85 Week in Konoha

Hidden Leaf Village. Uzumaki Mansion.

In the living room of the Uzumaki mansion were all its residents, Ray, Kushina, Mikoto, and Tsunade.

Ray was sitting on a large couch while calm Tsunade lay in his arms. Due to the recent crying, her eyes had not yet returned to normal and were still red and swollen.

Mikoto and Kushina were sitting across from the couple and watching Ray carefully.

"Where are we moving to?" Mikoto asked.

Kushina and Mikoto held their breath waiting for an answer, they were very interested in which of the hidden villages would be their new playground.

Even Tsunade raised her head and looked at Ray with a questioning look. She had already decided that she would leave Konoha and accompany Ray and her little sisters.

"We're moving to the Village Hidden by a Waterfall," Ray answered while looking at the girls.

"Village Hidden by a Waterfall? Why this Village? We could go back to New Uzushio and take over the whole Land of Tea," Kushina asked while putting her chin in her hand.

"New Uzushio!?" unknowingly cried out Tsunade.

Ray stroked her head and nodded.

"Mmm. You didn't think the Uzumaki clan really died?" Ray asked with a smile.

"Of course I thought the Uzumaki clan really died! Everyone thought so! This is what the whole world believed and continues to believe. I heard that Kenshin-sama blew up the whole village and destroyed most of the combined army of Kumo and Kiri!" sitting on Ray's lap and putting her hands on his shoulders, Tsunade shouted indignantly.

"Hehehe. Ray-nii-chan, as always, was right, and thanks to his plan we were able to deceive the whole world," Kushina chuckled while covering her mouth with her palm.

"Hnnn, as expected from my Danna-sama," Mikoto said while crossing her arms over her chest and smiling proudly.

Tsunade put her index fingers on her temples and began massaging them.

*Sigh*

"If I want to keep my youth and nerves, then I must learn to ignore all this shocking news," Tsunade said with a sigh.

Mikoto and Kushina got up from their seats and approached Tsunade. They smiled and patted her head comfortingly.

"There, there, Tsuna-nee, you'll definitely get used to it," Kushina said softly.

"Nnn. Once upon a time, I was just like you," Mikoto said while looking at Tsunade with an expressionless on her face.

*Sigh*

"I need to drink and eat delicious food, otherwise I won't be able to calm down and relax," Tsunade said with a sigh.

Hearing her words, Kushina and Mikoto could not help smiling, after which they moved their eyes to Ray.

"So it means we are moving to the Village Hidden by a Waterfall. But why did you choose this particular village? Is there any reason for this?" Mikoto asked with a questioning look on her face.

Kushina also wondered what was special about this village.

[Hmmm. If I remember correctly, only one road leads to this village and the village itself is at the bottom of a large crater. Due to this location and a natural barrier, Takigakure has never been successfully invaded... And all this despite the fact that it is surrounded by four other countries. No, Ray would not choose this village because of these little things.] frowning, Kushina thought to herself.

Ray saw her cute, frowning expression and gently poked a finger between her eyebrows.

"You probably don't know this, but when a person frowns, he speeds up the appearance of wrinkles. You don't want your skin to look like the skin of a perverted mon... *cough* like the skin of the Third Hokage?" Ray said with a smile on his face.

Kushina smiled brightly and nodded. She decided not to think about the reason Ray chose the Village Hidden by a Waterfall, and just go with the flow.

"Mmm, you're right! I doubt that in this world there is at least one person who wants to look like this Perverted Monkey," Kushina said loudly while putting her hands on her waist.

"My sister, you're absolutely right," Mikoto said with a serious expression on her face.

"I'm sure that if the Hokage had heard your conversation, he would have suffered a heart attack or stroke. He would have been too angry because of such blatant disrespect. Hehehehehehe," Tsunade chuckled while snuggling her head against Ray's chest.

"In any case, Tsuna-nee, you forgot something important," going up to Tsunade and poking on her cheek, Kushina said.

Tsunade raised her head from Ray's chest and looked at Kushina with a questioning look.

"Eh, did I forget something important?" Tsunade muttered inquiringly.

"Hn. You forgot about your little brother," Mikoto said calmly.

But for Tsunade, these words were like a bomb explosion. She immediately jumped from Ray's knees to her feet and began to panic.

"No, no, no! I'm such a bad big sister! How could I forget about Nawaki!" Tsunade screamed while looking at the floor.

Ray saw her action and sighed loudly.

