Chapter 34

Ryu: [I will go talk with the kids later.]

"it will be good to see the future generation from Uchiha clan." Thought mainly about Shisui and Obito.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Real Madara and Zetsu-

On dark place sat an old man with a mȧturė sharingan and his body was weak and was connected with a weird looking statue, in front of him there was a plant creature half black and white.

White Zetsu: [Madara-sama, we have important news.]

Madara: [….] waited for his report.

Black Zetsu: [We can't confirm it after that Uzumaki clan entered Konoha and made a new seal that block our entry. ...]

[It isn't a secret that Sunagakure declared war on Leaf and sent 2 thousand shinobi as first attack wave.]

Madara: [What's so surprising on this?] not impressed.

White Zetsu: [Because there was three people blocking and destroying the invasion wave.] with a hint of fear.

Madara: [Let me guess, one of them was that Death Goddess?] Clearly imagining that she was one of the few that could manage such feat.

White Zetsu: [No, it was your old friends, 1st and 2nd Hokages, and surprisingly you were there] puzzled.

Madara: [?? Me??] curious.

Black Zetsu: [I don't know how or who did it, but they are clearly fake.] trying to figure out how they manage to make fool of every single village.

W. Zetsu: [I will keep looking for clues.]

"Ho? That's indeed interesting" thought an amused Madara.

Madara: [What about my eyes successor?]

B. Zetsu: [The young Nagato has better control over your Rinnegan but he has a foolish dream for peace.] reporting.

Madara: [Soon he will come to our side but we need another puppet.] said as a light shone on his eyes.

B. Zetsu: [We have a lot of opportunities on this war.]

Madara: [indeed but I don't have all that time.] closing his eyes.

-Uchiha compound-

A large circle filled with young genin, some chuunin and even old Jounin around waiting patiently for someone.

Ryuji saw how they were looking at him and could only wryly smile.

Mikoto: [As I have promised, I present to you my fiancé Ryuji.] said warmly at how the children react.

Ryu: [Hello! As you might know my name is Ryuji, I don't really like formalities so you can call me Ryu.] siting besides Mikoto in the center.

Mikoto: [I know that a lot of you wants to ask questions to him, if you want to ask raise your hand.] looking around seeing everyone eager to know about him, as soon as she finished her speech almost everyone got up and raise their hands even the ȧduŀts.

Ryu: [Hahaha, I know everyone is curious but there is no hurry, I will be here all day.] exclaimed amused by their reaction.

Ryu: [let's start with … the little girl with in front of me.] pointed at 10-year-old girl near him.

[Ryu-san, it is true that when you heard that Hokage-sama was in danger, you rushed to protect her?]

Ryu: [Yes! I ran from Konoha to Ame at full speed to defend her, at that time we weren't together yet.]

[Kyahh, Ryuji-sama is so cool] a dozen of girls were screaming at such scene, Ryuji and Mikoto sweat dropped at them.

Chuunin: [Ryuji-san, I saw at bingo book about your fight, could you describe better for us?] asked with excitement on his face, Ryu just nodded and start retelling his fight.

Ryuji and Mikoto stayed till lunch with everyone, after lunch their parents and relatives come too.

Jounin: [Ryuji-dono, I know that you are one of the best sharingan user on Uchiha clan, could you give insight to us and the younger generation?] Ryuji nodded and started explaining about his experience.

As he finishes his explanation, he looks at them with a serious face.

Ryu: [Now don't misunderstand, sharingan is a powerful tool but that doesn't mean you will become invincible. If you have a weak body even if you see the enemy attack in slow speed you will not be able to dodge on time.]

Mikoto: [That's right, don't be arrogant because you awakened your eyes early too, Ryuji is a perfect example, he is powerful even without his eyes and I doubt that anyone could awakened his eye earlier than him.]

Genin: [When did Ryuji-san awaken his sharingan?] asked curious.

Mikoto: [I talked with Sayuri and she said that he gained his eyes when he opened his chakra pathway for the first time.] clearing their doubts.

Jounin: [Eh? But we open it with 4 years old.] stunned.

Mikoto: [That's right, he received his eyes with 4 years old.] smiling but had hints of pride.

Ryuji stayed till night talking with everyone, as he explains about ninjutsu, their interceptor fist and other shinobi abilities, the young become more awed and the ȧduŀts increased their respect about him.

When Ryu and Mikoto were about to finish their story telling, a young boy come near them.

[Mikoto-nesan, can I ask a question?] asked the young Uchiha.

Mikoto: [Oh, Shisui, of course you can.]

Shisui: [Why there is war? Can't we stop everyone from going to war?] some were going out but soon stop to hear his answer, Ryu look deeply at him and acknowledged this young but mȧturė boy.

