"There are other enemies in the future, extremely powerful enemies, and Sasuke and Naruto have the potential to stand behind me and offer their support."
Yugao Uzuki did not know who those enemies were, nor did she know the true extent of Fei Shi's strength. She only knew that the current Fei Shi was far, far stronger than the Third Hokage. After all, she had seen the Third Hokage, whom she respected immensely, suffer a loss and throw a tantrum in front of Fei Shi, accusing him of bullying an old man with his strength.
Could those enemies possibly be...
"Are the enemies the Allied Shinobi Forces led by the other four great nations?"
These were the only enemies she could think of.
"That bunch of trash?"
Yugao Uzuki: "..."
Are the other four nations really that pathetic?
"Then... the entire Ninja World?"
Yugao Uzuki guessed again.
"Too small, your perspective is too narrow. You need to think bigger; don't keep your eyes fixed on this tiny patch of land that is the Ninja World."
"Then... then, who is it?"
Yugao could not guess.
"Hehe, want to guess? If you figure it out, I'll reward you."
Fei Shi smirked wickedly.
"Oh, you lecherous rascal. Just tell me, darling."
Seeing Yugao Uzuki throw herself into his arms, seeing her red lips and her coquettish expression... oh! baby!
And then he dove in.
Ten minutes later, a flushed Yugao Uzuki looked at Fei Shi and asked shyly:
"Can you tell me now?"
"Hmm, sure... but I'm going to want more later."
Yugao Uzuki: "Oh, are you going to tell me or not~"
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. It's the Otsutsuki Clan, they come from other planets."
"Other planets? Then... what kind of race are they?"
Yugao Uzuki asked, puzzled.
"Well, let's put it this way: every clan with a Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World today is a descendant of theirs. Even chakra appeared on this planet because of them."
"Did you gather this intelligence using your dojutsu?"
"Uh-huh~"
"What else? Such terrifying enemies—they must be the ancestors of all ninja, right?"
"Correct. As for the rest... you don't need to know. Just focus on your training; knowing too much will only become a burden. By the way... how is that friend of yours? Did he like the blade I gave him?"
"Ah, you mean Hayate? He said he loves it. Honestly, that thing is too incredible! Being able to summon it just by calling 'blade, come'—I want one too!"
Fei Shi sighed helplessly, stroked Yugao's purple hair, and said:
"He saved your life, and he's your good friend. What's wrong with me giving him a stronger weapon for self-defense as a token of gratitude? Your strength isn't quite there yet; once you're stronger, I'll give you something even better."
"Really?"
"More real than pure gold."
"Thank you, hus~band~"
"Hiss!"
Fei Shi couldn't take it anymore. Just as he was about to deal with this little temptress, Yugao Uzuki spoke up:
"You promised me. You promised to wait until I came of age."
Yugao Uzuki grabbed Fei Shi's hands and shook them, looking utterly pitiful.
Little demon!
Fei Shi wailed internally, then pulled a book from his system space and bolted into the room.
Yugao Uzuki stood there, dumbfounded, not knowing what her boyfriend was up to. Weren't they having a good time flirting? Why did he suddenly leave? Didn't he usually love being clingy with her?
Half an hour later.
Fei Shi's Asura Sage Body was numb.
Every time he thought of Yugao Uzuki's alluring face and figure, it made him—a man who had been a virgin in both his past and present lives—struggle to keep from committing a grave sin.
Because Yugao Uzuki had grown up in the Konoha Orphanage, she had moved in with him after they started dating. But he couldn't touch her; she was two years younger than him. When she was twelve, he had pursued her, hinting and showing his affection for a whole year.
With the secret help of Hayate Gekko, he had successfully won Yugao Uzuki over. Of course, Yugao Uzuki didn't know that the friend she had known since childhood had backstabbed her, selling her out to his own idol, Fei Shi.
After dating for a year, Fei Shi had forcibly brought her home and made her the mistress of this estate.
They had been living together for two years now, and Yugao Uzuki was sixteen. Fei Shi... had never actually tasted the meat; looking without being able to touch was agonizing.
As for why Hayate Gekko treated him like an idol, it was because of his combat record during the Nine-Tails Incident.
This was no secret within the Konoha ninja circle.
That was why Hayate Gekko idolized him, and while Fei Shi was pursuing Yugao Uzuki, Hayate had secretly tipped him off about her hobbies, where she went when bored, and where she trained.
After spending a year using methods he'd found on the internet in his past life, he finally won her over, though he warned himself that the internet was full of lies.
Because of that, he treated Hayate Gekko quite well.
He had once drawn a blade with a bit of sentience from a lottery; calling out to it would make it fly back to its master's hand, and besides enhancing attacks, its hardness could rival the Uchiha Gunbai and the Tools of the Sage of Six Paths.
When he had time, he would offer Hayate some pointers, and he even bought a bottle of Captain America Serum from the shop to inject into him, causing his strength to skyrocket.
As for whether this would attract unwanted attention, don't be ridiculous—even Danzo behaved himself when he saw Fei Shi now; who else would dare to step out of line?
"Big Brother Fei Shi~, what are you doing? You haven't come out for half an hour."
Fei Shi was startled; his eyes widened, and a wisp of black flame appeared to incinerate the paper balls on the floor.
Fei Shi opened the door as if nothing had happened, pulled Yugao Uzuki into his arms, and walked out into the courtyard to soak up the sun.
He clapped his hands together, and a Wood Clone appeared.
"Get it done."
"You got it."
Just as Fei Shi was planning to measure Yugao Uzuki's body again to collect data for her future wedding dress, Yugao spoke up.
"Um... Big Brother Fei Shi, let's bring Sasuke back. After all, he is your student. If you don't pay attention to him and he gives up on himself, what will happen? In his eyes, his enemy is Itachi Uchiha, after all."
"..."
"Fine, compared to his parents, the person most important to Sasuke, the one he loves the most, is his brother, Itachi Uchiha. But surely the shock of this incident... should be enough by now, right?"
He would go and see.
After all, things were no longer following the original path.
His very existence had long since caused the timeline to deviate from its original course.
It was only because his actions were more beneficial to the world's development than the original events that the World Consciousness hadn't taken action against him. The previous rejection was gone, but its gaze remained. As long as he didn't go on a rampage or use his full power, the World Consciousness wouldn't watch him every second.
With the path deviated, would Sasuke, who was supposed to pull through, actually pull through like he did originally? Or would an accident occur, leading him to give up and fall into darkness?
He didn't know, so he could only follow Yugao's suggestion.
He changed into casual clothes, helped Yugao into a pair of jeans, and the two of them headed toward the Konoha Hospital.
The young people walking on the streets cast envious glances their way, and Fei Shi held his head so high his nostrils were practically pointing at the sky.
When they reached the Konoha Hospital and found the room number after asking around, they stopped in their tracks as a child's voice drifted out from inside.
