Chapter 62 - Retirement

.....

It's about time I come clean on this one. I simply just got burned out trying to write this fan fiction. My private life interrupted with this novel by a ton and a lot of unfortunate stuff has happened to my equipment. And I truthfully have no idea where to go from here on out with this novel. But I am at least give you guys the ending to Suburu's journey.

...

Sitting down inside of a dimly lit room, A cloaked figure could be seen causally sitting on what seems to be a throne. His seemingly soft but somehow powerful hands gently swirled what seemed to be a glass of wine. And with his dark eyes, he stared at the red wine with a melancholic expression.

"Hmmmm? He voiced out in interest as his gate began to feel weird. "This feels different? Could this perhaps be what happened to puck back then?"

Feeling his mana try and push out of his gate forcefully. He looked towards the walls of the castle before sending od into his eye lids. This action made it to where he could see signs of life for over 200 kilometers. And sadly, not a single form of life was seen. Even the grass on the ground had somehow began to rot into a nasty and chilly black color.

Sighing, the man began to slowly release his mana outward into the world while thinking back to his success. 'Satela was released and that dragon bastard decided to help her. Hell even Reinhard decided to help them out.' Rubbing his hand over his chest, he could make out the outline of a deep scar going across it.

'I barely survived their combined efforts; but I managed to come out on top in the end.' As the mana started to bear down pressure on the air causing cracks to begin to appear. He looked towards a painting on the wall which showed a blue haired woman with 7 children surrounding her. In the middle was an aged man similar to himself with a smile ok his face.

'I'm sorry Rem.' He thought to himself as a frown appeared on his face and a fist began to fork over his chest. 'I couldn't protect you from Satella.... I couldn't even protect our children.' Bringing his fist over his face, he showed a bitter expression.

"Was this really the power I wanted?" He spoke aloud as the crack in space began to deepen. "Being the only being to exist in a 200km radius?" Bitterly laughing he began to remember the name of his area. "Hell, they even began to call this place the demon kings castle. How ironic is it Rem? The husband of a Oni is a demon king?"

And as the cracks in time and space started to make the castle crumble. Suburu looked towards one of the cracks with interest and raised an eyebrow in surprise. 'This dimension doesn't feel empty.' He thought while fully reinforcing his eyes with of and mana.

Looking at what was inside of the portal, he began to laugh before putting his hand on his head. "I see! So that is the true nature of Yin! Manipulation of gravity, space, and time!" Slowly putting down his hand, he laid it on top to his throne before pushing himself off.

This simple push caused many cracks to go throughout the ground even causing the whole entire castle to shudder. Noticing this, he looked at his hands with surprise before signing. "I guess it's understandable, it's been 2000 years and my body has been strengthened constantly under my overbearing mana and technique."

looking over at the picture of his deceased family, he closed his eyes and his breath shuddered. "Sorry Rem, I destroyed our home on accident. You won't be angry with me right?"

'You did after all always understand me best.'

Smiling, the man took off his hood revealing Suburu. However, this Suburu had not aged well. His eyes seemed lifeless and his mouth seemed frozen in a perpetual frown. He somehow however had not aged at all. The only scar on his body could only be the one on his chest.

'It's a reminder.' He thought to himself while feeling the scar again. 'A reminder of my familiar.'

He could indeed remove the scar, he had already figured out TRUE immortality. His souls was undying and his body could never be destroyed. But he took all of his past sins and failures and put them all into that scar.

He considered the scar to be all of the moments leading up to the present 'him'. Moving his eyes back towards the tear in space. He sighed before walking through it it.

'welcome home' he through to himself.

...

Stepping out of the portal and into what seemed to be a countryside. Suburu looked to his left and saw what seemed to be a normal log cabin. Interested at this worlds aspects, he decides to get serious and scanned the entirety of the world.

'Ronald Rump is president?' He thought to himself before going towards the cabin. 'I thought Rorack R Roma was the president?'

Pushing open the door, he saw a sickly man lying on top of a bed with sweat trickling down his face. Scanning the clothing stores of this world, he snapped his fingers and his outfit was changed into a suit in the darkest black that this world had ever seen. The color was a side effect of him using Yin magic.

Sitting down by the young man sides, he looked towards an anime that was on the screen and raised an eyebrow. "Night guy?"

On the screen, a man that seemed to be burning with power had kicked what seemed to be a man in half causing Suburu to smirk. 'Not up to par with my power, but it certainly is impressive. I believe this is Naruto?'

While in his own thoughts, he raised his hand over the sickly man and sent a flash of light inside of him. Over time, the young man seemed to regain his bearings before opening his eyes and looked my over at our main character.

"Subaru?" The man said in confusion seeing his appearance. Snapping out of his thoughts, our mc looked towards the younger man with interest.

"Say young man." He said loudly causing the young man to almost die from the power in his voice. 'Oh my bad young one.'

Sending out a wisp of his power, he quickly healed up the bursted ear drums and damage he did to the brain. Ignoring the boys fear, he started to control his vocal muscles before speaking once again.

