Overlord Empress - Chapter 76 RETURN

Mount Myoboku, at the peak of the highest mountain range, there is a large worn out hut. Just few feet away from the hut, a blonde middle age man is seated in a meditating position. He has whiskers running on his face and is dressed in greyed out monk robes. This middle aged person is Naruto Uzumaki, 6th and last hokage of Konohagakure and the strongest sage on Kaguya world.

20 years after the formation of the Shinobi front, almost all the Hidden villages decided to cancel the kage system. Instead representatives were elected from these hidden villages and other countries to represent them in Shinobi front.

Naruto also stayed in Konohagakure until Hinata passed away, after that he handed the reins of Namikaze- Uzumaki clan properties to his descendants and settled in Mount Myoboku. This is the only place after Konohagakure, where he felt at peace. He spent most of his time in cultivation and helping the shinobi front when they needed it. Every 20 years Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto will gather in Uzushiogakure to recollect about their past and well doing.

Training in solitude away from the worldly affairs, helped his cultivation progress by a lot. Today also he was training in front of his old hut, when he sensed someone extremely powerful breaking into Mount Myoboku. Unless you have a toad summoning contract, no one is allowed inside.

Only after stretching his soul sense to cover the entire Mount Myoboku, did he spot the intruder. But when he recognized the identity of the intruder, he quickly stood up and vanished from that place in a yellow flash.

“Elder sister”- Naruto

The intruder is none another than Ichika, who arrived here after finishing her dinner. But as soon as she appeared here, within seconds, she found herself being hugged by Naruto, who started to cry like a child.

“Long time Naruto Kun. Looks like you didn’t become lazy with your training”- Ichika

Naruto only stopped his crying after 5 minutes and then returned back to his goofy character. Both of them started walking towards his hut and started to share their stories and adventures.

“Elder sister, why did you come here?”- Naruto

“I came back to take all the Uchiha members and my family to the higher world with me. I already informed the clan members,now I am here to tell you the news and take me with you”- Ichika

Naruto was more than happy as Ichika still treated him as a part of her family.

“Sister thanks for the offer, it is also getting lonely for me here. But if the Uchiha clan will move out from this world, it will destroy the power balance on shinobi continent. It won’t be long, before we will have power struggle again.”- Naruto

Ichika was impressed by Naruto’s quick thinking, he really showed his past experience of Hokage.

“Naruto, there is no need to worry about the Uchiha clan or the power balance. I just gave them a order and chance, because they are my clan members. But do you think, they all will agree to follow me to a place filled with dangers and struggle again from the beginning?The Uchiha clan are no longer the war clan like in the past,they have grown accustomed to peace and leisurely life. Also, here on this world, they have enough strength to protect themselves and are treated with respect or worship. So majority of them will instead chose to stay back on this world.

While the direct line of the Uchiha main family members will follow me, it will also provide a golden opportunity to most of the power hungry fools in the clan to climb higher ranks.They would rather be the head of a chicken, than the tail of a dragon. So I don’t have high hopes for majority of them following me.

There will only be some fights among clan members for clan head position, but apart from that there won’t be any major problem with the shinobi front. Just in case, I will leave behind 100 White Zetsu clones behind. With their cultivation levels, they can easily suppress any fights on the continent and will be able to maintain peace.”- Ichika

Naruto was shocked at Ichika words. He thought he grew up a lot in the last thousand years, but he was still a novice, when it came to reading other people.As for the strength of White Zetsu clones, he was clearly familiar with them. After the war on the mighty ocean, the whole world forgot about their existence with time. But close to 90000 white clones are still cultivating in the forbidden zone of Uzushiogakure. One or two white clones appeared in the past to help carry out dangerous missions. With more than 100 of them, only fools will look to cause trouble on this continent.

Ichika and Naruto spent the entire night chatting with each other and when the sun rose up, he quickly bid goodbye to all the toads of Mount Myoboku and arrived with Ichika at the main courtyard of Uchiha clan.

The entire family had a quick breakfast and waited till noon for the departure time. When it was time, apart from the main family and 3 more members of the clan, most of them decided to stay back. But they all came to bid goodbye to the main family. As she already discussed about this during breakfast, none of them showed any surprise.

