Finishing up with the morning spar, Naruto visited the Summon world to soothe his little children and give them some of his time.
The Summon world was one of Naruto's many personal dimensions where his summons lived and he even allowed people to contract with his summons.
There was the Plant world, a planet sized plant summon where all the other plant type summon lived. This plant summon was technically the strongest summon under Naruto instead of Rafflesi but Ceres slept most of the time as she helps the growth of the beings living on it and she was too vicious in battle.
Ceres was big as mercury with all kinds of fruits, trees and whatnot. There were mountains and water bodies. It was an ideal place for all living beings.
On this planet lived all kinds of sentient plants that were at different level of powers, most of the plant types were not good looking and came out of a horror movie.
Naruto had unique taste in plants, which was why he got along with Shino and his bugs as well.
Beside Ceres, there was the Cold Planet and the Heat Planet.
The Cold planet was always in a state of absolute cold even reaching absolute zero in some places while the heat planet was always burning and its temperature was always climbing towards the range of the sun's core.
On the Cold Planet, Metal Gabu lived with the wolves while on the heat planet lived Wargrey with other low level dragons and even wild dragons of the flame nature.
Wargrey specialized in flames.
"Daddy when can I get strong enough to beat that meanie?" Lilly asked as she tackled Naruto when he stopped on Ceres.
Lilly was like a little girl even though she was very old by now. She was short enough to pass for a 10 year old child and her personality was also similar except for some rare times when she got serious.
Naruto hugged her and patted her head, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Lilly looked at him in the eyes with shock, the betrayal.
"Big sis, daddy is being a meanie." Lilly got out his grasp and flew into Rafflesi's arms.
Naruto chuckled as he walked and the girls followed him, he was checking on things personally and feeding energy into Ceres.
He had stopped feeding them his flesh and blood for some time now since it wasn't ideal at the moment, but all of them should get a large boost once his transformation was completed.
"Then you shouldn't ask such a brain-dead question. Lord Uchiha is Master's brother, there is no way you are beating him." Rose muttered in a cold tone. Her mood had gotten chillier after the spar.
She hated being treated like a little pawn in the game of Immortals.
"Hehe, why so angry? Hurts don't it." Lilly giggled as she slipped out of Rafflesi's grasp and flew at a distance to avoid retaliation from Rose.
Rose bit her ruby lips, her hands itching to use her thorn whip.
"Let it go, girls. Nobody knows if you can beat him or not, just keep on working and maybe it can happen one day. But, stop letting it get to you." Naruto stopped as he gave a nod to Sakuya sitting in the clearing with her fox summons that also lived on Ceres now.
Turning to the girls, Naruto placed his hand on Rose's face and looked into her red eyes.
Rose looked into the man that brought her up from a flower monster to her beautiful appearance with love and care.
All of her was his.
"I understand Father." Rose muttered as she took his hand and kissed it.
Naruto smiled and pulled her into his embrace. Just like his other children, these girls were his children. They also need his love and care.
They had attitude and they had issues of their own.
They lived a carefree life but sometimes they also dreamed of big things.
"I am not lying, it is the truth." Naruto called for Lilly and she also flew into his arms.
Rose had calmed down because of Naruto's presence and his embrace so she didn't push Lilly. Rafflesi also walked into the group hug and she felt happy at Naruto's words, it meant that there was a chance for her dream to come true.
"Master, does it mean that I can grow stronger than your honorable self?" Taking shape from the plants around them, Ceres appeared.
Ceres appeared as a beautiful woman with red hair and a dress made from plants. She had purple flowers on her shoulders and vines flowing behind her.
She had bark armor on her legs and arms.
Ceres was always calm and impossible to read for others.
But Naruto knew her reason for asking, Ceres was a good kid.
"Yes" Naruto pulled her into the big family hug.
Ceres wanted to protect him like she wanted to protect everyone living on her body.
"Father, how long do we have and can we really participate?" Rafflesi asked as she knew the time seemed to grow closer but their power hadn't reached a level where they could even fight Sasuke.
"Not long but you will all soon grow to a new level. You will reach Sasuke's current level for sure, isn't that great." Naruto let go of the girls as Lilly sat down on his shoulders and hugged his head while the Rose and Rafflesi walked by his sides, and Ceres walked behind them.
Ceres didn't talk much and her main goal in life was to be the guardian, she was brought up with that purpose in mind.
"Hmm, that's fun but but. Can we play now?" Lilly was happy with the news and moved Naruto's head from side to side, and her attention shifted from the power topic.
