"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"
In a dark office, a one-eyed man slammed his good hand onto the table with all his strength, shattering it into pieces.
In all his years as a ninja, he had only felt like this twice.
The first time was when his sensei, Tobirama, chose Hiruzen as Hokage, the second time was when Hiruzen chose Minato. Now, for the third time, it was discovering that all his years of study and planning had been stolen by someone.
Thousands of money had been wasted!
He invested a lot into that, but it vanished overnight.
His visible eye was blood-red like an enraged beast.
On the floor, there was a ninja lying in a pool of blood.
This was the ninja who was supposed to guard one of the hideouts, but instead, only brought the news of what had happened.
The others who had also come with the same purpose trembled from head to toe, afraid of being the next to be killed.
"Nothing was left?" Danzo looked coldly at one of them.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva nervously, the ninja replied: "Even the simplest appliances like the coffee maker were taken!"
He closed his eyes.
When he saw that nothing happened, he opened his eyes, but before he could feel relieved, Danzo was standing before him, placing his hand around his neck.
*Crack!*
"Useless!" Danzo spat.
It was no wonder he was furious.
Everything he had been working on for years was gone, just like that.
The worst part wasn't even that.
He feared that his secrets would end up being revealed.
"Who the hell did this?"
*Thud! Thud! Thud!*
He began walking back and forth, striking the floor forcefully with his cane.
Not far from there; something invisible to the naked eye, very small, disappeared without leaving a trace.
[–0–]
In his room, Luka brought his hands to his stomach and started laughing heartily.
"Hahaha! His reaction was hilarious!"
Luka wiped away the trail of tears running down from his left eye from laughing so much.
*Knock, Knock*
"Oniichan, may I come in?"
Hearing Maki's voice, Luka took a deep breath, stopping his laughter.
"Come in." He replied.
"Excuse me." Maki opened the door.
After five years, she had become even more beautiful and adorable.
For an 11-year-old girl, she was quite tall, standing at 147.8 cm.
Her long crimson hair was loose, with part of her bangs partially covering her right eye.
She had a slender and voluptuous figure for her age, but it was well hidden by armor. It was the standard armor that Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail wore.
Yes, Luka secretly gave her the [Equipment Erza Scarlet] while she was sleeping, 1 year ago.
Since then, it had been treated as a Kekkei Genkai that she awakened on her own.
All the armors adapted to her growth.
Because of that, adjustments weren't needed.
Well, that was also thanks to the cooperation between Luka and the Great Sage, who made modifications before handing it over to Maki. Of course, it was only truly possible because of two abilities he bought in the shop:
[Modeling (Gold)]: Modeling Magic is a type of Magic used to reshape objects according to what is imagined in the user's mind.
[Program (Gold)]: Programming Magic is a type of magic that allows the user to insert a set of commands into an inanimate object.
Patting the side of the bed beside him, Luka said: "Come here, sit next to me."
"Yes~!" She hummed softly, but before going over, she glowed, and then, the armor disappeared, being replaced by a maid-style outfit.
It was a white and dark blue version. A dark blue pleated skirt, dark blue thigh-high stockings with long black boots, a white high-collared button-up shirt with a butterfly ribbon, and over it, a long-sleeved blouse wide at the ends with white frills. Around the chest area, it was open, highlighting the white button-up shirt.
In her hair, there was a dark blue butterfly ribbon holding her hair in a high ponytail.
"How do I look?" She spun around once.
"Very beautiful." He praised: "For a moment, I thought you were a fairy!"
"Hehe. Oniichan talks sweet~!" She moved closer, sitting beside him.
Her blue eyes sparkled as she looked at him.
Seeing those sincere eyes, Luka felt his heart stir.
She was his little sister, but with each passing day, she was transforming into a beautiful woman.
"Did you talk with mom and dad?" She was direct.
Luka knew what she was talking about.
"Not yet." He replied: "I plan to talk to them today when they return from shopping."
"Hehe. Just like Oniichan, I also awakened a unique Kekkei Genkai~!"
She seemed very happy and satisfied with that.
Honestly, when she found out about his Kekkei Genkai, she was happy, but at the same time, she felt lonely.
It was as if he was distancing himself from her.
