Stargate O'Neill epilogue
Xion awoke thirty-eight years later, opening his eyes and looking at his bridge from where he sat on his throne. In front of him were two women wearing dresses of light. They were beings of energy and seemed familiar from the original story.
"You have played a dangerous game," said one of the women. Both were brunettes of average height.
Xion remembered that one of her names was Oma Desala, and the other was only remembered by the nickname Merlin gave her, Morgana .
"What rules have I broken?" Xion asked .
"Somehow, you knew the future," Morgana said .
"Interesting, but time travel isn't forbidden," Xion replied . If so, they would have killed Janus , who had built time machines all over the place, which he had a hard time getting rid of.
—You never traveled in time, you are a being from a higher plane and you do not belong to this world. Your arrival in this place has already violated natural laws," Morgana accused .
—The void that separates the universes is vast, and only the most aberrant beings of the universes dare to cross them. Why would you risk your life like that? Oma Desala asked .
Xion knew those risks, and indeed, only a mad god would cross the boundaries into another universe, losing all his power. And if he was identified as a threat there, he would be easily killed without being able to put up a fight. That was why he supposed that the gods of other universes did not cross his domain. He himself had avoided going to the universe of Star Trek , because there were the Q, who would not hesitate to kill him.
"I'm looking for a way home," Xion said .
"And that's why you've interfered in this universe?" asked Morgan .
"I wouldn't have done it if you guys hadn't let me." They might as well ask me what I wanted," Xion said .
"What are your plans now?" asked Morgan . His tone was neutral, but his question implied a threat.
"Will they not let me touch the Ori?" Xion asked .
"The Ori cannot resist your current power, but they are not the only ascended in this universe," Morgana warned . That meant everyone would be on him if he used his divine power against the Ori.
"As they wish, then a mortal of this universe will take care of them," Xion said, and smiled at Morgana 's feigned shock . Oma Desala sighed at his hypocrisy.
"When you entered that dimension and took the mortal named Marcello with you..." Oma Desala said no more.
"I figured they wouldn't let me move against the Ori," Xion said .
Oma Desala looked at Morgana . It was evident that she also imagined that she knew about the Ori before entering that dimension and had made plans, so she was practically telling him to send other people to deal with the Ori.
"So it's in their interest that I stay in this world," Xion said . Since these two were here and still hadn't told her to leave, it was obvious they wanted her to stay.
"We're willing to give you a chance, if you're interested," Morgana offered.
These guys wanted to harness their power to make themselves stronger. Xion guessed that the gods that used to invade other universes weren't very sociable creatures. But Xion would not oppose it, because he wanted to stay in this universe and expand his search radius to his own world.
"Well, I'm looking for my own universe and I plan to use this universe to expand my search radius," Xion explained . Morgan frowned. Xion raised an eyebrow for me to explain.
"The universes you can see are those that resonate with your own abilities, knowledge, and power, as well as the universe you're in," Morgana explained . Right now, even if you go back to your world, the universes you can see should have increased. Morgan explained . She didn't ask what her original universe was, and Xion wasn't going to tell anyone either. Xion gritted his teeth.
That meant that if he didn't see his home world when building his sensor artifact, he could only continue to explore other worlds and accumulate skills, knowledge, and territories.
Xion wasn't going to give up on that. He was a god, it wasn't like he was going to die any moment. Though if what he had obtained wasn't enough to see his home world, he would have to make additional plans, because he needed another way to split his soul without splitting his power.
"Thanks for the information, I'll keep that in mind," Xion said because he wasn't going to share anything with these guys at the moment. In his old life, he had learned not to pay anything upfront.
Xion looked meaningfully at the two women because what was next was adapting their abilities and powers, and she didn't want them there. The women nodded goodbye and he was left alone.
Just in case, he searched everywhere on the Titan and then moved into a dimension of his own to get out of the eyes of any ascendants.
Once he was alone, Xion 's eyes turned black, with silver circles and fluorescent white pupil and iris. His divine body had returned, and it was like nothing else in this universe, with instant regeneration, near limitless energy, and all of his divine abilities.
Even so, he couldn't compare to an ascended, as his reality manipulation abilities were far superior to the power of his create all things jutsu .
However, the ascended wanted his divine power, and that was not for nothing.
Xion rose from her throne and her body merged with the Titan, while her divine cells assimilated her along with her little soul.
