Ryu floated to the ground, handing Hinata to Naruto and grabbing Toneri, dragging him over and tossing him at their feet. The duo just looked at him in confusion and Ryu smiled gently, "I know you can beat him Naruto, but the Raikage is about to collapse. He wants to blow up the Moon so bad, he'll blow me up if he doesn't get to."
He turned the Byakugan in his hands, smiling "Plus, this guy is so nice." he leaned over and patted Toneri's face, "Isn't that right, Toneri? You turned Hanabi's eyes into Tenseigan just for me to come and take them from you, who is as selfless as yourself? Not only that but you gave Hinata Hamura's Chakra to accelerate her own Tenseigan awakening."
He squatted and curled his lips, grinning eerily "Isn't it beautiful? All your actions and plans only to end up where you started, a jumping clown in the palm of my hand. You must be very happy, right? Are you filled with despair? Does it feel good?"
He looked up and smiled happily, "Naruto. Take Hinata and go get Hanabi." Naruto hesitated but looked at Toneri, scowling with an ugly face as he tightened the grip on Hinata, saying "Okay." before leaving, not bothering to have Ryu stop.
Ryu's eyes curled into happy crescents as he said to Toneri, "I know you can hear me, trash. I want you to know, you're absolutely the most disgusting vermin I've ever seen. Even Naruto, the epitome of kindness doesn't even want me to stop mentally torturing you."
He squeezed Toneri's face with one hand, chuckling "Do you know? Not even your corpse will be spared. You'll end up on a surgical table with Konoha's top scientist experimenting on it, researching Otsutsuki cells and blood." he leaned down and whispered, "Your entire clan died for what? Nothing, you will ultimately end up as a specimen. It's that great?"
Blood tears flowed from Toneri's hollow eye sockets as Ryu burst out laughing, "Regret it? What a joke. You're just a Branch Clan from Hamura anyway! Hahaha! Your clan distorted Hamura's meaning purposely, destroyed the Main Clan, took over and proclaimed yourselves as the true clan. Bahaha~ Even Hamura is disgusted with you!"
He looked up and smiled, "This is your trump card? A bunch of eyes from your trash clan? Then let this branch be destroyed as well. Tabi."
Matatabi purred "Do it!" as Ryu opened his mouth, a blue and red fireball Tailed Beast Bomb condensed before blasting the flying eyeballs to ashes with a spiralling flame pillar!
Toneri slumped in disbelief, "Why?! WHY! THE EARTH IS CLEARLY CONSUMED BY DARKNESS!"
Ryu rolled his eyes, saying "Do you think I'm being cruel now, Tabi?" Matatabi was stunned, replying "I didn't know this guy was nuts!"
Ryu laughed and grabbed Toneri's neck as he stood up, saying "Hey! You want to know something else, Toneri? You were supposed to have learned the truth of your clan's deeds and be saved by Hinata and Naruto. Then you would return to the Moon to atone for your sins…"
He clicked his tongue and smiled "Unfortunately, you won't have that luxury anymore… Hehe~" as he pulled on Toneri's back, making him screech in pain while a light green Chakra was ripped out of his body, flowing around Hanabi's Byakugan, slowly infusing into them.
By the time the rest returned, Ryu put a little scroll away and smiled at them, saying "Where's my cute little disciple~?"
Shikamaru held Hanabi as Ryu put her eyes back and Sakura healed them quickly.
Hanabi opened her eyes and they blossomed with the Tenseigan as she said "Ah! Feels different." Ryu knocked on her head, smiling "Stupid kid, you have the Tenseigan now. Though this doesn't mean you can stop practicing your Blood Surging Art!"
Hanabi pouted at him and Naruto asked "That… Ryu, where's Toneri?" Ryu looked at him and said "Toneri? Who? The Otsutsuki guy?"
Naruto nodded and Ryu smiled, "Dead. Killed him." Naruto sighed and nodded, Ryu shook his head and said "You can't have sympathy for the Otsutsuki clan, Naruto. This isn't the first and certainly will not be the last of them. The very safety of the Earth itself is in danger by their mere existence! They're not like us, not human at all. They're invading aliens, kindness will get nowhere with these people."
Sakura asked in confusion "What do you mean?"
Ryu pointed at the Earth behind him with his thumb saying "Do you know why 90% of our Planet is a devastated wasteland? Because the God Tree and Chakra Fruit was made with our Planet's Vitality! Why is Nature Energy different from Chakra? That's the Natural Energy of the Planet! Because of Kaguya's arrival and invasion, the system of energy we use has changed."
He pointed at Naruto and continued, "The reason why practicing with Natural Energy is so dangerous is because of the existence of Chakra conflicting with that energy. That's why 6 Paths can only be hurt by Taijutsu and Senjutsu. Cultivating Sage Mode itself is nourishing to the Planet which is why it's so strong."
He smiled and explained simply, "You give to the Earth and the Earth gives back." the group was stunned and Naruto said in shock "Really?!" Ryu nodded and added, "Though, that doesn't mean we should abandon Chakra, we cannot, nor should we. It's the same thing in the end. It's all energy. Not to mention, we can't even get rid of it if we tried."