*Sigh*

"You have nothing to worry about, Mikoto put Nawaki to <Tsukuyomi> and he has been sleeping since the day he died,"

Ray reassured her.

Tsunade stopped and looked at Mikoto, who nodded in the affirmative.

"Tsukuyomi distorts the perception of time, so he will think that no more than two hours have passed since his death," Mikoto added.

Hearing what Mikoto said, Tsunade calmed down and sat on a soft sofa, and then sunk in her thoughts.

[I need to tell Nawaki the whole truth. But how to do that? Knowing him, he will refuse to leave Konoha and will want to change it. Should I let him stay in this village or should I forcibly take him with me?]

Tsunade did not know what to do and looked at Ray. She wanted to know his opinion on this matter.

"Ray, what should I do? I'm sure Nawaki will refuse to leave Konoha and want to stay here," Tsunade asked while looking at Ray with hope in her eyes.

Ray did not like Nawaki, he was too much like the dumb and dreamy Naruto. And unlike Naruto, Nawaki does not and never will have plot armor and a chakra generator in his stomach. But, he was Tsunade's little brother, so Ray had to give an impartial answer.

"Tell him the truth and let him make his own choices. He is a shinobi and the future head of the Senju clan. No matter how rude it is, he grew up to be such a small, dreamy shit just because of you and your clan. Your overprotection, excessive supervision, and love have made him who he is now.

Just look at Kushina and Nawaki, then compare their identities... and do not forget that Kushina is two years younger than Nawaki. You and your family did not even tell him about who the ninjas are and what their work is and the meaning of existence. Children in the Uzumaki clan learn about it after their fifth birthday. Children must know that ninjas are not heroes and a bunch of good altruists, but impartial killers who must be ready to kill any target, regardless of their age and gender. Does Nawaki know this? No, he does not know. He is a child living in illusions... a child spoiled by his family.

This is the second time we are discussing your little brother. Talk to him, tell him the whole truth, try to influence his stupid personality and worldview. If he does not change, then he will not be able to survive in this world. Or ask him to give up being a ninja. As the Prince of the Uzumaki clan, I will give him permission to live in New Uzushio and restore the Senju clan there," Ray said coldly while looking into Tsunade's eyes with his dragon eyes.

His every word pierced Tsunade's heart like sharp spears. Ray did not say what Tsunade wanted to hear… he said what she needed to hear.

Throughout Ray's speech, Tsunade's expression changed as often as the mood of the pregnant tsundere.

But no one laughed at it, Mikoto and Kushina knew what Ray was trying to do, so they just silently watched from the side.

Ray raised his hand palm up and a vial of gold liquid appeared on it.

Tsunade immediately drew attention to Ray's hand, she felt an inexplicable desire to drink the contents of this vial.

Mikoto and Kushina already knew what it was, so their reaction was not the same as Tsunade. But they were a little surprised that Ray was ready to give "it" to Tsunade's little brother.

"This is my essence of blood, or rather, only one drop of weakened and diluted essence of blood. After drinking it, any mortal creature will instantly break all their limits and reveal the full potential of their bloodline. This is my last gift to your little brother," Ray calmly said while holding out his hand with the bottle to Tsunade.

Tsunade raised her trembling hand and gently took a small vial. She was not stupid and knew that Ray did not like people like her little brother... But for her sake, he swallowed his pride and gave her such a priceless item.

Tsunade simply could not help but feel happiness, love, and warmth in her chest. She smiled tenderly and leaned toward Ray, and then kissed him on the lips. This was the first time Tsunade kissed Ray. She was always shy and insecure because of the difference in their age. Tsunade thought that a man like Ray deserves young beauties, not women who are twelve years older than him.

"Kyaaaaaaa. Shotacon! Shotacon! Shotacon! Mikoto, what shall we do!?" Kushina screamed while hiding behind Mikoto.

Mikoto crossed her arms and smiled dazzlingly.

"IT'S FINE NOW. WHY? BECAUSE I AM HERE!"

Seeing this little performance, the entire right side of Ray's face began to twitch. He already began to regret that he had created a device with which the girls could view his memories, and therefore watch anime, movies, and recordings of his battles.

[How? I do not understand how? Just don't tell me that the influence of Astoria and Zesshi was able to break the barrier around this world, and then corrupted the mind of my little girls!? Hell, they are the real Otaku Goddesses. I just wanted to protect Mikoto and Kushina, but... I was defeated... again.] covering his face with both hands, Ray thought to himself.

Due to the embarrassing actions of Mikoto and Kushina, Tsunade blushed and ran away from this room like a little girl.

