*Swoosh!*
"You will have to come with me, Fenrir!" the woman said with an excited expression beside her wolf-like dog that was nervously looking at me.
[Picture]
The dog was shaking all over as it looked at me submissively. Trying hard not to flee.
We were some distance away from the Hokage building. The clan heads had already left one by one, but the Hokage and the advisers were still inside. I also didn't know where my friends were
They passed out during the clash between my Hado and the chakras but I knew they were somewhere in some infirmary, with Yuji for sure just taking his time sleeping on some bed.
"What do you want, Inuzuka-san?" Tsunade asked the woman with narrowed eyes while hugging my arm and pressing her still-growing (unbelievable) chest on it.
"I need Fenrir to come with me!" she cried as she pointed at me with her excited expression still on.
Ok, so I don't really know what the deal is with this woman. From the moment she laid her eyes on me during the meeting, she quickly became restless, and through my nose, I could smell some of her hormones becoming active in her lower part, which really weirded me out.
Her constant staring and blushing face was sus as fuck, but I was also curious about what was going on though.
"His name is Garou, and why do you want him?" Tsunade asked again with a defensive tone, which was... cute.
She is possessive like that, isn't that cool? How many of you got a girl like that? None.
"Yeah, I'm busy right now. Why do you want me to come with you?" I asked nonchalantly as I looked at her.
I was really busy now and couldn't waste time on useless things. I needed to visit Mito and ask her to make me some stuff using her voodoo shit. After that, I need to accelerate some plans regarding the land of fire as a whole, then prepare for my journey, store every single thing in my clan's secret library to read on my journey, get familiar with the history of the Elemental Nations and the different fighting styles of ninjas across the globe.
In this journey of maybe 4 years, I must become cosmic. That's non-negotiable.
I can feel it, just once or twice, if I trigger my reactive evolution, then 20 years of progress will happen in seconds. I just need to be in a circumstance to trigger that, and I know where to find it.
"Ohh, you will know when you come to my clan. I just need you to come!" she said without revealing much of her intentions.
I could go with her, but I could feel her aura and some of her emotions and already knew what kind of person she was. So even though my gut feelings said it was okay to go, her emotions were suspicious as hell, and I wasn't ready to deal with unnecessary shit at this moment.
"Is it business regarding me and my clan?" I asked as I looked at her hazel eyes.
*Nod nod nod nod!*
"Yes, yes!" she replied excitedly with multiple nods.
After her answer, I looked around us. Even though not much, there were still around eighty ninjas stationed, and some few were eavesdropping on our conversation.
The fact that their numbers were more than usual for those spies that were on my tail just showed that they meant no nonsense anymore.
This is one of the reasons that I needed to see Mito quickly and deal with this matter.
Hiruzen and Danzo won't hold back anymore. And I just know how to fuck with any plan they may have because I have already guessed what they will do. I just need to not let it happen ahead of time.
"I would like to go with you, but I have to decline as I have some business to attend to." I said, which made her deflate and become sad like a lost puppy who got reprimanded by her owner, which made me raise an eyebrow at this.
"Then will you come after your business is finished?" she asked in a sad tone.
"Well, I don't see why not!" I replied with a hand on my chin.
"Great! Then we will prepare for your arrival!" she cried and, without letting me answer, afraid that I would change my mind, she blurred away.
*Pinch!*
"Hmm? What's up?" I asked as I looked at the glaring angel who pinched my side.
"What's that all about?" she asked with a frown.
"Jealous?" I asked back with a smirk.
"Hmm, not really, but don't get too close to her!" she said with a frown as she tightened her hug on my arm.
She is jealous. Cute.
"Yeah, yeah, just let's go and meet your grandma. I have too much work to do today, and I'm sure those clan heads will start to annoy me and send invitations or come to meet me after the stunt I pulled in the meeting," I said, and she nodded. Then we started to head towards the Senju compound.
We looked around, taking in the active sight of the village, and sometimes stopped to buy things for myself and Tsunade, then went around to eat or do other things amidst the different emotional stares we got from people around us.
I also noticed that most of the crowd was disoriented, and many ninjas were checking on people for any abnormalities that were probably caused by the combined pressure of the powerful people of this village.
It was amusing to say the least and made me realize just how fragile these mere humans are to get this stirred up because of some weak pressure.
"Mere humans? When did my vocabulary become this... fucked up?" I muttered to myself with suspicion because it wasn't everyday when you realise that you are looking down on some... species? For no reason.
"You said something?" Tsunade tilted her head.
"It was nothing. Just going through the my list of to do things." I replied and she nodded.
'Guess it's all because of this.' I thought as I looked at my status window. Specifically the race part...
[Monster %95 Human %5]
.
