HAH?!
“Hold up now, chotto matte kudasai! What the hell do you mean by that?” I shouted out in shock and alarm.
Tsunade gave me a smile with a warmth that didn’t reach her eyes, “Well, considering you are yet to become Hokage, and considering you are also already betrothed to a few girls already, I and The Council decided to enact something to speed up things a bit.” She said, pointedly glaring at me about the Hokage part.
Yikes. She really wants me to become Hokage, huh? I thought with slight worry and apprehension. “And what would that be?”
“Well, a number of things, actually. Considering how valuable and important you are to the village, and how great your acts and genes currently are, we’ve set into motion acts that we haven’t activated since the dawn of this village. For one, we’ll be enacting the FCRA, or also known as the Forced Clan Restoration Act, which will make it a requirement to have a bare minimum of seven wives to ensure that you have ample children and spread your genetics.”
My eyes widened in shock before I immediately looked over at Ino and Hinata, who were all there, with soft, if not a little bit pained in some way, smiles. Tayuya and Haku were also there, although they were standing off to the side in sad contemplation. It… hurt me, seeing them like this. Although we had been apart for so long, I felt like I somehow grew closer than ever with them, although that could just be my hormonal body speaking to me right now. But… To be forced to watch as the one they love share so many others…
I know for a fact I could never accept it. Not in a million years. The fact that, while they didn’t like it, they more or less shrugged their shoulders, was a bit concerning to me. Seems as though the village has been poisoning them in my absence. Or perhaps they’ve just grown into the role considering that I was technically already betrothed to both Hinata and Ino before I even left. I thought with a mental sigh. This is so messed up… I thought.
But I also realized that this world as a whole was even more messed up than the one I came from. At least in some parts. People were gifted superhuman powers and are in a constant state of war, assassination, espionage, trickery, and destruction. They send in children as young as five or six into the equivalent of a military school and, if you’re advanced enough at a young age like Minato Namikaze and Itachi Uchiha, it gets even worse as the responsibilities you hold are greater and far more threatening. It’s not even young men dying at this point, as most die before they can even hit puberty in this horrible world. The best act of kindness that Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, could bestow upon me, Naruto Uzumaki, was a somewhat safe apartment, and some food from time to time, basically abandoning the child of his successor and friend to rot in pain and anguish for years.
This world was barbaric if not for the introduction of chakra. It was cruel to the weak or misunderstood and abused and manipulated the strong while bending the knee to those placed above the rest as ‘The Strongest’. It was a system built on oppression and power, not love and compassion.
I sighed as I looked over at Tsunade, “Continue. I’ll ask my questions later.” I stated as I folded my arms.
Tsunade nodded and continued, “In that case, for the second act, we have enacted a certain act… One that will be put into effect immediately after this meeting. The DEA, or Documented Evaluation Act, is an act that is meant to test the strongest shinobi in a village to immediately determine the next to be the Kage or leader of the village.”
I blew out an annoyed sigh, Yeah, she’s hellbent on me becoming the Hokage. And it isn’t just her either… I glanced over at the others and just about everyone there, including the Civilian Consul, were all sending me eager looks. I went from being the most hated person to walk this Earth to one looked up to so much that they are trying to force feed me the position of Hokage and a bunch of women to keep distracted. Or happy. Either way, they are trying to force me to be their leader and sucking up to me as much as possible…
