Ascension Or Journey From World To World

Village Hidden by Whirling Tides

6 months later.

It was an ordinary sunny day. Uzushio, as always, was filled with noise and everyday bustle. The few children of Uzumaki ran around the streets and played shinobi.

Their older relatives went about their own business, some of them playing shogi, others drew various fuin seals. There were even a few young Uzumaki who decided to visit one of the ramen restaurants from the very early morning.

Uzushio shinobis went on their missions. In the main, it was not far from the Land of Whirlpools. They very rarely carried out missions away from the village, and if someone wanted to take such a mission, they needed to get permission from Uzukage or the elders.

The Village Hidden by Whirling Tides was very rich, and its economy was not dependent on the number of missions completed by its shinobis. In most cases, Uzushio shinobis were carried out their missions to gain experience, establish new contacts, and trade relations.

The Uzumaki clan grew medicinal herbs, tobacco and sold a variety of fuin seals, which was the basis of their economy.

Their goods were popular in almost all countries, other hidden villages were no exception because fuin seals was a very important tool for any shinobi. And only Uzumaki could create the most complex and useful seals. This does not mean that other shinobi are not able to create their own fuin seals, but they can never make them as high-quality as Uzumaki will do.

Uzukage's residence.

Uzukage's residence was a complex consisting of traditional Japanese houses. Although the Uzumaki Royal Family lived here, but the houses were not something special and they did not have any kind of luxury, they did not at all differ from the houses of other Uzumaki.

The Uzumaki did not like to demonstrate their position and wealth, they loved the traditional style of minimalism. Their houses were very comfortable and filled with domestic warmth. That was all they needed.

Ray's room.

Although Prince Uzumaki was still a two-year-old child, he refused to sleep in the same bed with his pregnant aunt. He stated that he was already a man and he needed his own room. His grandfather, Kenshin, did not object to this decision and allowed him to choose a room for himself.

It might seem strange, but it was a world of killers and wars, in which children became a.d.u.l.ts and m.a.t.u.r.e much earlier than children in other worlds, even in worlds that have mana or ki.

In the case of Prince Uzumaki, everything was even more serious, because he never hid his intellect and from the day of his awakening in this world he showed all his maturity and prudence.

His grandfather Kenshin, Uncle Haruto, and Aunt Kiyoko were very proud of their grandson/nephew. They increasingly believed that Ray was born for greatness.

In the middle of the traditional room was a low Japanese table, at which sat a little boy with white hair.

The boy held a scroll filled with many strange patterns in his hands.

*Sigh*

With a sigh, the boy closed the scroll and threw it toward a small pile of other similar scrolls.

"Fuinjutsu is truly an incredible shinobi art. It is very similar to runes and enchantments, but unlike these two kinds of magic, Fuinjutsu requires good blood and calligraphy skills.

The quality of rune magic and enchantment depends on the material on which the runes or inscriptions are cut, as well as on an external energy source, due to which the sequence of runes or inscriptions works. Unlike them, fuinjutsu depends on the quality of the master's blood and calligraphy skills, and it works on a different principle, the blood itself acts as a source of energy, it absorbs the surrounding energy and uses it to operate the "program". Therefore, the more energy the blood can absorb, the better the fuin seal will be.

But fuinjutsu also has its drawbacks, fuin seals is not suitable for creating very complex programs and processes. In most cases, they can perform only one specific action, it can be "storage", "explosion", "binding", "sealing", you cannot create a "storage and explosion" seal, this is the main drawback of fuinjutsu.

*Sigh*

I think Fleur will be able to study the fuinjutsu and use the acquired knowledge to create a new branch of magic. Perhaps she can even combine fuinjutsu, rune magic, and enchantment, and create something more powerful and better," looking at the ceiling and sighing, the boy muttered quietly.

He got up from his seat and went towards the exit of the room.

Going to the sliding door, the boy opened it and went out into the courtyard. He glanced around the courtyard covered with green grass and flowers and walked towards the wooden bench, which stood near a small stream.

[Six months, huh? Time really goes very fast. It's a pity that I still can't use the chakra, but at least I can train and simulate various jutsus in my mindscape.] sitting down on a bench and looking at a stream, the boy thought.

