumaki was thrilled that Nar had inherited the will of fire, which had been handed down from Senju Hashiama's teachings. He hoped that Nar would eventually be able to fully take over the Shoai's legacy in Konaha. Though she wished she could have seen it with her own eyes, Mido had a lot of hope for the future and was powerless to override the laws of life and death. Every legend has an end, and Usuzumaki Mido was nearing that end. Although Mido was not a medical professional, she sensed that the seal she had put on herself was eroding, and that her life force was vanishing. It had always been her worst nightmare, but now she had to make a decision before she passed away about what to do with the Kaobi. The monstrosity is too powerful to be allowed to roam the world, so letting it go is not an option. Sealing the Kaobi into someone else was the last thing Midito would want to do. But sadly, there was no other option. Sanju Nar was training once more, but this time he wasn't at his typical private training facility in the middle of the island. Rather, he was at the most remote and private training ground, and the smallest one constructed by the Senju Uzumaki family. The other side of the training ground was the edge of a cliff and a sizable forest obscured the area from view. The young man truly didn't want anyone in his family to know about his experiment. So, he had also surrounded the area with a wide variety of privacy seals that he had learned how to use from his father and Baan. Normally, the Senju air would never even think about training in the cramped space, but he needed some solitude to work out a problem that had been bothering him for a long time. With his hands baldled into fists and his eyes closed, Narut stood still in the middle of the training field. He was chanting his chakra throughout his entire body while the gentle morning breeze blew around him. He had a suspicion that he possessed a secret talent that only his greatgrandfather possessed, and he needed to validate his theory. For the past year or so, the plants around Narudo have been treated horribly, regardless of where he is. No one could explain how the ghost orchids he and Kusha had planted grew into full bloom in a single night. The evidence was too clear for Narut to ignore, but the allegation that Nar possessed Moatan was too outrageous for Sununade and Jeriah to even consider. The Senju air held the epicenter of each chakra bundle in his two hands and directed most of his chakra into his two sides. Nar changed the chakras in his right and left hands into Sweden chakra and doden chakra respectively, just like he had done during his njutsu training. He recalled his baan telling him that the shoddai hokag used his moaton by simultaneously using the doden and sweetened chakra and that he needed to test his own abilities. Although Nar was unaware of any moaton jutsu, he was aware that something would emerge from his chakra if he actually had the kek jenke. Nar clapped his hands together and snapped his eyes open. An aura of tremendous energy enveloped the Senju<unk>s body as a result of his vast chakra reserves and the vibrations sent through the ground caused the ground to tremble. Nar exclaimed, "Ha!" as his eyes widened at the sight of his chakra, exploding in a destructive maelstrom all around him. A tiny crater developed around Nar as he released his chakra through each chakra point on his body. Nar noticed that a lot of trees had sprung up all around him after the ground began to tremble violently. They were more than just ordinary trees. They were growing more quickly than Narudo had ever seen. And before long, they were on par with the very old trees that had stood on the island since before he was even born. When Nar expelled nearly all of his chakra, the training field he was on vanished and was entirely transformed into a dense, enormous forest. The trees branches continued to grow taller and taller, and even the canopies appeared full and expansive. The Senju air was extremely worn out. It was the most fatigued he had ever been. His eyes gradually closed and he collapsed to the ground encircled by the trees he had grown. Although Nar was nearly unconscious, he was happy and felt as though he had inherited his great-grandfather's once exclusive Keek Jenke. Nar was happy to have more power to defend his family because the infamous Moatan ability will surely make him much more powerful than before. Nar muttered, "Kuso, I used by all my chakra." as he attempted to move his body but was unsuccessful. When the Senju noticed another of the odd fruit he had eaten some time ago, hovering near him on one of the new branches he had made, his eyes widened. Nar smiled lightly and strained his entire body to reach for the fruit, which was fortunately close by. Nar brought the fruit close to his nose once more and inhaled its divine aroma. The young man felt his chakra reserves refuel after taking a bite out of the juicy goodness. He was right to assume that the fruit must have some connection to his Moatan ability and be able to provide him with chakra. It resembled a cuttingedge food pill with no negative effects. After several more minutes, Nar was able to move once more as his body gradually began to relax and regain its strength. The fruit nearly restored all of his chakra, which was incredible because a typical food pill. Even the ones his mother makes would typically only restore 25% of his reserves. Leaping to his feet, the young Senju ran up one of his trees and stood at top the area. Sugoy. Nar muttered, aruck by his own invention. In the center of the training field, a whole forest was formed with his chakra burst, and the trees were even larger than the ones that were already there. Although the forest he produced was tiny and far smaller than the landscapes his Gigi could create, it demonstrated to Nar the enormous potential of his power. The boy was hopeful that he would eventually become as skilled with his keek Jenke as the Shoai Hokag because he was only 10 years old and had many years to grow. Narut grinned as he got to his feet. The young man hurried back to his house and said, "I have to tell Ba Chan about his. I bet she will completely freak out." Sununade and Jera were having a great afternoon with their young daughter. The two sonin had forgotten how adorable and entertaining babies were because they were accustomed to raising young teenagers as kids. When she was a baby, little Mito was just like Kasha, a joyful, upbeat person who brightened any space she was in. After giving her daughter her whole attention, Sununade concluded that the child was in perfect health. As she wiggled the infant's tiny nose, Sununade asked, "Can you say, "Mama, Midochan?" Jeriah laughed as he saw his infant daughter look up at her mother and make goofy faces at her. The sonin was astounded by how ideal his life had become. He had always dreamed as a child that he and would start a small family, but he never imagined that would come to pass. Jeriah reflected on his life in Konaha and realized that he was not nearly as fulfilled as he was on a remote island with his family, even though it had been years since he had encountered other ninjas or embarked on a mission. With a smile, the white-haired man put his arms around his wife and gave her a cheek kiss. As he laid his head on his wife's shoulder, the man spoke passionately, "I love you, sununade. You really made me the happiest man ever." With a gentle smile, Sununade turned to give her husband a cheap kiss. There were no words that Sununade could have used to describe the happiness she felt in the last 10 years. Everything was perfect. She couldn't believe how much she loved her family, all of whom were literally a part of her life. Her feelings for Jeriah had been growing stronger and stronger as the years passed, and it was difficult to believe that she once thought of him as nothing more than a pervert. "You are so sweet," whispered the woman as she leaned closer against her husband at a loss for words. As she reached up to tug on a strand of white hair, little Mito giggled and smiled at her father's white mane. Ba ba. The little baby gurgled as she tugged on her father's hair. With a laugh, Jeriah grabbed his daughter from his wife's arms and said, "Hey, Mitochan, do you like your father's hair?" As he held his infant daughter against his chest, the beaming man asked. Sununade got up and was going to play with her young daughter some more when she noticed her grandmother enter the room looking extremely worn out. Sununade was shocked to see that the elderly woman appeared to have aged significantly over the past few months to the point where it was very noticeable. The Senzu Sani was concerned for her grandmother, but there was really nothing she could do to stop natural aging. Uzzumaki Midito had been an elderly woman for a long time, but she had never looked her age because of her incredibly strong life force and Uzzumaki blood. Assunade approached her mother figure, she said softly, Bachan, are you okay? Midito gave her granddaughter a soft smile and said, "I'm sure you have noticed by now, Sunsunade Chan. My life is coming to an end." Sununade was looking down on the ground with her eyes closed, slowly wrapping her arms around her. Ba Chan, it had been a long time since Sunnade had to worry about losing someone she loved to death, and it was just as horrifying as she remembered. Jeriah's eyes widened as he stood still with his baby daughter in his arms. He was shocked beyond belief, not realizing that Midito was nearing the end of her natural lifespan. As she put her arms around Sununade, Mito cast a sorrowful glance down and said, "I'm sorry, Sununade Chan, but it is just my time to go. I am already 108 years old." Tears filleds eyes as she looked back up, saying, "I know, but I don't want to lose you, Bachchan." Jaria sighed and rocked his little girl up and down gently, trying to do the only thing he could to help the situation. The woman cried as her body shook. The baby Mito seemed to have sensed the sadness in the room and started to let out whales of sadness of her own. "You are my darling granddaughter, and I love you more than anything." Mito said kindly, while the elderly Uzumaki nodded and held her daughter. "But there are more important matters that we must account for." "You mean?" Sununade asked, her eyes widening. The woman mumbled in concern as Jeriah appeared upset as well. As the two younger shinobi gasped, Mito sighed and nodded once more. Yes, because I am getting weaker and weaker. My seal keeping the Kaobi at bay is also getting weaker, and the beast will soon be able to escape. I have about 2 months left. That is the most I can push it. I must seal the Buju into a new Juniki soon, Mido said. Does that mean you are planning to seal the Kaobi into either Narut or Kasha? Jera asked, ignoring the lump in his throat as he moved forward. The man's wife appeared to be very upset, so he asked. The Uzumaki leader closed her eyes and took a seat. As much as I don't want to, Narut Chan and Kasha Chan are the most logical choices. Midito said almost shakily. But all in all, Kasha Chan is the most logical choice. Her chakra chains will be able to fully suppress the Kaobi, and her Fuenjutsu is more advanced than Narut, so she will be able to alter the seal if needed. Mito added, "Nar will be a good candidate because he has a very powerful chakra and a very powerful mindset. So, he might be able to repress the Kaobi." Since Kosa was her pride and joy, Sununade sat down next to Mito and put an arm around her, knowing that Mito was struggling even more than they were. "Okay, Ba Chan, we will use cushion." Midito<unk>s eyes widened when she sensed someone feeling bad behind the door. And when she turned to look, she saw Nar burst through. Whensunade and Jeriah saw their son, their eyes widened and they hurriedly tried to come up with a few ways to lie. Hey Narokun, are you finished with your training? With a smile on his face, the father asked. Nar scowlled at his dad. Don't worry, Tu Chan. I heard it all. Don't worry, Narochan. Everything has not been decided yet. Just let you hurried over to embrace her son. The jun n c hu r i k i will be me. As he shook free of his mother's hold, Nar exclaimed. When Mito approached the young man, everyone was taken aback. Why you really want to become the Jun Shuriki? Nar asked the elderly woman as she stared at her great-grandson. Why? I have read about Jun Shuriki and all the danger and animosity they face. Nar said looking at his family with a painful expression on his face. I will never let Kusha go through any of that. the Senju said. When Narut heard that his Ba Chan was going to die soon, his joyful mood abruptly faded and he began to deteriorate significantly as he listened to his parents' conversation. Nar had been behind the door and really didn't mean to eaves drop, but he was frozen. So gripped Naruto's shoulders and said, "Kusha is the most sensible choice, but none of us want to let her go through any of that. We all love her more than life. No way. All of you should know that Kasha is still a child and is not ready to bear the weight of being a Juniki, said Narut, shaking his head. How can any of you think that Kosa would be a suitable Juniki? The Senju said angrily, angry at his parents for letting him suffer the fate of a Juniki. The Senju glared at the adults and cried out. The boy's rage startled Jeriah, who approached his son and said, "So, you are willing to take all the pain by yourself? How do you know that you are strong enough to become the Jun Churiki?" the man asked very seriously. Kasha has the chakra chains that can restrain the Kaobi, so it is just less risky for Kasha to become the Junuriki. Yes, I will bear the pain alone. No matter what, I will never allow Kasha to be a Juniki," Narut said, nodding as he turned to face his father. "Why are you so worried about Kusha Chan? What makes you want to take everything on yourself?" Mito asked Nar, approaching him and meeting his eyes. You should know better than anyone. Ba Chan, the young man said lightly, and the Senju<unk>s eyes softened. Kasha is precious to me, and I will never let something like this happen to her. I have been training my entire life to protect the people I love, and I am not about to let my most precious person suffer the fate of a Jun Churiki while I stand idly by doing nothing, Narut said, observing the shocked expressions on his family's faces. You are being naive, Narut. We love you and Kasha equally, but it is simply less risky for Kusha to become the Jun Churiki,"Sunade said, shaking her head. "No, no one is more capable of being the Kaobi Juniki than me," Narudo said, shaking his head. Jeriah became perplexed. "What the devil are you talking about?" Nar as he attempted to level his infant daughter in his arms, the man asked with a fierce expression on his face. Nar approached the edge of the room and picked up a single potted plant, holding it in his hands as he turned to face his family. Kasha may have a strong chakra that can restrain the Kaobi, but I can fully control it. The plant began to shake violently as Narut poured his chakra into the pot, and the pot cracked, split, and was soon blown to pieces. Jeriah, and Mido watched in utter shock as the plant in Naruto's hands began to grow exponentially in size. In a matter of seconds, it was as tall as the roof and as wide as both walls. Leaning back against the couch, Mido covered her mouth in disbelief and said, "I am possible. That's Moatan." The elderly woman muttered as Jeriah andSunade looked on in utter disbelief. After dropping the enormous center of the plant to the ground, Narut approached his parents and said, "No one is more suitable for being the Kaobi Juniki than me." As he watched his family stare in disbelief at his talent, there was a great deal of silence before a voice jolted them all out of their revery. "What was that sound?" "Is anyone in here?" asked Kasha from behind the door. When Nar saw Kusha with an inquisitive expression on her face, he reacted instantly, sped to the door, and walked out casually, grinning. "Hey, Kushi Chan, what are you doing here? Aren't you training at the medical lab?" inquired the young man in his typical tone. Kasha nodded and grinned at the young man, saying, "I was, but I decided to check it out because I heard something really loud here." As he approached and grasped Kusha's hand, the young teen said, "Yeah, that was me." While rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. I was walking off the wall and accidentally fell. Kasha tightened her hold on Naruto's hand while giggling, saying, "Narukun, you are such a baka. Are you hurt anywhere?" "Of course not, but I am a little hungry. Let's go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to eat. Nar said with a smile to the girl. Yes, the Uzumaki girl wearing a broad smile chirped. The fact that Narut had the kek jenke changed everything. He was the best candidate to become the Kaobi Juniki. Mito was still leaning on the couch in the room looking shocked. She had hoped that her gifted great grandson would become like the Shoai Hokag, but she had not anticipated the outcome to be so literal. The legendary ability of her husband had never been activated by anyone in the Senju clan after Senju Hashiama. As she ignored the inquisitive chatter of Little Mido, Sununade leaned on her husband. The female Sunonnin's gaze was fixed on the enormous plant that her son had grown in a matter of seconds, and she was shocked that her incredibly gifted son would surprise her even more with his legendary ability. Sununade could recall in her dim memories of her grandfather that he had grown entire forests in a matter of seconds. While he was thinking about the revelation that had come to him, Jeriah unconsciously held his daughter to his chest. He was more certain than ever that Nar was the child of prophecy that the Elder Toad had foreseen. With Moatan's power, Nar would become as strong as the Shoai Hokag and might even usher in a period of stable peace. Sununade and Jera had been avoiding their planned conversation with Kasha for the entire previous week, so it wasn't a good day. Kasha had always been a Senju since birth, but she also had to carry the Uzumaki clan and be aware that she was adopted. Kusha was the last full-blooded member of the clan, and it would be her duty to carry on the clan's teachings and name after Mido died. The parents can safely say that they love Kosa just as much as they love Narut and Mido, and they need to make sure Kasha knows that as a fact.Sunady Sununade and Jeriah had always known that they would one day tell Kosa about her true heritage, but they were feeling less than motivated once the time came. Kasha had always been the happiest soul in the family, and they couldn't even imagine how she would react once she was told the truth. "Where are we going, Tu Chan? I want to go train with Nukun. He's supposed to be teaching me the Rasengon," Kasha said as she climbed onto her father's shoulders. As Midito led the small family to Kosa's room, they hoped that Kosa would feel more at ease in her own space. Sununade and Jeriah were extremely anxious, having not slept a single minute the night before, and they were holding Kasha's hand all the time. Jeriah wanted nothing more than to hold his precious girl to his chest so she would never be sad. Sununade kissed Kosa's hand and said, "We just have something to speak to you about Kasha Chan." When the family finally arrived at Kasha's room, they made sure to shut the door behind them. Jeriah andSunady surveyed the daughter's unusually clean room. Nar had probably cleaned it up for the typically messy girl and noticed the numerous pictures on the girl's shelves, the majority of which featured the entire family, which only served to further depress the parents. The young adolescent girl laughed sheepishly and bit her lip, asking, "Am I in trouble?" With a slight smile, the girl asked. Sununade finally broke down and started crying as she held her daughter to her chest. I'm sorry, Kasha Chan. The devoted mother murmured, making Kusha a little uneasy. Just remember that no matter what, you are our lovely daughter, and we will always love you. Mito sat next to Kosa and gazed down at her as Sununade released the terrified girl from the embrace. Sununade could not bear to watch, so she put her arms around her husband and leaned her head against his chest. Jeriah tried his best to be emotionless at the scene, but it was turning out to be one of the hardest things he had ever had to do, and he couldn't help but give his wife a comforting hug. Kasha looked up at Mito and became more serious. What's going on, Ba Chan? Did something go wrong? Because of her extensive experience, Mito was the most composed adult in the room. Kasha Chan, first I must tell you that I am dying. The elderly woman said bluntly, unable to afford to hold back. I have only another month to live at what the woman said. Kasha froze in place. What? Whispered the girl as tears started to well in her eyes. Kasha had always been very close to Mito. They were always training together and played together. It greatly pained Kasha to hear her words. Kasha jumped into Mito<unk>'s arms and hugged her precious great grandmother as tight as possible. What are you saying, Ba Chan? exclaimed the girl fearfully. No. The Uzumaki leader said, I love you, Kasha Chan. You are my pride and joy. Midito felt her emotional shell breaking. So, she knew she had to move quickly. But after I am dead, you will be the one responsible for succeeding the Uzumaki clan and becoming its new leader. Knowing it was serious, Kusha withdrew from her embrace and said, "What do you mean?" As she turned to face Kosa, the former redhead closed her eyes and said, "You are the only full-blooded Uzumaki member left, and it is your responsibility to continue to Uzumaki name." Just me? On the brink of revelation, Kasha muttered, "What do you mean by that?" To stop herself from crying, Mito bit the inside of her mouth. "You are not actually related to Jeriah andsunade. You were adopted." The elder said in a tremulous voice, "Your full name is not Senju Kusha. It is Usuzuaki Kusha." Sununade and Jeriah felt their hearts tighten in agony as soon as Mido finished speaking, and they both opened their eyes to gaze at their beloved daughter. "What?" Kasha asked, her face expressionless. Sununade and Jeriah couldn't stand it any longer and rushed over to give Kasha the tightest hug they could. The father hugged Kasha's side and tried to do everything he could to comfort his daughter while the mother pulled Kasha's head into her chest and ran her finger through her silky hair. Kusha's parents thought she wasn't moving at all. But soon her entire body began to tremble and it broke their hearts. Kusha always had some fear that she might not be her parents' daughter because she had noticed that they looked completely different. Nar and Mido both shared some characteristics with their parents, but Kusha didn't look like them. The mother kissed the top of her daughter<unk>s head and said, "We will always love you and you will always be our precious daughter." Sununade closed her eyes and held Kusha close to her. "I promise you Kusha, nothing will change because of this," the mother said. With his eyes closed, Jeriah nodded and said, "Yes, you will always be our little girl." The Sanin felt her heartache as she laid her eyes on Kasha<unk>s weeping face with endless amounts of tears streaming down her face. The parents had never seen Kasha cry so much in her life. She had always been a loving and happy soul, and she had never wept in agony before. Kasha was letting out heartbreaking sobs in between her quick and rapid breathes, and her hands and legs were shaking lightly as she tried to wipe her eyes. Nade withdrew from the embrace and disregarded the tears that soaked her clothes. As she struggled to make sense of her final moments, Kasha<unk>s mind was racing. Why are they telling me this? She thought in the middle of her confusion, "Do they not want me anymore because they have Midochan?" As he pulled Kusha against his chest and rocked her gently back and forth. Jeriah wiped some tears from his daughter's eyes and said, "We are only telling you this because you need to become the new Uzumaki leader. We are all still one happy family." Kasha's sobbs started to lessen and level out because she had forced herself to sleep in order to avoid facing the situation. Jeriah closed his eyes, tucked Kusha back into her bed, and gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead. The woman whispered, "I've never seen Kosa cry like that." As she looked down at the girl, while Sunade held onto Mito's hand and wiped her eyes, Mito remained silent and wiped some tears from her own eyes. She loved Kusha as if she were her own daughter, and it broke her heart to see the girl cry so much. We should let Kusha rest, Jeriah said, closing his eyes and making his way to the door. The man vanished with a shunchen nojutsu. Let's<unk> go. Mito andsunade said as they stood up, and the other adult disappeared from the room. The Senju was holding his right arm with his left hand as he walked. He had been practicing his Moatan manipulation for the past few days, and it was far more difficult than all of his other elemental training. Nar had completed his daily training and was wandering around the large clan home. He was worried because Kusha had missed their scheduled training session. Even though the girl never missed a training session with him, especially when he was going to teach her the Renon, Mido had informed him that she still had some of the scrolls that the Shoai Hokage wrote about using Moatan, but she wanted Nar to master all the fundamentals before letting him use proper jutsu. Unfortunately, Mido only had a few of the many scrolls that her husband wrote. The majority of the other ones were back in the Senju clan library in Konaha, so Narut would have to travel back home to read those. Moatan focuses on using Doden and Sweden chakra in tandem. But Nar had always been more skilled at using futon than the other two, so he needed to get used to it. Like his previous training, Nar was picking up the idea of his new power pretty quickly, and he was already able to control the direction of the trees he grew. The Senju discovered that occasionally the delicious fruit would grow on a random branch, but he had not yet figured out how he created them. He gave this a lot of importance because he truly found them useful. As Nar entered the living room, he muttered to himself, "Where is Kushi Chan? She wasn't in the medical lab." To his surprise, he saw Ba Chan and his parents sitting on the rooms couches, and the strangest thing was that they all had somber expressions on their faces. "Um, hey, did something happen?" the young man raised an eyebrow and asked. Sununade, Jeriah, and Midito had been sitting in the living room for nearly two hours