Chapter 6: Shadows of Control
One and a half months had passed since Yuto had secured control over the daimyo of the five great nations and a neutral country. He was training in the estate's courtyard with Jenny, who was growing stronger by the day. Their sparring sessions had become more intense, with Jenny improving her timing and strength.
They had just finished a round of combat, with kunai, jutsus, and punches flying at each other in a fierce exchange. After half an hour, both paused, panting heavily.
"You're getting stronger," Yuto said, wiping some sweat from his brow. "Last week, you could only hold out for 23 minutes. You've improved a lot—your jutsu timing was almost perfect. I had to stay on my toes."
Jenny pouted for a moment but then smiled happily as Yuto patted her head. "You're getting stronger every day too, Yuto," she said with admiration.
Yuto smiled and replied, "Yeah, and you too."
Jenny went off to prepare something light to eat, while Yuto sat down and entered his mind, syncing with Gaia through their soul connection. He muttered softly, "Status."

"Ahhh, next week is the meeting of the five daimyo," Yuto muttered under his breath. "If people knew a four-year-old boy controlled six daimyo of the five big nations and a neutral country..."
He marveled at how he had subtly control the fire daimyo first by using him he asked for a five diamyo's meeting, using his assistant Yuto (soul clone) to infiltrate the iron country a neutral country to controled there daimyo and ther circle and then working his way to the other diamyo's when they went for the meeting. The other nations fell in line one by one. It had taken 100,000 soul coins to ensure his control over the daimyo and their ministers.
But seeing his bottomed soul coins reserve assistant Yuto couldn't rest easily, so he went gathered soul coins from hunting down bandits, earning just over 101,000 coins in total.
He couldn't help but smirk, thinking about Jenny's reaction two weeks ago when he revealed the truth to her.

Two Weeks Ago – Nighttime, Yuto's Manor
Yuto had told Jenny everything—how he had gradually gained control over the daimyo. At first, Jenny had been shocked, but then she nodded, trusting in Yuto's methods. Just as he finished, Gaia's voice chimed in.

Yuto had been surprised at the new title, but it didn't faze him. He already had a more powerful similar skill—"Women's Trust."
Jenny, noticing Yuto in a brief daze, asked with concern, "Are you okay? Why do you zone out sometimes? And changes your expression in the daze "
Yuto hesitated, wondering if he should tell her about Gaia. After a moment of contemplation, he asked Gaia mentally, Can I tell her about you?
[Ding
Yes, you can.]
With that, Yuto revealed everything. He explained his past, his death in another world, and how he had been reborn in this one. He also poured the memories of the Naruto series into her mind.
Jenny's reaction was heartbreaking. She cried for over an hour as she learned about Yuto's tragic childhood—how he was bullied at the orphanage, forced to steal to survive, and beaten by adults until he ran away. She saw how he was adopted by a weapon lord, only to be betrayed in a deadly deal.
Finally, Yuto had to stop her from crying. "You've cried long enough," he said, trying to sound more patient than he felt.
Jenny said I think Tenten from Naruto is our daughter or may be a grand daughter because my mothers was Tenten , and from the memories Tenten should be weapon traders daughter.
Yuto thaught and nodded it must be, because she also looks like you, but let leave it to the future and I have to introduce you to another of my wife.
Then, Yuto introduced her to Gaia, explaining her role in his life. Jenny was fascinated and began conversing with Gaia through their soul connection. What began as a peaceful discussion turned into a lighthearted bickering session between Jenny and Gaia—each trying to claim their place in Yuto's heart.
"I'm his first woman. He kissed me first, proposed to me first," Jenny said proudly, crossing her arms.
Gaia, undeterred, responded with a smug tone, "But I've lived with him the longest."
Jenny was left speechless for a moment, but then both women burst out laughing.
Yuto, watching them, could only shake his head. Women... no one can ever understand them, he mused.

Yuto was pulled out of his reverie by Jack's voice. "What's going on, Yuto?"
Jack's tone was urgent. "The daimyo's meeting is next weekend. Would you like to go?"
Yuto thought for a moment and nodded. "Yes, I'll attend."
"Alright," Jack said. "Be ready by noon tomorrow. We'll leave Fire Country then."
Yuto called for Jenny. "Do you want to come with us?" he asked.
Jenny's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly. "Of course! But... how will I attend without being seen?"
Yuto smiled and took her into his dimension, where a massive Gothic-style villa stood majestically before them. "What do you think?" he asked.
"It's beautiful!" Jenny said, her eyes wide with awe.
Yuto gave her a tour of the dimension, showing her various rooms, including a large conference room with a pixelated glass screen in the center. Jenny asked curiously, "What's this?"
Yuto explained, "It's a special screen that connects to my ninja camera. It will show the meeting from my perspective."
Jenny realized what he was planning. "So, I can watch the meeting live?" she asked, excitedly.
Yuto nodded. "Exactly. You'll see everything that happens."
Jenny smiled, but then grew more curious. "If you've already controlled the daimyo, why do you need the meeting?"
"There are two reasons," Yuto explained. "First, the others need to see how the proposal came to be. Second, I control the daimyo's loyalty, but they're not puppets. They have their own needs and want a share of the profits. This meeting will allow them to negotiate openly."
Jenny nodded in understanding.
They spent the rest of the afternoon talking, but soon Yuto had to leave. Before departing, Yuto changed his appearance using his transmutation technique, shrinking his size and shifting his body shape to resemble an unassuming personal assistant.
Jack was speechless as Yuto transformed before his eyes. "Let's go," Yuto said casually.
Shaking his head in disbelief, Jack chuckled. "You never cease to amaze me."
And with that, they set off toward the Fire Daimyo's palace, ready for the next phase of Yuto's grand plan.
