Moving to Konoha and a new home

The morning of the next day.

Uzukage's residence. Training ground.

In the Uzukage's residence, as in many other Uzumaki's houses, there was a large training ground. The training ground was protected by numerous fuin barriers, so it was possible to fight at full power or use the most destructive jutsus.

Now a cute eight-year-old girl was training there, the training of which was monitored by her older version.

Long yellow chains came out from the back of the girl, on the front of which there were sharp blades. These chains were a hiden of the Uzumaki clan and were called .

Chains were universal weapons and could be used in absolutely any situation, they were suitable for attack, for defense, for sealing, and even could absorb the enemy's chakra.

But also, was considered the legendary technique of the Uzumaki clan. And this is not surprising, because, for the entire long existence of the clan, only a few women were able to fully master this technique. One of these few women was the wife of the first Hokage, Mito Uzumaki, and the other was Kushina's mother, Kiyoko.

But Kushina's chains were slightly different from their chains. Her chains were more golden, and the blades on their front were not like ninja's kunais. The reason for this, of course, was Ray.

He always told Kushina stories about gods, heroes, and other events in various mythologies.

And when Kushina heard the story of Gilgamesh and his greatest weapon Enkidu, she immediately decided that her chains would be similar to the Chains of Heaven, but would be much better and more powerful.

Ray wanted to create similar chains for her, of course he still does not know how to create a conceptual weapon, but he could create a good copy that would have all the abilities of Enkidu, excluding only the absorption and sealing of divinity. But Kushina refused this, she said she wants to perfect the of the Uzumaki clan and create her own chains that will surpass Enkidu: Chains of Heaven in the future.

Ray believed that in the future Kushina will certainly succeed, and her chains will become many times stronger than Enkidu.

"Well, very well. You are only eight years old, but you have already learned not only how to create, but also control . Ufufufufufu, now you can tie, seal and blow up any bitch that tries to seduce Ray-chan. Fufufu, my daughter is already quite an adult. I'm proud of you, Kushina-chan," putting her hand on her cheek, Kiyoko said proudly.

Kushina put her hands on her waist and began to nod:

"Ray-nii-chan is just mine! I will protect him from all the bad women."

"Ara ara. That's right, you have to learn how to protect your beloved onii-chan. Good girl," going up to Kushina and stroking her head, Kiyoko said with a smile on her face.

After this short training and lesson from Kiyoko, mother and daughter headed towards the big onsen.

The arrival time of Konoha jonin was drawing near, and they wanted to spend the remaining time with each other. Kushina and Kiyoko will not be able to see each other until Ray creates a teleportation fuin, and he has not even begun to create it.

Although he has already created an improved Flying Thunder God Technique, but it is not suitable for ordinary teleportation and cannot teleport the user to another space. At this point, Ray realized the usefulness and advantage of the . The creates a spatial tunnel that connects two points of space regardless of the distance between them. And most importantly, the have no restrictions on the number of people who can teleport through them...

While Kushina and Kiyoko enjoyed hot water, Ray sat at a table in the living room of the Uzukage's residence and ate ramen. Since he appeared in this world, ramen has become one of the main dishes of his daily menu, but he really liked this amazing dish.

Ray always believed that getting into the World of Naruto and not tasting ramen was the same as getting into a Bikini Bottom and not tasting krabby patty, which is very unreasonable and stupid. Why spend all the time looking for new harem members and new power if there are many other interesting things in all these worlds?

_____

Land of Whirlpools.

Dock.

It was almost noon. This means that the arrival time of Konoha jonin was approaching, and the time when Kushina and Ray left Uzushio.

The distance from Konoha to Uzushio was not too long, any average jonin can overcome it in a maximum of two days, and Konoha jonin should arrive in the next few tens of minutes.

Kenshin, Kushina, and Ray decided not to waste time and meet Konoha jonin right on the pier.

Kiyoko and Haruto returned to the new Uzumaki village, they said goodbye to Kushina and Ray a few hours before noon. They knew that Ray was very responsible and strong, so they did not worry much about him and Kushina. Kiyoko and Haruto trusted Ray, and were sure that he could take care of their little daughter. And Ray, of course, will fully justify their trust, because he has already accepted Kushina as his future wife, and really really cares about her.

"Ojii-san, why so long? I'm tired of waiting for this jonin, why do we need him at all? I'm sure that he will be a weakling," crossing her arms on her still flat chest, Kushina complained.

*Sigh*

"This is for your safety. Do you want the Hokage or the Heads of Clans to learn about Ray's real power and start sending their kunoichi or daughters to him? If this happens, they will interfere with your daily life, trying to seduce Ray," looking at his granddaughter, Kenshin said with a sigh.

