*Konoha, Hokage's Office.*
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat with his pipe clenched between his teeth, his face clouded with worry as he remained silent.
"At this point, there's nothing left to say. Danzō has completely lost his mind!" Utatane Koharu, standing to his left, spat out coldly, her voice sharp with fury. "Daring to kill the Hokage's personal ANBU and then deserting the village? This is the ultimate betrayal of Konoha!"
"Calm down, Koharu," Homura Mitokado tried to soothe his old friend, speaking softly. "Perhaps... Danzō had his reasons?"
"Oh? And what reasons would those be?" Koharu shot him a sideways glare, unconvinced. "Was someone forcing him to kill? Forcing him to defect? Who could possibly have that kind of power—you? Or maybe Hiruzen here?"
Homura instantly shut up, his eyes darting toward Hiruzen in silent plea.
"Enough," Hiruzen exhaled, rubbing his temples. "I've already sent a capable shinobi to investigate his residence."
Knock, knock, knock.
A rhythmic tapping sounded at the door.
"Come in, Yuto."
"Yes."
Yuto, dressed in a white coat, stepped inside. He politely greeted everyone present before adopting a solemn expression. "Lord Hokage, we've uncovered traces of Elder Danzō's whereabouts."
"He's no longer an elder. Drop the honorifics," Koharu interjected sharply.
"Report your findings," Hiruzen sighed, massaging his forehead.
[Choose.]
Just as Yuto was about to present the evidence of Danzō and Orochimaru's collusion, the option screen popped up.
[1. Present photographic evidence of Orochimaru using the "Moral Expansion Jutsu" alongside Danzō!]
[2. Present photographic evidence of Danzō using the "Moral Expansion Jutsu" alongside Orochimaru!]
'You've got to be kidding me…'
Yuto's eye twitched. These two options were practically identical in effect!
In terms of sheer, eye-searing horror, they were equally disastrous.
But if he had to pick, Orochimaru's version was definitely the more memorable one.
With the decision made, Yuto pulled out a photo and handed it to Hiruzen.
Silence.
Staring at the image of Orochimaru—whose proportions (boobs) had been exaggerated to near-inhuman levels—Hiruzen's eyes bulged. "Th-They actually…"
And he wasn't the only one. Koharu and Homura both sucked in sharp breaths beside him.
Honestly, their reactions were justified. The sheer visual impact of the photo was staggering.
Orochimaru, with his absurdly enhanced assets, was clad in a scandalously avant-garde swimsuit, vast stretches of pale skin on display. If not for the head, the image alone could've made even an octogenarian snap to attention.
And then there was Danzō, right beside him, wearing nothing but floral-print boxers, his neck and face covered in lipstick marks.
"So this is how those two got together?" Homura muttered in disbelief, removing his glasses with trembling hands. "So Danzō's infamous 'Global Shinobi Moral Expansion Project' already had successful test subjects!"
"Putting aside the... disturbing nature of this photo, their alliance is no laughing matter," Koharu said grimly, her voice low. "Hiruzen, issue the bounty. We can't let Danzō roam free any longer. He's completely betrayed our ideals and the village!"
[Congratulations! You have obtained 40 years' worth of chakra energy.]
Glancing at the reward prompt, Yuto completely ignored the ensuing debate among Konoha's elders and casually strolled out of the Hokage's office.
*Konoha, Underground Hideout.*
Yuto stood before two containment pods, his expression uncharacteristically tense.
Inside, Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina were undergoing Hollowfication.
Their bodies were encased in a milky-white bone-like substance, their overwhelming spiritual pressure thrashing violently against the reinforced barriers. Even with Yuto's high-level seals in place, the energy refused to be contained.
Once their transformation was complete, their power would be terrifying—far surpassing even Shisui, currently Yuto's strongest subordinate.
But the process was agonizing.
The two women had to confront their deepest sorrows, hatreds, and regrets—enduring the torrent of negative emotions to achieve true ascension.
And that was what worried Yuto.
He knew they were strong, but… he couldn't help fearing the worst.
This was what it meant to care too much.
These two weren't just his lovers—they were family. The ones who had given him a true home in this world.
*Glug, glug.*
Just then the viscous white Hollow essence continued to rise, forming two massive cocoons around Kushina and Mikoto.
Yuto's expression grew even graver. The urgent beeping from his wrist communicator went entirely unnoticed.
Then—
*Crack.*
The cocoons split open.
Two flawless faces emerged, followed by slender necks, delicate collarbones, and—
Snap.
The containment seals shattered.
Before Yuto could even speak, a crimson and an onyx blur crashed into him, their warm, fragrant bodies pressing close.
No longer spectral, but real—soft, alive and intoxicating.
"Congratulations on your rebirth, you two" Yuto finally managed to say, after a long moment.
Swish.
Black and white dresses materialized over the women's figures, only enhancing their allure.
"Tch. Making decisions for us now?" Kushina tugged at her collar, smirking. "Back when we first met, you couldn't wait to strip us. Now that we want to be free, you're covering us up?"
"Public decency," Yuto coughed.
"There's no public here," Kushina scoffed. Then her eyes lit up with mischief. "Ohhh, I get it! Little Yuto's all bark and no bite now, huh? How sad~ Big Sis was finally gonna reward you properly, but you just can't—"
The sheer audacity of her teasing made Yuto's eye twitch again.
"Kushina, maybe tone it down a little," Mikoto murmured, though her lips curled. "We do have physical bodies now. If he really wanted to punish us… Well, you remember what happened to Tsunade, don't you?"
"Pfft! As if I'm scared!" Kushina promptly grabbed Yuto's face and kissed him hard.
When they parted, a silvery strand still connected them.
"Wait, nothing?!" Kushina pouted. "Does Hollowfication not count as being alive?"
"Probably not," Mikoto mused—before leaning in to test the theory herself.
Hssk—
A full-body shudder.
"HAH! Serves you right!" Kushina cackled.