[And I finally got one of the best cheats in the entire Multiverse... Shadow Clones! Tobirama is a true genius, the potential of this technique is unlimited. Shadow clones train and improve the mind and greatly accelerate the learning and acquisition of new knowledge. But I will never use conscious and intelligent clones, and I will never use them to satisfy the needs of my wives. What an abomination? This is a real NTR, what trash and pervert did this come up with? These are clones! What difference does it make that their memory returns to the original? This is an ordinary memory, not a feeling of real action! Why then pick up so many beautiful women and build a harem if clones are used to satisfy the s.e.x.u.a.l needs of all these women? Only a real pervert, trash, and an NTR fetishist will use the clones to satisfy his women.] the boy continued to look at the water flowing in the stream and think about something, he did not know that his pupils had become vertical, and his body began to release a huge killing intent.

"I will cleanse the metaverse and burn all this human trash. This is my dra… ninja way!" jumping up from his place and raising his hands to the sky, the boy shouted loudly.

This day was the day when the future Overlord made a promise to cleanse his metaverse from all NTR fetishists.

2 minutes later.

"Ara ara. Ray-chan, are you okay? I heard your scream, didn't you get hurt?" approaching a boy with white hair and checking his body and face for wounds, a beautiful young woman asked anxiously.

This woman was Ray's new aunt, Kiyoko.

Kiyoko was a slender young woman with beautiful purple eyes and long red hair reaching her lower back. She had fair skin and a gentle expression. Kiyoko was wearing a simple blue dress and purple shinobi sandals. She was very similar to the a.d.u.l.t Kushina, and this was not surprising, because Kiyoko is the mother of the unborn Kushina.

Ray got up from his seat and helped Kiyoko sit on the bench, over the past six months he has adopted his new family, and now he will never refuse them.

He looked at Kiyoko with concern and said:

"Kiyoko-nee, you shouldn't get out of bed."

Kiyoko smiled and patted Ray on the head, he did not mind it, because now he is a child, especially since he appreciated the manifestation of her love and affection for him.

"Ufufufufu, you don't need to worry. I am a very strong woman. And I feel that I will give birth tonight," bending her hand and showing Ray "strength," Kiyoko giggled.

Ray nodded, he also felt that the child had gathered enough vital energy and was ready for its appearance in this world.

"Then I will take you to your room, you need to rest and get ready for childbirth," taking Kiyoko's hand, Ray said.

Kiyoko got up from her seat and let Ray take her into the room.

"Ara ara, and which of us is older?" following Ray, Kiyoko said.

"You are physically older *now*, but I am mentally older *always*", continuing to walk towards Kiyoko's room, Ray answered without turning.

"Ara, why do I feel that these words have a hidden meaning, and that Ray called me stupid?" tilting her head to the side, Kiyoko whispered.

Of course, Ray heard her whisper, but did not answer, he smiled and continued on his way.

He closed his eyes and began to think about the future...

Ray will make sure that Kushina is born without any problems, and that Kiyoko's health does not deteriorate and she does not become weaker.

_____

The morning of the next day.

Kiyoko gave birth without complications, she gave birth to a healthy girl and did not receive any injuries.

Haruto and Kiyoko named their daughter Kushina.

The birth of Kushina made it clear to Ray that no more than 9 years remained before the destruction of Uzushio.

He well knew the chronology of the events of the world of Naruto, and knew that Kushina was supposed to move to Konoha at the age of 8 years. Around the same time, or a year later, the Village Hidden by Whirling Tides was destroyed by the combined forces of Kumo, Kiri, and other small villages.

The war against Uzushio did not go without consequences for them, the combined army of all these villages suffered catastrophic losses, because of these losses, they practically did not participate in the second shinobi war.

Although Ray was strong enough, he was not an idiot and did not want to lose his main advantage - knowledge of the canon, he did not know which of his actions could prevent the resurrection of Kaguya and did not want to check it. But this does not mean that he will stay away from the main events of this world because he has already influenced the whole world to some extent.

As long as he can get Kaguya and the chakra fruit, he will be completely satisfied with it.

....

Ray also wanted to save the Uzushio and all of Uzumaki who lived in it. He already had a plan of how he could implement this without much influence on the canon.

Saving the Uzushio was not some kind of difficult matter, all he needed for this was fuinjutsu.

Ray planned to create another space, a small world, and move the entire Village Hidden by Whirling Tides into it.

The eight trigrams seal and spatial seal will help him in this

Ray had already studied the eight trigrams seal and was amazed at its capabilities and potential. It turned out that this is not just a sealing fuin. This seal creates its own space! Similar techniques are very rare not only in this universe, but in the entire multiverse. Examples include objects such as the <Myriad Miles, Rivers, and Mountains> painting or <Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal>. Both of these objects were created using such techniques, and knowing what they are capable of, we can conclude about the potential of eight trigrams seal.

