Old Friends Return

In the universe.

The divine Shinki, which was flying at faster-than-light speed, muttered, "In the end, we still have to fly back. Fortunately, the current flight speed is fast enough, and it will only take a few hours to get there... Once we get back, we must develop Shinjutsu that can enable ultra-long-distance travel."

Just as he finished speaking, Shinki saw the strangely shaped white iron box in front of him!

"This is outrageous! Spacecraft?! ◝₍ᴑ̑ДO͝₎◞"

"Did I fly to the wrong place?! (≖╻≖;) "

Suddenly, Ino's voice echoed in his mind, "We're here."

The Hokage's office building.

In a huge conference room.

All those who eagerly await the return of the Shinki are waiting here.

Soon, Shinki pushed open the door and greeted each of his old acquaintances present:

"Tsunade- sensei, where 'Master Jiraiya...? What? He's off traveling the world again? How old is he? He's still running around Tenten! ╮(￣⊿￣)╭"

"Kakashi-sensei, how come you haven't aged? And Guy-sensei, how come you two are getting younger and younger? In a few years, you might have to go back to the Ninja Academy to repeat your studies! ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)"

"Neji, you've got a mature man's charm now... and Tenten, the older you get, the more attractive you become. ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )"

"Rock Lee, I heard you got married. Don't let the kids practice the Eight Gates anymore; that stuff is bad for their health. I've developed a new Taijutsu for you two..."

"Kiba, and Akamaru too. Oh, Akamaru's gotten so old, should I help you prolong your life...?"

"Shino, why are you still wearing something? I should improve your Aburame Clan's insect-raising techniques sometime. I haven't seen your eyes in all these years... Don't be sad, I didn't mean to put the dog before you. Besides, Akamaru isn't an ordinary dog... ("▔□▔)"

"Choji, how come you've gotten so handsome even though you've aged? What? You Butterfly Mode just to see me? I've seen you look all the time!"

"Hinata, you've become even more beautiful since you married Naruto. It seems Naruto is a very good husband."

"Hey, Shikamaru's grown a beard too, and he even has a few gray hairs. Looks like he's been worrying a lot for Naruto all these years..."

Shikamaru chuckled, "Yes, we're all getting old, only you, Shinki, are still young."

Shinki grinned. "Of course! Back in school, I was definitely the most handsome guy. ❛‿˂̵✧"

With tears in her Tsunade smiled and said, "You brat, stop joking and get on the seat."

There were many people in the Office, many of whom were more senior and held higher positions than Shinki, but no one felt anything was amiss with Shinki sitting in the head seat!

Before anyone could ask, Shinki spoke first, asking, "What exactly happened all these years? How did Konoha become like this?"

Naruto: "Let me explain..."

Upon learning of the dramatic changes that had taken place over the past thirteen years, Shinki looked at Naruto in shock. "So, you overthrew the Daimyo regime?? Naruto, you're amazing!! (´◊ω◊`)"

Even though Naruto is now in his thirties, and Shinki looks only seventeen or eighteen, upon hearing Shinki's question, Naruto blushed and scratched his head, just like he did more than ten years ago, saying, "The people of the Land of Fire under the Daimyo's rule are not happy. I changed this country in the way I thought was right... and now it seems the results are not bad."

Shinki silently gave Naruto a thumbs up. "You're not bad, kid!"

"I was able to govern Konoha, and even now, the vast Land of Fire, all because of the foundation you laid back then, Shinki." Naruto said earnestly.

"It's no exaggeration to say that the Shinobi World's current prosperity is entirely thanks to you, Shinki."

"By the way, what exactly did you do in Takamagahara all these years? Why did you stay there for thirteen years? And Shinki, you give off a different vibe now, like you've changed bodies..."

Shinki briefly recounted his experience traveling to Takamagahara.

Of course, the epic battle with the Shibai was omitted, as it would be too complicated to explain.

Tsunade: "You absorbed the power of all the Ōtsutsuki? How strong must you be now! (=°Д°=)"

"Hmm... to put it simply, it means omnipotent," Shinki said after thinking for a moment.

Naruto: "Then why did you fly back, instead of just teleporting back in a flash?"

"I only recently gained this power, and this body was reshaped by me using the God Tree Fruit, so its potential power still needs to be developed," the Shinki patiently explained.

Just as everyone was chatting, the door to the Hokage's Office was pushed open, and a group of children rushed in...

Shinki glanced around and immediately recognized the children. "That blond guy is Naruto's son, right? He looks a lot like you when you were little, but he seems smarter than you."

"That guy with the braid, isn't that Shikamaru, your son? The young man looks smart. And that chubby girl, she's obviously from Choji's family..."

Boruto and his group, who had just burst into the conference room, were stunned when they saw Shinki.

I'm way more handsome than Kage Rock! I give off a really strong vibe!!

After being called "Little Fatty" by Shinki, Akimichi Chōchō was so excited that she fainted!

Shinki stepped forward speechlessly to treat him. "Kids these days don't have much psychological resilience..."

As they were talking, Shinki looked up and saw a strange girl wearing glasses.

"Wait, whose daughter is this girl with glasses?"

Naruto: "Sasuke and Sakura's daughter."

Shinki was shocked. "The Uchiha Clan actually has a nearsighted person? No way! Little girl, come here, let me fix your eyesight!"

A few seconds later, Sarada Uchiha took off her glasses and found that the world before her was crystal clear!

After finishing all this, Shinki asked, "By the way, where are the Sasuke and his wife? I haven't seen them."

"The hospital just sent in a critically ill patient who drank pesticide, and Sakura really can't leave."

"As for Sasuke... the news of your return has already been sent out, and he's probably on his way back... He hasn't been home for years because he's been looking for you."

"Let's not talk about him for now... Shinki, it's time to put your marriage on the agenda." Naruto suddenly changed the subject.

Shinki took half a step back. "I just got back, why are you in such a hurry?! ∑(°Д°ノ)ノ"

Hinata spoke first, "Hanabi, Ino, Yugito Nii, that Miko maiden, even the Daimyo of the Land of Birds, the Tsuchikage... they are still waiting for you."

Naruto added, "And Ada, if it weren't for waiting for you, she wouldn't have stayed in Konoha..."

"Gulp~" Shinki swallowed hard. He had thought that after he asked Ino to say those words before he left, they would give up.

I never expected this...

"Then I'll marry them all?" Shinki asked tentatively.

Tsunade: "It's alright. It's not that you're invincible right now. After we get married, you can create Shadow Clones and be with each of them."

The meeting adjourned two hours later.

Everyone chose an auspicious day for the Shinki and made all the necessary arrangements.
