15 Chapter 14:
Author's Notes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Away from Konoha a few hours later, Kenichi returned to where his mother was carrying Kushina unconscious and made the house emerge.
The moment the house rose and Kenichi entered, he saw a furious Tsunade looking at him.
-How dare you, Kenichi? (Tsunade).
- I wasn't going to let you carry the burden of killing the people you love. (Kenichi).
- If you want you can hate me, no problem while you're safe, and well, I'm ready to endure your hatred. (Kenichi) said calmly as he looked Tsunade in the eye.
Looking into his son Tsunade's eyes, he could see that he really had the determination to endure her hatred, as long as it was for his well-being.
In more than 700 years of life, Kenichi had experienced overwhelming loneliness, and when his mother died in his previous life, a hole was formed in his heart.
If it wasn't for Naomi consoling him, he wouldn't know how to get back on his feet.
In this life, he finally felt the hole being filled slowly, Tsunade's affection and love finally helped him fill the void that Inko had left.
Inko Midoriya would always be the mother of Izuku Midoriya, this would never change no matter what happens.
Just like Janice Smith will always be James Smith's mother.
In this life, Kenichi refused to allow his mother to be wounded by others, if she ever wants to die of old age so, because no more than this donates to him, Kenichi would never remove Tsunade's free will.
If he sees that she's going to make a bad decision, at a bad time, he'll stop her, otherwise, the right of choice is hers about when her time will come.
But when it comes to protecting her from external evils, Kenichi is ready for Tsunade to ode every fiber of his being.
Going to the son Tsunade had an angry expression when she approached and took Kenichi in his arms.
- Stupid child, I would never hate you, I'm angry that you put yourself in danger, but I would never hate you. (Tsunade) said kindly.
As Kenichi so kindly embraced and felt the love of his mother's embrace, Kenichi returned the hug and said:
I love you, Mom, and I'm not going to let anyone hurt you, that's a promise. (Kenichi) said while shedding sincere tears.
If any of Izuku's enemies or James saw his current state now, they would turn around in the graves while they would say:
"You bastard, you didn't have the Kind feelings, when you killed everything in the way of your goal, including me, now you cry for a hug, go fuck yourself your son of a bitch"
After some time, Tsunade walked away from the embrace and looked coolly at Kenichi.
But my love for you doesn't change what you did, young man, and you're going to be punished accordingly, for the next three years you won't be able to eat Ramen. (Tsunade).
By the time Tsunade said this, Kenichi had an appearance where it looked like they had ripped half of his soul out.
Mom, do you have to be so tough? (Kenichi) said with a forced smile.
You left me unconscious next to Shizune, sealed the whole house, and set up formations that prevented Shizune and I from leaving to help you. (Kenichi).
- Am I forgetting to add anything else? (Tsunade).
Sighing Kenichi said.
- I'm going to take three years. (Kenichi) said resigning.
Kenichi had become an addict to fatty foods, among them the pig Ramen was his favorite.
His present body desired highly caloric things, and the Ramen of Tsunade was on another level in this matter.
The taste was also something on another level.
So when Tsunade forbade him to eat for three years, Kenichi was really impacted by it.
Yet he took it back.
Looking at Tsunade's son in a sad way said:
-Kenichi, did you finish the job? (Tsunade).
-Not exactly, I spared Jiraya, Fugaku, Sakumo, Minato, and Orochimaru. (Kenichi).
-Why is that? (Tsunade).
-Because I know that if I killed Jiraya you would suffer a lot, Orochimaru because he was useful, Minato and Fugaku because of Kushina who despite having betrayed our trust, was tricked into doing so. (Kenichi).
-And Sakumo because Konoha will need it more than ever now. (Kenichi).
- Why would Konoha need him more than ever? (Tsunade).
-Because I anniquiized all the elders of the Senju clan, along with the 3rd Hokage, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado with almost all the chiefs of the Clans of Konoha and 2,000 Elite Shinobi. (Kenichi).
-Konoha still lost their Jinchuriki, the result of the attack this time will practically condemn Konoha, and in the next war, the village will need reinforcements. (Kenichi).
