Chapter 35 | Epilogue and New Life

I don't own anything other than my main character

Two years had passed since Jake's decisive victory over the separatist Alliance. During this time, he had dedicated himself to honing his swordsmanship skills, imparting his knowledge to both Ashoka and Anakin. Not only did he train them in the ways of the Force, but he also delved into the Dark Side with them, exploring the depths of its power.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Galactic Republic underwent a transformation. Many of its worlds aligned with the Empire, driven by various motives. Some joined due to peer pressure, while others sought advanced technology. Yet more were driven by doubt in the Republic's ability to stand against the might of the Empire.

Months after the Republic disbanded, the majority of its former members aligned with the Empire. However, some opted for independence. Jake remained unfazed by their absence from his Empire, as he already commanded a substantial portion of the galaxy.

Jake wanted to seize control of the Hutts and exploited their use of slaves as a pretext to initiate the war. He managed to achieve this without having to employ his summons in battle. Additionally, he successfully undertook a quest, earning only SP as a reward, which was deemed not significant enough to highlight.

What amused Jake was that the Hutts offered more resistance compared to a majority of the CIS forces. This could possibly be attributed to their substantial population of slaves, enabling them to deploy troops in a more abundant manner.

Over the years, Jake dedicated himself to training in anticipation of the challenges awaiting him in the next world. While he was certain he would possess the Force, he remained uncertain about its potential potency beyond this galaxy. There was even a chance that he might not possess it at all. In the midst of uncertainty, one ability he could rely on was his adeptness at deception.

Considering his proficiency in deception, Jake is contemplating a journey to the Elemental Nations. Similarly, he's pondering the possibility of visiting the Soul Society, as both realms are deeply intertwined with deceit. Another intriguing option on his radar is the world of Code Geass.

Ultimately, Jake's choice falls upon Naruto due to his fond recollections of the series and comprehensive understanding of its events. This provides him a valuable edge in the form of foreknowledge, an invaluable asset within that particular realm.

Fortuitously, Jake acquired insight into the forthcoming alterations that the system would undergo upon his arrival in that world. The initial alteration involved the summoning costs, a detail he was already acquainted with from the tutorial. The second change prohibited him from summoning recognized characters within the world, although the option to acquire Ninja remained available. The third modification allowed him to purchase bloodlines and ninjutsu, expanding his possibilities even further.

Given the understanding gained from the previous revelation, it's important to note that there are constraints when it comes to acquiring bloodlines. Jake can only possess one bloodline that influences his spiritual attributes and another that impacts his physical traits. To illustrate, a possible combination could be the "Word Release" bloodline alongside the "Sharingan" bloodline.

In preparation for his journey, Jake takes a moment to inform Anakin and Ahsoka about his upcoming travels, hinting that they could potentially be summoned to aid him in the new world. The revelation of the Multiverse's existence leaves them astounded, as the notion had previously been dismissed as a debunked theory due to the absence of any concrete evidence.

He then bought the Key to the Elemental Nations

Emerging from a shimmering portal, Jake found himself standing at the threshold of the Valley of the End, a realm that straddled the boundaries of reality and legend. The air crackled with a palpable energy, a mélange of ancient chakra and the whispers of forgotten battles.

Before them stretched a panorama of breathtaking majesty—the valley's terrain was a marriage of raw nature and man-made artistry. On one side, a tumultuous river roared, carving its way through the land with unwavering determination. Its waters, once witness to elemental clashes and fervent ambitions, now flowed serenely, a tranquil mirror to the stories etched in stone.

The statues, colossal and lifelike, stood sentinel on either side of the valley. Hashirama Senju, the embodiment of life and vitality, his eyes reflecting a benevolent determination that seemed to see through the ages. Madara Uchiha, a paradox of power and darkness, his expression eternally etched in defiance, as though he still challenged the very concept of submission.

Jake was struck by the significance of this scene, interpreting it as a sign from the system to align himself with the side he resonated with the most. One notable insight he gleaned was that the battle between Madara and Hashirama had indeed taken place, indicating that the hidden villages had already been established and the first Great Ninja War had concluded.

As Jake stood there, taking in the historic and symbolic surroundings, his attention remained blissfully unaware of the enigmatic presence that lurked in the shadows. Unseen by him, Black Zetsu coiled and maneuvered, its form a shadowy silhouette against the backdrop of history. The tendrils of darkness shrouded its every movement as it observed Jake with an intensity that seemed to penetrate beyond the mere physical.

The whispers of the wind carried the secrets of the valley, the memories of battles fought, alliances forged, and sacrifices made. Black Zetsu, a master of manipulation and subterfuge, blended seamlessly with the whispered echoes, its presence almost ethereal. It studied Jake's demeanor, his contemplative gaze upon the statues, and the thoughts that surely raced through his mind as he weighed the significance of this moment.

As the history-laden air stirred around them, Black Zetsu's intent remained shrouded. Its purpose in observing Jake's arrival remained a puzzle, a piece of the intricate tapestry that was the multiverse. And so, it continued to observe, unseen and unnoticed, its dark form a silent witness to a traveler who had crossed realms and timelines, standing on the precipice of a new adventure.

An) Please tell me if you liked this chapter by dropping a power stone. I apologize for the rushed epilogue; I was uncertain about what to write. Have a wonderful day! Writing this took longer than expected—I suppose post-writing editing is quite important. :)
