Hello! Shameless TL here, just a quick plug on a new book titled HP: Reborn as Gilderoy Lockhart. You might want to check it out! I promise its good!
====================================
"It's over!"
After Hyuga Mirai, Tsunade, Senju Hashirama, and Senju Tobirama came out, he announced the end of the incident.
Overall, Hyuga Mirai had been more devious. He hid part of his strength so that Otsutsuki Hagoromo did not notice, and in the end eliminated him in one decisive move. Otherwise, that guy might very well have released ancient deities that had been sealed for a long time to deal with him. Hyuga Mirai had no idea what abilities those gods possessed or how strong they were.
In short, it was a close call but without real danger, and the Pure Land space was now under Hyuga Mirai's control.
"What are your plans next? Tsunade has already agreed to take over the reform of the medical system. The Federation has only one goal: to allow all Federation civilians to treat any illness at a very low cost. What about the two of you?"
Hyuga Mirai smiled at the Senju brothers as he spoke. He described Tsunade's actions as very noble, and if it were accomplished, that would indeed be the case. Once the medical reform succeeded, Federation newspapers would praise Tsunade continuously for a month, letting everyone know of her achievements.
However, these words made Tsunade, standing to the side, widen her eyes. When the others were not paying attention, she glared fiercely at Hyuga Mirai.
As if she had volunteered. It was clearly this bastard who had tricked and threatened her, even recording a video. Only then did she have no choice but to agree.
"Where do you think we should go? In terms of familiarity with the Federation, no one should know it better than you, so I'd like to hear your opinion."
Senju Tobirama said calmly. He still felt somewhat displeased with Hyuga Mirai. Anyone who had been used like a slave for several years would react this way. If not for Senju Hashirama's persuasion and Tsunade's happiness, he would not have let it go so easily.
Besides, he was not someone who could stay idle. After being revived, his energy was at its peak. If he did nothing, Senju Tobirama would eventually feel stifled.
"Other than the leader, governors are the highest authority in the Federation. The Land of Earth, which has just been merged, has been divided into two states due to its backward economy and small population. After you become familiar with Federation administration, go there."
After thinking for a moment, Hyuga Mirai made this suggestion to Senju Tobirama. This man was extremely capable. Only by placing him in a place like the Land of Earth could his abilities be fully utilized. If he were placed in the Land of Fire, the effect would be far too small.
"Alright, let's go with that. I'll change my name for now and get familiar with the Federation's way of doing things."
Senju Tobirama was quite satisfied. The position was already very high, and the chosen location suited him well, with plenty of room to act. As for the distance, it was no problem for him. With his current chakra reserves, he could return every day to rest.
Then Hyuga Mirai turned his head and asked the First Hokage, "First Hokage, what do you plan to—"
"Ah, my abilities can't compare to Tobirama's at all, and there's no rebellion in the shinobi world…" Senju Hashirama scratched his head. In truth, he wanted to say that he wished to travel around the shinobi world for a while, but whether it was Hyuga Mirai, Tsunade, or Tobirama, none of them seemed inclined to let him off.
After thinking for a moment, Senju Hashirama asked uncertainly, "What do you think I should do?"
What could he do? Hyuga Mirai honestly couldn't think of anything right away. In handling affairs, he was indeed inferior to Senju Tobirama. When the First Hokage had been Hokage, most matters had been handled by Tobirama.
"The Ministry of Agriculture. Hear me out first. It has nothing to do with farming. This department concerns the entire Federation's food production. The responsibility is quite heavy, arguably even more so than the medical department—"
Hyuga Mirai had just reached this point when Senju Tobirama and Tsunade had already made the decision.
Senju Tobirama said decisively, "The Ministry of Agriculture, then. Big brother, stop thinking about taking it easy. This time I won't help you handle things anymore."
"That's right, Grandpa. The Ministry of Agriculture concerns the entire Federation's food supply. If something goes wrong, tens of thousands of people could starve…"
Tsunade even frightened her grandfather from the side. She still remembered asking her grandfather for help back then, only for him to suddenly lift Edo Tensei and return to the Pure Land. This time, there would be no leaving. Even if he did leave, she could have Hyuga Mirai pull him back again.
"Don't worry, First Hokage," Hyuga Mirai comforted Senju Hashirama and said, "At the beginning, you won't be given such a heavy burden. And if there's anything you don't understand, just ask Tsunade. She's quite familiar with many administrative matters, just a bit lazy."
When the Land of Fire joined the Federation and completed its overall reform, it had been Tsunade who made it happen. But not long after it was completed, Tsunade directly quit and ran off. Although she was later tricked by Hyuga Mirai into the medical department, she still didn't put in much effort.
If Hyuga Mirai hadn't seized an opportunity in the Pure Land this time, he would have had quite a headache. After all, the abilities of Nohara Rin, Shizune, and Kimura were still far behind Tsunade's.
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Senju Hashirama sighed. He was being forced into the position, and given the importance of the Ministry of Agriculture, there would be no chance to slack off in the future.
