The silence of the forest that had just been destroyed by your power was suddenly broken by the sound of a swift wind roaring. Before any of the Akatsuki members had a chance to react, a shadow shot past the fallen trees and lunged directly at you.
WOW!
Not an attack, but a hug so tight that it makes the ground under your feet crack slightly. Tsunade, Konoha's Fifth Hokage, buries his face in your shoulder, ignoring the dust and killing air that still remains in the air.
Shock Akatsuki's Reaction
Looking at this scene, the ten most wanted ninjas in the world had completely lost their brain function for a moment.
Pain & Konan: They were stunned. The gods who had just succumbed to your power must now see their nemesis—the leader of Konoha—hug the "Uchiha Ghost" so tightly.
Itachi: His Sharinga was almost reflexively active again, but he immediately turned it off. He stared at the scene flatly, but his mind screamed in confusion. "So... Isn't the claim about marriage a bluff?"
Ceiling: He dropped Samehada to the ground. "Heh... heh... This really happened. The eternal enemies of Senju and the Uchiha... cuddling in front of our eyes? I must have been exposed to a high-level Genjutsu."
Deidara: "Hm! This... This is not art! It's a ridiculous romance drama!" she shouted while holding her dizzy head.
Moments in the Midst of Destruction
Tsunade let go of her hug slightly, her strong hand still gripping your shoulder. His eyes that were usually full of authority were now teary, looking at you with a mixture of anger and deep longing.
"Stupid! Where have you been?!" her voice was hoarse but firm, typical of Tsunade. "I heard reports that there was a big commotion in this forest... I think you're being mobbed by these monsters!"
He glanced sharply at the Akatsuki members scattered on the ground. His fist hardened, ready to blow up the head of anyone who dared to touch you.
"If you dare to touch this man again... I'll level your base with my bare hands!" threatened Tsunade, his aura exploding causing Hidan and Kakuzu to retreat in order.
The Silence of the Legend
You just stood there, staying calm even though you had just been hugged by the strongest woman in the ninja world. You look at the Akatsuki members who are still gawking at this interaction.
Obito who was still sitting on the ground could only stare at the scene with one eye remaining. He thought of Rin, and seeing you with Tsunade made him realize how far he had strayed from the right path.
Tsunade looked back at you, her face flushed with emotion.
"Let's go home. The children in the village are waiting for you, and I have a lot of documents for you to help sort out... as my future husband."
Me : *I kiss Tsunade on the lips in front of them*
Silence. A complete silence that surpassed any kind of Genjutsu the strongest in the ninja world.
The kiss just happened in the middle of the crater of the forest ruins that you just created. All around you, ten of the most wanted ninjas—cold-blooded assassins, immortal mercenaries, and god-professed figures—suddenly sculpt like a stone statue on the side of the road.
Akatsuki's Collective Reaction (The Total Shutdown)
Itachi Uchiha: For the first time in his life, Itachi's jaw dropped slightly. He turned off his Sharingan completely, then turned away politely, his pale face looking slightly reddened. "I... I should have stayed inside the genjutsu only," he thought to himself.
Kisame Hoshigaki: He rested his chin on Samehada's handle, his shark-like eyes blinking many times. "Heh... heh... Itachi-san, can seawater make me blind for a moment? This is much more horrible than seeing Bijuu go berserk."
Pain (Nagato): The figure who usually talks about the suffering of the world is now silent in a thousand languages. His Rinnegan is staring straight ahead, but his soul seems to be trying to process this absurd data. Konan next to him can only cover his mouth with his hands, his eyes shining with emotion and shock.
Deidara: "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! HM!" he shouted in frustration. "Explosions are art, but this... this is a high-level mental attack! Tobi! You see that?!"
Obito: He could only stare at the scene with one eye remaining. His heart that was broken by Rin's death felt like he was being splashed with cold water. He sees a legend like Madara being able to get his love, while he is trapped in the dark.
