Hiruzen sat on his chair with his hand rubbing his forehead. He looked in front of him and only saw Hikaru smiling at him as innocent as he can be. He rubbed his forehead again as he closed his eyes due to the stress he's currently feeling right now.
"So, what you are saying is that a month ago, you ordered two of your clones to go to the Island of Paradise while having one of the sons of our Daimyo turned into a little girl before selling him to the pedophiles in that island?" Hiruzen asked.
"Yes." Hikaru's short response.
Hiruzen rubbed his forehead more and then said, "After doing all that, you took all the slaves and innocent people with you before destroying the entire island with an S-Rank jutsu you created? And this all happened behind my back?!" Hiruzen asked, becoming more and more distressed because of the situation.
"Yup." Hikaru's, again, short response.
Bam!
Hiruzen stood up as he slapped the top of his desk and yelled, "Do you know what you have just done!? The Brother of the Fire Daimyo was there along with other important nobles! It came to me that they all died a month ago, but I didn't know it was all your doing! Thousands! Thousands of important nobles all died there along with powerful S-Rank Shinobis! The state capital of the fire country is currently experiencing massive panic, the nobles are all hiding in their houses and never coming out for the fear of a murderer killing them! There's also been a decrease of budget from the Fire Daimyo, and it's all because of you!! I wouldn't even know what would happen to us if they learn about this!"
Hikaru nervously scratched the side of his face and thought, 'I never knew the situation was this bad. I should've bought newspapers, that way I could've known what happened in the Capital.'
"We're doomed, Konoha is doomed! Doomed, I tell you!" It seems like Hiruzen can't hold his mentality from breaking apart, he's currently having a nervous breakdown right now.
"You underestimate me too much, old man. If it's the budget for the whole village, I can handle that. You know how powerful my abilities are, right? I can just use my genjutsu to fool the Fire Daimyo into giving us more budget than before, or if that's not an option, I can introduce new ways of making our own resources." Hikaru said he was as calm as a cucumber.
"It's not that easy! If we messed up the budgeting of the ENTIRE country, it could lead to a public revolt. We could easily stop all of them with our shinobis, but the thing is, they could just leave the country and we cannot have a country without people. I would rather choose the second option, that way it will be more peaceful." Hiruzen said as he took pills to calm himself.
Hikaru smirked and said. "Major Villages are just like military camps, we focus on the military instead of making resources. Am I right?"
"Yes, we cannot produce our own resources, that's why we rely on trades and the money that's given to us by the Feudal Lord." Hiruzen replied.
"Then, I alone can invade an entire Major Village and take all of the citizens there as laborers. We can then use them to make resources for us." Hikaru said with a smile on his face, as if the idea he just suggested is the most 'okay' thing to do.
Bam!
Hiruzen slammed his hands on his desk and yelled, "No! That's too barbaric! And wait, doesn't that sound a lot like slavery!?"
"Hah hah hah hah. Calm down, old man. That was just a joke." Hikaru laughed at his own joke.
"Brat!"
"Okay, okay, geez." Hikaru suddenly got more serious and the air in the room changed.
Hiruzen, sensing the air changing in the room, turned to what he called, 'The Hokage Mode'.
"As I said earlier, our village, Konoha, is a military village. Our main income comes from the Feudal Lord and the missions they are sending to us. Recently, I have made a wonderful discovery in my power that I can use to solve our money problem. I can create gold, and other stuff, like diamonds. I only discovered this a few days ago, so I still haven't created much but I hope this counts." As soon as he said that, suddenly, dozens upon dozens of gold bars came out of nowhere.
"I was gonna use these for my personal use, but I guess the village can have these gold bars." Hikaru said. He looked at the expression of Hiruzen and it was priceless. The poor old man couldn't even speak.
Hikaru could create these gold bars only because of his mana. To construct each of these gold bars, he had to have an equivalent mass of an object, which is why he used stones for equal mass. Thankfully, he studied enough chemistry to create these gold bars. That weird disembodied voice taught him this technique, saying that he shouldn't waste his time acquiring currency. Hikaru asked why he didn't just teach this to him earlier, and the disembodied voice only said that he forgot. This angered Hikaru, since he could've used all those times acquiring money grinding souls. It was truly such a waste. After that, Hikaru kept asking for the disembodied voice if he wanted to go at it. (Note: He meant fighting the voice. Crazy, right?)
He suddenly saw Hiruzen's soul leaving him but Hikaru just caught it back before putting it back in Hiruzen's body.
Hiruzen came back to life while panting and said, "I suddenly saw my wife and other dead family members waving at me from across from a river. What happened?"
"You almost died." HIkaru's short answer to his question.
"Ah, that makes sense. Anyway, since you have a lot of these golds, then our money problem is solved for a while. But can you create, I don't know, thousands of these?" Hiruzen said, he is completely calm right now.
"Of course, I'll give it to you tomorrow. It's quite easy to create, after all." Hikaru smiled as he said that, it seems as if he had something to request of Hiruzen.
