Naruto: My Hiddden Village

Chapter 16: A New Home



After a long and tiring journey to the new valley using 'Venom', Tsubasa finally arrived at the border of the hidden valley. The underground journey, though fast and safe, was still draining of energy, mind, and chakra.

A sense of relief surged in his chest as he reached his destination. The darkness of the underground now gave way to a gentle breeze and the warm morning sunlight.

With careful movements, Tsubasa separated the 'Venom' part that wrapped around the Kongō clan group from his body. The layer of giant black worms slowly opened, freeing the group it carried.

Tsubasa gently released them under the shade of lush trees that grew on the edge of the valley. The morning sunlight piercing through the gaps in the leaves created a calming painting of light and shadow on the green grassy ground.

The Kongō clan members lay unconscious on the grass, their bodies looking weak and weary after the fierce battle and the long journey they had just endured.

The faces that were previously tense and full of worry now looked calmer, although still bearing traces of deep suffering and anxiety. Lines of fatigue were clearly visible, but at least, they were now safe from the deadly pursuit of the Kaguya clan.

Tsubasa made sure that all the Kongō clan members were still unconscious and safe before continuing to the next step.

He didn't want anyone to suddenly wake up and panic in a new environment that was foreign to them, and disrupt his plans. The silence of this morning was precious, giving him time to act without interruption.

He moved away from the Kongō group, seeking a rather secluded place in the valley. This new valley looked so beautiful and green, much wider than the Takagami valley that had been his home.

A clear river flowed quietly through the valley, flanked by densely and lushly growing trees.

Fresh and cool air filled his lungs, refreshing his body and mind that had been weary. The aroma of damp earth and green leaves wafted, awakening a new spirit within him.

In a secluded place, among the thick trees, Tsubasa summoned 'Venom' again. The giant black worm emerged from underground with a low rumble, ready to carry out its task.

As usual, 'Venom's task this time was to digest the remaining corpses of the Kaguya clan members he had defeated in the fierce battle. Past grudges and hatred had to be ended, and their fallen strength could be utilized for good.

'Venom' ravenously devoured the corpses, sucking chakra and nutrients from the bodies of the fallen ninjas. This digestion process was not just about removing traces, but also about gathering strength.

The digested enemy brains would be fused into the 'Giant Brain' sealed within Tsubasa's body, while their bodies would become nutrients that could increase his body and chakra strength. This was Tsubasa's way of continuing to grow and become stronger.

The process of digesting the corpses by 'Venom' was fast and efficient. In a short time, there were no more traces of corpses left in that place, only empty ground that was a former workplace of 'Venom'. The fishy aroma of blood and flesh that had wafted was now gone, replaced by the fresh aroma of earth and leaves.

After all the corpses were perfectly absorbed, Tsubasa sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing his chakra to accelerate the absorption of nutrients from 'Venom'.

He felt life energy flooding his body, restoring his drained stamina and increasing his strength. A warm and comfortable sensation spread throughout his body, making every cell feel refreshed again.

The fatigue after months of conducting research and fierce battles against the Kaguya clan seemed to vanish without a trace.

A moment later, Tsubasa opened his eyes, feeling his body refreshed and full of energy again. A glint of power radiated from his sharp eyes. He felt ready to face the next challenge.

At the same time, in the distance, the Kongō clan leader, Kohaku, began to show signs of waking up from his faint. His eyelids flickered, his forehead furrowed, and he began to moan softly. Slowly, his consciousness began to return. Confusion and disorientation still enveloped him.

Tsubasa approached Kohaku who still looked dazed and confused after regaining consciousness. His eyes were still blank, his gaze unfocused, and he seemed to be trying to remember what had happened. The gentle touch of the valley breeze and the sound of the river water trickling slowly helped him return to the real world.

"You're awake, it seems," Tsubasa greeted in a flat tone, breaking the morning silence. His calm and emotionless voice slightly startled Kohaku.

Kohaku nodded weakly, still trying to gather his scattered consciousness.

His head felt heavy and spinning, his body felt weak and sore from the Kaguya clan's pursuit and the long journey he had just undertaken. He looked around in confusion, trying to recognize this new place. Lush trees, a clear river, and fresh air... all felt foreign to him.

Tsubasa explained his actions of suddenly making them faint earlier. Calmly, Tsubasa said that he used a secret ninjutsu to move them all to this valley quickly and safely. He deliberately did not reveal the true power of 'Venom', to maintain the secrecy of his power.

Tsubasa added a fabricated reason, saying that this transfer ninjutsu required other people to lose consciousness so as not to experience side effects such as dizziness and nausea.

A reason that was reasonable enough to cover up the true capabilities of 'Venom'. He saw Kohaku listening to his explanation carefully, his face showing that he was considering his words.

Kohaku listened to Tsubasa's explanation attentively. Although a little doubt lingered in his heart, he felt that the explanation was logical and acceptable. After all, he had no reason not to trust his new master. Tsubasa had saved them from destruction, and brought them to this safe and fertile place.

In his heart, Kohaku guessed that his new master, Tsubasa-sama, possessed some kind of extraordinary space-time ninjutsu, a very rare and powerful ability.

He felt amazed and slightly shocked by Tsubasa's power that was constantly being revealed. Every time he saw Tsubasa in action, he was always stunned by new abilities that he had never expected before. It felt like staring into a bottomless abyss of power.

Tsubasa waited for the other Kongō clan members to fully wake up, then he explained the purpose of bringing them to this valley. He wanted to make sure everyone was ready and focused to receive this important information.

"Welcome to the Hidden Valley, from now on this place will be your new home," Tsubasa said in a formal tone, announcing the beginning of a new life for the Kongō clan. His words were spoken steadily and authoritatively, but also contained a promise of hope for the future of the wounded clan.

