"Well, I never really thought about my power. I think the trick to staying neutral is to first understand that you are not supreme. In the Shinobi world, sure, I am the strongest, but in the space... I don't know." Shiroken said, looking at the various stars in the sky.
"True. Mother was like this once too, she wanted peace on earth. But, I think it maddened her to think there were other Otsutsuki who might come any day and kill her. She didn't want to lose everything, and in that race to grow stronger, she did the unspeakable and grew even more mad." Hagoromo spoke, reminiscing about the old days.
"Lord Dama, I do hope that one day you can be strong enough to stop the Otsutsuki clan. I have a suggestion, I hope you can visit the moon once. I had a brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, who decided to live on the Moon to guard the husk of the ten tails. Now, an entire clan lives there. They have the Tenseigan. You already have the Rinnegan. I do hope that you can use these two to gain the strength to fight." Hagoromo suggested to him.
"I appreciate the help. By the way, can you tell me who the current Indra and Asura reincarnations are? Maybe I can stop their cycle of hatred once and for all." Shiroken asked him. He didn't want these stupid reincarnations to be reborn every few years and mess up the work he's doing.
"It's Sasuke Uchiha as Indra and Naruto Uzumaki as Asura," Hagoromo answered.
"Hmm... now that you said it, it was so predictable. But, both of them have different goals now. Sasuke didn't go the wrong path because his brother is still alive, nor he has any dreams of greatness anymore. Naruto just wants to become the Hokage in the meantime. All I have to do is to make them good friends." Shiroken planned.
"I will be indebted to you for that, Lord Dama. And if you ever need it, you can ask me for help. I may not be able to physically help but I can answer your questions." Hagoromo suggested to him.
"Then tell me how to deal with Black Zetsu, he's the only thing left that can spoil my plans." He directly asked him.
For this, sadly Hagoromo had no answer, "He is Kaguya's will. I do not know how that thing even exists, let alone killing it. But it surely can be sealed. I believe it will need a strong container like the 10-tail husk to contain it. As long as Black Zetsu stays, he will always try to get Kaguya released." Hagoromo said.
Shiroken sighed and thought about what he could do. As long as he dealt with Zetsu, he can be carefree and deal with the evolution of the world. "Will he die if I kill Kaguya?"
Hagoromo's eyes widened, "That... that should be the case. Are you going to release her?"
He shrugged, "That's the last resort. No matter what, I want to get rid of all destabilising elements. And knowing that Zetsu needs the Bijuu no matter what, we will remain enemies forever. Anyway, I should head back now, it was nice meeting with you. You got any words for the Bijuu?"
Hagoromo emotionally replied, "Tell them... their old man is proud of them. Even after facing so much hatred, they were able to love you. They were able to stick together. Oh, one more thing, their number of tails does not tell who is older and who is younger, they were all born at the same time."
"Hahaha... thanks, this will solve their centuries-old bickering at last." Shiroken laughed and pulled his hand from over the Old Toad Sage, returning to his mind.
"Lord Dama, come some time again, we can drink sake," Gamamaru suggested to him.
"Sure, old Sage, take care," Shiroken said the goodbyes and vanished from the spot. He didn't even need to use the Toad's summoning to leave.
Fukasaku then asked the old sage, "Great Sage, will you be sleeping again?"
"No, why would I sleep? I am full of energy now. Bring me more Sake and some snacks. Ah, send the young ones too, I will try to teach them the art of prophecy." Gamamaru ordered.
All thanks to Shiroken, the Old Toad would live a bit longer to make more prophecies.
...
Tsunade was locked inside the library and had no care about what was going on outside. She was shocked and left speechless by the new techniques and technologies made for medical healing.
But, there was something that shocked her so much more, ~God, most of these books are written by Shiroken himself. He never told me he was such a genius in medical studies.~
It made sense, Shiroken was now close enough to even recreate a missing limb with his Ying-Yang control. All that was left was now to master it and be able to create full bodies of humans. When that happens, no matter how much he denies it, Shiroken will have to accept that he is like God, since even the Otsutsuki didn't have such abilities.
"Amazing, using invisible light to see inside the body? This is great, it's like a Byakugan but made with technology." She exclaimed when reading about X-rays and Ultrasound.
"Hmm, these are great concepts. With this technology, a doctor can prepare themselves before even cutting the person open. And this... blood transfusion with emergency tools, blood replenishing tablets... I... could have saved Dan if I had these." She realised immediately.
Next, she read about the detailed study of the human heart and brain. She read about many psychological conditions, autism, ADHD, OCD and much more.
In terms of medicine, she read about technology and science-based medicine instead of chakra based treatments. The best thing about this was that it could be mass-produced and spread around the world.
"Who knew that the Dama City was such a treasure trove. All this, is worth more than any treasure in the world. The knowledge here can increase the life expectancy of the entire world in a matter of months." She muttered.
In the coming days, she would read everything in detail, the chemistry, the biology and everything else about the body. Slowly, she even learnt about her own phobia that she had mostly taken control over by now.
...
There were many things going on in the Dama City. There were small crimes, for that the Police were there. There were fires, for which many Shinobi experts in water nature were hired. There were homicides too every once in a while, for that the criminal investigation department was there. Not to mention, Jin would get himself involved since every homicide was bad for the city.
There were many market disputes, and for that, the Civil Dispute department was there. The port also had its own management department. The city with such a big population was not easy to control, particularly not when it was also a centre for trade and tourism, with all kinds of people coming and causing trouble.
However, today there was one major matter that was being talked about around the City's police and the Palace.
WHERE WAS TENKEN? Yes, the snake sage stuck in the sword. As it turns out, Shiroken had placed it somewhere and forgot about it. It had been months since anybody had seen the sword.
"Did you find it?" Monari asked the search team. It included the Sand Siblings, Naruto and his father, Kimimaro, plus the Uchiha clan and the security of the Palace.
"No, Lady Monari, he's nowhere to be seen. Is that sword supposed to be important?" Rin inquired.
Jin nodded, "It is, it was given to Shiroken by the White Snake Sage. The sword has an ancient snake sealed inside it. I think he and Shiroken had become good friends, despite their differences."
"Oh no, we should work harder to find it then. People who leave their friends behind are worse than scum." Naruto jumped.
"Yes, let's look around more." Shisui agreed.
"We should make clones and then look around," Kakashi suggested.
*Woosh* Shiroken returned to the Dama City and found the big crowd, "What happened? What's with this grand gathering?"
Monari told him the news, "Um... Shiro, we are not able to find Tenken anywhere."
Shiroken scoffed and blurted in reply, "Ah, that useless vulgar Snake in the rusted sword? I sold him away."