"is this better?" He asked in a casual tone while looking towards the boy in case of sudden death.

"Y-yeah, I-it is." He said with clear fear as he tried to make sense of what is happening. "W-Who are you?"

Leaning back in his chair, Suburu stuck a finger up his nose before looking at the anime playing on the t.v. "The names God kid. Or the closest one you'll ever see that is. Say... who is that guy that's currently dying?" He asked while pointing towards the charred and dying man.

"Oh that's Might Guy." The boy said with passion as he looked towards the man. "He's the sensei of rock lee! He's also the strongest taijustu master there ever was!"

"Boy." Sub...God said while looking towards the kid. "You sound like a fan boy? What's so special about him?"

"Well....." the kid said while scratching his face before looking down. "He's strong....."

"Yeah? And?"

"And I'm weak....." the boy said with a bitter smile while looking at his hands. "But I'd say I like rock lee more."

"Oh?" God said while scanning his eyes over the boys body. "Born prematurely are we? I guess it is predictable that someone like you would like him. Also kid.... I've scanned the entire world with my powers, why are you the only person alive in a 100 km radius?"

"I'm rich." The kid said flatly to god. "And I was dying."

"..."

"No friends at all?"

"Nope."

"....."

Sighing, god leaned back before looking towards the screen. And in spark of boredom decided to ask him a question. "Do you feel that your life was wasted? Do you regret not trying hard enough to change everything?"

"....." Confused at the question. He looked at god with a tilted head. "Uhhhhh, I suppose? I mean I've been weak my whole life, my parents kicked me out of the inheritance and sent me to die alone, and I have no friends...."

"....."

Looking at each other, God sighed before parting the kid on the shoulder. "Parents names?"

"Richard banks, Theresa banks."

Smiling, a light shined in his eyes before speaking once again. "Ok they are dead now."

"...."

"what? They ticked me off kid." God said with a frown before using an unseen hand to smoothly move the boys head towards the television.

"Say kid? What if I could give you a new chance at life? One away from disease and boredom? What would you do with it?"

"I don't know." The kid said truthfully. "It depends on what cards I'm dealt II guess."

Moving his eye towards god as his head was stuck. He asked a question. "What would you do God?"

"Why it's simple." God said with a almost uncomfortable smile. "Conquer everything and everyone only to end up alone and reincarnate wasted people like I once was."

"...." Staring at god in silence, the boy sighed before smiling. "So what now?"

"I don't know kid." God said with a bored expression. "What world and person do you want to be born into? And at what age also?"

"Rock lee, age 5." The Boy said with zero hesitation.

Smiling god began to use his mana and caused a tear in space to open besides them. His eyes then turned white as many images began to fly throughout his head before arriving at the original time line of Naruto. He then locked on to the body of a 5 year old lee knocked out by 3 laughing kids and frowned.

Using his powers, he erased the 3 kids from existence before also erasing Lee's soul. Looking back at the boy on the bed he smiled sadistically.

"Good luck kid. This is going to hurt like a bitch." He then forcefully tore the kid out of his body and used his power to keep the kids soul from being released back into the reincarnation cycle of this world. 'And may you not turn out like me.'

Throwing the soul inside the portal, he let out a sigh before bringing his attention back onto this world. He even thought about Rem and his family along with his ability to go back in time. But even he knows he can't go back. His past self would immediately take notice of him and cause all versions of himself to be erased causing a paradox which would erase everyone else in his timeline.

It's a bitter reality, but he's learned to live with it.... in his own way of course....

'nukes huh?' He thought to himself before snapping his fingers causing all the nukes and knowledge of them to disappear. 'We won't be needing that now, don't want this new world of MINE to be destroyed.'

Teleporting himself, he came across a school campus and decided to download all existing knowledge of every human being on the planet. He could now be considered the best teacher, assassin, doctor, fisherman, etc. And with said knowledge he manipulated the government data base with his powers and even the memories of the people in this area to give himself a place in this world.

Still wearing his impossibly black suit, he made his way to a classroom before scanning his eyes over the chatting students. In the back was actually a relative of his. It was a surprise to him, but it actually seemed to be his daughter of his past life.

Or an unknown one at least. But as she was still related to his past self, he decided maybe it was time to retire and become a teacher. Maybe teaching these kids to save lives would somehow bring him redemption.

And with a smile, he softly sent out a frequency cussing everyone to turn their way to the front of the class in confusion. Noticing a unfamiliar teacher, they all began to whisper among themselves.

"Now, now, class." God said with a smile. "First take a seat and I'll introduce myself."

All now seated, God coughed to himself before turning towards the board. Too lazy to write, he created an illusion of himself writing a name on the board. And once it was written, a nostalgic smile appeared on his face before disappearing entirely.

"Good morning students. My name is John, your new teacher for this semester. I hope you will treat me well. Because I'm going to make you the best humans this world has ever seen."

...

Well that's the end to that. And if you aren't blind, you should have an idea about what I'm going to do with my next idea. It's been an idea for a long time and I plan to hopefully complete it. Thank you all for reading this fan fiction!