Ray just got up from his seat and headed toward the bedroom. All he wanted to do was collapse onto the bed and fall into a deep sleep. This day was too long and exhausting.

"Mendokuse", Ray muttered tiredly while looking into the void.

As soon as these words left his mouth, all the men of the Nara clan felt an unknown threat. They felt that someone wants to steal their catchphrase and famous laziness!

[What a drag.] The men of the Nara clan could not help but think...

_____

A week later.

Seven days have passed since the day Tsunade and Ray returned to Konoha. All this time, Tsunade spent with her little brother. As they thought, Nawaki refused to leave Konoha and said that he wanted to become stronger and change the village. Tsunade silently accepted his decision and wished him good luck. As Ray said, she was supposed to give him the opportunity to spread his wings and feel the real life.

Nawaki drank the essence of blood that Ray had given him and unlocked the full potential of the Senju bloodline.

By unlocking the potential of his bloodline, theoretically, he could reach the power level of the Senju clan founder's, Otsutsuki Asura's.

Nawaki's body completely changed and became the sage body. With the ability to safely use purified natural energy, Nawaki awakened his Mokuton. A true Mokuton, and not that miserable likeness that Yamato will possess in the future.

Due to changes in the body and natural energy, Nawaki's total power grew to the level of middle Kage, and now he just needed to learn to control all this power and learn the techniques of his two grandfathers. Then Konoha will have a new incredibly strong shinobi, who, ironically, is the grandson of the previous God of Shinobi.

Ray and the girls did not distract Tsunade and went about their own important business.

Over the past seven days, they sneaked into all the clans and copied all their jutsus, hidens, and secret documents. They also collected the blood of all kekkei genkai users in Konoha and robbed the Hokage, his clan, the elders of Konoha, and Root. They stole everything they could pick up and carry away... even Danzo's cane and Hiruzen's pipe...

As Kushina and Mikoto said: "We can just throw away or burn unnecessary things. The main thing is that they do not remain in the hands of Hiruzen and his happy three friends."

Ray was proud of his future wives. After all, they acted like real dragons. Although, they have not yet received a pink mark and have not become Ray's mates and his full-fledged wives. They were not worried about this. In the end, it was only a matter of time. Kushina and Mikoto knew that Ray would eat them as soon as they reached the right age...

______

Gate of Konoha.

In front of the large metal gates of Konoha stood 5 people, three girls, and two guys.

These people were Ray's group and Tsunade's little brother, Nawaki.

Nawaki was not tall and did not look older than his real age. Well... he is a twelve-year-old human, and not a twelve-year-old Dragon God, like Ray.

Nawaki had short light-brown hair, hazel eyes, and there was a strange, natural blush on his cheeks. He was wearing a gray male kimono with a Senju pattern on his back and wooden geta as footwear. Nawaki's facial features were damn similar to those of Naruto.

[Did this lazy author take the Type-Moon path and just change the color scheme and character name? Haaa. Whatever. I hope this child can become the Fourth Hokage and take control of Konoha. Although... it will be very difficult. I doubt that Hiruzen will want to transfer the title to the Hokage in the hands of a  Senju clan's member. If he does, he will deprive himself and his friends of all political power. As a member of the clan of merchants and speculators, he will not commit such a stupid and reckless act.] looking at Nawaki, Ray thought to himself.

"Brother-in-law, please take care of my nee-san! Although she's twelve years older than you, she's Senju and will keep her youth, so do not worry about this! I'm counting on you, brother-in-law! And, thanks for saving my life and for your priceless gift. I swear that I will change and cease to be a dreamer and a self-confident fool. I promise that the next time we meet I will be the Hokage," Nawaki said loudly while bowing to Ray, after which, he turned around and quickly ran deep into the village.

"Ho. Interesting. His character got a little better than he was before his "death". Hmm. Should I kill and resurrect him a few more times?" putting his right hand on his chin, Ray thought.

"He sold you," looking at Tsunade, Kushina said with a blank expression on her face.

"I totally agree," Mikoto added with the same expression.

Tsunade was looking at the back of the runaway Nawaki with a stoic expression on her face. She pretending to be completely calm, but could not restrain the twitching of the corner of her lips.

"Shall we?" Ray asked while looking at Mikoto, Kushina, and Tsunade.

The girls nodded affirmatively and Ray snapped his fingers.

*Snap*

Ray's group disappeared under the shocked gaze of the ninjas and civilians who were near the gates of Konoha. But they did not care, because they would no longer return to this village.

Most likely...
