Preparation (3)!!!

Akihiko was in deep thought since things had taken another stupid turn. Why was it that whenever he thought about something it will end up leading to a terrifying result? Was he cursed? This had started to become unsettling….

Anyway, since the system doesn't want to answer the question then he'll ask another.

"Which of the two factions does the system want me to join?"

[...] After a long period of silence from the System, Akihiko began to suspect something…

[The System cannot make any decision for the Host!]

Is that so? Well Akihiko already expected this answer. From all the clues laid bare to him, Akihiko had already deduced a terrifying secret, though he was not entirely sure of it.

If the System was made by the Rulers Faction then why will it send him to get a body that followed the Cosmic path? Also if his System was from the Cosmic path, athen why did it still fuse with him who was a Dimensional god?

From all this questions, Akihiko could deduce that there was a Third party in the Struggle For the Great Path. In fact, it may be that there were a lot of Third Parties and his System was from there. This is why, the system didn't care if he had a lot of 'affiliations'. It may very well be that they are experimenting what will happen during the fusion of the Ruler Path and Cosmic Cultivation Path.

[….] Sure enough, he was right! 'Tch' Clicking his tongue, Akihiko couldn't help but lament about the terrifying mind that he possessed. A god was really something.

'System, ive already figured out what you where hiding so quickly tell me the third parties in the Great Stuggle' Akihiko found it too troublesome to call the full name so he just shortened it.

[Ding! The System acknowledges the Command!]

[Ding! There are 3 Third Parties, namely the God Faction, The Constellation Faction and a hidden faction that the System doesn't know about!]

[Ding! The God Faction consists of God's who had been born from the beginning of the Cosmos, they weild immense strength and are not weaker than the Ruler's Faction. The Constellation Faction consists of Heroes, Myths and Legends and Geniuses, Sons of Heavens that have accumulated strength, they too are not weaker than the God Faction!]

'Interesting!' Akihiko remarked! He couldn't wait to go out there and challenge all those Monsters. The Constellation Faction was what intrigued him the most, who knows whether he would meet The Authentic Monkey King Sun Wukong over their? Truly interesting!

As Akihiko was busy in his inner monologue, Teuchi was busy in the kitchen preparing Miso Pork Ramen.

'What a peculiar young one! I sense immense Soul Power from him, not weaker than my own! This is unprecedented!'

It must be known that an Otsutsuski is almost Immortal when it comes to age restraints. This means that external forces could indeed kill them but age could not kill them. With their immense age, their Soul Power would naturally grow with them. This was not even counting the others that willingly trained their Soul Strenght or those who had immense Soul Strenght through a Chakra Fruit, or those with Mighty Dojutsu. Or those who had all the above!

For an instant, Teuchi was tempted to devour this person! It was not uncommon for a Rinnegan owner to absorb the Chakra of a Ninja, much less an Otsutsuki who had more mastery over their powers. It will not take too much effort for him to absorb his soul. Regretfully shaking his head, Teuchi didn't want to go back to his old life.

He came to the Shinobi World 500 years after the fall of Kaguya Otsutsuki, after sensing that those rebellious sons where still alive, he dared not expose himself, so he roamed the World in search of more power. If Kaguya who had fused with the Ten Tails was not a match for her Two Sons, he didn't think that he'll do any better.

It was not until after the Era of the First and Second Hokage did he fall in love and throw away his old days. Only dedicated to caring for his daughters growth. He knew that if he devoured this young man, then he'll definitely have the ability to Roam unfettered in this World.

If Akihiko knew Teuchi's thoughts, he could have scoffed! Its good that we were both targeting each other! Unlike you though, I'll hunt you down, no mercy! Well, it will be hard to say if Teuchi could really absorb Akihiko, since he could run away or even put up a fight. As for his disgusting Ramen Sage technique, Akihiko never put it in his mind!

With his immense Soul Power, Mind Control was useless against him, this didn't mean that Illusions were useless against him, this was why Akihiko wanted methods to protect himself from Illusions.

Also what Teuchi felt was Akihiko's Soul Strenght after the World Will's Suppression. When Akihiko said that he could go uncontested in the Shinobi World if he had no Mortal Constraint was no lie!

As a Dimensional god, no matter how weak, feeding on planets was childs play. Strong ones fed on galaxies, nebulae, and universe's. In fact, an Otsutsuki won't stand a chance against a Dimensional god on the same level, this was due to various reasons.

If Akihiko begins to produce Divine Energy…

Heh! By then, he's Divine Energy could be used to mitigate the Worlds Supression, and when that happens…

"Old man Teuchi, I want a Bowl of Miso Pork Ramen!!"

A jovial voice filled with youth and innocence interrepted Akihiko from his thoughts as he looked at the boy that sat beside him. Akihiko observed the yellow spiky haired young boy indifferently. This is Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist or Son of Heaven of this World. It was not suprising that he came here, since this was Naruto's most visited place apart from his house.

"Aaah a Ninja! Greetings Ninja-san!" Naruto, upon seeing the Ninja head band respectfully greeted Akihiko. Akihiko nodded to his greetings before he looked up and saw Teuchi bringing two bowls of Ramen.

"Naruto-kun I've always told you to be more respectful to me, also I'm not that old!"

Listening to Teuchi and Naruto's banter, it was clear that they were quite close. Akihiko ate his Ramen peacefully without saying anything, only occasionally glancing at the weird combo who were debating by his side.

"Ojii-san, I'll have a second serving….also I'll cover all his bills" Akihiko casually said. He didn't see any reason not to pay for Naruto's bill, besides he also enjoyed their company.

It was rare for Akihiko to take a liking to something, The Ramen and the joyful atmosphere served to calm Akihiko's heart down.

It was not easy for Akihiko who knew about the various powers in the Cosmos to remain calm. Even if he was emotionless, peace was never an emotion. Therefore, Akihiko actively sought out peace.

He didn't mean liberating the World or anything, just a rare peace one can get without worry. This was what he needed. He didn't want to stress himself anymore.

So he was going to be chill from now on, he had the strength as of the time being so it won't be bad to relax before a period of unrest comes.
