God of the Multiverse: A Shinobi's Destiny

Chapter 5

Four weeks.

Four long, boring weeks. After departing for Konoha, Iroh suggested they avoid any and all villages while escorting the Namikaze. Leaving the three girls with no entertainment but themselves for four entire weeks.

'At least it's over now.'

Walking in front, Akame yawned, the village lights of Konoha in the distance illuminating the evening sky, as she held a sleeping Kushina in her arms.

"Damn you, Iroh..." Ruri grumbled as she carried a weak and exhausted Eto on her back, her sandles scraped and dug up the grass.

Despite Eto's enthusiasm and unyielding will, it still hadn't been all that long since she had given birth to Kushina, and her body still needed some time to recover. In less than a week, Eto was already feeling lightheaded and weak in her legs.

Since Iroh had to be on watch for ambushes and attempted escapes of the Namikaze, he couldn't spare his wife any worry and let her sister take care of her.

"I'm sorry, Nee-Chan..." Eto whispered weakly, sweat dripping down her forehead as she wrapped her arms around Ruri. The woman had lost the will to joke or mess with the woman who was going out her way to help.

"Shut up. It's not your fault, Eto. Nobody could have known you, who was so cheerful and energetic after giving birth would have been physically weakened." With a sigh, Ruri whispered, easing the worry and guilt in Eto's heart.

'Though your husband should have paid you more attention.'

In the back of their caravan, despite being abused by Iroh's crew, the Namikaze was smirking at the ignorance of each and every Uzumaki around him.

Naturally, as a Shinobi, that could escape the clutches of the five Shinobi villages, avoiding the pursuit of the Uzumaki clan would prove to be child's play.

Iroh starred daggers into the back of the smirking prisoner as an uneasy feeling filled his bones the moment they departed from Uzu, and not once did the man show any resistance.

'What is your game?'

Finally, arriving at the entrance to the Hidden Leaf village, Iroh lifted his gaze and moved to the front of the caravan to provide the two gate guards with their entry passes.

The two guards skeptically looked over the paperwork. It was unnatural for anyone to visit their village during the night, and any sane person would arrive during the day since everyone should know the village gates are closed at this time.

"Please wait here while we inform Lord Hokage." One of the guards said before flickering away a moment later. Iroh nodded as the remaining guard handed him their papers.

The guard didn't speak and just starred at the caravan trying to enter the village. The papers said they were merchants and authorized Shinobi from Uzushiogakure the leafs allies.

Just as the man's gaze landed on the blond haired prisoner, his partner returned with orders from the Sandaime Hokage.

"On Lord Thirds orders, let them in, and take the prisoner to T&I. Sir Iroh Uzumaki, You are to report to Lord Hokage immediately to file your report. The rest of you are to be placed under surveillance temporarily to clear any suspension." The guard relayed the Hokage's orders and immediately began opening the gate so Iroh snorted the rest could enter.

Akame and Ruri visibly scowled when they were basically told, "We don't trust you" by their clan's long-standing allies.

"Let's just go." Iroh gave the two a smile before heading into the village, the vibrant light filling their gaze. Many stared in awe of the new scenery after coming to Konoha for the first time, others who have seen the village before like Akame and Ruri couldn't care less when comparing the architecture to their home village.