He explained that he had given them the task of building a new village in this valley, as a home and base for the Kongō clan. This was a golden opportunity for them to start over and rebuild their clan which had been destroyed and scattered.

Tsubasa showed them the vast and fertile area in the valley, which he had chosen as the location for the new ninja village. Nutrient-rich soil, abundant water sources, and natural protection from the surrounding mountains made this place ideal for a new settlement.

He gave them an area that had been specifically allocated for the Kongō clan within it.

He showed them the design and layout of this ninja village with a blueprint that he took out from a storage scroll. The blueprint was neatly rolled out, showing Tsubasa's vision for the future of their ninja village.

Inside it could be seen a magnificent Kage building, areas allocated for various ninja clans, as well as civilian areas such as markets, training areas, and so on. The village was designed to be a new center of power, where various ninja clans could coexist and support each other.

Tsubasa also gave the Kongō clan freedom and autonomy to manage their own clan area in this village. He wanted them to feel ownership and responsibility for the development of this new village.

He believed that with freedom and trust, they would be able to grow and make a great contribution. Trust was key to building loyalty and dedication.

The Kongō clan listened to Tsubasa's explanation with full attention and deep gratitude. Tsubasa's words gave them new hope and spirit. They were touched and grateful for the kindness and generosity of their new master.

After giving initial explanations and instructions, Tsubasa was about to excuse himself to continue with his other business. He still had many things to work on, including continuing his research and preparing himself to face the Karasuma clan whose strength he did not fully understand.

However, Kohaku stopped Tsubasa before he could leave. There was something else he wanted to ask, a final request that was very meaningful to him. The tone of his voice turned hesitant and hopeful.

Kohaku hesitantly asked for Tsubasa's help once again, this time to bring his younger sister and his fiancée to this valley. Worry was clearly visible on his tired face. He told a poignant story about being separated from his family when they fled from the Kaguya clan's pursuit.

Kohaku explained that he had hidden the two women in a safe place while they were being chased by the Kaguya clan. In the chaos of escape and battle, he was forced to leave them and hope that the Kaguya clan could not find them.

Kohaku was very worried about their safety and wanted to bring them to a safe place in this valley as soon as possible. He felt responsible for the safety of his sister and fiancée, and would not be at peace until they were reunited.

Tsubasa agreed to help Kohaku. He understood the worries and feelings of the Kongō clan leader. He knew that family was an important bond, especially in difficult situations like this. Empathy and humanity within him were awakened.

Tsubasa took out a map from a storage scroll in his ninja bag, asking Kohaku to point out where his sister and fiancée were hiding. He wanted to ascertain their location before starting this rescue mission.

After Kohaku pointed out the target location on the map, Tsubasa understood the distance and estimated travel time. A secluded cave in the mountains, not too far, but quite isolated. So, the two should be safe enough.

He sprayed a purple gas that could make people faint again at Kohaku, this time after asking for his permission first. He did not want Kohaku to feel disrespected or mistreated.

Kohaku obeyed and fainted again, entrusting this journey entirely to Tsubasa. He was sure that Tsubasa would be able to bring him safely to his sister and fiancée's hiding place.

Tsubasa left the Kongō clan group a bit far away, making sure they were safe and no one could see him using 'Venom'. He didn't want his 'Venom' power to be known by his new subordinates, at least for now.

He activated 'Venom' and moved at high speed towards the location that Kohaku had pointed out on the map. The rescue mission began. The wind whistled loudly in his ears as 'Venom' sped underground.

After traveling for some time with 'Venom', Tsubasa arrived near the target location, a secluded cave in the mountains. He sensed the presence of two people inside the cave, as Kohaku had informed.

He woke Kohaku up again, asking the Kongō clan leader to guide the way to the cave where his sister and fiancée were hiding. The rescue journey was coming to an end, and a heartwarming reunion was about to happen.

Kohaku happily guided Tsubasa towards the cave, his heart filled with hope and joy.

He couldn't wait to meet his sister and fiancée again, ensuring that they were safe and sound. His footsteps felt light, in line with his soaring hopes.

The process of picking up the two women went smoothly without any obstacles. Kohaku's younger sister, Rui, and his fiancée, Hina, greeted Kohaku with tears of joy and relief. This reunion was so emotional and touching. Tears of emotion and tight hugs colored their reunion.

They were very grateful to Tsubasa for his help and for saving their clan. They heard stories about the fierce battle against the Kaguya clan and how Tsubasa came to save the Kongō clan in the last moments.

Their respect and admiration for Tsubasa grew even greater. He was not only a savior, but also a hero to them.

After exchanging longing and expressing deep gratitude, the four of them returned to the valley using the same process as Tsubasa's arrival earlier, using 'Venom' for a fast and safe underground journey.

The Kongō clan group finally gathered back in the new valley, ready to start their new lives in the new sanctuary that Tsubasa had promised. Togetherness and new hope enveloped them.

This new Hidden Valley would be the beginning of the Kongō clan's revival and the start of Tsubasa's grand ambition in the ninja world.

Tsubasa felt satisfied that he had helped the Kongō clan and gained new loyal subordinates. His decision to intervene in the battle turned out to be fruitful. Investments in kindness always yield unexpected results.

However, he also realized that his responsibilities were increasing. He had to ensure the safety and well-being of all members in both valleys, including the newly joined Kongō clan.

A long journey full of new challenges had just begun. The vast and mysterious ninja world awaited him with all its surprises and obstacles. His ambition to reach the pinnacle of ninja power burned even brighter, and he was ready to face everything in front of him.
