~Soutarou POV~
Slowly opening his eyes, Soutarou found himself in a completely unknown room. He groaned in discomfort as it felt like his whole being had been sent through a black hole and then shot out a white hole (stretched like spaghetti and then squeezed back to normal size). His eyes slowly shifted and darted across the expansive and opulent, at least by shinobi standards, room. The pictures of Hashirama and the Senju clan, the symbols of the Uzumaki, weapons of unknown origin that seemed to hum with power hung on the walls with a large portrait of Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama Senju seated together with banners of their respective clans portrayed behind them.
'Mito Uzumaki? Don't tell me… I'm in her room? But why?'
[Hey you. You're finally awake.]
'Bastard! You put me to sleep!'
[Incorrect the user should only have been unconscious for 2 hours… By current calculations the user has been unconscious for at least 36 hours. Please stop being a weak host. It is strongly advised that the host gets good.]

'!!! What the hell? My chakra jumped through the roof… now my mental energy is lower than my physique? Well I guess it makes sense considering my new bloodline… but seriously Kaguya's portion of the Sage Body has wood release? Does that mean Hashirama actually experienced bloodline atavism? On top of being an Ashura incarnation, that guy went through bloodline atavism beyond the guy he was an incarnation of… talk about ridiculous… no wonder Madara struggled against him… Wait, that makes sense, wood release can absorb chakra because it's a part of the God Tree! Muhahahaha my golden era is about to start!'
[While the host was unconscious several notifications arrived.]
'Show me what notifications showed up.'
[Naori Uchiha's favorability level is at 'Intense Love,' danger rating: 7.5/10]
[Mikoto Uchiha's favorability level is at 'Insane for you,' danger rating: 9/10]
[Kushina Uzumaki's favorability level is at 'Truly Loves You,' love rating: 9/10]
[Tsunade Senju's favorability level is at 'Secret Admirer,' love rating: 5/10]
[Mito Uzumaki's favorability level is at 'Familial Worry,' love rating: 6/10]
[Kaguya Otsutsuki's favorability level is at 'Motherly Love,' love rating 8/10]
[Host has not properly managed his relationships as a result many of the bound characters are spiraling out of control. It is advised the host assert their dominance.]
'Wait, how does Kaguya know who I am? What's the difference between love and danger ratings?'
[The system advises the host to use their brain. Recalculating mental power stat… error… still A- rank… Advising host on favorability levels…]
[Answering questions… Kaguya Otsutsuki knows about the user via a fragment of her power that is connected to the host. Upon obtaining the same bloodline as her she began to be able to sense and feel your emotions as well as whereabouts. As it's undiluted unlike Hagoromo or Ashura Otsutsuki's bloodline, she currently believes you to be her creation, her true child. A fragment of her chakra that gained consciousness. Warning: Kaguya Otsutsuki is extremely unstable and lonely; her love may become corrupted and fall into the danger ratings.
Information about favorability:
Love ratings- allows the user to gain stat points, powers, and abilities from bound characters and is the path to peaceful cohabitation and a peaceful relationship. A 10 signifies the most healthy relationship possible.
Danger ratings- disallows the user from gaining powers and abilities from bound characters and if the path to destructive relationships. A 10 signifies what the host would call a true yandere, a woman or kunoichi who will stop at nothing to keep you for herself and will disregard your feelings and seek you as a possession for her own 'love'.
Neutral ratings- allows the user to gain some stat points from bound characters and is the path to good friendship. A 10 signifies close, but normal friends.]
'Ah of course… evil uchiha! Damn them… I'm sure I'm strong enough to deal with them…'
[Negative, the user does not possess the ability to overcome bound characters. Mikoto Uchiha unlocked her Third Tomoe from seeing you unconscious and Naori Uchiha possesses a Mangekyo Sharingan with a balanced Physique and Mental Stat. Extreme warning host, Naori Uchiha is rated above Non-Eternal Mangekyo Madara Uchiha. Warning host, Mikoto Uchiha is rated above Chunin-Exam Arc Curse Seal Boosted Three Tomoe Sasuke Uchiha.]
'??? MANGEKYO? WHAT THE HELL? NAORI'S THAT STRONG? WAIT SHE HAD THAT IN THE FILLERS TOO! ISN'T SHE LIKE 22 RIGHT NOW? SHIT!'