“Today marks the end of Uchiha main family line on this world. So you can freely choose the next leader by yourselves. We already passed the property papers of all the business and Industries under Uchiha clan to the shinobi front. But you all will still maintain your positions, jobs and personal shares. Uzushiogakure will still remain the domain of Uchiha clan.”- Ichika

No one expected this move from the main family. With the majority of the industries transferred to the shinobi front, they will lose most of their power and influence. Now they have to depend on the Shinobi front for royalties. So most of them started to raise their voices at Fugaku and the others. Ichika suppressed all these voices, by releasing a part of her aura.

“I know what you all are thinking. But the main family owns more than 70% of the rights with the properties of the clan. The remaining 30% was pooled together by the members of the clan. We made sure that these members and their descendants will receive their money according to the profits in the future. So there is no need for you all to cause trouble here.

Also don’t think of fighting with the Shinobi front for the properties, after our departure. I am leaving few of the white clones behind to take care of any trouble makers in the future.”- Ichika

Ichika words were like pouring cold water on most of them and their ambitions. With white clones around, they have no opportunity to retrieve these properties in the future.

As for the 3 members who chose to follow Ichika were happy about their decision. These 3 are also from the same family. Widow and her two children.

Exactly at noon time, Ichika spotted Kaguya in Kumogakure with her soul sense. She used Yomotsu Hirasaka to arrive beside her. Kaguya was surprised at the sudden arrival of Ichika

“So, what’s your decision? Do you still want to remain here?”- Ichika

“Nope. There is no need for my presence here.The people are living in harmony and learnt to help each other to grow together. Also I have a strong Gut feeling that, I will miss out on something huge if I don’t follow you”- Kaguya

“Good. But before that let me tell you something about Zetsu. Even after thousand years of your sealing, he faithfully tried to unseal you by recruiting powerful shinobi and making lot of plans. Sadly, he failed in his mission because of me. But because of the respect, I had towards him, I decided to spare his life. But if he has to choose between death, freeing you and his own life, he will prefer death instead. So I had to forcefully wipe out your memories from his mind and replaced them with mine. So he will not recognize who you are actually at the moment”- Ichika

“Well, it is ok with me. I only created him at the last moments before my sealing. Apart from giving him mission to unseal me, I don’t have any feelings towards him.”- Kaguya

“Good. Then I will hold onto your words. Zetsu is like a family to me now. For the past few million years he was by side, helping me through many ups and downs in my life. So I don’t want to fight you regarding him”- Ichika

Kaguya never expected such frankness and seriousness from Ichika. She only created Zetsu as a toy to help her, but never expected him to become such integral part of Ichika’s family. She is clearly and openly warning her to stay away from Zetsu.

“Sigh, but if I am going to stay with you, then how are you going to introduce me to him?”- Kaguya

“No matter what, I am your descendant, making you my ancestor. So I will give you my complete respect as an ancestor and you will also introduce yourselves as my ancestor to him. “- Ichika

Complete respect towards an ancestor? But few seconds ago why did I sense killing intent from you then?

“It is ok with me”- Kaguya

Ichika wrapped Kaguya with her soul sense and then they both returned to the main family courtyard. Her parents and others were surprised at seeing Kaguya, as they never met her. Only after Ichika revealed them about her, did they recognize her.

Because of Ichika, they learnt the complete story of Kaguya, so they don’t have any fear or hatred towards her. They quickly accepted her as their ancestor and paid their respects to her.

Ichika took few more minutes to take in the sights of Kaguya world, before wrapping all of her family members with her soul sense. Fugaku, Mikoto, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Sarada, Izumi, Kanna, Haru, Kaguya and the 3 clan members all arrived on the Navigation room.

They were completely blown away by the miniature world of Chaos world and the beauty of it. After a short explanation from Ichika, they understood how vast the chaos world is and determined themselves to become stronger in the future.

As before, Ichika summoned the imaginary world of Monster world with a thought. But this time, it took more than 20% of her energy reserves, before she arrived inside the royal palace.