- I thought you didn't care about the village. (Shizune).
-And I do not care, but to fulfill my goals, I need a strong military force, and between the villages would be better if I took over Konoha. (Kenichi).
-And what makes you so confident in taking over the village, especially after you've killed so many influential people? (Tsunade).
- Daimyo from Fireland. (Kenichi).
-A war is on the horizon and it will explode in at most another 5 years, in this war will be Konoha against all other great villages. (Kenichi).
-In Konoha's current situation winning is impossible, which means that The Land of Fire will have to give way a lot of territories. (Kenichi).
-However, this can be avoided if Konoha has enough warlike power at hand, for example, a young man who massacred 2,000 of the Elite forces of Konoha by himself. (Kenichi).
-Inevitably the Daimyo will come to me, for without me the prosperity he has currently will be passed on, and that if he manages to keep his head. (Kenichi).
-And when he comes, I'll be declared Hokage, once that happens I'm going to reform Konoha to be what I should be. (Kenichi) said with all the calm in the world.
-What are your goals? (Tsunade).
-Peace. (Kenichi).
- I want eternal and lasting peace. (Kenichi).
-I noticed this when being poisoned, but our current society is corrupted, the correction has to be made. (Kenichi).
Why do you say society is corrupted? (Shizune).
Because she's Shizune. (Kenichi).
-Humanity has in hand an amazing tool, which could solve all the resource problems we possess, but instead of using it for that, we use it to wage wars. (Kenichi).
-Chackra, is an amazing tool, and using it, we can have more abundant crops, meats with more nutrients, improve health, improve our bodies, our minds, prolong our life expectants and the list of benefits continues. (Kenichi).
But instead of using that wonderful gift with which most people are born, it is used to make stupid and senseless wars. (Kenichi).
It's ridiculous. (Kenichi).
- But not everyone is born with Chackra. (Shizune).
-Those who are born without, can receive new Chackra networks from those who have them, there are documents and techniques that prove it. (Kenichi).
-And those who are born with little talent in handling Chackra can increase reserves and skills with hard training. (Kenichi).
-You are a perfect example of this, you were not born with your current Chackra reserves, you have them because you trained. (Kenichi).
If people weren't being too selfish, they'd realize how well Chackra can do. (Kenichi).
-But unfortunately, people aren't going to change unless they're forced to do that, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. (Kenichi).
-I'm going to force changes in people, so I'm going to become the Hokage of Konoha and end this era before creating a new one. (Kenichi).
What was it? (Shizune).
- The Shinobi Age. (Kenichi).
-As long as the Shinobi exist, there will never be true peace, for one simple reason, the Shinobi are murderers. (Kenichi).
-And while this profession is present inevitably they continued in the cycle of hatred, for whenever a Shinobi kills a person who has loved ones, one more person is added to the cycle of endless hatred. (Kenichi).
-The only way to break this cycle is to stop his cause. (Kenichi).
- It may be difficult, but I'm going to make it happen. (Kenichi) said with calm eyes.
Tsunade seeing the son said:
- You're in any way that what you want to do is something bordering on the impossible, don't you? (Tsunade).
-If you spoke in the time of the war-war clans, that the Uchiha and the Senju would come together to create a village, people would say that this was impossible. (Kenichi).
-If you told Hiruzen that a boy who isn't 1/4 his age would kill him along with another 2,000 elite Shinobi without a scratch, he would have said it was impossible. (Kenichi).
-If you said that a single Kunoichi could change the course of the Second Ninja War, everyone would say it's impossible, but you're living proof that it can happen. (Kenichi).
-Impossible is a word that exists to be challenged, one thing is only impossible until someone go ahead and does. (Kenichi).
-No matter the season will always have those who choose the easy way and say it is impossible, and those who roll up their sleeves and challenge the unknown. (Kenichi).
-Many people let failure reach the head, and give up without having done everything in their power, which to me is ridiculous, if a person defines something as impossible it closes a path full of opportunities for itself. (Kenichi).
-Of course, there are things that are impossible. (Shizune).
-Name one of them. (Kenichi).
