"Lord Dama, how do I go beyond my Mangekyo Sharingan? I feel as if I have reached the ceiling." Sasuke asked him. Shiroken was currently having dinner with Itachi, Sasuke and Izumi.

Shiroken shook his head, "Son, don't go down that path, it's not good. The only next step is madness. Many previous Uchiha have gone mad in its chase. Mangekyo is the last stage of the Sharingan, what you can do to make yourself stronger is Sage Chakra. Learn Senjutsu. Which animal is your summon?"

"A snake named Manda," Sasuke replied.

"Hmm, I know him. Tell him that it's my order that he teach you this. Naruto has already started his training under Jiraiya on Mount Myoboku." He advised the kid. Sasuke was 18 now and had grown out of his emo phase. Thanks to Itachi's care.

"So, when are you two making it official?" He asked.

Izumi blushed, "I've been trying to ask him the same. But Itachi is too clueless when it comes to catching hints."

"Believe me, Izumi, it's a common problem you will find in males. Even I don't get Tsunade's signals sometimes and she has to say it straight up." Shiroken started remembering a few funny scenes.

"When are you marrying Lady Tsunade?" Izumi asked.

"Not yet, but first I am going to space to deal with the imminent threat. Once I have done that, I will have enough time to marry and make a big family. But I don't know how big the Otsutsuki population is so it's not going to be easy to find each one and kill them." Shiroken revealed to the three.

Itachi sighed, "For the safety of this world, you are shouldering this great burden alone."

"Not really, it's also for the safety of my loved ones. My family, the Bijuu, and you all. Everyone is dear to me. And I am yet to find a planet out there that will be similar to Earth, so I'd say, I have to protect Earth, no matter what." He responded.

Soon, Izumi brought dinner, it was a simple homemade meal. Sasuke must be appreciating all this family love at this point.

After dinner, Shiroken went to meet Naruto, as there was something sealed inside him that needed to be released. It was a seal placed by his mother. Although it was supposed to break open if Kurama was released, but since Shiroken did it, it never occurred.

…

Mount Myoboku,

"Kid, come here." He called Naruto, 18 years old and looking like a man now.

"Old man, what are you doing here?" Naruto was always excited to meet him.

"I have something important to talk about with you. Tell me, do you want to talk to your mother?" He inquired.

He was speechless for a minute, this was too sudden, "What? Really? Can I talk to my mother?"

"Yes, she left inside you a seal that would have allowed you to talk to her, but it never got activated due to some circumstances. I can open the seal." He explained.

Naruto would be lying if he said he didn't want to talk to her, all this time he had only seen her photos and stories from his dad. He considered himself lucky however that he even got to meet his dad in the first place.

"Then… thank you, Lord Dama. I do want to talk to her, tell her that I have grown up. So, how do we do it?" He asked.

"Take a seat and just close your eyes. Don't think about anything, soon you will be seeing her." Shiroken instructed him and put a hand on his head.

The seal was to be unblocked if Kurama was unsealed traditionally, so Shiroken replicated that whole thing. Eventually, the seal got activated. It would take Naruto some time, so Shiroken left silently, it was time to prepare for the departure.

Naruto in his mind found himself standing in a strange place. It was all shining around him as if he was in heaven.

"Finally, we meet." A feminine voice resounded from behind.

He excitedly turned around and saw a pretty red-haired woman, he knew she was his mother, he had seen the photos and heard so much about her, "MOM!"

He quickly ran to her and hugged her tight, his eyes wet at the same time. Kushina patted his back and smiled, "You have grown so big, Naruto, and I must say, you look just like your father."

"Yes, everyone says the same, mum. Oh, you don't know, there was this really bad Ninja called Orochimaru, he used some forbidden Jutsu to revive dad. Lord Dama allowed Dad to stay with me and he's taught me so many things." Naruto non-stop babbled everything about the world. About his dad, how Hiruzen used their money, how Lord Dama rules the world.

She was overwhelmed by all this knowledge, "It sounds amazing, so much has happened. I hope Minato has been teaching you good things. Do you eat healthy food? And have you found a good girl to date?"

"Well, Ichraku gives healthy ramen now… and I think I found a good girlfriend too. Hinata is really kind." Naruto blurted.

"SO YOU'VE BEEN EATING RAMEN?" She glared at him angrily.

Naruto burst into laughter, "Haha, dad always used to tell me about your anger."

She blushed, "So he's been talking behind my back, I'll teach him a lesson someday."

The two talked to their heart's content, with no worry of going anywhere.

…

Dama City,

"Jin, Monari and Rakumatsu, take care of yourself. Don't make a mess of this world. Take Gyuki's advice if you are stuck somewhere. Hopefully, nothing will happen.

"Shirajin, take care of your mum and dad, okay?" he addressed the close ones before leaving the world.

Bijuu surrounded him. They were not coming along this time, and they understood. "Shiro, take care. I will miss you." Chomei cried.

"I will return soon, Chomei. I don't plan to fight them all in one go. We will slowly do it one by one, so I can get stronger at the same time." He assured the Bijuu, his beloved parents.

"Kick their asses, kid." Kurama cheered for him.

"Yeah, butcher them all," Shukaku added.

"Be careful," Matatabi was more worried.

"Shiro, here, take this scroll. It has a lot of food for you. I packed it myself." Saiken handed him a big sealing scroll.

Meanwhile, Tsunade stood at the side silently. She was worried but had no other choice. If Shiro didn't go after them, they'd come. "Return in one piece."

He chuckled and hugged her tightly for a few minutes, "I know, you've said it enough times now. Even when I close my eyes I hear you. I promise you, no matter what, I will return."

"Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to go if I stay longer. So, bye-bye everyone. Take care and eat healthily. Let's go, Kaguya." He started flying away, Kaguya followed behind him.

Everyone silently watched his figure leave Earth's atmosphere, soon to disappear from their sight. All felt somewhat sad and gloomy inside, cursing their inability to do anything to help him out there.

"Mom, look, what a strange blue bird." Shirajin pointed at a large blue bird on the tree. It was also looking at the sky for some reason, its eyes seemed too intelligent.

Then the bird made a strange sound suddenly and flew away towards the sky as well.

…

Space,

"So, tell me all the places that you know Otsutsuki live in. Start with the least number, and remember, if you try to be smart and get me in trouble, you'll be the first one to die," he warned Kaguya.

"Please, Lord Dama, I have a personal interest in seeing them dead. There is a small Otsutsuki outpost on every sector of the Universe, they serve as the starting location of any Otsutsuki sect's territory. At least one and at most 3 Otsutsuki remain there at a time." She explained to him the structure of the Otsutsuki clan.

"Do you know how strong a patriarch is or how many chakra fruits have they eaten?" He asked her.

She shook her head, "I was too low ranking, a pawn, a sacrifice, forget the Patriarch, I was not even allowed to see the Palace of Patriarch. But I reckon they have eaten thousands of fruits since they are the leader of the sect's chakra harvesting, they most likely get more than 60% of the harvests."

Shiroken nodded and planned his next step, they had a long way to travel anyway, even with portals it would take time.

Later, to cut time, he asked Kaguya about her past, "So, you've had kids, what happened to their father? Hagoromo never talked about that and neither did he tell Bijuu about him."

Kaguya's face contorted into a sneer. Shiroken noticed, "You don't have to tell if you are not comfortable, Kaguya. I respect your personal privacy."

*Sigh* "No, it's fine, I was just disappointed. My husband was… the most spineless and foolish human ever. His name was…"

*BirdRant, this is the mention of the bird you wanted.*
