It was finally going to happen, wasn't it?
Moegi was still young, which gave Ryun a long period to develop, but it also meant Moegi needed a long time to grow up.
Currently, in the simulation, it was already Konoha year 69, yet Moegi was only 13 years old.
[You proactively applied to become the jonin leader of Moegi's team. This decision surprised Kakashi, and he asked you why. You told him that you liked Moegi. Kakashi was so shocked he fell off his desk, looking at you as if you were a monster.]
[He really wanted to complain: You had already made Kurenai and Anko pregnant, and you were passionately in love with Ino, so why did you have to set your sights on Moegi too? You glared at him, indicating that he shouldn't interfere and should just do as asked.]
[After thinking it over for a moment, Kakashi still agreed to your request, and even directly gave you the status of a jonin. He couldn't understand your thoughts and actions, but this wasn't strange, because Tsunade had also experienced the same situation.]
[However, the things you did were quite profound, always providing tremendous help to Konoha later on. Because of this, the Hokage's office had long established a principle for dealing with you: as long as your requests weren't excessive, they would be fully accommodated.]
Ryun grinned, a little envious of why his simulated self had such a good mental state.
But he understood immediately afterward.
His simulated self was the version of him who had loafed around Konoha for five years—the kind of leisure that came with total ease.
He didn't even give face to Tsunade, let alone someone like Kakashi? Even if Kakashi disagreed, Ryun would find his own way to do things. This was the confidence brought by strength and achievements.
The real-world Ryun, however, had only just begun to possess enough power to protect himself; naturally, he couldn't yet completely transform into the kind of personality his simulated self had, the one who didn't take any nonsense.
But this was also a good thing. If he developed that personality in reality, it would most likely ruin things due to arrogance and conceit.
[When you appeared before Moegi, she could hardly believe her eyes. Then she threw herself into your arms, because she realized that for a long time to come, she would be spending every day with you. Moegi's excited and passionate appearance left Konohamaru and Udon dumbfounded.]
[As per usual, you took the three of them to start the bell test. Unfortunately, because Moegi's strength was clearly above Konohamaru's and Udon's, in the end, Moegi managed to get both bells from you. A dejected Konohamaru and Udon were about to go back to the Academy to redo things, but Moegi gave the two bells to them.]
[Amidst their surprised gazes, Moegi explained: She could actually become a medical ninja, but Konohamaru and Udon were more suited to be real ninjas. Seeing this, you came forward, acknowledged their spirit of teamwork, and declared all three of them had passed.]
Seeing this, Ryun really wanted to complain.
Was this bell test going to continue until the end of time?
But considering that Konohamaru was the formal heir of the Hokage lineage, and if something happened to Naruto in the future like in the original storyline, Konohamaru would be a strong candidate for the next Hokage, then making Konohamaru do the bell test was reasonable after all.
The Will of Fire, right!
[In the following two years, you led Moegi and the others starting from D-rank missions, all the way up to successfully challenging an S-rank mission. After guiding them through the Chunin Exams, you announced that your time as a team leader was over.]
[It was now Konoha year 71. Nojuro Kurenai and Nojuro Nuo Mi had already been born, and Ino was also pregnant. Therefore, you were about to hold weddings with three people. Such a unique wedding naturally caused a sensation in Konoha and even the Land of Fire, but when everyone heard that the protagonist was you, they all became understanding.]
[Over the past few years, your reputation had spread throughout the ninja world. Skilled and powerful, romantically charming, exceptionally talented in literature, and even a shrewd businessman and a great tycoon. You had become the prince charming in the hearts of countless girls in the ninja world. It wasn't strange for such a man to marry several wives.]
[Moegi, however, fell into depression because of this. Through more than two years of companionship, under your deliberate care and affection, Moegi had developed a budding love for you. But she didn't know how to handle these feelings, nor did she know if she should be developing feelings for you.]
Ryun took a deep breath, ready to provide guidance at any moment. This was a critical juncture; if he missed it, this simulation would be declared a failure.
Fortunately, at this moment, Ryun in the simulation was already a veteran among veterans.