In addition to saving Uzushio, Ray wanted to preserve the history and all the losses of the combined army of Kumo, Kiri, and other small villages.

To do this, he needed to create a huge illusory array that would create the illusion of Uzushio and its inhabitants. As soon as the attackers enter the land of the Village Hidden by Whirling Tides, there will be a huge explosion that will destroy Uzushio and kill all the attackers. Thus, the canon will retain its existence and everyone will be satisfied. The Uzumaki clan will disappear from this world, and Ray and Kushina will live in Konoha.

Of course, Ray will not allow her to become a vessel for the nine-tailed, but he was sure that the Will of the World would fix it and find another woman for this purpose. After all, this World needs a Protagonist, Dattebayo!

Kiyoko's and Haruto's room.

On the big bed lay a tired and exhausted young woman. Her face was covered with sweat, due to which several strands of red hair stuck to her forehead. In the arms of a woman slept a newborn girl with plump cheeks and a round face.

Near the bed stood three people, two men, and a two-year-old boy.

"Kiyoko, how are you feeling?" the young man asked anxiously.

The man had long, tied in a tail, red hair and piercing blue eyes. He had keen facial features than he looked like his father, Uzukage. The man was dressed in a traditional, black male kimono. That man was Ray's uncle, Haruto.

The woman looked at her husband and answered with a smile:

"Mmm, I feel tired and a little drowsy. But! I will be fine after eating a few servings of my favorite ramen."

"Hahaha. I told you that you don't need to worry. Kiyoko is a strong woman and she will recover very quickly," slapping Haruto on the back, Kenshin laughed loudly.

"Father, be quiet, you'll wake Kushina-chan," Haruto quickly said.

While the two men continued to talk to each other, Ray went closer to the bed and began to look at baby Kushina.

[So, this little and cute girl is Kushina. Hehehe, in childhood she really had a round face and plump cheeks. Who would have thought that this girl would become one of the most beautiful women in this world? The idiots from Konoha only realized this when she got older.] Ray thought.

He continued to look at Kushina and was lost in thought, so he did not notice the look of his aunt.

Kiyoko looked from Ray to Kushina and back from Kushina to Ray, stars appeared in her eyes, and a light came on above her head. Who knew what kind of idea was born in this red head.

While each of them was preoccupied with their thoughts, the little girl opened her beautiful violet-blue eyes and began to look around. At one point, she saw Ray and began to pull her little hands towards him.

Kiyoko, of course, saw this and her lips curved in the winner's smile. She felt as though she had won the grand prize in a major tournament.

"Ara ara. It seems that Kushina-chan agrees with my ideal plan. Ufufufufu. Kushina-chan, you have to protect Ray from these vixens, I'm sure that when he is older, he will become a real lady killer. Some elders have already started offering us to betroth Ray to their granddaughters. Ufufufufu, but now we have a good excuse for refusing," looking at her daughter, Kiyoko quietly whispered.

But her whisper was no secret to Ray. Hearing the words of her aunt, Ray's right eyebrow began to twitch.

"Hohohohoho."

Ray heard a familiar laugh and looked up.

As soon as he saw the source of laughter, his left eyebrow began to twitch.

[What the heck? Is it really genjutsu created by the Power of Youth!? What a terrible power!]

Chibi Astoria flew over his head. Astoria was dressed in a pink dress, and on her back were pink fairy wings. Astoria had a pink bow in her right hand, and a quiver of arrows hung on her belt. You could see that the arrowheads looked like hearts.

"Hohohohoho. This Empress of Flame was right again! *nods* *nods* *nods* As expected from Astoria-sama. Hohoho. Dear husband really level upped his basic skill <Waifus Collector>. Now he no longer needs to travel around the world and look for the right waifus! After all, he can raise the right waifus! Uhum, uhum. *nods* *nods* *nods* This Empress of Flame completed her mission and can now return to the country of fairies."

"ho."

"hoho."

"hohoho."

"HOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO *cough* *cough* *cough* I need to keep improving my laughter! Yes! I must become the best Empress of the Flame!!!"

Ray looked at Chibi Astoria flying away through the open window with a blank expression on his face.

"I need salt, a lot of salt, I have to banish the Power of Youth from this house," arms crossed, Ray mumbled.

Ray turned toward the exit and began to leave the room.

Kenshin, Haruto, and Kiyoko looked at Ray leaving the room with questioning looks on their faces, they asked themselves questions: "Why does he need salt? And... What is the Power of Youth?"

But in this World, there are questions for which it is impossible to find the correct answers...
