Late at night.
The Shadow Mansion, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down. Ryun was originally holding the sleeping little Junlin in his arms, staying in the training room studying the human meridian charts. However, a sudden sound of crying shook his spirit.
This wasn't the crying of the son in his arms, but the sound of his daughter weeping.
Ryun's figure vanished in the blink of an eye. The next moment, he abruptly appeared by his daughter's side. This move genuinely startled Asuka, who had also woken up.
Sensing her father's arrival, Nanaise directly threw herself into Ryun's arms, crying even louder for a moment.
"Nanaise, what's wrong?" Ryun asked, frowning, holding the infant with one hand and stroking his daughter's head with the other.
His Nanaise rarely wailed like this except when being severely scolded by her mother, especially since she was sensible now. Ryun was very curious why she suddenly started crying.
"Dad... wuwu... I had a dream, wuwuwu." Nanaise cried so hard she couldn't speak clearly.
"Silly child, I thought something serious happened. It's just a nightmare, isn't it? Why cry like this?" Asuka couldn't help but chide. She thought something had happened.
Grandmother and granddaughter were sleeping together peacefully. Nanaise was suddenly startled awake, then started wailing without any warning. She was almost scared to death.
"Good, don't be afraid. Daddy is here. You can tell Daddy anything." Ryun actively handed the startled and crying little Junlin to Asuka for the time being, then gently comforted his frightened daughter.
This matter wasn't right. A nightmare shouldn't have scared his daughter like this.
"What happened? Why is Nanaise crying like this?" Kushina was also alerted for a moment. She came to Nanaise's side sleepily, but her daughter clung tightly to Ryun's waist, unwilling to let go.
"Dad... I... I dreamed everyone died. The whole world was crushed. It was a giant hand... wuwu... You died too."
Hearing these words, Ryun couldn't help but show a surprised expression. However, thinking this was just a nightmare his daughter had, he couldn't help but smile and comfort her.
"Silly child, your daddy is invincible in the world. How could he be killed by a slap? You know this is just a dream."
"No, Daddy, this isn't a dream... wuwu... This is the future."
Nanaise cried even more intensely for a moment, the kind that couldn't be stopped no matter how comforted.
"Dad... The White Snake Sage taught me a sage art to glimpse fate. It said I would occasionally see fragments of fate in the future, and I wouldn't dream easily. But once I do dream, it means this dream will become reality."
"Wuwu... Dad... I saw you die. Even you couldn't resist that hand... wuwu... Everyone died."
As soon as Nanaise said this, Ryun's pupils constricted sharply into needle points.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing this, Kushina and Asuka were both startled, and then Kushina actually became angry.
"Kushina." Ryun actively called her name, then gently shook his head, signaling her not to be angry.
"Good, Daddy is here. Nanaise, don't be afraid." Ryun gently patted Nanaise's back, doing his utmost to soothe her emotions.
Seeing that his daughter couldn't be comforted, and Asuka and Kushina were pale, looking frightened, Ryun couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"Mom, give me the child."
Ryun suddenly actively took little Junlin. Asuka and Kushina both didn't quite understand what he wanted to do.
But the next moment, the two women suddenly met a pair of widely opened Nine Tomoe Rinnegan.
The moment the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan appeared, both women fainted simultaneously.
Two chakra hands extended from Ryun's back, steadily catching the two women about to fall. Then he directly activated the ability of the Human Path, carefully erasing their memories of tonight.
After doing this, Ryun used the chakra hands to place the two women on the bed. Then he lowered his head, gently comforting his frightened daughter again.
"Good child, this is just a nightmare, not some future. You won't die. Daddy won't die. No one will die. There is no such hand. Even if there is, I will cut it down with a single sword strike."
As Ryun spoke, the aura on his body was rising frantically in a way Nanaise couldn't understand. His power seemed to have no limit. The terrifying power contained within his body was also clearly sensed by his daughter at this moment.
This was a power beyond Nanaise's understanding. Before this power, Nanaise felt like just a tiny flame, while her father had turned into a golden sun so large it was unimaginable.
A golden sage robe with tomoe patterns appeared on Ryun's body. The brilliant golden robe, paired with his silver white long hair, made him look extremely sacred.
As a sage, Nanaise could clearly sense the ultimate, world destroying power hidden within her father's body. This aura shocked her so much she forgot to cry.
Ryun held Nanaise's face, speaking with an extremely serious and firm tone.
"Daddy can tell you clearly, so called fate can be changed."
"For the sake of your mental and physical health, I will erase this memory tonight. But you must believe, Daddy will always protect you all."
"I believe. Daddy, don't erase my memory." Nanaise screamed, trying to resist, but she had already stared at those Nine Tomoe Rinnegan for too long.
The next moment, as Nanaise fainted in Ryun's arms, the Human Path ability activated. Finally, only the sound of an infant crying remained in the room.
"Even you don't believe in Daddy?"
Looking at the child crying incessantly in the swaddling clothes, Ryun felt a rare bit of irritation in his heart.
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset. After wiping Nanaise's tears, Ryun moved the grandmother and granddaughter back to the bed, then covered them with the quilt.
After doing this, Ryun single handedly encircled Kushina's waist, lifted her, then directly threw her onto the bed in the master bedroom, and pulled the quilt over her stomach.
After dealing with the three women, the infant in Ryun's arms seemed to have cried itself to exhaustion and fell asleep deeply. The entire Shadow Mansion finally quieted down again.
At this time, Ryun had no heart to study anything else. He held the child and sat by the window, gazing blankly at the star filled sky outside.
After a long time, he suddenly laughed.
"Fate that kills me with a single palm, hehe."
Others might believe in fate, but Ryun was disdainful of it.
The ninja world originally had its own fate, but his arrival had severely altered this world's predetermined destiny. Ryun used practical actions to prove what is meant by the unpredictability of fate. In his eyes, nothing is predetermined by heaven, and no existence can dictate his fate.