Ryuji: [A war can start from many things, for example Iwa has too much greed, Suna and Ame for their harsh weather their people enter war for a better territory. Kiri and Kumo want to show their military supremacy.]

Mikoto: [*Sigh* Having peace or rather maintaining is also hard. If you are too strong and govern everyone, they will probably brand you as a tyrant and not all of your people will like to follow, certainly they will wait for an opportunity to backstab you or wait till something happens to you.]

Shisui: [Why? Everyone would be free and happy with peace.] said confused.

Ryuji: [That's the problem, not everyone wants peace.] after he finished, Shisui started to contemplate onto what he heard. Ryuji smiles seeing him thinking.

'War and harsh times make powerful and smart shinobi

Smart and strong shinobi makes peaceful and better times

Peaceful times makes weak people both on power and mind

Weak shinobi makes war and hard times.']

Shisui: [A cycle] as if hit by realization.

Ryuji: [Till here was easy, now the problem is 'How to break such cycle?'] again the young boy and the older people entered in deep thought.

[Hahahahahaha, don't need to think too much now but if you discover the answer please tell me.] smiling at him.

"I can't say to him that the better way to break this cycle at least for me is having a powerful and common enemy. For me the one achieving peace was Madara, liking or not he made everyone fear Akatsuki and unify to fight them back." Ryu was thinking.

"Or it was Kaguya, hahaha what am I thinking it shouldn't be possible right? Thousands of years of scheming to become a common enemy just for true peace. If that is true it would certainly explain why her fight wasn't what I expected in the anime." Ryu got up shook his head ending his thoughts.

3 months passed after Ryuji fought against Sand Village transformed as Konoha's legends. Rock entered war against Cloud invading first but got quickly intercepted by the newly finished experiments.

Kumo common Jounin become High Jounin almost reaching Elite but had a huge drawback after finishing their adaptation their nature turned more volatile and aggressive without counting their reduced lifespan.

Ryuji is still training his new Anbu squads, sometimes he asks for Tsunade to give difficult mission to them. Of course, he always goes without they knowing, it would be a huge loss if they die early.

All villages become apprehensive after Madara and the 'fallen' Kages of Konoha appeared but soon apprehension become suspicion as they suddenly disappeared on these months. Sand didn't request for any type of talk; they keep their war with a little border skirmishing.

Kakashi's training regimen come to an end, he was introduced to Minato's team with Obito and Rin. Like the original work Obito and Kakashi always fought, of course Obito was the one losing.

6 months passed Mist declared war on Konoha after receiving an information from a spy that Hashirama and Madara were fake, but they still entered apprehensive as Sand troops were still slaughtered by someone fake or not.

Ryu and Tsunade used the news that Mist received a report from a spy on Konoha and asked for a meeting, as the only people who knew that Ryu was henged was the higher ups from Leaf.

Sakumo asked Ryuji to use his sharingan to make the culprit confess his betrayal. Also using this chance to clean the civilian counsel, Tsunade now has a trusted counsel with all dirty and corrupt dealt with.

As Sakumo and Ryu were to move to Koharu and Mitokado, Hiruzen interfered saying that he vouches that they aren't traitors.

Ryuji didn't want to lose the advanced of using his sharingan and copying new jutsus, he trained his Anbu and stayed with his lovers and daughter but sent clones around the world to spy and learn.

After all these conflicts as he defended against Sand, Ryuji had a pleasant surprise. Tsubaki was crawling around his restaurant office under his watch when she suddenly stops and tried to get up, seeing her trying her first step Ryu send message to his girls to get to his office, when Tsunade hurriedly appeared and got on her husband's side calling for her daughter, after a few shaky steps Tsubaki is caught between her parents hug.

A year passed Kakashi was training his teamwork with his new friends and become the youngest leaf Jounin with 10 years old, 2 years earlier than originally would have been with Ryu and Sakumo's interfering even though he could become Jounin earlier.

The war increased in scale but not involving Rain yet, his special Anbu squad the Night Wolf had started gathering fame but they still train under Ryuji.

Two more weeks till Ryuji officially marry Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha as they had almost everything ready, he got the day off and prepared some reports to give to Tsunade, Ryu had peaceful week and was walking towards the Hokage's tower.

Reaching his wife's office, he looks back and noticed a panicked face Might Duy had.

Ryu: [Hey, Duy? Is everything alright?] concerned at his wellbeing.

Duy: [Ryuji-san my YOUTHFULL friend, I was about to request to Hokage-sama about sending me to Mist. I heard that their swordsmen are leading an invasion and my son is there with his team.] worried about his son's safety.

Ryu: [Come in, I will explain to her and will go with you to make sure they are okay.]

"It would be a huge loss if you die there." Ryuji thought.