Soutarou started sweatdropping immediately.
'Wait Mikoto unlocked her third tomoe from me…? I didn't even know she liked me… what the hell… and what's this about Kushina??? Ah well actually I can understand that I did stand up for her… but what's going on with Mikoto… Hell, what's going on with Tsunade? I've never even met her in person before! Same for Mito, but ok I guess my getting saved by her would explain that… but Naori's the only one I could sort of tell before… but even that was sketchy… I thought she liked me like a little brother… what the hell is going on… but this many girls? Sheesh I'm blushing~ Though am I really that dense system?'
[User is estimated to be denser than a neutron star. Correction: the user is as dense as a neutron star if it were compressed to the size of a legitimate neutron.]
Soutarou's expression darkened and a nonexistent tick mark showed up on the right side of his head.
'No need to exaggerate that much asshole.'
[The system might tell a joke, but you will never catch it telling a lie.]
'Fuck off.'
[The host should brace themselves. Multiple bound characters are making their way towards you. The system advises you to correct their behavior subtly as you speak.]
Soutarou's eyes locked onto the door as he slowly pushed himself upright. He stared at it like at any moment it'd swing open with adversaries threatening to rush through. He gulped as sweat rolled down his black brow, his golden eyes quivering in anticipation. And then nothing… 5 minutes… 10 minutes… 15 minutes…
Soutarou's face had begun to scrunch up in annoyance as cussed out the system, 'You worthless trolling piece of…. Mother-... so worthless that even a beggar shouldn't accept you.'
Soutarou spoke out loud, "Damn piece of shit… just wait until I get my hands on you."
What Soutarou hadn't noticed was while he was cussing out his system ended up speaking out loud 5 girls had walked into the room… 4 of them went pale thinking he was cursing at them and another's hair started floating erratically as if she was about to beat the living shit out of someone.
As Soutarou's eyes landed on them he started coughing and said, "When did you guys get here? Also where am I?"
Mikoto, who was the most pale, immediately ignored his question and asked in a soft yet dazed manner, "Soutarou did I insult you? Did I hurt you? I'm sorry…"
She was literally on the verge of tears… Soutarou's expression blanked and he audibly said, "Huh?"
[Host please use your brain. She thought you were cursing her. Also note, I do not possess tracking abilities you little shit. You get what you pay for and your last life's karma wasn't worth much.]
Soutarou's face darkened before he lightened his expression and smiled before saying, "You guys… I wasn't cursing you… I was cursing my bloodline awakening… talk about a painful birthday huh? I could never hate you guys."
At that the whole room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief though a youthful yet mature lady still seemed upset.
'Is that Mito? WHAT THE HELL- She's so my type… urghk damn Kunoichi! It's really like that hotness chart from back in the day… the hotter she is, the crazier she is! Look at Naori and Mikoto… absolute knock outs… but completely insane.'
At the same time since Soutarou was in her passive sensing zone now, Mito suddenly felt lust directed at her and she became completely flabbergasted and her face scrunched up as she thought, 'BOY! DON'T BE GREEDY! Here I thought Tsunade and Kushina found themselves a nice little cute boy instead he's a pervert… wait he's only 10 he shouldn't have those thoughts yet…'
Soutarou in his head started chanting, 'Pure thoughts Souta, Pure thoughts… Damn Nine Tails! I forgot that she can sense my emotions. Wait, I wonder… I really admire Mito…'
While Mito was getting trolled by Soutarou who was intentionally changing his emotions via a form of hypnosis, the other four girls were all muttering the same thing softly, "He said he could never hate me."
[User please be more mindful of what you say… I'd prefer not to have to reset and find another host so soon.]
Soutarou who was messing around and Mito who was just confused and somewhat more appreciative of the boy both noticed what the girls were saying and started sweat dropping…
Soutarou on instinct latched on Mito's hand and jumped behind her. Which caused Mito's expression to darken. She thought, 'This generation… no men left.. All just sissies… I'll beat this boy into shape and throw him back into this den of wolves later…'
Soutarou felt a chill go down his back and smartly chose to let go of Mito's hand before coughing and saying, "Ahem… Sorry about that, but umm… where am I again."
