The Ninja World.
A summer beach.
Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha sat side by side, their heads close together, staring unblinkingly at the book in their hands.
"Kakashi, what do you think of my writing?" Obito asked.
Kakashi, who had taken off his mask years ago, wiped a nosebleed and nodded vigorously. "Obito, the erotic... I mean, the novel you wrote has such a great feel to it. It's not inferior to Jiraiya's Make-Out Paradise at all."
"Trust me, you're definitely going to become a world-famous novelist."
Hearing Kakashi's praise, Obito beamed with joy.
"Hahahahaha! I told you I was talented," he exclaimed excitedly. "Kakashi, when my novel gets published, I'll definitely give you a signed collector's edition."
"Thanks a lot," Kakashi smiled.
"By the way," Obito suddenly asked, "don't just tell me the good parts. Give me some feedback. I can only improve if I know what to fix."
Hearing this, Kakashi pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "Obito, the immersion in this book is incredibly strong. My body couldn't stop trembling while reading it. It's just pure satisfaction from start to finish!"
"If I had to point out one flaw, I can only think of one thing..."
"What is it?" Obito asked curiously.
"The protagonist in your novel has too many shades of Lord Yuzuru."
"And you actually wrote it a bit conservatively. Otherwise, a lot of the events are just straight copies of what happened to Lord Yuzuru."
Hearing Kakashi's critique, Obito couldn't help but sigh.
"I can't help it. Big Brother Yuzuru's experiences are so exaggerated that even when I write them in the tone of a novel, they feel a bit too unbelievable."
Kakashi nodded in agreement. "Obito, aside from the people close to Lord Yuzuru, no one else should be able to tell. Just write boldly with peace of mind. Lord Yuzuru wouldn't mind something like this."
Obito put the novel away, lay flat on his back on the sand, and spoke softly. "Kakashi, the greatest luck in my life was meeting Big Brother Yuzuru."
"His guidance turned me from a dead last into a genius in everyone's eyes."
"Everything in my life has gone so smoothly."
"I wanted to become a genius and get everyone's acknowledgment, and I did."
"I wanted to become Hokage to protect everyone, and I did that too."
"I even made friends like you and Guy..."
"Sometimes I wonder, what would my life have been like if I hadn't met Big Brother Yuzuru?"
Seeing Obito suddenly get sentimental, Kakashi smiled. "Obito, why think about all that nonsense? You just need to enjoy the present."
"My father was saved by Lord Yuzuru. I used to be arrogant and conceited, but now I have best friends I can entrust my life to."
"With such perfect lives, we shouldn't go looking for trouble."
"I think... since Lord Yuzuru helped us so much, he probably feels the same way."
After Kakashi finished speaking, he and Obito exchanged a smile.
The sunlight on the summer beach was truly radiant.
"Keep it up! Work hard and sweat it out on the beach, this is youth!"
Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, his row of white teeth sparkling in the sunlight.
Wearing a green jumpsuit, Rock Lee instantly looked as if he were bursting with energy. He leaped high into the air and delivered a killer spike.
Bam!
With the sound of the volleyball hitting the sand, the beach volleyball match ended in a victory for the Hot-Blooded Youth Team.
"Beautifully done, Lee!"
"It's all thanks to Guy-sensei's encouragement and special training! I was just executing your tactics unconditionally!"
"Hahahahaha! Lee, your words move me to tears!"
"Guy-sensei!"
"Lee!"
Might Guy and Rock Lee embraced tightly, tears welling up in their eyes.
Feeling the stares of the crowd, Metal Lee, standing off to the side, became somewhat at a loss.
Seeing this, Might Duy patted Metal heavily on the shoulder and said deeply, "Metal, a man's youth does not allow for bashfulness."
"Go! Deliver our youth training suits to our opponents and make them keep their promise to wear them!"
Metal took a deep breath. "I understand, Grandpa Duy!"
With a shout, he charged forward.
On the other side, Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi screamed and ran away.
