Naruto: My Hiddden Village

Having glided through the tree roots far beneath the earth at lightning speed, Tsubasa arrived back in the hidden valley, his home.

Underground travel with Venom always felt unique, the fluid and unhindered sensation giving a feeling of both calmness and thrill. The darkness of the earth became a boundless canvas for his movements, the subterranean world seeming to welcome him as part of itself.

Tsubasa emerged silently beneath his simple wooden house, then immediately headed for the bathroom. The coppery scent of blood from the battlefield might still cling to his body, and he didn't want that smell disturbing the peace of the valley.

He wanted to cleanse himself of all stains and the stench of death, returning to being the usual Tsubasa, the boy loved and respected by his family.

After taking a warm bath and changing clothes, Tsubasa's stomach began to rumble loudly.

The hard work of absorbing corpses on the battlefield had indeed drained his energy. He felt extraordinary fatigue, but also satisfaction at having successfully completed his mission. The newfound power he gained with 'Venom' made him feel stronger and healthier.

He quickly went to his small, simple kitchen and started cooking a simple meal. In no time, the aroma of cooking filled the wooden house, awakening his appetite.

The scent of steaming rice, savory grilled fish, and warm miso soup, all of it was so tempting to his stomach.

As Tsubasa finished devouring his meal, a gentle knock sounded on his door. He put down his empty bowl and got up to open it.

He rose to open the door and was greeted by a sight that always made him smile: his three female subordinates standing before the door, each cradling their little angels.

Their faces, though tired, were happy, the soft smiles etched on their lips – all of it was a sight that always made Tsubasa feel a sense of home.

"Oh, look who's here!" Tsubasa exclaimed cheerfully, his eyes sparkling as he gazed at the three adorable babies. "Kotarou-kun, call me 'big brother'~ Big Brother Tsubasa~" Tsubasa tried to coax Kotarou, Kyoya's son, to call him that, while making funny and playful faces.

He was charmed by the innocence and naivety of the babies, their presence always managed to warm his heart.

Then he turned to Seiya, Benkei's son. "Seiya-kun, goo goo gaa gaa~" Tsubasa teased Seiya with cute hand gestures, making the baby giggle with delight. Seiya's tiny hands reached out towards Tsubasa, as if wanting to join in playing and joking with him.

Finally, his gaze fell on Yumi, Ginga's daughter. "Yumi-chan, peek-a-boo!" Tsubasa revealed his face from behind his hands, making Yumi laugh merrily and reach out to him.

Yumi was always the most active and expressive among the three babies, her bright smile always managed to melt Tsubasa's heart.

The three babies showed different reactions to Tsubasa's antics. Kotarou looked curious and tried to grab Tsubasa's hand, Seiya giggled and babbled happily, while Yumi laughed cheerfully and reached out her hand.

The sight warmed Tsubasa's heart, his fatigue and loneliness instantly evaporating. The babies' presence was a source of new happiness and hope for the Takagami clan.

While Tsubasa was busy teasing Yumi, Madoka, Ginga's wife, asked gently, "Tsubasa-sama, did you leave the valley this morning?" Madoka's question broke Tsubasa's absorption in playing with the babies.

"Yes, why?" Tsubasa asked back, diverting his attention from Yumi and looking at Madoka. "Did something happen while I was away?" He was worried that there was a problem or danger lurking in the valley during his mission.

"Nothing at all, Tsubasa-sama," Madoka replied with a smile. "It's just that Ginga and the others came knocking on your door this morning. Since there was no answer, they assumed Tsubasa-sama wasn't home." Madoka explained the reason for their visit, dispelling Tsubasa's worries.

"Oh, I see," Tsubasa nodded in understanding. "Did they need something from me?" He asked curiously, guessing what had made his three subordinates look for him this morning.

"Perhaps they wanted to ask for Tsubasa-sama's help regarding their ninjutsu training," Hotaru, Kyoya's wife, chimed in, while cradling Kotarou. Hotaru guessed the reason for their husbands' visit, recalling the burning spirit of ninjutsu training that had been in them lately.

"Oh… so they are training at the training grounds now?" Tsubasa asked again, while returning to teasing the three babies, this time making strange noises that made them laugh. He was curious to see the progress of his three subordinates' ninjutsu training.

