Chap 31 - A Great Increase in Power And a Moment of Peace.

Ryuuji slowly opened his eyes upon waking up the next morning. The red-haired boy pulled Benihime's body and hugged her affectionately, while gently caressing her swollen belly.

As he enjoyed the calm morning, Ryuuji closed his eyes and mentally called out to his system:

" System, show me my status and my skills. "

It's the art of sensing and controlling the flow of Vital Energy of the planet to achieve various effects. Effects include, but are not limited to: Massively increase in user's spirit, strength, speed, stamina, senses and durability, heal body and mind, strengthen attacks, deal internal damage to enemies, interrupt energy flow and heightened supernatural perception (Sixth Sense). ]

[ A.N: Yes, I know that in canon, Senjutsu Users don't even do half of that, but I believe that's just because Kishimoto didn't delve into what Natural Energy really was. As I am the author of this fic, I decided to add some more extras to the Senjutsu skill. ]

Before he even had confirmation from his system, Ryuuji could already feel that he was stronger, but seeing his system screen showing the information to him was still very satisfying.

Just as he imagined, learning to control Natural Energy allowed him to break the level 99 bottleneck on his Chakra Seed ability.

Not only did this bring him a gigantic benefit in control and knowledge of his own chakra, it also allowed him two things.

He can finally take his chakra-related abilities to the maximum level, which has provided him with many other ways to use these abilities.

If before Ryuuji needed to train for almost six months to perfectly recreate Ice Release and Dust Release, now he just needed to test the different combinations between the seven basic chakra natures to recreate the effects of all possible Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tota.

To test his theory, Ryuuji slightly raised his free hand and focused a portion of his chakra into it, converting equal parts of that chakra into the seven basic nature transformations.

A few minutes later, the small chakra sphere changed color several times until it became a dull black sphere.

Upon creating a Truth-Seeking Ball, Ryuuji felt his connection to his own chakra take yet another qualitative leap.

With a smile on his lips, Ryuuji placed his hand on Benihime's back.

The second thing Ryuuji "learned" to do now that he had fully mastered his own seed chakra was to sense and interact with the chakra present in other living beings.

Ryuuji knew that chakra was not born of humanity and was always something exclusive to the Otsutsuki Clan, who according to his past life memories, always had a way to recover this chakra by controlling the God Tree or using the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

When Hagoromo used his wisdom and his Rinnegan to create the original form of Ninjutsu, called Ninshu, he wanted that through his creation, humanity would gain a spiritual connection to foster mutual understanding and empathy at levels far beyond normal.

Unfortunately, the old man's plans were all futile and humanity's access to chakra only caused humanity to intensify the conflicts even more, giving birth to the cursed profession called Shinobi.

Ryuuji, unlike other chakra users in the Ninja World, could control this energy with immense ease. Of course, having a divine talent was really a big plus, but that wasn't all.

From the beginning, his ability to use chakra was never linked to the Otsutsuki Clan or the system spread across Hagoromo.

And now that he can fully control this supernatural energy created by his body, he felt he could also "give" that ability to others.

Therefore, with one hand on Benihime's back, Ryuuji focused his chakra while sending small strands of that golden energy into his mother's body.

Ryuuji wanted to eliminate any outside influences that allowed Benihime to access chakra, as well as allowing her to exert a perfect level of chakra control through training, just as he did too.

Gradually, Ryuuji's chakra acted as a parasite, surrounding Benihime's chakra and her entire Chakra Pathway System.

Ryuuji used the instinctive knowledge he acquired and fully mastered Benihime's body.

His chakra, as if was a living entity, slowly "planted a seed" inside Benihime's body.

A few minutes later, Ryuuji could feel the difference in his mother's body and drew back his chakra.

The effects on Benihime's body were immediate. Her body and her spirit began to produce more and more energy, which increased her chakra reserves on a grand scale.

Furthermore, the Uzumaki bloodline itself in her blood began to burn with force, as if it was being purified by this surplus energy.

Gradually, the small crow's feet and frown lines on Benihime's face disappeared.

Even the Uzumaki bloodline didn't protect women from the small effects of aging and Benihime, a 33-year-old woman, knew that all too well.

But now, Ryuuji realized that his mother looked like a 20-year-old woman again.

The red-haired boy didn't know what to feel.

On the one hand, his mother was prettier for being younger, but Ryuuji also felt that Benihime lost her MILF charm and gained an aura of Onee-san.

Well, as long as Benihime was his mother and wife, he would love her anyway.

...