Two hours later, the Titan, ten kilometers long and with billions of tons in resources, be it biomass or mineral resources, turned into himself, a 1.90m man, with the ultimate eyes, an athletic body, straight hair and gold, and a casual look with flannel, jeans , and sneakers. Finally, his eyes turned blue and Xion left that dimension he had created, to return to the space between galaxies.
When it appeared, it produced a turbulence in space waves that spanned hundreds of thousands of light-years, changing even the smallest particle of matter into energy. Xion closed her eyes for a few seconds and then opened them. By doing so, the turbulence disappeared and not even the most advanced sensor would be able to detect its presence.
Xion activated the Rinnegan and Jack O'Neill, along with a boy who was his son, appeared in front of him. Xion had given him all his memories of his life since he occupied his body until he arrived at Atlantis. To make up for that part, he included a report with a brief description of what he had done there, the same as they knew in SG1.
"Do you think your compensation is fair?" Xion asked as O'Neill hugged his unconscious son.
"I still remember how you assimilated my soul," he said, looking into the emptiness of space, as if doubting his own eyes.
Ultra-megacosmic powers ," Xion said with a smile, explaining his situation and why he could stand in deep space without dying. Jack made a face. As for your death at my hands, I didn't want you to doubt your return to life, so I haven't erased that memory from your mind, although I did from your son's mind," Xion explained .
"That's appreciated," O'Neill said, looking at his son. Then she looked him in the eye. Thank you," he said with difficulty. Xion nodded, thinking of her own family and feeling a little envious.
—I'll send you home, I've left some gifts there. Don't forget to contact SG1. Since I've taken your place, you don't need to return to duty, but don't forget to contact General Hammond and inform him of your return, because I'm ten years late on this promise. When I made it, I hadn't thought about building an empire," Xion said with a sigh.
"Better late than never," O'Neill said.
"Hey, I haven't taken your time. With the things I left you on Earth, you'll be able to spend a long life with your son, and as long as you don't join the military, I suppose you'll be safe. Eternal youth does not mean eternal life, remember that, Xion warned , because this was something that even a god should remember. O'Neill nodded and Xion opened a space tunnel, which was also a tunnel connecting two timelines, since O'Neill would be sent to the future, where he had come from.
Xión had already arranged everything for him, so that he would not have any problems when he returned, leaving money in his bank account, his papers in order, and even added special fish to his lake to play a little prank on him the next time he tried to fish.
"Do I just walk?" O'Neill asked, and Xion nodded. O'Neill walked and the tunnel closed behind him.
…
Xion disappeared and appeared in a temple located on an isolated planet lost at the outer edge of the Milky Way.
Anubis was in a large stone hall, somewhat in ruins, sitting on a stone throne and using a shield to interact with reality.
Xion assumed that he was waiting for his chance to retake his power while gathering information on the other Goa'uld , just like in the original story. However, as the Goa'uld had fallen due to his return to the future, his plans would be delayed and he would have to bide his time when the empire he had created weakened to seize his opportunity.
Anubis was in no hurry. He could just sleep and wait a thousand years, two thousand years or a million years, because Anubis was ascended and would not die of old age. Time was meaningless to him, so he was a threat the empire couldn't deal with, as he would always have a chance to attack and retreat without taking any damage if he missed. There was nothing capable of killing him, perhaps imprisoning him, but even that was not certain.
-Interesting. What proposal do the promoted bring me this time? said Anubis in a mocking tone when he saw it appear before him.
Anubis , a Goa'uld who had tricked Oma Desala into helping him ascend, later revealed his true nature as an ascendant and began plotting his dominance over the galaxy, laughing in Oma Desala's face.
The other ascended, to punish her for helping him, decided to allow Anubis to do what he wanted, as long as he did not use his ascended abilities or the knowledge he had acquired, since the individual spent a thousand years pretending to obtain knowledge before returning to the plane. material and reveal himself as the psychopath that he was.
"I am not ascended," Xion said with a smile, and Anubis rose from his throne. He pressed a button and a massive explosion destroyed the throne, the temple, and miles around, leaving a deep crater in place. The nearby servants of Anubis also died instantly.