After settling the matters of the Senju brothers, Hyuga Mirai used Yomotsu Hirasaka to send everyone here back.
He then sealed the Gate of the Pure Land. Now that he had the gray crystal, Hyuga Mirai could enter the Pure Land space anytime, anywhere.
He also reminded Hinata to come see him in a few days.
Hyuga Hinata was the most suitable person to manage the Pure Land space. After he thoroughly researched the formation and energy of the Pure Land space, he would hand the gray crystal over to Hyuga Hinata. Of course, he would first completely eliminate the threatening "gods" inside.
The threats to the shinobi world had basically all been resolved. Next, as long as the Federation officials focused on construction and development, Hyuga Mirai could enjoy a period of very relaxed and comfortable life.
Every day would be spent either on research experiments or accompanying his family.
He now had a lifespan of over a thousand years. Even if he spent a hundred years on experiments and family, it would be enough for Hyuga Mirai to complete another evolution of his life level.
The matter of the Gate of the Pure Land did not affect any civilians, because it was quickly resolved by Hyuga Mirai. Not a single spirit managed to escape.
"That's the situation. Hinata, are you willing to take over the Pure Land space?"
Hyuga Mirai called Hyuga Hinata to his home and asked her. The Pure Land space was constructed using ancient Yin-Yang techniques, and among them, only Hinata was most familiar with the study of Yin-Yang techniques. Although Hyuga Mirai had collected all Yin-Yang techniques, he did not have time to look through them yet.
What he had most in hand right now was still the improvement and cultivation of the God Tree.
After a brief moment of thought, Hyuga Hinata agreed immediately. "I'm willing. Thank you, Mirai-sama. I'm also very curious about the structure and operation of the Pure Land space."
"In that case, after I do some research, I'll give it to you. Or you can enter together with me then. I remember that Yin-Yang techniques include methods to summon shikigami."
After hearing Hyuga Mirai's words, Hyuga Hinata nodded and said, "That's true. Then I'll be in your care, Mirai-sama."
"No need to be so polite. After all, your abilities are also very useful to me."
Just as Hyuga Mirai finished speaking, he was knocked on the head by Kiyo Hyuga, who had come over carrying tea. She then scolded him, "Why didn't you speak as fellow clan members…"
After scolding Hyuga Mirai, Kiyo Hyuga turned to Hyuga Hinata and asked with slightly furrowed brows, "Hinata, don't you plan to go back and take a look? Speaking of it, the past matters shouldn't have implicated you at all, and Hanabi, she…"
"Forget it, Kiyo. Let Hinata decide for herself."
Hyuga Mirai advised from the side. He had never liked to interfere in family matters. Moreover, Hyuga Hinata's situation was very complex. Natural energy could influence emotions. Although it didn't show on the surface, Hyuga Mirai could still sense that she carried very strong auras of both Snake Sage Mode and Toad Sage Mode.
After hearing Hyuga Mirai's words, Kiyo Hyuga said no more. In certain matters, as long as Hyuga Mirai had made a decision, she would still prioritize his opinion.
After Hyuga Hinata left, the Pure Land incident was considered completely concluded.
However, seeing Kiyo Hyuga still tidying up by herself, Hyuga Mirai couldn't help but think that he needed to quickly find a suitable housekeeper.
That day, Hyuga Mirai rarely stayed out of the laboratory and instead spent some time at home with the children. However, Mio had far too much energy. After waking Yuto up twice from the noise, Mio finally pouted and felt a trace of sleepiness, and was eventually coaxed to sleep by Hyuga Mirai.
At night, there were monitoring machine assistants. If any special accident occurred, Hyuga Mirai and Kiyo and the others would receive an alert. So sometimes they felt at ease letting Mio and Yuto sleep on their own.
"Phew, soothing two kids is really tiring. Tomorrow I'll go find a suitable housekeeper."
Hyuga Mirai stretched lazily. Hearing this, Kiyo Hyuga, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, said irritably, "It's been less than two hours. You're being far too casual as a father. The total time you've held the children isn't even three days."
"Of course. All the time is spent holding the children's mother, so Mio and Yuto will just have to suffer a bit," Hyuga Mirai said seriously as he sat down beside Kiyo Hyuga, quietly reaching his hand over.
"Don't fool around, I'm watching a drama!"
Kiyo Hyuga noticed the hand at her waist. Her face flushed slightly as she reached out and slapped it away. Remembering what she had promised in the Pure Land, she immediately used the TV drama as an excuse.
"This one? There's a replay tomorrow morning. If that doesn't work, I can have the TV station send you the recording."
After glancing at the TV, Hyuga Mirai said this to Kiyo Hyuga. Her excuse was far too flimsy. They were the most powerful family in the Federation. Even writing a script and having someone film it would be easy.
"That still won't do." Kiyo Hyuga said with a red face, seriously making excuses. "Only a drama you follow is better. Tomorrow morning I might even discuss it with Mikoto and the others. Y-you, what are you doing…"
"Miss Kiyo who's making excuses is really cute!"