now, and not a single one of them had muttered a word. They were all troubled by the sight of Kosa sobbing in complete agony. Every time they closed their eyes, they saw Kusha sobbing as she trembled and hugged herself. It was extremely painful for them all to watch the once happy and joyful girl become so depressed because of them, the ones who were supposed to be caring for her. "Naro, you should go see Kusha Chan. She is in her room." Jeriah opened his eyes and gave his son a serious look while his wife and grandmother-in-law remained silent. The Senju became alarmed for Kusha, thinking that something must have happened and that the girl might be hurt, and Narut hurried out of the room without saying anything. It was as if a primal force overcame him, causing him to dash as quickly as he could to Kosa's room. A few years ago, Kusha had her room painted a light blonde color, which she claimed she loved and felt safe in, possibly because it was the same color as her mother's hair. Kusha could still recall how much fun it was to paint her room with her mother, receiving more paint from each other than from the wall. Kasha had always been a bit of a messy girl, and her room reflected that trait of her personality, but Narudo had usually been the one to clean it up for her. The girl had taken to reading up on her subjects ever since she began learning from her family and she had run out of space for her books. Jeriah decided to build her some bookshelves and he also taught Kasha some carpentry. Although Kasha doesn't train with her father very often in Njutsu, the man taught her many useful skills such as carpentry, cooking, and writing to name a few. There were also several bookshelves against the side of her room and they were stocked with a variety of books about medical njutsu and fujutsu. As a child, Kasha kept a diary on her desk and made it a habit to write down the highlights of her day before going to bed. It was Mido who first introduced her to journaling. One night when she was a little child, Kasha walked into Mido writing in her diary and asked her Ba Chan what she was doing. Mido showed her the hundreds of diaries she had kept over the years and the idea inspired Kusha to try it herself. Writing in her diary helped her cope with the stress of training and it always made her feel better afterward. Then there was a little Sakura bonsai tree that sat on Kasha<unk>s desk. A year ago, Nar received a seed for the plant, planted it in a pot, and gave it to Kosa as a birthday present. At the time, Nar apologized because the plant was still a seedling, but he promised to help her grow the tree together. Despite this, Kasha loved the gift and gave Nar a tight hug. She even made him promise that he would have to promise her something in the future the day the tree was in full bloom. As Kasha hugged her knees to her chest and stared at the bonsai tree, she thought to herself, "Narukun." While tears were still streaming from her eyes, "You are not my real brother. Will you not love me anymore because of that?" Everywhere Kasha looked, she was reminded of some of the fun times she spent with her family, and the memories only made her sadder. Her family was everything to her, the only people she had known since birth, and she was losing herself in her thoughts, wondering what would happen if she lost them. Though her room had always been her haven, the idea of losing them made her feel more depressed than she had ever imagined possible. Despite knowing she had no wounds, Kusha wanted to apply some healing chakra to her own heart because it hurt more than anything else she had ever experienced. Her eyes were watering uncontrollably, and no matter what she did, her heart continued to ache. But all of a sudden, her door slammed open. The girl didn't know what had happened to her. But as soon as she realized it was Narut at her door, she started to cry even harder than before. Kasha glanced over at her door and saw her most precious person staring at her with nothing but worry in his eyes. The Senju wrapped his arms around Kusha and pulled her tightly against his chest, his own heart aching as he felt Kusha tremble in his arms. Nar had no idea why Kusha was crying, but at the time he would do anything to make her happy again. So he lifted her gently from her bed and allowed her to sit on his lap. Nar felt his heart clench beyond just pain at the sight of Kusha crying and he was by her side almost immediately. As he kissed the top of Kosa<unk>s head, Nar whispered into her ears, "It's okay, Kushi Chan. I'm here now and I will never let anything hurt you." Kusha was so saddened by the fact that her Ba Chan was dying and that her parents might no longer want her. But nothing hurt her more than the thought of losing Nar forever. Kusha couldn't remember a day that she had spent without Narut. The young man was the most important person in her life, and losing him would be the end of the world for her. Kusha continued to cry as she rested her head on the crook of Naruto's neck, her arms tightly wrapped around him as if she was afraid he would abandon her. Kusha cried into Naruto's clothing and gave him the tightest hug she could manage. And Narukun, the girl muttered, trying to speak clearly. He please don't leave me. She said something that shocked Narut, who immediately embraced her more tightly and said, "What are you talking about, Kushi Chan? I will never leave you. I'm scared. I'm just an adopted daughter here, and I don't want to lose you." The girl said in a raspy voice from all the crying. When his parents told Kosa that, Naruto's eyes widened. The Senju was as shocked as Kusha was when she learned of it, and he almost immediately realized how terrified Kusha must be. The girl loved her family above all else, and she must have thought that because she was adopted, she would no longer be wanted or loved in the family. Nar clutched his fists together as his heart clenched painfully, sensing that Kusha<unk>s hurt was causing him pain. The Senju said with conviction, "I don't care about any of that. You are my most precious and important person, and I will die before I leave you." Nar stroked the back of Kusha<unk>s head while running his fingers through her hair. "It doesn't matter that you are not my true sister. You have always been more than that to me. His words caused Kusha<unk>s breathing to slightly slow down and he drew back slightly to meet Naruto<unk>'s gaze. Are really? Looking into Kosa<unk>s eyes, Nar leaned in and gave her a tender kiss on the forehead, whispering, "You are everything to me, Kushi Chan. Nothing matters as long as you are with me. I will love you forever," he said. She was so relieved that she wouldn't be losing her most valuable person that Kusha's lips trembled and she began to cry once more. After placing Kusha on the bed and covering them both with the blanket, Narut put his arms around her and drew her close to him. I will stay with you until the end. I will always be yours, the Senju whispered as he closed his eyes and encircled Kosa with his chakra. A warm sensation surrounded her, making her drowsy. And for the second time that day, Kosa fell asleep with tears in her eyes. Narut held Kusha's head near his chest and wrapped his legs around hers because he wanted to be as close to her as possible and reassure her that he would always be with her. Nar also fell asleep, whispering, "I love you, Kushi Chan." The two young teenagers faces were illuminated by the morning light that filtered through the rooms window, causing Kosa's eyelids to twitch as the light gradually roused her from her sound sleep. Throughout the night, Kasha had been dreaming about her family and her adoption. But none of those dreams could have been classified as nightmares because they were all about how they would treat her in the same way as before. As Kusha opened her eyes and looked around, she noticed a yellow glow that drew her attention. She swiveled her head to see the entire image, and the sight made her heart skip a beat. The yellow glow was caused by sunlight reflecting off of Naruto's golden hair, which was sleeping with a calm expression on his face, which Kusha thought was the most attractive face she had ever seen. When Kusha realized where she and Narudo were, her face turned an impossible shade of red, and she gave a cute little squeak. Kusha had been sleeping on him, so now her side was resting on his chest, and her head was inside the crook of his neck. Naruto's arms were tightly wrapped around her waist, as if he was worried that she would vanish when he woke up. and her body flushed with his. Like Narudo, Kusha had been thinking about her own feelings for Narudo, and she had always known that she considered him her most precious person. But she had also assumed that her feelings for him were that of a sibling love. But she was proven wrong when Mido was born. The Uzumaki loved her little sister, but her feelings for Nar were much stronger, and it made her wonder what she actually feels for Nar. The memories of the previous day came flooding back to Kosa in large chunks, and it made her feel a little scared again. But she felt much better after Naruto had told her. "I love you, Narukun," Kasha declared as she cuped Naruto<unk>'s cheek with a loving hand. When Naruto's eyes slowly opened to greet the morning after being awakened by Kasha<unk>s gentle voice, he realized that he was not in his own room, and his memories of the night before came flooding back to him. The Senju quickly glanced to his side and saw Kosa smiling as she looked at him, and that instantly lifted his spirits. As Narut relished the warmth Kusha gave him, he murmured, "Good morning, Kushi Chan," the young man reached up and touched Kusha's cheek, asking how he was feeling. "I'm feeling much better. Thank you, Narukun," the girl said with a smile and a nod. "We can spend more time with each other, just the two of us," Narudo said, grinning and drawing Kusha closer to him. "We can stay in bed for the entire day today. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Narukun. I thought everything out and I should be fine now. Kasha said with a smile and a hand on Naruto's chest. But the girl was still anxious about seeing her parents and Ba Chan. I don't care. We<unk>ll stay here today and nothing will bother us. The Senju said, shaking his head. As he sat up and lifted Kasha onto his lap, the young teen joyfully chirped. Glad that Nar was so thoughtful of her. The girl nodded and giggled. "Okay, Narukun," she said. Narut grinned at the girl, but then he noticed the Sakura bonsai tree on Kasha's desk. The Senju grinned when he recalled the arrangement he had made with the bonsai tree. So, he reached out and picked up the potted plant, bringing it close to him and Kasha. He glanced at Kosa and saw that she was simply perplexed by his behavior. The bonsai tree appeared healthy, but it was far from fully developed with only one cheery blossom blooming. As he channeled some chakra into the pot, the young man said, "I remember the deal I made with Yukushi Chan." Kusha looked at the trembling plant and gasped as it began to grow until it filled the entire pot and the seven flower plums on its branches opened and blossomed into healthy and beautiful cherry blossoms. "I said that I will promise you something once this tree was fully grown," began the Senju, grinning at the girl. And now that it is, I promise you, Senju Kusha, that you will always be the one person that I will love more than anything or anyone, and we will always be together no matter what. When the girl put her arms around Nar and buried her face in the crook of his neck, she choked out, "Thank you, Narukun. I will also love you more than anything or anyone forever." Kusha was shocked that Nar could somehow grow the plant with his chakra, but after hearing his words, none of that even mattered to her. For some time now, Sununade and Jeriah had been leaning against the wall outside of Kasha's room. They desperately wanted to go inside and give their daughter a big hug, but they were worried that doing so would only make Kasha feel worse. Although the parents were unaware of what the boy had done, they were relieved that Nar had been able to bring Kusha joy once more. All they needed to hear was the laughter coming from the room. After spending a considerable amount of time in Kosa's room, caring for the infant Mito, Mito finally left in time to hear Kosa laughing from inside her room. The elderly woman felt bad about telling Kosa the truth at such a young age. But it was necessary because Kusha was her clan's only hope, and the Uzumaki clan's future depended on it. In Narut and Kusha, the elderly Uzumaki could truly see herself and her late husband. Because Mito was born during a time of unrest and conflict, her personality was shaped by her surroundings. She was a cold and conceited kunoichi even as a young child and the more people she killed, the more she descended into evil. Mito did not see the end of the tunnel until Senu Hashiama entered her life. Mito found strength in the Shoai Hokag and her love for him strengthened her. She also noticed that Kasha and Narut shared a similar dynamic. Whensunade heard her children laughing, a tiny smile appeared on her face. The woman leaned against her husband's body and muttered, "Kusha Chan seems to be back to normal now." The female sonin was feeling very hopeful that Nar would be able to lift Kusha's spirits again because no one could be as encouraging as Nar. Nar really made her feel happy again. So secretly hoped that Nar and Kusha would be glad they weren't biological siblings since they would be in love in the future. Jeriah grinned at Kosa's lovely laugh. Jeriah was thrilled to see that his son had brought happiness back to his beloved little girl after the previous day as he had feared that she would be depressed for a long time. The father of three was well aware that Nar and Kusha shared the strongest bond in their family. It was simply amazing. Grinning, the white-haired Sanin put an arm around his wife's shoulder. The man approached the door and said, "Let's go inside." Mito andsunade both grinned and followed Jeriah's example. The atmosphere in Kasha's room had completely changed from the day before. There was laughter and joy in place of sorrow and suffering. The two young teenagers hadn't eaten lunch yet, and it was already late in the afternoon, but they hadn't even considered eating. They had forgotten all of the enjoyable games they used to play with one another, perhaps as a result of their hectic training schedule. Many board games from their childhood were scattered throughout Kusha's closet, and they were all covered in dust. Both Narut and Kusha were eager to finish every game, and within a few hours, they had devoured half of the collection. They were growing increasingly competitive, and Kusha kept a small record of each team's wins. Although Kusha was currently one victory behind Nar, she had hope because she was having some luck in the current game. Nar smirked as he folded his arms across his chest. The young man turned to face the girl and said, "Face it, Kushi Chan. You are not going to get this roll." As she tossed the two dice in her hand, Kasha returned the smirk. The girl threw the dice on the board and yelled, "Get ready to lose Narukun!" instead. As the dice rolled around, both Narut and Kusha kept their eyes fixed on them. When the double six result appeared, Kusha leapt to her feet and pumped her fist in the air. Shocked that Kusha had actually made the roll, Narut stared up at her with his jaw on the floor. Watching Kusha finish the game, Nar muttered, "I don't believe it." Kosa pointed a finger at Narut and stuck her tongue out at him. Ha! The girl exclaimed, "I told you that I would win." When Nar saw Kosa<unk>'s joyful expression, he returned the smile. He was relieved that the girl remained the joyful and contented person she always was. Even though he was worried that her smile would change after what she had learned the day before, Nar was a little upset with his parents and Bachan, but he could understand why they had told Kusha the truth. In order to prevent Kosa from feeling that she was no longer needed due to little Mito, they ought to have informed her before Mito was born if they knew they would eventually have to tell her. Grinning, Nar wrapped his arms around Kosa's waist. Kusha laughed harder than ever as the Senju started to savagely tickle her sides. Nar had always enjoyed watching Kusha laugh, so when he was much younger, he had taken to tickling Kusha. After so much laughing, Kasha pushed Naruto's arms away and collapsed against his chest, her eyes welling with tears. Narut encircled the gasping girl with his arms and gave her a firm embrace. The young man whispered close to Kosa<unk>s ear, "I love you, laugh, Kushi Chan. It is just so cute and it makes me really happy whenever I hear it." Although he blushed a little, Kasha was pleased with what he had said. The girl nestled closer to Naruto's chest and said, "Thank you, Nukun." As Kusha laid her head on Naruto's chest, she could hear his steady heartbeat. It had a gentle tempo that truly helped her feel calm and relaxed. It soothed her even in the darkest moments, and she vaguely remembered listening to it while half awake the night before. She had a suspicion that only Naruto's heartbeat could do that to her. A series of knocks on the door interrupted the pleasant moment between Nar and Kusha, and Nar immediately sensed Kusha becoming tense. The Senju wrapped his arms tightly around Kosa and sighed inwardly. He was aware that it would be better to just get it over with since they would eventually have to face their parents. For the past few hours, Narut had done everything he could to divert Kusha's thoughts from their parents. He hoped that the games they played would help Kusha relax so that they could face their parents with composure. With reluctance, Nar withdrew from the embrace, and as he did so, he felt Kosa hold on to him, making his heart tighten. Don't worry, Kushi Chan. The young man whispered as he put an arm around Kosa<unk>s waist and drew her in. After giving Kasha a gentle kiss on the top of his head, Narut concluded, "I'm here with you." Senju and Usuzuaki, who were young, looked up at the door and saw their parents smiling softly as they looked down at them. Sununade knelt down in front of her two kids and walked in front of Jeriah and Mido. "Good afternoon, Narutkun, Kasha Chan." Nar nodded and grinned at his mother. Hey Ka Chan," the young man said nonchalantly as he looked at his great-g grandandmother and parents. Nar could tell by the looks he was receiving that his parents were appreciative of him for lifting Kusha's spirits, and he smiled back at them politely. He valued Kusha above all else, and he would stop at nothing to improve her mood. With her hands still clasped around Naruto's, Kusha looked up at Sunsade with timidity. The girl muttered, "Kaan!" out of fear that her mother would no longer allow her to use that name. Tears filleds eyes as she realized why Kasha was acting so shy and she felt compelled to embrace her daughter. "Call me Ka Chan," the woman exclaimed, massaging Kusha<unk>s head. "You are my precious daughter, Kasha Chan. Don't ever call me anything but Ka Chan." As Kosa nodded into her mother's chest, tears were streaming down her cheeks. The girl exclaimed, "I love you, Kachchan." before putting her arms around her mother and giving her the tightest hug she could. Jeriah knelt down to wipe some tears from his daughter's eyes as he gave her a tender smile while she rested her head on her mother's shoulder. In an attempt to give his wife and daughter the sense of security they needed, the father put his arms around them. All he had to do was let Kusha know that he would always be there for her because that's what fathers must do without saying a word. In the warmth and tranquility of her parents' arms, Kasha felt safe and secure, and all of her anxiety vanished in an instant. When the little Uzumaki girl turned to face her parents and saw her Ba Chan grinning at her with the same smile that had always given Kasha a sense of security, the girl's eyes began to well up with tears once more. After letting go of her parents, Kusha ran in Mido<unk>'s direction. The girl put her head on her shoulder and wrapped her Baan around her waist. Ba Chan. Kasha cried out in relief. Midito put her own arms around Kusha and gave her a calming back rub. Stop crying, Cushi Chan. You are much more beautiful when you smile. Nar was thrilled that everything went so well as he watched Kusha reunite with her family. Their ties were as strong as those of any parent and child. Regardless of Kusha's lack of biological ties to her family, Nar was certain that if their family remained together, nothing would be too difficult to handle. Even though a lot of things had happened in the last few days and everything seemed sudden and surreal, Mido had to carry on the discussion from the day before and had filled Kasha in on everything that was going on. Knowing that these two days must have been the worst of Kusha's life, Mito tried to comfort the girl who was hugging her while wearing a dejected smile, she allowed Kusha to express her grief, understanding that she must console the girl for the time being. The other three waited on the sidelines, hoping that Kosa would soon stop crying so as not to disturb the two. Even though Narut really wanted to console Kosa, he fought the urge because he knew it was a crucial moment between Kusha and Mito. Before continuing, Mito waited for Kusha to stop crying and for her breathing to even out. Kushi Chan Bachchan is just running out of life force. I am already 108 years old. I am very grateful for my already long life. Slowly, Kusha glanced back up at her Baan and kept listening to her. After Baan passes away, "You will be the only known pure-blooded Uzumaki left, so you are going to have to carry the responsibility of the Uzumaki clan leader." After a few seconds of Kasha absorbing the details, Mito continued, "As the clan leader, you will be responsible of learning the entirety of the Uzumaki clan fujutsu, which your father would be very capable of helping." As Mido went on, Jeriah nodded in agreement. Midito looked into Kusha<unk>s eyes and said, "Do you understand Kushi Chan? You will also be responsible for producing an heir for the Uzumaki clan so that the clan wouldn't be extinct after your lifetime." After wiping away a few tears, Kusha nodded. "Hi, Baan." Midito sighed and nodded, then turned to face the Senju air. Together with his parents, Narut nodded in agreement with Midito<unk>s well-thoughtout plan. I will seal the Kaobi into Narut Chan in two weeks. In that time, I will need Jeriah andsunade to construct one of the larger rooms in the compound into a compacted area, meaning that it has to be protected by all means. Kasha<unk>s eyes were worried as he glanced at Mito. The girl said, "Boach." As Mito turned to face her, why did you choose Narukun as the new Ginuriki? Everyone in the room was taken aback by Kosa's question with the exception of Nar who was quite concerned about Kasha<unk>s reaction because he had anticipated that Kasha would ask it. Kusha would surely attempt to avoid being the Genturiki and Narut was aware that she loved him as much as he loved her. Kushi Chan Nar Chan is a full-blooded Senju with Moatan and have the potential to control Buju just like the showdown Hokag could. So, he is the most logical candidate. Mito professionally clarified. Kasha who was very concerned for Nar asked, "But would Narun be okay after the ceiling? From what I know about the ceiling process, Narutkun may be affected by the Buju heavily. Kushi Chan began the young man as he gazed into Kusha<unk>s eyes as Narut approached her and put a hand on her shoulder. I will be fine. You don't have to worry about me. Kasha<unk>s voice was full of worry and concern. And Nar felt pleased that she truly cared about him. But how can I not worry? You are getting the Kaobi Nokitsun sealed into you. You might be affected by it. You might get hurt, she said. Mito made the decision to voice her viewpoint. Kasha Chan, you don't have to worry about Narudo Chan and he has a very strong mind and determination. But why can't I be the Jun Churiki? As you mentioned, I am a full-blooded Uzumaki. So, I should have very strong life force and longevity. If I become the Jun Churiki, it would be a much less risk for me than Narutkun. Kosa said, looking back at her Ba Chan with a hint of desperation in her voice. Grasping Kasha<unk>s shoulders, the Senju air gave her a serious look. Narut spoke louder, saying, "Kushi Chan, I don't want you to be the Juniki. You have no idea how the Bju does to the hosts mind. I don't want you go through that kind of pain." The adult was a little takenback by Kasha's resolute statement. Then, do you think I want you to go through that kind of pain? I would rather take the pain myself than see you go through that for me. She values Nar as much as he does. Jeriah glanced at his wife and Mito and gestured for them to leave, interpreting the conversation as private between Narut and Kasha. Mito couldn't help but glance back at the quarreling teenagers as the three adults left the room using the Shanhen nojutsu. The elderly woman was delighted to see how much Kasha and Nar cared for one another. It appears that her wish that they would one day fall in love will come true. With a serious nod, Nar embraced Kusha. I know that you care about Mikushi Chan, but this is something I must do. Kasha watched with concern and shook her head. The girl questioned accusingly, "Can you really say that you are not doing this to protect me? I know that Baan had considered both of us as potential candidates. Did you volunteer so I wouldn't have to face the fate of a genturi?" The Senju air shook his head and cast aside glance. The young man's eyes softened as he explained. I'll admit that it is my primary concern, but I also see it as my responsibility to be the Genturiki, seeing that I share the same power as the Shoai Hokag. I've always wanted to be strong, and this is my chance to prove myself. Nar was slightly pushed away by the Uzumaki girl. With an angry glare, the girl exclaimed, "Stop making excuses." Kasha threw herself into Naruto's chest and gave him a tight hug around the waist, her eyes watering. I need you to know that I am strong too and you don't always have to be the one to protect me. She said you are very precious to me and I want to protect you. Grinning, Nar gave Kusha a tight hug around the waist. The young man said softly, leaning in to give Kusha a quick kiss on the forehead, "I know Kushi Chan, but no matter what, this is something I must do." as he held Kusha close to his body. Nar whispered passionately, "I<unk>ll admit that I am doing this because I really want to protect you. As your older brother, as your best friend, as a person who loves you more than anything, I