Chapter 305: Rulers of the World

———

As the Gods left this world by rippling in and out of reality, Rumi and Jashin stared ahead with bafflement painted on their faces.

Before leaving, the three Gods had given Jashin meaningful glances, asking her with their eyes if she wanted to go back or not. Jashin was too stunned by the scene earlier to understand what their gazes meant and so they just left when they didn't receive any response from her.

Now that they were gone, though, they had questions. Both Rumi and Jashin turned to look at Neji who looked weirdly happy for whatever reason; some might say it'd be weird to not look happy after what just happened, but those 'some' would miss the point that Neji looked to be in love at the moment.

"What was that?" asked Jashin, looking at him cautiously. "You never told me you have some super strong being sealed inside of you?"

"Huh? Sealed? Ah, no." Neji turned to them, still smiling, and explained.

"She's my, uh, glucose guardian." Neji refrained from saying Sugar Mommy. "Each concept we intelligent beings come up with, has a personification, such as things like Creation and Destruction. One such thing is Luck, and this guardian of mine is the embodiment of luck that governs the Omniverse. She goes by the name Lady Luck."

"Ahh, right." Rumi nodded as she recalled the name. "It's that woman you spoke of earlier. Huh. Lady Luck?"

"Seriously..." Jashin still looked baffled. "First that card with such a thick death aura around it, and now this. How do you know so many strong beings anyway?"

"I don't know." Neji shrugged. "Anyway, now that this is over, I want to leave soon. I would have left right away, to be fair, but Lady Luck said she'll be gone for a while. I can't travel without her help, so I'll have to wait. In that meantime, I should initiate the main procedure behind making this world my praying house."

That would have been easy, very much so, if Neji had time in his hand to manage everything. People would accept him as their God and the world would enter a state of tranquil peace—if Neji had time to manage things. But sadly, he didn't, he needed to leave. Therefore, he needed someone else who would make things in his stead.

So, Neji came up with a quick answer to this problem.

As Neji the God of this newly claimed world, Neji needed a 'Pope'. He already had a Saintess in the form of Rumi, but Rumi wasn't the type of person for this job, more so when she was sealed for a millennium; she would hate being chained to such a thing. He needed someone else, someone who was already used to this so that they could effortlessly rule over this planet in Neji's stead.

Neji needed an Empress.

"—Hey, you lots!"

Just when Neji was having this epiphany, a gruff yet feminine voice yelled from one side of the empty terrain where Neji and the two girls were gathered.

Neji turned his head to the side where he blinked once he saw the huge, orange-furred fox glaring at him—though this time much more meekly compared to their previous encounters.

"Ah."

Neji waved at the fox.

"Hello there, good morning."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Kurama, growled as she dashed at Neji with a growl.

* * *

Inside Neji's heaven, in his divine castle, the girls were waiting worriedly once again. This time as well, Neji didn't allow them to observe what was happening down there, to not make them worry excessively, and therefore the girls were not up to date on what was going on in the outside world.

As they waited in the living room, a rift opened in space, through which Neji and the others started to walk out. They weren't alone, however, they had someone new with them.

"Argh!" A child-like voice growled. "Let me go, you bastard! How dare you disrespect me like this! Release me!"

The high-pitched voice complained and everyone's gaze was drawn to the 'thing' that hung from Neji's hand—the small orange fox that was being grabbed by Neji by one of its nine tails, leaving it to wave its limbs and tails in the air in an attempt to free itself.

"You dare?! How dare you?! Release me this instan—"

Neji dropped the fox to the floor, and it fell on the open jaw that made it shut up.

The worried girls who were waiting for Neji opened their mouths to welcome Neji, to ask him if everything was all right; but when they saw the pitiful fox fall to the floor helplessly, they all went 'aww!'.

"Neji! Why did you drop that cute thing to the floor?"

"That's the Nine-Tailed-Fox, mind you, and it's as powerful as ever."

Tenten, who had asked Neji the question while running towards the fox—flinched back and quickly returned to her spot, asking another question.

"Why is that thing here?"

"Let's not call her a thing, she apparently identifies as a female." Neji reminded her. "Anyway, I admit quite the injustice has been done to this Kurama thing, a lot by me myself, so I didn't kill her when she attacked me a minute ago. I thought, instead, Kurai needs a playmate anyway—"

"You bastard! I am not a kid! Who told you I agreed to be someone's playmate?! Revert me back to my original size! If not, take this to your face!"

The mini Kurama took a battle stance and opened her mouth wide; instantly, a mini-tailed beast bomb started to form over her nose—and she threw it at Neji's face.

