Chapter 47

"*Whistle* war is surely the most profitable area in business." Thought Ryuji as he headed towards Terumi hideout.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Terumi and Yuki clan Hideout-

In an improvised meeting room was Mei, Sakumo and some survivor Jounin that were tasked to cover civilian members retreat. Silence reign in the room, they could hear painful cries from their injured members coming from a medical room near them.

Without care Terumi clan head entered their meeting room looking rather pale still recovering from Mizukage's attack. Ryuji walked near Sakumo and waited for the father daughter duo talk.

Mei: [Father, you shouldn't move around with an injury like that.] worried looking at him.

Jounin 01: [Clan head Mei-sama is right, you should be resting, to recover from your fight.] showing his concern.

Satoshi Terumi: [I am fine … Ryuji-dono healed my injured arm and stopped the bleeding.] showing his bandages with a carefree smile, not even bothered by the loss of his left arm.

Satoshi Terumi: [I don't know why Konoha's Shiroi Kiba or Ookami would want in return after rescuing an enemy village clan. Don't misunderstand I am extremely grateful but I have to fulfil my duty as clan head and Kirigakure's shinobi.] said without wavering.

Ryuji: [We want to form a solid Alliance with Kirigakure.] starting his negotiations.

Mei Terumi: [As I said to Sakumo-dono, hidden Mist fought against Uzu, why ally with us so sudden.] still wary.

Sakumo: [You know that Kumogakure and Iwagakure were allies before breaking their agreement first time against Uzu and now against Konoha. They would enter alliance again in the future if it were to deal with Konoha.]

Ryuji: [Don't worry about being just a military alliance, Konoha and Kirigakure will sign trade agreement to help recover your finances and food shortage. About Uzu, we talked with Arashi, the Uzukage, he didn't hold hatred against Hidden Mist as no one from Uzumaki clan died.] said trying to show Hidden Leaf's sincerity in their negotiations.

Satoshi Terumi: [For that to happen we need to eliminate the rest of Yagura's supporters.]

Sakumo: [My Elite Anbu will help stabilizing the civil war.] offered his help.

Mei Terumi: [Kiri will take a long time till reach its peak again.] trying to gauge their reactions.

Ryuji: [I talked with Tsuna and she agreed that we will return your swords as a sign of trust between Kirigakure and Konahagakure.] mentioning the 5 of the 7 legendary swords from Mist Village that were in Ryuji's possession.

Mei: [Tsuna?] confused.

Satoshi Terumi: [Tsunade Senju? Oh, I forgot you are married with the Slug Sannin.] finally remembering the Yondaime Hokage's marriage with her Anbu Commander.

Jounin: [I know that it is against the protocol but isn't rude to talk using a mask?] was immediately shut down by a hard look from Satoshi. He was embarrassed but soon controlled his emotions.

Sakumo: [Hahaha don't worry about stay hidden; everyone knows who you are.] laughing at his misfortune.

Sakumo said to Ryuji whose lips merely tugged at the edges forming a small smile. He plopped down to one of the free chairs around the room.

"Here we go again." Thought Ryuji.

Sakumo hummed amusedly at seeing their reaction toward Ryuji taking of his mask.

Mei and another female Jounin blushed and become entranced seeing his heavenly features.

*Cough*

Satoshi Terumi: [As we were talking … I as Terumi clan head agree with Konoha terms. Soon the civil war will stop after dealing with the dead Mizukage remaining loyal forces.] Coughing awkwardly trying to wake his daughter from her frozen state. Even if he was astonished after seeing Ookami's face, Satoshi is an experienced shinobi soon recovered and took control.

Sakumo: [Are we heading towards Konoha today?] turning to Ryuji and asked as they finished their treaty.

Satoshi Terumi: [Why don't you stay for tonight and leave tomorrow morning? Let me at least offer this, as sign of gratitude.] bowing his head. Ryuji nodded at his offer.

After along night talking with some survivors and being surprised by a new side of Mei, different from her mȧturė self in the anime she is a shy 16 years old girl, he wondered if she would be different as her father is alive.

Early in the morning, after resupplying and having a refreshing sleep, Ryuji was prepared to travel back to Konoha with Sakumo to report their success in securing an Alliance with Mist.

Satoshi come to see their departure and was accompanied by his crestfallen daughter.

