"Which that means your mother is now safe?" Tsunade glared at Yoichi's excited face, pinching the waist of her future Yoichi.
'Then what's all that acting huh? Damn it, I truly wanted to punch his face. If not for this damn Trial, I would completely pummel this bastard to the dirt! Also that damn old man and Danzo! Right before the war, they have gone certainly senile!'
Tsunade glared at future Yoichi with malice and annoyance. Future Yoichi scratched his head and bowed with clasped hands together.
"Now, Tsunade. Have you been wondering how I didn't save Nawaki and Dan Kato from their eventual death? I am deeply sorry for my Future Self's misconduct." Yoichi looked at Tsunade's figure and gulped instinctively.
'The rumors were true, 106 is real!'
"So what huh? What are you gonna do? Can your sorry brought back my little brother? I don't care about Dan anymore because of a certain somebody's sealing my memories! But why?! Why you didn't save someone else from their death?! You wanted to marry me and loved me so deeply, but why did you do this?!"
Intense emotions swirled in Tsunade's mind, the thoughts of Nawaki only chimed in her soul. As for Dan, it doesn't matter since her life revolves around his mysterious lover who was exceptionally well and well-renown in the Shinobi World.
But why did his lover didn't protect his little brother? His brother-in-law?!
"I am sorry and I can't express my deepest apology. I know you can't still trust my future self but I swear I will save the Nawaki of my current time. If you don't believe in my future, please believe in my past self and I will certainly save him so Nawaki could live in the future time."
Looking at her depressed aura, Yoichi was surprised about his Future Self's ruthlessness.
"How can I believe in what you're saying?" Tsunade's tearing eyes stopped and looked at Yoichi, waiting for the little hope to save her.
"I will save him. Here's the plan, I will take away him from Konoha and let him live with my students here. I know for a fact my students at that point were stronger and better teachers than the rest of the world. If I am successful, your future will be now changed and Nawaki will surely be able to avoid his catastrophic fate. My future self would know it so just say it. I promise."
Yoichi's confident aura soared through as his plan was still ongoing and written down to the back of his head while his students were quite puzzled.
"... Okay, I'll believe you this time. If ever your future self does this type of cruelty, I will beat him up to death!" Tsunade clenched her fist and shot a hateful glare at her Future Self.
She had no choice but to believe him. Tsunade has been riddled with pain due to his little brother's death but now that it was in the plan, she was hopeful that once they go back to their timeline, her brother would be safe and back to her embrace as a cheeky and childish youth like Naruto.
"First thing when we come back, let's go and look for my brother! If not for this goddamn trial, I would be able to kill you hyper-acting bastard!" Tsunade's veins popped out of her forehead, almost ready to bring judgment.
'Damn Yoichi! If not for you giving me 10 million Ryo every day, countless sake, and delicious foods, I would send you back from space!'
Future Yoichi nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her statement and the changed plans.
"Can you tell us about the Trial now, Yoichi?" Interjecting, Makima rubbed her chin as the other wives including Tsunade glared at him.
Future Yoichi also looked forward to his past Yoichi's resolution and plan about this thing, smiling with curiosity in mind.
"Hmmm... How should I start? The Trial of Akashic was one of the hardest trials. It was super duper ultra mega hard to complete but the risk outweighed the reward. If you all completed the Trial developed by Akashic, all of you could access anything inside of the Akashic Records. I mean it, every single thing! From memories, valuable resources, and training domains, to absolute powers I've gained for my entire lifetime!"
All of his wives including Tsunade shone in seriousness and excitement. After all, this book gave them unique abilities and many more available resources necessary for them.
"Hah! Do not be excited, the Trial was so hard it will take you millenniums to complete it! Look at all of you right now, what you are? A human! Even if I gave you all the power, the status of humans is still inside every one of you! My wives from the cosmic took too many eons, I have never recorded their expressions from exhaustion!" Yoichi scoffed at their display of excitement.
