Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Thanks to the resurrection of Itachi, Fugaku, and Mikoto, Sasuke decided not to go through with his plans, Naruto and he never faced each other at the Valley of the End.
Each one returned to their respective villages and the Bijū were released to the world. Only Gyūki and Kurama remained inside Killer B and Naruto respectively, by their own decision.
Kakashi was named Rokudaime Hokage of Konohagakure, permanently replacing Tsunade.
None of the previous Hokage, except for Hiruzen, wanted to return to the position.
Luckily, Tobirama intervened and told his disciple to leave the position to the next generations.
Speaking of Tsunade, she decided not to leave the village again and stay with Nawaki and Dan. Poor Jiraiya, although happy for Tsunade, realized that he no longer had a chance with her and decided not to get between Dan and her.
Now, even his grandfather and grandmother, Hashirama and Mito, along with his great-uncle Tobirama were alive, giving him even less reason to leave the village.
Asuma was reunited with Kurenai, and played a game of Shōgi with Shikamaru again.
Itachi and Sasuke returned to Konoha, but were imprisoned for their crimes. Normally they would have spent their lives in prison, luckily, with the intervention of Hiruzen and Kakashi, the two were cleared of their charges.
Their participation in the Fourth Ninja War was key to victory, so they could not be imprisoned for long.
The two undid Kabuto's Edo Tensei, and Sasuke faced Obito, the cause of everything that happened.
Obito was the one who carried the burden, and with Mito's help, his Chakra was sealed forever as punishment.
Although, a newly revived Rin Nohara was accompanying him throughout the process, along with his best friend, the Rokudaime Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, who had improved his attitude during these days thanks to the company of his friends and his father, Sakumo Hatake.
Hashirama and Mito settled in the old Senju complex, although there was not much left. And Tobirama followed the actions of the two Uchiha brothers very closely.
Minato and Kushina also returned to Konoha, and moved in with Naruto, who had no complaints about it.
Oh, Yota too. Kushina decided that she and Minato would take care of him as their adopted son. Yota was alone in the world, and he only had Naruto.
In short, in the end everyone had their happy ending, even those who did not deserve it.
At the entrance of Konohagakure, Sasuke said goodbye to Kakashi and Sakura.
He decided to leave Konohagakure and travel the world to atone for his sins, and Itachi decided to accompany him for the same purpose.
Although Itachi had an excuse to return regularly. Izumi was waiting for him.
"What if I told you to take me with you...?" Sakura asked embarrassed, practically declaring his love for her.
"No," Sasuke replied expressionlessly, leaving Sakura stunned.
Itachi slapped his dumb little brother's head with his palm.
"You haven't changed at all after all these years, even as a child, you've never known how to properly express your feelings." Itachi scoffed.
Sasuke ignored him and tapped Sakura's forehead with two of his fingers, just like Itachi did to show his affection.
"See you later." Sasuke told her. Sakura couldn't hold back and hugged him tightly, making Sasuke uncomfortable, who didn't know how to respond.
Along the way, Sasuke ran into Naruto, who was waiting for him to say goodbye in private.
...
Far away from Konohagakure, Kaguya, sitting on a chair with some nice, shiny decorations, watched everyone with curiosity.
"As I guessed, changes have happened. Although on the other hand, if there weren't, I would have to be afraid." I thought, deactivating my Senrigan. Within two months I had been using it constantly and could even transport my consciousness to different parts of the world at the same time, or beyond.
I still hadn't found Isshiki, but I was closer than ever to finding him.
"Kaguya—sama, we have found the body you were looking for." Orochimaru approached me and informed me.
Orochimaru began to work for me until he got what I promised him, a sample of an Ōtsutsuki's DNA.
"Bring it," I ordered.
Through the door came two men dragging a stretcher where the lifeless body of a beautiful young girl with short, straight blue hair lay.
Orochimaru looked at the lifeless woman with interest, wondering what was so special about her that Kaguya decided to take her body back.
She was Konan, former member of Akatsuki, founding member.
"Leave me alone." I ordered, approaching the body once everyone left.
Konan was the only female member of the Akatsuki criminal organization. She is a powerful Kunoichi with a natural talent for origami.
Two shadow clones appeared beside me as I created them, ready to prepare her for her resurrection.
Senrigan granted her an infallible spy ability, and with it she was studying all kinds of Ninjutsu. Although useless when facing the Ōtsutsuki, it can still be useful against others.