Shino Aburame stood in place, muttering to himself, "Ignored again, as expected..."
Might Duy withdrew his gaze and turned to Neji Hyuga. "Neji, even though you're on our team, do you want to try wearing one too? I prepared your size!"
Neji hurriedly waved his hands in refusal. "Grandpa Duy, I'll pass."
"I just remembered there are some clan matters I need to handle. I'll be going now."
Watching Neji's frantic escape, Might Duy shook his head helplessly.
Might Guy walked over at some point and smiled. "Father, Neji is even comfortable showing the Caged Bird seal on his forehead now, yet he still refuses to wear our clothes. Don't force him anymore."
Hearing this, Might Duy sighed. "That child is truly lucky."
"If he hadn't met Yuzuru, he might still be a bird trapped in a cage."
Might Guy's eyes flickered as he spoke in a low voice. "Yes, if Lord Yuzuru hadn't saved us, the two of us might have died at the hands of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist long ago."
The two fell silent for a moment before Might Duy suddenly burst into laughter. "There aren't that many 'ifs' in this world. We just need to cherish the present!"
"Not just us, hasn't the entire ninja world become perfect because of Yuzuru?"
"Everyone, put on your life jackets properly and remember not to run too far."
Wearing round glasses, Kabuto Yakushi carefully checked the equipment on the children while giving instructions.
Even though the children were incredibly noisy, there wasn't a hint of impatience on Kabuto's face.
Beside him, Nonou Yakushi watched quietly with an equally gentle expression.
After Kabuto finished his task, Nonou finally spoke. "Kabuto, taking care of these children must be exhausting."
Kabuto immediately shook his head. "Director Nonou, you know I've been an orphan since I was little."
"The thing I want to do most is help others and realize my own value."
"I'm truly happy to be able to take over as the orphanage director from you."
Nonou smiled gently. "Kabuto, it's wonderful that you think that way."
"Every time I see you, I feel so relieved."
"That little brat who used to follow me around the orphanage has grown into an adult who can stand on his own."
Hearing Nonou's words, a sincere smile appeared on Kabuto's face.
"Director Nonou, thank you."
"If it weren't for you, no one in the orphanage under Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura's rule would have survived until now."
Nonou paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile. "Kabuto, when we get back, I'll buy you a new pair of glasses that fit perfectly."
"Okay."
On another side of the beach, Nagato seemed to have made up his mind and clapped his hands together forcefully.
"Rinne Rebirth Jutsu!"
A majestic surge of life force erupted, engulfing the corpse beside him.
Soon after, a glimmer of light returned to the corpse's hollow eyes.
"Where is this...?"
"Nagato?"
Yahiko gradually regained his senses and grabbed Nagato's shoulder in pleasant surprise.
"Nagato, didn't I die?"
Nagato froze for a second, then smiled. "Yahiko, I resurrected you."
"Eh?"
Yahiko stared blankly, then asked in shock, "Resurrected?"
"Nagato, what exactly is going on?"
"Sit down first."
Nagato pressed Yahiko's shoulder, making him sit beside him, before explaining, "A lot of things happened in the ninja world after you died."
"It's finally over now, so I wanted you to see this brand-new world with your own eyes."
"A brand-new..."
"World?!"
Yahiko muttered, then asked excitedly, "Nagato, does that mean... our dream came true?"
Nagato smiled and nodded. "You could say that."
"Although it's a bit different from the ideal world you envisioned back then, this is the best possible outcome reality could achieve."
"A world without war, where everyone lives in peace and contentment, has truly been realized."
Hearing Nagato's high praise, Yahiko cheered, "That's amazing! That's truly amazing!"
"Nagato, I knew you would succeed! No wonder Jiraiya-sensei said you were the Child of Prophecy!"
But Nagato shook his head. "With my abilities, I could never achieve something like this."
"The one who realized our dream was Konan's husband."
"Huh?!"
Seeing Yahiko's bewildered expression, Nagato continued, "You should know him too."
"Who?"