want to be the one who carries this burden. Please, Kushi Chan, let me be the Genturiki." In Naruto<unk>'s arms, Kosa shuddered slightly and clenched her fist around him. "Why, you are such a baka!" the girl cried, soaking Naruto's shirt with tears. The heir of Senju nodded and laughed. Yep, I am your baka. Mito<unk>'s decision to seal the Kaobi into Narut was made two weeks ago, and everyone didn't like how quickly it happened. Mito was extremely thankful that the deity above would permit her final days to be so peaceful and tranquil because she had spent every moment of every day with her beloved family. About half a mile from the main house, Mito was inside the ceiling room, which was shielded by numerous layers of barriers and large-scale suppression seals. The suppression seals can probably handle chakra reserves at the Buju level and the barriers could essentially restrain chakra from any human. Mito was going to seal the Kaobi Nokitsun inside Narut on that day. It was Mito's last day alive because the ceiling would consume her last remaining life force. Mito had lived her life with dignity and respect and she had no regrets or fear. She can confidently state that she has never done anything for which she felt regret. For Mito, her life was full of joy and love. She had a wonderful son who lived life to the fullest despite passing away at a young age. He also had an angel of a granddaughter named Sununade and an incredibly cute grandson named Naki. She still loves her devoted husband to this day. Naturally, there were Narut and Kasha, her pride and joy. Midito smiled when he thought about the two tiny balls of energy. They both have the best qualities of their respective clans and are the only surviving members of the Senu and Uzumaki clans. Kusha is undoubtedly capable of carrying on the Uzumaki name because of their extraordinary skill in chakra manipulation and fujitsu. The Senju clan's collective belief known as the will of fire is inherited by Narudo and transmitted to the people of Konaha through clan teachings. The shinobi of Konaha no longer place the same importance on morality as they once did and the will of fire had dwindled to almost nothing over the years. But Narudo has the power to rekindle the fire. Along with inheriting Hashiama's Mokoud Jenke, Narudo has the potential to become a shinobi on par with her even better than the Shoddai Hokag. The two children appear to have a bright future, and Midito sincerely hopes that they will live a contented and peaceful life. Additionally, Midito hoped that the two would have a future together and perhaps start a family of their own with young children with red and blonde hair running around the Senju clan compound in Konaha. After completing the sealing process preparations, Mito wiped a drop of perspiration from her forehead and took a moment to catch her breath. She was extremely exhausted from the preparations which further suggests that her death is imminent because ordinarily she wouldn't have to exert herself over something so easy. After getting herself together, Midito asked the others to join her in the ceiling area before leaving the room. Outside the ceiling room, the two sonin and their kids were waiting. Since today was Uzuzu Makimito<unk>s last day of life, they were all experiencing anxiety and sadness. Although the deaths of others were nothing new to the two sonin who were both highly skilled shinobi, it was still quite difficult to watch a family member die. Jeriah spent the same amount of time trying to comfort his wife as who had spent most of the previous night in tears. Needed to be strong in front of her kids because they would need her to comfort them later. So, it was a good thing that she had voiced her grief in advance. The big stone door of the ceiling room creaked open, revealing Nidato to the group, stopping everyone's inner monologue. On her face, she was wearing a serene final expression. Okay, everything is ready. Naru Chan, you can come in. To avoid making Narut feel even more anxious than he already is, and Jeriah gave him a worried look without going overboard. Kusha let go of Naruto's hand she had been holding and kissed his cheek for luck and encouragement. After inhaling deeply, Nar approached Mito without glancing at anyone until he arrived at the interior of the ceiling room. Nar gazes at the numerous seals that are encrypted on the rooms enormous walls and ceiling. Nar is unable to comprehend even the smallest detail of any of the seals due to their extreme intricacy. As her great grandson approached her apprehensively, Midito said softly, "Naro Chan, please come here." Mido ran her fingers through Naruto's golden hair and embraced him. Naru Chan, I know that this might be overwhelming, and I am sorry that I have to place this burden on you, but let me tell you that I have great faith in you, and I know that you will be able to handle the fox. With a tighter embrace, Naro said, "Ba Chan, you don't need to be sorry. I am ready for this, and I will overcome whatever the Kaobi throws at me. You don't have to worry about me." A grin adorned Mido<unk>'s face as she responded, "Naruchan, I need to tell you some advice about being a Juriki. You are here to be the vessel of the nine tales. But before that, we must find love and fill the vessel with it. The only way to overcome the hatred that is given to a Jurriiki is to fill the Jurriiki heart with love. As soon as Midito finished speaking, Naruto's thoughts turned to Kosa. She will undoubtedly give him all the love he needs to fill his heart, and he knows that she will always be there for him. Midito led Narudo to the middle of the room where a number of seals were drawn on the floor and said, "Okay, Naru Chan, it is time." The seal layers kept overlapping one another until they formed five circles at the top, all of which lined up to form a five-point star. As she started to draw a seal on Naruto's stomach, Mido removed her shirt. Before she yelled, Mido began applying chakra to different areas of the seal. Midito exclaimed, "Hake no Fu and Shiki." As she turned to face her great grandson, the ink on Naruto's stomach turned into a single spiral symbol, and some of the encryption that had been written on, the ground began to move up his body. Each circle served as a conduit between Midos and Naruto's chakra networks. The Kaobi chakra would pass through Naruto's chakra network before being filtered down to the Hake Nofu and Shiki on his stomach. Narudo Chan, lay down on the floor. Put your head in each of your limbs on each circle. As Mido moved to the edge of the room to affix her body to some seals that were connected to Naruto's seal and depicted on the wall, Narudo dutifully obeyed her orders. To move the Kaobi from my body to yours with the least amount of danger, Narudo Chan, I have to move it gradually through these seals that link our chakra networks. The Kaobi's chakra will gradually move from mine to yours, and at the end, the collective of Kaobi's chakra will assemble at the eight triagram seal that I previously placed on you. As the seals he was lying on started to light up and encircle his body tightly, Narudo said, "Okay." After releasing chakra through her fingertips, Nidato placed them on the seals behind her, causing them to light up, detach from the wall, and encircle her body. Narudo Chan, get ready. This is it. Entity Jodo Nofu and Entity Transferral Seal. Mido gritted her teeth and ran through numerous seals. The Beiju's chakra had been trying to push its way out for the past few weeks and the pressure that had built up actually helped with the sealing process. As the Kyobi's chakra rushed out of any opening that Mido opened, Mito felt all of her chakra points burn as she led the Kaobi into Naruto's chakra network using her own chakra. The Kaobi's chakra was unlike anything Narudo had ever experienced before. It was evil personified. The Senju could sense the lingering hatred that came with the Beiju, and it made the air around him feel sharp and crisp. At first, Narudo felt nothing at all, but as soon as the Caobi's crimson chakra entered his chakra network, an intense shot of pain ran through his body, and he bit the insides of his mouth to numb the pain and flexed every muscle in his body to keep his resolve. "Ah!" The young man cried out in agony as he felt the chakra flow increase dramatically, 10 times faster than before. The chakra was so strong and powerful that it was pushing its way through his network of chakras. Naruto<unk>'s body might have failed if the hak nofu and shaki on his stomach had not been absorbing the collective of the Caobi's chakra. As she watched her great grandson with concern, Nidato kept her stance and said, "Stay strong, Narudo. You are doing great." The Senju flared his own chakra around his body and forced the Kaobi's chakra into the Hake Nofu and Shiki as quickly as he could. Naro snapped his eyes open and glared into nothingness. He channeled every ounce of power in his body and forced it to the surface. The whole room began to shake from the sheer power that Nar released and Midito could only watch as Nar began to glow a light blue. Nar knew that his Baan was giving her life to transfer the Kaobi to him and she was consoling him until the end. Despite all the chaos caused by the Senju's chakra, Nar could feel that the Kaobi's chakra no longer caused him any pain. rather it became much weaker and even calmer in a sense. The Senju's chakra was extremely powerful and it was affecting the entire room. The tiny fungus that was growing and expanding until it was the size of a fully grown tree began to spread and collapse in the cracks on the wall and it was happening on all corners of the room. Mito smirked at Mokudin<unk>s abilities and accelerated the ceiling procedure, saying, "Well done, Narut. You're suppressing the Kaobi." Quote. Midito was barely able to keep her chakra instilled stance as the powerful wave brushed past her. Narudo clenched his fists until his hands were bleeding and released a huge burst of chakra. The chakra wave blasted to all corners of the room and nearly tore the ground with its power like a maelstrom had exploded from the Senju<unk>s body. As a seal master himself, Jeriah was aware that the seal Mido prepared for the ceiling was extremely powerful. And as one of the legendary figures of the Uzumaki clan, Midito was undoubtedly the best fujutsu user in the world. But he was still very worried for his son. As a father, the man was deeply worried for his little boy. And as a man searching for a savior, he was worried for the world. The rest of the Senjuaki family was waiting outside the room, and the agonizing silence was causing them great anxiety. The man thought fervently, "Come on, Nar, I know you can do this." As the heir of the Senju clan, Narut was born to become one of the strongest shinobi in the world. But everything Jera had seen so far suggested that Narut might become one of the greatest shinobi ever to live. In addition to having the power of Mokudin, the boy will also be the genturi of the Kaobi. And if he could control the Buju with his chakra, he might very well become even more powerful than the Shoddai Hokag. It was like watching an empty canvas being filled in front of him. Please be okay, Naru Chan. Nade closed her eyes and held on to her grandfather's necklace as she sat next to her equally anxious husband, her hands persspiring a lot. She knew that Naruto's possession of Mokudin might help him suppress the Caobi, but they were still discussing the most powerful Buu ever, which made the mother go into a state of catatonia over her son. The girl had learned Fujenutsu from Mido herself, and she knew that no matter how good her Baan was, there was still a chance that they would both die. The mere thought of Narut dying made the girl go into a panic. If he died, there would be no purpose in life. Kusha was pacing the area while praying, and she was probably the most anxious of all the people waiting for the ceiling process to be finished. The young Senju was the one person Kusha loved the most, and if she lost him, she was terrified of what she might do. The three members of the family suddenly felt a tremendous amount of chakra pulsing from within the room. It was so strong that the ground around them started to tremble from its power. Everyone outside could sense that it was all Naruto's chakra and that not a single bit of the Kaobi's chakra was present. Narukun as she turned to face the direction of the room. Kusha exclaimed. Jeriah's eyes widened as they expanded to their area as cracks started to appear along the ground outside the room. Jump back quick. The man yelled as he and his wife and daughter leapt back from the crevices. Was watching the scene in disbelief, asking, "What in the world is going on?" Quote, "The Senju family saw that the forest that had just appeared in front of them would continue to grow, so they jumped onto one of the branches to avoid getting in the way of the growth. The door to the room was broken open by a wave of chakra, and the Senu family had a clear view of the interior of the room." The family watched as numerous trees began to sprout out of the ground cracks, and soon they were all covered by the giant shodda created by the 50-ft tall trees. The Senju air was still lying on the ground, and his body was blowing a bright aura of chakra, so potent and powerful that it was literally tearing the earth apart around him. Jera andsunade watched as the walls they had made sure to enhance with suppression seals were destroyed by the pressure created by their son. They noticed that Mido was looking very tired and that she was transferring some chakra into Narudo, but that was not what worried them the most. Back inside the room, Midito was pushing the Kaobi's chakra reminance into Narudo, and she was exhausted. The ceiling process was much more chaotic than she had anticipated, but it went very smoothly. And once Narudo started to suppress it with his own chakra, the Kaobi had no chance of escaping. Midito was shocked by Naruto's raw power, she wasn't sure that even Hashiama had that kind of strength when he was Naruto's age. They were extremely fortunate that little Mido was safe in her crib back in the main house because the forest Narut created was big enough to destroy everything around the remote room. Kasha and Jera hurried behind the female son and all of them gathered around the barely conscious Uzumaki leader placing Nidato's head on her lap as she ran her chosen no jutsu along her body, desperately trying to replenish the woman's chakra and Kusha probably doing the same. Tears streaming from her eyes as she pushed her chakra to the limit. eyes widened when she saw that Mido was finished and had released her seal and she sped as fast as she could to catch her Ba Chan. When the old woman opened her eyes, she saw her two adorable daughters crying. "It's okay, Sununade Chan and Kusha Chan," Mido said quietly. "That won't<unk>t help me at all." "Ba Chan," Sununade said, choking a little as she gazed down at her grandmother. and Narudo Chan. Nidato coughed a little and gestured feebly to Narudo who was still on the ground across from her. The Senju air was feeling very different from what he would have expected after expelling so much chakra. The burns and strains on his chakra points and network were all gone, and he could even feel that his chakra reserves were full compared to before. Nar didn't know what had gotten into him, but he didn't know that he could force out so much power. Mokudin was more powerful than he had ever imagined possible. When he activated his chakra, he felt as though he was completely suppressing the Kaobi within his own body. To the Beiju's credit, this was only a gradual process. But it was no small accomplishment. When Nar realized the condition Mido was in, his eyes widened and he leapt to his feet, his attention primarily on the frail Meo lying on the ground, with his family staring at him with a mixture of relief and mild shock. Ba Chan. As he rushed to his family, the Senju exclaimed, "Are you okay?" As he gazed at his Ba Chan with tears in his eyes, Narudo asked, trying to repress the grief he was experiencing over the loss of his beloved great grandmother. As she coughed, the elderly woman whispered, "Why you did great Narudo Chan? I am so proud of you," Mito gave her great grandson a feeble smile. After wiping away a few tears, Kusha grasped Mito<unk>'s hand and said, "Please rest, Ba Chan, you nay." Jaraya looked at his daughter sorrowfully and interrupted, "Kusha, let Ba Chan talk. These are her last words." Kusha couldn't contain her tears as her father spoke. The woman said proudly, "Thank you, Jeriah Chan. You really are a blessing for the whole family." Jeriah was a little takenback. If you were not there for Sununade Chan when she needed you, she would not have become the loving mother I see today. For that I deeply thank you, Midito said, grinning up at Jeriah. With a bow, Jeriah said, "Thank you, Ba Chan. I am so happy for you, Sunsade Chan. You have the family that you yearned for since you were a child." Midito cupeds face with her hand and whispered as if breathless, "I am so happy that my darling little girl is happy and will continue to be happy until the end." Midito laughed and gave Sununade a gentle nose flick. You were always mine and Hashiama's favorite. Sununade put her hand over Midos and wept more, saying, "I love you so much, Ba Chan." When the Uzumaki leader finally turned to face Narudo and Kusha, she said, "Narudo Chan, Kosa Chan, thank you for making my last few years so happy. You two really were the highlights of my life." Nidato muttered with a soft laugh. I know that the Senu and Uzumaki clans will be safe in both your hands. Just promise me something. Kusha and Naruto's hearts tightened as they felt their Baan's weakness. Both Kosa and Nar nodded at once and Kusha choked out, "Anything, Ba Chan." The woman said, "Nothing is more important than family. Your love for each other will be the key for all your future challenges." In a softer voice than before, and Mito gave the two young teenagers a bright smile and a small wink. Promise me that both of you will be happy together. Both of them nodded and Narudo put an arm around Kusha<unk>s waist. We promise Ba Chan. Narudo said as Kusha was sobbing too much to talk. As her eyes began to close, Mido whispered, "Goodbye. I love you all." After 108 years of life, Uzumaki Mido passed on to the next world, finally being able to join her beloved Senu Hashiama in the glorious peace of heaven. With her final breath, Midito left her family with a legacy that no one could have replaced. A sincere affection that will inspire the generations to come. Two months have passed since Uzumaki Mido passed away, but her memory is still present in her family members recent recollections. Her granddaughter and grandson-in-law will always remember the elderly woman as one of the most loving and wise women they have ever encountered. Was delighted that the Uzumaki family led a contented and tranquil life, and she loved Mito as if she were her own mother. The loss of their beloved Ba Chan caused Narudo and Kusha to become extremely depressed because they had never lost anyone close to them. However, over time, the two teenagers recovered to their normal selves. The fact that Mido appeared content and at peace as she passed away gave Narudo and Kusha hope that she had moved on to a better place and had reconnected with their Shoai. Narudo had been training primarily on his Mokudin ability ever since the ceiling because he would need it if the Kaobi ever attempted to escape the seal. He knew that his chakra could suppress the Kaobi, but in order to avoid having to rely on luck in the future, he needed to learn how to use the unique power he shared with his Gigi whenever he wanted. Mido had left Narudo a scroll that contained all of the Moku jutsu scrolls that the shoddai Hokag had left her. The collection was impressive, even though the Shoddai possessed far more jutsu than was listed. All of the basic and intermediate jutsu had been practiced by Narudo, who had already mastered some of them. The sounds of combat filled the vast training field as if it were a typical day on the tiny island of Usuzu Shioaker. The chakra levels in the area were sharply rising, and there were noises of tearing grounds and clashing metal. The surrounding trees were starting to split as their leaves fell from the oppressive atmosphere, and the air was crisp and dense from the giant powers clashing. "That's it, Narunade cried as she flinched away from her son's blow. Keep it up." Ignoring her mother's advice, Narut struck the ground with his fist, sending a small earthquake rippling through the region. The terrain itself was changing according to the will of the two fighting ninjas. As the ground split and overlapped, the Senuir pulled his right hand back while focusing his chakra on it and flashing through some hand signs. As he slashed his hand upward in the direction of his mother, the young man exclaimed, "Futon, Kazakiri no jutsu." An invisible blade of wind blasted towards Sununade from his arm. In order to avoid the attack, Sunade twisted her body in midair and swiftly returned to the ground. She pulled multiple shuriken from her pouch and hurled them at Narut at high speeds, reducing their distance by using the time Nar needed to avoid her attack. In an attempt to confuse the nerves inside Naruto's body, Sununade directed some Raiden chakra in her fingers and tapped him on the shoulder. Nar immediately used a concentrated chakra burst through his feet to leap away after realizing the jutsu his mother was going to use on him. Nar glanced down at his mother while in the air and made a few hand signals. Mokudin sashiki no jutsu the senju air cried extending his hand. In order to enhance their cutting ability, Narudo coated his arm with futon chakra and launched multiple wooden spikes in the direction of his opponent. With a slightly smile, Sununade leapt to meet the oncoming assault, and she definitely dodged every spike. She approached her son in midair while wielding a canai, and she engaged his nodi with her weapon. Even though both weapons were powered by a lot of chakra, raw strength was still greater than Naruto's, and she pushed him away. They landed quite a distance apart on the ground. With an adrenaline rush, the mother and son locked eyes, and then they both sped in the direction of one another once more.ade Sununade and her son were fighting like flashes of shadow in the middle of the vast field and she was gradually pushing him away. The sonin was forced to acknowledge that Naruto's abilities were far beyond his capabilities. An 11-year-old boy shouldn't be able to engage in hours long combat with a Kunoichi of her caliber. Sununade found it funny that although she had once considered Orochimaru to be talented, the snake man was merely a menial brat in comparison to her son. Perhaps the real strength of a Senju clan member was Naruto's power, which he had only restored after it had been lost to time. Sununade firmly believed that the Shoai and Nadim were among the most gifted shinobi in history, and she would venture that Narudo was comparable to them. Narudo directed some of his chakra into his blade, causing it to glow a pale blue. Getsaunade swiftly leapt back with a chakra burst after spotting what Narudo was going to do. Tensho exclaimed the Senju, a thick crimson blade of chakra that blasted from the nodi<unk>'s tip and charged with tremendous destructive power in the direction of his mother. Sununade raised her leg and leapt into the air, the Kunoichi exclaimed, "Sudenyaku!" as she struck her heel against the rushing burst of chakra, causing a huge explosion to reverberate throughout the space. Looking at the demolished training ground from a distance, a worried Kusha asked, "2 Chan, should we stop the fight now?" Ka Chan and Nukun had been fighting for an hour already. After Narut completed his two-year training with his parents, his mother wanted to test his strength by fighting him herself. Both Jera and Kusha were eager to witness their battle. So, they used some cage bunch to tend to little Midoch while they watched from the sidelines. It would be interesting to watch how their jutsu clashed because Narudo had never really fought his mother before. Jeriah crossed his arms and smiled, saying, "It's fine, Kusha Chan. They are strong enough to take this. Jeriah took great pride in his son's extraordinary power. He was wondering whether Narudo could match the exceptionally gifted Uchiah air that he had heard about back in Konaha. Given what he had done to his own clan a year prior, it was not surprising that Uchiha Itachi had grown to be one of the most admired missing nin in the elemental nations. It was difficult to believe that the clan's pride and joy would be the one to murder most of them, with the only survivor being the younger heir, Uchiha Sasake, a boy who was three years younger than Narudo and Kasha. Both Sanin were completely shocked to learn about the Uchiah massacre from a letter that Kakashi sent to them. They were unsure of what to think when the Sandame Hokag sent them a thorough account of what actually transpired a few days after Kakashi's initial letter. Neither Jeriah norsunade were naive as shinobi of that caliber, but they sympathized deeply with Itachi. The two sonin had the highest regard for the young man who was truly exceptional. Itachi was undoubtedly one of the greatest ninja Konaha had ever produced, and it was the sad fate of the shinobi to die for a secret. After reading the letter, Jeriah immediately burned it because he knew that revealing a secret of that magnitude could result in complete chaos. The Senju family will soon have to leave their remote home because the Sandame informed Jera in the letter that he would be the person Itachi would report to in the event of an emergency. The Tusan's initial cover mission was supposed to last 4 years, but they have already extended it twice to 11 years. So, it was time for them all, or at least some of them, to go back to the village. Jera was instructed by the Sandame to reestablish his spy network and keep an eye on Orochimaru and an organization called Akatsuki's activities. It was within this organization that Uchiah Itachi was assigned. According to Jeriah's sensei, the majority of the group consisted of S-rank Missing Nin, which was extremely frightening. A group of people who were all on the same level as him and his spouse. Although Konaha was unaware of the Akatsuki's goals, they were aware that they had been murdering men on the bingo books in order to raise money, which could only indicate that a significant campaign was about to be launched. Jeriah, the strongest of the legendary sonin of Konaha, was the only spy who could keep an eye on a group of Akatsuki's size. While her father was lost in thought, Kusha continued to watch her mother and brother engage in combat, looking back