Although Luka's Kekkei Genkai was still an unsolved mystery, it was clear that it wasn't something simple or weak.
"Umm... Oniichan." She asked shyly: "Can I hold you one more time?"
'So, that was her purpose for coming here.' He guessed, but didn't expose her.
"Of course." He replied, transforming into a golden Slime.
"So cool!" Maki hugged him, resting her head sideways against his gelatinous body.
[–0–]
"Mom, dad, we need to talk."
"What is it, why are you so serious?" Kushina put the shopping bags down on the table.
Minato, who previously had a gentle smile, turned serious upon noticing the expression on his eldest son's face.
Maki was also present.
"Let's sit down first." Luka asked.
"Now I'm starting to worry." Kushina narrowed her eyes: "Did you accidentally hurt someone's child or something?"
"I won't make the same mistake twice, mom." He sighed, saying: "It's something more serious."
"In that case, wait a moment while I prepare tea." She went to the kitchen.
Minutes later, they were all around the table.
Maki was sitting beside Luka, while Minato and Kushina were sitting across from them with a steaming cup of tea.
Kushina took a big sip, calming her nerves, then said: "Okay, you can start talking."
"I awakened some kind of Kekkei Genkai." He began.
On the couple's faces, it was possible to see a slight change.
He continued: "It's actually, maybe some kind of special body. Honestly, I don't know how to classify it. Well, it's better if I show it rather than keep talking."
Then, he made his hand turn into golden gelatin.
When the couple saw that, they finally had a stronger reaction.
"That is..."
"Just like that time!" Minato completed.
The couple looked at each other.
Luka was already expecting that reaction, but pretended to be surprised: "That time?"
Kushina held Minato's hand over the table. Minato returned the squeeze.
At that moment, they seemed to have made a very important decision.
"Actually, Luka." Kushina said in a gentle tone, but with a touch of caution perhaps, concern yes, and mainly fear. She bit her lower lip before finally speaking: "You are not our biological son."
She hurriedly added: "Don't misunderstand. Minato and I love you as if you were."
"I know." Luka smiled.
"You're not surprised?" Minato asked.
"Well, to tell the truth, I already felt myself that it was something like that." Luka said: "And, I know that, even if it's true, it doesn't change the fact that you are my real parents who raised me for almost 12 years."
Kushina stood up and hugged him with tears in her eyes.
Minato also went over to him and hugged him.
"Yes, I am your mother – Dattebane!" Kushina exclaimed loudly.
"Me too!" Maki, not wanting to be left out, joined them in a group hug.
...
After they calmed down, Kushina and Minato talked about the mysterious being composed of slime that, in fact, had been this family's great savior.
"So, a relative of Oniichan was the one who saved me – Saved mom?" Maki asked.
"It seems so." Kushina agreed.
"About that spherical form... Would it be something like this?" Luka transformed.
When they saw that, the couple no longer had any doubts.
Luka returned to his human form.
"So, your father or your mother perhaps..." Minato said thoughtfully: "Knew that something was happening and saved us."
It was hard to believe, but it was the most plausible explanation that could explain that day.
Even today, they didn't know why 'that thing'—the golden spherical being—had helped them.
Now, perhaps, it was a way of showing gratitude for taking in his/her son / relative.
Luka continued explaining about this Kekkei Genkai.
"So, you can 'swallow' attacks, even turn them into your own strength." Minato was in shock.
Something like that was extremely overpowered!
"Not only that." He decided to go further, scratching his face: "I don't know if it's related to this, but... I can also use the First Hokage's Wood Style."
"What?!"
This time, Minato couldn't maintain his composure.
It was as if Luka had thrown a bomb onto the table.
Even Kushina brought both hands to her face, in shock.
Maki, who didn't understand the gravity of the situation, only felt amazed that her Oniichan was so powerful.
'As expected of Oniichan!' Maki thought innocently.
As if he hadn't noticed their reaction, Luka extended his hand and made a miniature tree grow in the palm of his hand.
Confirming that it was real, Minato sat back down in his chair, almost without strength.
"So... That means Luka is..." Kushina stopped halfway through the sentence.
Minato understood: "Yes, it's almost certain that he is."