"What do you want to play?" Naruto asked as he continued his walk as Sakuya jumped onto his shoulder as a tiny golden nine tail fox. Naruto rubbed her head.
She was the same to him like the other girls. It would definitely be interesting to see Kurama have a family but the guy didn't seem to develop such interests at all.
"Big sis, any suggestions?" Lilly turned to Rafflesi while moving around excitedly.
"Hide and seek?" Rafflesi answered with a smile. Lilly didn't usually ask for suggestions and they didn't really mean anything since she played around a lot, this would just be one of the games.
Hide and seek was one of her favorites.
Lilly had a wide smile hearing those words, "Daddy daddy, let's play. But this time no cheating, you can't use your senses or ask Ceres Mama."
Lilly and a majority of the plant summons called Ceres their mother, as they grew on her body and were nurtured by her gentle embrace.
They had similar respect for her like they did for Naruto. Naruto didn't mind as it was planned from the start.
Naruto chuckled at those words and Lilly disappeared from view, "Do you want to play as well?"
"Too childish." Rose shook her head and declined.
"I will join or Lilly might start feeling lonely." Rafflesi gave a small smile as she also walked away. She took care of her little sisters and her subjects, and was sensitive their needs.
"I will take my leave Master." Ceres took Naruto's hand and was about to bite into his finger.
"Not now." Naruto stopped her from continuing and patted her head. It was a habit to drink blood from his hand.
"Apologies, I will be going now."
"I will come meet you when I am done with the others."
Ceres didn't show a change in expressions but she was happy as she let go of her temporary body.
Once Naruto finished interacting with his plants and checking their conditions, he walked into the lab.
"Lord Seventh" Kabuto greeted him as he walked in while the others seemed to be working on the task in the large lab.
Naruto didn't call them over as he didn't need them.
"Walk with me." Naruto said calmly as he walked towards his goal, Nu 13.
Seeing his direction Kabuto understood that Naruto was here to check the progress personally. It was the Ultimate weapon and their greatest hope.
It was a silent walk, two wraiths leaving no sound. It was a short walk and the duo entered the room where there was only one container in the center.
It was a room designed to cater to this one project.
The liquid container was made of highly durable material that was similar to Naruto's armor as Nu 13 was expected to have the strength to break it.
In the middle of the cylinder was a mass of silver wriggling continuously. It was the combination of the DNA of all the strongest fighters in the world and it was being continuously tested to go beyond its parts.
The container blocked everything but with a touch, Naruto could feel the immense power held inside and the connection between them.
"Lord Seventh how is the connection now?" Kabuto asked as it would be dangerous if the connection was too weak and Nu went berserk.
"Better, feels like my summons. You have outdone yourselves." Naruto looked at the silver mass that looked like liquid metal as it had yet to take shape.
It was being fed all kinds of data for fighting purpose.
"Thank you for kind words, sir. Is there any new addition or is there any issue?" Kabuto asked as it won't be the first time that Naruto updated the program and led to the increase of Nu's potential.
"Update the biological data. It's been too long since the last change and from the feeling I am getting, Nu will take shape soon." Naruto reminded him and brought out DNA samples from everyone involved as all of them had grown in a half year.
With the help of new training methods, fuinjutsu, Genetic Modifications, new techniques and finally the chakra compression, everyone grew beyond what they could ever achieve.
Kabuto took the containers and saw the changes. It seems they would have to change the timing as the change in power was becoming massive in a short time.
The power of these people had grown through mutations and gained a new level.
"Apologies sir, we will keep in mind and keep watch so it doesn't happen again." Kabuto was embarrassed by the oversight.
"Don't worry I know I am putting too much on your table. Take care and I hope you enjoy your time with the family." Naruto looked at Nu, the silver mass seemed to react to his gaze and float closer to him. Naruto smiled and the energy sphere between the silver mass flickered from green to red.
It seems the connection was very strong.
Kabuto also saw it and was shocked as the connection was stronger than what they had expected.
'Lord Seventh always knows how to win the hearts of the people.' Kabuto smiled
"I will." Kabuto replied as he thought about his wife, she was a simple woman that reminded him of his foster mother. She was also taking care of the Orphanage.
Naruto nodded and walked away while Nu seemed to grow with the addition of the new material.
Leaving the lab, Naruto arrived in his office. Nemesis was looking into Jashin with the clue they found on their home world while some Shinobi forces had been sent to the new region for mapping and repopulation purpose.