at the battlefield. Over the past few weeks, she and Narudo have become so close that they no longer even behave like siblings. Their parents were frequently taken aback by the two teenagers love for one another. At times, it appeared as though they were more than just best friends. The parents were still taken aback when Narudo would hold Kusha<unk>s hand all the time while hugging and kissing her good night, even though the kisses were only on her cheeks. The Uzuaki girl had been finding Nar more and more attractive, but she wasn't sure how she felt about him. Perhaps this was because she was starting puberty. Every time Narut tells Kusha he loves her, she gets a warm feeling in her heart and blushes close to him when he kisses or hugs her. Kusha wanted to react to her emotions, but she was unsure of how to do it. Narudo leapt from his position and landed on a large tree branch. When he looked down, he saw a huge crater created by his mothers and his own conflicting powers. The young man was doing his best to sense his mother's location because he knew that her taijutsu was far more powerful than his own and that he had to avoid direct confrontations with her. His mother was right beneath him when the tree he was standing on began to shake and fall over, causing the Senju<unk>s eyes to widen. Sununade focused her chakra in her fist as she watched her son plummet from the tree. The woman yelled, "Be more alert, Nar." As she punched the young man with chakra, unable to control his movements, Nar gritted his teeth as he fell toward his mother's attack. However, he smirked as soon as he was within range of it.ade couldn't detect any differences at all. So, she was shocked to see her punch destroy a wooden clone of her son. The ground around his mother trembled and exploded as the real Narut yelled. Mokudin Shichiro Nojutsu from behind her. Sununade was confined in a cage by pillars of wood that formed a perfect square, and the cage was raised into the air by massive tree roots that protruded from the ground. Narudo tried his best to use his chakra to strengthen the pillars of the cage, which was at least 50 ft in the air. The Senju drew water particles from the air around him and flashed through a series of hand signs. Sweden Dakufu no jutsu. Narudo had also been able to extract water from his surroundings since he had used his mukudin ability, which was a very helpful tool in battle. In a matter of seconds, a miniature torrent of water encircled Narudo as the water gathered around him and started to spin around his body. With blinding speed, he pushed his hands forward and blasted towards his cage like a tidal wave of destruction. The incoming water jutsu caused eyes to widen, and she responded to it right away. After gathering chakra in her arms and legs, the sonin spun around, destroying the cage around her and leaping out of the way. Glancing down, she saw the water destroying the rest of the cage and portions of the roots that held it up. Sununade used a powerful kick to break through to the ground because the jutsu had a short duration and she had nowhere to land. It was time to break up the fight because both Senju were growing weary. With a chakra enhanced fist, Sununade sped towards her son, kicking off the ground to increase her speed. Anything in her path could be destroyed by the powerful chakra in her fist, which was visible to the unaded eye. Knowing that his punches would not be sufficient, Narudo chose to focus on something else. As he glared at his mother's vicious attack, after channeling chakra to his palm, the Senju air started to compress and form it into a miniature typhoon. Its rushing chakra was sufficient to move the surrounding air around it, causing a gust to blow around Naruto's body. Take this, yelled as she punched. Narudo retorted Renong as he launched his jutsu into his mother's assault. The clashing attacks burst into a wave that tore apart everything in its path, resembling a maelstrom of destruction. As neither jutsu persisted in pushing its way into the other, the earth was torn apart and blown to pieces. 10 more seconds passed before the center of the clashing point gave in, the ground trembling under the pressure of the two mantra chakra. Both Narut and Sununade were flung backwards at high speeds by a second more potent explosion, and they had to exert all of their strength to avoid colliding with trees. Despite the pain she was experiencing throughout her body, Sununade was smiling as she got to her feet. She took pride in the fact that her son was already so strong at such a young age and that he was far more developed than she had been at his age. When she felt her husband land beside her, the woman grinned and gazed up at him with joy. As they grinned at one another and exchanged silent messages, Jeriah put his arms around his wife to support her while she stood. After landing beside Narut, Kusha put his head on her lap right away. Narukun, the girl cried as she infused Naruto's body with healing chakra. Are you all right? Despite his widespread pain, Nar opened his eyes and grinned at Kusha. I'm fine, Kushi Chan. Just a bit achy all over. The girl from Uzuaki smiled, shook her head, and giggled. You are such a baka. Both Jera andsunade landed smiling beside their kids. The latter had recovered from the majority of her injuries and was feeling much better. Sununade patted her son's head while kneeling beside him. You did good, Nar Chan. You are stronger than most ninja in Konaha already. Nar nodded and smiled back at his devoted mother. Thanks, Ka Chan. Jeriah grinned, crossed his arms, and nodded. The man looked around at some of the trees and roots Narudo had made with his chakra and remarked, "Yep, your skills have increased a lot since you started training with your Mokudin, and you are getting quite proficient at using it." The good-hearted father teasingly said, "Sooner or later, you will be just as strong as me." Kusha continued to heal Nar as quickly as she could while rolling her eyes at her father. "Antren<unk>t you tired of destroying training fields, Narukun, you the one who would eventually fix it later." Narudo looked up at Kusha and laughed. The young man hoped Kusha would prepare him some miso ramen later, so he muttered, "I<unk>ll do it after dinner." Jera was quietly allowing the chili knight air to expel his worries as he leaned against the balcony railing of his room. When he had to travel around the world once more to rebuild his network, the man was struggling to decide what to do. It would take some time to rearrange everything because his spies had been hiding the entire time he was in isolation. Jeriah had been networking his entire life and had the strength to repel an army on his own. So, the work itself wasn't difficult at all. However, he didn't want to leave his family. Once he begins his mission, Sununade and Kasha will have to return to the village, which is probably going to become the center of Konaha's medical center. Although Jeriah will miss them more than anything, he was not concerned for his little girl because Kusha had developed into a strong, capable young woman and they would be safe with her mother. Jeriah didn't want to miss the girl's first words or steps, but he had no other option. Then there was little Mido, who had just turned one. Jeriah was startled out of his revery when a gentle set of arms wrapped around his waist. Are you all right, Jeriah? You've been spacing out a lot lately. This time, the son turned to face his lovely wife. The man whispered, "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about my mission." put her head on her husband's chest, understanding exactly what he was talking about. The woman closed her eyes to calm herself and said, "I'm sorry you have to go, but it is our obligation to the village as Shinobi." Jeriah put his arms around his wife and nodded. I know, but I will miss so many things with Mitochan. That is something I will regret for the rest of my life. The idea of Jera not being able to see Mito speak for the first time and not being able to embrace her after her first steps made heart tighten. She felt somewhat irate at her sensei for putting Jeriah on a long-term mission immediately following Midito's birth. She understood that it was crucial, but that didn't mean she had to agree with it. Sununade was aware that Jera, like herself, had grown accustomed to living in seclusion and tranquility on the island and had no desire to return to the village way of life. Although the two sonin were devoted to one another and content with their island family, it was regrettable that Orochimaru and some missing nin would interrupt their idyllic existence. Sununade wished that the world would be a better place if the group of outlaws simply perished in a ditch somewhere. After a few minutes, Jeriah broke the cozy silence. The man drew away from the hug and said gravely, "Hey Chan, I have a suggestion." Surprised by her husband's tense tone, Sununade gave him a serious look in return. What is it, honey? The white-haired man gazed into Sununade's eyes while gently massaging her arms. Can I bring Nar with me on the mission? The mother of three was taken aback by the inquiry because she had not anticipated any suggestion of that kind. Sununade had intended to bring Narut back to Konaha so that he could become a tunin. Since he was already powerful and only required experience, becoming a tunin would benefit him. A nearly retaliated against Jeriah for the absurd notion, but she refrained after realizing that Narut would benefit greatly from traveling with his father. "Why, you mean you want to introduce Narudo to your spy network?" asked after giving it some additional thought. Jeriah gave a nod. The man sighed honestly and said, "Yeah, I am not getting any younger and I will need an heir to my network and there is no better candidate than Nar." Jeriah said, recalling all the people he had previously met. If one were to ask me, "Where did I learn the most in my life, it would be the many places I visited during my travels, it was truly enlightening. I know Narudo will learn just as much." Nodded as she glanced up at her husband. I will definitely miss Naro a lot, but I know that traveling with you will give him the experience he needs, so I will not disagree with that is what you want. The woman softly replied, "The one person that will truly hurt because of this is Kusha. I don't even know how she will react to Nar being out of her life for a few years." Jariah sighed and nodded as he reflected on the moment he saws again after 5 years. He muttered, "I know. It shocks me sometimes seeing how close those two are, but their feelings for each other will grow stronger if they spend some time apart. And I say that with experience." The mother of three asked, "When are we going to leave?" I'm going to tell Narudo and Kusha now. The man with white hair closed his eyes and leaned back against the railing. In one week, that is the most I can push it. Sitting back on the couch, Narut grinned at what he saw. Kusha was holding little Mido in her arms while playing with the infant by making goofy faces at her. Narudo and Kusha had been playing with Mido every night since her birth, so it was not an unusual sight. The young girl was simply adorable, and Narut and Kasha<unk>s favorite pastime was watching her reactions to the various objects in front of her. The Senu abruptly revealed his face to the infant after hiding it behind Kusha's shoulder. "Mido Chan," the young man cried, waving his hand in the air before him. Narudo was pleased to pick up little Mido from Kusha as she giggled and extended her small arms to grasp her older brother. The infant appeared extremely cozy and comfortable in a pink full body baby suit. The girl was tickled a little as Narudo brought Midito to his face in blue and rubbed his nose around her stomach. Kusha was grinning as she sat next to Narudo. She enjoyed hearing her younger sister laugh. As she scooted closer to her family, the girl whispered, "You two are so cute." Holding Mido, Narudo lowered her until her feet were flat on the ground, giving the impression that she was standing independently. He turned Mido around and turned to face Kusha, grinning back at her. Naruto pulled Midito back and held her to his chest, chirping in a childlike voice, "Look." Oni Chan says, "We are cute, but she is the cutest girl ever, isn't she?" At Naruto's words, Kusha grinned broadly and extended her hand to take his. The girl put her head on his shoulder and leaned closer to him, saying, "Thanks." Mido began to crawl from her brother's lap to her sister when she noticed her on his shoulder. The babe patted Kasha on the lap and rambled, "Ba ba ba!" After giving the adorable infant a smile, Kusha took Midito off of her lap and put her on her own. Kusha kissed the top of Mido's head and prodded her cheeks with her fingers. She truly has fallen in love with the little bundle of happiness and wants to show her love to the unborn child. Kusha's affection was met with a smile from Narudo, who also lifted her onto his lap. The young man put his arms around Kusha's waist and Mitochan whispering close to Kusha's ear, "You really are the cutest Cushi Chan." With a reciprocal smile, Kusha put her head in Naruto<unk>'s neck crook. The girl closed her eyes and whispered, "I love you, Narukun." The Senju air lowered his head and gave Kusha a cheek kiss. "I love you, too." Sununade and Jera were grinning sorrowfully as they peered through the doors crack. Although they were pleased to see Narut and Kusha showing such affection, they dreaded the prospect of informing them that they would be apart for a few years. With a forced smile, Jeriah knocked lightly on the door. Hey, can we come in? Kusha and Narut turned to face their parents and grinned. Hey, Tu Chan. Ka Chan exclaimed Kusha as she and Midochan got up and approached them. I thought you guys were asleep. Guided both of her daughters to the couch while holding Kosa<unk>s hand. The mother sat down on the couch and said, "We were about to, but there is something we need to talk about." Leaning against the wall beside Narugo, Jeriah had a laid-back expression on his face. When their parents started talking, Kusha and Naro focused entirely on them, and the things they heard made them increasingly anxious. Narut was about to see where the conversation was going after learning about the group of S-ranked missing nin and the behavior of Orochimaru, his parents' teammate. Jeriah went on to say that they all had to leave the island because the Hokag had given him a mission. Kusha was glad that she would be able to see what Konaha was like at last, but she was also understandably shocked and sad about having to leave her home. She could not wait to see Konaha because in the opinion of her parents and Ba Chan, it was supposed to be very serene and beautiful. When Kasha clapped her hands together, she exclaimed, "You mean we finally get to go back to Konaha. I've been waiting to see the village for a long time." patted her daughter's head and gave her a small smile. The woman muttered, "There is only one thing." As she turned to face her husband, believing he ought to be the one to inform them. When Narudo and Kosa noticed their mother's anguish, they also checked on their father. Jeriah sighed as he returned his children's gaze. The mission I've been assigned to will take at least 3 years. Meaning that you all will be in the village without me for the time. As Naruto's eyes grew wide, Kusha immediately got to his feet with a hint of fear in her voice. The girl exclaimed, "What do you mean Tu Chan? And Nar will come with me." As everyone struggled to understand the father's words, the room fell silent and Kusha's eyes began to well up with tears. Although she was thrilled to be able to live in her own house with her family at last, the idea of her father and Narudo being away from her broke her heart. The Uzumaki Aerys was gradually coming to terms with the truth, but she was struggling to accept it. Kusha had never spent more than a few hours apart from Narudo in her entire life, and she wouldn't know how she would cope with losing her most cherished companion for 3 years. For the next few minutes, Narudo stayed still as his mind searched frantically for reasons to avoid abandoning his family after 3 years. However, he discovered that every single one of his justifications was self-s serving and would violate his own values of defending his village and his family. The young man's first thought was that he would be separated from Kusha for 3 years, and that in and of itself raised a warning sign. Naruto's initial reaction to being separated from Kusha was unacceptable, but his rational side intervened and informed him that as a shinobi, it was his responsibility to strengthen himself so that he could serve his village. As a result, Narudo found himself in a difficult situation. Jeriah put a hand on his son's shoulders and did his best to ignore the agonized expressions on his children's faces. The father calmly explained, <unk>Naro, traveling with me will make you much stronger than you are now. Not just physically, but mentally as well. As a shinobi in your position, experience may be even more important than actual strength, and you will learn a lot through this trip. Suan took Mido in her arms and nodded. The woman closed her eyes and said, "Yes, Narut, this is something you need to do. I will miss you greatly, but this will help you a lot in the future, and 3 years is not really that long." With no emotion on his face, Narut opened his eyes and gazed up at his parents. The young man asked, "Why am I the only one going with two Chan? What about Kushi Chan?" Which caused the Uzumaki girl to turn to face him while crying? Sununade gave a nod. It is because Kusha will finish her own training with me back in Konaha. At the village, I can fully teach her medical njutsu with the most advanced equipment and material, and she and I will be the core of the Konaha medical system. Sanin, who had white hair, gazed down at his son. I know that it is very hard for the two of you to spend three years without each other. But both of you must know that some things will never go as planned, and it is your responsibility as Konahashbi to follow through with this. Ignoring everyone else in the room, Narut approached Kusha and gave him a silent nod. Kusha<unk>s eyes widened as Narut said, "I know Tu Chan. I will do it." Without saying anything more, Narut took Kusha<unk>s hand and using a shunchen nojutsu, they both vanished from the room. Sununade closed her eyes and Jeriah sighed. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Little Mido started crying. Soon, the child's cries filled the room, making the parents inside feel even more hopeless. Six days have passed since Jeriah informed Narudo and Kusha of their future plans, and the two teenagers have been ignoring the subject of their separation ever since. Narudo and Kusha made a silent agreement to be happy and content during their final week together. Narudo had completely halted his training and was spending every moment of the day with Kusha for the first time in his life. Playing games they never had the opportunity to learn as children was enjoyable, but the memory of being apart for 3 years always seems to dampen their spirits. Even though they both did their best to ignore the melancholy thoughts, they knew they had to talk about it because it was their last night together for the foreseeable future. Uzzu Maki and the Senju were in Naruto's room preparing for sleep. To avoid having to be reminded of the departure each time they looked up, they shoved all of the packed luggage outside the room. Narut wanted to spend the night with Kusha because he was going to miss his next opportunity and it would be the only time he had left. The teenagers had been playing all day and were exhausted by midnight, but neither of them wanted to go to sleep. As they lay quietly on the bed, Narut put his arms around Kusha's waist and kept her close. His mind was racing with ideas of despair and desperation, and his heart was clenching painfully. It was that simple. He didn't want to be parted from Kusha. If given the chance, Narut would put his love for Kusha ahead of his duty to Konaha because he loved her more than anything else in the world. To her great surprise, Narut used his love's full name when he said, "I love you, Senuaki Kusha." In order to allow Kusha to turn toward him, the Senju moved away from his spot on the bed. Never forget that. No matter where I am or how long has it been since I last saw you, I will love you more than anything." Kusha<unk>s eyes began to well up with tears because she could no longer contain them. The girl reached up and touched Naruto's cheek, whispering, "I know. I love you too more than anything. I know we have been avoiding this topic all week, but I must tell you now that you are more important to me than anything. Please don't think that I am choosing my power over you. I am only agreeing to this mission because of my responsibility as the Senju air. Nar murmured as he rested his forehead his own. I promise you after these three years I will never leave you. After shedding a few tears, Kasha put her arms around Naruto's neck. The girl gently pulled Naruto's face closer to her own and choked out. I'm not thinking any of that. I know that you have your obligations and responsibilities and I will never be mad at you because you are choosing to face them. Just know that I will be waiting for you at home. Narudo rubbed his face against Kusha's and planted a kiss on her cheek. That is all I need. The Senju pulled two bracelets out of his pocket, each of which looked to be made of white gold with a diamond at least eight carats in the center. Narudo put one of the bracelets on Kusha's wrist and one on his own. The Uzu Maki girl grinned down at the present after wiping away her tears with her other arm. It's beautiful, Narukun. I love it. Grinning, the Senju wrapped his finger around Kusha's. While channeling some chakra to his bracelet, the young man remarked, "I made these bracelets as fast as I could. There is a fu and jutsu shiki within them." When Kusha noticed that both of the diamonds on both bracelets glowed a gentle white light, her eyes widened. "This is a jutsu I have been working on. It is not finished yet, but I can use it for this purpose." When Kasha gazed into Naruto's eyes, she saw only love and affection. Narukun holding their hands together above their faces. Narut grinned. The encryption on each of the bracelets create a space-time connection with each other. No matter where we are, whenever one of us channel chakra into the bracelet, both diamonds will light up at the same time. Express the Senu air with a grin on his face. We can't see each other when we are apart, but this bracelet will be a connection between us. Kusha was crying again, but this time the tears were brought on by the overwhelming love and affection she was experiencing at the time, not by sadness. The girl buried her face in Naruto's chest and choked out, "Thank you, Narukun." Kusha exclaimed, "I love you so much." before sobbing uncontrollably. Nar put his arms around Kosa and held her as tightly as he could, letting out a single tear. He kissed her from forehead to cheeks, running his hand through her hair. Opening her eyes, Kusha made contact with Naruto's own azure eyes. As their faces got closer and closer to one another, neither teen halted their motion. Before gently pressing his lips to Kusha's, Narud whispered, "I love you, Kusha." Their lip shapes were like two pieces of a puzzle, perfectly complimenting one another. After touching Kusha's neck and jawline, Naruto's hand moved up to the back of her head. leaning closer and keeping Kusha's head close to his own, Narut increased the pressure of their first kiss because he wanted to enjoy it as much as possible. As soon as Naruto's lips touched Kusha's, her mind began to systematically shut down. All she could think about was how wonderful their first kiss had been. The lips of Narut were soft and charming, and they perfectly encircled her own. To give the kiss more depth, Kusha's hands moved from Naruto's chest to the small of his back and drew him in closer. The two diamonds in Kusha's bracelet glowed brightly when she directed some chakra into it. Her lips are so soft as she tastes so sweet. Nar thought to himself in a quiet voice as he carried out a long sock task. The young couple kissed for a few more minutes before they were too exhausted to continue. Naruto's eyes never left Kusha's, and they would always remember the pictures of each other's swollen lips and flushed cheeks. They were more certain than ever that they were destined to be together. Their bond was stronger than they had ever experienced. It seemed as though they had attained a new degree of intimacy. With eight hours left to spend together, Nar drew Kusha close to him and put his arms around her tightly, intending to stay by her side the entire time. Nar knew that he would spend the rest of his life with Kusha, that he loved her unconditionally, and that he would die before he could stop loving her. Senju Uuzuaki Kusha is his property. She was his soulmate, and no one else will ever have her love her body. With her feelings for Narut more intense than ever, Kusha wanted to relish the moment as she nestled her head in the crook of his neck and cuddled up to him. The girl made sure that she would always love Narudo more, even though she was well aware that their lives would change once they left the island. Senju Narudo was hers regardless of who or what they encountered in the elemental nations, and she will never allow anyone to take him away from her because she loved him too much. In the total warmth of Naruto's embrace, Kusha was about to nod off when she heard him say, "I love you so much." For the next three years, every member of the family would pay their final respects to Uzzuakimito<unk>s grave on the day that the entire Senju had been dreading. Nar had built an epic brutal ground for his beloved Ba Chan, and Sununade had chosen to bury Mido in the middle of the island. There was only one road that connected the compound and the grave, and it was situated in the center of a clearing surrounded by tall, healthy trees. The gravestone was supported by imposing timber pillars, and behind them stood a 20-foot wooden statue of Senju Hashiama and Uzuaki Mido holding hands. Narudo and Kusha were left alone to complete their prayers after sununade and Jera had completed their respects and were making their way back to the island's main entrance. Before glancing straight at her Ba Chan<unk>s grave, Kusha bowed before it one final time. With a smile on her face, Kusha thought, "This is goodbye for at least 3 years, Ba Chan. I will miss you a lot, but I assure you that we will all be back to visit you soon." The girl chose to leave Nar alone and go to the front gate with her parents after noticing that