"Yes, that's right, Tsubasa-sama," Ayame, Benkei's wife, replied, while cradling Seiya in her arms. Ayame confirmed Hotaru's guess, adding information about their husbands' whereabouts.

"But, is it really alright for Tsubasa-sama to go alone without taking any subordinates when leaving the valley? Tsubasa-sama is still under 12 years old, right?" Ayame looked worried about Tsubasa's safety. Her tone was full of concern and anxiety, reflecting her worry as a loyal subordinate.

Tsubasa smiled hearing Ayame's worry. "Yes, no need to worry. I'm strong enough now to protect myself," Tsubasa replied confidently. He wanted to reassure them that his strength had increased significantly, and he was capable of protecting himself from any danger.

"Besides, their presence as fathers is still very much needed by our three little angels. So, unless it's urgent, I won't give them missions, at least until these three children are 5 years old." Tsubasa deliberately emphasized the importance of parental roles for their young children. He wanted to ensure that the three babies received full affection and attention from their fathers, especially in their early stages of growth.

"But, that's precisely why they have been training even harder lately, Tsubasa-sama," Hotaru complained in a worried tone. "It seems they realize their lack of strength and want to become stronger and more useful to help Tsubasa-sama." Hotaru revealed the worries of their husbands, who felt powerless and wanted to do more to help Tsubasa.

"Oh…" Tsubasa fell silent for a moment, thinking. He understood the motivation of his three subordinates, but he also had a different view of their current priorities. "But, in my opinion, the most important thing they should do right now is to accompany their children and prepare for their education," Tsubasa explained to the three women. He wanted to shift their focus from intensive ninjutsu training to their children's education.

"As long as we can still live peacefully and not wage war like other ninja clans, we must use this time to build a strong foundation for our next generation. Because the three of them are the future and successors of the new Takagami clan. Their education is very important." Tsubasa explained his long-term vision, emphasizing the importance of education for the survival and progress of the Takagami clan.

He wanted the next generation of their clan to be not only physically strong, but also intelligent and knowledgeable.

"Tsubasa-sama is truly very wise," Hotaru exclaimed in a tone of admiration and sincerity after hearing Tsubasa's explanation. "I am so grateful to follow a leader like you!" Hotaru felt deep admiration and respect for Tsubasa, realizing his extraordinary leadership and wisdom.

"Me too!" and "Me too!" Ayame and Madoka chimed in unison, showing their respect and loyalty to Tsubasa.

They all felt fortunate to have a young leader like Tsubasa, who was not only strong and intelligent, but also wise and cared about their well-being.

After playing and chatting with the three adorable babies for a while, Tsubasa finally decided to go to the training grounds. He felt the need to meet his three subordinates and provide training guidance to them.

The three babies stared at him with teary eyes as Tsubasa said goodbye, making Tsubasa's heart soften slightly. However, he knew he had to meet his subordinates and provide training guidance to them.

He promised himself to return soon and continue playing with the babies after he was done with his business.

---

Arriving at the training grounds, Tsubasa immediately noticed his three subordinates who were focused on training their respective ninjutsu. The sound of wind whistling, earth rumbling, and water splashing filled the air, indicating the intensity of their training.

Kyoya looked serious, training his Fuuton ninjutsu. After stringing together several hand seals quickly, gusts of wind in the shape of a tornado suddenly appeared around him, creating a strong defensive shield.

The wind was capable of blowing away anything that was nearby, showing the power of the Fuuton ninjutsu that Kyoya had mastered. He continued to train chakra control and increase the power of his ninjutsu, determined to become stronger and more useful to the Takagami clan.

Benkei, with his sturdy body, trained his Doton ninjutsu. The ground in front of him began to tremble and rise, forming a solid and thick earth wall. Then, Benkei punched the earth wall with his hands covered in earth gloves, his fist struck the earth with tremendous force, creating large cracks in the earth wall.

His movements reminded Tsubasa of Earthbenders in Avatar, powerful and sturdy. He continued to train his physical strength and develop his Doton ninjutsu, determined to become a protective shield for the Takagami clan.

Ginga trained his Suiton ninjutsu in a unique style. Water from the small river near the training grounds was controlled by his Suiton chakra, forming thin water disks that spun at high speed. Ginga threw the water disks at wooden targets in the distance, the water disks shot sharply and easily cleaved the wooden targets into several pieces.

