Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

In the blink of an eye, 15 years passed in the Shinobi World. There was an exponential increase in the population of Amegakure, becoming one of the most influential and powerful villages, technology also improved a lot in these years.

Speaking of the children, among whom was Log, the first Clone created by Orochimaru, and Mitsuki's older brother, who was also taken away a few years later. They were sent to the Ninja Academy when they turned 6, meaning they spent three years, some four, in the orphanage. They were sent to a different orphanage than the one they normally send other orphans to, where they were raised to be exceptional.

It was their destiny to be so, that's what they were created for. Their genetic code was made up of the two most powerful men in this world. Well, the two most powerful human men.

Before entering the Ninja Academy in Amegakure, they had to meet certain requirements.

1. Love the village and want to help preserve its peace and prosperity.

2. Have a mind that is capable of enduring hard training and work.

3. Be healthy in body and mind.

She herself saw to it that all three conditions were met.

When they met those three requirements for admission, I ordered their immediate admission. All of them were talented, but among them, there were only a couple who were considered monsters.

That same girl whom I personally took charge of bringing to Amegakure graduated in just a few weeks, officially becoming a Genin. She had to wait to continue rising in rank for almost three months, until the next Chūnin exams were finally held in Sunagakure.

She broke all the records there were in the village. That's how excellent she was. And she even left a great impression on the other villages.

Behind her followed the one who had the least chance of standing out in the beginning. Surprisingly, this child was labeled by Orochimaru as a failure, he was the only child who did not inherit the Sharingan, but excelled in the use of his Kekkei Genkai, Mokuton.

The other children would only reach the Kage Class at most. Ai and Denjiro, as they had been called at the orphanage, would one day be Super Kage class, if they tried harder, maybe even more than that.

The basic curriculum for every student at the ninja academy was the same as in Konohagakure, except for history class.

All students were given basic knowledge such as reading, writing, math, science, geography, etc...

When they were well versed in those knowledge, they would begin their classes and training.

She herself must praise the work of Tobirama Senju as Nidaime Hokage, the creation of the Ninja Academy was one of his best deeds. She took his idea and replicated it in Amegakure.

Breaking News: Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, passed away three years after Naruto and Hinata's wedding.

It's funny, isn't it? Even she didn't expect the old man to die four years after bringing him back to life.

Also, with the knowledge of genetics and cloning that she borrowed from Orochimaru and Amado's mind as she delved into their minds, she created her own laboratory in Amegakure, where she dedicated herself to creating more children with different bloodlines, hence the exponential increase in population.

Currently, Amegakure possesses over 12 clans in possession of a unique Kekkei Genkai.

A new branch family of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was born under the command of Toneri, whom I had guide the new generation.

A new branch family of the Uchiha and Senju Clan was also born in Amegakure.

Sasuke was not pleased to hear this news, nor was Fugaku, but it's not like I was going to care.

I couldn't leave the fate of the Uchiha Clan in the hands of Sasuke and Itachi.

Fugaku and Mikoto had not had any more children, so the next Uchiha generation consisted of Sakura and Sasuke's short-sighted daughter, Sarada, and Itachi and Izumi's son, Shisui, named after Itachi's best friend.

Clans such as the Jūgo Clan, named after Jūgo of the Scales, the Yuki Clan, and the Kaguya Clan, were also found on Amegakure's list of clans.

The Jūgo Clan was led by Jūgo, who possesses the innate ability to absorb natural energy from his surroundings. After freeing him from Orochimaru's cursed seal, and giving him a way to control natural energy to stop him from continuing his mad outbursts, he decided to follow me to Amegakure.

The Yuki Clan was led by Haku, originally from Kirigakure, whom I revived on a whim.

After reviving his mother and Zabuza, he decided to follow me, and with my help, he brought back his extinct clan.

Lastly, the Kaguya Clan, led by a boy he believes thanks to DNA extracted from Kimimaro's body, was the new leader of the Kaguya Clan.

I would have liked to bring Kimimaro back, but the boy felt a strong devotion towards Orochimaru, considering him a father figure.

In some ways, Kimimaro is very similar to Haku, his relationship with Orochimaru was very similar to Haku and Zabuza's relationship.

Of course, there were other clans, created out of nothing, and who were new to the Ninja World.

