The next day, after Garcia Lovelace flew home. Leon and Tsunade sits in front of Balalaika in Hotel Moscow HQ.
"So can I fly home?"
"Why should we fly you home?".
"I could pay you in cash. I just need your help to return me to LA"
"If I refuse?"
"Well, your loss. Beside rather than others, I would rather trust you more, a former Soldier becoming a Mafia. At least you have some honor left in you, even if it was twisted"
"What's in it for me?"
"My mother found out some crazy cult in the US government is making advanced Robots to take over the world. They try to make a program that could take over American Defense system and launch Nuclear to cull out the human population"
"Americans and their conspiracy theory. Like I would believe those kind of stories"
"Robert Brewster from DOD, Cyberdyne Systems, Skynet Project. Ask Eda on that" Leon smiled.
"Huh, like it would prove anything" says Balalaika.
"You fear the truth if I was right, isn't it miss Sofiya Pavlovna. Because just to remind you, a call to that bitch means the US Government would suddenly take an interest in you" say Leon.
Balalaika knows she can't threaten the boy. The small girl sitting and eating ice cream in the back gives dread on her. It seems she was playing with a Kunai. If she didn't see her demolish a container with a single fist, she would consider her a normal girl.
As a soldier she knows how dangerous some person can be. This girl is even more dangerous than Revy, or any other gunslinger in this city. The boy threat level is also way off the chart. Two 10 year olds have the same smell as a veteran soldiers.
"I would pay your flight to LA if you help me dealing with some issues, first"
"What is it?"
"Our relation with the Italian Mafia in this city is deteriorating. We need you to deal with it"
"Hmmm, good idea. Verochio probably trying to send two kids to kill you and Mr Chang"
"For someone who never set in this place you seems to know a lot"
"Miss Sofiya, that is our secret," he said.
"By the way, count this as a favor for us. If two romanian kids drop by in this city, capture them and bring them to me. Alive if you please. I pay a bonus for that" say Leon.
"Boss, why do ask those two kids to deal with Verocchio and his goons"
"Those are not the eyes of kids Boris, and they were not the deranged type or a broken one as well. Those are the eyes of Soldiers, those who survive through hell hole. If the mad dog we sent off yesterday was bad. Those two are probably worse"
"They don't use guns. Most probably sword or knives, probably martial artist" say Shen Hua as she enters from another room.
"I've heard of some Grandmaster martial artist that could do what they do. Boss Balalaika, this is way over my ability"
"What do you know about his mother Levy"
"Sarah Connor is crazy, crazy good. I met her in LA not long before she was arrested, buying some stuff from the company. She murder an entire Mexican cartel alone like a rambo"
"So how is she being arrested?"
"Some bigshot corporate hire special forces to take her down. They use sleeping gas and tasers on her,"

Infiltrating a Mafia base is as easy as a pie for Leon and Tsunade. They are Shinobi. The question is how to murder him without causing strife and unnecessary conflict in Roanapur.
Make it like a normal stroke or heart attack, or an accident.
A chakra scalpel struck his heart and they found him dead the next day.
Leon is able to get to know Rock while they are waiting to return as they need proper papers to hide his identity. Tsunade was quite fond to gamble a little bit, at least she was not as bad as her original version. Her luck is shitty if you send her on pure luck gambling, but her skill in the poker game is scary good that she put Levy out of her cash in no time.
"So what are you guys?" ask Rock.
"Shinobi" Leon answers while taking his whisky.
"Ninja?" say Rock.
"Dude, you see scary gun slinging monsters, and you think this is the deepest abyss? It was much deeper than you think. The universe is much deeper and scary than you think."
There is one reason why Hotel Moscow and Rock agree to give John some contact with them. Rock finds out that Cyberdine does exist, they have a contract with DOD and there are rumors that they get some strange chips from 1984. Robert Brewsters also exist as military officers charged in Cyber Security. Rumors about Machine worshipping Cult also run in US Underground society.
When Rock returned after delivering those two brats to LA, he gave the report to Balalaika.
After the mission they got like 23,000 points. Leon used most of it to put his stolen guns, ammo and cash from Roanapur into the system in case he was sent to another world and also added another 10,000 hours of lifetime.
Leon arrived in LA after three days in Roanapur. Well they luckily arrived on time before the Voight returned.
"So do you guys have fun without us? John, Tsunade" ask Janelle.
"Oh we have fun alright, driving and shooting something"
"Are you playing those strange games again?" ask Todd
"We plead the fifth" says Leon with a straight face.
Todd just rubs his hand at Leon heads.
