Chapter 192 - 4th Great War Start

Soren then spent the next few years in and out of the Village doing quests, and everyone who saw this only thought it was Soren's way of grieving for the first couple of months, but after doing this for 3 years, they just thought Soren was a psycho, and every time Soren would come back he either sent out the presence or death, or still had blood stains in his Ninja outfit. Soren was only doing quests to get rid of troublesome people, as well as get System Points, as every kill Soren would get, he would also get 5-10 System Points. And during this time, Sasuke was marked as a Rogue Ninja, and Naruto was hell bent on returning Sasuke, and after a another year passed, it was the day that Sasuke tried to take Orochimaru's life, and right as he was about to pierce his hated enemy, something magical happened, and in the next second Orochimaru was pierced, as Sasuke let out a small smile, and continued towards his goal while cursing Soren in his head for his crazy plan that worked quite well.

[*Heavy Snoring Interrupted*... Ha!?... Who-Wha… Someone must have cursed me again, it wouldn't be the first time… *Heavy Snoring Continues*]: soren

Soren was sleeping in his apartment, while taking a vacation from constant missions, as the 4th Hokage Tsunade refused to hand them out to Soren, but when he brought up how she couldn't do that, she then tried to let him take them without pay, and that stopped Soren in his tracks. Soren had become one of the richest villagers in the Hidden Leaf with wealth that rivaled even the Hyuga Clan, and that was because of all the missions Soren had taken, and once Soren completed his 100th S-Rank Mission solo, he was granted the title of The Immortal Ninja of the Leaf, as Soren would always come back unscathed, and covered in someone else's blood, as it was never his own. Soren didn't have a problem with his new title, as it just made his name be added to the Bingo Book, and he ranked at Number 1 on the list with a Wanted Dead Bounty of 10 Billion Yen, and Soren was tempted to turn himself in, as to collect, but the thing was he needed his head, and Soren could cut it off, but it would reform with the same head he severed, as a new one would not just grow out.

[I Sense the arrival of Naruto… I guess I should greet him then]: soren

Over the course of 4 years, Sorne had some how slowly distanced himself from Naruto when he would go out for months and months at a time, and slowly, Naruto grew more and more with Jiraiya, and looked up to him as a father figure, while Soren still stayed back as the distant Brother type, and Soren felt bad about this, and resolved himself to let Naruto eat on his tab later.

'I will soon lose all my wealth I have amassed… Goodbye Leone': soren

Soren looked at the super fat pocket wallet that looked like a Lion, and when he opened it to see a gigantic wad of 10,000 Yen bills, he felt it would soon be gone. Soren then went to the main gate to see Sakura start running back towards the town, and as he tried to question her actions, he saw the Gate guards wave at him, and when he asked what she was doing, one of the guards told him Naruto was back, and Soren also followed after Sakura, but not in a running motion, but a walk that was at a pace a bit faster than his normal walking speed used in this world. Once Soren caught up to Sakura, he saw her pummeling Naruto Into the ground while Konohamaru was watching from the side with fear stricken all over his face, and Soren decided to interject and say his greetings to Naruto.

[Sakura!... Leave Naruto alone, he just got back and you already want to beat him to death]: soren

[But Sensei!...]: sakura

[Enough!... I need to treat my Little Brother to a treat now that he's back, come Naruto, dinners on me]: soren

[Eh?... Are you serious Nii-san?... I can eat quite a lot, ya know?]: naruto

[I have prepared my pockets… And it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make… Oh! Sakura, you and Konohamaru should come as well, sine I will be broke after today anyway]: soren

Sakura thought Soren was just kidding, as she knew that Soren had enough money to live the rest of his life in a lavish lifestyle, but she truly underestimated the power of Anime Logic, as Naruto ate 200 bowels of his favorite Raman, while Konohamaru ate a good 20 bowels himself, and she had 1 bowel, but the big shocker was that Soren ate well over 800 bowels of Raman, and when Sakura, Naruto, and Konohamaru saw this, they began to freak out, as Soren usually ate a normal size plate of food, but what they didn't know, was Soren used Senzu Beans as a main ingredient, and could always be filled when he ate one bowel. Soren then got the bill, and no shocker, it was well over 4 million Yen, and just like that, Leone was as thin as a homeless man who had yet to eat after 2 weeks.

