Chapter 302: I am done here (2)
———
When the Infinite Tsukuyomi first initiated, Tsunade was already done talking to her long-time-dead ex, Dan Kato.
The talk went more smoothly than Tsunade had initially expected for it to go. To her, Dan was as understanding as ever. However, at this point, Tsunade didn't want to think about the talk any longer, as the things that had ended should stay that way.
Right before the Infinite Tsukuyomi had ended, Dan used one of his soul Jutsu to un-cast the Reanimation Jutsu on himself. Immediately after that, the divine illusion of the Tsukuyomi started and Tsunade was drawn within her own dreams.
This time, she didn't dream of a fulfilling life with Dan or Jiraiya. The person she saw herself in the dream was someone else entirely; someone whom she knew she would end up with even after the dream ended.
The dream did end at some point, who knew how long had passed? Tsunade forgot everything she dreamed of, just like the other victims, however the sweet and addictive feeling of love did remain within her heart.
* * *
The sun was rising in the dark eastern sky while Tsunade was standing against a tree and gazing at it.
She was in Konoha at the moment, as Neji had teleported her here with Dan; therefore, the remaining Konoha people were scattered around her. Though none were close to her, unwilling to disturb the peace that was being reflected in her smile towards the sky.
At one point, when the sun peeked from above the Hokage mountain, a group of three teleported into the middle of the newly made Konoha.
Instantly, the remnants of Konoha Ninjas who were spread across the terrain all flinched in high alert as they sensed three seas of chakra threatening to wash over them.
Everyone watched in nervous silence as the three people— amongst whom the male one looked particularly similar to Neji Hyuga, but with short hair and a different sort of attire on his wearing— approached Tsunade with slow steps.
* * *
The tallest member of the group, a chocolate-skinned beauty with two pairs of bunny ears, crossed her arms and tilted her head as she looked down on Tsunade; Tsunade who had stopped looking up at the sky, and rather met the strange woman's gaze somewhat nervously.
"So this is that woman, Neji?"
The dark-skinned woman asked as she moved her head to look at Neji, causing her long flare of white hair to move from one side to another in a soothing manner.
"The one for whom you killed me once."
"I told you it's not her fault,"
Neji said with a sigh, slowly walking up and putting an arm around Tsunade.
After glaring at Neji for a moment, Rumi groaned before reluctantly shrugging her shoulders.
"Whatever, bastard Neji."
"Hey."
Seeing that the situation wasn't that serious and Neji seemed to be close with this strange woman, Tsunade sighed a little. Somewhat hesitantly, she started to whisper in his ears to ask him what was going on.
"Ah, that."
Neji nodded and decided to explain to the whole crowd, rather than just herself.
"Apologies to everyone,"
Neji said as he looked around the Konoha Ninjas.
"The dream you all experienced and probably forgot by now, was caused by none other than the reincarnated Madara Uchiha."
Neji then pointed his chin at the dark-skinned, and then at the pale-skinned rabbit lookalikes.
"Thanks to these two girls here, however, he is gone now along with the problem he caused. Don't mind us, continue your everyday lives. Farewell."
Saying his sudden goodbyes, Neji touched the three girls with his Mana and then swiftly teleported in flashes, using the Flying Thunder God technique.
* * *
After giving a new name and appearance to the new Little Kaguya, Neji Hado decided to return back to his heaven with Rumi. He had to introduce Rumi to the other girls, and also soothe their worried hearts that he could feel through his connection as their God.
However, he nearly forgot that Tsunade was still in Konoha. So he quickly came into this place to pick her up. Therefore, he didn't waste much time here and just teleported to his heaven as soon as possible.
Neji appeared in the living room inside his godly castle; the room had a huge TV hanging on its wall and was more decorated than any royal bedroom. When he materialised there out of thin air, with three girls beside him, the other girls who were gathered around the room naturally turned their heads to look at him.
"Ah, Neji, you are finally back!"
"Huh? What's with this new look?"
A few of them exclaimed at once, while the majority of them froze in their spots as the figure of Rumi entered their sight of vision. Slowly, they looked at Rumi with caution and their gaze shifted to and forth between Neji and Rumi, asking him if it was alright for her to be here.
"Hey, aren't they quite rude?" Rumi asked Neji with a frown, who shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
"You literally looked like the God from their folklore."
"Oh. Right."

As the conversation was unfolding, on the side Temari ran to Tsunade to ask her about something that was important to her. Temari was still in her dragon [Sage Mode] with her hair white, thanks to the Dragon Curse Mark that Neji had bestowed upon her and Tsunade.
Tsunade, thanks to her masterful control over Chakra, had managed to cancel her own Sage Mode but Temari had yet to do so. At this rate, her body had started to shake in strange chillness as a side effect from using nature chakra for so long. So, she thought to ask Tsunade about a fix for her problem first rather than getting used to the presence of these two new women.
Or that's what she was intending to do….
"What's up with this punk?" the chocolate-skinned, intimidating woman stopped her as she spoke.
The third eye on her forehead shone brightly as she blinked.
"Hm? Oh, she's dying."
"Huh?"
Neji as well frowned as he quickly walked to her and touched Temari's arm.
"Ah, it's cold. Why is it cold?" he soon blinked as the answer came to himself. "I see. My bad, apologies. Though you should have reported to the Voice of Heaven, she would have redirected the news back to me. This seems painful."
Then, with a swift surge of chakra from Neji, the owner of the Curse Mark that caused this phenomenon, the pain and cold vanished as Temari started to feel better.
"…Thanks."
"Don't be stupid and tell me about these things earlier," Neji sighed. "Why didn't you, anyway?"
[Apologies, it was probably me.]
Suddenly, the Voice of Heaven, Sisty spoke.
[I seemed to have told them that you were having the time of your life and therefore she probably didn't wanna ruin the moment.]
"…."
For a long moment, Neji paused. Slowly, he realised a point that he hadn't given much importance to before.
From the start, he has been talking about the 'Girls I am in search of', the 'Saintess' of his cult, and whatnot. He didn't think much of it before, but didn't every girl here feel naturally inferior to Rumi because of all that? To be fair, it was true that he liked Rumi more, but it wasn't healthy to just let things be like this.
His main five girls were all close to each other, and though there was jealousy and stuff there too, it was just fun games that everyone enjoyed. But in this place, at this rate everyone would start hating Rumi.
'On top of that, I was just about to tell them that I want to leave right away to find the other girls…' Neji felt weird all of a sudden.
Firstly, it was his fault that he banged around with so many girls in this world within just two months, it was a big mess because of that. He should have stopped himself and restrained his little head the moment he found the first five believers. Neji promised himself to not make the same mistake in the next world.
But for the immediate problem at hand, he had to think of something as soon as possib—
"So this is the Second Generation of Harem?"
Neji facepalmed inside his head as Rumi said in a most casual voice while registering the appearances of the crowd of 11 girls. Temari, Tenten, Shizune, Sakura, Hanabi, Samui, Arima, Kurenai, Tsunade, Ino, and Karin.
"Hah, Neji. You didn't hold back this time, did you? In just two months, too."
The girls didn't look so pleased with being called the 'Second' as they all glared at Rumi from all sides, while she smirked.
The situation looked as if a batch of Lioness cubs were glaring at their mother who would rather keep messing with them, while the Lion was helpless for once as he face-palmed for real this time.
'I now realise what a good manager Kimi was.'