Hearing Kenshin's words, Kushina's hair began to glow in red, and her eyes narrowed and filled with cold.

Ray went to Kushina and began gently stroking her head.

"There there. Everything will be all right. They will not interfere with our lives," Ray whispered soothingly.

"Umu," Kushina smiled and nodded.

She likes it when Ray spoils her and pats her on the head.

Kenshin watched this in surprise.

[Ray gets along very well with her. He even knows how to calm her down. Knowing Kiyoko's character, Ray really deserves respect and the title of "Best Man of the Uzumaki Clan".] with his hand on his chin, Kenshin thought.

Ray did not pay attention to Kenshin's actions, he continued to stroke Kushina's head and use Observation Haki from time to time.

Suddenly he sense a small ship sailing toward them.

Ray looked at Kushina and said:

"Kushina-chan, try using the ."

Kushina looked at Ray and nodded, she closed her eyes and began to use the sensory ability .

Ray had not yet told her about Haki or Rokushiki. Her body was still too weak to study Armament Haki. And he did not want to teach her Observation Haki until she fully mastered the .

is the strongest sensory ability of the World of Naruto. Karin could sense the chakra at a distance of several tens of kilometers. Ray knew the full potential of this ability. He wanted Kushina to try to combine it with Observation Haki. If she succeeded, she would gain a powerful ability that would allow her to use her chains within the range of .

Ray lost in thought and did not notice that Kushina had already opened her eyes and was looking at his face.

"Ray-nii-chan," poking Ray's cheek, Kushina quietly called him.

Ray looked at Kushina and smiled.

"Sorry, I'm thinking too much," Ray answered.

"Mmm. I sense a small ship with three people on board. One of them is a shinobi with a jonin's chakra level. I think it's a Konoha useless shinobi," Kushina said with a serious expression on her face.

"Hahahahaha. Useless Konoha shinobi... I like this name. When I get back to Uzushio, I will propose to rename Konoha jonins to Konoha useless shinobi. Hahaha, that's a great idea," Kenshin laughed out loud.

*Sigh*

Ray sighed wearily and massaged his temples.

"Ohhh, he's here. Finally," Kushina said, looking at the sea.

Ray looked at the sea and saw a small ship carrying three people on board, one of whom he recognized immediately.

[Who would have thought. Our escort will be the future himself. Is the Hokage trying to show the Uzumaki clan his respect? Or does he want to earn our trust and gratitude? Is Hatake Sakumo, one of Konoha's strongest jonin and Anbu Commander fulfilling a simple mission to escort two children? Hehehe. Good joke.] Ray thought with a smile.

Five minutes later, the ship approached the pier and Sakumo jumped on it, he went to Uzukage and began to talk about something.

Ray and Kushina stood apart and ignored their conversation, they did not care about that.

______

"Kushina, Ray, this is Hatake Sakumo, the jonin who will escort you to Konoha," pointing to Sakumo, Kenshin said.

"I'm counting on you, Sakumo-san," looking at the jonin, both Kushina and Ray said at the same time.

"Hahaha, what polite children. Don't worry, you will get to Konoha safe and sound," Sakumo said with a smile.

Kenshin looked at Sakumo, but said nothing. He knew that Hatake Sakumo was one of Konoha's strongest shinobi. But he still did not trust him. In the end, it is about his grandson and granddaughter. If Kenshin did not know about Ray's power, then he would never have agreed to send them to Konoha accompanied by one single jonin. Especially now, when in the Land of Fire there is an increased concentration of shinobis from other villages.

He looked at Ray and nodded.

Ray saw this and nodded back. He realized what Kenshin wanted to tell him.

"The journey to Konoha will take about three days, so we'll set off right now," looking at Kushina and Ray, Sakumo said.

They nodded and said goodbye to Kenshin, after which they jumped aboard the ship.

Kenshin continued to stand on the pier and stare at the sailing ship for another five minutes. As soon as the ship disappeared into the thick fog, he headed back to the village. Kenshin needed to finish many things, the main of which was preparation for the war against Kumo and Kiri.

Kushina and Ray left Uzushio, a few months before its "destruction". But this has nothing to do with them.

_____

2 days later.

Two long days have passed since the moment Ray and Kushina left Uzushio.

All this time they moved to Konoha.

Sakumo noted that the stamina of Ray and Kushina is much higher than that of the genin or even the chunin, so they practically did not stop and moved all the time.

Kushina did not waste time and on the way to Konoha improved her . She achieved good results, and now her sensory technique could cover a radius of eight kilometers.

Ray also did not relax and watched his surroundings, sometimes giving advice and lessons to Kushina.

