But as I was about to depart, Sarutobi asked me" What about your three genin ? They are still genin." I smiled and said without turning around" They are good enough to become chunnin. One of them being your son, I think you understand well enough that they deserve to become chunnin."
With that said I departed and went to the main base. I went to my office for the last time until a long time. Once there I summoned my three genin, along with Mikoto, Minato and Kushina. Whe, they all arrived, II began to speak" I have summoned you because I have something important to say. I have already resigned from being a general and am going to travel around the world to train.
I will go alone and I expect to be gone for around three years. Because I think you are worthy enough and I won't be able to be your sensei anymore, Asuma, Kurenai and Guy, you will become chunnin."
They all had their mouths opened wide with this statement. Before they could say anything, I added" Don't say anything, I only summoned you to say goodbye. Now I would like to have a moment alone with my wife, so could you… ?"
They understood, and despite having a lot of questions to ask, they still nodded and went out. I smiled to Mikoto and she asked me" Why d you go alone ? I could …" I shook my head and said" No you won't be able to help, you don't have the affinities with all elements. You could help me with the first two, but not anymore.
I don' want either to leave you for so much time, but you must understand that I need to." She sighed and asked" Why do you need to ?" I replied seriously" I intend to become a lot more powerful, to finish my third stage, and when I will come back I will finish this war alone if needed. And don't tell me I can't you know I can."
She began to tear up a little and asked" Then why didn't you do it now ? You are already powerful enough. And aren't you worried that something may happen to me or to anyone close to you." I shook my head and replied" I can't stop it now because of several reason, and of course I am worried for you.
That is why I will summon some small chimeras and with their eyes look for you all. I will see anything they see and if something seems to be dangerous, then I will come as fast as I can." She stopped crying seeing that it did not work and pouted. I was shocked seeing that she faked it and I could not even see it.
She then smiled mischievously and asked" What do I earn with agreeing ? Why would I accept if I gain nothing in the end ?" I rolled my eyes and answered" We will finely make a child, happy ?" She began to jump happily and kissed me so many time that I almost though she wanted to make it now.
In the end I had to push her out of the office, and with that I departed from the camp. Once outside and alone, I made a summoning and a lot of small insects and birds appeared. It was the first time I summoned this much and I was a bit lost at first with so many views at the same time, but I quickly adjusted.
I made all of them discreetly follow everyone close to me, and once this was done, I made my Susanoo and began to fly. I decided that I would egin with water as it was the element I worked the most so I went toward Kiri.
Once there I searched the whole country in the air to see if I could find any good area to train, and could find one after ten days. What I found was a huge lake with a little island in the middle. But the lake was so large that once on the island it was impossible to see any earth around, only water.
With this I began to train and stopped when I felt the saturation. Like this, 3 years flew by. Through my chimeras I saw that the war still ongoing. I now was inside inside the land of fire. I already finished my stage three a long time ago, but I decided to not come back as soon.
This is because when I made the last sage body, I had a five element sage body. But I felt that there was still another thing beyond. So like that I started to train on the fourth stage, where I would reform my body. This was about fusing all the five elements inside my body, and to unlock the True sage body.
This would enhance all my capabilities by a lot, and the most important it will enhance my rinnegan, making the final evolution. It would also enhance the abilities I gained by the sage body, that is the body refinement with fire, the chakra increase with wind, the enhancement of my senses with water, my speed with thunder, and my regeneration with earth.
But after three years, I saw that it was finally time to stop the war. I was powerful enough to make the world knee in front of me, the other countries would also make enough profit. And there was a second reason for me to come back. I saw that Kakashi became a jonin so I would come back to congratulate him.
So now that I was inside the fire country, I rushed toward the village. Once there I went inside the Hokage's office without knocking as I knew there already ere nobody inside except him. When he saw me he was first surprised but then calmly asked" You finally returned ? What bring you here ?"
I smiled and said" I trained to become strong enough, and even if I am not as strong as I can become, I decided that it was time to restore World peace."
