The next morning, Dale woke up early.
He walked out to an empty, quiet training field behind the Senju compound.
He sat down on the soft green grass and closed his eyes.
Instantly, his mind went back into the warm, bright seal to meet with Kurama.
He didn’t have to be near Kushina to come inside her seal.
He and Kurama had some kind of connection since Dale had one tail worth of his chakra.
“Are you ready to learn, kid?”
Kurama asked, his massive orange tails swishing back and forth.
“I am ready,”
Dale nodded, sitting comfortably in front of the giant fox.
“The powers of the Rinnegan are divided into different abilities,”
Kurama explained smoothly.
“Hagoromo called them the Six Paths. Each Path controls a different rule of the world.”
Kurama held up one giant claw.
“The first is the Deva Path. It allows you to control gravity. You can push things away with incredible force, or pull them right to your hand.”
He held up a second claw.
“The Preta Path allows you to absorb any chakra or jutsu. The Asura Path lets you turn your own body into mechanical weapons. The Animal Path lets you summon giant beasts without blood contracts.”
Kurama continued listing them.
He talked about the Human Path, which could read minds, and the Naraka Path, which could heal injuries using the King of Hell.
“Most people fail because it is too much information to process at once,”
Kurama warned him.
“It takes extreme focus to make the chakra do these impossible things.”
Dale listened carefully to every single word.
His outstanding mind began to work in a completely different way.
Because he came from a modern world, he understood science, physics, and engineering.
“Humm, Deva path is interesting…”
Dale mumbled to himself, his brain connecting the dots.
“It is the manipulation of gravitational vectors and magnetic fields. And the Preta Path is energy conversion. Taking raw energy and breaking it down into a neutral state.”
Kurama blinked his giant red eyes.
“Vectors? Energy conversion?”
Kurama asked, completely confused.
“What are you talking about?”
“Watch this,”
Dale smiled.
Dale opened his eyes in the real physical world.
He stood up and looked at a massive, heavy boulder on the other side of the training field.
Instead of just blindly forcing his chakra out like a normal ninja, Dale visualized a scientific formula.
He calculated the mass of the rock, the distance, and the exact amount of force needed to move it smoothly.
He raised his hand.
His normal eyes instantly swirled into the bright purple ripples of the Rinnegan.
“Banshō Ten’in,”
Dale whispered softly.
*Whoosh!*
The giant boulder did not fly at him wildly or dangerously.
Instead, it glided through the air with absolute, perfect smoothness.
It stopped exactly one inch away from Dale’s palm, hovering in the air perfectly still.
He had total and complete control.
“By the Sage…”
Kurama’s voice echoed in Dale’s mind.
The giant fox was completely shocked.
“It took Hagoromo’s descendants months to learn that kind of balance! How did you do it perfectly on your very first try?!”
Dale gently lowered his hand.
The massive boulder dropped softly to the grass without making a sound.
“I used a modern approach,”
Dale explained to the fox with a warm smile.
“In my old world, we learned how gravity and energy actually work mathematically. When you mix that pure science with your incredible chakra, it removes all the guesswork.”
Kurama let out a loud, booming laugh inside the seal.
“You are a terrifying human, Dale!”
Kurama cheered happily.
“Your brain is a far greater weapon than these eyes! Come on, let’s move to the Preta Path. I want to see what your crazy modern mind does with energy absorption!”
Dale smiled brightly.
With Kurama’s knowledge and Dale’s modern science, mastering the eyes of a god was going to be incredibly easy.
For the next few hours, Dale and Kurama acted exactly like two little kids who had eaten way too much sugar.
They did not stop playing with the new powers.
They tested everything.
Dale pushed giant rocks, pulled heavy logs, and absorbed all kinds of energy.
He was having the time of his life.
Then, he decided to try the gravity powers on his own body.
When Tsunade finally walked out to the quiet training field to check on him, she stopped in her tracks and blinked.
It was an incredible, yet incredibly silly sight.
He was floating high up in the air.
He was slowly drifting around in circles, completely upside down, looking just like a lost anti-gravity doll.
“Dale?”
Tsunade called out, crossing her arms.
A highly amused smile grew on her beautiful face.
“What exactly are you doing up there?”
Dale spun around in the air so he was facing her.
He had a huge, bright smile on his face.
“Tsunade! Look at this!”
Dale laughed happily, waving his hands.
“I figured out how to use the gravity vectors on my own body mass! I am flying!”
He pointed a finger at his own head.
“And Kurama is laughing so hard inside the seal right now. We are having a blast!”
Tsunade shook her head and let out a warm, musical laugh.
She stood there watching him float.
She knew his major in university was science and engineering.
He wanted to do major business at first because he wanted money but because of her.
He could pursue his true dream.
He loved math, physics, and figuring out how the universe worked.
But in his old world, science had very strict rules.
Humans could not fly.
Chakra did not exist.
Coming to her ninja world was like opening a massive new door for his brilliant mind.
Here, he could mix his genius engineering brain with the impossible power of chakra.
He was finally turning all of his wildest theories into reality.
“You look like a little boy who just got the best toy in the entire world,”
Tsunade teased him gently.
Dale slowly lowered his gravity.
He floated down smoothly until his feet gently touched the soft green grass.
“It is way better than a toy,”
Dale said, walking over to wrap his arms around her waist.
