Chapter 55 - Chapter 55: Marriage Alliance and an Illegitimate Child

Is this reasonable?

Did Sasuke and Naruto really not hold back at all?

Nojuro Ryun thought it over carefully and felt it was somewhat reasonable.

From Asura and Indra, to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, hadn't the reincarnations of the Sage of Six Paths' sons always been locked in this cycle of love and strife?

Sasuke and Naruto were merely continuing their destined fate.

Or, in a certain sense, this was the most normal outcome.

The fact that Sasuke and Naruto reached a reconciliation was actually the rare miracle achieved over countless years.

Ryun sighed quietly, only able to lament that the impact of Team Seven's split was simply too great.

And Naruto and Sasuke's deaths were just the beginning.

Because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki did not appear, the ninja world was still unaware of the Ōtsutsuki clan problem.

Even though the Ōtsutsuki clan would descend upon the ninja world in droves in just over a decade, the ninjas of the present world were still thinking about fighting a civil war...

How should he resolve everything before him?

In any case, Ryun currently had no solution whatsoever.

Perhaps in the future he could possess Six Paths-level power, so even if Naruto and Sasuke died, he could single-handedly turn the tide.

But for now, Ryun could only choose to give up and do nothing.

Of course, Ryun could also hold onto some hope for the future reincarnations of Asura and Indra.

Perhaps they would stand up when the Ōtsutsuki clan descended, protecting this war-torn ninja world just as Naruto and Sasuke sealed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

But Ryun probably wouldn't live to see that scene.

[Severely damaged by Sasuke's attack, Konoha was forced to consider how to survive the upcoming Great Ninja War.]

[The newly appointed Sixth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, decided to form a marriage alliance with Sunagakure to solidify their alliance, and dispatched envoys to Sunagakure to discuss potential candidates for the marriage.]

Ryun, who had just been ready to give up, straightened his posture. Did his simulation, which seemed destined to be a total failure from start to finish, now have a chance for a dramatic turnaround?

Even though the entire ninja world was visibly beyond saving, before the Ōtsutsuki clan destroyed it, he should still be able to leave behind descendants.

Thinking this, Ryun finally felt the desire to exchange for a simulation chance.

[Gaara decided that Sunagakure should proceed with the marriage alliance with Konoha. The notable candidates Sunagakure could offer at this time were Gaara's three siblings and you yourself. Gaara, as the Kazekage, naturally could not be part of the marriage alliance. Temari strongly opposed marrying into Konoha herself, and recommended her brother Kankurō instead.]

[After some discussion, only you and Kankurō remained as candidates from Sunagakure. Konoha naturally listed suitable female ninjas of appropriate age, including: Haruno Sakura, Shizune, Hyūga Hinata, and Mitarashi Anko.]

Ryun blinked, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

Shizune and Mitarashi Anko were one thing, at least they were disciples of the Sannin, so their status was sufficient.

But why was Hinata also listed... he almost forgot, Naruto was already dead.

Thus, Hinata's position within the Hyūga Clan became very awkward. With her strength inferior to her younger sister's, she would likely be stripped of her status as heir.

If Hyūga Hiashi did not want Hinata to be branded with the Caged Bird Seal, his only option was probably to send Hinata to Sunagakure, to be protected by Sunagakure's leadership.

Unfortunately, Ryun currently could not possibly choose Hyūga Hinata no matter what, because once he used a simulation chance, he had to obtain a useful result.

Although Hinata's Byakugan and bloodline were very tempting, it would be better to wait until he collected her pheromones.

Having reasoned this through, Ryun exchanged for a simulation chance and activated the guidance. The simulation once again began operating according to Ryun's line of thinking.

[After further deliberations, Sunagakure ultimately chose you for the marriage alliance, as Kankurō himself believed he couldn't harmoniously coexist with these Konoha ninjas.]

[Your proposal was also approved by Konoha. So, in the turbulent year 69 of Konoha's calendar, the Daimyō of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire presided over your wedding ceremony in Konoha with full state honors, solidifying the unshakeable alliance between the two nations.]

[At the wedding, Sakura wept, hugging you tightly and refusing to let go. Tsunade got you drunk, and before you completely lost consciousness, she whispered in your ear, 'Mission accomplished. I've entrusted the Sakura I raised to you.']

[That night was a long one for you, and also a noisy one. You only remember achieving marital harmony with Sakura; the rest was buried under the influence of alcohol.]

[Afterward, Sakura followed you to live in Sunagakure. After several years of your diligent governance, Sunagakure had already become greener and much more livable, a change Sakura appreciated.]

[For the next ten months, you and Sakura intensively studied medical ninjutsu together. Sakura told you that Tsunade permitted her to teach you all of her medical ninjutsu, but unfortunately, due to your lack of innate talent, you were still unable to learn it.]

[However, you had gained a deep understanding of all of Tsunade's medical ninjutsu; only the innate talent was lacking.]

[In Konoha year 70, Sakura gave birth to a daughter for you. Sakura named her Nojuro Ren.]

[That same year, Temari gave birth to a son for you at the Sunagakure Ninja Temple. She named her son Masago. Congratulations on having an illegitimate child.]

[Congratulations, you have completed the simulation. Calculating the simulation results for you...]

Wait a minute!

Ryun's eyes widened in shock, and he coughed violently in his agitation.

When did he have an illegitimate child? How did he not know... Could it be from that wedding night when he was ambushed?

And after Temari's belly grew, how could no one have noticed... Could she have been hiding in the Sunagakure Ninja Temple the whole time?

The more Ryun thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. One could only say, as expected of Temari, doing something entirely in character.

Thinking this, Ryun sighed quietly.

Fortunately, this was all just a simulation. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face Sakura's iron fists.

Judging by the simulation, with Ryun's Jonin-level strength, he really might not be Sakura's match.

Ryun slowly calmed his emotions, but also grew excited.

He had now proven one thing: he could indeed leave behind offspring with another girl within a simulation focused on a specific girl.

As long as the children were born in the same year, the system seemed to settle them together.

Although this was somewhat immoral... but it was just a simulation!

Currently, facing Danzo's targeting, he urgently needed to improve his strength. This was a necessary evil.

The remaining crucial point was: could Temari and his child, Masago, provide Ryun with rewards?

Soon the answer came, exactly as Ryun had expected.

[Notification: As you have not collected Temari's pheromones, Masago's talent cannot be calculated. Unfortunately, you cannot receive a reward.]

[Congratulations. Nojuro Ren has inherited most of your and Haruno Sakura's talents. She shows modest talent in multiple nature transformations and modest talent in chakra sensing, possessing the aptitude of an Elite Jonin. Her detailed values are as follows.]

[Ninjutsu 7, Taijutsu 7, Genjutsu 7, Intelligence 8, Strength 7, Speed 7, Spirit 6, Hand Seals 8. Special Talents: Intermediate Earth, Water, Yin, and Yang Release talent. Low-level Chakra Sensing talent.]

[Save the simulation result and use this bloodline talent as the simulation reward?]

[Note: Saving this result will automatically grant you a third save slot.]