"Uchiha Yuzuru."
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's name, Yahiko couldn't help but clench his fists. "So it was him. The first time I saw him, I felt he wasn't a good guy."
"Being that handsome, he's obviously a master at deceiving girls."
Nagato laughed. "Yahiko, stop being sour. Once I tell you everything about Yuzuru, I'm afraid even you might fall in love with him."
Yahiko's eyes widened, looking at Nagato as if seeing him for the first time.
"Nagato, what exactly did you go through after I died?"
Nagato shook his head and spoke softly. "I'll tell you everything."
"Yahiko, you don't know this, but after you died, I was truly lonely."
Hearing this, Yahiko took a deep breath and patted Nagato heavily on the shoulder.
"Nagato, I'm back. From now on, whatever happens, I'll stand in front of you and block it!"
Seeing that familiar smile, Nagato smiled too.
"Good brother. We can fight side by side again."
"Trust me, you're definitely going to love this new world!"
"I never expected you to have such leisurely moments, Orochimaru."
Jiraiya and Orochimaru sat side by side, quietly watching the ocean.
Orochimaru smiled faintly. "People change, and I'm no exception."
"I've already witnessed the ultimate power of this universe, so I can afford to slack off a bit from now on."
Jiraiya gave Orochimaru a surprised look, then said somewhat gloomily, "I don't know why, but hearing you say that makes me feel a bit annoyed."
Orochimaru replied calmly, "It's human nature. The weak always envy the strong."
"What?!" Jiraiya instantly flared up. "Orochimaru, stop learning from that brat Yuzuru."
Orochimaru didn't answer, merely asking, "Jiraiya, what do you plan to do next?"
Jiraiya thought for a moment before speaking slowly. "I'm going to join the Universe Suppression Plan."
"I've pretty much traveled all over the ninja world. It's time I went to space to gather material."
Orochimaru nodded. "Remember to tell me before you leave. We'll have a drink together."
"Hahahahaha! Orochimaru, you really have changed."
"Alright then. It just so happens that the Ninja World arc of my Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi is coming to an end. I hope you can give me some inspiration."
"Speaking of which, I'll invite that brat Yuzuru too."
"After all, he takes up a huge portion of the Ninja World arc!"
"Madara, since we're already here, don't be such a spoilsport."
"I've prepared some stones. How about a skipping contest?"
Seeing Hashirama Senju's excited face, Madara Uchiha shot him a look of disdain.
"Boring."
"Hashirama, you're a hundred-year-old man now. Stop being as childish as a kid who hasn't grown up."
Hashirama retorted, "Who says? My body is in its prime!"
Madara snorted coldly. "I'm not interested anyway. Play by yourself."
Hearing this, Hashirama immediately became depressed, squatting on the sand with dark lines over his head, drawing circles.
Seeing this, Madara sighed helplessly and finally stood up.
"Hashirama, I'll play with you."
"Really?"
"Are you playing or not?"
"I'm playing, I'm playing!" Hashirama nodded repeatedly, grabbing Madara and running toward the deeper waters.
No longer fighting for their respective factions, Hashirama and Madara finally found the feeling of their childhood days together.
"Hashirama!"
"Madara!"
"..."
The Third Raikage, Onoki, A, Sakumo Hatake, Fugaku Uchiha, Hiashi Hyuga, and Minato Namikaze sat in a circle, surrounded by their wives and daughters.
As rulers of their regions or heads of their clans, it was rare for them to have such free and relaxing time.
Onoki spoke up, "Thanks to Yuzuru, this old man is finally enjoying the joys of family life for the first time."
The Third Raikage laughed heartily. "Indeed. Without Yuzuru, we might still be mortal enemies."
"And without Yuzuru setting an example, I probably wouldn't have lived to see this bastard A get married and have kids."
A complained, "Old man, why are you picking on me again!"
The Third Raikage glared at A. "It's perfectly natural for a father to scold his son."
"If you don't like it, fight me!"
A curled his lip and stayed silent.
