"There are other enemies in the future, incredibly powerful ones. Sasuke and Naruto have the potential to stand behind me and help."
Yugao Uzuki didn't know who those enemies were, or how strong Fei Shi really was. She only knew that he was far, far stronger than the Third Hokage now. She'd seen the Third Hokage, whom she respected immensely, take a hit from Fei Shi and throw a tantrum, claiming he was bullying an old man with his strength.
Could those enemies possibly be...
"Are the enemies the other four great nations leading the Ninja Allied Forces?"
Those were the only enemies she could think of.
"That bunch of trash?"
Yugao Uzuki: "..."
Were the other four nations really that pathetic?
"Then... the whole Ninja World?"
Yugao guessed again.
"Think bigger. You're thinking too small. Don't keep your gaze fixed on this tiny patch of land called the Ninja World."
"Th-then, who is it?"
Yugao couldn't guess.
"Hehe, take a guess. If you get it right, I'll give you a reward."
Fei Shi grinned mischievously.
"Aw, you naughty pervert. Just tell me, please, darling."
Seeing Yugao Uzuki fall into his arms, seeing her red lips and coquettish expression... Oh, baby!
Then he leaned down and kissed her.
Ten minutes later, Yugao Uzuki, her cheeks flushed, looked at Fei Shi and asked shyly,
"Can you tell me now?"
"Sure... I'll ask you for another one later."
Yugao Uzuki: "Oh, come on. Are you going to tell me or not~?"
"All right, all right, I'll tell you. It's the Otsutsuki Clan. They come from other planets."
"Other planets? Then... what kind of people are they?"
Yugao asked, still puzzled.
"Well, let me put it this way. Every Kekkei Genkai clan in the Ninja World today is descended from them. Even chakra appeared on this planet because of them."
"Did you learn that from the intelligence you gathered with your dojutsu?"
"Mhm~"
"What else? They're such terrifying enemies. Wouldn't they be the ancestors of all ninjas?"
"Right. As for the rest... you don't need to know. Just focus on your training. Knowing too much will become a burden. By the way... how's that friend of yours? Does he like the sword I gave him?"
"Oh, you mean Hayate? He said he really likes it. But that thing of yours is amazing! You call out, 'Sword, come!' and it flies right over by itself. I want one too!"
Fei Shi sighed and stroked Yugao's purple hair.
"He saved your life, and he's your good friend. What's wrong with giving him a stronger weapon to protect himself? You're not strong enough yet. Once you are, I'll give you an even stronger one."
"Really?"
"Truer than gold."
"Thank you, huuu~sbaaaand~"
"Yikes!"
Fei Shi couldn't take it anymore and was about to tame the little temptress when Yugao Uzuki spoke up.
"You promised me. You promised to wait until I was an adult."
Yugao Uzuki grabbed Fei Shi's hands with both of hers and shook them, looking pitiful.
You little enchantress!
Fei Shi groaned inwardly, pulled a book from the System Space, and hurried into the house.
Yugao Uzuki stared in confusion, not knowing what her boyfriend was up to. They'd been flirting just fine—why had he suddenly left? Wasn't he usually the one who liked to cling to her like this?
Half an hour later.
Fei Shi's Asura Sage Body had gone numb.
Whenever he thought of Yugao Uzuki's alluring looks and figure, he couldn't help committing a great sin, despite having been an old virgin in both his previous and current lives.
Since Yugao Uzuki had grown up in the Konoha Orphanage, she'd moved in with him after they started dating. But he couldn't touch her, and she was two years younger than him. He'd pursued her when she was twelve, spending a year making his feelings clear, both directly and indirectly.
With Gekko Hayate's secret help, he'd successfully won Yugao Uzuki over. Of course, Yugao Uzuki didn't know that the friend she'd known since childhood had stabbed her in the back by selling her out to her idol, Fei Shi.
After dating Fei Shi for a year, he'd practically dragged her back to his home and made her the lady of the manor.
They'd been living together for two years now, and Yugao Uzuki was sixteen. Fei Shi... hadn't gotten to enjoy the real thing at all. He could look but not touch. It was torture.
As for why Gekko Hayate saw him as an idol, it was because of his record during the Nine-Tails Incident.
That was no secret among Konoha's ninja circles.
So Gekko Hayate had made him his idol. When Fei Shi was pursuing Yugao Uzuki, Hayate had secretly told him what she liked, where she went when she was bored, and where she trained.
After spending a year following methods he'd found online in his previous life, he'd finally won her over—and learned that everything on the internet was a lie.
So he treated Gekko Hayate pretty well, too.
One time, he'd drawn a somewhat sentient sword in a lottery. Calling it made it fly back into its owner's hand, and it strengthened his attacks. Its toughness could even stand up to the Uchiha Gunbai and the Tools of the Sage of Six Paths.
Whenever he had time, he'd give Hayate some pointers. He'd also bought a vial of Captain America Serum from the shop and injected him with it, making his strength improve by leaps and bounds.
As for whether that would attract other people's attention—come on. Danzo behaved himself as soon as he saw Fei Shi. Who else would dare make a scene?
"Big Brother Fei Shi~, what are you doing? You've been in there for half an hour."
Fei Shi jumped. His eyes widened, and a wisp of black flame appeared, burning the paper ball on the ground.
Fei Shi opened the door as if nothing had happened, pulled Yugao Uzuki into his arms, and walked with her into the courtyard to bask in the sun.
He clapped his hands, and a Wood Clone appeared.
"Get it done."
"Sure thing."
Just as Fei Shi was about to measure Yugao Uzuki's body again, gathering data to make a wedding dress for her someday, Yugao Uzuki spoke.
"Um... Big Brother Fei Shi, let's bring Sasuke back. He's your student, after all. What if he gives up because you don't show him enough care? The person he sees as his enemy is Itachi Uchiha, after all."
"..."
"All right. Compared with his parents, the most important person to Sasuke—the person he loves most—is his older brother, Itachi Uchiha. But this blow... it should be enough, right?"
Let's go see him.
Things were no longer unfolding the way they used to.
His presence had long since sent the original timeline off course.
The World Consciousness hadn't acted against Fei Shi because his actions benefited the world's development compared with what would have happened originally. It had also stopped rejecting him, though it was still watching him. As long as he didn't recklessly unleash his full power, the World Consciousness wouldn't keep an eye on him constantly.
With things going off course, would Sasuke endure this the way he had originally—or would something go wrong, causing him to give up and fall into ruin?
He didn't know, so he could only take Yugao's advice.
He changed into casual clothes and got Yugao into a pair of jeans. Then the two of them headed to Konoha Hospital.
The young people walking along the street cast envious looks their way. Fei Shi held his head high, his nose practically in the air.
When they reached Konoha Hospital, asked where Sasuke's room was, and arrived outside it, a child's voice from inside made them stop in their tracks.