-Bring the dead back to life. (Shizune).
-It is not impossible, there is a Jutsu called Edo-Tensei that brings the dead back, if the definition is the person walking among us while maintaining their memories then this Jutsu works to bring others back to life. (Kenichi).
-I have not yet studied the technique deep, but I believe that with the right combination of techniques it is possible to bring someone back to life completely without consequences. (Kenichi).
-Flying; (Shizune).
-The third Tsuchikage, just like the Second can fly. (Kenichi).
- Give life to inanimate objects. (Shizune).
-Ink is an inanimate object and there are techniques for drawings to come to life. (Kenichi).
Listening to Kenichi, Shizune wanted to find something that was impossible, but Kenichi effectively slammed the issues.
Tsunade who was listening to Kenichi didn't know what to think.
Since the poisoning incident, Kenichi had become more mature and ruthless.
Looking at Kenichi, Tsunade said:
- Son, your view of the world is getting dangerous. (Tsunade)
-It's not a question of being a dangerous mother's sight, I simply simplify the complicated into simple things. (Kenichi)
-I saw the children around me growing up and only saw purity, when I looked at the adults who tried to kill me for they did, I just saw filth. (Kenichi)
-People should be pure, without evil, without malice, but instead, as they grow this purity is lost, this is due to the corrupt. (Kenichi)
-Danzo, Hiruzen, Jiraya, Koharu, Orochimaru, and the rest were corrupt, and they corrupted the purity of the people around them. (Kenichi)
-I myself was a case like that, a few years ago my darkest thought, was how I could pick up some cookies in the kitchen without getting caught, now my darkest thoughts is how I can kill my enemies effectively. (Kenichi)
If I hadn't adapted to my circumstances you'd be dead, and I'd be a Guinea pig of Orochimaru, if I hadn't been corrupted, I would have died. (Kenichi)
-Corruption consumes purity to increase, one corrupt generates another, it is an endless cycle. (Kenichi)
-The cycle of hatred exists, because the cycle of corruption exists. (Kenichi)
-Correction is necessary because, at the pace at which we are, humanity will be exterminated by the hands of humanity itself. (Kenichi)
-It is simple logic, if humans are not controlled and put on the right path once again, humans will cease to exist. (Kenichi)
-Because of the waste that people keep insisting on committing, sooner or later the planet will die, and when that happens, the result will be catastrophic. (Kenichi)
Looking at the son Tsunade said:
-Kenichi is not your job to correct the world. (Tsunade)
If I don't, who will? (Kenichi)
Listening to Kenichi, Tsunade wanted to answer that someone else could do this, but she couldn't.
She knew that the changes Kenichi wanted to make should be made by someone who possessed overwhelming power.
Otherwise, they would fail.
And because of this, she sighed and said:
-I failed as a mother. (Tsunade)
- No, you didn't fail, all that happened is that you have a son too smart. (Kenichi) said quietly.
- Now we need to go, we have to go somewhere far from Konoha. (Kenichi) said as he began to walk out of the house.
Tsunade and Shizune followed knowing he was right.
Time Skip 6 years.
In Konoha, a man with white hair was frowning as he looked at the results the last war was having on them.
That was Sakumo Hatake the 4th Hokage of Konohagakure in the Sato.
Konoha was keeping the borders as best he could, but things were not favorable to the village or to The Land of Fire.
Mainly because Konoha was facing the other 4 villages simultaneously soon after losing all the Elite strength that the village had.
The War began three years after the Kenichi incident, which at least gave Konoha a chance to prepare.
However things were not going well, Fireland was losing territory and Konoha could do nothing to stop it.
If it wasn't for the new Daimyo, this war would be over by now.
Although young the new Daimyo Himiko showed that he was capable.
She assumed Daimyo's robe after ripping out her father's heart the day he tried to arrange an arranged marriage for her four years ago.
Himiko killed his father, the future suitor, along with an entire group of warriors from the Fire Nation temple, and 8 of the 12 guardians.
In addition to killing all the nobles who did not bow to her with their families.
The first thing she did as Daimyo, was to come to Konoha and check the situation, especially after she received a scroll with incriminating information against the entire Sarutobi clan.
