Chapter 325: Found
It can be said that Hyuga's control and unification of the ninja world was almost effortless.
At the beginning, after Hyuga displayed overwhelming strength enough to unify the ninja world, it did not expand outward as the various forces had imagined.
At that time, none of them understood why Hinata did this.
As time went by and they gradually discovered the existence of other worlds and the passages leading to them, they finally understood why Hyuga did not expand outward.
It turned out that Hyuga had long since looked down on the tiny land of the ninja world and had already set their sights on more distant worlds.
Naturally, once this truth was revealed, many forces quickly joined together, trying to copy Hyuga's methods and expand into other worlds.
Of course, things did not go that smoothly, but although the process was difficult, they still managed to expand outward and jointly seize a space time gate and the ownership of the world behind it.
But just when they were overjoyed and thought they were getting closer to Hyuga, a Hundred Days Banquet shattered their illusions.
The news that Hyuga Ryosuke and Hyuga Hinata had a child was not something to be hidden, so almost every force in the ninja world knew about it.
When they were invited to attend the ceremony in the Hyuga clan's lands and truly faced the current strength of the Hyuga family, they all fell silent.
"The Third World representative, UN General Secretary Iruma Kei, has arrived..."
"The Seventh World representative, the Tenth Generation Vongola boss Sawada Tsunayoshi, has arrived..."
"The Thirteenth World representative, one of the Four Emperors, Luffy, has arrived..."
"Sakamoto, the representative of the Twenty Third World, has arrived..."
…
The bustling Hyuga clan territory was decorated with lights and color. People like Shanks, Madoka Daiko, Tatsumi, and others who had already joined the Hyuga and were part of the clan were naturally present.
In addition to them, the worlds behind them also sent representatives to offer congratulations and present generous gifts from their worlds.
These included large amounts of rare resources such as scientific research results, magical tools, scarce materials, and so on.
Hyuga was now the core of the entire World Alliance, with its status at its peak. Although Ryosuke did not want his children's hundred day banquet to be tainted with such a strong commercial flavor, as a member of this clan and in his current position, he had to accept this reality.
This was a good opportunity to unite the forces of all sides and also a chance to display Hyuga's majesty.
The twenty three worlds were now referred to by code numbers instead of the earlier habit of naming them after special characters, buildings, or objects.
Hyuga now had twenty three worlds under its command, and none of them knew how many other powers Hyuga held besides their own worlds. And this time, they finally had the chance to all gather together.
Through this Hundred Days Banquet and the presence of representatives from all sides, everyone could clearly and peacefully gain an understanding of the power Hyuga possessed.
Hinata had no intention of playing coy, so there was no need to hide anything.
Only a strong, unmatched core could stabilize everything and prevent any thoughts of rebellion from arising.
…
"Father, I heard that at a child's hundred day banquet, they let the child draw lots to predict their future. Are we going to do that at our banquet?"
In Ryosuke's room,
As the main characters of the banquet, Yuichi and Mai were obediently changing into specially tailored clothes with Hinata's help.
In front of the mirror, the two babies, a boy and a girl, who were just one hundred days old, were talking to their parents in very mature voices, just like children of eleven or twelve years old.
Their bodies were floating directly in midair.
"Yuichi, destiny is decided by yourself, not by heaven."
Next to the full length mirror, Ryosuke stood adjusting his own clothes. "And when you asked that question, were you not already thinking about what you wanted to do in the future?"
"Unfortunately, there will be no lot drawing at this banquet. But if you two really want it, Dad can arrange one right now."
His voice was full of affection.
Whether in his past life or this one, Ryosuke had never known what it felt like to be a father.
Even though he had talked to them while they were still in the womb, when the two children were born into this world and truly called him "Dad", he could not help being deeply moved.
"But what if what we think was actually decided by destiny from the beginning?"
Neither of the children answered him. Instead, they continued to dwell on the question of their destiny and future.
They seemed very stubborn about this issue. Just like Ryosuke, their genes were truly something special.
"First of all, put aside whether fate really exists or not."
Facing their serious questions, Ryosuke answered with equal seriousness, not treating their words as childish nonsense.
"The choices you make every moment, the future you hope for, as long as those are decisions you make yourself, then they are your own choices, not fate or destiny."
"Before your strength reaches a certain level, I suggest that you do not try to explore your destiny, and do not try too hard to fight against it. Do not keep guessing whether every choice you make is arranged by heaven, or whether you should deliberately go against it."
"This is a serious warning. I hope you will listen to your father."
Without a certain level of strength, it is very easy to get stuck if you dig too deeply into such questions.
At the beginning, he himself had gone a little crazy because of this.
Ryosuke did not want his children to fall into that kind of mental maze before they had grown up.
They did not yet have minds strong and steady enough to walk out of such a maze.
"...Then we will not think about it."
Yuichi and Mai did not show any rebellious attitude and simply accepted Ryosuke's warning.
"Yuichi and Mai are really just like their father. They have been so smart since they were small."
Hinata was putting on makeup while listening to the interaction between the three of them, feeling a little jealous.
It felt like she was the only fool in this family.
"It is about time to come out and meet the guests, Sister!"
Before Hinata could say anything more, Hanabi's shout came from outside the door.
It was time for them to greet the guests who had arrived.
When Ryosuke came to the hall with his wife and children, he immediately felt countless slightly curious gazes fall upon him.
When those eyes shifted to the two children floating at his side, their curiosity was replaced by shock.
There were no chubby baby bodies or weak limbs.
