Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 42.
...
...
BOOOOM!!!
An explosion happened in the distance with rocks flying everywhere, the toads from afar looked toward that side of Mount Myoboku, seeming already used to it.
"Are they going to stay like that all day? I need to sleep..." Among the giant toads, there were a few small ones left at the edge of a waterfall.
"Get used to it... you know it's always like this when they're training." Gamabunta said as he lit his pipe to smoke a little and let the waterfall fall onto his back.
Another explosion occurred at that moment, while Gamabunta tried to relax ignoring Minato's presence there.
"It would be worse if he had to summon that giant dragon..." Gamabunta commented, before suddenly an explosion appeared in the sky, the toad just sighed as the enormous blue dragon began to appear.
"Minato?" Guren said with her mouth half open from above, as the toads looked at a somewhat common scene, since the dragon often appeared here with Minato summoning him to train.
In front of Guren's eyes, Minato was talking to him.
"I want to train your ability. Can we do that?" Minato asked as Guren nodded.
Other explosions began happening below, while both were flying a thousand meters above the ground.
Guren then moved toward one of the nearby mountains in their line of sight, he placed his two small arms forward, beginning to create black clouds, grabbing them and quickly circling the mountain at high speed, making several rings with the clouds around that mountain.
When he finished, he pulled away, as the entire area could see the mountain over 1000 meters tall surrounded by three streams of clouds that the dragon created. Even Kushina, who was training the Oodama Rasengan, stopped to look at the mountain, surprised. She didn't know exactly what Minato planned with the serpent-dragon, but it was big.
"Can you pull it?" Minato said atop Guren's head, looking to the side, curious about the mountain.
This was one of the abilities Guren was developing, learning it from the other dragons. As they had discussed, Minato began to discover how dragons lived on large islands floating in the air.
Even in dragon territory, they were almost never seen by those who tried to venture there, which was why they were so rare, and the mention of dragons was almost nonexistent anywhere in the ninja world.
Obviously, Guren's presence, just like the first time at Mount Myoboku, would shock everyone seeing that kind of summoning.
All the toads were afraid of Guren, not only because of his colossal size but also because of the powers he trained with Minato.
The rarity of dragons was due to their intelligence and their abilities, because just as Guren was doing, they could levitate large masses of land, making them their homes, while they remained floating in the air far from the reach of other living beings—flying itself was an extremely rare ability.
Guren had started training with small stones, gradually increasing. But he had never reached a mountain before, though the dragons could do even more.
So they pushed themselves to lift the mountain from the ground, which required even more strength than its own weight. But he looked serious, beginning to force it, using the very clouds around the mountain with nothing but his will.
It began to tremble, cracking in various parts as it was pushed upward. That alone had proven it could levitate that weight, while trying to lift it more and more off the ground.
Those who witnessed it around Mount Myoboku felt a tremor shortly after, as Shima immediately jumped beside her husband, looking shocked as she exited the house, wondering what was happening this time, her eyes fixed on the slightly distant mountain.
"Hey, dad, what... what is the boy planning?" Shima exclaimed to Fukasaku.
"I don't know, mama... He just seems to do something new every time he summons that dragon..." Fukasaku replied, equally surprised.
Minato, in the outer parts of central Mount Myoboku, kept performing rather crazy training every time he came here, from almost summoning the Nine-Tailed Fox to bringing the jinchuuriki for training, even putting that dragon through tests. He could already say that nothing should surprise him anymore.
Meanwhile, on the mountain, the ground began to crack from there. On one side, Minato looked surprised and satisfied.
"You're doing it, Guren!" he cheered.
The cracking continued to circle the entire mountain, with the echo of splitting rocks spreading throughout the region. And then, in the next moment, the mountain finally began to detach from the earth, starting to levitate as loose stones fell from beneath it, lifting a cloud of dust on all sides.
"Very good!" Minato laughed, as the mountain began to rise into the sky.
Kushina stood frozen and stunned, watching in surprise, still transformed in her Nine-Tails chakra cloak.
The toads were even more shocked, watching a mountain that had always been part of their home's landscape simply begin to ascend into the sky, wrapped in those clouds, wondering how the dragon was doing that—and how it was even possible.
The mountain kept rising, while Guren spent about ten minutes circling it over a thousand meters above the ground, all the while studying his abilities like the dragons.
Minato was certain that, from this point on, he knew that the dragons of this world were identical to the dragons created through the fruits of the One Piece world, with Guren being a copy of Kaido, but with a friendly temperament. Although, according to Guren, there were at least 30 dragons living in his territory.
"Yes," Guren replied. "I finally managed to lift something this big, my teacher will be proud!" he celebrated.
"Very good. Now... do you think we can lower it carefully and place it in the same spot?" he said at the end, as Guren began to lower the mountain back in place, touching the ground gently. Still, it gave a slight tremor to the earth and raised another cloud of dust due to its weight, even with Guren being careful not to let it fall like a meteor.
