Chapter 276 : Prelude!!

With Black Zetsu's demise, Linley fell to the ground and panted as he was dead tired while the Uzukage looked confused at everyone around and wondered why he was chained along with others...

Mito went to help the Uzukage before she released everyone under the influence of her chains while they slowly questioned their whereabouts...

After taking care of them and resolving any issues that came up to them everyone returned to their villages that is if they still existed...

For some however who had clear memories of them being raided sealed asylum from Konoha or other major villages...

From then on a meeting with the Kage was formed to deal with the aftermath...

In this was the only ones who had died was the Third Raikage making his son A the official fourth Raikage...

It could be said that in these two wars, only two villages changed Kages...

Other than that apart from keeping the spots they had created for the war active as trading between various small villages under their country and of course for their own use, nothing major came up...

During the Year <NE 47> after everything somewhat stabilised...

Might Guy (11) become Chūnin. Obito Uchiha (11) become Chūnin. Genma Shiranui (13) become Chūnin.

Later that year in August Temari was born.

Following up in the next few months Asuma Sarutobi (12) become Chūnin.

And finally, later that Year Rin Nohara (11) become Chūnin.

Shizune and Kurenai along with Linley threw a party to celebrate her promotion which brought tears to her eyes...

Following on year <NE 48>!!

Haku was born and one of the Ghosts under his influence that was spread through the world reported that she was a female...

He had actually given instructions to learn the gender of Haku as he would have banged his head into the wall knowing that he turned to be a male...

In summer, Kurenai Yūhi becomes Chūnin, promoting Linley to throw another party at his wonderful Kunoichi while Shizune and Rin grinned at her...

Being together with Linley for two years they started to understand why he picked them and when the three of them were alone they often talked about it...

What surprised Linley however was that he had so many things on his plate that he completely forgot Anko was a student and then it slipped his mind to take her under his wings...

By the time he learned this Orochimaru had become her sensei as she graduated Anko Mitarashi (10) becomes Genin.

Finally later that year, Shizune (13) becomes Chūnin.

This called for another party and if you add the parties he threw for his daughters and sons each year, he was living quite lively...

It was now year <NE 49>!!!

Although many things remained the same as Linley remembered them surprisingly the fate of the world still moves forward...

At the beginning of the year, Tayuua and Tenten were born...

Sasori abducts and kills Sandaime Kazekage, for reason unknown while he was branded and hunted down before vanishing from the world...

This puzzled Linley as he knew his parents were alive this time since Sakumo helped them previously...

Kabuto Yakushi (6) is found by Nonō (23) and begins to live at the Konoha orphanage.

Then later on Kakashi Hatake becomes Jōnin, and on a mission, Obito Uchiha awakens his Sharingan...

When he learned of it he was shocked as Obito was supposed to be with Minato originally but with his intervention he wasn't...

Only later did he learned that Asuma and Ibiki almost died at the hands of a missing-nin and Obito saved them by awaken his Sharingan...
