Ascension Or Journey From World To World

4 days have passed since the day of the battle between Konoha and Ame.

This time was enough for the shocking news to spread throughout the Shinobi World.

Konoha was stronger than Ame, and most of the Hidden Villages were not surprised at the outcome of this battle.

Yes, Ame has Hanzo of the Salamander. But this is only one shinobi, and he is not at the level of Hashirama or Madara to single-handedly change the results of such a big battle.

In the end, Konoha also has very strong shinobis, one of which is Hatake Sakumo, Anbu Commander, and a very skilled kenjutsu user.

But even if Konoha's victory was predictable, the Hidden Villages and shinobis couldn't help but be shocked at how Konoha won.

One man... The battle was won by one man. But that's not all, because this man is only 12 years old! The Ame army was defeated by one twelve-year-old shinobi.

This news deeply shocked the whole world and made Ray one of the most famous shinobi.

_______

Land of Wind.

Somewhere in the vast desert of the Land of Wind, in a gorge surrounded by sand dunes and rocks, was one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Sunagakure was one of the most inaccessible to invade and capture the Shinobi villages and really deserves its name as Village Hidden by Sand.

It seemed that this village was protected by mother nature itself because, in addition to naturally formed sheer cliffs, there were always sandstorms around Suna. These natural factors preventing any invasions and preventing the sneak of enemy spies.

....

Kazekage's Residence.

As in many other Shinobi Villages, the Kazekage's Residence was located in the center of Suna and acted as the main administrative building and meeting room of the village council.

The Kazekage's office was located on the top floor and did not differ from the offices of other Kages. It was an ordinary spacious room, in the middle of which stood a large wooden table and a leather armchair.

At the moment, at the table sat a man with mess dark-blue hair and yellow eyes.

This man was the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage in the village's history.

Kazekage sat with his back to the door and listened to the report of his spies.

"...After that, he used some strange jutsu and created thousands of water swallows, which destroyed almost a third of the Ame army. The power of each swallow was no less than that of the Second Hokage's famous jutsu. We classified this jutsu as Kinjutsu. The report is over", a man dressed in a black coat and mask said.

"Did you find out to which clan this child belongs?" Kazekage calmly asked.

"Yes. He is the future head of the Uzumaki clan," another spy replied.

"Ho, Uzumaki?" Kazekage was a little surprised.

He got up from his seat and looked at his spies.

"Keep collecting rumors and information about this <Ame no Kenshi>. He is only twelve years old, but he has already become an S-class shinobi. Find out all his weaknesses and habits. We must try to kill him before he becomes too big a threat," standing in front of his spies, Kazekage said gravely.

He was afraid that Konoha might have a second Hashirama. And unlike Hashirama himself, <Ame no Kenshi> does not look like a dreamy idiot and will become a real threat not only to Suna but to the whole Land of Wind.

"Hai, Kazekage-sama," the shinobis answered and left the Kazekage's office.

Kazekage sat on his leather chair and returned to paper work.

______

Land of Earth.

Iwagakure was located somewhere among the many mountain ranges of the Land of Earth.

Like Village Hidden by Sand, Village Hidden by Rocks is surrounded by a natural barrier that prevents invasions and prevents the sneak of enemy spies.

....

Tsuchikage's Residence.

All the houses and buildings of Iwa were built right inside the high cliffs and mountains, which were interconnected by numerous bridges.

It looked very unusual and strange... Especially for Shinobi World. If it were not rocks, but trees, then Village Hidden by Rocks would look like a stereotypical forest elf village...

The Tsuchikage's Residence was located in the center of the village and was built on top of the highest cliff.

Tsuchikage's office.

Tsuchikage's office was a spacious room, at the end of which stood a large stone table. The walls of the room were covered with square holes in which some doc.u.ments and not very important reports were stored. Tsuchikage's office was like an ordinary office and did not differ from the offices of other Kages...

A short old man sat at a stone table. The old man had a half-bald head and a large red nose. He was wearing a green and yellow robe with a large red collar.

This red-nosed old man is the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki.

Onoki read the reports of his spies and threw them aside.

"Ha? <Ame no Kenshi>? He defeated the Ame Army alone? Konoha has another arrogant child and these idiots overestimate him too much. I'm sure that he is an ordinary child whose power is even less than that of these Sannin. Sannin? Hahahahaha. Legendary shinobis? What a joke! They do not deserve such a title," reading this report, Onoki could not help but remember his youth and how he was humiliated by Uchiha Madara. He did not believe that a shinobi could appear in the Leaf, whose power would be equal to that of this Madara monster.

The Third Tsuchikage decided to ignore the news about Sannin and <Ame no Kenshi>. He really was an arrogant, stupid, and cunning old man.

______

Land of Lightning.

Village Hidden by Clouds was located on the high ridges of the Land of Lightning. Due to the difficult terrain and highlands, Kumogakure was a very inaccessible village. Besides the high mountains, the village has always been surrounded by white clouds. It is because of this that the village got its name.