The explosion created a crater more than a kilometer deep and left the landscape in ruins. The air was churning around them and Anubis 's shields were gone as well. However, Anubis , a shapeless mass of energy, and Xion had not moved an inch from their position, and the explosion seemed to go right through them. Xion made a small gesture and all the dust settled, even the rampaging storm stopped.
"I am not ascended, but I have equal power and am not affected by physical weapons unless I choose to," Xion said to the hovering figure of Anubis .
Xion raised his hand and Anubis 's body flew towards him, regardless of whether it was energy; his Rinnegan had no such limitations, everything could be affected by his attraction.
"You're breaking the rules!" yelled Anubis , watching his death up close.
"Me, breaking the rules?" Anubis , you are a god interfering in the mortal plane. You are the graphic description of breaking the rules. The only reason the ascended haven't erased you from existence is because you're someone else's punishment.
"However, I have spent twelve years of hard work on the material plane, and I will not let it all fall apart for a worthless worm like you. So if you want to defend yourself, you can, because no promoter likes you, and no one is going to help you. You are simply a vermin and no one will defend you —warned Xion .
"Wait, we can work together," said Anubis , who apparently did not dare to use his power as an ascended. Xion winced in her mind, realizing that this individual would be useless in testing the power of an ascended. Sigh.
— Anubis , do you think you are immortal? Xion asked and began to extract his soul.
Anubis shrieked, but could not put up an ounce of resistance, and like all before him, he lost his soul as Xion absorbed his memories and assimilated them. His energy body was hit by nanite tentacles to power his cells and store the rest, not unlike what he did with physical bodies, although this was easier, because he didn't have to do a matter-to-energy conversion.
Xion winced because Anubis 's knowledge was rubbish compared to Merlin's. The ascended never trusted him and everything Anubis knew, Xion already knew.
Xion sighed, eliminating Anubis brought him no benefit other than preventing him from becoming a threat that would disrupt his work. As for threats like the Hachen or other hostile civilizations in the galaxy, none of them were immortal gods, so the empire had the tools to deal with them, and if they failed, it was their responsibility…
Hundreds of ascended appeared around him, these were some of the few that inhabited the Milky Way. Morgana was in front of the group.
"We had already passed judgment on Anubis ," Morgana said neutrally.
"Based on what?" What are the laws of the promoted? Xion asked , and received a psychic transmission from Morgana with a whole set of laws and rules that the ascended used. Xion smiled.
"I'm not a lawyer, but it seems to me that they have ignored their own laws with Anubis ." No matter what you say, there is no way these laws can tolerate one of you intervening on the mortal plane, being an ascendant, regardless of whether you use your abilities or power. Their mere presence is a violation of their own laws,' Xion said . If I'm wrong, then allow me to do the same as Anubis and intervene on the mortal plane.
"I am willing to swear to you that I will not use any divine abilities or any knowledge that I did not obtain as a mortal," Xion offered with a smile.
Some ascendants blinked, because their current knowledge was no different from what they had before they became gods, and their strength and power were also above any other. If he was allowed to do what he wanted, he could impose his will on the entire galaxy without a problem.
Some ascendants blinked and others grimaced, which was an admission of their own guilt. Anubis was breaking the rules and they all knew it.
-What will you do now? Morgana asked helplessly.
"Now that the Ori are gone, I will take their place in their galaxy." I don't agree with your rules, but I'm not interested in living apart from people. I will build a civilization that produces movies and video games for me. You can come to my palace whenever you like,' Xion offered , and the ascended made disapproving gestures. I will also come from time to time to visit my friends here.
"Don't worry, I won't break any of your rules by interfering in your lives or solving your problems. I think by now you should be clear about what I think about working for others," Xion said . What he didn't mention was that his friends could always move to another galaxy and once there, he would be free to intervene in their destinies.
Morgana nodded, knowing why she was moving to the galaxy. However, since the rules of these ascendants only applied in their own galaxy, they couldn't say anything about what he did outside of it.
Xion nodded goodbye to everyone and took a step to move through space and appear in the Ori galaxy.
Xion 's current divine body was incomparable to his previous divine body, which he obtained in the ninja world. His physique remained the same. Xion had yet to find anything that was superior to the Ten-Tails' body, with its divine physical stamina, instant regeneration, and divine energy capacity. There was nothing even remotely like it in this universe. However, his improvements were not related to his physique.
His soul was still the same as well, a fusion of the Ten Tails soul split in half, one half was held by him and the other half was held by Naruto in the ninja world.