Sakumo Hatake sighed. "Third Raikage, my boy Kakashi is even worse than A. Forget about marriage, he hasn't even had a girlfriend yet."
"Sigh... I'm going to die of worry because of him."
The Third Raikage laughed. "That's easy. Just go find Yuzuru."
"As long as Yuzuru is willing to step in, even if Kakashi likes men, he can definitely fix it."
The Third Raikage's casual joke made Sakumo fall completely silent.
Because he suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.
Could Kakashi...
Could he actually like men?!
Nearby, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but add, "Speaking of which, Kakashi seems very close to Obito. The two of them are stuck together every day."
"Fugaku, what do you think?"
Fugaku Uchiha's square face bore a solemn expression as he spoke in a deep voice. "I will speak to Yuzuru about this."
"The Uchiha clan's top priority is having children; homosexuality is absolutely forbidden!"
Thanks to Uchiha Yuzuru's efforts, the Uchiha clan was thriving.
From being suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura to replacing the Otsutsuki clan as the universe's new divine clan.
No matter what, he had to shoulder the responsibility of being the Reproduction Guidance Officer!
As long as they were members of the Uchiha clan, they had to be just like him—surrounded by children and grandchildren!
On a spacious, empty stretch of beach.
Inside a barrier.
Uchiha Yuzuru wore sunglasses, lounging leisurely on a beach chair.
After Otsutsuki Shibai's death, he had no more worries, and with his wives urging him on...
He had fathered many children recently. Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto, and Gaara had all taken on the roles of full-time nannies, so much so that they didn't even have time to attend this beach party.
Even though those guys all had a soft spot for their younger siblings, they were completely exhausted by the energetic little ones.
Every time he saw their tired, resentful eyes, Yuzuru felt a bit guilty.
So he simply chose not to look.
Watching kids was nowhere near as comfortable as vacationing on the beach with his wives.
In front of him, Kushina Uzumaki, Kurenai Yuhi, Mikoto Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Hanabi Hyuga, Hinata Hyuga, Tenten, Pakura, Mei Terumi, Ajisai, Konan, Tsunade, Rin Nohara, Sara, Hotaru, Shizuka Nadeshiko, Kurotsuchi, Koyuki Kazahana, Samui, Hanare, Yugao Uzuki, Uchiha Hikari, Otsutsuki Kaguya, Izumi Uchiha, Guren, Yakumo Kurama, Anko Mitarashi, Shion, Yugito, Shizune...
A crowd of women in swimsuits played on the sand and by the sea.
The scene was incredibly lively.
Ever since killing Otsutsuki Shibai and wiping out all the Otsutsuki clan members, Uchiha Yuzuru had finally become the ruler of this universe.
Since his transmigration, this was the first time he felt so relaxed.
"Yuzuru, come play with us!"
Uchiha Hikari held a water gun and shot Yuzuru a few times.
Seeing this, the other women joined in the fun and followed suit.
Yuzuru smiled helplessly, then clapped his hands together.
"Water Style: Water Fight Jutsu!"
Dozens of water guns appeared out of thin air, unleashing an indiscriminate barrage on the women like machine guns.
"Ah!"
Hikari and the others cried out in surprise and scattered in all directions.
But those water guns seemed to have a mind of their own, chasing relentlessly after them.
Before long, Hikari and the others were in a sorry state, begging for mercy.
"Hahahahaha!"
"You think you have the skills to challenge me in a shootout?"
"I have enough ammo to soak every single one of you."
"Hurry up and give me a foot massage, or you'll be in for it."
Hearing Yuzuru's words, Hikari, Ino, Sakura, and the others immediately complied.
Massaging his shoulders, pounding his legs, rubbing his feet, feeding him fruit, fanning him...
Yuzuru basked in it, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Eternal life, unmatched power.
Every wish granted, surrounded by beautiful women.
Uchiha Yuzuru stretched lazily, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
"So comfortable."
"This is the life a transmigrator should enjoy!"
