_____________________
Isshiki Ōtsutsuki was a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan\'s main family and the leader of Kara. A thousand years ago, Isshiki came to Earth alongside Kaguya with the objective to plant a Tree to harvest its Chakra Fruit. While Kaguya, being lower-ranked, was planned to be sacrificed to create the Chakra Fruit, she instead turned on Isshiki, leaving him on the verge of death after destroying Isshiki\'s lower half.
But he survived, for years, as he planned for his return, and finally found his perfect host, one whose body, if he took over, would make him even stronger than his peak strength.
It was a miracle and he had no idea who it even was. But, when he tried to take over Shiroken\'s body, he realised that it was way beyond his limit to take over, at least in the short term. So, he decided to sit down and work slowly, just like he\'s been doing all this time.
"He can not sense me, it\'s impossible. By the time he does, his body will be mine." Isshiki was already celebrating victory.
...
~Huh, what a dumbass,~ Shiroken nearly laughed when he heard the pest that had climbed onto his body.
He\'d known about this foreign body from the moment it latched onto him, like a parasite, eating up its host. But he did not react, at first, he wanted to know what its goal was, which was clear by now, it wanted to take over his body. Second, he wanted to know who it was, which was clear now as he often brooded over Kaguya and cursed her.
So, he was an Otsutsuki all right. Now, what Shiroken wanted was to absorb his body, take over all his memories, fight experiences and moves. He was going to do exactly what the Otsutsuki do to worlds get stronger, but his method was much quicker, straightforward and easy.
~Hehe, grow, little one, become juicy and fat, so I can devour more of you, for I have unlimited energy and you have a limited capacity.~ Shiroken laughed menacingly in his head.
...
Dama City,
"La lala la la... Sister Izumi, I want to eat something." Shirajin was roaming around the village, with his childhood crush, Izumi Uchiha and his rival, Itachi Uchiha.
Izumi, oblivious of what was in the boy\'s young mind, treated him like a baby. Well, Shirajin was also innocent, he was just a little kid with attraction towards an attractive lady. There were no dirty thoughts, just a pure innocent wish to roam around with her, play with her or eat ice cream with her.
Itachi knew this, that\'s why he didn\'t say anything. Otherwise, he would have dealt with the pervert.
"Aw... let\'s go then. Here, hold my hand." Izumi extended her hand to him.
She was enjoying this very much. Reason? Well, this made her feel like a family, with Itachi of course. When she was small, she used to think about her future with Itachi... until everything crumbled.
...
Obito and Rin were also roaming around the village. However, Obito was pretty annoyed right now.
"Obito, look, I want to play that game. It looks interesting." Rin walked towards a stall where one had to throw kunais while being blindfolded.
The shopkeeper, an Uzumaki, cheerfully treated them, "Welcome, 50 Ryo for one chance. Ah, young man, won\'t you win something for your cute little sister?"
"SHE IS NOT MY SISTER! GOD, EACH ONE OF YOU IS BLIND." Obito fumed and quickly ended the game by throwing Kunai and winning Rin a teddy bear.
Rin laughed, "It\'s not their fault, I just look too small."
Obito nodded, "I know. But... ARGH! There must be a cure to bring your body to the right age. Maybe... Lady Tsunade can help, or maybe Lord Dama."
"Come on, Obito. Forget about all this. Let\'s have fun right now. LOOK! The saint beasts are there, Saint Chomei is singing a song." She ran away, making him follow behind.
...
In the crowded Market,
"Ah, dear, look how everyone looks at us. Do we look so amazing together?" A man asked the woman, holding his arm.
The woman nodded with a blush, "Perhaps, we are just too beautiful, Rakumatsu, my love."
"Oh, Chiyo, my beautiful butterfly. Let\'s go to my house, we both shall fly tonight." Rakumatsu suggested.
"Yes, let\'s hurry." She and Rakumatsu fastened their steps.
"UWAAAA... WHAT DID I JUST HEAR?" Jiraiya, who was passing by, suddenly felt like vomiting.
But when he looked around, so many people were actually vomiting.
...
The people from Iwagakure, the village that Shiroken had destroyed, had also come to this festival. It had been nearly a year since that event took place, and by now all of the people were clearly informed of why that happened.
Thankfully, none were really complaining, as almost everyone saw a change for the better in their lives. They lived in better homes and made more money than before.
The only ones who were making a problem were the clansmen and clan heads of Iwagakure. Though their anger and rebellion were quickly quenched by showing them what happened to the clan heads of Kirigakure. After that, the Clan system was completely abolished and all the previous clans aka families were not allowed to all stay in one place. Each family was sent to a different country.
Now, the people of Iwa loved Shiroken as much as normal people.
What about the rest of the world? Well, they too loved him, clear by the new trend around the world. For anyone who wants to swear about something, they do it in Shiroken\'s name. Phrases such as "In the name of Lord Dama" or "I swear by Lord Dama\'s name". Heck, there were even some curses, "For Lord Dama\'s sake, shut the fuck up.". Though these curses were rare, they were getting popular. Shiroken didn\'t like them, but he allowed them. He was not a dictator to even dictate the way of people\'s lives.
Other than this, the people especially loved him for making computers so affordable and the new thing called data-net, through which they could buy anything now.
Life had truly become luxurious, they felt.
...
When the sun had set and the city started to glow in all its glory. The big parade started. All Bijuu would walk in it, along with Shiroken, and beside him Tsunade.
There were also many performances, for singing, theatres and more. Everybody had something to do to pass their time.
"What do you think? Can you handle being called a Goddess? Look, all these men are going crazy after seeing you." Shiroken teased her from a motorised platform, as they went on in the parade.
Tsunade scoffed, "I was able to handle Jiraiya, and he is the biggest pervert. These are just normal people. And besides, don\'t I have the strongest man in the world as my lover?"
"That you do. So, what do you want to do tomorrow? Want to see the moon with me?" He asked her.
*Cough* Tsunade coughed shyly, as she felt embarrassed by what she was about to say, "Ummm... I was thinking that we should get to know each other better. So... maybe I should move into your room?"
Shiroken made a stupid face, "Hmm? Don\'t we already know each other? What would being in the same room do? Do you have any secrets?"
Tsunade felt like slamming her head onto the metal safety grill. She couldn\'t really tell him everything that happens behind the doors. her face flustered.
"AH!" She suddenly exclaimed as a warm hand slid under her Haori that she wore over her Kimono due to cold air. The hand grabbed her waist and pulled her closer.
Shiroken whispered in her ears, "I was just teasing you, my dear. I agree, we should move in together and get to "Know" each other better."
His hand felt really warm to her, which intensified her blush. Shiroken chuckled, "Let\'s wave at them,"
He held her hand in his and waved towards the citizens of the world, who came here after long journeys.
"Have you thought about the future, Tsunade?" He asked her seriously.
She chuckled and shook her head, "I don\'t even know for how long I can live. I don\'t know what to think, though it makes me sad that you will be left even when everyone dies."
In response, he suddenly looked into her eyes and asked, "Then... do you want to be immortal? Just like Monari, Jin and most of the Nidama Clan members?"