Since the Land of Lightning has a very developed economy and trade, Kumo is the ric.h.e.s.t and one of the strongest shinobi villages.

Unlike Suna shinobis, Kumo shinobis never have a shortage of missions and they always have work and earnings.

This is the only village that fights not for the sake of resources and new lands, but for the sake of increasing military force, jutsus, hidens, and shinobi with bloodlines.

...

Raikage's Residence.

The Raikage's residence was built around the top of one of the mountains and was a balloon-like, blue spherical building, on top of which a large number of trees and other vegetation grew.

The Raikage's office was on the top floor and looked like the sanctuary of a bodybuilder.

In the office, there was a huge number of various training apparatus and a giant window through which one could see white clouds and the entire Village Hidden by Clouds.

"998"

"999"

"1000"

*BOOOM*

In the middle of the room stood a tall, muscular man who threw a large dumbbell on the floor.

"Hahaha. The more biceps, the more chakra," bending his arms and flexing his biceps, the Third Raikage laughed.

The Third Raikage is a living legend of the Shinobi World and the Village Hidden by Clouds.

A is the man who single-handedly defeated the eight-tails and chopped off all his tails and one horn.

He defeated the eight-tails not once, but two. His second battle against the eight-tails occurred just a few weeks ago.

The reason for this battle was none other than Orochimaru. He infiltrated Kumo and drugged Blue B, which caused him to lose control and release the eight-tails. While the Raikage fought against the eight-tails, the snake bastard stole a huge amount of jutsus, the results of research bloodlines and DNA that Kumo scientists studied.

The Raikage did not know the identity of the thief, but he knew that the thief was Konoha's shinobi. If the village had not been weakened due to the battle against the Uzumaki clan, A would have attacked the Konoha village long ago and kidnapped their kunoichis.

"<Ame no Kenshi>, huh? A surviving member of the Uzumaki clan. We cannot let him live, this child has too much potential and poses a threat to Kumo. If he grows up and becomes even stronger, he may try to take revenge on our village," sitting down on a big sofa, muttered hey.

"Time. We need some more time. The Uzumaki bastards destroyed more than half of our shinobis, because of this loss, we cannot even participate in the Second War. When we restore Kumo's military force, we will attack Konoha and avenge the death of Blue B", closing his eyes, A said quietly.

_____

Land of Water.

Village Hidden by Mist is the only shinobi village that is truly "hidden".

Due to the brutal and bloody policy, almost nothing is known about the village. Kiri has very few spies from other Hidden Villages because Kiri's society is a caste system, which is almost impossible to break out of.

This policy has not changed since the First Mizukage and the end of the Warring States Period.

....

Mizukage's Residence.

Due to constant fog and high humidity, buildings in Kiri were built in the form of high stone towers.

Like other shinobi villages, Mizukage's Residence was the tallest building and was located in the center of the village.

Mizukage's office.

The Mizukage office is a spacious square room with a large wooden table in the center.

Behind the table were several large windows from which one could see the entire Village Hidden by Mist.

At the moment, a man with long black hair was sitting at the table.

This man is the Third Mizukage.

The Third Mizukage is a very cautious and calm person. Before he became Mizukage, he was the bodyguard and right hand of the First Mizukage.

Mizukage put a report scroll on the table and thought.

"Uzumaki? *Sigh* I don't think he will survive. He has too much potential and has already attracted too much attention," looking at the scroll, the Third Mizukage said.

[This has nothing to do with us. We must restore our force and prepare for the next war. We destroyed the Uzumaki clan and now we need to seize their fertile lands. The Village Hidden by Mist has too few islands on which to grow crops.] looking at other reports, Mizukage thought.

______

Konoha.

After Konoha's victory in the battle against Ame, the atmosphere of the village changed and became more calm and relaxed.

Local inhabitants returned to their daily lives and acted as if it was a time of peace, not war. These idiots believed that new heroes would protect them from any danger...

They too strongly believed in the Will of Fire and the strength of their village. But they forgot that Konoha no longer has Hashirama or Tobirama, and their Third Hokage is aging and getting weaker every day.

While the inhabitants of Konoha celebrated the victory and birth of new war heroes, a meeting of village leaders was held at the Hokage's Residence.

...

Hokage's Residence. Meeting room.

"Hiruzen! You should have given this child to me! I would make him the perfect weapon!" hitting the table, the man with bandages on his head shouted loudly.

Only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, and Shimura Danzo were present in the meeting room... Konoha's kings and a quartet of old friends.

The topic of their discussion was the battle against Ame and the emergence of new Konoha's heroes.

"What are you talking about, Danzo, he's the last male Uzumaki!" looking at Danzo with disapproval, Homura shouted.

Danzo looked at Homura and narrowed his single eye.