If he was willing to be a jonin team leader for two years for Moegi, how could he possibly miss the chance to build a relationship with her at this critical moment?
[One day, Moegi was surprised to find that her family's Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House had reopened. It turned out that after the last Konoha destruction, although the Hot Spring House was rebuilt with Yamato's help, Kazamatsuri Maki had chosen to retire.]
[Moegi also had no desire to manage the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House, so she chose to close it down. Now, seeing the "Open" sign, Moegi felt as if she were in a dream. She walked into the shop, and you, dressed as the shop owner, asked Moegi: "Miss, are you here for a hot spring or to stay for the night?"]
[Moegi immediately burst into laughter, asking you what kind of joke this was. But you, with a straight face, produced a letter of entrustment from Kazamatsuri Maki, proving that you were henceforth the owner of the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House. Moegi stared blankly at you, asking you why.]
[You took Moegi's hand and led her to the room you had once stayed in. Here, you had left many memories, like teaching Moegi to read, watching soap operas with her, and sometimes Moegi even falling asleep on you, drooling onto your clothes.]
[You recounted these little memories one by one; Moegi's face alternately blushed with shyness and showed signs of being moved. She no longer knew how to face you. Finally, you stated the reason you rebuilt the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House: As an orphan, you had never felt the warmth of a home, and Moegi was like a little sister to you.]
[You didn't want to lose Moegi as a sister; you wanted to become family with her again. But you didn't know what Moegi thought. Now, by rebuilding the Kazamatsuri Hot Spring House, you hoped Moegi would return to this home that felt warm and full of memories for both of you.]
[Now, the chance to choose was placed before Moegi. Would she choose to become your sister, or become something else to you?]
Ryun took a deep breath. This chance encounter arranged by his simulated self was indeed touching enough... but wouldn't this really turn lovers into siblings?
Or did his simulated self think that even if they became siblings now, it wouldn't matter, and they could continue developing later on?
After all, it was just a verbal sibling relationship; such a term could easily turn into "lover boy" and "darling sister" at any time, right?
[Moegi understood your intention, especially when you held her hand, wrapped your arm around her waist, and pulled her into your lap as you sat down. She knew very well there was only one answer she could give.]
Seeing this, Ryun almost choked. His simulated self had really turned into a real playboy, huh? But considering that by now he already had so many good qualities, diligently and sincerely pursuing Moegi really didn't seem to fit his style.
[Konoha year 71, you held a joint wedding with Kurenai, Anko, and Ino. Moegi served as the leader among the bridesmaids. During the wedding, Ino tossed the bouquet backward. Moegi eagerly scrambled and caught it, then blushed as she looked in your direction.]
[Ino noticed the clandestine affair between you two. After the wedding, she, along with Kurenai and Anko, the three women, jointly launched a "sanction" against you. Unfortunately, you, disregarding martial honor, activated your Yin Seal, causing Kurenai and Anko to faint, and even exhausting Ino to the point she couldn't speak.]
[The next day, you held the three of them and had a long talk, telling them you couldn't lose Moegi, this sister who had grown up with you since childhood. Ino teased you for not even sparing your little sister, but still tacitly allowed you to begin your pursuit of Moegi. After all, the three of them couldn't satisfy you anyway.]
[So, witnessed by the people of Konoha, you and Moegi became lovers again. The people of Konoha had become accustomed to this by now. Even Ino, heavily pregnant, and Moegi had become good friends. What more could they, as outsiders, possibly say?]
Seeing this, Ryun originally thought the simulation would end here.
But what happened next surprised him.
[Konoha year 75, Moegi became pregnant with your child, and you were about to hold your wedding. On the night before the wedding, Tenten, Sakura, and Hinata came to you together. After getting drunk, they asked you, since you could even accept Moegi, why couldn't you accept them?]
[You asked them in return: If you did accept them, could they coexist harmoniously with the others? The three women didn't answer immediately; their hesitation showed their true feelings. In the end, they offered you and Moegi their blessings and chose to leave.]
[Konoha year 76, your and Moegi's son was born. You named him Nojuro Yuwa.]