Three people moved quickly, jumping from branch to branch. They were already approaching Konoha and could relax a bit.

"Ray-nii-chan, you were right, in the last two days I have been able to sense several dozen shinobi from other villages," jumping to the branch on which Ray stood, Kushina said quietly.

Ray looked at Kushina and nodded.

"These are spies and scouts, they study the territory and look for important trade routes. Food is one of the most important arteries during the war. And if an enemy detachment can cut it, their village will get a huge advantage over its opponent. Remember, Kushina, on war does not have morality and honor, there is only victory and survival," stroking an imaginary beard, Ray said.

*Sigh*

"Do you think they will make us fight and enter the battlefield?" Kushina asked with a sigh.

Ray nodded.

"This is entirely possible. Shinobi are soldiers, and they are obliged to obey orders, even if they are young genins. But you have nothing to worry about, if we enter the war, you will be in my team. And do not forget that war is a good way to get a high rank and get permission to create our clan in the village. This is such a silly law that only a shinobi of chunin rank or higher can become the head of the clan," said Ray.

"Umu. I'm not worried at all," Kushina said with a smile.

"We are approaching Konoha," Sakumo suddenly said.

He did not hear the conversation between Ray and Kushina, because Ray used a small fuin barrier around them that blocks the spread of sound.

Hearing Sakumo's words, they looked into the distance and saw a huge wooden wall and a large gate.

"Tch. Hashiramara was a good builder," clicking her tongue, Kushina said.

Hearing her words and the way she called the name of the first Hokage, Sakumo nearly fell from the tree and began to cough.

*Cough*

*Cough*

*Cough*

"Are you okay, Sakumo-san?" Ray asked with a disinterested expression.

Seeing his expression, Sakumo thought: [Damn it, you don't even hide the fact that you do not care about my answer and you asked me out of politeness.]

"Yes, I'm fine. No need to worry," scratching the back of his head, Sakumo answered.

*Sigh*

"We need to meet with the Third Hokage," Sakumo said with a sigh. He wanted to quickly report to the leader and go home to sleep.

Ray and Kushina nodded and went to the gate after Sakumo.

They did not pay attention to the shinobis guarding the gates and completely ignored their conversation with Sakumo.

Kushina looked around, most likely she was looking for restaurants and shops, especially the ramen restaurant. Ray simply closed his eyes and scanned Konoha with his Observation Haki. What was his surprise when he found a new jinchuriki, and it turned out to be a girl with red hair.

[Hahahahaha. I knew! I knew that the Will of Narutoverse would create a replacement for Kushina.] smiling broadly, Ray thought.

Kushina saw Ray's smile and was surprised, usually, he never smiles in the presence of strangers.

[Probably he found something interesting and worth his attention.] tilting her head, Kushina thought.

At that moment, Sakumo approached them.

"Everything is ready. We can go to the Hokage Residence," waving his hand toward the largest building in the village, Sakumo said.

Ray and Kushina looked at him and nodded.

On the way to the Hokage Residence, Ray and Kushina felt the many eyes of local residents on themselves. They looked at them, especially at Kushina, as dangerous outsiders and unwanted guests.

[I see. So this is why Sakumo leads us to the Hokage Residence on the road, not on the rooftops. Damn Dumbledore of Narutoverse. He wants us to feel like outcasts and strangers, then he will be able to put on his "kind grandfather" mask and try to earn our trust and respect. And he would have succeeded, because any child needs a parental figure, and in the case of a lonely and persecuted child, this is even more pronounced. This is a good tactic, but it is useless against us. Kushina is too smart and you can never impose your "Will of Fire" on her. And I? I just don't care about this village and its inhabitants.]

_____

10 minutes later.

Hokage Residence.

"Konoha is really a very big village," leaning on a wooden wall opposite the door to the Hokage's office, Kushina said.

"Mmm. That's all thanks to the First Hokage and his Mokuton. He built this village almost alone," standing next to Kushina, Ray said.

*Sigh*

"Hashiramara is the best builder of Shinobi World. God of Builders. I want to learn Mokuton too," Kushina said with a sigh.

"You can do it. Mokuton is a combination of water, earth, and natural energy. I will start teaching you senjutsu in a few years when your body will become stronger and your chakra supply will be larger," stroking Kushina on the head, Ray said.

Kushina closed her eyes and smiled.

They waited another 5 minutes, after which the door finally opened and Hatake Sakumo came out of the office.

He looked at Kushina and Ray and said:

"Hokage-sama is ready to see you. Good luck."

Having said these words, he disappeared into a whirlwind of leaves.

Ray and Kushina looked at each other and nodded. It is their time to meet Dumble...Third Hokage.