"Idiot, put me down!" Kiyo Hyuga was suddenly lifted up. She let out an inadvertent soft cry, followed by weak resistance. "Your head is full of filthy thoughts, idiot, Hyuga Mirai!"
Although her scolding continued, Kiyo Hyuga's long, slender legs obediently rested on Hyuga Mirai's arms. After being carried into the room by him, her voice abruptly stopped.
The next morning, Hyuga Mirai woke up refreshed and went out to buy breakfast. He also took the initiative to feed the children. It wasn't until noon that he was kicked out of the house by Kiyo Hyuga, after which he went to the laboratory.
Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama both concealed the Senju surname, changed their appearance, and joined the Federation. Now, aside from Hyuga Mirai's family, the only one in the entire Federation who knew these people had been revived was Kushina Uzumaki.
After all, Kushina had also been very close to Uzumaki Mito. When Uzumaki Mito learned of what Danzo had done to Kushina, she was furious. After returning, she found an opportunity to scold Senju Tobirama harshly. Senju Tobirama could only endure it silently. He could sternly reprimand his elder brother, but toward sister-in-law Mito, he was extremely respectful. Even when scolded by her, he could only curse Danzo silently in his heart.
"At one time, three God Tree fruits will mature. However, even a Sage Body can't fully withstand the improved God Tree fruit. Three people sharing one fruit would be about right."
After seeing the data analysis of the improved God Tree, Hyuga Mirai thought silently. God Tree fruits that directly absorbed stellar energy were far more violent than those that absorbed natural energy, and the risk of consumption was also much greater.
Back then, Kaguya nearly lost control of the energy in her body after consuming the chakra fruit. In the end, she created two children from the excess chakra before things settled. The new God Tree fruit improved by Hyuga Mirai was far more powerful than the chakra fruit Kaguya had consumed back then, and the effects and dangers after consumption were also significant.
Whether in terms of life level or chakra, Hyuga Mirai was the strongest in the shinobi world. If it was still dangerous for him to consume it, others wouldn't even need to consider it.
For safety's sake, Hyuga Mirai chose to consume the God Tree fruit within the Origin Ball space.
A few seconds after the fruit entered his stomach, Hyuga Mirai felt an incomparably vast energy explode within his body. Even though he had prepared in advance, he immediately transformed into the complete Otsutsuki form. Even the nine tomoe in the Rinnegan on his forehead began spinning rapidly.
The energy of the God Tree fruit was quickly absorbed into Hyuga Mirai's body, altering every muscle, organ, blood vessel, bone, and cell. Without him noticing, the two horns on his head slowly retracted, and the magatama Sage robe on his body gradually disappeared. The magatama patterns transformed into flame-like markings that seemed to represent the blazing sun.
To digest this God Tree fruit, Hyuga Mirai stayed in the Origin Ball space for a full three days.
On the fourth day, Hyuga Mirai finally opened his eyes. They were still the deep blue of the Tenseigan, but they seemed to flash with a hint of golden light.
"Too amazing, too powerful."
Hyuga Mirai looked at his fist, then threw a punch forward. Instantly, a violent wind like a natural disaster erupted ahead, and the ground of the Origin Ball space was blasted into a pit four to five kilometers wide by that single punch.
This was purely his physical strength, without using any chakra.
"My life level also seems to be slowly increasing. There's no need to deliberately get used to the strength, but how much it has increased will require specific research. It's just a pity that the seedling separated from the mother tree can only bear three fruits at most."
When Hyuga Mirai obtained the God Tree fruit, the God Tree had already withered. He would have to wait until new seedlings were cloned before continuing cultivation.
"Tsunade, I brought you some good news. Regarding Otsutsuki Isshiki's matter, have you—"
Before Hyuga Mirai could finish speaking, Tsunade grabbed him by the neck, and he was met with a face full of resentment.
"Have you finally agreed to my resignation?"
"That's not it. Impossible! Don't even think about it! If you dare to sneak away, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"
As soon as Hyuga Mirai heard Tsunade mention quitting, he immediately changed his expression and threatened her, pulling up the video from back then and repeatedly playing it in front of her.
"Then there's no good news. Let's die together, you bastard!"
After seeing that Pure Land video again, Tsunade was instantly filled with shame and anger. She forcefully shoved Hyuga Mirai backward. Hyuga Mirai hadn't expected Tsunade to use such force. Moreover, after leaving the Origin Ball space, he had restrained his powerful life traits. Otherwise, the first ones to feel discomfort would have been those around him. Now, the "life signal" he unintentionally leaked carried both a powerful attraction and a powerful pressure for anyone below the Six Paths level.
Bang!
Tsunade directly pushed Hyuga Mirai to the ground and pressed herself on top of him. Although this was an extremely low-probability accident, Tsunade ended up tightly pressed against Hyuga Mirai once again.
