[Deidara: Hahaha! The Jashin really is dead! Nice job, Nagi!]
[Hidan: Impossible! How could Lord Jashin—!! Pffft!]
[Kakuzu: Hm. Deidara, you're right. This idiot fainted again.]
[Deidara: Of course he did, yeah.]
[Minato Namikaze: Still, thinking about it… if Nagi hadn't become an immortal, dealing with Jashin would've been extremely difficult.]
[Orochimaru: Indeed. This Jashin was essentially the embodiment of the "malice within the hearts of living beings." In a sense, it was also a form of nature's punishment… a calamity born from life itself.]
[Jiraiya: Sigh… If Nagi hadn't been there, we probably would've all died at the hands of that Jashin.]
[Tsunade: Looking at it that way, this kid is practically a savior sent to us by the heavens.]
[Kushina Uzumaki: Exactly! Both Jashin and the Ōtsutsuki are disasters that could wipe us out. Nagi has always stood against them and protected us. If that's not a savior, what is?]
[Mei Terumi: Mm, agreed.]
[Shizune Kato: +1]
[Mikoto Uchiha: +1]
[…]
[Person No. N: +1]
[The screen continues…]
After the Cloud shinobi who had been killed by the Jashin were revived, Nagi lowered his hand.
"Alright. All the Cloud ninja who died in this battle have now been revived."
Hearing this, the Cloud shinobi looked at one another in disbelief.
The Fourth Raikage, A, stepped forward and bowed deeply to Nagi.
"I apologize for my earlier doubts and disrespect. And thank you for bringing my brothers back to life. We of Kumogakure will never forget this great kindness."
"Thank you!" ×N
The Cloud shinobi all bowed together in gratitude.
Nagi lightly raised his hand, and an invisible force gently lifted A and the others back to their feet.
"It's fine. That monster was called Jashin. Eliminating it was already one of my objectives. Right now, the priority should be recalling the evacuated villagers and rebuilding Kumogakure."
Nagi looked toward the Hidden Cloud Village.
After the intense battle, the village had suffered massive destruction. The main battlefield at the Valley of Clouds and Lightning had been reduced to a landscape of craters and deep ravines.
A nodded, then instructed Dodai and the others to contact Mabui and the rest.
At that moment, Samui and Shizuka walked over to Nagi. They curiously circled around him, touching here and there as they examined him.
"So amazing… It feels like Nagi has become a completely different person."
"Yeah. His skin looks even smoother and more radiant now… I'm kind of jealous."
Seeing Samui freely touching Nagi, A and Darui nearly had heart attacks.
"Um… Nagi. Samui is normally a very calm and excellent shinobi. She's probably just curious right now."
"Y-Yes, please forgive her."
"?"
Nagi tilted his head, then quickly realized the misunderstanding. Smiling gently, he took Samui and Shizuka's hands.
"I forgot to introduce them. Samui and Shizuka are both my girlfriends. Please take care of them in the future."
"Oh? Oh!"
Cee and the others immediately reacted.
"Please take care of us as well."
Good grief.
The eternal ice queen of their village was actually in a relationship—and with someone who seemed practically immortal. The Cloud ninja were so shocked they could barely process it.
There were quite a few Earth Release users in Kumogakure. Combined with their naturally powerful physiques, rebuilding houses was no difficult task.
Thus, the reconstruction of the Hidden Cloud Village began rapidly.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning…
Nagi sat cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed. After a while, he slowly opened them.
"Found it."
Hearing this, Shizuka and Samui immediately looked delighted.
"Nagi, did you find the world where Naruko and the others are?"
"Yes."
Nagi nodded and spread his arms.
"Creation of All Things — Universal Pull."
Brilliant seven-colored light radiated from his hands, spreading across the entire shinobi world…
After some time, Nagi lowered his arms and spoke to the two women.
"I just used gravitational force to begin drawing that other shinobi world closer to ours.
"In about a few months, the two worlds will reach a delicate distance from each other. At that point, my space–time techniques will allow me to travel freely between them."
"That's amazing! Then we'll be able to see Naruko and the others again!" Shizuka jumped excitedly.
Samui was also happy, but she couldn't help feeling concerned.
"Nagi… if people from the two shinobi worlds discover each other's existence, could that cause conflict?"
Having lived through the Shinobi World War, Samui understood very well what people might do in pursuit of利益.
Nagi shook his head.
"That's why I said I'd keep them at a delicate distance. I've also placed restrictions between the two worlds. Aside from those I permit, almost no one will be able to travel between them."
Hearing this, Samui finally relaxed.
Then Nagi asked them,
"I'm heading back to Konoha now. Do you two want to come?"
Shizuka teased him with a grin.
"Hehe, Nagi. The current Konoha doesn't exactly have a place for me or Captain to stay. If we go there and have to stay at a hotel again, it'd feel kind of strange. So how about we just stay at your house?"
Nagi smiled.
"In that other world, you, the captain, and Uno stayed at my house quite often anyway."
The three of them laughed together.
Then Samui suddenly pulled Nagi into her arms and kissed him. After she was satisfied, their lips finally parted.
Samui said,
"I won't return to Konoha for now. Kumogakure has a mountain of problems to deal with after this disaster. Mabui and Cee must already be overwhelmed with work.
"And Nagi, I'll also help plan the laboratory base in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning, as well as the future development of the Land of Lightning."
After witnessing the unified rule established in Konoha in that other world, Samui had begun to grow dissatisfied with the fragmented nations of the current world.
She remembered Nagi once saying that the Valley of Clouds and Lightning was a perfect natural location for research.
So she intended to help him design the construction of his experimental base.
Moreover, if Nagi were to unify the world in the future, she wanted to start preparing the administrative groundwork for the Land of Lightning ahead of time.
Samui's words deeply moved Nagi.
Perhaps this was what Aunt Kushina meant by a "virtuous supporter."
(Kushina: What the hell? Did I just make a wedding dress for someone else!?)
This time, Nagi pulled Samui close and kissed her first. She responded passionately…
After a long while, their lips finally parted.
They gazed into each other's eyes as the atmosphere grew warm and intimate.
"Ahem."
Shizuka coughed loudly to remind them she was still there.
Samui smiled and looked at her.
"Shizuka, when you're in Konoha, make sure you take good care of Nagi."
"Of course, Captain! Leave it to me. I absolutely won't let any ill-intentioned women get close to Nagi."
Shizuka patted her chest confidently, causing quite a dramatic bounce.
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Nagi first took Shizuka to the office in Nadeshiko Village.
After Shizuka gave some instructions to Tokiwa, she also went to visit her master.
Along the way, however, Nagi's extraordinary aura attracted a crowd of well-endowed women from Nadeshiko Village.
At that moment, Shizuka displayed the domineering presence of a village leader and successfully persuaded them to back off.
Still, she couldn't resist teasing Nagi.
"Nagi, if you ever want a huge harem, the kunoichi of Nadeshiko Village are all available."
"Please spare me."
After a while, watching Nagi and Shizuka walking hand in hand, Kagami-ryū smiled as she chatted happily with the two of them.