All the girls woke up from their stupor and Kushina proudly said, "Welcome to the Senju-Uzumaki residence! We brought you here because you were spiking chakra like crazy! Don't worry though Grandma Mito covered for you and told everyone the nine tails had a bit of an accident."
Mito and Soutarou thought at the same time, 'When you say it like that it sounds like the nine tails shit itself.'
Naori quickly added, "I'm also now your and Mito-sama's personal guard Soutarou…"
To which Mikoto and Kushina scowled and Tsunade just tilted her head and said, "I thought you were only Grandma's guard?"
Mito waved her hand and said, "Enough nonsense. Boy why don't you tell us what sort of bloodline you awakened?"
Soutarou hesitated before Mito added, "I've already adopted you legally and no you can't go back to your house Anbu and God knows how many Shinobi broke through the walls after feeling that chakra spike. So you might as well be honest… and just so you know I can feel your chakra being extremely similar to Hashirama's."
Soutarou sighed before simply pouring a bit of chakra into the ground like he would with earth chakra manipulation and a small green stem shot out of the ground before turning into a small tree in the middle of the room. He then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess I'm a senju?"
Tsunade's mouth went agape, Kushina's eyebrows rose but she nodded her head cheerfully, while Naori's and Mikoto's expressions turned weird.
Mito whispered, "You really did awaken wood release…"
After a moment Tsunade literally jumped up and hugged him… and Soutarou suddenly couldn't breathe before he forced his head above 'water' and gasped. Tsunade twirled him around before brightly smiling and saying, "Soutarou Senju! Our clan's going to make a comeback!"
While Kushina pumped her first saying, "I always thought that Soutarou was as talented as the first hokage dattebane!"
Mikoto bobbled her head and said, "As expected of you…"
Naori was more stoic before muttering softly as if no one there was a chakra capable shinobi, "So I'm Madara-sama and your Hashirama-sama?"
To which everyone's expressions turned funny and Soutarou coughed from his 'smoored' marshmallow of a face and said, "I'd never fight you Naori and I know you'd never hurt me!"
[Host. If you wish to die, that's fine, please don't waste the system's energy.]
At that Naori took a deep breath and nodded before snatching him from Tsunade with a glare and slowly started brushing his hair, before she could get too engrossed Mito snatched him back and said, "No more grabbing Soutarou… I've adopted him…. So now 'Senju' Soutarou, how about I train you to become the next God of Shinobi."
To which Soutarou trolled her again and said, "But isn't the Third Hokage the God of Shinobi?"
Mito's grasp on him tightened as this time she felt his amusement before saying, "Say goodbye to everyone now… I need to spend quite some time reeducating a little child."
Soutarou started sweating as he realized Mito could see through his bullshit and quickly said, "Umm… I didn't get to spend time with Naori-nee, Mikoto-nee, Tsunade-nee, or even Kushina!"
Mito's eyes narrowed before saying, "Awfully close I don't remember you and Tsunade ever meeting before Souta-chan… its not good to lie dattebase."
To which Soutarou shamelessly said, "We're senju of course she's Tsunade-nee dattebayo!"
Mito raised her eyebrow and said, "Dattebayo? You're not an Uzumaki, are you Mr. Senju?
Soutarou shamelessly replied, "Of course I am Mito-nee you adopted me and I'm a senju so I just followed your and Kushina's example! We're all family! Naori-nee, Mikoto-nee, Tsunade-nee, Kushina, and you too Mito onee-chan!"
Mito was genuinely blown away at his shamelessness, but as always a compliment often softs the blow and being called Mito-nee tickled her woman's heart which cried out and almost said it was still 21 and never grew a day older.
At that point Mito just let him go and sighed saying, "We'll begin your training tomorrow. I truly intend to help you reach Hashirama's level so don't fool around too much Souta-chan."
Hearing that last part Soutarou's eyebrow twitched before he heard 4 more souta-chan's get muttered and he started sweating again.
'Damn old hag!'
'Damn brat!'
~Somewhere in the Moon~
A being of once great power was floating in the nothingness, a seal of eternity was staring at a vision that was shared with her very fondly before muttering… "Souta…-chan…"
She curled up and closed her eyes as if wishing this scene wouldn't leave her…
(Author's Note: The story will finally start to progress from this point on… stay tuned and yes Tsunade will finally. I mean finally look at her system interface in a while.)