Leon knows that they can't stay with this family for too long. They are just a normal family, probably given bad luck by adopting his original self. It was quite some time for a whole month until Leon could make his adoptions to the Addams from the Voight a reality. Using some henge, they fool the Child Service claiming they are a relative of Sarrah Connor. Next they tried to claim some custody from the Voight. It was easier by asking Revy and Rock to pretend as their future parents. Nothing some cash could smooth out, not to mention Leon's insistence that their mother has some troublesome people after him, so it would be better that Leon lived with the Addams. By claiming that the Addams are mostly working abroad, Leon promised to visit the Voight for dinner sometimes. After a hug with Todd and Janelle, Leon and Tsunade were relieved.
"You know, they are a good kind of family" say Rock while taking a smoke.
"That is one reason why I try to keep them away from our problems. Me and Tsunade can handle dangerous things, they can't. It would be better for them to be safe away from us"
"Have you succeeded in finding Miles Dyson?" ask Leon.
"Yeah. This their home"
"Hmmm, need some time until I have a good reason to make contact with him. He won't believe me right now anyway"
"Skynet huh" ask Rock.
"It's out of your paygrade, and you are operating in Roanapur old man. Dealing with such black projects would bring US Government interest to your city. Until you have enough power, just stay out of it"
"Yeah, it is above our pay grade. I won't touch anything related with US black project even with a hundred foot pole. So why do a 10 year old kid trying to deal with this shit. It shouldn't be like that"
"I am already a target for them to kill. So I must deal with them"
"Why?"
"A man named John Connor would lead a resistance that would bring down Skynet. So a machine from the future would always be send back to the past to kill John Connor to remove the threat"
"And your mother named you John Connor"
"Well they did try to murder my mother when she was younger you know"
For once Rock inhales a deeper smoke of his cigarette.
"It was a shitty live you have there. Want to get out your mother?"
"Naaah. Let her cool down her head over there. She did do something stupid"
"Your story doesn't make sense. If they already trying to kill you in the past, why they don't try to always kill you right now"
"Let's just say there are inner circles who try to kill me, and the fools who try to create the machine with the ideas of advancing the human kind. Right now there is only the fools, while the inner circle are restrained to send assassin to me"

New years pass by in the Addams Residence. Most of the time Leon and Tsunade enjoy their free times away from the Voight. Tsunade enjoy their school time as modern schools are less troubling and indoctrinating than in Naruto World.
There are no more things to hide from adults, so Tsunade and Leon go wild in their relationship. Well cuddling naked and sex is a norm. They didn't forget to use contraceptives.
Leon also started to invest in the stock market. Gangs in LA start to get problems as their cocaine stash are raided more with their money gone. News of vigilantes making problems to gangs in LA is quite a big issue. Leon sells all the cocaine he raided to Hotel Moscow with cheaper than market price, just to make a good connection.
Leon also starts to recruit members slowly. With the knowledge of Shinobi worlds, he plan to recruit a few young orphans, and some kids from bad families.
While activating their Chakra Network would be a hassle, but using his past knowledge and research with Orochimaru. Leon succeeds to gather enough Ki activating medicine and drugs to raise his first soldiers.
In reality just walking to a Chinese Medicine shop and taking a little look, he could buy enough for hundreds.
"Damn, I know that getting these drugs would make a killing in my world, yet we could buy it for cheap here" says Tsunade with envy.
"Well no one I know in this world has an active Chakra Network like we do honey"
By the end of January they already gather few street boys and girls who already pledge their loyalty to Leon. Some fuin technique he plunders from Root really works to ensure loyalty here.
There are some others who join because they are interested in John Connor. So it was quite a shock when 10 year old Kate Brewster suddenly claim her love and pledge allegiance to him, claiming she would do everything to be with John.
"John Connor, I would be your wife, so Marry me!"
Leon eyes pledge asking for help to Tsunade.
"Sorry dear. He is mine…." say Tsunade with a smile while hugging John's hand. Kate's eyes are bordering crying.
"But if you don't mind sharing him with me, I won't mind," says Tsunade with an evil smile.
Leon's eyes go wide hearing Tsunade's words.
"Really? You don't mind him becoming my boyfriend?"
"Hmmm, I don't mind, as long you remember he is my husband"
Leon facepalm hard. He really has issues getting an innocent girl to get involved with their problems. Tsunade is a Shinobi, most people he recruited are already on the street. But Katherine Brewster is just a normal girl who has a silly crush on him.
In reality, Katherine Brewster's family do has issues. Her father who is a workaholic rarely at home, her mothers disappointed with the marriage and has started cheating. A common American family issue.
Since John was forced to school after his Mother's arrest, Kate was quite close to John. So she develops some crush since he was 9, and when Tsunade suddenly appears, she feels threatened.
"If you want to be with John, you must know he has some secrets. If you accept to be with him, you must pledge loyalty to him" Tsunade insisted.
"If I could be with him, I would do everything," she said.
