'What utter nonsense! I, the dignified Princess of Sunagakure, actually suffered such humiliation in Konoha!'
"Hah?"
Not only the Orochimaru disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, but even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had long known that the masked man was 'Uchiha Obito,' was shocked by Temari's words.
'That guy claiming to be Uchiha Madara/Obito actually has such a lecherous side?'
———
'So Asuma was being controlled by Danzo.'
After stirring up some trouble in Konoha and dealing with Orochimaru, Uchiha Kage finally arrived at his dream space.
He selected the option to enter the dream.
However, he hadn't expected that just as he started playing the role of Senju Tobirama to invade Danzo's dream, the other party clung to his thigh.
And even started crying and pouring out his grievances.
Like a bratty old child, Uchiha Kage really wanted to kick this guy away in disgust.
However, amidst Danzo's crying complaints, Uchiha Kage gradually pieced together the sequence of events—
Sarutobi Hiruzen, along with Uchiha Itachi, sealed off Danzo's Root, even took away Danzo's Shisui Mangekyou, and forbade Danzo from stepping outside.
"No wonder…", Uchiha Kage originally thought he'd have to recite a few classic Senju Tobirama lines to win Danzo's trust, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary.
Danzo was now utterly desperate.
The moment he appeared disguised as Senju Tobirama, Danzo clutched at him like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline, not even thinking to be suspicious, nor having the capacity to consider that Tobirama was just someone in disguise.
"Go look, I already expected that you and Hiruzen wouldn't get along, so I made a copy of the 'treasure' in advance. I put it at…"
He hadn't expected Danzo to lose so badly in his clash with Sarutobi Hiruzen. If no one stepped in now, Konoha might really fall under Hiruzen's dictatorship.
Uchiha Kage certainly wouldn't let Hiruzen have his way.
He wanted to ensure everyone had a "future."
———
"You're gentle again today."
Inside the bamboo forest hut.
Kaguya gently pressed Kage's face against her own delicate cheek.
Her gaze intoxicated, she used her skin to feel that warmth that made her heartstrings vibrate.
"But I really like how gentle your touch is…"
"That's good."
After spending so much time together, Uchiha Kage had already mastered the angle and strength that this Rabbit Goddess preferred when hugging.
Of course, being able to do this was also thanks to his body being enhanced once again due to the increase in [Action Points].
Sitting at the bedside, Uchiha Kage stroked Kaguya's snowy-white hair as she crouched before him, while admiring how her emotionless face uttered such infatuated words.
This contrast of an ice goddess appearance with a passionate inner self always made him unable to stop…
"Is it snowing today?"
Once his body completely relaxed, he finally noticed the large white snowflakes drifting outside the window.
"Mm… It's already winter outside, but for some reason, it always feels like spring inside this house. It's not cold at all."
As long as she returned to this bamboo hut, Kaguya would go from winter back to spring.
Not just psychologically, but physically as well.
"I think it's probably because my 'dream space' is connected with this hut, so the climate here has changed."
After all, in the dream space, as long as he didn't interfere manually, it would always feel like spring all year round.
"Really… mm…"
After lingering on Kage's face for a while, Kaguya turned to look at the snowy scenery outside the window.
But because someone behind her made her feel like there was a thorn in her back, she quickly lost interest in watching the snow.
Only when the warm, orchid-like breath was sprinkled on Uchiha Kage's solid chest did she feel a little lost in thought.
"Rather than watching snow, I'd rather watch the mountain sunrise with you."
Even though Uchiha Kage came every night to this bamboo hut to fill the loneliness in her heart,
Once dawn arrived, he would vanish again.
If only she could be with Kage day and night… how wonderful that would be.
Once a person had the present, they would want more of the future.
"That day will come," Uchiha Kage believed that one day he would personally take Kaguya out of this hut.
Even bring her to the Konoha a thousand years in the future.
"By the way, that day… when I was holding you, did you separate 'Zetsu' in advance? That black substance that emerged from your sleeve."
"I think so… At the time, I thought I would definitely be sealed, so I randomly used chakra to create something and threw it out."
At this point, Kaguya nervously propped herself up, her pure Byakugan staring into Uchiha Kage's expression.