The Ninja world now ruled over more than thirty solar systems but most of them had no life forms initially.
The Ninja spread to those worlds and brought life into those dead worlds. They didn't need such big territory but it was defense purposes as they split the populace into those worlds when everything was going down.
When bigger monsters got involved that could destroy galaxies, Naruto had prepared for his people to enter other dimensions and was finding a path to another Universe.
All of them were aware that there was more than one Universe after Kaguya's explanation as the Otsutsuki world was connecting point to the entire Multiverse.
"Every one of them seemed to have a nightmare and couldn't sleep at all. Going through their memories, I can tell that they would have gotten mentally scarred if not for the defense system. Our foe is using dreams for his nefarious schemes." Ino reported as Naruto took his seat. The results had come and he was on the mark.
"Sasuke, Ino, your response to this threat." Naruto asked he looked at them as they were the experts in this field.
Other regions also had their experts but Ino and Sasuke stood at the top of this field.
"Dreams, I have never really thought about it." Sasuke sat in front of Naruto's desk along with Ino, Shikamaru and Hinata.
Dreams weren't common in his life, Sasuke would barely dream once a month. It wasn't something he really thought about and was just a figure of speech to him.
"Same here, I am not sure if my abilities can also influence dreams." Ino rolled her hair on his finger as she had her long hair flow openly while wearing a Neon Jacket with a black shirt and black jeans.
It was an answer that was expected as all of them had never thought about utilizing dreams. It was a completely different world.
They had no idea how it worked.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Shikamaru asked as he spun his pen and held the tab with the other hand. He was wearing a grey suit but he had taken off his coat.
He wore a grey pants, white shirt and a grey vest with his long hair tied behind in a pony-tail.
"We will have to do a battlefield test." Sasuke replied as he went through everything but there were no facts to back his words. It was a vague field that he had never touched upon.
Sasuke sat straight with his hands on the sides wearing a black suit and a grey shirt. Sasuke and Naruto's clothing style was similar most of the time, formal wear or traditional wear. Naruto also wore flashy clothes like Ino sometimes.
Ino used Naruto as the target or the children when designing new clothes for men.
Naruto tapped the table with his finger as he thought about the topic and took in their words simultaneously.
"I will provide the support and give you the targets." Naruto also had nothing for this topic and they could only test out their current abilities.
Naruto did think about using his reality warping to enter the dream world but the result of this trial was unknown.
"What about the demonic invasion?" Shikamaru asked as the dream attack wasn't the only thing happening.
"Sai is in charge of handling the threat and from our analysis they are not threat." Hinata replied to his question and Shika got the information on his tab, a report from Sai.
The defense system was strong enough to block out all the other demons as their abilities weren't new or strong enough. The barrier would have to fall for them to cause chaos.
"The dream attack is building up to weakening our system so that even the small shadows could kill. Seeing the power of the Nue, we can expect this threat to also feed on the dreams to grow stronger. The longer it flows freely, the more it will grow and soon it might become threat to us." Naruto gave them the conclusion of the reports. The dream eater was weakening their minds and bodies while growing.
"Damn, these psychos are not playing around. Why can't things be simple like the past?" Ino leaned back as she stared at the ceiling.
Things were really hectic and it was only getting more hectic. She was busy with the security and learning about the true memory, and now she had to deal with another threat.
It wasn't hard to focus on multiple subjects but it didn't make it easy, the difficulty was insane compared to the past where she could walk over everything with her current abilities.
Everyone understood her sentiments, as none of them were the type to love challenges and conflicts except Naruto. Even Naruto would prefer if the challenge wasn't so high.
"Everything will be fine and unlike the past our enemies fear us. I believe that you will take out this threat." Naruto sat up straight and gave a comfortable smile his words boosted the morale of everyone. It was mixed with reality warping powers to make it really happen.
It was Naruto's ability called the Golden Truth. The gold truth was truth constructed from belief that was acknowledged and shared between people.
Naruto used the power of his belief and the belief of the people to power his reality warping. If he called the salt sweet it would be sweet because it was the belief of the people that Naruto would not lie and he was invincible.
Naruto utilized people's perception for his abilities and he was working on other abilities. He could work without giving name to the ability but by giving it a name, it became easier to use and the ability gained more power.
Without negative thoughts influencing them, the team worked out the plan for the night as the dream eater only attacked at the time when Naruto would go to sleep.
a.n All the summons are digimon, just add mon to their name and check google if you want.