he was still praying. With his forehead resting on the ground, Nar silently prayed for Gigi and his Ba Chan. The Senju heir was anxious about his mission with his father, but he hadn't told anyone. Meeting other people will be unfamiliar to him because he has spent his entire life alone on the island of Usuzu and has only ever read about people's behavior in books. Since Narut had always been a trustworthy individual and had always been fairly confident in his abilities, the idea of encountering so many dishonest people while traveling also made him feel threatened. Please lead me, Ba Chan and Gigi. I want to make you proud of me. So no matter what happens, I will finish this mission and return home stronger and wiser. Before vanishing with a shunchen nojutsu, Narudo got to his feet and gave the tombstone one final smile. When Narut reached the main gate, he saw his family smiling broadly as they waited for him. Their presence alone was enough to calm Nar. In an attempt to spend a few more moments with his daughter before he had to leave for 3 years, Jeriah was holding Nidochan in his arms with tenderness. Sununade approached her oldest son and smiled at him, knowing that although she would miss him terribly, the training trip with his father would be wonderful for him. Sununade grinned and muttered, "Naro Chan as she looked across the room at Narudo, who was now about her height. I am so proud of you, my son." With a smile, the Senjuir put his arms around his mother and gave her a hug. Narudo, sounding more like a boy his own age, said, "Thank you, Ka Chan. I will miss you a lot." patted Naruto<unk>'s head and gave him a hug in return. As she withdrew from the embrace, the loving mother muttered, "I will miss you too, Narudo Chan." After considering this for the entire week, Sununade had persuaded herself that Narudo was a good choice. But before you leave, Ka Chan have a present for you. She was prepared to believe that Nar, a legitimate heir to the Senju clan, would one day succeed him as Hokag. As her mother removed her necklace and put it around Naruto's neck, he was perplexed. The green crystal in the jewelry was stunning, unlike anything he had ever seen in a book, and he sensed a strong energy pulsing through it. Since his mother wore the necklace everyday, Nar had seen it a lot before, but he had never given it much thought. He was pleasantly surprised to find that it fit him well. Naruto's expression made Sununade smile. This is the necklace the Shoai Hokag left for me. It carries his will as a shinobi and the integrity of the Senju clan, so you are the one who should inherit it. Naruto's eyes widened as she spoke. Jeriah and Kusha were also takenback by Sununade<unk>'s gift to Nar, but they were ultimately pleased with it. Many people had worn the necklace before you, and all of them wanted to become Hokag. It is unfortunate that they have all failed, but I have good faith that you will be successful, my son. It was a sign of relief and letting go, and Jeriah was particularly happy that Sununade was able to move past her past trauma and find her new faith in Narudo. Narudo gave his mother a smile and a nod. According to the young man who was holding the crystal in his hand, "I will wear this with pride." Ka Chan, "I will make the whole Senju clan proud." Sununade grinned and talsled his hair. "You already have," the woman said, walking back to her husband to bid him farewell once more. Naruto's gaze found Kusha, and he experienced the same strange comforting sensation in his stomach that he knew was the result of his love for her. The hardest thing they had ever done together was to wake up this morning and leave the comfort of each other's arms, something they vowed never to do again. Cushi Chan, Narut said softly as he approached the young lady he adores. The Uzuaki girl gave Narut a gentle smile before leaning in to give him a tight hug, wrapping her arms around his waist. I'll miss you so much. As he put one arm around Kusha's waist and the other behind her head, Narudo closed his eyes and gave a silent nod. As he caressed Kosa's hair and inhaled the subtle rose scent emanating from her body, the Senu air reflected on how much he would miss her. Narudo smiled down at the girl as he withdrew from the embrace. I promise that I will come back home to you. Tears filled Kusha<unk>s eyes as she nodded with her usual cheerful tone. The girl joked, "You better come back to me. You have to teach me every jutsu you learn in these three years. Narudo wiped some tears from Kusha<unk>s cheeks, nodding and laughing. The young man whispered, <unk>You can count on it. And then leaned in to give Kusha another gentle peck on the lips. They both closed their eyes and relished the intimacy they were experiencing at the time. They needed to kiss each other goodbye, regardless of whether their parents were around. I am sthing this now. Don't you ever even look at any other girls on your trip. Kusha giggled as she drew back and pressed her forehead against Naruto's. Nar nodded his head and laughed joyfully. "Hi, Kusha sama." Their father's voice interrupted their moment. "Nar, Kosa, it's<unk> time to go." The Senju air gave Kusha another smile and a quick peck on the lips. "I will see you in 3 years. Wait for me, okay?" The girl from Uzuaki returned the smile and gave him a quick pat on the chest. I will wait for you forever if I have to. Following that, the young Senuumaki couple parted ways and went their separate ways. Narut stood next to his father, heading toward Mizu Nounkuni, while Kusha approached her mother on the right, returning to Konaha. A chill wind swept through the souls of all five members of the family as they split up. Narut found the first hund steps to be an eternity. Every step he took required more effort, and all he wanted was to rush back to Kosa and give her a kiss. but he knew he shouldn't because it would only make the situation more gloomy. Nar noticed that the diamond in his bracelet was glowing and felt a warm sensation on his wrist. Nar raised his arm and ran a finger along the diamond, a smile spreading across his face. A minute later, the light faded and he returned the love to Kusha by directing his own chakra into it. Kusha, I'll be home soon. Two days have passed since Narudo and his father left their house in Uzu Nounkuni, and they have now reached Tanzukai, the location of Jeriah's first meeting with his wife. The town was still a lively place with lots of tourists, and it hadn't changed much in all those years. The atmosphere was joyful and contented with lots of kids running around the town's numerous boos, trying new foods, and winning prizes. Jeriah was grinning as he gazed off into the distance to the roof where he had confessed to more than 10 years prior. He would always remember that night. As dinnertime drew near, the father said, "So, Narut, do you want any to eat?" Nar was observing the crowd in the festive area with a serious expression on his face. Two days ago, seeing so many people was strange for the young man, but he had essentially adjusted to it by then. The young man would typically be pleased to see such a lively town, but he would only consider trying things with Kusha whenever he saw something he wanted to try. Nar needed to get used to not having Kusha by his side all the time because he truly misses her. But he also knew that he should stop beating himself up over his sadness and concentrate on learning from his father. Narudo smiled slightly at his father. Sure, Tu Chan, what do you have in mind? Jeriah put an arm around his son's shoulder and grinned at him. Come on, let's<unk> go get a hot bowl of ramen. The father and son entered a ramen stand and took seats on the empty tables. A middle-aged woman with a warm smile on her face was the stand's owner. The woman asked courteously, "How can I help you two this evening?" Jeriah glanced at the menu and then up at the woman. I'll take a large miso ramen, please. Nar nodded and grinned as well. The woman nodded and began cooking behind the counter, saying, "I<unk>ll have the same thing, please." As he observed his son's dejected expression, the sonin sighed, understanding the boy's emotions perfectly. Even Jeriah was struggling to cope with the loss of his wife despite having a great deal more experience than his son. It was also painful for Jeriah to be separated from his wife for three years because it was safe to assume that his feelings forsunade were on par with, if not more intense than Naruto's love for Kusha. Jeriah's extensive experience was the only thing preventing him from behaving like Narudo. "Here you go!" exclaimed the ramen stand owner, setting two steaming bowls of ramen before them. While Jera was savoring the delicious noodles, he glanced over at his son and noticed that he was merely using his chopsticks to poke the soup. Narudo had frequently eaten ramen prepared by Kasha, and the noodles only made him miss her more than before. With a sigh, Jeriah finished his own bowl, put down some cash for their meal, and quietly walked off the stand. With his hands in his pockets, Narut trailed behind his father, wanting to go to bed because he was exhausted. His father bought something and held it in front of Naruto's face, but he was too distracted to notice. The young man noticed that his father was holding half of a popsicle for him when he looked up at him. Narudo asked, "What is this?" as he removed the desert from his. Jeriah ruffled his son's hair and grinned. "This is a popsicle, an after-dinner snack that I used to have all the time." After a long moment of staring at the cold snack, Narudo put it in his mouth. The frozen snack was delicious and sweet, and he was pleasantly surprised by the refreshed feeling it gave him. Jeriah gave his son a childlike pat on the head and grinned at the look on his face. Jeriah didn't want his son to grow up too quickly, so the sonin was happy that Narut could still act like an 11-year-old kid rather than constantly acting like the mature Senuir. Jeriah waited for Narut to finish his snack before he patted his shoulder to get his attention. as his son turned to face him. The man said, "We need to talk, Narudo. I know that this is very hard for you. You have lived on the island for all of your life, and you always had Kusha with you everyday, but this is how real life is, and you will have to get used to it." Narut was completely focused on his dad. These three years are for me to teach you the reality of the shinobi world, and as soon as you let go of your sadness, we will begin our training. Narudo gave his father a slight scowl. I'm sorry, Tu, Chan. I know that I am wasting time here and I promise that I will be okay by tomorrow. Jeriah grinned and talsled his son's hair. I know that this is hard. Don't push yourself. Okay. The heir of Senju gave a nod. Hi Tu Chan. The sonin gave his son a smile and a nod. That's my boy. Nar smiled back at his father as he poured chakra into his bracelet causing the diamonds to shine. After two days of travel, Sununade and her two daughters arrived at Konaha's gates. The trip back to Konaha took longer than usual, but they were unable to travel at their best because they were carrying a baby. Since they left two days ago, Kasha has said as many words as the mother can count, and the girl has been depressed the entire time. Even though Sununade herself missed her husband, her experience helped her move past it. It was much more difficult for Kasha to adjust to her new way of life because she had spent every day of her life with Narudo by her side. Grinning, sununade repositioned her infant daughter in her arms. With a singy voice, the mother chirped, "We are home, Midochan." While babbling cutely, the blonde sonn held Mido out to Kusha and watched as her little girl patted her older daughter on the face. Kusha had been thinking about Narudo the entire two days. She detested the fact that they had to be apart for 3 years just as their relationship became more apparent to her. The Uzuaki Aerys felt that spending time alone in Konaha was a waste of time. Even though she knew that she would always love Narudo, Kusha shook her head at her thoughts, realizing that she needed to put her career before her romantic life since she had a duty to succeed her mother as a top tier medical ninja and complete her own fujitsu training for the Uzumaki clan. When Kusha felt a tiny hand pat her cheek, she snapped out of her revery and turned to see her younger sister laughing at her. When Kusha saw that, she instantly smiled and bent to give Mido a cheek kiss. gave Kusha a small smile. Were here Kusha Chan, are you ready? When Kusha saw the enormous gate in front of her, her eyes widened. She had been too preoccupied to notice it earlier. Wah. The sonin put an arm around her daughter's shoulders and smiled at her. It's<unk> okay, sweetie. You follow me. We will go see Saruto sensei now. It was with her two daughters that entered Konaha for the first time in more than 10 years. Even though she would be much happier if Jerya and Naruda were with her, she was still content to return home after all these years. Although Sununade enjoyed her life on the island, she was happy to return to Konaha, which will always be her home. Along with Mido and Kasha, the Sanin had developed numerous new medical njutsu over the years, and she was eager to impart her knowledge to Shazun and Konaha's primary medical center. When Kusha saw the gatekeepers mouths drop when they saw her mother enter through the main gate, she suppressed a laugh. They must have been genuinely shocked. Even though the Uzumaki girl was well aware of her parents notoriety in Konaha and the rest of the world, it was still unexpected to see people staring at her Tu Chan and Ka Chan. Kusha whispered, "Wow!" as she surveyed her surroundings. Although the Uzumaki compound was quite large on the island, she had never seen buildings so closely packed together. The streets were still bustling with people and bright lights at nearly 8:00 in the evening, something Kusha was very unaccustomed to. On her first day away from home, the girl was taken aback by the variety of people she encountered and still needed to adjust. Drew her daughter closer while grinning at her. The mother pointed to the Hokag monument and said, "Look over there. That's your greatgrandfather and great granduncle." Kusha was shocked and in awe as she gazed up at the magnificent carvings. Although her family had told her about them, they were completely different from what she had imagined. Curious, the girl said, "Amazing. How long did it take to carve their faces out?" They laughed. The sonning I have no idea. Kusha was still gazing up at the massive monument, but she was not paying attention to the three hoage's faces. She was staring at the area next to the sandame instead. And when she imagined Naruto's head carved into that spot, she laughed a little. Kusha would be pleased if Naruto's dream came true, as he had frequently assured her that he would succeed in becoming the Hokag. If Nar gained more experience following his training trip, he would have a good chance of becoming Hokag because he had the potential to become one of the most powerful ninja in the elemental nations. In front of the mother and her two daughters, someone yelled, "Sunady sama." Kusha turned to see two middle-aged men staring at her mother, each with a child behind them. The most unusual feature of one of them was the sharp black ponytail that adorned his head. He had some scars on his face. Both men were dressed in Kona Junan uniforms and the other man's sandy blonde hair was pulled back in a long ponytail that reached his lower back. In remembrance, the blond sonning gave the man a smile. grinned at the man with the black hair and said, "You are that kid from the Nar family." And you are the Yamanaka kid who was on the same team. The two men grinned at Sununade and bowed their heads. It is great to finally have you back in Konahasunade Sama. The medical corps had been slipping without your leadership. The blonde man replied courteously. Sununade nodded and grinned with pride. The sonin stated, "Now that I'm back, I do intend to take over the medical corps again, so hopefully its quality will improve again." Kasha was gestured to the two clan leaders by Sununade who put an arm around her. "Shukaku, Eninoi, this is my daughter and the AIS to the Uzuaki clan." Senuumaki Kosa. Kasha bowed her head and grinned at the two leaders. It's nice to meet you both, Naran. Yamanaka san. Naturally surprised to learn that sununade had a daughter. Shikaku and Eninoi returned the girl's smile. Shikaku smiled courteously and said, "Hello, Kusha San. It is nice to meet you too." Enochi pointed to the girl behind him while grinning at Kusha. The man led a blonde girl from behind him tossade and said, "Hello, Kusha San." The father looked down at his little girl and said, "This is my daughter Yamanaka and Enoch Chan. This is SenjuSuade, one of the legendary Sanin of Konaha and her daughter Kusha. With a sigh, Shikaku pushed his slothful son in the direction of the sonning. This is my sonsunade sama, Nar Shikamaru. When the two young children learned that the attractive woman who appeared to be in her 20s was one of the legendary Sanin, they were astounded. Even though the academyy's students were all aware of the exploits of the incredibly powerful Shinobi and Kunoichi, they didn't anticipate encountering one of them in the street. Eno looked up at sununade with a broad smile on her face. "Wow," said the self- assured girl. The Yamanaka exclaimed, "It is great to meet you, Sununade Sama. I am a huge fan of yours." Like all the other girls in the academy, she had admireds since hearing about her in class. Sununade grinned at the girl below. Thank you, Enoch Chan. Little Mido finally attracted the attention of the two clan leaders and their kids when she decided she was hungry and began to cry in her mother's arms. The infant writhed in her mother's embrace until she caught sight of her sister, at which point she extended her tiny arms toward Kusha. Grinning, the Uzumaki girl took her sister from her mother and gave Mido a back rub to soothe her and stop her sobbing. Enochi smiled shakily and pointed to the infant. The man thrilled to see another Senju Aerys in the village asked, "Is that your child as well, Sunsade Sama?" Kusha was the one who responded. Kusha joyfully chirped, "Yep, this is my little sister, Senjuo." While holding her adorable younger sister, Shikaku nodded, grinning, "As the only known Senju clan survivor over the years," Sununade's daughter will have the opportunity to restore the world's most powerful Shinobi clan. "This is brilliant. It benefits Konoa greatly to have more Senju clan eryses. As Eno gazed at the adorable infant in Kosa's arms, her eyes were full of stars. Ah, she is so cute. Kusha gave the other girl a nod. She is, isn't she? Gave the head of the interrogation corps and the Junan commander a serious look. The sonin said, "I am going to see Serbi sensei now." In a tone that indicated she had to leave right away because it was important. Shikaku and his teammate both nodded. The man muttered, "Okay." before turning to face his son. "Shikamaru, let so Choji<unk>'s house. We still have to pick pick him up for the park." With a bored expression, the Nar boy sighed, "Menusai." Before departing with her childhood friend, the Yamanaka gave Kusha and the infant another smile and said, "Fine, come on, Eno." With a shunchen no jutsu, sununade put a hand on Kusha<unk>s shoulder and vanished. For the first time in decades, the sandame was thrilled to be in his office because it would allow him to see his surrogate daughter again and give him an excuse to avoid doing the tedious paperwork. A week ago, Jeriah dispatched the Hokag to inform the vill's medical center that Sununade would return to Konaha with their daughters. The Sandame wanteds sununade back in the village for more reasons than just the improved medical care. They also wanted other villages to reconsider attacking just because one of the sonin was back. The Uchiah clan's demise could make Konaha one of the main targets for the other villages, which has been causing the elemental nations to suffer for the past 10 years. A gust of wind suddenly blew through the room, and when Serbi looked up, he saws smiling at him while crossing her arms. A girl with a baby in her arms was standing next to her. "Hey, Serbi sensei," the sonin said, grinning to herself. Grinning, the sandame got up and went to give his beloved pupil a hug. Chan, it's<unk> great to see you again. smiled down at the white-haired Sandame Hokag as she withdrew from the embrace. The remark, you have definitely aged over their years. You really have a grandpa look now. Made Kusha laugh. Indignified. The sandame crossed his arm. Well, that is because I am not using a genjutsu to hide my true age like somebody I know. With a sly smile, the sonin approached a chair. Sununade sat down because she was exhausted and said, "Whatever, sensei, you would jump at the chance if I am willing to teach you the jutsu." Serbi turned to face the young girl and gave her a kind smile. The elderly man grinned like a grandfather and said, "Hello, you must be Kusha." "I am Serbi Hirozen, the sandame Hokag." Kusha smiled as she looked up at the village leader and bowed her head deeply for him. The girl bowed again and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Hokag Sama." At that moment, Seru Tutbi once more saw the tiny infant in Kusha<unk>s arms. When the Uzumaki girl noticed the Hokag examining the infant, she grinned at him. "And this is Mitochan, my baby sister." The adorable bundle made the sandame smile. With a grateful nod, Kusha gave her sister to the Hokag and asked, "Can I hold her?" Serbi caressed the baby's short white hair while holding the tiny infant to his chest. Oh, she looks just like Ysunade Chan, but she has Jeriah's hair. The Hokag responded, "You named him after Mido Sama." Sununade grinned at the scene because she had always wanted her sensei to meet her kids since he was like a father to her. So, sensei, have you ordered some Jennon teams to clean up the Senju compound? The Hokag glanced up from the infant and gave his pupil a nod. The Hokag returned to his seat with Mito still in his arms and said, "Yes, everything is done and accounted for. I have also assigned you the biggest office in the hospital as well as a smaller one for Kusha. I have told the staff at the hospital about your return and all of them are looking forward to you teaching them your new techniques. Startled, Kusha took a seat next to her mother. Why do I need an office? Gave her daughter a smile. You and Shazun will be my personal assistants, so of course you need an office. Serbi gave a serious glance. So the only topic left to discuss now is what to tell the village. The sonin gave a nod. Yes, the potential return of the Senju clan heir will be great news for the village, especially after the Uchiah clan massacre. The Hokag gave a nod. The hoage's statement caused Kusha to become a little alarmed. Yes, but Narut is not in the village now, so we need to handle this carefully as the existence of Narudo will spread like wildfire in the elemental nations and might cause him danger to befall him. The Hokag believed that no one would dare attack one of the strongest legendary son along with his teenage son. So he said, "But from what I have heard from Jera, Narut is already a capable shinobi. Plus, he is traveling with his father, so he should be fine from enemy villages." Sununade gave a nod. I am fine with revealing Naruto's existence to the village. I want the people to know about him before he comes home in 3 years. Serbi nodded, grinning, "All right." stood up and said, "Okay." Kusha nodded and grinned as well, saying, "Let<unk>s go to dinner, sensei. We are all hungry." She was starting to feel a little peckish. The sandame immediately agreed, jumping at the chance to leave his office. Of course, let's<unk> go to my home for dinner. I am sure Boako will be very happy to see you and meet Kusha and Mitochan grinned. Sure. Senju Narut found the familiar surroundings refreshing, even though he had grown accustomed to training in the same location back on Usuzu Island. A day ago, Jerya and his son arrived at Jenjutsu Suri Nosado Jenjutsu Tree Village where they have been training in the forest. Jera was eager to see if Narudo would feel anything toward the special trees in the village where they were staying because he had heard about them. Back on the island, Narudo discovered that he could sense the health of the trees around him and become aware of everyone and everything. if he directed his chakra into them. In the genjutsu suri no sad, the senju underwent the same procedure with the trees and he genuinely experienced a change. The natural genjutsu was likely directed at those in the vicinity because the chakra inside the tree did not flow regularly like that of other trees. Rather, it was swift and everchanging. As they trained in a battle ready clearing for the majority of the day, the father and son had not yet entered the village. From a tall tree, Jeriah was watching his son's skills while he watched 20 copies of Narudo clash with one another. Jeriah taught Narudo the cage Bunchon, a jutsu that was essential for spies because he wanted to make Narudo his heir because it consumes a lot of chakra and is deadly to anyone who attempts to use it without enough chakra. The cage bunch nojutsu is ranked as a kjutsu. Jeriah laughed when he thought about whether Narut would have that issue because he had more chakra than most Junan and would have no trouble using the technique. As Jeriah had predicted, Narut created more than 30 copies of himself when he used a tenth of his chakra to create Cage Bunchon. When Jeriah realized Narudo had vanquished his final clone, he leapt from his perch at top the tree. The father grinned proudly and said, "That's good, Narudo. You should rest for now." Nar had a lot of life force and endurance which was typical of his Senju clan ancestry. Nar nodded and grinned at his dad. The young man sighed and flopped on the ground panting, "All right, 2 Chan." Nar made use of his enormous supply of cage Bunchon for training, saying, "Man, training with Cage Bunchon is no joke at all." Based on the Senju's knowledge that the original purpose of cage bunchin was to absorb information from the clone after it dispelled, Narut discovered that training with multiple clones simultaneously could significantly accelerate his training. Jera crossed his arms and laughed. Well, the only flaw of this kind of training is that the user will suffer many times the fatigue compared to normal, but with your stamina, I'm sure you will be fine. When Narut suggested that the sonin train with cage bunchin, he was initially taken aback because it sounded more like suicide than training. However, after giving the matter some thought, Jeriah recognized the value of the