A heads up: The next 9 chapters (-1 where the scene will change) will take place in Oblivion, where he unites it under his name.

"What about you, Kou?" Naruto asked as we climbed to the top of the Hokage Tower. Naruto already summoned Jutengu and told him he wanted to go there to train. Much to the latter's delight.
"I will also go to the land of my summon and try to solve the crisis there. It will be training and recruiting. If I can pull it off, not only will I get stronger, I will also have different summons that can help me further in the future." I answered. This was my plan for a while now. I want to go to Oblivion to put some sense into other Daedra. How dare they rise against me!
"Okay good!" Naruto smirked as he looked at me." When we return, I will show you once and for all who is the elder brother!"
"Sure, sure." I copied his smirk as I clasped my arm on my chest. "Work hard, Naruto and remember what I told you."
He looked at my eyes gazing at his belly, he understood what I meant. I told him long ago to talk with Kurama to mend their relationship and not-so-subtly nudged him to believe Kurama was also a victim. After hearing it so many times, he too started to believe it. Now, they were talking often, but still Kurama wasn't fully trusting him. Hopefully in the years he spends in Tengu Realm, he will learn how to fully work with Kurama. If not, I have a bad foreboding feeling that something can go awry.
Soon, Naruto disappeared in smoke and only Tsunade, Kakashi, Jiraiya and I were left on the rooftop. "Fifth-Sama, if I may suggest, I think it would be wise to reach out to other villages and let the existence of Akatsuki and their goal be known."
"Why should we help other villages?" Tsunade asked.
"Enemy of my enemy." I said only, then vanished as well. What they did after that, wasn't my concern. Although I wanted them to form an alliance early to battle against Akatsuki, if they didn't, it wasn't the end of the game either. I have full trust in my abilities. Especially after a few years I will spend in Oblivion.

"This kid is weird. Nothing like a 13 year old." Tsunade shook her head, her eyes filled with both confusion and admiration for the young Shinobi, Koushin. He was a prodigy in his own right, demonstrating skills and wisdom well beyond his years. Despite his young age, he possessed a mature, strategic mind and an uncanny ability to read situations and anticipate the needs of his teammates.
"How trustworthy is he?" Jiraiya asked with a squint, trying to get a better understanding of the boy who had managed to gain the trust of so many within the village, including the Hokage herself. It was rare for someone so young to be trusted so implicitly, and Jiraiya wanted to know just what made Koushin stand out from the rest.
"I would bet my life on it." Kakashi said without hesitation. Koushin had saved his life twice, and on multiple occasions had gone out of his way to help others, even when it wasn't necessary. He had no doubt where Koushin's loyalty lay. As a member of Kakashi's Team 7, Koushin had formed a strong bond with his teammates, Naruto and Hinata. His unwavering support and quick thinking had often been the key to their success during missions.
"I also fully trust him. He is a good Shinobi and brother. He wouldn't do anything to hurt Naruto," Tsunade added, her voice firm and determined. Jiraiya wanted to say something but, seeing as he was outnumbered, he shut his mouth and looked at the mountain. Seeing Minato's face, he helplessly sighed. He always thought he would make up with Naruto after he grew up, but now, he missed his chance. After all, he abandoned him when he was little.
Koushin had proven himself time and time again, not only to his teammates but also to his Sensei, Kakashi. His incredible skills and dedication to the village had earned him the respect and admiration of many. Tsunade also had a soft spot for Koushin, as he had stepped up to help on several occasions, always putting the needs of others before his own.
In his very first mission, Koushin's keen instincts and intelligence had led him to uncover a secret ploy that ultimately saved the lives of three young genins. His resourcefulness and courage under pressure were traits that made him an invaluable member of the team.
Not only was Koushin an excellent team player, but he was also an innovative thinker. He had invented a few variations of the Rasengan technique and generously shared his discoveries with the village without holding anything back. His selflessness and commitment to the growth and protection of his fellow Shinobi were traits that endeared him to both his peers and superiors.
"It's not just Naruto and Hinata that he has helped either," Kakashi continued. "Koushin has shared his insights with many others in the village. Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, and some others have been given brand new, innovative techniques no one has ever seen. If they can learn them, their power would soar."
Tsunade nodded in agreement, "That's true. He has been instrumental in helping the younger generation of Shinobi develop new skills and techniques. It's impressive how much he has contributed to the growth of our village in such a short time."
Jiraiya couldn't help but be impressed as well. It was clear that Koushin was truly a special Shinobi with a bright future ahead of him. But he still couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Koushin robbed his chance to connect with Naruto, and there was no one else to blame but himself.

I appeared in the Mahrune's Temple and there stood the Servant of This Realm on her knees. Beside her was Female Arachnoids and Harrada tribe with tens of Atronachs. Shadowmere also came close to me and nudged me with her nose. I petted as I looked at all of them with a smile.
"Long time, no see. How have all of you been?"
"We are great, my lord. Waiting for your return!" The Servant of This Realm said as she too smiled.
"Good, this time I came here to conquer other planes of Oblivion. Get everyone ready for battle. As soon as you are ready, we will charge to the closest plane." I ordered.
"As you command, my liege!" All of them kneeled at the same time. After I dismissed them all except the Servant of This Realm, I sat on the throne. She was still on her knee.
"Tell me your name, calling you the way you introduced yourself is a mouthful." I said with a tired sigh.
"My name is Silva Vesiuius, my lord. I was the priestess of Great Dagon! But in this realm, I am your servant." She said as she lowered her head further.
"I see." I nodded, "Rise Silva, since you are the only one who obeyed me, you will be my right hand. When I am not around, you are in control!"
"Thank you my lord! I will not fail your trust." She said with a full zest.
"Good. Now tell me the closest plane." I asked. There are several planes under different Daedric Princes and in all those planes there are different Daedras. Some of them are much more dangerous than others. Although I ordered them to prepare to battle to the closest plane, I am not planning to charge blindly. I will assess the situation first, then battle.
"Closest to us is Shivering Isles, my Lord." Silva said.
"Gnarl, Baliwog, Scalon, Grummite, Elytra, Skinned Hound, the undead Shambles, the Daedric Golden Saint and Dark Seducer, the Hunger and the Flesh Atronach." I muttered as I tried to remember.
"How do you know all of that, my lord?" Silva asked in shock.
"I am the chosen one, remember?" I smiled lightly as I asked, "Do you think we can conquer there?"
"It will be done, my lord. You just watch." She bowed as she reassured.
"Alrighty then, I will follow you and act if something goes awry."