*Step, step, step.*
As we walked, "I didn't know that you could do that," Tsunade suddenly said as we got near her clan mansion, where Mito currently was residing.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well, even though I am very curious, like everyone else, about that power you showed in the meeting, I won't pry into a matter you are not ready to tell me, just like I promised. But... even though powerful, you are still not strong enough to be a Kage." she said with narrowed eyes.
"Was that meant to be a compliment or an insult? Are you still trying to make me stay?" I said.
"Hmph! Depends on how you interpret it," she said with a huff as she crossed her arms.
"Look Tsunade, I know how you feel. If I were you, I would also feel like shit if I knew that my husband is leaving for a long period of time. But me leaving is absolutely necessary for me, our business, and our future."
"..."
*Pat.*
I patted her head gently much to her embarrassment. "This world is cruel and dangerous. When I come back from my journey, I promise to take you to the sky and any impossible wish that you may have, I will make it a reality. Believe me, it will be as easy as a snap of my fingers. I will be that strong." I said with arrogance and confidence because it's true.
In my Cosmic form, even time travel is an easy feat. I would basically become the genie from Aladin.
Tsunade only glanced at me with doubt, "I hate it. I hate that you will have to leave for that long. But be damn ready because even if I wanted to time travel, you will do it for me and serve me until I get satisfied." She said as she also fantasised about extorting me from all my money to gamble.
"I will even beat Goku for you my angel." I said with a gentle smile.
"Who?" She asked with confusion.
"Nothing, let's just get inside." I said as we already reached our destination.
*Criek.*
She opened the door to her mansion in the Senju compound and together, we made our way towards Mito's room. "You sure you could achieve that kind of power or are you just being overconfident?" she asked me with a frown, which made me smirk.
"For now, just know this... I don't have any kind of incurable disease like what's written in wherever the ninjas and you get the information from. My case is something beyond your imagination. One day you will know what I mean and I am sure you will be very surprised." I said.
"Well, I figured that out myself already and checked your body for as much as I could when we had that cursed sex last night, which was a surprise, as I found out your body functions differently than normal people! Like what do you mean your muscles are like fabrics made of steel? It doesn't make sense." she said with a thoughtful look and started to murmur about some theory or whatever, which made my eye twitch for a second, but I remained silent until we entered Mito's room and saw her busy writing something on a red book.
"You are already here!" she calmly said without lifting her head to look at us.
"Yes, Grandma. Garou wanted to be here, and I will be out. I know, you don't need to tell," Tsunade said and got out of the room without Mito telling her to. This was normal, as every time I came here for something, she would kick out Tsunade.
"I will see you at home!" I said to her with an ominous smirk before she went out of the door, which sent a shiver down her spine and made her quickly run out of the door in a hurry.
I turned and looked back at Mito, who looked at Tsunade's departing figure with amusement. "Ara~ara, hope you are treating her well," she said with a kind smile and put away her book somewhere with a puff.
"Hmph, as if you are not spying on me all the time to know what's going on yourself!" I replied with annoyance.
"Hmm, are you accusing me of being a perverted stalker?" she asked with a smile.
"Look, I trust my senses too much, you see, and that tingling feeling in my guts of being watched constantly doesn't go away. And I know for a fact the feeling wasn't caused by the ninjas who were watching me from time to time. Hell, even when I was shitting in the toilet–" I went on about it until she interrupted me.
"Okay enough, for what reason are you here?" she asked with an ominous smile, trying to divert this important topic, which made me feel like punching the hell out of her.
Can't a man have his own privacy for a fucking second? I have to cover my lower part every time I do some shitting so this woman won't stare at my damn 10-inch dick from all the way here like a creep.
Like what do you mean she can see from close to 50 kilometers
"Changing topic, huh? Well, anyways, I need a new seal I want you to create for me." I said with my arms crossed.
Mito raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what might that seal be?"
I met her gaze squarely. "I need a seal. A slave effect seal basically, similar to what Danzo uses for his Root agents to keep information secret. But I need it to be stronger and I want it to fuse with the blood of the person it's placed on. It should also ensure loyalty, or at the very least, make it impossible for them to betray me."
Mito's expression remained neutral, but her eyes sharpened with interest. "That is... a very specific request. And who is this seal for?"
"That's not important right now," I replied. "What matters is whether you can create it."
She studied me for a long moment, her fingers tapping against the table. "I can," she said slowly. "But such a seal is dangerous. It requires a deep connection to the target's body and soul. And if it's broken or tampered with, it could kill the person."
"It doesn't matter. Consequences be damned. The seal isn't for me anyways." I said without hesitation.
Mito tilted her head. "Why you would need such a thing? What could you possibly gain from enslaving someone?"
The truth was, I had been thinking about this since my fight with Tsunade in that forest.