Among them was the Pakura Clan, named after Pakura, from Sunagakure, also revived by Kaguya.

She was betrayed by Sunagakure in the past, handed over to Kirigakure as part of negotiations.

Pakura took her last breath while cursing her village and the Shinobi.

She herself created a Kekkei Genkai known as Burn Release, a combination of Fire Release and Wind Release, which allows her to make orbs of heat that mummify her enemies, killing them instantly.

Kaguya also took pains to revive the Kamizuru Clan, which specialized in the use of bees.

They were able to raise bees in the safe environment of the village now that the climate was not as harsh as before.

They hail from Iwagakure, and were once a well-known clan, but after a failed attempt to invade Konoha, most of them were wiped out by the Aburame Clan's ninja.

Over time, the Clan shrank and lost its prestige. It no longer exists in Kirigakure.

Surprisingly, the Raikage A had the audacity to ask for a claim upon receiving the news that Amegakure had "stolen" one of their clans.

Kaguya made him understand that she had not stolen anything from them, and that due to her incompetence, one of Kirigakure's Clans had become extinct, and that she merely brought them back, only in Amegakure.

The Raikage A didn't take it well, but he couldn't do anything about it without endangering peace and the Ninja Alliance, so he agreed with her even if he didn't want to.

She was given a taste of her own medicine.

In the past, she did similar things against other villages. Like with Sunagakure and Konohagakure.

One of these cases was Pakura and that of Hizashi, Hyashi's younger twin brother, Neji's father and Hinata and Hanabi's uncle.

Lastly, the Chinoike Clan, presumed extinct at the hands of the Uchiha Clan, was brought back by Kaguya.

Kaguya brought its last living member, Chino, to Amegakure.

She was just a little girl when she found her, and because she was going to be kidnapped, it wasn't hard to bring her back to her village.

The Chinoike Clan possesses a Dōjutsu known as Ketsuryūgan, a Dōjutsu that people describe as red like blood.

The Ketsuryūgan grants the ability to control the iron contained in the user's blood as a component at will, as well as any other substance with a high concentration of iron. It also grants excellent skills in Genjutsu, although lesser compared to the Uchiha Clan, which was being led by Ai, in Amegakure.

As a curious fact, Denjiro led the Senju Clan.

Changing the subject, Konan agreed to improve her body with scientific ninja tools, not only increasing her physical power and chakra reserves, but also her life expectancy increased greatly, which solved one of my greatest fears.

Amegakure had become a paradise of peace and prosperity, and outsiders were not allowed. The same barrier that kept rain from falling on its streets analyzed and remembered the Chakra signature of all its inhabitants, detecting intruders the exact moment they entered.

As for Konohagakure, Rokudaime Hokage Kakashi Hatake resigned and gave his position to Naruto Uzumaki, who became the Nanadaime Hokage of Konohagakure.

...

In the ice dimension, inside Ōtsutsuki Castle.

Kaguya strolled through the castle halls in a relaxed manner. For several days, she had been walking around this place, waiting for the arrival of Momoshiki and Kinshiki, whom she had been watching with Senrigan.

Naming Urashiki would be an unnecessary waste of breath, so she snapped him out of her thoughts.

With her Senrigan activated and observing and analyzing the entire ice dimension every second, she finally sensed a life form other than her own. Unfortunately, it was a life form she recognized.

However, Momoshiki and Kinshiki were nearby.

"What are you doing in this place, duck hair?" I asked with my arms crossed, annoyed that he had invaded my territory without permission.

Sasuke frowned when he heard me call out to him. In these years, he had matured, though not enough for Kaguya to notice an obvious change.

Oh, did she forget to mention that she hates it? She sometimes thinks about what would have happened if she had crushed it that day, when she had it trapped in her hair.

"I didn't think I would end up in your dimension," he said, acknowledging the dimension as his property. "I'm on an important mission for Konoha," he explained before she could misunderstand him.

"I know. You're looking for information about the Ōtsutsuki Clan. And you've come at the right time, we have a guest." I said and smiled.

Far away from Ōtsutsuki Castle, a "powerful" Chakra signature appeared that she had never felt before, but could recognize thanks to the memories of the original Kaguya.

The Chakra signature suddenly disappeared, though Kaguya could feel it transporting towards them at high speed.