After the successful attempt to change his mother's chakra system, Ryuuji left the red-haired woman sleeping and resting from last night while he left to take the girls somewhere nice.

At this time, Ryuuji was with Kushina, Morgiana, Mikoto and Konan in Tanzaku Gai, a large city in the Land of Fire known for its casinos and its various festivals.

" Hey Ryuu-nii, I want to try playing in that tent! "

Following the direction Konan's little finger pointed with his eyes, Ryuuji nodded slightly.

" Very well, Konan-chan. You can go, but remember not to leave my sight. "

Konan lightly nodded her head and jumped off Ryuuji's shoulders, which had become the little blue-haired girl's favorite resting place.

Watching Konan run to the game tent, Ryuuji smiled faintly.

Mikoto, who was hugging Ryuuji's left arm, let a laugh escape her lips before teasing Ryuuji:

" Seeing the way you treat Konan-chan, I can already imagine how much you'll spoil Hikari-chan when she's born. "

A hint of pride appeared on Ryuuji's face as he thought of how he would care for and raise his little princess.

" Yes…you can be sure that I will spoil my princess very much. "

Kushina, who was attached to her other arm, looked at Konan and put on a dreamy expression.

" Ne, Ryuu-nii…do you know when we're getting married? I think I want to have a baby too! "

Being taken aback by Kushina's words, Ryuuji coughed lightly.

" W-What are you talking about, Kushina…you're still too young to think about it. "

Kushina smiled ironically and with an amused expression on her face, mocked Ryuuji:

" And what morals do you have to talk about age restrictions, Ryu-u-jii?

Mikoto-chan, Morgiana-chan…maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't it Ryuuji who got a woman pregnant at just ten years old? What are you, Ryuuji? A beast? "

Ryuuji gulped and looked at Mikoto and Morgiana, who, as usual, was behind the group with an icy expression on her face.

Mikoto smiled a little menacingly and perhaps unconsciously, activated her Sharingan.

" You're right, Kushina-chan…I think Ryuuji doesn't have the right to talk about self-control and responsibilities. Maybe he really is a beast? "

Ryuuji focused his gaze on Morgiana, but even his beautiful red-haired, thick-thighed servant looked away before driving the last nail into her coffin:

" That's right… and as if that weren't enough, he did what he did to his own mother. He can only be a beast. "

Ryuuji placed his hand on his heart, as if he were suffering from immense pain.

" GM-Girls…will you ever forget this? "

Without responding to Ryuuji's words, the three girls started to smile.

Mikoto squeezed Ryuuji's arm a little tighter and locked her red eyes on Ryuuji's face:

" Who knows, Ryuuji-kun? You must work harder to earn our forgiveness, right? "

Morgiana walked up to stand in front of Ryuuji and looked over her shoulder, also locking her gaze on Ryuuji's face:

" I think you need to discover this information yourself, Young Master. "

After saying that, the thick-thighed beautiful redhead walked towards Konan, who was concentrating on hitting the toy shuriken at the targets.

Morgiana might be angry at what Ryuuji did, but she just can't seem to put her work aside, so she went to Konan to make sure nothing happened to the little girl.

Kushina also squeezed Ryuuji's arm tighter and smiled mischievously.

How would Ryuuji not know that this brat got into this matter to force the other girls to remember what he did?

Ryuuji moved his hand nimbly and pinched the tip of Kushina's nose.

" You naughty girl, do you enjoy making fun of other people's misfortunes? "

As Kushina complained in pain from having her small nose pinched between Ryuuji's fingers, Mikoto covered her lips with her free hand, hiding the smile that appeared on her lips.

" I think she just likes to see YOUR suffering, Ryuuji-kun…maybe as a way to get revenge for what you've done? "

Ryūji put a false expression of sadness on his face.

" How absurd! I'm just a young boy in love! How can I control all the love in my heart with just one wife? I was born to have a harem! "

Mikoto's smile slipped a little and Ryuuji could see that the beautiful hand of the Uchiha Clan beauty trembled slightly.

Unfortunately for him, Kushina didn't have as much self-control as Mikoto and let her anger explode:

" Y-You…Y-You…You pervert! "

Kushina's eyes went white and her hair began to float, creating an image that Ryuuji was already very used to seeing.

" K-Kushina-chan… calm down! "

Without waiting for his words to have any effect, Ryuuji hugged Mikoto and moved his body to the side, dodging a golden chain that flew at high speed towards his skull.

" Ryu-u-jii! You better let me hit you! "

Mikoto hugged Ryuuji's body and began to smile as she was carried by the red-haired boy, who started to run away from the angry red-haired princess.