'Your sacrifice will not be in vain, Leone… I will fill your tummy soon after Tsunade takes me off Mission suspension': soren

Soren then felt as an Anbu member closed in on their position, and when he appeared, he spoke just a simple sentence before leaving.

[Hokage-sama Requests your presence, as well as Naruto and Sakura]: anbu member

Soren then left towards the Hokage's tower along with Naruto and Sakura with one thought in his head.

'Will I be able to do missions again?... Oh Leone, you will be full soon!': soren

Once Soren, Naruto, and Sakura made it to the Hokage tower, they were then brought to the Hokage's office and entered to see Jiraiya, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Tsunade, and her assistant Shizune, Soren then felt the presence of one of the biggest closet pervert in the entire Narutoverse standing outside the window so he could make a badass entrance. As Soren was surveying the room, Tsunade then dismissed Shikamaru and his team for a mission complete, and then spoke to Soren, Naruto, and Sakura.

[Thank you guys for coming… Soren! I will get to your reason for being here in a minute… Naruto, first let me say welcome back, and I hope you had a fruitful training trip with Jiraiya… But I called both you and Sakura here for one puropus, and that is, I have a challenge for you]: tsunade

[Granny Tsunade, you have a challenge?... Will we be fighting someone?]: naruto

[Exactly!... You will be fighting with one person I picked to test your progress]: tsunade

[Who is it!?... Do I know them?]: naruto

[Yes you do, in fact he is here in this room]: tsunade

Naruto began looking around, and noticed that the only ones still in the room are Soren, Sakura, Shikamaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade herself, and he then spoke with excitement.

[Is it Nii-san!?]: naruto

[No…]: tsunade

[... Shikamaru?]: naruto

[No!... You opponent is not in this direct room]: tsunade

[Then where is he?]: naruto

Tsunade then pointed to the window, and Naruto went to check, only to see Kakashi pop out while waving his free hand, and spoke.

[Welcome back Naruto! I hope your training went well?]: kakashi

Naruto then had the same talk with Kakashi like in the Anime, and gave him a very important gift, and when Kakashi saw the gift, he quickly had a lecherous gaze that was hidden well by his mask, but his eyes told it all, and he quickly made up an excuse to prolong the sparring match so he could go read his new po*rn book. And Once Kakashi left, Tsunade then had everyone else leave so that she could have a private talk with Soren alone, and that meant even the Anbu had to leave, and soon, everyone had left the room leaving only Soren and Tsunade left.

[Soren… I wish I didn't need to bring things like this up, but the amount of missions you have gone on in the past 4 years has caused many problems to occur with other villages… So with a heavy heart, I will be demoting you to Special Jonin]: tsunade

[What!?... You can't do this! How will I fill Leone's tummy now?]: soren

[Le-who? Never mind… Yes I can, and I have, you are now only allowed to go on A-rank missions and below… Once the spotlight on you dies down you will be promoted back to Jonin, but for now, take it easy… You have an outstanding record of 1547 S-rank, 2 A-rank, 0 B-rank, 0 C-rank, and 10 D-rank missions complete… You shouldn't be hurting for money for quite some time]: tsunade

'That's where you're wrong!... I just spent 4 million on food, while all my other assets are frozen in the Bank until I reach the age of 40, and I'm only 20 right now… Though I am really well into my thousands, but in this world I am only 20 years of age': soren

[Okay… I will be taking my leave then]: soren

Soren placed his ID on Tsunade's desk, and took the one that registered him as a Special Jonin, and this meant that only under certain circumstances Soren will be able to undergo S-rank Missions, but unless that order is given, Soren will only be allowed to take A-rank Missions or below, and was considered as a High level Chunin. Soren then spent the next couple of months doing low paying A-rank missions, as all the High paying Missions were already taken, and left the slow pokes with all the low paying jobs, and Soren felt pissed, as he set up a plan that took 78% of each payout for his Missions into his retirement funds, and with this still in action, Soren only made around 5-6 thousand Yen a mission for himself, and that was just enough to pay for rent and get a light breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