He paused and covered his eye, saying suddenly, "Ah. Gotta go…" before slapping the Moon itself as it started to move to its original position as Ryu disappeared in a vortex of blue and red flames.
Shikamaru sighed, "You really learn something new everyday." The rest nodded in deep agreement…
Ryu returned to Konoha, emerging through Kakashi's eye as he said "What happened?" Kakashi pointed at the TVs.
Ryu turned around and said flatly "What is it? I'm busy." They looked at him and finally said "Solved?" Ryu grinned and swiped his nose with his thumb, "Who do you think I am? I'm the Hokage! Of course it was solved!" He waved and said "Now, I'm tired! See ya, nerds!" as he terminated the connection and left, stretching his back, "Ugh! A bunch of stiffs! I never wanted this job!"
Kakashi rolled his eyes, "Me neither." Ryu snorted "No wonder, you threatened me to become a missing-nin with Guy if I didn't agree! What kind of bastard does that!? Honestly!"
Kakashi chuckled and ignored him.
A few days later~
Naruto burst into Ryu's house, saying "Ryu! I'm getting Married!"
Ryu dropped the plate in his hand and fumbled it in the air as Anko froze, dropping the plate in her hand to the ground, staring at Naruto in a daze.
Naruto paused and stared at the duo as Ryu fumbled the plate in the air, ultimately dropping it on the ground and sighing at the mess…
Anko hugged Naruto and squeezed him happily, crying "You are?! Finally! My boy! I'm so happy!" Naruto teared up and hugged her tight. Aino scooped up the food, stuffing her mouth as she said "Married? What kinda Dango is that?"
Ryu smacked the back of her head, shouting "It's not a Dango! It's something you can never do, understand?!" Anko turned around and shouted "WHAT!? What do you mean?!"
Ryu furrowed his brows, saying "Huh? What do you mean 'What do you mean'???" Anko pointed at him, saying in shock "Exactly what I said! What do you mean?! Of course, she'll get married!"
Ryu frowned tightly, saying "No." Anko exploded, shouting "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO!?" Ryu crossed his arms and said "Just what I said! No! She will not! She'll be my baby girl forever! Hmph! Married! Yeah right! Maybe when I die!"
Anko punched him in the face, roaring "THEN DIE! BASTARD!"
Ryu flew out of the house and wiped his nose, saying "I refuse!" Naruto started to sweat, saying "Hey, hey… I'M getting married… Not Aino. She's only 6…"
Aino scooped up the stir fried rice, nodding "Ah! I'm going to Ninja School soon! That stupid fatty next door is also going! I hate that guy, like, why are you so fat? You know?"
Naruto almost fell over and Ryu got up, rubbing Aino's hair, smiling "Yeah, stupid fatty. Right?" Aino pointed her spoon at Ryu and said with an expression of 'Someone finally understands!', "I know, right?! Damn fatty! Hate that guy!"
Ryu laughed and Anko shook her fist in rage. He quickly walked up the stairs before coming back down with an absolutely huge chest with a Spiral on it.
Naruto looked at the box and said "Huh? Isn't that…"
Ryu smiled and said "The very same! You still remember?" Naruto nodded in confusion "What is it for?"
Ryu sat on the chair and patted the chest, smiling gently, "This… belongs to you." Naruto was confused and Ryu explained "Put your hand on the spiral."
Naruto walked over and touched the spiral. It slowly swirled and the chest unlocked.
He froze and teared pooled in his eyes as the entire chest was filled with stacks of neat bills and mementos throughout his life. Even little things from Minato and Kushina that Ryu kept from them when they were alive.
Ryu said softly "I had to fight tooth and nail for your inheritance money. It's all in here. Every last penny from Minato and Kushina, as well as the savings I've been putting in it for these 19 years… It's all been for this moment."
Naruto hugged Ryu tightly and cried on his shoulder, sobbing "Th-Thank you… Dad…" Ryu smiled softly and patted his back, saying "Alright, it's not a big deal. Go buy your own house, kid. Take this with you and get out of here, I'm busy being the Greatest Hokage to ever live, you know?"
Naruto let go of him and wiped his eyes, laughing "For now!" as he took the chest and left, tears continuously spilling from his eyes as he ran off.
Ryu wiped his eyes and cursed with a smile, "Stupid bastard! Gotta make me cry everytime!" Aino muttered "Silly daddy, there goes all our money. Aino's gonna have to look for a nice and comfy cardboard box for shelter when we live on the streets…" before sighing.
Ryu's lips twitched and he squished her cheeks around as she giggled, "Dumb girl, who's living on the streets?!" Aino giggled and smiled happily, "Daddy's a big baby~" Ryu laughed and kissed her forehead, saying "Yeah… But not as big as you~!"
As he attacked her face with kisses as she shouted "Ah! Mommy! Help! Oh god!" Anko smiled gently and 'attacked' Aino as well, putting the little girl in despair.