To say that she was furious with what she read was no joke, and if it wasn't for Hiruzen already dead, she probably would have exterminated the entire Sarutobi clan.
Himiko gave the Sarutobi clan a chance to redeem themselves, for Hiruzen's actions, in this war they would have to gain merits if they failed to exterminate them.
The same applied to the Shimura clan.
Either they earned enough merits, or Himiko would shoot down to the last person with the Sarutobi and Shimura lineage in the nation.
Daimyo Himiko was known as the Blood Fairy.
Her beauty was something that could only be compared to her bloodlust
Himiko has already proved to be a frightening enemy, just counting well-trained troops, some Monks of the Temple of fire, and impeccable strategies, she was holding 3 of the war fronts and caused the casualty of many Shinobi enemies.
Her strategies were something that seemed almost supernatural, it was as if she could predict the future and know exactly how they would act before they did.
Her countermeasures worked in a spectacular way, however, the lack of decisive war power was being a factor that weighed heavily.
The Land of Fire no longer had Kyuubi, and the other nations discovered this, and when they did they began to use their Jinchurikis to their fullest extent.
Add that to several Rank S ninjas, and the situation becomes something desperate for Konoha.
Even with her perfect strategies all Himiko could do was delay the inevitable, so she was coming to Konoha to discuss a strategy to remedy the situation.
While thinking about it his secretary approached him and said:
Sakumo-Sama, Lady Himiko is here. (Unimportant Secretariat).
I understand, ask her to come in. (Sakumo).
As soon as he spoke to his secretary, he nodded and went to comply with his Hokage's order.
A few minutes later, Himiko entered the room always keeping a cold countenance.
- Hello Sakumo-San, how have you been doing? (Himiko).
-I'm moving on with life as far as possible Himiko-Sama. (Sakumo) said with a tired smile.
Looking at Sakumo, Himiko said:
-I will be direct Sakumo-San, the current situation is not going well for The Land of Fire, Konoha's lack of warpower is somewhat desperate. (Himiko).
-At this point, I only see a single alternative to turn the situation in our favor, but I know that you and most clans of Konoha will not like it. (Himiko).
So I'm going to ask you first, do you have any way to win this war, or at least tie it? (Himiko).
Looking at Himiko, Sakumo sighed and said:
In the current situation we don't have, the only way I can think was if we got Kyuubi back, but that's not feasible, because her current Jinchuriki is next to Kenichi and he won't let us take Kyuubi from Kushina. (Sakumo).
Looking at Sakumo, Himiko said:
Yes, my solution is very similar to yours, but I'm aiming at a bigger gun. (Himiko).
Listening to Himiko, Sakumo had a bad feeling when he said:
You don't mean him, do you? (Sakumo).
-Yes, I'm referring to Kenichi himself, if, at 6 years of age, he could already crush 2,000 Elite Shinobi, at 12 he must be much more powerful. (Himiko).
-If he can put Konoha on the ground in a single day, he can certainly do the same with other villages, thereby effectively turning the war in our favor. (Himiko).
-Himiko-Sama with all due respect, Kenichi is a Nukenin of Konoha, of SSS rank, he is the first in history to receive this rank, and has a reason for it. (Sakumo).
-He is uncontrollable, since he left Konoha, any and all bounty hunter or village that went after him, suffered horrible losses. (Sakumo).
-In fact, he could turn the war around, but he hates Konoha and he's the one who put us in this situation in the first place. (Sakumo).
-Hiring him as a mercenary is a mistake. (Sakumo).
I'm not talking about hiring him as a Sakumo mercenary, I'm talking about hiring him as Hokage. (Himiko).
-You can't be serious. (Sakumo) said incredulously.
-So I came to ask if I had other means for you to defeat the other villages because I know how difficult this can be for Konoha. (Himiko) said diplomatically.
- I honestly don't want to do this, but the current situation leaves me with no choice. (Himiko).
-If we lose this war, all shinobi clans in The Land of Fire will face a fate worse than death. (Himiko).
-Men will be slaves or will be killed, women will be used as incubators or sex slaves. (Himiko).