She watched in amusement as Sasuke was hit by Kinshiki and sent flying into the ice. It was fortunate that he was alert and covered himself at the last moment with his sword, otherwise he would have been turned into Uchiha mush.

Kinshiki is an expert in Ōdachinagi. One of the many techniques created and taught in the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

This technique allows Kinshiki to form, from his Chakra, all kinds of improvised tools and weapons to use in combat.

Kinshiki covered his body in electricity, increasing his speed, and followed closely behind Sasuke, determined to finish him off and go for Kaguya next.

Sasuke and Kinshiki faced off using only Kenjutsu and Bukijutsu respectively.

Bukijutsu (literally meaning "Weapon Techniques") are techniques that rely on the use of weapons in combat.

There are many types of Bukijutsu.

Bojutsu focuses on staff techniques. They are usually used in close-range combat.

Kenjutsu focuses on sword techniques. It is usually combined with Ninjutsu or Genjutsu.

Shurikenjutsu focuses on throwing techniques of Shuriken, Kunai or any other weapon that requires being thrown with the hands.

Kyūjutsu focuses on bow techniques, a style rarely seen in the Shinobi World.

Kusarigamajutsu focuses on Kusarigama techniques.

Kayakujutsu are techniques that involve the use of gunpowder or explosives. A common variant is the use of Explosive Seals. Konan specializes in Kayakujutsu in particular, as well as Shurikenjutsu.

Tessenjutsu is the martial art of the war fan, also known as the iron fan.

And lastly, Daimajutsu, are techniques that employ the use of scythes or sickles.

Kinshiki specializes in all types of weapons, mastering all their variants, making him lethal if you face him alone in close combat, just like Sasuke was doing.

What did I expect? To beat him? The guy has thousands of years of combat experience. He's also Momoshiki's guardian. Kinshiki raised him as his father figure, making him the monster he is.

The two continued to exchange powerful clashes with each other, destroying my beloved ice dimension.

Kinshiki formed an axe in his hand and, exerting all his strength, attacked Sasuke, who had no choice but to cover himself and receive it. Sasuke couldn't resist it and pierced through several mountains, even one of my castle walls.

"Okay, stop!" I shouted furiously. The landscape changed and I transported them to my volcanic dimension.

Although annoyed, I held Sasuke so he wouldn't fall into the lava and noticed Kinshiki standing several meters away from me, watching me warily.

"I'll take care of everything kid, go away, you'll just get in my way." I told Sasuke. He wanted to say something but I let go and he started to fall into the lava. He had no choice but to use his Space-Time Ninjutsu and return to Konohagakure to report the situation.

I didn't sense Momoshiki anywhere, so it seemed like she had sent Kinshiki to observe the situation before her arrival.

"Kinshiki," I greeted nonchalantly when we were alone.

"Traitor," she greeted in her own way. Apparently Urashiki had already informed her of my betrayal. Maybe I should have eliminated him first.

I smiled amused and showed her the palm of my right hand, where one eye was opened by Isshiki's Dōjutsu. This was one of the gains I gained from absorbing him.

Kinshiki saw this and clicked her tongue, knowing that Isshiki had fallen.

"I plan to absorb you," I made my intentions clear. "And next will be your brat, Momoshiki."

Defeating him wouldn't take more than a few seconds. Momoshiki was the real problem, though since he won't be able to absorb his guardian, Kinshiki, he won't become too powerful.

Upon closer inspection, Kinshiki has even paler skin than her own. Short, blue-gray hair and a beard that connects to his hair, as well as a horn-like protrusion above his left eye. He has large hands and possesses a similarly shaped build. His eyes are white, which is clearly attributed to his Byakugan in both eyes.

He is a grown man. He looks like an old man.

"Any last words?" I asked mockingly.

Kinshiki lunged at her, forming two axes in his hands. "ALL FOR MOMOSHIKI-SAMA!" he shouted, as a ball of Truth-Seeking, turned into a spear, pierced his head.

"What a waste of last words." I sighed. His body transformed into an artificial Chakra Fruit and I immediately consumed it, obtaining his technique, Ōdachinagi.

She had planned to finish him off using Isshiki's Dōjutsu, determined to spar a bit with someone minimally powerful, but that would only prolong the fight and give her a greater, albeit slim, chance of Momoshiki appearing at the last moment and absorbing him.

I certainly wasn't going to let this happen.