suggestion. In addition to having enormous chakra reserves and being a member of the Senju clan, his son was likely one of the few individuals in the world to train with Cage Bunchin. So, his life force and physical energy should be far greater than that of other people. With a sigh, Narudo got to his feet and combed through his hair. Can we please go get something to eat? I feel like I could eat a whole cow. Jeriah glanced up at the sky and nodded. As he stretched his arms behind his back, the father said, "Sure, we should be heading into town soon. The sun will set in a little while. We should be able to find a good restaurant inside. I have a hankering for teriyak beef." The idea of some juicy teriyak chicken made the young Senju<unk>s mouth water. The blonde teenager jumped into the treeine and said, "Great, come to Chan. I'm not going to wait for you. With a sigh, the sonning leapt to his feet and trailed behind his son. As he watched his son travel at high speeds, the man muttered to himself, "Man, where the hell does the kid get all this energy? If I were him, I wouldn't be able to move." Approximately 1,000 people lived in Jenjutsu Suri Nosado, making it a comparatively small village based on Jeriah's information. Because of the natural jenjutsu in the nearby forest, many shinobi tend to avoid this peaceful village. However, the legendary Sanin and the Senju air would not be bothered by such a weak illusion. The young Senu said, "You were right, too," Chan, as he proceeded farther into the forest. Nar usually feels calm and at ease in forests, but inside the Jenjutsu trees, he sensed that something was watching over him. The deeper we go into the forest, the stranger it feels. There seemed to be something affecting the chakra in the area. Jeriah gave a nod. The father smirked as he explained. Yes, there is a mysterious magnetic field around this area that affects the chakra inside people's brains and it creates a genjutsu like effect on many people who pass by. If your ka chan hadn't trained you in jenjutsu already, I would train you in that subject here. Nar nodded and grinned back as he used little to no chakra to break the minor jutsu on him. The senju remarked, that would be quite suitable, but the jenjutsu here is really weak to actually be very effective for real shinobi. I can still remember the Jenjutsu Ka Chan casted on me. She said that she wasn't very good at the field, but it still took me a while to break it. The father laughed. Well, your mother is the most powerful Kunoichi in the world. She may say she is not good at genjutsu, but it is still quite capable. As they got closer to the area's main village, the father and son kept up their small talk. Jeriah remembered the village from his previous visits a few decades ago as being tranquil and tranquil. At the time, he was still a woman researcher, and the majority of the lovely women in the village were in his memory. It was difficult to accept that Jeriah, who had once been a super pervert, had softened into a devoted husband. As long as he loved his wife, he would never look at another woman. Jeriah and Nar reached the village's purported entrance after 10 more minutes, but a big wooden gate stood in their way. The main point was why the village needed a gate in the first place, even though the gate was of poor quality and would be easy for intruders to breach if they truly wanted to attack. Jeriah's arms were crossed. H this wasn't here the last time I came here. As he approached the gate, wondering if anyone was behind it, Narudo was close to placing his hand on it to feel the surroundings when he noticed something. When the Senju saw two projectiles coming his way, he leapt to the side in time to avoid the sudden attack, but the weapons struck the ground and a cloud of red powder burst around them. A stinging sensation caused Jera and Nar to reflexively close their eyes. The red shroud was actually red chili powder. Naro wiped his eyes and scowlled at the top of the gate, grunting, "What is the meaning of this?" Someone at the top of the gate yelled, "Go away!" It was merely a boy who appeared to be Naruto's junior. His eyes were light brown and his hair was purple. He wore a long-sleeved green shirt with a high collar and a dark green vest that hung down past his waist and was secured with a belt. He also had a red headband around his forehead. In addition, he wore sandals and dark-colored pants. Narudo thought the red chili powder bombs were the two red balls the boy was holding in addition to a slingshot. Jeriah took a step forward and turned to face the boy. We are not enemies. We are only tourists who would like somewhere to settle for the night. The boy gave Jera a scowl as he withdrew his slingshot. Shut up, yelled the odd young individual. I told you to go away. No one can be here. Nar glanced up at the boy with his arms crossed. And why is that? Nar was hit by another chili powder bomb fired by the boy, but the Senu simply leapt forward to avoid it. I am not going to say anything. Just leave my village now. A voice abruptly came from behind the gate and said, "Hey, Tanishi, is there something wrong?" Narut and Jera both noticed that the boy tensed up at the sound of the voice. A few seconds later, the boy named Tanishi turned back to the Senju father and son and glared at them again, saying, "E, everything is fine. It nothing. Get out of here. There will be trouble if someone sees you." Nar nodded in response when Jeriah put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him. Jeriah and his son flashed through a few hand signs and vanished from sight. With a sigh, Narut took a seat on a big tree root while his father rested against the tree's trunk. The child in the village was starting to irritate the young Senju, who was also getting very hungry and exhausted and just wanted to settle down and relax. With a smile on his face as his favorite blue glowing fruit materialized on a branch above him, Narudo shook his head and put a hand on the tree he was sitting on. Naruto leapt to seize it and devoured it in a single bite. Naruto's hunger vanished and his chakra was instantly restored. The fruit was very beneficial. In addition to acting as a food pill, it tasted fantastic and had no negative effects. Narut grinned at his father and said, "Hey, Tu Chan, are you hungry? Do you want a fruit?" Jeriah shook his head and returned his son's smile. The man turned to face the direction of the village and muttered, "No thanks. You know Nar, this village used to be very peaceful and welcoming. I wondered what happened to them. Leaning to the side in contemplation, Nar crossed his arms. Something bad must have happened. They were quite serious and that boy looked very nervous. The sonnine looked serious and nodded. Something made the villagers isolate themselves in the village. To protect themselves, they made a wall and even took up arms against strangers. The man with narrowed eyes was named. This is something we shouldn't ignore. The Senu Air was smirking and looking interested. So, what do you want to sew? With a quick smile, Jeriah got to his feet and gave his son a head pat. The man winked and said, "Well, Nar, this is your chance to shine. You have learned many theories from me in the past few weeks, and this is a good chance for you to apply them into real life." Nar nodded and let out a sigh. I expected as much, so I am supposed to infiltrate that village and see what is going on and maybe find out the cause behind all this. With a smile on his face, the GMA Senan nodded. Couldn't have said it better myself. The Senju air had been eager to experience something tangible, had been enthralled with the idea of being a shinobi and a spy, and had been thrilled by his first mission. The teenager said, "Okay, Tu Chan, wish me luck." As he vanished using a Shan nojutsu, the village gate was heavily guarded. The residents even scheduled gatekeepers, shifts, and alternated between them periodically. While he watched the people below him move, Narudo remained concealed under a large tree canopy. Narudo was taken aback by the boy's response at the village entrance. He had never in his life witnessed someone appear so anxious and agitated. Nar wondered what had happened to the young boy to cause him such serious problems since the boy appeared to be only a little younger than him. Nar knew that the village used to be a tranquil place with friendly people. So something must have happened based on the information his father gave him. An outside attack is the most reasonable justification for a village to take up arms. But if Shinobi attacked, the weapons they were using would be useless. Normal bandits would not have been able to overcome the forest's natural genjutsu. So it was likely that Shinobi attacked the village despite its inadequate weaponry. A glowing fruit was thrown into Naruto's mouth from the air. As he swallowed the tasty fruit, the young man muttered to himself, "Well, there is no point reasoning this out. No one knows the situation better than the villagers themselves." After leaping over the village's gate and landing on one of its shorter roofs, Nar immediately hid behind the building's second story balcony and knelt on the ground. Nar spotted the same boy who had been watching the gate some time before out of the corner of his eye and grinned as he followed him. When the boy switched places with an adult, the Senju watched him closely and heard that it was the boy's turn to take a break. Narudo saw the boy's entry into a house in the center of the village as his opportunity. Using his speed and dexterity, Naro entered the house without the boy noticing and before he shut the door, just as his father had taught him to do. The boy had just completed removing his armor and boots when Narut materialized behind him, clutching the cany close to his throat. When the boy saw the blades reflective surface, he instantly froze and started to scream, but Nar put his hand over his mouth to stop him. Nar calmly whispered, "I am only here to help. No need to be alarmed." As he took the blade away from Tanosi's neck, "Tell me what is going on in the village." Tani nodded, his eyes filled with terror. "Oh, okay." The boy and Narut approached a circular table and took seats opposite one another. The Senju noticed that the house only had the most basic necessities and that many items were lacking. The boy appeared to live alone and all of the walls were plain with no pictures displayed at all. Silently, Narut gazed back at Tani, wondering why the younger boy would seem so solemn and depressed. It seemed as though his entire world had already ended and he was only surviving. I am sorry for scaring you like that, but I can't<unk>t afford a commotion. With a sigh, Tanishy turned to face the table. You should just leave. If they find out you are here, the other villagers will get hurt. Narudo gave the boy a narrowed look. Who are they? The boy gritted his teeth and glared at the Senju. Why the hell do you care? With a sigh, the Senju air combed his hair. I am only here to help. Just tell me about them. Tannanish closed his eyes and slumped his shoulder. With an angry expression on his face, the boy whispered, "It was about 4 months ago." as he glanced back up at the older young man. A group of shinobi came to our village and took everyone hostage. They said they wanted to use our forest to perfect their genjutsu and they started to cast an illusion on everybody. Although the villagers lacked the ability to defend themselves against any shinobi, Narut had anticipated that the village would be targeted by the shinobi due to the natural genjutsu. The boy's face was filled with sadness. Narut nodded in agreement with the story, indicating that he was paying close attention. They had powerful genjutsu, but my villagers had learned how to repel Jenjutsu because of the forest around us. We found that we can use chili powder to repel the illusions, and my father was the one who saved us all from the Jenjutsu. The Senju air grinned at the boy's father's valiant attitude. My father had always been a person the villagers looked up to, and he wanted nothing more than to protect our home with his power. But he was a fool. Narut looked at the boy. What are you talking about? Tannanish gave his fists a scowl. The boy sobbed as tears came from his eyes. He should have known that he was no match for the shinobi. Even when he was beaten to a pulp he didn't give up, and they eventually killed him. He said, "His death was useless at the end. The shinobi still took over the village and had taken everyone hostage. We are all under their control, and there is nothing we can do about it." The Senuir experienced his own feelings of disgust and rage rising inside of him. Since his birth, Narudo had led a very sheltered life. In fact, his mission with his father was primarily to expose him to the real shinobi world. Tanashi's father's fate provided Narudo with a window into reality. The Senju was enraged at those who killed him, but he was proud of the man for resisting a force bigger than himself and dying to defend his family. There was Tani as well. Narut called his father a fool and was disgusted by the fact that he was angry at him for trying. Yes, the man died, but he did so as a hero and for a cause. In a way, Tanosi's behavior toward his father was akin to spitting on his grave. Narut gave Tani a scowl. Tani glared at the young man, who muttered, "You are the fool." The Senju clutched his fists together and lectured, "Your father was a hero to die, trying to show all of you that giving up is not an option. He never gave up because he would rather die than to see his village and family fall into the hands of the shinobi." Instead of following his example of fighting, you gave up without trying. Your father must be rolling in his grave. After slamming his hand against the table, Tannishi got to his feet. The boy yelled, "Shut up, you bastard. Despite the fact that he should keep quiet, you have no right to lecture me. Your father didn't die for nothing. You didn't see your hero killed right in front of your eyes." Nar got to his feet and gazed down at Tanishi without showing any emotion. If my father was killed like yours, I would do everything I can to follow his cause. I would hail me father as a hero and put my life on the line just like he did. The boy turned his gaze from the older young man to the floor. Tanishy sobbed as she said, "How can I do that? My father wasn't strong enough to beat those men. What the hell can I do? I am just a kid and they are a group of shinobi that had kept all women and young children as hostages. I am not strong enough." The Senju<unk>s arms were crossed. Nar put himself in Tanashi's position and said, "It doesn't matter if you fail. All that matters is that you tried your best to fix the situation. That way, when you die, you will be able to face your father in the afterlife with no shame." With a sigh, Nar approached the front door of the house, put his hand on the wooden door, and channeled his chakra through everything connected to it. If you give up from the start, you will be tortured by shame and guilt for the rest of your life, and there will be nothing you can do to change anything. And he said it was possible for Narudo to use Mokudin to sense everything in the village because prior to entering the house, he had observed that the entire village was made of lumber and that each building was held up by wooden pillars set into the ground. After closing his eyes and mapping out the village with his chakra, Narudo realized that the northern part of the village had a strong chakra shroud, which he assumed was where the shinobi were hiding. After wiping away his tears, Tanosi turned to face Narudo. W, what are you doing? Narudo opened his eyes and cast a sidelong glance at the younger boy. I know where the shinobi are hiding and I am going to deal with them now. You can help me if you want, but if you still maintain that your father's efforts were useless, then you can go tell the shinobi that I am here. With wide eyes, Tanishi approached Narudo. A are you insane? The Senju gave a headshake. No, I am just doing the right thing. Narudo vanished in a cloud of smoke before Tanashi could stop him. At full speed, Narut raced through the tiny village, his legs propelling him to the northern region where the dense chakra lay. For Nar, the past hour felt like a full day as the new information and human behavior poured into his mind like a tsunami. Although Narut had always known that people killed and people died, the reality of life was nothing like the stories he had heard. So, he was disgusted by the idea of Shinobi killing people needlessly. The Senju would do whatever it took to kill the people who killed his father because he could only imagine how furious he would be if his father were killed like Tanosi's father. Narudo was certain of one thing. He would never believe his father was a fool. Narudo wanted to strike the child in the face as soon as he heard Tanosi's description of his father. Tanashi was the true idiot. As he got closer to the location where the chakra was hidden, a lake, Narudo shook his head at the thoughts. Surprisingly, the chakras were submerged in the small body of water with a tiny island in the center. The Senju quietly peered down at the water after landing on one of the trees in the nearby forest. Narudo would have to drive the adversaries to the surface and engage in direct combat because he didn't want to take the chance of getting caught in their trap. The Nar muttered, "Cage bunch jutsu." As a solid version of himself materialized on the same branch, the clone leapt to the ground and raced toward the lakes's entrance. Narudo had to use his clone to take any kind of trap or ambush for him because he assumed that the shinobi in the area had already noticed him and were waiting for him to initiate contact. Smirking, the Narudo clone leapt into the air using a tree as a springboard. As he hubbed above the water, the clone made a few hand gestures before slamming his palms down just before the water's surface. Sweden. Boroku. Violent. Within 3 seconds, a massive whirlpool centered on Narut appeared as the water surrounding the clone began to violently twist. As he and the jutsu's epicenter started to descend in altitude, the Narudo clone's palm stayed on the water surface while the water surrounding him rose in a perfect circle of violent water currents. The majority of the lake was drawn to the whirlpool, and Narudo sensed the clarity of the chakra signatures concealed in the water. Clapping his palms together, the clone pulled them out of the water. Futon Atsugai. A powerful gust of wind sent huge waves of the risen water to the ground as it blasted in a perfect circle from Naruto's body. Naruto's chakra sent the lake into utter confusion like a maelstrom, and he grinned as he sensed the chakra signatures rise to the surface. A group of men rose to the water's surface, and Narudo and his clone both grinned. The leader was wearing a gray flack jacket, and the few behind who seemed to be their leader were all dressed in gray bodysuits and something like gas masks. In addition to having a big burned scar on his forehead and gravity-deying brown hair, the man was grinning at Narudo with a laid-back expression. The leader openly analyzed Narudo and remarked, "Well, I never expected a young man like you to challenge us, but based on what I just saw, you are quite a prodigious ninja. I am Kandichi, the leader of the small group. What concerns do you have with us?" The real Narut smirked as he leapt to the water's surface, and the cave bunch scattered with a puff of smoke. The young man crossed his arms and said, "You can call me Narudo, and I am just here to help the people of this village. Please don't think of me as inconsiderate, but I'm afraid you all have overstayed. You're welcome." Kandichi shook his head and laughed. The group leader pointed at Narut and snapped his finger, saying, "You should return to your mother, kid. This is the real world, and you need to tread lightly or you will die." The six men behind Kandichi, each brandishing a canai, charged at Narudo, saying, "Teach this brat a lesson. Two men broke away from the group and came up from the right, two more from the left and the other two charged straight ahead. Narudo flared his chakra while glaring at kandichi. Sweden sugheki. The charging men halted upon seeing the jutsu and a wall of water rose to provide protection in all directions. Narudo rushed out of the wall after removing his nodi from a seal on his wrist. The senju appeared in the center of the two men in front of him using his speed to get close to them. Nar cut both men's chests with a slash of his blade, causing deep, piercing wounds. They sailed through the air and crashed into the water a few meters away as Narut leapt to his feet and kicked each of them away as they were screaming in agony. Their heavy armor caused them to sink into the water while they were unconscious. One man yelled, "Damn you, brat." As he and his companion charged Narudo from the right. Despite his self- assured exterior, Narudo was feeling ill from the injuries he had caused to the two earlier men. Narudo had only ever engaged in combat with his parents and Kusha in his lifetime, and he had never seriously injured either of them. He had the impression that his attack would kill the two men. Senju was startled out of his revery when he noticed two other men nearby and raised his sword to block their cany. The young blonde gave the men a scowl. Just give up now. The Senju slashed through the men's canis, channeling some wind chakra into his blade. Narudo replied, you are all too weak. before turning around and slicing through the men's armor before pointing his palm at them. The wounded men were at point blank range when a gust of wind blew out of his palm and blasted at them, sending them flying all the way to shore and crashing into some trees. Futon dappa I exclaimed. Even though they were severely injured, at least they won't perish in the lake. One of the two men who were left exclaimed, w who the hell is this kid? The Senju fixed his gaze on them and shook his head. This is over. Narudo charged at the two men, directed his chakra into one foot, slammed it against the water surface in front of them, and used his superpowers to create a huge water shock wave. Narudo thrust both of his fists into the men's stomachs after they were raised into the air. The two men were launched to the shore and into some trees, but they survived the Senju's attack, which used only a small amount of chakra. Kandichi was astounded by the young man's skill. He had assumed Narudo was a simple, unskilled brat, but he easily defeated his men as if they were a brand new jennon. The young man's agility was amazing, and Kandichi would have to acknowledge that he was slower than the boy. Naruto's strength as a ninja was no secret, but since he was still a child, Kandichi assumed he was accompanied by a sensei or parents, so he needed to be alert for other ninjas. I have to say, kid, you are much more than what I expected. Naruto's fingers were cold with anxiety and his heart was beating faster than it had ever done. We can stop this senseless fighting. Leave the village in peace and everything can be resolved. Kandichi laughed. The man mumbled, you forget something, brat. While grinning and making a hand gesture. Kandichi made a hand gesture while the Senju was on guard and his eyes widened when he noticed a flesh-like vine emerging from behind the island. A short while later, another one emerged, and both of them were clutching cages, which Narudo examined more closely to discover that they were occupied by women and children. "They must be the hostages Tanashi was referring to," the Senju thought, gritting his teeth in rage. Narut angrily cursed the man, saying, "You are pathetic. Instead of fighting me oneon-one, you try to blackmail me with hostages." The man with scars grinned. Kandichi sighed and shook his head at Narudo, saying, "You may be strong, but you are naive. Real men will do anything to get their way, and that includes blowing these women and children to pieces." The man sneered, his face deranged. "I warned you, kid, but I'm afraid I have to kill you now." The lakes's water began to shift, and Naruto's eyes widened as he noticed a huge creature that resembled a shellfish appear behind the island. The creature owned the flesh vines, and it was releasing a lot of chakra. The man leapt to the top of his summon and cried out. This is the conch king, my ultimate weapon. If this is the way you want things to go, then fine, exclaimed the young man as he hurried to the big summon, and Nar glared up at him. Sweden swear you no jutsu. A dragon-shaped water gust rose from the water next to Nar, towering over the conchk king. When it struck it, its yellow eyes barged into candies. The water dragon was destroyed by the conch king<unk>s defense, which closed its mouth and used its extremely strong armor to confront the attack headon. Kandichi shook his head and closed his eyes. As the broken dragons water returned to the lake, the man said, "Give up, kid. You can't win this one." When the water subsided, the man opened his eyes and glanced down at Naruto's position, but he had vanished. Nar was glaring at the conch king with his blade drawn back when kanduchi's eyes widened and he caught him out of the corner of his eye. Kazakiri no jutsu Naro slashed down just as a strong blade of wind tore out of it, slicing through the flesh vines that were securing the hostages. When Kandichi realized that Nar had blocked his vision with the water from his dragon, he snarled and used the opportunity to leap over him and save the hostages. Glaring at Nar, the man swore, "You little prick, I will kill you." The conch king released another flashbine which headed directly for Nar. Before the young man could dodge the attack, it struck him in the face. That attack would have broken Naruto's neck. But to Kandichi's surprise, Nar simply vanished with a puff, which made him smile. When Kandichi saw another 10 Naruto's dragging the cages to shore and releasing them at the hostages, he snapped his head around and exclaimed, "K cage Bunchon." Glaring at the man staring at him, Narudo swiftly used his blade to cut through the bars of the final cage. Hurry up and get out of here. With their lives in jeopardy, the women and children hurried out of the cages and into the forest. Some of them had hopeful expressions on their faces, but the panic looks were still there. They were not expecting anyone to save them from candi, and it appeared that they had all given up hope already. One woman exclaimed, "Thank you so much." As she turned to face Nar. Nar could tell he had made the right decision by the relief in her eyes. Kandichi flared his chakra and gritted his teeth. To the man's annoyance, a number of flesh vines whipped over at the numerous Naruto, all of whom were clones. Die. Tanashi