"Lord Swain, the connection with Konoha's sacred ground is complete!"
From Swain's third eye, Namikaze Minato brought good news.
Swain was overjoyed. After so long, the first step in connecting the worlds was finally done.
With a complete world spirit, and one as skilled in space Ninjutsu as Namikaze Minato, everything was progressing slowly and smoothly.
"Minato, don't you miss Naruto?"
Namikaze Minato still smiled, a little sadly. "Of course, I want to see Naruto and Kushina. If I had a large Ninjutsu during the Nine Tails' attack, I wouldn't have lost."
Swain shook his head with a smile. "That's not really true. You should have felt that I fought six Shadow-level opponents that day, right? There were at least two more hidden in the shadows. At the time, Danzo wouldn't help, and the clans were protecting themselves. Your sacrifice was unavoidable."
Namikaze Minato's eyes dimmed. "There's nothing I could do. Actually, knowing that Naruto is doing well under your care is enough for me."
Everything came down to strength. If he had been Senju Hashirama, none of this would have happened.
"Don't force some things, but actually, you can look forward to being brought back to life. Now that the first step of connection is complete, you can go wander around the ninja world.
If you work hard to connect the entire ninja world sooner, then I can help you revive Kushina."
After all, Minato wasn't his original spirit. Even though he was loyal, giving him a reward would make him work even better.
As expected, Namikaze Minato's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing that. Kushina was his true love.
"Really? Then can I go see Naruto?"
"You can. I'll let you out in a little while. Shisui has returned to the village, so Naruto should be there too."
"Thank you, Lord Swain!"
Swain's third eye didn't have a name, so Swain named it Daqian (Great World).
The function of this eye can be described as both simple and all-powerful.
From the moment it was created, it had been quietly absorbing the ninja world and merging it with the world within the eye.
Swain was the true master of this world, able to create things out of thin air and create new life.
But he couldn't do it yet because his own strength wasn't high enough.
But things like Nagato's Six Paths abilities, Uchiha Madara's Limbo, or even Heavenly Obstacle Star Destruction and so on.
Could be easily done in the Hokage world.
And also, Rebirth.
And Swain had a feeling that once he had perfectly absorbed the ninja world, a new world would pull him in.
And that feeling was getting stronger and stronger as he got stronger.
Swain was like a parasite, using the ninja world as a source. He would never run out of Chakra again.
Even though he didn't lack it himself.
He hadn't used the skills of his left and right eyes in a long time.
There was still a corpse stored in his right eye, which he had originally kept as a way to turn the tables, but now it was just to reduce trouble.
Autumn had arrived, and the weather was a little cold.
Looking at the full moon in the sky, Swain missed his hometown, that world full of gods and Buddhas and time travelers.
He thought of the grumpy but kind owner of the fried skewer shop downstairs, and the girl he had never dared to confess to.
"Looking at the moon again, wondering if it's round?"
"No, I was just thinking, if I put the entire ninja world into my eye, would your mom be confused when she's brought back to life?"
Ootsuki Hagoromo's face darkened. "That's also your grandmother, watch your mouth."
"Yes, my grandmother is a rabbit. Do you know much about the Ootsuki clan?"
Ootsuki Hagoromo smiled confidently. The bleak evening wind made him look three times as handsome. "Everyone has Six Paths, above the ninja world I fear no foreign enemies."
"Is that so? Then I don't have to worry. After Black Zetsu catches the tailed beasts, I immediately steal them to enrich the sacred ground, then turn you into a Divine Tree to speed up the merging. Then I'll be perfect." Swain chuckled.
Ootsuki Hagoromo was a little reluctant. "Why don't you take it slow? I think I can still be saved."
"I'm just kidding. You're not important to me. The world spirit gave me a feeling that the Divine Tree pulled the roots of the ninja world, so the subconscious of the ninja world is also helping me.
Taking a little fleece from the last tailed beast is enough."
"That Fourth Hokage brat?"
"No, it's the one I discovered before. Actually, you already knew, didn't you?"
Ootsuki Hagoromo smiled noncommittally.
Of course.
Suddenly, Ootsuki smiled mischievously. "Your old lover has arrived, I'll leave first."
"Huh? Old lover?"
As soon as he activated Imperial Vision, he saw a girl in a swimsuit controlling a white puppet, heading straight for him.
She was also shouting something like "Lord Swain!"
"Crap! Why didn't you say so sooner!"
Bang!
Swain spread his wings wide and flew in the opposite direction of Chiyo with all his might.
But then he heard a whoosh!
A cute and handsome face appeared in front of Swain, also holding a cute little girl.
"Shisui! Screw you! You're cheating me!"
Damn it, this traitor, actually helping outsiders.
"Lord Swain, thank you for sending Sasori back to the village! I knew you hadn't forgotten me!"
"Grandma Chiyo, please have some self-respect! I'm innocent!"
It had to be said that Chiyo's swimsuit look when she was young was indeed very tempting, but Swain had Sharingan. With a casual scan, he saw the original appearance under the Transformation Technique.
Swain almost threw up, his goosebumps turned into feathers, and they fell all over the ground.
"Thirty years, and you still won't let me go, Chiyo?!"
"Lord Swain, how can you say that! This slave even wore the clothes you gave me! Don't you like them?"
The more Swain looked, the more disgusted he became... not that he was discriminating against age, but this...
Damn it, I can't take it anymore!
"Sage Art! Rebirth!"
A stream of pure life force came from Swain's Daqian and entered Chiyo's body.
The wrinkles on her skin began to disappear, the missing front teeth began to grow back, the dry hair slowly grew, and the hunched body straightened up like a seedling meeting spring rain.
This was no longer a Transformation Technique!
"Sage Art: Edo Tensei! Reto! You damn take this thing away!"
Grandma Chiyo's husband was Reto, the First Kazekage. Actually, Swain's appearance was just a coincidence. He could only blame himself for liking older women, digging the Kazekage's wall, and suffering the consequences.
Fortunately, he was now connected to the ninja world, and could get people from the Pure Land without needing genes.
"Rebirth!"
Swain would rather give Sunagakure Village another Kazekage, rather than have Chiyo keep pestering him.
Reto, who was in a state of revival, looked at Chiyo in disbelief.
"Chiyo! You died too?!"
"You're the one who died! I'm living a good life. Quickly thank Lord Swain!"
Her husband was revived, but she only saw Swain, what a mess.
"Swain? I don't remember, but you're so strong! Even Senju Hashirama can't compare to you!"
Reto was amazed by the aura of the person in front of him. Reviving someone didn't even make him pant, and there wasn't even the slightest decrease in Chakra in his body.
Too scary.
"Reto, you don't remember me, do you? It's okay, as long as you take your wife away, I won't kill you a second time, get out of here!"
"Yes, sir!" Reto was afraid of the aura released by Swain, and used Chakra threads to take the Near-Martial Ten Puppets from Chiyo's hand, tied up the Third Kazekage, and headed towards Sunagakure Village.
"Lord Swain!!!"
Having been made younger, Chiyo seemed to have even more of a maiden's feelings.
"Minato... I owe you one this time."
He was about to go to a new world, and Chiyo didn't seem so scary anymore... That's right, he was about to leave here, what was there to worry about?
The missing piece of his mind was made whole, and his state of mind was perfect.
The shadow disappeared.