After think all night she started to blame herself for not being strong enough to protect her family and friends. Hidden Mist was now free but at the cost of her friends and part of her clan. She wondered what would have been her fate or her clan's if they weren't rescued.

Ryuji: [I ȧssure you that your family would be sad to see you like this. Keeping all that weight at young age is unhealthy but that will be the fate of leaders. One day you will take your father's mantle as Clan head till then you will have to become strong and learn.] signaling to her about the weight that leading a clan and living with the consequences of her decisions.

The young woman nodded as if understanding but appeared somewhat disappointed.

Mei Terumi: [Alright then, safe travels Ryuji-san] said as she smiles and watches Ryuji make his way towards Sakumo.

(AN: Our dear MC will surely take Mei Terumi and Kaguya but I will wait a bit to conquer their hearts.)

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

A few months passed after Yagura's death; Mei become the youngest Village leader in Shinobi history. She took the seat as Godaime Mizukage as she become 17 years old, Satoshi become her advisor as without his right arm he couldn't become Mist Village leader.

Isobu reformed his conscience and body inside Ryuji's personal dimension. After a few minutes talking with Kurumi he become ecstasy knowing that he was free to lazy around without worrying about being harmed.

Iwagakure was fighting against hidden cloud but almost couldn't hold their greed after learning about Yagura's death. Onoki couldn't turn around and attack hidden Mist because he feared that hidden cloud would attack their backs, the old Tsuchikage didn't want to gamble with his village security even more now after losing a great deal of troops when Ryuji and Tsunade fought, his forces lowered and couldn't take two fronts.

Mikoto was in her last month in her pregnancy, Ryuji prepared for the next family member. What bring surprise towards their little family was Tsubaki's reaction from her little brother/sister being born soon. Tsubaki was happy and become protective of Mikoto, looking around in alert when she accompanies Mikoto in her morning walk. For her misfortune, Tsubaki look extremely cute with her serious chubby face gaining a few pinches on her cheeks by some passerby granny and housewives.

Tsubaki wanted to start her training with her mothers, Tsunade teach her Taijutsu, Ryuji is teaching how to read and write with Mikoto's help, Sayuri is teaching about chakra and Kushina is teaching about her specialty stealth, trap making and pranking. Kushina gained a few minutes being scolded by Tsunade and Mikoto.

In these months there wasn't just good news for Konoha, Mikoto's father died in a clash with Kumogakure. Even if he wasn't a good father or clan leader, the gentle Mikoto couldn't help but become sad and grieve for his death.

The 3rd Hokage asked for a few days to return from Ame border after giving his post to Shikaku, Hiruzen wanted to give Kagami's final letter to Mikoto personally and stay a few days for his funeral.

Ryuji didn't like her father even after reading his letter but seeing his pregnant wife crying after learning Kagami's last words, made him put his plans to finish the war against cloud on hold.

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

-To Mikoto Uchiha

I am so sorry for being a terrible father, I don't know when I started to become indecisive maybe it was after your mother passed away. The right that I had to be called 'father' was completely lost after my ineptitude to move and interfere with Fugaku and the elders plans.

Knowing about your personality, I know that you will probably be sad after hearing about my death even after everything that happened in these years, you are just like your mother, too gentle for your own good.

I wish that I could be near when my grandson or granddaughter are born but I don't know if I would have enough strength to face them when they grow up and ask how was your childhood.

I hope you stay happy, healthy and above all … you will need to stay strong not just for yourself but for your child.

This might not mean a lot but know that I will always love you my Daughter.

-Kamui Dimension-

A handsome young man with features that shouldn't be possessed in the mortal world, Ryuji was meditating. Finally, with his 21 years, Ryuji Senju Uchiha removed his last chakra limiter.

With his 3rd and last limiter that restrained his chakra removed, his chakra started to convert completely into god chakra and it isn't just any type of god chakra, it is primordial chakra. Different from Otsutsuki clan who needs chakra fruit to help mix their chakra with a fraction of god chakra, Ryuji was now considered a chakra divinity.

His True Rinnegan become a Rinne Sharingan, it maintained his metallic purple color from his Rinnegan just adding 9 tomoe. Ryuji was happy to become stronger and wanted to test his new abilities but a message from Tsunade changed his plans.

(AN: Like Sasuke Rinnegan but with 9 tomoe. I would like to know about new ideas of skills or abilities for his eyes. I will use the same as Kaguya, travel/teleport through different dimensions but I will add different realities and timelines.)
