56 Chap 56 - Returning Home.

After spending a few hours with Sakura sleeping in his arms, Ryuuji felt Ryumyaku's energy draining away.

The redhead gave Sakura a light kiss on the cheek and left her sleeping on the bed. After erasing his presence, Ryuuji went out the window.

Looking at Konoha below him, Ryuuji let out a sigh.

" This trip was really fun, but it feels like it's time to go back. "

As soon as Ryuuji finished speaking, three clones appeared beside him.

Ryuuji removed the scrolls from his clones and stored them in his storage space.

Ryuuji wouldn't miss an opportunity to steal futuristic technology. The information taken from the Villages would certainly be of great use to him and Orochimaru.

A few seconds later, Ryuuji felt his body pass through a space between realities.

When he noticed his surroundings again, Ryuuji was back in his timeline, in the ruins where Ryumyaku was before it was absorbed by him.

Yawning, Ryuuji opened a portal to his house.

…

Benihime, seeing the black space that appeared in her room, moved her body without a second thought.

When Ryuuji came out of the portal, he felt a short blade touch his neck.

When Benihime saw it was Ryuuji, she let out a sigh.

" You never told me you could do this. "

Ryuuji smiled slightly and hugged his mother.

" I learned recently, my dear. "

Benihime smiled and kissed Ryuuji.

The two kissed for a few minutes, until Ryuuji felt Hikari coming down the stairs.

The redhead turned away from his mother and looked at his daughter, who was scratching her eyes from sleep.

" Daddy? Where were you? Why do I feel like you were having fun and didn't take me with you? "

Ryuuji let a laugh escape his lips and picked up his daughter in his arms.

"Don't worry, Hikari-chan…Daddy will take you to play tomorrow, how about that? "

Hikari smiled and laid her head on her father's chest, letting sleep take over her.

Ryuuji and Benihime went back to bed and soon the little family was asleep again.

…

As the world was still facing the post-war lull, time passed smoothly for Ryuuji and his family.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye and if anyone asked Ryuuji, he would answer that what changed the most was himself.

But it wasn't his mind that changed, it was his body.

As Ryuuji's age went beyond adolescence and into adulthood, his body began a major process of maturing.

The truth is that today, at 16, Ryuuji looks like a grown man. The red-haired man was almost 6'4" and had an amount of muscle that made everyone feel a little intimidated in his presence.

Ryuuji's face has also matured a lot, leaving him with a fully matured look.

Like Ryuuji, the Land of Whirlpools has also undergone major changes over time, with the main indicator being the new railway lines that were being built in the country.

Ryuuji and Miroku have worked hard over the past three years, acting as a bridge between the two now neighboring and allied countries. Ryuuji is always very pleased when he sees the groups of capable people who are trained in his country's educational institution.

As the demand for trained employees is still very high, each person who becomes professional is already sent directly to their specific area, mainly in the field of civil construction and electrical engineering, which are the areas that most impact the construction of the rail network in the Land of Whirlpools

The only thing Ryuuji lacks to feel that his country is ready for the future is territory and small population. Despite not being the smallest country in the world, The Land of Whirlpools is also not very large and its population density is among the worst in the world.

But for this problem, Ryuuji already had a solution.

…

Mikoto, who was now a very beautiful adult woman, looked at Ryuuji with a hint of surprise.

" You want me to do what? "

Ryuuji pointed again to the map on his desk and repeated his words to the black-haired woman:

" I want you to lead 2,000 shinobi and take control of Nagi Island. In addition to being a place very close to our country, it's a place with no prospects for the future. I want to annex Nagi Island to our territory. "

Mikoto looked at the map quickly before turning her gaze to Ryuuji:

" I understand what your objective is, but Nagi Island doesn't even have an army of Shinobi. Do we really need 2,000 shinobis for such a simple mission? "

" We really don't need to. I'm sure you could take the place on your own, but that would be like telling our shinobi that we don't need them. "

Mikoto nodded her head slightly. The woman smiled and rose from her chair. She walked slowly to Ryuuji's chair and sat on the man's lap.

" I'll do it, Ryuuji-kun…but I want a reward! "

Ryuuji smiled and hugged Mikoto's body.

Mikoto, still with a mature smile on her face, turned her body around, putting her face in front of Ryuuji's.

" I'll take a portion of my bounty in advance. "

The next moment, the two started kissing, filling Ryuuji's office with laughter and wet kissing noises.

…

A few minutes after Mikoto left his office, he pulsed his chakra at a specific frequency.

A few seconds later, a red bolt appeared in front of the man, showing the image of Morgiana.

" Quick as always, Morgiana. "

Morgiana, who had also grown into a mature woman, looked at her Young Master, who was now no longer young, and smiled.

Seeing Morgiana smile, Ryuuji nodded in satisfaction. Morgiana certainly hasn't just matured physically.