His current enhancements were technology combined with his divine abilities and all the knowledge he obtained in this world. Firstly, the ability of the Wraith Ships , which were biological organisms but could use an EDF ( Dimensional Energy Source ) as a power source. These EDFs had already been upgraded to EDF 2.0, using the knowledge he gained from Merlin, improving their efficiency twenty times.
With this, Xion had integrated this energy absorption ability of the Wraith ships into his own body, and now his body was capable of utilizing the EDF 2.0 as its own energy. Of course, the EDF 2.0s were half a meter in diameter altogether, so there was no way to integrate them into his body unless he had a miraculous ability that allowed him to make them smaller, just what he had because he had stolen it from Ishiki of the Otsutsuki in the ninja world, being able to reduce the FED 2.0 at the cellular level.
Thus, every cell in his body was now equipped with a personal EDF 2.0. Considering that there were more than a hundred trillion cells in his body, this made him the most terrifying existence in this universe and the ninja universe.
Of course, the performance of a miniaturized FED 2.0 was not the same as one half a meter in diameter. Even so, there were trillions of them, and now, with just a vigorous wave of a finger, he could wipe a star system out of existence, since the energy he could unleash with a single finger was on a cosmic level.
If Xion wanted to, destroying an entire galaxy wouldn't be a problem, so her power scale had surpassed her version in the ninja world by thousands of times. And all this was thanks to his divine body, which had no equal in this universe and which the ascended could not copy unless he gave them a sample, which was what they wanted from him and which Xion would only give them if they let him work . at peace in his search for a way back to his own world.
What the ascended wanted to increase their power for was obvious to Xion . "Cosmic Horrors". In this Stargate universe, the ultimate representation of power were the ascended, and although their power was supreme for a mortal, at god level each of them would not surpass their own version in the ninja world, although they had the advantage of being Thousands, maybe millions. They had the power to make a planet disappear and alter reality on a planetary level.
For a mortal, this was a force they couldn't match unless they had weapons of mass destruction, and those weapons didn't affect the ascended. But in existence, there were cosmic horrors beyond all logic and comprehension, capable of creating and destroying not just simple galaxies, but entire universes with billions of galaxies.
If Xion were compared to the cosmic horror that was the ultimate Lovecraftian god , who in a simple dream and slip created his own universe with billions of galaxies and hundreds of thousands or millions of gods, some of them as powerful as he was. now, and others capable of devouring star systems of hundreds of galaxies at once, the need for power of the ascended was more than evident.
The ascended wanted to protect their own universe, and coming to this world gave them the opportunity to increase their own power to do so.
However, this did not mean that the Lovecraftian god could come into this universe and do and undo as he pleased. This was not his universe, and if he came here, even a mortal could take him on. The problem was that the ascended could bypass his infiltration, and just like Xion did , his powers could adapt, which would spell the end. There was no way the ascended could take on such a formidable being.
Xion sighed. He didn't feel any concern for the ninja world, because with his current power, if something like that happened there, he would be doomed as well. However, the Lovecraftian god , which he had never seen but considered real due to the existence of everything else, should be sleeping right now. In his existence, he had not been interested in other universes. His descendants were a little different, but those he could easily defeat, and they didn't worry him much.
Other existences didn't seem very powerful to his eyes, so he pushed those thoughts away and used his Omniscience to cover the entire Ori galaxy. With his current power, his Omniscience, which previously only spanned a planet, now had a radius of about three hundred thousand light years, enough to cover the Milky Way three times.
Xion smiled. Marcello had taken care of the Ori, using all the materials and resources that he had hidden in the dimension he had created. There he left the weapon that he had created using Merlin's knowledge. Xion pretended to create a parallel dimension out of curiosity and took the two old men with him. He had previously deposited in Marcello 's mind the necessary knowledge to use the weapon and send it along with a one-way portal to the Ori galaxy.
Xion already suspected that the ascended would not allow him to deal with the Ori on his own, so he ensured the death of the Ori. Now he was confirming that Marcello had followed his instructions and that all the Ori were dead, while his priors had been praying for days waiting for his return.
Xion , who was in the void of space, took a step and appeared in the city of Celestis , where the Ori had their mortal residence. In Xión 's opinion , it was a rather horrible place, since it was a temple with a fire altar that, since the Ori were dead, was turned off. The Doici , High Priest Prior and servant of the Ori, was kneeling in prayer, accompanied by ten other priors.
