After entering the village, Ryōsuke thought about finding a place to stay for Konan and Zabuza first.
There wasn't much room left at home. Yugito Nii and Mabui lived in the same building as him.
There were only two buildings in total.
His grandfather lived in the other one.
If he added five more people into the mix, it would feel quite inconvenient.
He looked at Zabuza and said, "Since we've arrived in the Leaf Village, let's find a house for you."
Zabuza replied directly, "I'll pick one out myself."
After all, this was an unfamiliar village, and he wanted to choose a quieter house.
He never expected that one day he would become a resident of this village. Submitting to the God King naturally meant he was no longer a shinobi of the Mist Village.
That didn't matter to him, anyway.
His parents had died long ago in this turbulent shinobi world.
Being a ninja was, in truth, a highly dangerous profession.
If the God King could unify the shinobi world and establish order...
Wars would drastically decrease, perhaps even disappear entirely, and being a ninja would no longer be such a high-risk job.
Ryōsuke replied, "That's perfectly fine, of course. Let me know once you find a place."
With Zabuza's capabilities, finding his own home wouldn't be something Ryōsuke needed to worry about, nor did he need to bother himself with it.
Zabuza nodded and then took his leave.
Ryōsuke looked toward Konan. "I'll find a house for you. It will be your new home from now on."
Konan felt a strange sensation.
*Her own home?* Ever since Yahiko died, she had followed Nagato and seemingly never felt the warmth of a home again.
Yahiko had been their center. Now, this man refused to let her go.
He possessed an intense possessiveness over her, and she knew for a fact she couldn't escape. That was the lesson she had learned over the past day and night.
From now on, the Leaf Village would likely be where she stayed.
Meanwhile, Haku and Fū spoke up with anxious expressions.
"We don't want to live outside. We want to stay with the God King."
Only by staying with the God King could they feel a sense of security.
Based on the God King's words, it sounded like they were also going to live outside rather than inside the Uchiha Clan compound.
Looking at the two little ones, Ryōsuke could only say, "Alright, I'll take you home."
He could still clear out a room at home, which would be just right for these two.
He then looked at Kurotsuchi, pondering what to do with her.
He would have to let her grow up a bit first.
Noticing the God King's gaze, Kurotsuchi immediately said, "I want to stay with the God King too."
This was the perfect time to show her loyalty.
Ryōsuke agreed, "Alright, I'll take you home as well."
Kurotsuchi was still young too. The three of them could share a room; laying down three tatami mats would be more than enough space for them.
Looking at the trio, he planned to bring the three little girls back to the clan compound first.
He would visit his grandfather while he was at it, and then take Konan to look for a new house.
Before long, the five of them returned to the Uchiha Clan compound.
He needed to greet his grandfather first to put the old man's mind at ease.
After all, he had been away for quite a while.
When his grandfather saw his grandson return, he was naturally overjoyed.
He had even brought back three little girls and a young woman with blue hair.
A strange thought suddenly crossed his mind. *Are these three little girls Ryōsuke's women?*
*But they're so young.*
However, on second thought, that was impossible. No matter how much of a womanizer Ryōsuke was, he wouldn't go that far.
In truth, he didn't really mind Ryōsuke's philandering ways. It was perfectly normal for a man to love beautiful women, and having a few more great-grandchildren was a good thing.
Though, it seemed like there were quite a few now. He already had six, not to mention the six currently on the way.
Suddenly, another thought struck him. *Could these be Ryōsuke's children?*
*They're already so big. Did he father them outside the village?*
But thinking about it, that was highly unlikely too. The girls here were at least seven, eight, or nine years old. Ryōsuke would have only been around ten at the time.
*How could he possibly have fathered children back then?*
Confused, he asked, "Ryōsuke, who are these three little girls?"
Ryōsuke had no intention of hiding anything and replied directly, "Grandfather, this is Haku from the Mist Village, this is Fū from the Waterfall Village, and that one is Kurotsuchi from the Stone Village."
"Ah?"
His grandfather voiced his surprise. To think they were all from other villages!
"Ryōsuke, don't tell me you traveled across the entire shinobi world?"
Ryōsuke nodded and said, "That's right. I toured through more than half of the shinobi world on this trip outside the village. I saw that these three little girls had no family or friends, so naturally, I wanted to take them in."
"And this here is Konan."
"Come on, all of you, say hello to Grandfather."
The three little girls obediently called out to him as Grandfather. Konan felt incredibly helpless but could only follow suit and say, "Grandfather."
The Great Elder was utterly shocked.
To think that Ryōsuke had managed to abduct such a beautiful woman from the shinobi world and bring her back. He was truly capable.
He hurriedly went into the back room, brought out a box, and handed it directly to Konan.
"Good, good, good! From now on, you are a member of our Uchiha Clan. Here is a welcoming gift for you."
Since she had become his granddaughter-in-law, it was only natural to give her a welcoming gift.
Even though there hadn't been any formal wedding ceremony.
He didn't think that was important. Ryōsuke had so many women; if he had to hold a wedding ceremony for every single one of them, it would probably give him a massive headache.
He wasn't some old-fashioned fossil. He was someone who had lived through the chaos of the shinobi world's wars. Back then, there were no wedding ceremonies; you just drank a cup of sake and went straight into the bedroom.
What mattered was the reality of the relationship.
Given this boy Ryōsuke's god-like speed, he had a feeling this young woman might already be expecting. It looked like he was going to have yet another great-grandchild.
Konan had no choice but to accept it.
Not only had she become his woman today, but now she had also become a member of the Uchiha Clan. The rapid progression of events left her feeling a bit unaccustomed.
However, this was already her reality, and she didn't want to ruin the old man's good mood.
Standing to the side, Ryōsuke was extremely pleased. Since Konan had accepted the gift, it naturally meant she had acknowledged her status.
Things were looking better and better.
After seeing his grandfather, he took the three children to the building where he lived.
There, they met Yugito Nii and Mabui.
Mabui felt incredibly happy to see him return.
While he was away, both her body and mind had felt terribly uncomfortable. It was then she realized that she had long since fallen in love with this man.
Even though she had been taken by force, she found herself liking it immensely.
After all, her village had been in the wrong first.
He must have just acted out of a moment of anger when he did that to her.
As for the newly arrived blue-haired woman, she was already used to such sights.
She guessed it was yet another one of Ryōsuke's women.
She already knew of quite a few.
The Hokage, Tsunade, and her subordinate, Shizune, were among them, as well as Yūhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yūgao.
All of them were his.