For two months she was learning Ninjutsu, Fūinjutsu, Genjutsu, and even Kenjutsu.
He also copied the techniques and Taijutsu of the Hyūga Clan, which while similar to his own, is different in some ways.
Although he did not use a sword, he decided to learn Kenjutsu to increase the lethality of his Shikotsumyaku (Kekkei Genkai of the Kaguya Clan) and his Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu (Ash Bones Kills All) technique.
Although she possessed the ultimate Genjutsu, Infinite Tsukuyomi, she knew no other, so she looked into the past and learned all the knowledge that the Uchiha Clan, Masters of Genjutsu, had.
And about Fūinjutsu, just like with Genjutsu, he took a look into the past and learned everything he could from the Uzumaki Clan.
Turning his attention to Konan, he restored her body while his two clones gave her a change of outfit.
Konan is a very attractive woman who has short, straight blue hair, amber eyes, and violet-blue shadows around her eyes matching her piercing below her lower lip.
It was quite a contrast to see someone like her wearing a maid outfit.
"She'll have to pay me back for bringing her back to life somehow."
Konan was killed by Obito when he infiltrated Amegakure in an attempt to steal Nagato's Rinnegan.
Her corpse sank into the water and Orochimaru's men had a hard time retrieving it.
Konan is a calm person, who doesn't show strong emotions and has a cold demeanor. When she opened her eyes, without any change in her expression, she jumped off the stretcher and stood defensively, ready for a possible confrontation.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, I was the one who brought you back to life." I replied.
"For what purpose?" She uttered a new question, still alert for any possible attack. I had realized that her resurrection was not a product of the Edo Tensei, but a true resurrection, which she believed impossible for anyone other than Nagato.
"I just want a maid who won't die from a simple arrow like the one before you. You have no other choice, you literally owe me your life," I replied, showing and opening the Rinne-Sharingan on my forehead as a threat.
If she decided not to return the favor, I would end her here and now.
The old Kaguya used to have a maid whom she held dear, but her "husband," in order to maintain the peace of his country, decided to take her head and give it to his enemies, who had asked for it in return. To protect her and the children she carried in her womb, her maid uselessly protected her by running towards the soldiers who were shooting arrows at them, dying in the process like a porcupine.
It was then that Kaguya arrived at the Shinju and ate the Chakra Fruit, wiping out half of the humans on the planet and controlling the other half.
"What if I refuse?" she asked coldly. She was the leader of Amegakure after Nagato's death, how could she become the servant of someone she doesn't know?
"Currently, Amegakure has been brought out of the shadows by an organization called Kara. Kara's goal is to cultivate a Shinju large enough to devour all life on the planet." I informed her.
Although she hadn't found Isshiki, she had found traces of him. She had begun forming Kara, her secret organization filled with individuals enhanced with ninja tools.
Currently her only member is Amado, who has already begun his experiments. They have already begun attempting to place Karma into the body of a child to make him Isshiki's vessel, though they wouldn't succeed until several years later.
Konan frowned upon hearing that Amegakure was being controlled by that kind of organization.
I was about to laugh when I saw her expression. Wasn't Amegakure being controlled by Akatsuki before Kara appeared?
It was the same situation no matter how you looked at it.
"Don't even think about facing them, you're weak compared to their leader. Not even your dead friend Nagato could do anything against that guy." I nipped her thoughts in the bud.
I wasn't going to let my new servant waste her new life.
Konan frowned as she was about to say something.
"We can always make a deal. I'll finish them off for you, in exchange you'll work for me." I proposed.
I would finish off Kara anyway. Jigen, their leader, is being completely controlled by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki.
Eliminating Jigen will mean eliminating Isshiki for good. Then I can absorb him and gain more power.
Konan thought about the proposal and came to the conclusion that she had no other choice. Amegakure was her home, and Yahiko and Nagato's bodies rested there, she couldn't just abandon it to its fate.
"What would I have to do if I became your maid?" Konan asked wanting to know what she was getting into. She didn't want to be a simple assassin under the orders of a stranger.
"Serve me tea, get dressed, clean, run my errands... whatever a maid does. I can't do those things by myself." I answered confused. What did I think a maid did?
Konan seemed surprised when I answered her question and quickly hid it, nodding to herself.
"I understand. I'll agree to work for you as your maid if that's the case" she said.
I couldn't help but smile after obtaining such a cute and powerful maid.