was concealed behind a bush close to the lake, but the woman and kids were too busy hurrying through the forest to notice her. The boy had witnessed everything Narudo did and was completely takenback. Despite being only slightly older than him, the blonde teenager easily defeated a great number of adversaries. Tanashi felt more optimistic than ever and wanted to assist Narudo in defending his village. In front of the comp king and Kandichi, the real Narut declared, "This is better. I always enjoy a challenging and fair fight." In his eyes, the elder ninja glared down at the bother. Kandichi needed a hand sign and concentrated his chakra and summon, saying, "You will pay for this." Sweden Jenjutsu Mugan Maro. The big summons shell split open, releasing a dense fog cloud that spread swiftly from its mouth. What is this? As he dropped into a combat stance, Narudo wondered, but he soon felt the fog's effects. He was unable to move an inch of his body as if it were stuck in place by solid rocks. It was a very strong genjutsu, and no matter how hard Narudo tried, his muscles would not move. Putting his hands on his hips, Kandichi wore a slightly smile. The man teasingly said, "What? Come on, say something." To his opponent, who was standing still. The man rad his hand through his hair inside in amusement. Narut wanted to glare at the man, but he was unable to raise his eyebrows. "This is such a shame. If you are so powerful at such a young age, I don't even want to imagine how powerful you will be in 10 years. Just from fighting you now, I can tell that you are a very naive child. Who are you to be helping these people? You should just mind your own business. That way, you can live longer. Naruto's rage reached new heights, and he made every effort to break the delusion. The conchk king<unk>s vine was licking Naruto's face, and every time it touched him, Nar felt as though a piece of his chakra had been shaved off. In the illusion, Nar could hear everything Kandichi said. The elderly man laughed. You can't break this jenjutsu boy. dot. Not only is this an A-rank jutsu, but its effects are amplified by 10folds because of the natural magnetic field in this forest. You are as good as dead. Kandichi let out a sigh and raised his head. Only a fool like you would randomly try to help a bunch of strangers. So what if I kill all the men in the village? So what if I rape all the women? They have nothing to do with you. The man said with a sigh, there is no such thing as a hero. Narudo was more irate than he had ever been in his life, and he could sense the genjutsu waning as a result of his chakra exploding inside his body. The Senju was successfully pushing the forward chakra out of his body, but it was insufficient because the genjutsu was so strong that it could likely imprison even the cages. Suddenly, however, all of the restraints were removed. When Nar smelled something strong and spicy in his nose, he became perplexed by his sudden ability to move. Someone shouted, "Wake up, Nar." from the side and the Senju looked over to see Tananishi. I'm sorry I doubted you, but you are right. Please save my village. Kandichi glared at Tanosi after his eyes widened. You dot you damn prick. Tanishi was terrified of the impending attack as the older ninja threw a flesh vine at the boy with the intention of killing him at that moment. Before the attack hit, the boy closed his eyes, but the pain never materialized. When he looked up again, Tanashi noticed that the vine was cut in two and it was still long enough to strike him. As Tanosi turned to face Narudo across the lake, she noticed him extending his blade. The Senju grinned at the younger boy and said, "Thank you, Tanashi. I knew you were strong enough. Now leave this to me." Kandichi was trembling with anger because he was shocked that a few children had outperformed him. "This is ridiculous," the man exclaimed in a fit of rage. The comp king exclaimed, "Makiho!" and sent needle-like projectiles out of its pores, all of which were incredibly swift. With a sly smile, Narut used his blade to block every necessary blow. As he collected a tremendous amount of chakra in the palm of his hand, the Senju exploded forward, declaring, "This is over." dot dot. In the palm of his hand, the faint blue light twisted into a tiny typhoon that was steadily growing in size. You will pay for all that you did to these villagers. Kandichi. Nar approached him with a jutsu that was already the size of a boulder, and the older ninja could only watch in horror as he did so. Kandichi was in complete and utter terror when Naruto's eyes locked with his Odama. Rasengon. The air around the impact point expanded and twisted. The effects were immediate, and the pressure was so great that the lakes water was being blown to the shore. Kandichi was unable to move, but the Kong King<unk>s shell broke almost immediately as it dissolved with a puff and returned to its own dimension. When Kandichi's body was crushed by the enormous orb of chakra, all he could do was scream in agony as loudly as he could. Narudo whispered, "You are done." as he released the form of his reengon, causing the potent chakra to spread out and completely engulf Kandichi. The man's cry had vanished. His entire existence had been wiped out of the world, and his entire being had been reduced to nothing. The massive chakra explosion lasted for an additional full minute as Narut kept releasing his chakra to vent the anger in his heart. There was a circular crater at the lake's bottom, and the lake had lost roughly half of its original water volume when the dazzling blue light subsided. After using up the majority of his chakra, Narudo felt weak and knew he wouldn't be able to stay conscious for very long. His vision dimmed as the Senju began to fall. But before he could lose consciousness, Narudo felt his father grab him from behind. Having been in the area from the start, Jeriah was pleasantly surprised by his son's handling of the situation. After Narudo killed the first two men, the sani noticed his hesitancy, but his son had to get used to it. As he turned to face the shore, where Tanishi and the majority of the villagers were staring at them, Jeriah muttered, "Rest for now, Narudo. You deserve it." The sonning nodded and grinned at them. "I hope you all are all right, but no matter what, we must leave now." Tanashi called out to the sonning just as they were ready to depart with his son. Wait, exclaimed the boy, capturing the interest of Jeriah and his villager. Thank you very much. Can you please tell Nar that he really changed my life and that I am really proud of my father? Jeriah nodded and gave the boy a gentle smile. With that, the sonin and his son departed with a shunchen nojutsu, leaving the village and its liberated and optimistic residence. Sure thing, kid. Goodbye. Narudo has matured significantly in the two years since he left his remote island home to accompany his father on his global travels. By the time he was 14, the Senju had matured into a young man with a body capable of supporting him. The man was still 5'8 in tall with a physique composed of compact muscles, but his blue eyes and spiky blonde hair remained the same. It was Jeriah's plan to let Narut gain experience in real combat and conflict so the Senuir could study the real shinobi world. And it was working pretty well. Since the beginning of the journey, Narudo had been given constant missions from his father, and he had completed over 50 missions, all of which were CBranked. The missions were primarily for Jeriah's benefit, but they were still listed in Konaha, so they would still be recorded into Naruto's hidden file in the village. Leaning his back against the tree trunk, Narudo stood at top a large branch and asked, "Where is that man?" The man folded his arms across his chest and muttered to himself. The Senu Air wore a standard whole body black combat suit, which was like a second skin on Naruto's body with black leather, steel toed leather boots protecting his feet, metal-plated fingerless gloves protecting his hands, his nodi strap to his waist, and a blank forehead protector on his forehead. Narudo had worked hard on his training to increase his physical stature, but he made sure his muscles were not too massive and that he still needed to stay tone to maintain his speed. This is why I hate the spies in Kawanokuni, land of rivers, mumbled the Senju to himself as he nibbled on the apple he had grown on the tree just moments before. Narudo sighed and raised one hand to pick an apple from the tree. The original plan of Jeriah was to teach Narudo everything he knew about infiltration and networking and everything was going well for the sonin and his son. Jeriah assigned Narudo to travel to Kawan nokuni and gather information from a local spy they hired a year ago. Nar arrived at the designated point from where he was in just one day. But the spy was late as usual. Narudo had become accustomed to doing solo missions since a year ago and was relieved that his father had enough faith in his abilities to let him handle a portion of his spy network. The Senju jumped down from the tree and walked over to the branch, saying, "You know, this is a very isolated and barren place. You don't need to hide." Naru looked down from his high ground and eyed a bush with some sudden movement. Not to mention that your steath skill are terrible. Narudo stopped in front of the bush and folded his arms across his chest. A man about Naruto's height with a medium build, a high ponytail of brown hair, and numerous scars on his face, began to emerge from the large bush with an exasperated expression on his face. "You are just as impolite as before," Narut San," the man muttered as he stood in front of the Senju and patted the pine needles off his clothes. "Hi Kenji, a samurai dropout who eventually joined a small bandit group in Kawanokuni, was dressed like a regular civilian, but had a katana strapped to his hip. Jeriah and Narut saw potential in the man after they caught him attempting to extort money from a local store. Most bandits don't make enough money to support a normal life, so Jeriah offered the man some cash and hired him as a spy in the nation. Nar extended his hand to the man and said, "So, could I please have my scroll?" With a nod and a sigh, Kenji handed Narut a scroll and muttered, "Here. I risked my life for this information, so I better get enough cash today." Quote, "As he opened the scroll in his hands and began reading its contents, the Senju smirked and shook his head." "You sure don't<unk>t change, Kenji," said Narut, standing with his arms crossed and his eyes moving along the scrolls rows of text. "Is this true? The missing nin Rya is in Katabami Kinsen." The Senu asked, looking back up and giving Kenji a serious expression. Quote, Kenji gave a serious nod. Yes, my boss was about to attack that village, but he would that it had been taken over by a group called the Kerrosuki family and the leader was also their namesake, Krosuki Rya. This is interesting. Katabami Kinsen is a neutral village with no shinobi. But if we free them, we would have a supporter in Kawanokuni. Analyzing the young man with a smirk, Narut rolled up the scroll and sealed it into a sturidge seal on his arm. But Rya and his people will be tough to handle. Nar knew that his abilities had greatly improved over the years, but Rya was one of the seven swordsmen of the mist, so it would still be extremely difficult for him. Shaking his head, the bandit spy said, "Do whatever you want, but I will warn you now that it will be very dangerous." As he threw a bag of Rio at Kenji, the young man said, "I know." And the Senu nodded and grinned at him. The man fled into the distance, returning to the village where his leader and partners lived. After Kenji sighed and turned around. Well, I just hope you are still alive the next time I have information for you. Narudo watched as the man vanished from view. And when he was alone, he unlocked a scroll from his arm larger than the typical information scroll and covered in a variety of seals that even Jeriah found difficult to identify. Narudo had used the theory of one of the jutsu he was developing to create one of his most used tools, which he named the communication scroll and his father and an exact counterpart. The two scrolls were connected together, just like the bracelets that bound Narudo and Kusha. The exact same words will appear instantly on his father's scroll if he uses chakra infused ink to write them on it. Jeriah was amazed when his son first told him about his invention and immediately believed that it would usher in a new era of networking and communication, which would greatly increase Kono Shashobi's efficiency. The Senju opened the scroll and instructed him to write the contents of Kenji<unk>s scroll onto the communication scroll. And when he was finished, he rolled the scroll back up and channeled a burst of chakra into the main seal. "Okay," murmured Narudo to himself as he channeled his chakra to the ground in front of him, and a wooden table appeared in a split second. The scroll glowed briefly, which was mirrored by Jeriah's own scroll, and it was Naruto's method of informing his father that he had a message. A message from his father appeared in ink within the next minute after Narut reopened the scroll and waited for a response. Narudo, this is fascinating and we ought to look into it. Katabami kinsen is just a few hours away. You go there first and I'll see you tomorrow. After nodding to himself, the Senju dipped his pen into the chakra ink once more and said, "I understand, Tu Chan, will you arrive? I will be able to sense you and I will lead us to a safe rendevous point." Nar then sealed the scroll into his arm and closed it. Katabami Kinszen was roughly 3 hours drive northeast of Naruto's location and he wanted to reach it before dusk. By channeling Chakra into his feet, Narut jumped up into the treeine and raced through the forest to his destination. A smile came to the Sanin's face as he considered the day when he would be able to retire from being a shinobi and simply live in Konaha with his wife and children. Jera was enjoying a saucer of sake in a bar in the largest village of Kawan Nokuni. The sonin had grown accustomed to sending Narudo to handle all the tiresome traveling and he would only serve as an adviser to his son. He kept telling himself that he was just training his son. But the main reason was that he was lazy. It worked out perfectly for Jeriah because he had always planned to retire by the time he was 60. But he had questioned whether the village would still need him by then. Judging by the power of his son, Jera will retire because even if the village needed a powerful ninja, Narudo would have already surpassed him. Jeriah predicted that he would be able to leave everything in his son's hands sometime in the next 10 years based on the improvements in Naruto<unk>'s ninja skills. "Pardon me, sir. Do you want another bottle?" "Beside Jeriah," a waiter courteously inquired. "No, thank you. Could I please have the check?" The white-haired man said with a smile and a shake of his head. "Of course, sir." The sonin wanted to leave everything to his son. But if Krosuki Raya was really hiding in Katabami Kinszen, then Narudo would need some assistance in dealing with him. Although all seven of the seven swordsmen of the mist were strong Shinobi, Narut still lacked experience in combating season shinobi, and that was the only occasion when he required assistance from his father. Jeriah side and ran his fingers through his hair. Jeriah was one of the strongest ninja to have ever left Konaha, so he would have an easy time fighting Rya. The Sanin intended to remain hidden throughout the mission and watch his sons movements. And if Narut truly needed assistance, he would leap out to assist him. Jera was about to leave the small bar when he noticed some shinobi from a megaker sitting just a few tables behind him. The sonnine was not a sensor, but a ninja of his caliber could tell how strong his enemy's chakra was, so he thought they were just chunins. The confusing thing was that Jera was in Kawanokuni, a country that had no relationship to aim. So there had to be a reason why the shinobi were there. The sonin glanced at the table out of the corner of his eye and saw that there were only two of them and aim typically used three man cells on missions so their leader must be missing. As he left the bar without the aim shinobi noticing, Jeriah narrowed his eyes and asked could they be going to Katabami Kinsen too. Narudo had arrived at the edge of Kaibami Kinzen and was moving at a steady pace to enter the village which was safe to assume was occupied by the enemy. So, the Senu was using his stealth to avoid being detected from behind by the enemy. From what he could see, the village looked normal with no buildings that seemed to have been destroyed in a calm atmosphere surrounding it. Katabami Kinzen had only a few thousand residents, which was a relatively small population, but it baffled Narut that every street was deserted and devoid of life. Assuming that the villagers were in distress and not active within the village due to Rya and his people, Narudo moved on towards the outskirts of the village, even though some food stands and stores had opened. Based on his experience over the previous two years, he knew that whenever Shinobi would occupy a village, they would never live inside the village itself, instead hiding somewhere within its perimeter, and Rya would probably follow suit. This was simply the most efficient way to hide from major shinobi villages. As he leapt through the forest, tree by tree, the Senju murmured to himself, "Man, this is a barren town, if I've ever seen one." When Narut noticed a small restaurant at the edge of the village with smoke coming from the chimney, indicating that it was open, he decided to get some information from the owners and leapt down from the treeine to enter the tiny building. Despite the serious situation, Narudo was a little hungry due to the wonderful smell of curry coming from the kitchen. And an elderly woman came out of the kitchen. Narudo smiled as he entered the restaurant, knowing that he needed to be friendly to civilians in order to get information from them. The Senju looked around the small space with empty tables throughout the entire house as he was the only customer at the time. Hello there. You must be from out of town young man, the woman said with a smile as she addressed Nar. Yes, Mom. I was feeling hungry and you were one of the few placed opened. Nar nodded and smiled back. Your curry smells so good. It was hard to resist coming into here," the young man said politely. The owner led Narudo to a table and motioned for him to sit down, saying, "I am glad you came here for my curry of life. I will bring you some right now." The woman grinned back and laughed, saying, "Oh, you are such a polite young lad. You are rare these days, you know." Curious. The Senju<unk>s eyebrow went up. Curry of life. Quote, "Yes, it is an old recipe that was passed down to me from my mother, and it will energize and rejuvenate whoever eats it with rich nutrients," the elderly woman said, nodding. The woman said proudly. Nodding, Narudo said, "Then great. I am feeling a little tired from the long day. He had laughed himself." The Senju<unk>s chakra extended into a wide radius, and he mentally drew a map in his mind. The area was quite clear with only a few small areas covered by forest and the general terrain being relatively flat, so there were few places to hide. Narudo took the time to use his chakra to sense his surroundings as the old woman stalked back into her kitchen to prepare the meal. It was easier to concentrate when he was stationary, and his imaging can be much clearer. When Narudo opened his eyes and looked northwest from his current location, he detected a few tiny areas that might be caverns a few miles away. Go ahead, young man. Have fun. I put some extra spice in it just because you were so polite. The elderly woman said, setting a plate of rice and boiling curry in front of Nar. Nar nodded and grinned at the restaurant's proprietor, saying, "Thank you, Mom. This looks delicious. Since he began traveling with his father, the Senju's taste for spicy food has only gotten stronger." Since Kusha and his mother don't typically eat spicy food if they have a choice, they would frequently eat spicy hot pots when it was just the two of them. Narut picked up the spoon that was next to his plate and began to eat. And despite the circumstances, he had to admit that the curry was among the best he had ever tasted in his life. "What do you think?" the elderly woman asked with a smile. "This is really good. I've never had any curry that tasted this good. The senju said, grinning up at the woman while wiping his mouth. Thank you. I am really proud of my curry, the woman said with a slight smile and a nod. That was really good. Thank you, said the young man as he sipped on his glass of water after Narudo finished the plate in a few more minutes. I don't understand. How come I am the only one here at lunchtime with your food? I would assume that you have great business. Quote, "The elderly woman side, yeah, there used to be a lot more business, but ever since the dark times, no one even leaves their homes anymore. The Senju attempted to soften the topic further after noticing the woman's tone." Dark times. "What do you mean? There hasn't been a ninja war in a long time," inquired Narudo in a light-hearted but inquisitive tone. Quote, "In a small village like ours, the wars never ended," the woman muttered as she sat down opposite Narudo, looking down at the blonde young man with a dejected expression. "Ever since, a bunch of bandits infiltrated our village a few years ago, and we have been under their control ever since. Nar began to realize that the woman would provide him with a lot of information. They ruined our village. They isolated us from the outside world and ruled us with fear. Many have tried, but they all died in the end. Who are these people you are talking about? Narudo asked, his face taking on a serious tone. Are they Shinobi from other villages? The young man asked, his eyes narrowed. Quote. As she shook her head, the owner muttered, her eyes closed. I have no idea, but I know that they are all evil men. The worst thing is their horrifying rituals of killing. We found many men buried alive in the outskirts of the village. You mean these people are killing by burying their victims alive? the Senju asked, his eyes widening. Quote, "Yes, there is a mad man as their leader, and he enjoys funerals, which is why he keep burying people alive," the elderly woman said, putting her hands together in nervousness and nodding. She then turned back to Narudo and said, "Of course, these are just rumors. I don't know if it is actually true." The Senju sighed and set down some cash for his meal. And Narudo shook his head. That's terrible, he said, rising from his seat and making his way to the door. Don't worry, ma'am. I will do everything in my power to get rid of those men from your village. Startled, the woman got to her feet as well. Hey, young man, don't go messing with them. You will be killed, exclaimed the anxious owner. Grinning, Narudo turned around and said, <unk>on worry about me. This will be over soon. The Senju was once again passing through the small town of Katabami Kinszen and heading toward the outskirts of the village. Narudo was relieved to see a large forest ahead of him as the mass of trees was backed up against the mountain and appeared to be ideal for someone like Rego to hide him. Naruto's senses would be enhanced by Tenfold in a forest, making it impossible for anyone to hide from him. As he ran through the dense forest, Naro sensed a few weak chakra levels a few miles away. But as he was slowly making his way to that area, another few signatures appeared just a couple hundred meters away from him. Narudo instantly stopped in his tracks as he concentrated his chakra more to determine what kind of shinobi they were. Narudo suppressed his chakra to the bare minimum in an attempt to hide his presence from potential enemies. Aside from Rya, who else could be present? Nar muttered to himself as he allowed the few individuals to walk by. He could tell that they were going in the same direction as the location where he detected the other chakra signatures. The Senju looked up at the sky and saw that it was quite dark for an afternoon with some thunder clouds hovering above them, which was strange because it had been a perfect day just a few minutes before. It took Nar another minute to start moving again, but this time he was behind the traveling group and the stationary group. Nar concluded from his senses that he was almost at the edge of the forest and they should already be somewhere on the top of the mountain. The Senju immediately narrowed his eyes upon seeing the small group of shinobi in front of him, hiding himself in the treeline canopies at the edge of the forest. The only plausible explanation for a megakaker's involvement in such a small town was that Aim had received word of Rya's presence in Katabami Kinszen. But Narudo was clueless about their intentions with the former Kiri ninja. As he watched the scene unfold, Narudo pushed his face out a bit more to get a better look and at last recognize the face of the group leader. This is interesting. What is Roushio Aoy doing here? The young man asked himself. According to what he had read about Rousko Aoi<unk>s abilities, the Senu recalled the section in the Konahabo book about Aoi<unk>'s treachery to Konaha and concluded that he was a formidable shinobi. Rousko Aoi, a tall, dark-haired man who was still relatively young but wellknown in the elemental nations, was a former Konaha ninja who defected to a Meggaker after obtaining what he wanted from the village and was adopted as a Junan. Over the previous few years, Aoi had been in charge of bringing in new shinobi for his village, and his leader had simply sent him to the small town to find Kurrosuki Rya, a former Kiri 7 swordsman. As Rego supposed to be hiding here, Aoi sama, one of Aoi's subordinates inquired, three Jennon made up his own team, which Aoi's leader had given him. Although Aoi understood that this was a friendly gesture from his village, he really disliked having the extra baggage around and frequently used them as bait to entice his enemies. Aoi grinned at his Jennon. Yes, the man murmured as he proceeded to a number of caverns that were affixed to a sizable portion of the mountain. Kurrosuki Rya, I'm Rkusho Aoi from Omegaker, and we're here to ask you to come back to Agar with us, the Aim Junan yelled. For a brief moment, there was only silence, but then the A shinobi heard footsteps emerging from the caverns. A man with dark fleshy lips, waistlength green hair with the top two bangs falling down on his cheeks on either side and blue eyes with a