Ginga's Suiton ninjutsu reminded Tsubasa of Krillin's Kienzan in Dragon Ball, deadly and effective. He continued to train his chakra control and develop his Suiton ninjutsu, determined to become a deadly weapon for the Takagami clan.

All the ninjutsu being trained by his three subordinates were new ninjutsu that Tsubasa had created in the past year after he absorbed several ninja brains and combined them into his 'Giant Brain'.

The Giant Brain became a source of unlimited inspiration and innovation for Tsubasa, allowing him to create various new ninjutsu that had never existed before.

With the 'Giant Brain', Tsubasa's level of genius in ninjutsu development and scientific research continued to increase rapidly. He was able to create various new ninjutsu with different elements, tailored to the abilities and fighting styles of each of his subordinates.

He utilized his knowledge from his two previous lives and the wisdom gained from the ninja brains he absorbed to create innovative and effective ninjutsu.

After observing his three subordinates training in silence for a while, Tsubasa finally revealed his presence. "Good job, you three!" Tsubasa exclaimed in a praising tone, startling his three subordinates and making them stop training.

Tsubasa's voice of praise broke the silence of the training grounds, providing additional spirit and motivation for his three subordinates.

"Tsubasa-sama!" Kyoya, Benkei, and Ginga exclaimed in unison, their faces showing respect and joy at the arrival of their young lord.

Tsubasa approached Kyoya, then gave some pointers to improve the effectiveness of his Fuuton ninjutsu. "Kyoya, try focusing more chakra in the center of the tornado, it will make it denser and harder to penetrate," Tsubasa advised.

"And try reducing the chakra used to maintain the tornado's shape, it will conserve your chakra." He gave specific and practical advice, based on his understanding of Fuuton ninjutsu and Kyoya's abilities.

Then, Tsubasa turned to Benkei and gave advice for his Doton ninjutsu. "Benkei, the power of your punches is already extraordinary, but try to increase the speed of your hand movements when coating your fists with earth gloves. It will make your attacks harder to avoid," Tsubasa said.

"And don't just focus on attack, try to develop Doton ninjutsu for defense as well, like creating stronger earth shields or walls." He encouraged Benkei to develop his ninjutsu comprehensively, not only focusing on attack but also defense.

Finally, Tsubasa gave pointers for Ginga's Suiton ninjutsu. "Ginga, your water disks are already very sharp, but try to increase their rotation speed even further. That will increase their cutting power," Tsubasa said.

"And try varying the shape of your water disks, not just thin disks, try making water disks that are larger or smaller, adjust to the battle situation." He encouraged Ginga to be creative and further develop his ninjutsu, adapting to various combat situations they might face.

The three subordinates listened to Tsubasa's instructions attentively, digesting every word spoken by their young lord. They appreciated Tsubasa's guidance and were determined to implement his advice in their training.

After Tsubasa finished giving pointers, they immediately returned to training, trying to apply the advice Tsubasa had given to their ninjutsu. Their training spirit rekindled, inspired by the guidance and praise from their young lord.

After the ninjutsu training session, Tsubasa repeated a similar explanation to what he had conveyed to their wives earlier.

He emphasized the importance of their children's education and their role as fathers in their children's development. He wanted these new fathers to realize their responsibilities as parents and educators for the next generation of the Takagami clan.

Kyoya, Benkei, and Ginga listened to Tsubasa's explanation with full attention and understanding. They realized that Tsubasa was not only their leader, but also a mentor and friend to them all.

They felt fortunate to have a leader like Tsubasa, who thought not only about the clan's strength, but also the well-being and future of their families.

They were grateful for Tsubasa's concern for their families and promised to pay more attention to their children's education, as Tsubasa expected.

They were determined to be good fathers and role models for their children, as well as strong and loyal ninjas to the Takagami clan.

After training was over and the meaningful conversation ended, the four of them walked home together, realizing that it was almost night.

Physical and mental fatigue after a day of activity felt heavy in their bodies, but their hearts were filled with satisfaction and happiness. They felt they had spent a productive and meaningful day, building the Takagami clan step by step.

And so began Tsubasa's busy but meaningful daily activities, days filled with training, research, and togetherness with his small family in the hidden valley. Although their lives were still full of challenges and uncertainties, they remained optimistic and enthusiastic about the future, building new hope amidst the war-torn ninja world.