"I would make him an obedient weapon, and after that, I would order him to i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e the women I have chosen! Do not forget that he still has a little sister! She could give birth to one pure-blood Uzumaki a year! Having two Uzumaki, we could restore the Uzumaki clan! A clan that would be obedient and faithful to the village and only to it!" with a manic gleam in his eye, Danzo shouted.

"ENOUGH!!! How dare you say such nasty things! They are still children! Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei would kill you for these words!" directing the killing intent and pressure of the chakra at Danzo, Hiruzen shouted.

"Hahahahaha !!! Don't be a hypocrite, Hiruzen! Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sensei would kill us all if they knew that we could have saved the Uzumaki clan, but decided not to do this!!! Why? Because their death was beneficial to Konoha!" looking at Hiruzen with madness in his eye, Danzo laughed out loud.

Homura and Koharu looked at their friends and did not know what to say. The elders did not agree with Danzo's methods and words, but they understood his point of view. Uzumaki boy turned out to be too talented and strong, no one could predict this! His existence and strength can destabilize the power in Konoha and they have no leverage against him.

"You are too weak, Hiruzen! Because of your weakness, Konoha has lost the ability to control the powerful shinobi and potential breeding machine! You will regret it! Now this child has become too strong and popular, and we can't control him in any way!" looking into Hiruzen's eyes, Danzo continued to scream.

Hiruzen looked at his friend and former team member with pity. He was sad that Danzo was plunged into all this darkness and thirst for power.

"Get out of here! You cannot and will not control these children!" getting up from his seat, Hiruzen said loudly.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen with a cold gaze and stood up from his seat.

"You will regret it, Hiruzen. Remember my words. Uzumaki Ray is much more than you think. If you do not believe me, then check the barrier that he created around the Uzumaki Quarter. Even Mito was not able to create such powerful barriers," leaving from the meeting room, Danzo said calmly.

Hiruzen did not answer and sat down in his seat.

*Sigh*

"Danzo has changed too much," Hiruzen said with a sigh.

"So what are we going to do? We have to reward your students and Uzumaki Ray," looking at the tired Hiruzen, Koharu asked.

"I've already decided everything. Uzumaki Ray will become Konoha's jonin and will receive official permission to create the Uzumaki clan," looking at Homura and Koharu, Hiruzen answered.

"Perhaps this is the only right decision. If we ignore his merits, we will lose the respect of most of our shinobis and kunoichis," Homura nodded.

Koharu nodded and said:

"I would not want to give such a strong shinobi even more political power, but this is really the only right decision. We must not make him our enemy. It will end very badly."

*Clap*

"Then everything is decided, I propose to consider this subject closed," clapping his hands, Hiruzen said.

Homura and Koharu nodded again and began to get up from their seats.

Three friends left the meeting room and returned to their duties.

_____

The Uzumaki Quarter.

"Waaaahhh. Mikoto, have you seen it!? Ray-nii-chan is so cool! He single-handedly defeated the entire Ame army!" pointing her finger at the big screen, Kushina screamed joyfully.

*Sigh*

"Kushina... we are watching the record of this battle for the 78th time," covering her face with her right hand, Mikoto answered with a sigh.

Kushina moved her eyes at Mikoto and looked at her as if she had eaten the last bowl of ramen.

"Ddddo not look at me so! Have you forgotten that I have a sharingan and we have the occlumency? I already remember every second of this record!" puffing her cheeks, Mikoto answered.

Kushina shook her head and put her hands on Mikoto's shoulders.

"You don't understand! You don't need to remember this battle, you have to watch it on the screen! This is the meaning of the existence of anime, films, cartoons, and any videos! This is a real art!" starting to shake Mikoto, Kushina said excitedly.

Mikoto freed herself from Kushina's capture and got up from the large sofa on which they were sitting.

"Art… IS AN EXPLOSION!!!" throwing a smoke bomb on the floor, Mikoto shouted.

*Cough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

"MIIII-KOOOOO-TOOOOOOOOOOOO", Kushina's angry cry sounded.

....

Somewhere on the roof of the Uzumaki mansion.

"Hehehe. I like that phrase. Ray said it was the catchphrase of one Iwa's bomber. I would like to fight this man. I wonder what will be stronger, his bombs or my Susanoo?" sitting on the roof and looking at the sky, Mikoto said cheerfully.

"I miss Ray. Only two weeks have passed, but it's the longest two weeks of my life. *Sigh* When he returns, we will cook all his favorite meal, after which we will just sit back and enjoy each other's company. I am sure that Tsuna-nee will completely agree with this proposal, she likes to mess around and loves the wine and sake that Ray makes. Hehehe," continuing to look at the sky, Mikoto said with a smile.

 "MIKOTO! YOUR BOMB STAINED OUR CARPET. I WILL MAKE YOU CLEAN THIS CARPET WITH A SMALL TOOTHBRUSH, TTEBANE", Kushina's angry cry sounded again.

Hearing her words, Mikoto's eyes widened and she began to form hand seals.

"Next time, Kushina, next time", disappearing from the roof, Mikoto's whisper sounded.