" Ryuuji-sama…I'm still a long way from being as fast as you.

Ryuuji smiled.

" I'll no longer urge you not to compare yourself to me…anyway, let that matter aside, I need you to do something for me. "

Ryuuji pointed to the country that was to the southwest of his country.

" I want you to lead 1500 shinobi and take control of Land of the Sea. The people and the territory present there are important for the future of our country. "

Unlike Mikoto, who was a little surprised by Ryuuji's words, Morgiana just looked at her aim before accepting Ryuuji's request as an order.

" I'll carry out your orders, Ryuuji-sama. How much time do I have to annex the Land of the Sea to our territory? "

" You don't have to rush things. Give our shinobi a week to prepare and then we can move on. For now, why don't you come a little closer to me so we can discuss something more…private? "

Morgiana blushed slightly and walked over to Ryuuji.

"Y-Young master, we shouldn't do this kind of thing in your office! "

Ryuuji chuckled at the way Morgiana was always shy when dealing with him.

" In the Land of Whirlpools, I'm the ultimate authority…who's to say what I can and can't do in my office? "

With a quick movement of his hands, Ryuuji placed Morgiana on his lap. The redhead began kissing Morgiana's fragrant neck, making her shiver under his care.

" Ahn~~ Young M-Master, don't be so anxious…"

…

After Morgiana escaped from Ryuuji's clutches, the redhead accelerated the speed with which he worked in the office and at that moment, he was heading home.

In recent years, her grandmother Mito and the other girls have moved into the patriarch's mansion.

The three girls already considered themselves Ryuuji's women and didn't want to continue living alone, and Mito just didn't want to live alone when she could live with her family.

Konan also decided to move in with Ryuuji, under the guise of having more time for training. Which also made the girl's mother move into the Patriarch's quarters.

When he was close to his house, Ryuuji was hit by a red rocket.

" Ryuu-nii, it's not fair! You gave Morgiana and Mikoto such fun quests. Why can't I lead an army too? "

Ryuuji looked at the fake tears in Kushina's eyes and rolled his eyes.

Her cousin, despite being younger than the other two girls, has also grown a lot in the last three years. If before she was a cute little brat, now she had become a peach about to ripen.

The truth is that if Benihime and Tsunade weren't very resilient to satiate Ryuuji's sexual desire, the redhead would have already attacked the three girls who grew up with him.

Changing the direction of his thoughts, Ryuuji looked into Kushina's watery eyes.

Ryuuji wiped the fake tear that was running down Kushina's cheek and smiled.

" It doesn't need so much drama…I promise your opportunity will come in the near future and when the opportunity does come, it will be much more fun than just taking the territory of weak countries. "

Kushina looked at Ryuuji with her big eyes and smiled mischievously.

" I knew Ryuu-nii would never let me go without fun! "

Kushina got carried away and started kissing Ryuuji's face. It didn't take long for the two to start kissing at the door of the mansion.

A few minutes later, a little red-haired girl came out the front door and yelled:

" Mommy! Kushina-nee is eating daddy again! "

Hearing Hikari's voice, Kushina paled and without thinking twice, she used the Hiraishin Mark on her room to escape Benihime's wrath.

Benihime only set one rule in her house:

No one can do any kind of perversion under Hikari's gaze. Even though she only needs to pay attention to one, Kushina always finds a way to not follow the rule.

Ryuuji smiled and walked over to his princess, who was growing up too fast for his liking.

The redhead took Hikari, who was now six years old, in his arms.

" How was your day, Daddy? "

" My day was very good, but now that I'm with you, it's been perfect. "

Hikari smiled and hid her face in her father's chest, not wanting him to see her reddened face.

…

Ryuuji and Hikari approached the dining room, where Benihime and Mito were finishing putting food on the table.

Mito looked at her grandson, who was about to sit down at the table, and patted his hand lightly.

" Don't set a bad example for Hikari-chan…go wash your hands! "

Ryuuji just smiled at his grandmother and apologized.

" Did you see it, Hikari-chan? We can't incur Mito-obaasan's or Mom's wrath…otherwise, we'll hear complaints nonstop. "

Hikari looked at her father and started to laugh.

" Daddy, no matter how strong you are, mommy will always boss you around! "

Ryuuji smiled wryly, not agreeing or refuting his daughter's words. In his mind, it's not worth arguing with Benihime or Mito. It was easier just to listen quietly.

Also, the redhead knew very well that the time to 'punish' Benihime was at dawn, after Hikari went to sleep.

Ryuuji stopped walking slightly and thought of something:

' Should I start using this method with grandma too? '

Hikari cocked her head to the side, not understanding why her father suddenly stopped walking and went silent.

Ryuuji and Hikari washed their hands in preparation for dinner, and during that time, Ryuuji couldn't help but think about how practical it would be to show his grandmother some love as well.