All of his wives grew serious as the tense atmosphere permeated the room in an instant.
They all knew their husband's lecherous attitude and didn't mind it since they knew each other now including the newly-arrived Tsunade.
"Surely, you have a plan in this specific scenario right?!" Maki appeared to be optimistic while the other wives nodded.
"Wait, let me ask my future self, did they take the hard way or the soft way? Just raise 1 finger for the hard way and the other 2." Yoichi's eyes grew serious at the same time, shocking all of his wives.
They have never seen him serious before...
Future Yoichi raised 1 finger as his smile twitched at his past and painful experience.
"Fucking shit! I am sorry for the trauma." Yoichi's face instantly became apologetic and instantly determined to change his path.
"Wait... We don't understand, can we have any explanation?" Tsunade and his wives were interested in their future selves choices.
"I knew now... Because I taught Ki and Chakra to them, living for an entire 500 years..." Yoichi grew somber, understanding his future self's demise.
"Can you also do that?" Satomi's blue eyes twinkled.
"No, I will not even give a fraction in this current timeline! Never!" Yoichi roared.
"But why?" Worried about her husband's odd roar, Yoru asked.
"Because I will see all of you dying one by one! Did you think that I was that mentally strong? No! That's why my future self became cold and calculating... What did you think about me seeing you dying one after another? What about my children dying before me? What about our clan's demise? I will be seeing them die and completely demolish themselves!" Yoichi explained to them his thought process.
His wives are the only anchors he had for his entire lifetime ever since he was overwhelmed by the immense satisfaction of power and ultimately killing all the beings without any shred of remorse.
All of his wives looked at Yoichi's frantic incarnation and became sympathetic toward Future Yoichi. They all understand now that his love for his wives was so deeply entrenched that he grew cold and indifferent to people.
'That's why this idiot wants to destroy the world for our sake... What a capable but foolish guy.'
Tsunade even hugged Future Yoichi's waist and snuggled deep inside his embrace while Future Yoichi brushed her hair to stop her thoughts.
They couldn't fathom Future Yoichi's mental resilience after those experiences he endured.
It was as if his loved ones fighting against cancer with chemotherapy and seeing them fight with determination only to witness their slow death.
"...Then what about now? We can all agree with you and die without giving you trauma..." Yuki became somber like the rest of Yoichi's wives.
The thought of seeing Yoichi in his younger form while they are old and dying was like getting pricked by countless needles to the heart.
"Why are you all sad and defeated? As I said, let's enjoy this lifetime, right? I have plans for this!" Yoichi gently smiled at them.
"Plan A, I will set up a domain in the Pure Land. It will be quite easy but from the looks of it, the Pure Land has not been established in this current era. If the Pure Land was developed, I would put your souls into the domain and let all of you go with the Trials there for better efficiency of our time."
Yoichi continued as the rest of his wives lightened up in optimism and hope.
"Did you do this?" Tsunade whispered in Future Yoichi's ear, curious about Yoichi's decision.
Future Yoichi nodded.
"Plan B, take your souls into the [Training Domain] and let you live there until the Trials are done," Yoichi added.
"Plan C, take all of your souls into the Akashic Records and let you all finish the trials," Yoichi added to another plan once more.
"Can you do this easily?" Satomi was curious.
"Of course, I could! However, I hope Plan A will be fully implemented since these 2 other plans were just contingency plans for me in case our first plan went into unexpected situations." Yoichi continued as the rest were just nodding constantly, understanding his thought process.
"Now, let me talk to my future self first! As for all of you, have some interactions with each other." Yoichi looked at his future self, curiously thinking about his questions a bit more thought into it.
'What the hell! I didn't even notice that these women were pregnant with his child! And 3 of them, what an actual failure of a medical ninja I am!'
Tsunade made contact with the rest of his wives while talking about their hobbies, jobs, fashion, and even makeup, and other beautifying products.
Women are knowledgeable and have never been exhausted with those topics and gossip around.