There was a certain individual who would eventually become a danger to everyone around him.
In the original timeline, he would experiment on children and countless people, betray his village, and commit atrocities that would make even the most hardened ninja sick.
I had originally planned to simply kill him. It would have been easy, especially at this moment when the man isn't in his prime. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that killing him would be a waste.
I hate ninjas, but after years of dealings, business, and bullshit like that, my mindset has shifted towards profit and what could serve me best.
Ninjas are disgusting and I feel repulsed when in their presence, sure, but that doesn't mean they can't serve my agenda and bring me good stuff.
Now, the mind of this man was too valuable. His knowledge, his research, his ability to push the boundaries of science and technology... these could be turned into assets rather than threats.
If I could secure his loyalty, and if I could prevent him from ever becoming the Jeffry Epstein on steroids he was destined to be, then I would have access to advancements that could revolutionize medicine, weaponry, and even the very nature of power in this world.
He could create things that no one else could even imagine. He could be the key to building an empire that would outlast everyone.
And I knew how to attract the attention of that man. My monster cells and immortality, which I could grant... maybe.
But I couldn't risk him turning on me and I couldn't risk him betraying me the moment he saw an opportunity, because at the end of it, he is a ninja and ninjas are fickle and greedy.
So I needed insurance and a guarantee.
"Let's just say," I replied slowly, "that there is someone whose talents are too valuable to waste, but whose nature is too dangerous to trust. I want to use his mind without having to watch my back every second."
Mito's eyes gleamed with understanding. "Oh~ you mean Orochimaru. Be careful then. I know little of the future, but I know enough to know that he isn't someone easy to kill and is very dangerous."
"Yes. A damned cockroach. That's what he is." I nodded.
She was silent for a long moment, then nodded. "I'll create the seal for you, but it will take time. A month, maybe less because I already have many different blueprints for such seals, I just need to tweak some parts and it will be done."
"Then perfect, I will be waiting." I nodded and turned around to leave.
*Step, step.*
I walked and was about to open the door to go out...
"Interesting ability you have, to turn any living beings into Monsters," she suddenly said, and I paused as I turned my head slightly to glance at her coldly.
"So? You already know about it for a long time, so why ask?" I said calmly.
"Nothing, just curious about it," she replied calmly, but I could feel something in her tone.
"Curious enough to want me to turn you into a Monster?" I asked with my eyes narrowed.

____________
Same time Konoha on top a rooftop/
High above the bustling streets, hidden in the shadows of a chimney, a small toad sat motionless. His skin was mottled brown and green, blending perfectly with the weathered tiles. His eyes, large and unblinking, scanned the village below.
The little toad's mission was simple... observe and report.
Something had been nagging at the Old Sage's mind ever since that terrible prophecy. The future was shifting and every Toad around the world were investigating and were vigilant while searching for those... two.
Since Jiraiya hasn't found anything about those... two... for a long time, the Great Toad Sage became restless and sent every single toad in Mount Myōboku outside to search for those... two.
The Toad has been observing Konoha for a week now. The ever expanding Heaven's Feel district with its sprawling restaurants and bustling crowds, was unlike anything that had existed in Konoha before.
The flow of money and political power had shifted greatly throughout these years. And the village wasn't supposed be like this at all.
And at the center of it all was the one they called Garou, some great guy or whatnot.
The toad had seen him leave the Hokage tower earlier and had seen the Inuzuka woman approach him, her posture submissive like her dog despite her bold words.
Then the Toad had seen Tsunade, the princess of the Senju, clinging to his arm like a lovesick girl.
These developments were not the Konoha of the prophecy the Great Toad Sage always talked to them about.
So it didn't take long connecting the dots.
The changes in Konoha's political landscape. The rise of Heaven's Feel. The strange oppressive power that Garou had displayed in the meeting hall. And the words of the Great Toad Sage describing the two apocalyptic beings who would one day destroy the world.
Now that he looked at that ominous and otherworldly energy surrounding Garou, a chill ran down the toad's spine.
'It's HIM without a doubt! The one responsible for these changes in the timeline!' The toad thought, his small heart pounding.
He is one of them! One of the two Gods of destruction for sure!
The toad's body trembled with fear. He had to tell the Great Toad Sage asap!
Without hesitation, he performed the reverse summoning technique, and with a puff of smoke, he vanished, reappearing in the quiet chambers of Mount Myōboku.
.
The toad was panting, his eyes wide with terror as he looked up at the Great Toad Sage, who was already awake and watching him with a grave expression as he already knew that news arrived at last.
"Great Toad Sage!" The toad gasped. "I have found him! One of the Gods! I have found him!"
And the room fell into a heavy, fearful silence.
The End.
