"You know, I've gotta admit, that healing jutsu of yours is something else."
Daiki looked away from where he was staring pensively at the deeply slumbering Rock Lee, looking over his shoulder at Tsunade as idly flipped through a chart behind him.
She glanced at him as he looked at her, and shook her head, "It's completely cheating mind you, letting a complete novice like you when it comes to medic training, to heal even the most life threatening of injuries," the blonde Senju pointed out, sounding annoyed and impressed at the same time, "No chance I can learn it from you?"
"Learning it isn't the problem," he shrugged, "The problem is it needs pure life force converted into the jutsu to work. So unless you want to shrivel yourself back into an old prune, it's not gonna be something you want."
She grimaced, "Lovely," Tsunade huffed, "I suppose that's out of reach for me then unless I become a Jinchuuriki or something."
Or something.
Quite honestly, Tsunade had enough chakra that she'd be able to do it. She already stored chakra daily in the seal on her forehead.
Granted, without his eyes she'd have to do the conversion of chakra to life force manually, and it would be way harder. But, it was within the realm of possibility. He however, didn't feel like handing out the Mythical Palm Jutsu willy nilly.
It was one of the most potent healing techniques in existence. And if she learned it, she might be able to puzzle out converting chakra to life force.
And she had a seal that would work to store it in like he used his Heavenly Star Seal. If she did, there would be little stopping her from trying to leave Konoha again.
She only stuck around because of him being her only source to keep her youth and from ever growing old again.
Well, that and the threats of him declaring her a missing-nin. But, if she figured it out, he wasn't sure quite how bold she would get.
And he didn't really want to kill her.
And to be fair, in her place he wouldn't blame her. At least as far as sticking around being under someone. He'd initially had little love for the village himself after all.
If he didn't have the responsibility initially of wanting to get strong enough to survive and stop the end of the world, and then becoming Hokage…he'd have fucked off by now.
Nowadays, he wouldn't even need to remain on this planet. Or even this dimension. Between his eyes and Isobu's knowledge and experience of spending time in others dimensions such as hell, and having the contract for the Rashomon gates…he could leave this world behind at any point.
Alas, that was behind him now. Maybe one day in the future, when he passed on the hat himself, when Konoha stood supreme above all others, he could take a gander at it.
But for now, it was not in the plans.
'Well, you were toying with conquering hell and enslaving the demons were you not?' Isobu mused.
…Well yes. He planned on dealing with that demon Moryo in the Land of Demons and taking control of his ghost army. And then going after the demons themselves in their own realm. And then use them to patrol the Land of Wind and Land of Rivers once he conquered them.
It would be quite a while after all, before the human population of the leaf could maintain such lands by itself. Even with absorbing the people of the Land of Wind into the Land of Fire.
He'd put it on the back burner though, because he has the Wood Style now fully and could make Wood Golems. And the full size ones were capable of wrestling bijuu.
Which reminded him. He needed to remember to go and deal with Black Shadow. That was another demon lingering around, in the Land of Fire at that.
It had an interesting set of abilities too. Such as being able to reap the soul of those it killed and summon them as shadow warriors to fight for it. Partly at least. The grander part of their soul moved on to the Pure Lands. But, it still gained a shade of anyone it killed with that ability.
…There was something familiar about that. But he put it out of mind, Black Shadow was no threat to him. It was a buffoon of a beast. He could deal with it solo easily enough, since it wasn't on his level at all.
"Speaking of," Tsunade sighed and sat down beside him, "Are you really serious about taking back the Bijuu?"
"Yes," Daiki answered without hesitation, "Beyond the facts I said about them being used against us. They are the siblings of the Sanbi, and since he's got my back. I'll have his, I'll be freeing all of siblings in time."
Her lips quirked as she stared at him, studying him, "You really don't like my grandfather do you?"
"I think he was an absolute retard," Daiki replied bluntly, not hiding his distaste for him at all, "An absurdly, obscenely powerful retard. But a retard all the same."
"…Jeez he'd be really hurt to hear that. One of his successors thinking so lowly of him," Tsunade shook her head, "Try not to be too hard on him. My grandfather was an odd man, traumatised from losing so many of his family during the Warring Clan State Era. He didn't like fighting, he was a pacifist. All he wanted was peace."
You know what? Daiki was beginning to get sick of fools and their talk of peace, "Good for him," Daiki rolled his eyes, "But he was only allowed his mercy and ways of pacifism, because of his strength. Mercy, is the right of the strong. And he was the strongest of his time. Of all time beyond the Sage of Six Paths. At least until I came along."
"You think real high of yourself huh kid?" Tsunade snorted, "…Admittedly, you are incredibly strong. I'm not too happy you held back during our fight, but it was probably for the best. If you went all out, you'd have levelled that town easily."
The busty blonde shook her had as she said that, before pointing at him, "However, you're underestimating my grandfather," she said bluntly, "You're not on his level yet."
It was his turn to shake his head, "Yeah, I'm not on his level," he agreed, "I'm beyond it."
She opened her mouth, no doubt to deride him for it. To tell him not to be arrogant, or some variation. It was understandable, saying he had surpassed Hashirama Senju, may as well have sounded like he said he surpassed the Sage of Six Paths. That was how ludicrous it was.
But he cut her off, "But me being stronger than that hippy, is neither here nor there," Daiki shrugged, "Hashirama Senju didn't understand people. He had a nice dream, and I'll praise him eternally for creating Konoha, and respect him as the First Hokage. But as a person, he was a fool that knew nothing. And because of his stupidity and naivety, the people of Konoha, my people have suffered the jealousy, spite and hatred of all the other villages for decades."
He looked her straight in the eye, "There won't be any more Dan's or Nawaki's dying far away from home, their lives as superior Konoha citizens wasted," The Hokage told her bluntly, and any protest she had for his words, died in her throat, "When my plans come to fruition, there will only be Konoha. This world, will be Konoha."
She sighed and looked away, "That's not fair kid."
"I'm a ninja, I don't do fair." Daiki snorted, smirking. She may as well have said okay, he won with that.