Dressed in custom made little outfits, the two children did not look like one hundred day old babies at all, but more like three or four year old children.
They could even faintly sense muscle lines under the clothes of these "few month old babies."
Hyuga's bloodline?
Many people from other worlds were secretly shocked.
But in reality, it was not Hyuga blood at work.
It was Ryosuke's bloodline.
They had been born with an extremely large amount of chakra, and while still a fetus had already awakened the Tenseigan, one of the most powerful eye techniques in the ninja world. Now that they had left their mother's body, they had gone through an immense transformation in just one hundred days and possessed a much stronger physique than ordinary children.
Even Ryosuke had not expected their growth rate.
But he could accept that his children were this exceptional.
"Let me introduce my two children, Yuichi and Mai."
Facing so many people, Ryosuke felt no discomfort and greeted them with ease.
At his side, Hinata did not attend as clan leader, but as wife and mother, simply standing next to him with a smile.
The only ones who might feel a little stage fright were the two children.
Although their bodies and minds were completely different from normal babies, they still felt a bit nervous when facing so many strangers.
Slowly, they descended from their floating state and hid in the arms of Ryosuke and Hinata.
"Do not be afraid, these are all friends of our Hyuga."
Ryosuke held Yuichi as he went forward to greet his friends from other worlds one by one. "This is General Secretary Iruma Kei..."
"This is Mr Tsunayoshi..."
"This is Captain Luffy..."
Hinata followed with Mai and did the same.
Faced with these unfamiliar faces, Yuichi and Mai showed excellent adaptability and were only a little shy at the beginning.
Then, with the introductions from their father and mother, they gradually accepted these strangers and began to understand and get to know them.
Such an amazing performance once again surprised the guests.
It was hard to believe this was a hundred day banquet for babies.
If no one said anything, people would think it was their fourth birthday party.
After the rather tedious social banquet, everyone, whether they had joined Hyuga or not, could feel how bright the Hyuga family's future would be.
Not to mention Hinata, a wise and capable ruler who knew how to judge and use people,
Just her husband, who rarely showed his face, carried such a powerful aura that everyone present at the banquet dared not have the slightest thought of defiance.
And now, in addition to these two strong and wise figures, Hyuga had two young heirs who perfectly inherited their talents.
Such a powerful and stable clan made many worlds that were originally suppressed by force slowly give up the idea of competing with Hyuga for the core position of the World Alliance.
Just one week after the Hundred Days Banquet,
Many forces in the ninja world chose to surrender to Hyuga and were willing to join the World Alliance with Hyuga as its center.
They were willing to give up the old divisions between Konoha and the Sand Village, and even abandon the distinction between lands like the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, just so they could enter Hyuga and obtain a place in the World Alliance.
Although Hyuga had never taken the initiative to attack them and had even allowed them to develop, neither the daimyos of the lands nor the kage of the villages believed that Hyuga would ignore their development forever.
Rather than being dealt with in the future, it was better to surrender now.
In truth, Hyuga was not ignoring them. Hyuga had hoped to cultivate some rivals to train the younger generation of the clan, but did not want to raise a vicious wolf that would strike from behind.
However, since these forces, which had originally been left as training targets, had now chosen not to be their enemies, Hinata did not insist.
After all, with the current expansion across worlds, there were more and more targets that could serve as training partners.
As for these forces in the ninja world, there was no longer any need to deliberately cultivate them into enemies...
…
Everything was developing in a good direction.
Just when Ryosuke was happily being a father, trying to analyze the rules of the world he had seen while raising his two children, a sudden piece of news broke the peace.
"Is the news reliable? Is the power system in that world really that complicated?"
In the reception room, Ryosuke looked deeply at the stern young man in black before him.
His name was Reborn. He had originally been the tutor of Sawada Tsunayoshi and was also the strongest hitman in their world.
Now, he had joined Hyuga.
"Martial arts, superpowers, technology, mutations..."
Even when facing Ryosuke, Reborn calmly wiped the white pistol in his hand. "Almost every power system known across the many worlds Hyuga is now involved in appears in that world."
"In addition to the power systems, there are beings and organizations such as monsters and the Hero Association."
"It is almost certain that the world behind that space time gate is the world Lord Ryosuke has been searching for."
Saitama.
A hint of fighting spirit flashed in Ryosuke's calm eyes.
As his strength grew, his memories of his past life became clearer, and Boros's unwilling feelings and thoughts before his death awakened in his mind one by one.
Ever since he had been able to sense the existence of world rules, he had begun searching for that world, even mobilizing Hyuga's resources. Once they found a world that met certain conditions, all development plans would be suspended and he would personally take over.
"Which world's space time gate connects to that world?"
Ryosuke asked.
"It is the Twenty Fifth World, a magical world set in something like medieval Europe."
Reborn quickly replied, "That world is not very high level, but it has very complex monsters. We conquered it by force at the start."
After that, Ryosuke asked a few more questions and then fell silent.
He was thinking about what attitude he should hold when facing the world where Boros had once lived.
He was already eager to meet the man he had once met in that life, the man Boros had believed to be his destined opponent.
Perhaps from beginning to end, that strong man had never regarded his past self as an opponent. After all, he had been too weak at that time.
"Originally, I was in charge of planning the expansion for this world. Since Lord Ryosuke has personally taken over, I will step back."
Seeing that Ryosuke had calmed down and seemed to be thinking about something, Reborn stood up and said his farewell politely. "All war reserves and personnel that were prepared for the development are on standby. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time."
The main purpose of his visit was to inform Ryosuke of this matter and transfer control of the corresponding space time gate.