Since the Ori were dead, Xion was free to take their place. He relit the Ori's fire to maintain the illusion. Then, he engulfed himself in flames and exchanged his casual clothes for white robes and a crown of fire with glowing eyes.
Lastly, he used his psychic abilities to read the minds of all the priors present and learn everything they knew without their realizing it. With the knowledge gained, Xion revealed himself to the fervent priors and the Doici , whose hopes were raised when they saw the Ori's fire return.
The priors saw him emerge from the fire and were stunned, as the Ori had never taken a corporeal form to communicate with them. Even so, they hastened to prostrate themselves and worship him, not even considering the possibility that he was an impostor, for that did not fit in their minds.
—I am Xion , I am the Ori, and the Ori am I! Xion declared , and his voice was heard by all the priors in the galaxy, who fell to their knees in adoration. Doici , faithful priors, the time has come, and I, Xion , have decided that from today, this galaxy will prosper under my guidance and my laws, as I will become its new ruler. Those who wish may believe in me, and I will comfort their souls and answer their pleas.
"However, we will not persecute or punish those who choose to stray from this path," Xion declared . The priors had some doubts regarding this change of ideas, since the Ori used to kill those who did not believe in them, but they did not express them, since the Ori were gods and now Xion was too .
—From now on, there is only me, Xion . Doici , you are the first among your brothers. Obey my mandate and guide this galaxy towards a future of peace and prosperity, granting knowledge to those who value this path and leaving behind those who seek chaos and destruction," said Xion, transferring knowledge at the level of the galactic empire to the leader of the priors.
The Doici agreed with absolute faith, and the other priors throughout the galaxy prepared to preach the new Origin and the change of era, according to the knowledge, laws and rules that Xion was providing them.
Xion had made a complete transformation of the Book of Origin and made radical changes to the laws. It would take time for the people of this galaxy to outgrow their ways, but free will was powerful in generating new ideas, and priors would become a source of knowledge and reward for those who wanted to follow their path.
…
With his declaration and his words, Xion disappeared, returning to the fire of the Ori and heading for an uninhabited solar system.
Xion created a shadow clone that would lead the priors and build an empire across the galaxy. He then took out something similar to a black bean grain and handed it to the clone. This little bean kernel was where the hibernating wraith were found. The clone made the small bean grain disappear and moved to return to Celestis to begin its work.
Xion reached out and the entire solar system disappeared. This place was rich in naquadah , neutronium and tridium , elements unique to this universe and which Xion , even as an existence in the material world, needed for himself.
Xion continued to move to other deserted star systems, absorbing and miniaturizing them for storage as resources. After collecting billions of trillions of tons of resources, he searched for a planet and created an artifact similar to the one he had in the ninja world to see other universes, but this time he didn't need clones to operate it or feed it with chakra, as it was a biotech piece . millions of times more powerful.
Xion saw dozens of universes before him and recognized more than ten of them, but he closed his eyes for several seconds because his own universe was not among them.
After a few seconds, Xion opened his eyes with determination and opened a portal to the ninja world, a year after his departure, connecting at that moment with his other half in that world.
…
Naruto woke up and stretched. He then saw his white-eyed wife sleeping next to him and gave her a small kiss. She woke up and looked at him with a slight smile and a slightly flushed face. They had been sleeping together for over fifty years, but that was Hinata 's character , and Naruto would feel strange if he saw her act otherwise.
After taking a bath and going about his morning routine, Naruto had breakfast with Hinata , Hanabi , who practically lived in his mansion, and his three daughters, whose features resembled their mother's. Naruto didn't want to have blonde daughters, as the existence of a spawn like Boruto had affected him, so he made sure they weren't born. His daughters sometimes gave him headaches and could be annoying from time to time, but he loved all three of them and considered those little annoyances nothing to him.
Her biggest problem right now was that her daughters had inherited her carefree nature and any mention of marriage was taboo for them, so she didn't expect to have grandchildren anytime soon.
After finishing eating, Naruto headed to the Hokage 's office , where Kakashi was taking care of the Hokage 's duties . Kakashi looked at him with some hostility when Naruto arrived. Kakashi took over as Hokage ten years ago, although the jōnin board had originally voted for him. However, after some "private" conversations, they changed their vote in favor of Kakashi .
