"This is my world," Shun said.
"Your world?" she asked puzzled.
"Yes, my world. I created this place" Shun said, pride could be heard in his tone.
"How?" Hinami asked.
"Simple, with seals. Similar to how uncle created the small space on the moon leading to earth, but more advanced" Shun replied.
"Do you need a rundown on the creation?" He asked.
Hinami nodded curiously.
"Well, you've seen me use my space ring to store things on numerous occasions, right? I used the principle of creating a space in an object to create it. At first, it was a little dimension but due to circumstances, it grew to this stage." He explained.
Hinami nodded and said, "Good, but you seem to forget that I don't even know the principle you're talking about in the first place"
"Ah?"
"Why the look of surprise, do you think everyone is you and father?" She asked while rolling her eyes.
Shun chuckled dryly and answered, "Well, I thought as you didn't ask about the space ring, then you understand how it works, my bad"
Hinami nodded and indicated for him to continue.
"I created a seal to fold space into an object, first it was a scroll, then I thought of making it into a small and portable object and the result was the space ring. As the initial creation of the dimension, I used the same format but this time, I went over to make sure that life and time can exist in there as in the space ring, there is no time, everything is static and will remain that way forever, I think."
"After creating the space, I entered and found it was empty and then I did a little renovation using all the elements to create the sun, moon, land, air, and water. I also mixed some elements to create rain, storms, ice, magma, and many more. It was okay at first and was connected to me, and after I kind of evolved, it became more perfect, becoming a world of its own and operating normally"
Shun explained as concisely as possible and then noticed that Hinami was looking at him with an emotion akin to reverence, the doubled-up version of awe, which made him feel weird.
"Why are you looking at me that way?" Shun asked.
Hinami lunged at him and hugged him tightly while screaming, "You're amazing Shun, as expected of my man"
"Haha, of course, I'm amazing," Shun said while laughing boisterously.
While this was going on, Fenrir who had already felt Shun appearing back with another person he couldn't recognize was thinking, "Who is that weird person close to father, if the knowledge father left me is right, then she is a female which means she is father's mate thereby making her my mother, hum hum" he concluded while nodding sagely as if he had discovered some secret.
While this was going on, Shun began explaining the process of creating the space ring and dimension, which he didn't understand a single thing but hearing Hinami call Shun amazing, he thought, 'but of course,"
Shun who was being praised by Hinami and laughing happily suddenly felt Fenrir's presence and said to him telepathically, 'reduce your size to as small as possible.'
Fenrir didn't know the reason for that or even how to go about it but he immediately got the knowledge on transformation and immediately transformed into the smallest version of himself he could think of.
Shun, who was hugging Hinami released her and said, "I have someone to show you, prepare yourself" he then waved his hands and teleported Fenrir who just reduced to his smallest version.
Fenrir was shocked at the sudden change of environment and looked around in confusion until he finally saw Shun and immediately let out a deep breath and said, "You scared me there father,"
Hinami at first was shocked at the appearance of the cute puppy that appeared in Shun's hand but the next moment, hearing the puppy talk, screamed out and grabbed the puppy from Shun's hands at a speed that even Shun couldn't follow.
"Waa, what a cute dog, Shun~ can I have it?" Hinami asked with stars in her eyes.
"Sure" he replied casually.
Fenrir who was still shocked at another change in the environment finally got his bearings back and noticed that he was in the hands of his father's mate, hearing her call him a dog, he wanted to feel insulted and rebuke her but the next instant she asked to keep him and his father accepted instantly.
He looked at Shun with a look of betrayal in his eyes, like a child that was abandoned.
Shun saw the look in his eyes but didn't pay it any mind but said telepathically to him, "I'm sorry for your loss little Fenrir, just bear with it for a little while, you'll see it's worth it"
"Bu-" Fenrir tried to say something but the link was immediately cut off.
"What's his name? Does he have one? Can I name him? Wait, is it a he or a she?" Hinami shot a barrage of questions at Shun.
"Fenrir. Yes. I don't think so. He" Shun answered accordingly.
"What?" Hinami asked confused.
"His name is Fenrir. Yes, he has a name. I don't think you can or should name him. And it's he. I'm surprised you didn't ask why he could talk" Shun replied.
"Oh. Wait he can talk. How? And why can't I name him?" She asked.
"Well, I don't think you should name him because it would take a huge chunk of your chakra permanently and as for why he can talk, it's because I created and named him" Shun replied casually and walked towards the mansion entrance.
Hinami stood there in shock for some time trying to wrap her head around the fact of Shun creating Fenrir. After thinking for a while, she sighed and thought, 'Seems like the more I stay with Shun, the more my common sense is overwritten' and then followed him into the mansion.
Inside the mansion, Shun had already begun preparing something to eat when Hinami entered. Entering the mansion, Hinami was once again shocked at the foreign things she saw inside and instead of trying to understand what they were, she just strode in and sat down on a sofa nearby as that was the only thing she could identify and started stroking Fenrir gently.
Fenrir on the other hand was already resigned as he didn't have any other choice and was enjoying the stroking.
Minutes later, Shun was done preparing the food and set them on the table nearby, and called Hinami to join him.