Seeing that smile, Hiruzen gulped and said, "Fine, I'll let you go to Sunagakure along with Azumi. But, just protect her at all cost. The Kazekage and his children are going home a week from now, we've had our talk. It seems like they are just bonding with each other."
"Family bonding in another village, the Kazekage must be tired of what's happening in his village. If this was any other village, they would've been dead." Hikaru said.
"Don't be too harsh on them, they've had their fair share of troubles too. Unlike Konoha, they have no godlike child that can do basically anything to save them from disasters. I think right now, they're currently experiencing a shortage of water and food." Hiruzen said.
"More reasons to go back to his village, is it not?" Hikaru said with a slight narrow of eyes.
Hiruzen sighed and said, "Just let them be, Suna is no longer a threat to us."
"Anyway, the people I've brought in can have citizenship of Konoha, right?" Hikaru asked.
"Yes, It's better than leaving them alone. But they will have to stay in tents for a while until we've built enough houses for them." Hiruzen replied.
Hikaru just shook his head and said, "No, I'll take care of their shelters myself."
"That's fine, if you do not have any matter to speak of now, you can leave." Hiruzen said.
"Hai, hai, old man." With that, Hikaru vanished in thin air.
"Disrespectful brat." Hiruzen muttered.
(A Day Later)
With an equivalent object's mass, Hikaru can create anything. Well, not really anything. Just any mortal objects, like jewels or something.
The only thing Hikaru did all day was find large stone rocks to transmute to gold. After doing all that, he managed to create thousands of gold bars. Of course, he did it all in a secret place, so that no one could see it. If the public comes to know about this ability of his, there is no doubt that countless people from other countries would be coming for him.
After storing all of that gold bars in his storage box, he went straight to Hiruzen. Knowing that the Hokage's office cannot hold that many gold bars, Hikaru and Hiruzen met up in a secret warehouse somewhere in Konoha and in there, Hikaru gave all the gold bars he'd created to Hiruzen.
The Sandaime was so shocked when he saw that many gold bars, he almost died again. Thankfully, Hikaru was there to put his soul back to his body, again.
Now, it's night. After all of that work, there was Tayuya, who had fully made herself as their maid. And then Azumi, who comforted his body all night. Tayuya changed her attitude only to Azumi and Hikaru, but not to other people. And then, there was Kin Tsuchi, who Hikaru had caught after seeing her. He also made her as their maid, but she was quite clumsy. So Hikaru just made her the bodyguard of the house. She's chunin level material, so she can protect their house quite well.
This is the life Hikaru had always wished for. A comfortable life, even for at least a moment.
Back then, he had no freedom. He was weak. But now, he's the strongest in this world. He is a demigod who could easily lift mountains and split the seas. He could slaughter an entire Major Village and they wouldn't be able to do anything, because he is strong.
Strength and power are what's important in every world. Hikaru has both of them, a privilege given to him by the system.
He will never forget this, the system has given him everything he could ever ask for. But he wonders, where are the other two who used the system before him? And why would they refuse the system? There must be reasons and he wants to find it out, no matter what.
Gazing at his ceiling as Azumi comfortably slept on his chest, a slight thought of his former came to his mind. The world he had long forgotten, the world he came from, the world he cursed, Earth. He will never return there, not until he's powerful enough to destroy a world with a snap of his fingers. Growing stronger and finding out the mysteries behind the other two before him are missions he dedicated to himself.
Zain and Kiran, his senpais.
He rose his hand up in the air meaninglessly and thought, 'Where are you two? Will I ever meet you two? I really don't know what happened, maybe an answer may come to me someday but it's certainly not now.'
He looked at his lover, Azumi, and said, "But right now, it doesn't matter. What matters is now." With a tender look on his face, he caressed her face with his hand before kissing her on the lips. She snuggled even further to his embrace as he did that.
(Meanwhile, back on Earth)
"Are you ready, everyone?" A beautiful girl shouted from the stage in front of her countless fans.
"""Yes!!""" Their collective response.
"Hai! The star Ena is now going to perform in front of her devoted fans! This is my thanks to you all!" The beautiful girl shouted.
Her long silky black hair shined under the stage's lights, her bright and beautiful eyes dazzled the audiences, her perfectly shaped face and body stole the affection of every male outside the stage. She wore a pretty pink coat and a white dazzling suit under it. She seems to be around the age of 16.
That's right, this is Hikaru's little sister, Ena, who's currently performing in front of thousands of her fans in a large stadium. She is now one of the most famous Idols in all of Japan.
'Nii-san, are you watching me right now? I've fulfilled my dream, to become a famous Idol. Continue watching me from there, I promise you, I'll be even more famous!' She promised inside her heart.
[To be continued…]
Ooh, what's this now? Hikaru's sister, Ena, has become a famous Idol!?
Don't confuse her to Hina. Hina is a 6 years old little girl, she is the youngest. Ena is 16, the middle child, while Hikaru is the oldest of them.