There were no other candidates available. Tsunade was young and as long as she wanted to stay that way she would, but after being Hokage for almost forty years she was tired and threatened to kill her way into retirement. Therefore, the jōnin decided to prevent a massacre and appoint a new Hokage . In the village was Sakura , who was Tsunade 's disciple and also her right-hand woman, which meant she also threatened to kill her way into retirement if her name was mentioned.
Sasuke had ten wives and over a hundred children, a thousand grandchildren and about two hundred great-grandchildren, making a whole clan to take care of. He didn't have time to be Hokage . Itachi was an anonymous Anbu , Neji was the current head of the Hyūga clan , Gai and Rock Lee were the main arms of the village, and Naruto was a very busy person. Therefore, among the most powerful ninjas, only Kakashi remained .
" Kakashi-sensei , if you keep looking at me like that, I'll think you hate me," Naruto said .
" Naruto , I've been Hokage for ten years so you can slack off!" Kakashi chided .
" Kakashi-sensei , every time I come to see you, you tell me the same thing. I already told you before, I have too much work to be Hokage . I am the hero of this world and its protector. You're just a Hokage in charge of a small village and you're already complaining. You should be ashamed! Naruto chided . It wasn't his fault the world wasn't under attack. Now let's go get my master and leave a clone here," he said, looking at the empty office. Kakashi-sensei , you are too suspicious.
"A few dozen clones would solve all your paperwork problems," Naruto said . He was the head of the Root and hadn't been in his office in decades, but everything still worked perfectly.
" Naruto , you're lazy! Kakashi chided helplessly, standing up and creating a clone.
Naruto moved again and Kakashi followed him as he had Obito 's eyes and after Naruto , he could become the strongest ninja in this world.
Naruto came to a large room where an old woman was arranging a kimono for Jiraiya .
"Master, it's about time," Naruto said , appearing a few meters from him, followed by Kakashi . Jiraiya , whose appearance hadn't changed in fifty years, nodded. He put a book he was reading on a shelf, since this room was an office with its own library, and nodded.
"Today I won't take no for an answer!" Jiraiya sentenced . Kakashi blinked. I will receive a yes, or we will die trying! Jiraiya sentenced .
Kakashi turned and pretended to slip through space, but his space doujutsu was useless against Naruto , who grabbed him by his hokage robes and pulled him back.
Jiraiya led the way out of his three-story house. He had established himself as a writer and was quite famous in the ninja world due to being the teacher of the current emperor.
After making sure that he no longer wrote inappropriate content, the emperor recognized him as his teacher, increasing his fame and making him one of the most renowned writers in the ninja world, generating millions in profit a year. However, Tsunade was still looking at him with narrowed eyes, despite the fact that the perverted sage had been an honorable person for over twenty years.
She beat him up every time he went to ask for her hand, but she didn't reject him, which showed that he still had a chance. Tsunade hadn't married either.
…
"This is so boring, " Shikamaru , current commander of the Leaf forces, complained at the village gates.
Shikamaru sported a thirty year old appearance, but not because Naruto had given him youth treatment, but because he had earned it from the emperor himself. He rewarded his most outstanding ninjas with a serum that extended their youth by three hundred years, not only for the Leaf village, but for all ninja villages.
Now all the elite Jōnin received this gift, which had caused a drastic reduction in the birth rate of the ninja villages, since the elite ninjas did not age normally and did not feel the need to have children soon. This was the case with Shikamaru , who was already lazy before receiving his reward, and now that he had more than two hundred years of youth ahead of him, he saw no need to have children anytime soon and was still childless.
This created other problems besides the birth rate, since some ninjas had died and, having no children, their families were in trouble. To solve this, the ninjas who received the recognition of the emperor were forced by their families to have offspring, but in cases like Shikamaru 's , he was too lazy to listen to his elders and continued without having children.
— Shikamaru , put that laziness aside. Today we must have the strength of youth on our side, because we must tame a beast... — Gai flew away from a kick from Jiraiya .
"Today keep your mouth shut!" Jiraiya scolded angrily, also looking threateningly at Rock Lee, since the last time they had insulted Tsunade and violence broke out in the streets of Konoha . Of course, Naruto would disappear the moment things turned violent.