darker ripple around the pupil emerged from the dark cave. He was wearing a dark brown sleeveless vest that reached his knees with the inside of it purple. a light brown belt, light gray pants, and bandages covering most of his body, from his neck to his chest, including his arms and tibas. A number of other men emerged from the cave behind the man who appeared to be the group's leader. They all had strange gauntlets at their hands with blades extending from the knuckles, and they all made sure to stand behind their leader. They all had a manic and menacing appearance. The leader was greeted by Aoi, who grinned and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Rya. I have heard many things about you before. With a sigh, the Rya leader crossed his arms and said,"What is a name Junan looking for from me?" With a deep voice, the man muttered. Putting his hands on his hips, Aoi grinned and began the Junan in a casual manner, and my leader had ordered me to start collecting powerful ninja to complete our village, and you are one of my top priorities. A Megaker is reforming, so to speak. Without showing any emotion, Rya said, "I am flattered, but I must decline. I have no intention of joining any village. Aoi laughed and said,"I am a strong believer of motivation and I know that every man has a price. We can offer you anything you want." The man crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Power, money, women, nothing will be out of your reach if you join us. We can even save some places for your followers there." Rya muttered. Not every man can be bought a san as Aoi appeared slightly irritated. This matter is over," the A-ranked swordsmen said, turning around and standing motionless. Rya's own men deflected the weapons with their steel claws and jumped in front of their leader to face Aoy as his team as the three jennon behind Aoi threw several shuriken at him as he was about to return to his cave. The tension was high in the quiet setting, and the group's intent to kill was almost tangible. Rya and Aoi had not moved since their subordinates reacted, and the former was staring at the latter with emotionless eyes. I didn't expect a shinobi to be so short-tempered. Are you planning to kill me because I rejected your offer? Rya said cocking his head back and glancing at Aoi. Quote, "I'm sorry, Rya. I haven't trained my team enough, but I really can't blame them. After all, we've been traveling for a long time for just a simple rejection." Aoy grinned and stroed forward, placing his hands on top of his Jenn<unk>s shoulders. "So, what do you want?" Rya asked, turning back. Quote dot dot dot. As he crossed his arms and laughed, the aim nin said, "Those who are not with us shall die." With a sice smile, the former Kiri ninja asked, "Do you think you can kill us all?" Quote. Before reaching for a plain black hilt fastened to his waist, always stretched his neck from side to side. Why don't we find out? Rya and his men were shocked when a yellow blade appeared from the hilt, glowing a vivid blue. And the man's power was evident as he suggested this while channeling some chakra into his hilt. The ka, one of the renowned swords of the seven swordsmen of Kiri, was a pair of swords with slim, straight, double-edged blades. Each blade also had an upward-curved bladed prong near the tip of one side of the blade and another near the base of the other side. Rya took his own blades from his waist and held them in front of him. These were the notorious blades of Kured. after turning to face his men, Rya said. Take care of the other three. Give them a proper funeral. Hello, Rya sama. The 20 men cried out in unison as they immediately sped in the direction of their targets. We<unk>ll look after them, Aoy Sama. The 23 men all hurried back into the forest, eager to begin their battle, said the leader of Aoi's jennon group as they leapt back to move their battle elsewhere. Both men were known throughout the lands as some of the most vicious shinobi still alive and their battle was sure to result in carnage. Rya and Aoi stood silently in front of each other as their men sped away from them knowing that their battle was about to begin. With his own blade held defensively in front of him, the man said, "Aw, the ka the twin blades that are called the sharpest blades in the world." Aoi eyed the ka blades dangerously saying, "Let<unk>s see if you can best my blade." The raan noken, the signature blade of the Nadim Hokag. I've heard that it was stolen from Konaha a few years ago, but I didn't know it was you, Rya said, looking down at his adversary emotionlessly. With a sudden burst of speed, the aim ninja charged forward and pointed his blade at Rya's throat, saying, "That will be a mistake you will not live to regret." The air surrounding the battle was dry and crisp due to the heavy clashing chakra, and the sound of thunder and clashing metal reverberated throughout the area. It was difficult to believe that the leader of a megaker would be searching for strong ninja to join his village. There must be some sort of plan in motion and Narudo had just happened upon it. Shinobi in the league of one of the seven swordsmen of Kiri were hard to come by and someone of that caliber would be able to make Shinobi village much stronger. Narudo had been quietly monitoring the situation throughout the entire confrontation and his mood had changed with each passing moment. Since Amegaker's rise to power would not benefit Konaha and the instability could lead to war, Narudo was relieved that Rya had declined the offer to join AIM. Otherwise, he would have had to interfere and kill one of them. Now that the two Jun were forced to fight, Narudo had a window of opportunity to exploit the situation. Narudo could choose to eliminate the Kiri missing nin and the Konaha traitor. But he had to prioritize obtaining his great grand uncle<unk>s blade because it was a legendary Konaha blade and he could not stand some slimy traitor using it for personal gain. "I have to take care of the small fries first. I won't have time to deal with them if I am to battle Rya and Aoi," the Senjuir said, turning his back on the two Junan clash and beginning to move toward the battling underling. The Senju air could already sense the chakra levels of the men he was to take out, and they were all, to put it mildly, minuscule. Nar used his senses to quickly locate the 23 people who were not far from him, and he immediately sped in their direction. Based on what he could see, Nar concluded that Rya's men were primarily dependent on their taijutsu, and the men from Aim would probably know some of their villages njutsu, but he was fairly certain that they wouldn't even pose a threat to him. The Senju grinned when he realized that they were still in the forest and were only standing on the numerous branches, which made things much easier for Narut, who had been hurled at great speeds from tree to tree and had reached the battleground in a matter of minutes. With a canai in his hands, the leader of Aoi's Jennon team along with his teammates was dressed in traditional aim masks. He gazed down at Rya's men and said, "If you all know what is good for you, then drop your weapons and come join us in aim." Shut up. We will only follow Rya sama said one of Rya's men. Quote a jennon shook his head and grinned saying hey if these guys want to die I have no problem with it. As if you three can defeat all of us we will make sure to bury you all alive after this. Rya's man said glaring at his adversaries. This is ridiculous. The young man in his head thought as he placed a hand on the tree he was standing on. Narudo channeled a steady stream of chakra into the tree and allowed it to filter down into the trees roots and it began to spread out through the entire forest. Narudo had remembered the forest's chakra patterns from his trip to the Jenjutsu tree village and he had created a chakra manipulation jutsu that would allow him to create the same magnetic field in any forest. Jensen Shin Nojutsu illusion forest technique as long as they were in the forest. Naruto<unk>'s jenjutsu would be 10 times more effective than usual, and the men under him were still arguing back and forth and had no idea that they had all fallen into a trap. "The Senju began to weave some hand signs and channel his chakra." "Maggan, Satsujaku, treebinding death," Narut muttered. All of the men's chatter abruptly stopped, and they all retreated in fear as trees began to grow around them, their branches tangled around their throats. Though they tried to call for assistance, they discovered that the branches were crushing their airways, preventing them from breathing, moving a finger, and feeling as though their chakra was immobilized. Narut sighed as he leapt to the ground from his position. Knowing that with the Jensen Shinron, he could use the Jenjutsu to capture several men and that men of their level could not get away from his jutsu. Narut closed his eyes and sped around the men at his mercy, slicing open each man's jugulars with his wind chakra. The Senju stopped a few feet away from the group of men, and he was completely bloodless. Though he had become accustomed to killing on missions and was no longer as troubled by it, Narudo would still hope that his killed men would find peace in the afterlife. He prayed silently for the peace of the dead men in front of him. Nar turned away from the scene and made his way back to the two fighting Junan, muttering to himself, "Well, this is one job done." With an infamous pair of blades at his side, Rya was once known as the Kuriker. No regen and his fearsome talents were known throughout the lands as one of the best ever to come out of Kurriaker. Rya and Aoi were starting their battle in the vast clearing back at the outskirts of the small village and the tension in the air was almost palpable. Aoi had quite a reputation in the elemental nations despite not being as respected as Rya. He was listed as AB rank missing nin in the H nokuni bingo book following his defection from Konaha and Hunter Nin had been searching for him ever since. When the two strong shinobi appeared in the center of the field, their swords clashing against one another, the sound of clashing blades reverberated throughout the area. You are not as strong as I have imagined. Aoy San, if you didn't have that blade, I would have killed you long ago. Rya said while staring at the Aim Nin, it is amusing to think that your leader assigned you to search for me. If he thinks that a man like you can kill me, that he is highly delusional. As the man attempted to push his adversary away, Aoi glared back at him, saying, "Shut up, you fool. We<unk>ll see who has the last laugh here." Quote. Aoi was pushed back from his position by Rya, who grinned. "Raiden. Rau." A ball of electricity appeared as the man gathered chakra between his twin blades, and he slashed them down, sending the ball of electricity hurtling toward AO at breakneck speed. He cried. Damn, this guy is no joke. The man thought as he prevented himself from colliding with a tree after the a nin barely avoided the attack and was pushed backward. As if playing with Aoi, Rya deliberately missed his target while continuing to blast his adversary with electrical blasts. Come on, Aoi San. Is this the best you can do? The man laughed as he made fun of him. The man reacted quickly between the power attacks and sped into the forest as fast as he could, and Aoi jumped through the tree lines in random directions to stall Rya as much as he could. The exiry ninja shook his head as he sped into the forest as well. Playing with Aoi was one thing, but now that he knew where he was hiding, he couldn't allow Aoi to return to aim. You coward, stop running. Quote, the Senju had to admit that Aoi<unk>'s swordsmanship was pitiful. Without the power of the rage and no ken, he would have been killed long ago. Narudo had been watching the fight between Aoi and Rya for a few minutes and was takenback by the disparity in power between the two. Now there was even more justification for Narut to reclaim the rage and noken from Aoi. He was a disgrace to Konaha and the Nadim Hokag. As the two men dashed into the forest, the Senjuir grinned and said, "Now they have no chance." The Senuir sped through the forest to catch up to the two men himself. And after another minute, he was within range. Jensen Shin Nojutsu illusion forest technique. This time, Narut used a lot of chakra to affect most of the forest. And without a clue, Ao and Rya were both caught in Naruto's jutsu. Knowing that he needed a much stronger genjutsu than what he used against the weak group of men, he gathered his chakra and prepared. The genjutsu technique known as Megan Nu Kokoniu no jutsu, double false surroundings technique. The good thing about the double layer genjutsu was that he could trap two people in different levels of the illusion. The first level was easier to escape. So Narut trapped Aoi inside it. And with the Jensen Shin Nojutsu, there was no way that Aoi could escape. Nar needed to make sure that Aoi and Rya stayed inside the forest so he would have an advantage. So his illusion made both men travel around in circles. Rya was a more complex case, but since he was trapped in the second layer of the Jenjutsu, it should be sufficient to hold him. The double- layered jenjutsu also allowed him to make it impossible for Aoi and Rya to see one another, even if they were directly in front of one another. "All right," looking down from the top of the forest, Narudo saw Aoi running in circles in his own forest. "It's time to retrieve the Senju clan's sword," he said. The Junan did not sense any kind of distortion around him, so he should not have been in a Jenjutsu, and he had no idea what was happening. The man clutched his blade firmly in his hand as he ran from tree to tree. He had to take Rya back to his village or he would die either at the hands of Ryer by his own leader if he returned to aim empty-handed. Aoy was attempting to run to the other end of the forest in order to plan a surprise attack on Rya. But for some reason, the small forest seemed to go on forever. [ __ ] As he started to feel anxious, the Aim Nin cursed, "Where the [ __ ] am I?" Quote. Aoi also searched the forest for his men, but neither his jennon nor the 20 of Rya's men were there, and the forest was suddenly devoid of all life, leaving him with an endless view of trees upon trees everywhere he looked. In an attempt to calm himself as much as possible, always stopped in his tracks and grunted his teeth. "Even Rya is nowhere in sight, he should have caught up to me by now." "This has to be some kind of jenjutsu," he said to himself, focusing all of his chakra on his body. Kai as his chakra blasted out in a wave. The man cried out, but nothing happened and he remained trapped. What on earth is this? Quote, "You know a sanjun really shouldn't lose his cool so easily." Narut grinned down at the man and said, "I got to say that watching you freak out was pretty funny. It is hard to believe that you are listed as a ranked ninja in the Konaha bingo book." A soft chuckle came from above where Aoi was standing. Glaring at the blonde young man, Aoi leapt back and exclaimed, "Who the hell are you?" Quote. Jumping to a branch on Aoi's level, Narut said, "Well, I really don't see the point of telling a soon to die man my name. Why are you even after me? I've never seen you in my life." The aim nin grunted, gripping his sword tightly. The man continued to glare at Narudo and said, "Are you from Konaha?" Quote dot dot dot. As he removed his nodi from his hip, the senju became emotionless and began to approach Aoi. You have tainted the legacy of someone who I respect a great deal and you will pay for it. The young man muttered dangerously. With your life, Aoi was aware that he would die if he didn't strike first. [ __ ] you, cried the man as he charged the Rajin Noken with his chakra and aimed a kendo slash upon Naruto's head. I will not die today. The yellow lightning sword sliced through Naruto<unk>'s head and cut him in half. Aoy only smiled to himself as he stared down at the dead body of the blonde man, but suddenly the body phased out of existence. What? Dot dot dot. Ryu looked back immediately as a voice behind him murmured. Futon Kazakiri no jutsu. When dealing with traitors of his village and clan, Narut showed no mercy. Aoi stared into Naruto's cold blue eyes as he watched the latter slash his blade down upon him. Slowly but surely, Aoi's vision began to split in two, and he eventually lost consciousness as his body gave way and was sliced in half. Nar closed his eyes as blood spilled from the open body of the man who betrayed his home, and he reached out and caught the Rajin Noken in his hand. The exuri ninja had experienced more life-threatening situations than most other ninja in the elemental nations, and he was able to maintain composure even in the most trying circumstances. Rya had been going through the same thing as Aoi, but he was much more composed and reserved. However, because he was trapped in a very powerful genjutsu, even Rya would eventually lose it. However, no one was aware that the man had a secret weapon. Renara, how does our current environment appear? After he had gone another mile through the forest, the man asked. On Rya's back, there was a tiny hump that shook, and his clothes soon gave way, revealing a small boy with red eyes, short purple hair that was parted in the middle, a light purple shirt with black stripes on either side, a sash around his waist, dark-colored pants, and sandals. He also had a slightly feminine appearance. With his eyes glowing a somber red, the boy climbed onto Rya's shoulder and said, "I'm not sure, Rya Sama. Everything is covered in a very thick layer of chakra. I can't see anything. We are definitely in a genjutsu, but I have nowhere enough chakra to break it, the boy said. As he glared around, Rya snarled foully. Who the hell could have done this? There's no way that Aoi would be able to do something like this. Suddenly, Renar tensed up and turned to face his right. Rya sama, someone is coming from over there. The boy said urgently, pointing toward the direction. Rya responded instantly and swung his blades in the proper direction. The two were almost trapped in the jenjutsu at a steady speed when a young man with a chilly face appeared from the trees. He had a nodi strapped to his hip, but in his hand he held the sealed state of the raan noken. A shadow seemed to block the little sunlight in the forest. So you are the one who trapped me inside this genjutsu. I must say that you are very powerful for someone so young. Rya eyed the legendary blade in the young man's hands and squinted at him while holding his blades high. I take it you have already dealt with that annoying insect from a megaker. Quote dot dot dot. Well, that is one way of putting it, but I prefer to see it as one insect down and one to go. Narudo said with a slight smirk as he leaned to one side. With a gleam in his eyes, the ex-cury ninja muttered, "I would normally say to one your age that you shouldn't be so arrogant to someone like me." Rya laughed amusedly as he glanced dangerously at Narudo, saying, "But I have a feeling that you are not a normal young man. The fact that you are able to cast a genjutsu that even Renara can't repel suggests that you are one with great power." Squinting at Narut, Renar said, "Rya sama, I can't see this man's chakra. He must be manipulating our surroundings in the genjutsu." Renar nodded at his master's words. "Oh kid, I will enjoy your funeral." Rya sneered. He is the man who cast the genjutsu. That means if our chakra can't break this illusion we have to kill this man to escape. Narudo shook his head and looked down at Rya saying your spirit had been crushed by your experience. You are no longer the rajin of Kuritaker. You are a mere shadow of your former self. The senu muttered you really are insane. You are already a broken man. As Narut gripped his blade firmly, Rya snarled at him saying in any case you will still perish at my hands. Tell me what he did. The man cried, leaping to his feet with his blades raised. Quote, Rya was about to strike Narut with his ka, but the latter raised his own nodi to block the blow. Nar then kicked Rya in the side, but the man twisted his body to avoid the blow. Rya landed back on another branch, his blades ready to block and strike. Rya used the branch as a springboard to launch his body at Narudo, his blades in front, and he slashed down to destroy the tree Narudo was standing on. Naruto leapt to avoid the blow. And as he fell, he struck Rya with his blade. Futon Kazakiri no jutsu. From Naruto's blade, an unseen wind blade shot in Rya's direction. As he tugged on Rya's back, Remar<unk>'s eyes grew wide, leaped to the right. Quote. As he was trying to avoid it by jumping to the right, the wind blade cut through Rya's shoulder, and blood sprayed out of the wound quickly. Nar then appeared next to the falling body and delivered a devastating blow to the man's side, sending him crashing to the ground. Rya let out a cry of pain as blood poured from his mouth, but he saw Nar appear next to him again, this time without an attack, having grabbed onto Renara and yanked him out of his clothing. The boy kicked and screamed, "Give me a break." Quote. The Senju looked at the young boy and said, "Be quiet, kid. I am only doing what is good for you." Narudo sighed as he landed on a branch. If you keep following someone like him, you will end up dead in a ditch somewhere. Quote, I don't care. I love Rya Sama, said Renara, his eyes welling with tears. The boy's words startled the Senju, who was momentarily stunned before shaking his head and saying, Just stay here, kid. Narudo placed a seal on the boy's chest and completely restrained his movements, preventing the boy from moving at all. Rya glared up at Narudo as he rose from the tiny crater left by his fall. "Let Remar go, Raiden." "Ikazuchi Noa," exclaimed the man as he leapt up at Narudo after discovering a fresh surge of power. The man aimed his blades at Nar and slashed in his direction, and a lightning bolt struck Narut as lightning unexpectedly burst from the sky and landed on Rya's blades. Narut glared at Rya and made his own hand signs as the Senju<unk>s eyes widened at the unexpected attack and flinched back in response, forcing the lightning bolt to miss its target and strike a branch that was in the way. Sweden swirid and no jutsu water style water dragon bullet. Water collected from the trees and the moist air and shaped itself into a dragon. The dragon then fell upon the forest where Rya was and completely flooded the ground, resembling a bullet of destruction. The heavy water nearly crushed Rya's body, but he was still upright. Haha, that won't kill me. Smeared the man almost psychotically. "Die!" Rya threw his blades in all directions, and lightning struck the forest's highest points. As soon as he hit the ground, Nar sped towards Rya as quickly as he could, and in less than a second, he was within a foot of the man. The Senju glared into Rya's eyes and flared his chakra. Narudo was jumping from branch to branch, each one lower than before as the lightning struck down the tall trees. With a solid fist to Rya's stomach, Narudo muttered, "You are a disease." The exuri ninja was launched into the air like a ragd doll, and he was sent through numerous trees until he was lodged into a rock. However, much to Naruto's surprise, Rya's body began to glow, and soon he was surrounded by lightning. Rya had a bloody grin on his face. Rya was shocked to feel the extreme pain from just one punch. He was unaware that he had been struck with the legendary strength of sununade of the sonnine lightning strike armor. The man was in great pain with nearly all of his ribs broken and severe internal bleeding. Blood was leaking from his numerous wounds and his hands were shaking from the high levels of adrenaline in his blood. He he time to die boy. Naruto's eyes narrowed as he felt Rya's chakra level rise sharply. Reo Utage No Iikazuchi Lightning Burial Banquet of Lightning. Rya raised his twin blades into the air and then drove them as hard as he could into the ground, followed by lightning, which caused the area's foundations to shatter under the sheer force of the lightning. The forest was being destroyed by the lightning, so Narut hurled his blade down to the ground where it stabbed into the ground. The Senju landed on his blade and used it as an insulator from the lightning. Narut hurried into the air to avoid the blast, but the blast radius was too great to jump away from. The Senju glared at Rya, who was staring back at him with wild rage in his eyes. I will show you the true power of the Rajin. Noken, muttered Narut, holding the Nadims blade in a Batjitsu stance. When it is used by a true heir of the Senju clan as he poured his chakra into the blade, Naruto's body suddenly started to glow a soft white. Getsa, the forest trees all started to glow. the same white as Narut and the chakra that had accumulated there was almost visible to the unaded eye. Quote, the Senju performed a complete 180° turn in front of the Rajin Noken's body by swinging him horizontally. A 100 meters ahead of Narut, the sound of thunder reverberated through the forest as a lightning bolt sliced through everything. The forest was mostly destroyed and the grounds were split due to the clashing powers that fought in the forest. But Narut sighed and released the genjutsu that was nearby and most of the devastation was still visible. Rya remained motionless with a manic grin on his face, but slowly blood began to flow from his torso and soon his body broke down and was sliced in half. The man fell to the ground in a bloody heap, motionless and lifeless. Renar<unk>'s face was emotionless, tears streaming from his eyes. Quote dot dot dot. The boy climbed down the tree he was on slowly and disappeared into the distance, never to be seen again. The Senju then took the ka twin balds of Rya and sealed them inside his private scroll. He would use the legendary blades after Nar approached the dead body of Rya and sealed him into a scroll, demonstrating to the village that Konaha had saved them from Rya. After hours of travel, Jeriah arrived at Katabami Kinszen and began searching for his son. In the meantime, Jeriah had been in the village for 10 minutes or so, and he was walking around trying to sense his son's chakra. Where is Narudo? He should be here by now. The father thought aloud as he rubbed the back of his head. Narudo uttered the words, "Hey, Tu Chan, it took you long enough from above a building." The white-haired man pointed at his son's new blade with trembling hands. And when Jeriah looked up, he saw his son grinning down at him with a blade that the son believed he would never see again attached to his hip. Is it dot dot dot? With a laugh, Narut leapt down to his father and said, "Tuchan, you missed a lot. I have a lot to tell you." This was it for today.