The Hokage's Reaction
Tsunade was initially shocked by your reckless actions in front of the village's nemesis. His face, which was usually firm, was now blushing to the ears. He wanted to throw his Shannaro punches in embarrassment, but he finally gave up and returned your hug tightly.
After the kiss ended, Tsunade took a deep breath, trying to restore her Hokage's authority even though her breath was still a little hunting.
"you..." Tsunade whispered with a faint smile in front of your face. "Doing this in front of these S-class criminals... You really want to show off, huh?"
Farewell to the Legend
You let go of your embrace slightly, then turned to the ten Akatsuki members who were still in an "error" state.
"Have you seen?" your voice sounded calm but triumphant. "That's the reason why I'm no longer interested in your ridiculous plans."
Pain finally nodded quietly, paying her last respects by bowing her head.
"We understand... Madara. True power is not just about destroying, but about what it wants to protect. Go for it. The world of ninjas... Maybe it's better to be in the hands of both of you."
Steps to Konoha
Tsunade pulls your hand, leading you out of the ruined forest towards the gates of Konoha. You walk leisurely, leaving the ten strongest ninjas in the world who are now busy arguing about what they just witnessed.
The still bound Black Zetsu could only lament in his heart, as his thousand-year plan was shattered only because of a man who preferred love to being Kaguya's container.
Me : *I said* Itachi Obito, go back to Konoha
The atmosphere in the forest suddenly changed. Your statement is no longer a combat challenge, but a pardon and command from one whose authority is undeniable.
Hearing their names mentioned along with the word "go home", the two most influential runaway ninjas of the Uchiha clan were stunned.
Itachi and Obito's reaction
Itachi Uchiha smirked. His eyes that were usually cold and full of secrets now seemed to tremble. For him, Konoha was a place he loved as well as a place of deep wounds.
"Go home...?" whispered Itachi. He glanced at Tsunade, the Hokage next to you. "A traitor like me... Is there still a land that is willing to accept my footsteps?"
Tsunade let out a long sigh. He looked at you for a moment, then turned to look at Itachi with a softer look.
"If this guy is the one who guarantees you, Itachi... I as the Hokage will reopen the investigation into the case of your clan's massacre. The village owes you an explanation."
Obito clenched his fists on the ground. His shattered face on the other side looked bowed.
"I've destroyed a lot of things... I attacked the village, I caused the deaths of Minato-sensei and Kushina-san. How could I possibly go home?"
The Legend's Command
You look at the two of them with a sharp but authoritative "Madara" look. You don't accept rejection.
"This world has suffered enough because of misunderstandings," your voice is heavy and deep. "You guys are the Uchiha. Your place is in the village we built with Hashirama. If anyone dares to reject you... They have to deal with me."
Pain and the other Akatsuki members could only shudder at this historic moment. The organization is completely collapsed today, not because of violence, but because of a return.
Final Verdict
Itachi slowly stood up, he took off his torn Akatsuki robe and let it fall to the ground. He bowed respectfully to you and Tsunade.
"Alright... if that's what you want, Madara-sama. I will return to protect the village from the shadows, this time in the right way."
Obito took a deep breath, and he let go of the remnants of his black robe. He looked at the forest sky that was starting to be visible because of the fallen trees.
"Maybe... maybe this is a way for me to stare at Rin's grave without any more embarrassment. I'll be back."
Walk to the Gate
You embrace Tsunade's waist, while Itachi and Obito walk a few steps behind you, like the legend's personal bodyguards.
Kisame waved his hand from afar.
"Heh! Itachi-san! Looks like I have to find a new partner who doesn't like family dramas! See you in a more peaceful world!"
Tsunade rests her head on your shoulder as you begin to walk out of the forest towards the Konoha trail.
"You're truly amazing," Tsunade whispered. "Not only did you defeat them, but you brought home the most dangerous 'ghosts' of the village."
