No Rivals or Enemies...

Chapter 201

Title: No Rivals or Enemies...

….

-Yami POV-

I am currently in my office with my eyes closed. Look through the eyes of one of the bugs, and see Shiro manhandle Team Seven. He isn't my dog for nothing, he has learned from me on how to make people listen to you and how leadership works.

Of course, I know that Shiro is known as the best informant in Konoha. But actually it's just him borrowing my spy network. Nothing in Konoha is out of my control, but I can't be publicly known as having my personal spy network. After all, at the end of the day the Hokage is a leader first and ninja second. A leader must seem like he can do no wrong. Just like in my first world, the president wasn't the leader of the spy network or that would put people on edge. So he has an organization that does it for him, well… more like a scapegoat. 

But truly though, their current D Rank mission is to find a lost dog and Konoha has grown huge under my rule. Even for a ninja that would take days to find an animal in Konoha. So they did the smart thing and went to ask Shiro. Now do I know where the lost dog for an irrelevant D Rank mission is… that would be a waste of time to know something like that… and I do know where the dog is. Who knows, that dog could be an unstable factor, or a white Zetsu disguised as a dog. Of course that isn't the truth due to the mosquitoes already having a blood sample from the dog. So I truly do control everything in Konoha. 

Even about the hiding criminal organizations.

….

It takes four hours for Team Seven to complete the mission, and Shiro traumatized the kids. But still, as they are walking towards the Hokage tower. I act like I am working and have a huge pile of paperwork beside my desk. 

Also the bridge builder is here currently, but obviously Naruto doesn't talk to me like he would talk to the 3rd Hokage, acting so disrespectful against me is a big no, no. 

Really though, the 3rd Hokage really tries to stop my growing power. Sheesh, can't that old guy just chill. He acts like a cucked husband stalking his wife's boyfriend. But really though, his organization is a joke. I control 70% of the members from the inside, Hiruzen is weak, he can't just kill the members who refuse him. So he listens to their reasons and such, and that is why he will never really be a nail in my way. I mean his organization is helping me figure out who the people who don't like me are and who should 'accidentally' die in a mission.

I really have no enemies or rivals. No one can threaten me, Kaguya could escape from the moon right now and I still wouldn't say that she is a threat to my life. True, she is dangerous, but the only thing she has is raw power. She can't use something like the Reaper's Death Seal on me, and I can't really be killed by raw power. You can obliterate my physical body, but I would just reform it into a new one around my soul. My power is immeasurable… but I want MORE. 

I am nowhere near omnipotent or omnipresent. I can destroy the world with just a thought and then remake it with another thought. I have even started caring about my children in this world. Why? Because I know that even if they decide to betray me I can easily get rid of them.

With a swipe of my hand I could splatter their brains. But I wouldn't do that for nothing, they are after all my kids. I even think about Hachi sometimes, I couldn't be a father to him. His life was truly tragic if you look at it from his perspective. It's sad that he had to go and die…

But I still don't let my guard down, but I have recognised the true fact… that none of my children will ever reach even 5% of my power.

..

As I am thinking this, I hear the door open and team seven come in. I of course act like I am working, this is the ultimate technique for someone like me who lets my clones do all the work… well now technically I am working…

"Hokage -sama." Calls out Kakashi, taking me out of my thought process. I just look at him in the eyes and nod.

"It seems like another successful D Rank mission for Team Seven." I say that with a teasing tone. Pising off Naruto and his teammates, but they didn't say anything.

 I smile at that. "Anyway, Kakshi, so you think that your Genin are ready for C Rank missions? After all, they did just complete the mandatory amount of D Ranks needed before taking a C Rank."

Kakashi catches on my hidden message and decides to tease his students too by saying. "Hmmm… I do wonder about that. They sometimes can be quite annoying."

As he says that he looks at Naruto, meaning that even though he said 'they' he actually meant that Naruto was annoying. 

On the other hand Naruto just clasps his hands together saying. "Kakashi -sensei. I promise I will be good from now on. Just please don't let us take another D Rank. I mean if I have to talk to Shiro one more time…"

As he thinks that, Naruto's face becomes green as if he is about to throw up. Hope he doesn't actually throw up in my office. That would be gross. 

In the end Kakashi seems to come to a decision and says. "Ok, ok… I guess that they can be considered to be ready for a C Rank mission."

I just nod. "Ok then, I want you to meet…-"  a quick check on my memories about the name of the person. "-Tazuna The Bridge Builder. You will escort him to the Land of Waves."

Tazuna, unlike canon, he doesn't come in here drunk but more orderly and looks at me and nods. I nod back and give Kakshi a look, he nods too, understanding my hidden message.

…

After some goodbyes, they go away and I am left back to my thoughts. This will be quite a bit of emotional development for Naruto and the others. It will help them grow into useful tools for me. 

Hmmm… now I have free time again. I wonder if that intern of ours is single. Who am I joking, I don't care even if she is dating someone and is sixteen years younger than me. (Yami is 37 years old)

I look through my memories and look through her life story… oh wait she actually used to be in the Inuzuka Orphanage. Well that just makes things easier on how to manipulate her. 

….

-Yoruichi POV-

You know… watching dad flirting with a girl around my age is extremely awkward. I can see him smile at her and give her compliments. That is when he looks at me, since I am transformed into a black cat and have even hidden my chakra, it would be hard for even S Rank Sensor ninja to notice me. But this is dad, so he immediately notices me and waves.

Sh*t… nothing really escapes him does it…