"Today we should have a good celebration," said Shoji , who was wearing the war garb of the Akimichi clan .
"They're going to scold us again," Asuma complained with a sigh.
"They're a nuisance," Sasuke said , miraculously finding time to act as his clan's representative at these official ceremonies.
-Let's keep going! —Jiraiya sentenced in a shout, to silence the complaints of the more than fifty men present, and took the lead to lead the way through the main streets of the Leaf.
…
In the last three years, the population had not grown much and the village was only slightly larger. However, the houses and mansions were all luxurious and the main streets were paved with stone, with squares and numerous shops. The Leaf had become a trading village, and more than half the money came from trade.
With his clones guarding the city, the Leaf was as safe as the Rain village, attracting ninjas and merchants alike. In addition, there was Jiraiya , the teacher of the emperor, which made the village a tourist spot where thousands of people watched their procession and gave their support to Jiraiya as they made their way through the city until they reached the mansion that was the remains of the Senju clan. which Tsunade belonged to .
…
Jiraiya arrived at the front of the mansion and, with dignity, shook the knockers on a huge double door while respectfully asking to be greeted. While he was doing this, the most cunning prepared their escape and the craziest, like Gai and Rock Lee, shouted their support and demanded that Tsunade come out to meet them.
The double doors were opened by two women and Tsunade became visible to everyone in the center of her garden's stone path, with Sakura on one side and Shizune on the other. Tsunade was wearing a green yukata that, although it wasn't a kimono, gave her a certain formal air.
-Speaks! Tsunade ordered with a threatening tone, while she cracked her knuckles, signaling that there would soon be a bloodbath. Jiraiya nodded solemnly and turned to them to indicate that everything was under control and that this time he would succeed, as he had promised.
Naruto thought that today his teacher really had a somewhat strange air, since in his previous presentations he would already be declaring his intentions and asking for Tsunade 's hand , threatening to stay there all day if she did not agree to be his fiancée, to which Tsunade he responded by giving him a beating. Other times, someone like Gai talked too much and the request was over before it started.
Jiraiya looked at Tsunade solemnly and…
Naruto blinked as did all of his companions as Jiraiya had dropped to his knees and then prostrated himself.
— Tsunade , I was a bad man in the past and I could never earn your trust for being a scoundrel and a scoundrel. Today, I apologize for that and I also ask you to grant me your hand in marriage. I swear I will work hard to be worthy of your trust," Jiraiya swore with a solemn tone, leaving everyone shocked. Even Tsunade , Sakura and Shizune were in a daze, but even as time passed, Jiraiya didn't move from his spot or say anything else.
…
"I accept," Tsunade said a long minute later, turning back to leave the crowd, who were just now beginning to blink, shocked.
Jiraiya stood up and bowed. Tsunade smiled and stepped away to invite them into her house.
Upon entering, they were greeted with a banquet, causing everyone to look at Jiraiya . In truth, he was serious and had agreed things with Tsunade . Perhaps he had said something to her that motivated her to take today's proposal seriously, because Tsunade was just as surprised as everyone when Jiraiya prostrated himself. Naruto didn't think she expected what happened.
…
After a day of celebrating his master's engagement, Naruto was on the terrace of his mansion, watching the Hokage monument , where the first, Hashirama , was ; the second, his brother Tobirama ; the third, Sarutobi ; the fourth, his father Minato ; the fifth, Tsunade ; and the sixth, a reluctant Kakashi .
" Naruto ? " Hinata called from behind him. Naruto slapped the ground beside her to get her to sit up and then pulled her into his arms to kiss her on the forehead.
" Naruto , are you alright?" Hinata asked when he released her. Naruto grimaced.
"I guess I'm not feeling well," Naruto said , and Hinata clutched at his chest. Everyone is too responsible, tomorrow I could wake up and see my daughters married, maybe also lazy Shikamaru have a couple of children —Naruto complained . Hinata laughed . _
" Naruto , you won't see our daughters married for a long, long time." They look like me, but they're twice as lazy as you," Hinata said regretfully.
"Hey, do you want to be a grandmother yet?!" Naruto exclaimed . Hinata rolled her eyes. This is serious, Hinata . How can we be grandparents in full youth? Naruto asked .
"You don't have to get married, just have some babies," Hinata insisted .