'Fucking Tsunade… She demoted me for a stupid scuffle with a couple other villages that have no plans to sign a peace treaty with us in the first place… I will forever be broke unless I use my System Points to make cash, and I could also create some myself, but I fell that is too much power for this world, and refuse to use it': soren

[Hais!... I wonder what Sasuke is doing right now?... He should have the same memories as I brought him here with as I sensed a space distortion for a few seconds before feeling my own presence disappear elsewhere]: soren

Soren then opened his System, and opened the Message function, and started writing a message to Sasuke, and once he sent it, Sasuke sent a reply a few minutes later.

Soren to Sasuke-

Hey, Long time no see… Well for me anyways, hehe… I wanted to ask how's your trip treating you? Feel repetitive yet?... Anyway, hurry back to the village, Naruto dearly misses you, as well as that Kiss you both shared in the Academy… Hahaha

-Sincerely, Your God A.K.A Soren

Sasuke to Soren-

Fuck you

-Sincerely, Sasuke

'What a nice message… Aww!... He even signed it Sincerely, what a caring friend, and student in other senses': soren

Soren then continued to do his daily business, and over the course of the future, nothing changed too much with Sasuke's end as he followed the exact path he went before he got his new strength and memories, while Soren only made minor changes, but still everything stayed close to cannon, and today was the day the Pains attacked Konoha, and Soren helped to evacuate civilians while Tsunade was fighting on the front lines along with everyone else, and Soren got the order to come help after all the civilians were evacuated. Soren then joined the fight after everyone was in the safety bunkers, and made it in time to see Naruto fighting in his 4 tails form, and in this form, Naruto's body began to take the shape and form of Kuruma, and Pain did his best to try and suppress Naruto, as he knew he would die otherwise, but in the end, Naruto beat the Pains, and the village went through a rebuild period. Naruto the fought with Orochimaru, then many members of the Akatsuki, before fighting Pain again, and winning, while Jiraiya had sadly died, and that was then another mental change for Naruto which made the want and need to be stronger intensify, and change his priorities once more.

Time continued to fly, as Soren would make trips to visit Sasuke, and Sasuke would only stop for short moments before going on the move once more, as to keep his memories as correct as possible. Soren noticed that Sasuke didn't want to change a single thing, and soon a few more years passed with Sasuke attacking the 5 Kage Summit, and he met with his brother Itachi before hand, who wanted Sasuke to fight him and kill him, but Sasuke healed Itachi, and absorbed him into his Paradise that had turned into its own world with any living beings on it. Soon, it was time for the 4th Great Ninja War, that would lead to the awakening of Kaguya, and the 10 tails, and the was the only thing Soren wanted to be part of, as he thought the 10 Tails might give him a good fight only using Kurumi's power mixed with his Weakened Sage mode, and so, the 4th Great Ninja War began and Naruto was training to use Kurama's power, and his result was a weak friendship with Kurama that would steadily grow over the years. Soren then helped take out quite a few enemies while putting it out there that he was also a Jinchuriki who held Kurama's Yin half, and just like that both Naruto and Soren fought back to back, while Sasuke slowly made his way through the 4th Great Ninja War, while fighting off enemies himself.

'So boring!... I can easily wipe the lot of them out with a sneeze, but I don't want to mess anything up if Soren hadn't already': sasuke

The battle continued until Madara made his second appearance, and began fighting everyone like it was a child's game for him, and soon, Tobi, who was Obito in disguise appeared, and stole Kurama from Naruto, and Soren decided it was for the best to give Naruto Kurumi for the time being as it would be the only thing to save his life.

'Sorry Kurumi… But my Brother's life comes first, we will be together again': soren