Everyone in the room panicked as the ball of destruction approached Neji at a breakneck speed.

"Cut it off already, ugh."

Rumi grumbled as she stepped between Neji and the tailed beast bomb, opening her mouth wide as she took the bomb in her mouth and gulped it down.

A moment later, Rumi burped out smoke and rubbed her tummy.

"It's pointless, stop already. I am saying nicely since I am technically your granny." Rumi looked down at the frustrated little Kurama and seeing her expression she smirked a little. "Hah, look at you. What? Gonna cry?"

Kurama grumbled at being provoked but didn't try to attack any longer. Rather, she took in a deep breath and yelled, "Fuck you all, for real!", saying so she sighed and looked down at the ground. All nine of her tails rested on the ground, unmoving, as she felt sad and frustrated.

"A millennium… yet, I didn't get peace even for a day." Slowly, she looked up at Neji. "Why did you bring me here? Gonna kill me, or is this fake Kaguya going to eat me? I heard what the Gods said, I know you both are fakies."

"Well, neither." Neji shrugged. "As I said, killing you isn't my priority, I rather feel guilty, that's why I bought here, to this dimension where nobody would bother you."

"…Seriously? No, what's the catch?" Kurama who looked confused at first soon narrowed her eyes and realized there must be a catch.

"You just have to pray to me, like a good devotee—"

"Fuck off! Send me back, I don't want to be here!"

Neji laughed, and a few other people in the room laughed as well; realizing the thing in front of them was harmless, and was rather pitiful.

"Whatever," Neji waved it off. "Anyway, I have something more important to announce here. I need a 'Pope' who will represent me and preach to the common people about me so that I can grow stronger as a God. At the same time, as I am going to establish this world under a single ruling in a few hours, the same Pope will be the Ruler, the Empress of this planet."

Every girl in the room, one after another, blinked in surprise as the offer was brought up to them. They realized, soon, that he wasn't joking and he seriously planned to claim this world as his, uncaring of whatever the Daimyos may think.

"So I was asking for any volunteers." Neji looked around the room, one girl at a time. "Anyone interested?"

The girls exchanged glances, and slowly, they looked back at Neji.

A minute passed, and…

Nobody, at all, raised their hands.

"…What's wrong?"

"We are living like queens here, anyway, see no point in becoming a real one and getting dragged into politics and paper works."

"…."

When Arima Hyuga revealed everyone's thoughts, Neji went silent. Rumi patted his shoulder and he sighed, beginning to speak.

"I seriously need someone; this isn't a joke."

"…."

"…Tsunade? What about you? You have experience in this field, too, I was actually thinking about you when I came up with this." Neji proposed when he noticed the looking away awkwardly.

"Um, well," Tsunade spoke gibberish, unlike her usual self. "You know, I was forced into this by Jiraiya, right? I don't really like doing this sorta job…"

"Neji, I can do this, if you don't mind." Kurenai volunteered when Tsunade rejected the offer too. "I am grateful to you, and that feeling of being indebted would never go away; so this is the very least I can do, to help you out in your need."

All the girls looked at Kurenai and suddenly everyone looked guilty; they recalled what Neji had just said earlier, before he went to meet the gods. Though he later claimed to be joking, he had a point when he said they were being ungrateful even though they had a golden spoon in their mouths.

"Uhm, you don't have to Kurenai," Temari spoke up as she recalled how Neji had left the Sand Village intact just for her. "I actually know some management stuff, since both my father and brother have been Kages. I think I will do a better job; besides you have a daughter to take care of, no need to push yourself."

All the other girls started to volunteer at once; both Neji and Rumi hid a smile as they watched the girls grow more thoughtful in real-time.

"Alright, let's just go with me." Tsunade said aloud to shut everyone else up. "I am the oldest here, excluding… Miss Rumi, and I also have experience in managing things like this, better than Temari, while lacking distractions like a child that Kurenai has."

"Okay, then." Neji nodded to her. "It's decided, Tsunade will be the Empress of this world. Be sure to respect her, everyone."

Neji chuckled before pulling Tsunade towards him with telekinesis, watching her gasp as she came into his grasp, blushing at the sudden gesture. With the other hand, Neji grabbed Rumi's waist.

"In any case, we three will go reveal ourselves to the world and claim this planet as ours. In the meantime, you guys deal with these two." Neji pointed at little Kaguya and little Kurama. "See you soon."

Then, Neji teleported with Rumi using the flash of Flying Thunder God.