—Hey, did you come to comfort me or to make me feel worse? Naruto complained with a sigh. Hinata hugged him without saying anything.
" Hinata , I want my parents back, " Naruto confessed . I've always loved him, even though I've never met them, and now I'm an old man whose wife wants grandchildren. I want to have my parents by my side," he added.
"Then bring them back." Life will always be better," Hinata said as if it were obvious.
"Don't you think I'm selfish? Naruto asked .
" Naruto , if you wanted a piece of candy and had the money to buy it while others didn't, would you let it go?" Hinata asked releasing him and looking into his eyes. Naruto shook his head. That was not his way of thinking. He hugged her and kissed her on the forehead again.
— Hinata , I will become Hokage . I need something to brag about. It is also time to put pressure on those lazy of our daughters to have a child each. I need at least three grandchildren to show my parents," Naruto said with a nod. Hinata hugged her chest again…
The portal to the world of Stargate had opened again, and this time, from both sides, his other half had passed through without a problem. It seemed that if the portal was opened from both universes, it could be crossed without difficulty.
Naruto smiled. His other half had suffered a bit in the Stargate universe , but he wasn't about to give up. He was already making plans to continue his search and preparations to overcome whatever odds he would encounter when he returned to being a mortal.
Naruto did not come to receive him yet, since they were one and they were already together, so the reunion was not necessary. His other half had plans that would stop his exploration for a few days, so he could go meet him the next day.
…
Xion arrived in the ninja world in one afternoon, a year after he had left, as he manipulated time to make it so.
…
The next day, his other half showed up at the underground base where the portal was located. He watched the alternate dimensions he had created as Xion handed him several billion tons of tridium , naquadah , and neutronium , for him to upgrade his body as well. These resources were reduced to the size of a marble.
"I have suffered without my powers and it will not happen again. I have created millions of clones with bodies no stronger than an ordinary person, with different heights, weights, and body states. Even if I am a mortal again, I will be a warrior capable of adapting to any body and getting the most out of it. I also make them practice with all kinds of weapons, for about a thousand years —Xion explained to his other half, although she was already aware of everything he was doing. This was just to get the feeling of talking to each other.
"What world are you planning to go to now?" Naruto asked , humoring her.
"I was thinking of going to the world of Harry Potter, because there is magic there, an element that can expand the universes within our reach, but I discovered another problem. My connection to the Stargate universe begins to weaken on my way out of there. If enough time passes, I will lose that territory. And we can no longer divide our soul, because if we do, we will lose abilities and power —Xion said, raising his hand towards the sensor device of universes and opening a window towards one of them.
"A world of cultivation," Naruto said .
"One where we can find a soul that I hope will be more useful than the soul of the Ten-Tails." We have also reached the limit of this body. In fact, if I explode with even a tenth of the power I now possess, this body will fall apart," Xion explained .
"And you think that the body and weapon of a dragon god will surpass the Ten-Tails?" Naruto said .
"The Ten-Tails would be just a small beast in this universe," Xion replied . Naruto frowned. Xion knew she couldn't fool him, as there were two cultivation universes available and he had selected this one. Surely he had a reason.
"Don't go imitating that shameless protagonist," Naruto warned .
" Xion replied . I was just a fan, it didn't mean anything was going to happen.
Three days later, Xion was ready to cross over to another universe.
"One hundred years is the time when the portal to the Stargate universe will close, and there will be no time tricks there," Naruto warned . The passage between universes had its own rules and they couldn't influence them, despite being able to choose the timeline in other universes, since it was easy for them to do so. Be careful," he added, holding the package of cells and sealed soul, which Xion had become .
"It's a safe, ruined world." There are no powerful gods to protect him, and while there are demigods, they aren't even at the level of altering reality," Xion said confidently. This time, his mortality would not take him by surprise, for he was prepared.
…
Naruto tossed the cell pack into the portal between universes and watched his way. Nothing had happened so far, but that didn't mean they would let their guard down.
…
Author's Note: End of epilogue. As you can see, the next universe is one of cultivation, because Xion requires a stronger body and also a soul to control it. There is nothing like it in normal fictional worlds. Even Superman is too weak, as his body is inferior to that of the Ten-Tails, which has instant regeneration. Soul isn't something of note over there either, but in cultivation universes, body and soul are the essence of power, so he'll go looking for them there.