"Did I cause you trouble?"
"Not really."
Uchiha Kage pulled the sitting-up Kaguya back into his embrace.
"I added mushrooms for you."
"Ah…"
Being teased so vividly by Uchiha Kage, Kaguya immediately fell silent.
"I'm thinking about a question."
"What question?"
Kaguya could no longer hold herself up for this guy's eye feast. She could only weakly half-close her eyes, hugging the still-vigorous man like a girl seeking a pillow.
"Hagoromo and Hamura… and Black Zetsu, are they all considered my sons?"
"No… I… I never even got pregnant…", Before Uchiha Kage broke through her, Kaguya didn't even know what childbirth was.
Hagoromo and Hamura's existence was merely because people worshiped the God Tree and her as divine beings, causing the God Tree to blossom and bear two children.
So she naturally became the mother of the two brothers.
"But in name… I suppose… yes…"
"Then…"
Here comes the question. Given that the Sage of Six Paths is her son, Asura and Indra are his sons, and Sasuke might be the reincarnation of Indra, and Kage himself is Sasuke's biological father…
So how should Sasuke address him?
"Kaguya?"
Just as Uchiha Kage wanted to continue speaking, he saw that Kaguya lying in his arms had already sweetly fallen asleep.
———
"So this is the treasure!"
'So that's how it is!'
After waking up, Danzo sneaked out of his house, then dug up the "treasure" left by "Senju Tobirama" in a hidden corner of Konoha Village.
Another "Future Diary".
"No wonder that guy Hiruzen's been pulling so many moves lately…"
After skimming a few pages of the "Future Diary," Danzo quickly understood Sarutobi Hiruzen's recent operations in the village.
"Such waste! What a waste!"
Thinking of this, the overjoyed Danzo stayed up late reading, carefully finishing the notebook in his hands.
Then unleashed even more furious accusations toward Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You're too conservative, Hiruzen. With a divine artifact like this, you still don't move forward. Such a spineless guy!"
'Still thinking of forming an alliance with Kirigakure?'
This diary not only recorded Sunagakure's movements, but also personnel from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure, plus the weaknesses of the signature jutsus that support each great shinobi village.
"With this encyclopedia to speedrun the ninja world, who needs alliances?"
If it were up to him, trash villages like Kirigakure should be dealt with along with Sunagakure.
By then, with the power of three major villages, Konoha could treat Iwagakure and Kumogakure like a siege battle.
Any way you looked at it, the advantage was Konoha's.
"And that cowardly guy Hiruzen… he's still only thinking about his own life at a time like this."
'Just because he is afraid of a future where Orochimaru kills him?'
'That's why he recalled Uchiha Itachi?'
'How shameful, Sarutobi Hiruzen!'
'You're truly unworthy of being Hokage!'
"Tobirama-sensei, now that you've given me the treasure, doesn't that mean you also regret your decision back then?"
After putting away the "Future Diary," Danzo asked into the empty courtyard alone.
Then his face suddenly twisted with fanaticism.
"Sensei, I will follow your will, take back the Hokage seat that should've been mine! And make Konoha the first and only great ninja village in the world!"
But the problem was, he was still under house arrest by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and most of Root's members were imprisoned…
How should he break this deadlock?
Soon.
After a moment of silent contemplation, Danzo's face once again twisted into a sinister grin.
He remembered the death of White Fang.
"This is all your fault, Hiruzen! Don't regret it later!"
That he'd ended up like this was all Sarutobi Hiruzen's doing.
Since the other party showed no sentiment, pressured him like this, even violating the teacher's last wish and secretly trying to hoard the treasure, then don't blame him for using even dirtier methods.
———
'Not enough, it's still not enough.'
After enjoying Kaguya's icy fire blend, Uchiha Kage then indulged in Mikoto's gentle and virtuous side.
The ninja world a thousand years ago was peaceful, and Konoha more than ten years ago was also tranquil.
But inside the dream space, Uchiha Kage felt quite troubled.
Tsunade in the Hokage building, Hinata in the Hyuga compound, newlywed Kurenai in the apartment, nurse Sakura in the hospital, Terumi Mei in the Mizukage's office…