"We're done here, we'll see each other soon," Minato said goodbye to Guren. After that, Guren also said his farewell and said they would talk again later, before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Minato began to fall from the sky, before using his teleportation jutsu and landing beside Kushina.
"That was... quite surprising," she murmured, looking at the smoke starting to fade in the sky with Guren disappearing.
"You could say that. Well, that's one of his abilities. Anyway... how's the training going?" Minato asked, since he was helping her learn his specialty: the Rasengan and its variations. Obviously, there was no one better who could instruct her.
"I've already mastered the giant Rasengan, but I'm trying to create several at once with the chakra cloak arms... but it's a bit tricky," she said with a sigh, before looking at him, determined.
"But obviously, I'm going to learn it, Minato. Dattebane!" she exclaimed, fired up.
Minato smiled, making her look at him seriously.
"Minato... why are you so distracted today?" Kushina suddenly asked, as he raised an eyebrow.
"You think so?" he said, a bit embarrassed.
"Of course I do. I know you. You're always training all the time, but with those eyes... you're distracted," she murmured.
He sighed. After all, he had just returned to the village and immediately took Kushina alone to Mount Myoboku, since he wanted to check something with her using the Kyuubi cloak, and he couldn't draw attention by making all the girls disappear from the village—so he took only her.
He looked seriously at Kushina this time.
"Since I entered the village, Kushina, something's wrong. The atmosphere in the village has changed... and I believe Hiruzen already knows about our plan. There's a lot of surveillance on all of us, he's working to prevent the clans' conspiracy..." Minato said, raising a worried look from Kushina the next moment.
"Someone betrayed us," she already guessed angrily, while Minato seemed quite calm about it.
"It was a risk. It was very likely to happen, but either way, I still want to continue. Now that the time to act is approaching, when the moment comes, we'll have to be ready," he said.
"Will you be okay? You said your whole team is made to spy on you, what if they try something?" Kushina murmured, worried.
"It's very likely they'll do even more. But don't worry about me. I'm more worried about you and the rest of the girls," he said before continuing.
"You know that now, controlling the Kyuubi's chakra... it gives you the ability to sense people's hatred. If you feel any danger near you, don't hesitate to use that power, understood? I'm confident you can handle anyone in the village with the chakra cloak and Kurama's help. What worries me are the others." he warned.
"I will protect all of them," Kushina said.
But Minato shook his head.
"You still can't leave your house. You have to keep up appearances. I'll take care of it... It's time to change Mikoto's eyes," he said.
In the end, they stayed a bit longer, while Minato tried to focus on teaching Kushina without thinking too much about the village's problems.
They returned to Kushina's house, dispelling the two clones that had stayed there to trick the ANBU in the next moment.
Minato picked up a scroll and began to write, avoiding even creating a sound barrier like Kushina always did, since the even more alert eyes and ears of the ANBU could notice something wrong. So he wrote down his final impressions on the paper, while she watched him and nodded, without saying a word.
Then, he burned the paper and began to leave, heading toward another house of the Senju clan, while inviting Tsunade to his apartment. She nodded, and they went there using the teleportation jutsu.
They found Mikoto preparing coffee.
"You've arrived," Mikoto commented, taking a cake out of the oven, while Minato just made a gesture to silence her. She merely nodded.
He picked up a scroll again and started giving information. Mikoto looked surprised by it, but nodded.
Her eyes were getting worse... as Minato had asked her to train, her movements were becoming even dangerous, so the time had come—she needed to transplant new Mangekyou to achieve her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
With that, Mikoto would become the most powerful among the girls while Kushina didn't yet have her full transformation, that is, if Mikoto was still stronger.
In any case, Minato wrote that they would have some time using the Raijin. They just left the cake stored to avoid raising suspicions, and once they were ready, knowing there were many ANBU ninja around, Minato teleported the two to his nearly finished house.
"We have only a few minutes before the ANBU get here. Let's make clones and give them enough chakra to last days and fool the sensory ninja," he instructed.
They nodded and quickly made the clones to pretend to be them inspecting the house, and the three originals vanished the next moment.
Minato, Mikoto, and Tsuna went to Tsunade's secret lab, where she had worked on implementing Nawaki's arm—though she hadn't participated in the surgery due to her fear of blood, her daughter had done it.
All the necessary equipment was already there, and it would be easy to perform the transplantation.
"Lie down on the table, I want to do a check-up on your condition before we begin," Tsuna requested as Mikoto lay down.
Minato stayed off to the side, waiting for the first part to finish so he could retrieve the eyes he had kept safe.
"You knew about this, didn't you?" Tsuna asked Mikoto, while Minato looked up, not knowing what they were talking about, as Mikoto pressed her lips together without knowing how to answer.
"Damn it... what else could I expect with you two sleeping together..." Tsuna said with a voice full of anger.
"What are you talking about?" Minato raised an eyebrow at her.
"You didn't even notice? She's pregnant," Tsuna said, looking at him, while Minato seemed to have the ground pulled from under his feet by something so shocking.
"What...?" was all he managed to let out.