After the meal, they explored the dimension for a few days together with Fenrir accompanying them, Fenrir had already warmed up to Hinami during this period and was no longer uncomfortable.
On this day, Shun suddenly said, "I think I want to home"
Hinami looked at him and said, "Ok"
"I'm thinking Of leaving now," Shun said shocking Hinami.
"Wait what? I'm not prepared to meet uncle, you know, I'm nervous" Hinami said nervously.
"Don't mind the small stuff, nothing would go wrong, and besides, father is your uncle so what is there to be nervous about? In any case, he'd be happy for us" Shun said trying to calm her down.
"But..."
"Alright no time to waste, I have a seal near the village, so we shul b there immediately," Shun said
"Wai-" Hinami wanted to stop him but he immediately placed his hands on her shoulders and disappeared.
"-t" As her words fell, she immediately noticed the shift in environment, air, energy, and time.
Previously, it was nighttime in the dimension but currently, it was midday, and a few hundred meters in front of them wa the village.
Shun was immediately hit with a sense of nostalgia as he caught sight of the village. 'He many years has it been, 3? or 4?' he thought as he started walking toward the village.
Hinami, who had Fenrir in h arms followed suit while fidgeting.
Atte walked for some time, they came upon the village gate and Shun stopped and looked around the village from the gate without using his [Spiritual Sense].
"I'm back," Shun said as he took in the sight in front of him. Hinami had reached him and was still fidgeting.
"Shall we?" he said to Hinami.
Hinami nodded and he held her left hand with his right hand and walked into the village.
Entering the village, he noticed a tense atmosphere in the village and the villagers seemed pensive. Some even looked at him and looked away immediately and walked away.
Shun had an idea of what is going on and sighed softly.
"Somethings wrong with this place," Hinami said softly but Shun heard her and nodded his head and shook his head.
"Ah Shun, I see you're back" Shun heard a loud voice and turned around to see who it was and saw it was someone he knew all too well.
"Hmm? Takumi, I see you've been well, how did you know that I was back?" Shun asked as he asked the man now known as Takumi.
Takumi was a close friend of Ashura who followed him on his quest 4 years ago. Back then they were close but Shun only had eyes on Indra and Ashura and didn't communicate well with others except for some perfunctory greetings.
"How else did you expect to walk into the village without someone spotting you? One of the children came reporting a man with pure white hair and covering his eye entering the village with a beautiful girl, who else but you covers his eyes in this entire village?" Takumi said as he laughed and patted Shun's shoulders.
Hinami blushed and smiled shyly at being called beautiful and relaxed a little as the tension in the air seemed to have reduced a lot.
"Oh. I sometimes forget about the blindfold. Hahaha. How have you been these few years, Ashura?" Shun asked
At the mention of Ashura, Takumi's emotions fluctuated slightly, and immediately calmed down and said, "A lot has happened in your absence, come in first, I'm sure you'll catch up with what's happening soon. You should go meet the old man first"
Saying this, he started walking and Shun followed him while thinking, ' The constant fight between Ashura and Indra must be the reason for all these, sigh '
As they walked, Shun introduced Hinami to Takumi and they exchanged some small talk and not talked about anything concerning his brothers. They met some people who greeted Shun warmly and praised Hinami's beauty.
Sometime later, they reached the largest building in the entire village and Takumi said, "I guess this Is as far as I can go, I'll talk to you later" and flickered away.
'Hmm? Body Flicker Jutsu? Guess they learned it from Indra's notes 'cause I never even thought of that as I'm already fast enough. I guess I'll look into a movement technique, maybe [Shunpo] and [Sonido]' {a/n: Flash step. and hollow version of flash step from bleach}
Shaking off the thoughts from his head, he looked at Hinami who started fidgeting again, and said softly, "Relax, nothing will happen, just take it as if you're visiting your uncle"
She took a deep breath and exhaled and then nodded her head. Shunnseeing this smiled brightly and held her hands bringing her into the house.
As they walked, some servants saw them and either gasped in surprise at seeing Shun again or at Hinami's beauty. Some servants who were old enough recognized Hinami and greeted her accordingly as 'Young miss' while greeting Shun as 'Young master.
Shun nodded and smiled at them which caused them to blush but Shun thought while shaking his head, 'I guess being too handsome can also be considered a sin'
Reaching the main hall where Hagoromo should be Shun knocked slightly and pushed the door open while saying, "Old man I'm back. Hope you didn't miss me too much"
"Ah, Shun, It's good to have you back after all these years, How have you been?" Hagoromo smiled genuinely with his wrinkled face at the sight of Shun and smiled even more brightly when he saw Hinami and said, "Ah, little Hina, it's been some time since we last met, how are you?"
It's has been some time Uncle and I've been fine" Hinami answered as she bowed slightly like a noble lady which Shun found amusing and comical as she still held Fenrir tightly in her arms almost on the verge of squeezing the innocent young wolf to death.
After exchanging pleasantries, Shun asked, "Old man, I noticed the atmosphere In the village seemed a bit off, what's going on and where is Ashura?"
"Sigh, that's a long story Shun," Hagoromo said tiredly.
"I have all day long old man," Shun said as he sat down comfortably in front of him.