“In my world, I could only read about gravity and energy in thick, heavy textbooks. I could only do the math on a piece of paper. But here? Now I can actually hold it in my hands. I can feel the world moving. It is beautiful.”
Tsunade looked deeply into his normal, warm eyes.
She saw pure, innocent joy shining in them.
It made her love him even more.
“I am very glad you are having so much fun, Mr. Engineer,”
Tsunade smiled softly, reaching up to fix his messy hair.
“But you cannot stay out here playing with gravity all day. Breakfast is ready. And your six hungry students are waiting for their teacher inside.”
Dale chuckled and kissed her cheek.
“You are right,”
Dale smiled.
“Science experiments can wait. Pancakes come first.”
The large dining room inside the Senju compound was loud and full of life.
Dale walked in carrying a massive stack of hot pancakes.
He set the plates down, and the six hungry children immediately started eating.
Tsunade sat next to Dale, sipping her hot tea with a peaceful smile.
Across the table, Nagato looked up from his food.
He looked at his own reflection in a shiny metal spoon.
He did not have the scary purple eyes anymore.
He had Dale’s warm, normal eyes.
For the first time in his life, his body did not feel heavy or tired.
He felt completely healthy.
Nagato looked at Dale with pure, happy gratitude.
“Thank you for the food, big brother Dale,”
Nagato whispered softly, leaning across the table.
“And… thank you for my new eyes. I love them.”
Dale smiled and gently tapped his finger against his lips.
“You are very welcome, Nagato,”
Dale whispered back.
“But remember our promise. We have to keep the eye exchange a complete secret. If people ask, just tell them Tsunade gave you special medicine to heal your eyes.”
Nagato nodded his head very seriously.
“I promise. I will not tell anyone.”
After breakfast, everyone helped clean the dishes.
Just as they finished, there was a polite knock on the heavy front doors.
Dale walked over and opened the door.
Standing on the porch were three young boys.
One had bright blonde hair and a friendly smile.
It was Minato Namikaze.
Standing next to him was a very serious-looking boy with dark hair, Fugaku Uchiha.
And on the other side was a quiet boy with pale white eyes, Hiashi Hyuuga.
“Good morning, Lord Dale,” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Minato said politely, bowing his head.
“We are sorry to bother you so early. Is Kushina home?”
“Good morning, boys,”
Dale smiled warmly, opening the door wider.
“Come on in. They are all in the living room.”
The three boys walked inside.
Kushina jumped up from the floor when she saw the blonde boy.
“Minato-kun!”
Kushina cheered, running over to him.
“Did you come to play?”
“I did,”
Minato smiled happily, scratching the back of his head.
“I brought the new ninja card game we talked about at the Academy.”
While Minato and Kushina sat down to play, Fugaku walked over to Mikoto.
Fugaku stood very stiffly.
He cared a lot about Mikoto, but he was a proud Uchiha.
He had absolutely no idea how to express his feelings properly.
He crossed his arms and looked away.
“Fugaku,”
Mikoto smiled gracefully.
“It is nice to see you. Did you come to visit me?”
“I… I just came to check on your training,”
Fugaku said, trying to sound strict and serious.
“The Uchiha clan needs you to be strong. I wanted to make sure you are not slacking off.”
Mikoto let out a soft, elegant laugh.
She knew exactly how to read him.
Underneath his strict words, he was just worried about her.
“Do not worry, Fugaku,”
Mikoto answered kindly.
“My training with Dale-sensei is very hard. I am getting much stronger.”
Fugaku relaxed his shoulders just a little bit.
“Good. That is… good.”
Across the room, Hiashi walked slowly over to Hanako.
They had known each other since they were very young babies.
Hiashi was always very polite, and he always tried his best not to scare her.
“Good morning, Hanako,”
Hiashi said with a deep, respectful bow.
“Good morning, Hiashi,”
Hanako said, returning the bow with her gentle smile.
She looked behind him, expecting to see someone else.
“Where is your twin brother? Where is Hizashi?”
Hiashi’s face instantly dropped.
A deep, heavy sadness filled his pale eyes.
“Hizashi is not coming,”
Hiashi said quietly, his voice full of pain.
“You know, because he is from the branch family… he had to start his duties immediately. He is serving the main family now. We cannot play together like we used to.”
Hanako looked down at her hands.
Her heart broke for both of them.
It was the cruel rule of the Hyuuga clan.
One brother was born to rule, and the other was born to be a servant in a birdcage.
Hanako squeezed her hands into tight fists.
She remembered her dream to abolish the branch family rules.
She looked up at Hiashi with brave, determined eyes.
“I am so sorry, Hiashi,”
Hanako told him softly.
“But please do not lose hope. One day, things are going to change. I promise.”
Dale watched all the kids talking in his living room.
He saw the friendships, the awkward feelings, and the heavy burdens they carried.
He smiled to himself.
They were just kids, but they were the future of the village.
And he was going to do everything in his power to make sure their future was bright and free.
Miso: I am going to update this fic every other day so the chapter would stack up naturally.
As for new fic I changed my mind.
I will write My Wife Is a Beautiful Pirate instead.
The FMC would be Boa Hancock.
I tried to write Re:Zero but the world to me was just to thin.
I can’t put many ideas to it much.
Sorry.