- The children will be brainwashed or killed. (Himiko).
And the list goes on. (Himiko).
-I honestly do not want to be a sex slave of other Daimyo, so if you can not present me with a viable solution or show results that are expected of Konoha, I will have to resort to making a pact with the devil for victory. (Himiko).
-So I'm going to ask you one more time, is there any way you can turn the tide of this war? (Himiko).
Looking at Himiko, Sakumo sighed when he said:
-No, if Kenichi hadn't taken the scroll from forbidden seals, there might be, but in the current situation, there's nothing I can do. (Sakumo).
- In that case, I have no choice. (Himiko).
-Prepare Konoha, as Kenichi will be returning as Hokage. (Himiko).
-Do you know where he is? (Sakumo) said shaking hands tightly.
He knew that most people in Konoha wouldn't like it at all, even after the truth about the matter came out, it's a fact that Kenichi had killed thousands of Konoha Shinobi.
Almost everyone among them had family and friends, and now Kenichi would return as Hokage of Konoha.
The situation could not be more complex.
-Yes, I know where he is. (Himiko).
-Kenichi is not hiding, he is currently in Tanzaku, and has bankrupted almost all the casinos in that city. (Himiko).
-Honestly, Kenichi doesn't care if we know where he is or not, he's too strong to pose any threat to him. (Himiko).
Listening to Himiko, Sakumo knew she was right, he will never forget the day Konoha tried to attack Kenichi, to this day he still has nightmares about it.
Kenichi killed 2,000 Shinobi in a moment.
Jiraya almost went into depression with what happened, Minato became an endless pit of hatred, Fugaku became paranoid.
Worst of all, Kenichi killed all the elders of the Senju clan and their supporters.
Their death was so brutal, it was an abomination.
The lightest case among them was an Elder who had his head ripped off and shoved up the elder's own ass in question.
The others suffered even more brutal deaths.
Kenichi's fame in Konoha could not be worse after he killed the Hokage, the Elders, the Jonin, and condemned Konoha to lose the current war.
And as much as Sakumo knew that Kenichi simply defended himself and his mother from an attack where the 3rd Hokage was wrong, he couldn't help but hate him.
The situation only reached this point because of Kenichi's existence itself, if he had not been born, none of the consequent events would have occurred.
And worst of all, Sakumo knew that when he came back, he'd finish what he started.
Kenichi wasn't the type to spare enemies, he would eliminate them efficiently.
Sakumo still remembers the expression the Six-Way Sage showed when he found out about the death of all the people he tried to save.
He would not let Kenichi spoil his plans with impunity, Sakumo remembers that day, as Kenichi calmly stated that Hagoromo had no way of dealing with him.
And Hagoromo had to accept quietly.
However Sakumo knew that the matter did not end there, Hagoromo would want to hit Kenichi, and if he could not defeat Kenichi he would try to kill those around him.
Sakumo knew that Himiko would not stop this plan, because of a spirit of the past that clearly will not help against threats to The Land of Fire.
-Lady Himiko, I ask you to reconsider, maybe instead of bringing him in as a Hokage, we can hire him as a mercenary. (Sakumo).
-Imagine yourself in Kenichi place, imagine a place that tried to kill you and your family in cold blood, defied your parents who were heroes, kicked you out of your house, tried to kill the person who brought you into the world, killed your father before you could even meet him, turned their backs on your mother after she saved the lives of everyone who lives in the place, and all this because you had potential. (Himiko).
-Tell me, Sakumo, if were you in his place, would you fight for Fireland in exchange for money, knowing that you can always squeak The Land of Fire and get it? (Himiko).
Sakumo listening to Himiko was silent.
He knew the answer.
He would never protect a place like this just in exchange for money.
-Kenichi is necessary if we want to win, and we need him, much more than he needs us. (Himiko).
-Go to him, and offer only money is a very efficient way for him to join one of the other villages and exterminate us. (Himiko).
-So I will make him Hokage, for as the leader of the village, I could bind him to The Land of Fire, and he could clear his parents' names. (Himiko) said quietly.
