Chapter 190 – 190. After Death [Final ]

Shiroken looked at the loud laughing voice, only to find a giant old man, sitting on a golden throne. He had a long bread, white hair, smoking a cigar and had sunglasses on his eyes. ~I-Is this god?~ he wondered.

He did come up with that theory as he even saw the bluebird sitting on the old man’s arm. It was the same bird that he saw during Nagato’s funeral. “A-Are you god? Am I dead?”

“Yes, my boy. God, Grandpa, boss, Universe… I am called by many names, I prefer grandpa, however. And indeed, you are dead. The stunt you pulled, you failed, no mortal can survive their consciousness being thinned out and spread around the Universe and still remain in control of themselves.”

Shiroken was saddened. He wanted to be with Tsunade, see his child being born. He wanted to embrace his own family.

God snapped his finger, “Son, don’t cry, here, have a cookie. It will cheer you up.”

Shiroken, took it, but he also found that he had grown even smaller now, “What’s happening?”

“Your mental condition decides how old you look. Right now, you are similar to a small child, eat now.” God explained.

Shiroken took a bite of the cookie, his eyes widened, “WOAH! This is the best cookie I have ever eaten. How did you make this?”

“Haha, of course, my dear wife made this. Take a seat.” A chair appeared behind Shiroken.

“So, what happens to me now? Can’t I see my family again? For once. I need to destroy the Otsutsuki as well.” Shiroken pleaded to the supreme being.

God sighed, “As the name suggests, this is the hall of judgement, souls come here after dying to get what’s due. You, my boy, now have a few choices. From the looks of your record, you were a real good boy, you treated the bijuu right, I am happy. You can now go to heaven.”

“I don’t want to go to heaven, I want to return to be with my family.” Shiroken requested.

“That’s not possible, son. Your existence itself was a matter of 1 out of infinite possibilities, an event that didn’t just occur automatically, there were millions of things that preceded your birth, that ended up with your creation. Don’t you want to know about your origins?” God asked.

Shiroken silently nodded, still more focused on his family than his past. But 1 per cent of his mind said he should hear him out.

God lifted his palm and soon a holographic video showed up, “The man you see here, he looks like an Otsutsuki, the first Otsutsuki actually. His name was Ichiromo Otsutsuki. However, his other name, which nobody knew, was Edward Chadwick. He was a person born with a soul from another world. We call them reincarnators, except this one, had no memories.

“His mission was to create a peaceful society in the universe. So, he accumulated a lot of power, had children and multiple wives to populate his clan. He was a nobleman, one who truly believed in peace and prosperity, a truly gentle soul. However, 3 million years ago, he died a natural death, refusing to remain immortal. However, the clan continued to expand, eventually forgetting the teachings of their 1st patriarch and going crazy for power. Slowly, they started to grow so big and their infighting increased to the point that they decided to divide themselves into sects.

“Ichiromo’s initial blood family was also on the decline, they were subjected to great troubles. Some of them were kidnapped by a few sects to be researched on, a few of the women were kidnapped so they could provide powerful heirs. Slowly, all of them died.

“However, their blood samples remained. The one who made you, Minoshiki, found the blood of the original Patriarch, he decided to create an ultimate weapon for himself, so he used the Patriarch’s blood and the body of a Senjutsu user to make you. Eventually, you came into existence, so powerful that just your birth destroyed the planet where the lab was.

“You were always the Child of Chakra, be it natural or not. You sensed the Bijuu being like yourself and your mind brought you to them on its own. Your body was made of the DNA of the strongest being in the entire universe from the past. And you only got stronger.”

Well, that was a lot to take in. “Why didn’t you intervene then?” Shiroken asked.

“I don’t do that, not anymore. My time of travelling and fixing the world has gone. Now, I pass judgement, rule over the Omniverse. I send good souls on missions to fix worlds instead. And you too can do the same, as you don’t want to go to heaven.” God proposed this new task.

“I will do anything you say as long as I can return to my family next. I will give you anything, please,” he said, putting up a condition.

God sighed for a few seconds, “That is not something I actually do, son. Once a soul has left its original world, it should not return there. But… I know how you feel. Fine, time and space is my bitch anyway, I can do anything I want.

“Here is the deal, you go to the world I am sending you, fix it, remove the evil, and then return. The world is called Dragon Ball Z. It’s a universe where its own multiverse exists. There are also gods who can destroy entire universes. After you return, I will send you back to your home.”

Shiroken nodded and got up, “Please send me then,”

“Haha, easy, boy. Your body constitution will be changing now, you will have a physical body, ones like other beings of the Dragon Ball Z Universe, however, you will retain all your powers.” God warned him as he waved his hands and changed his body composition. This was needed to make Shiroken compatible with this new world.

“I have a request,” Shiroken voiced, “Can you make it so that when I return I am not too late?”

“Of course, now go and make grandpa proud.” God snapped his finger and Shiroken vanished from his place with a face full of determination and confidence.

God sighed and got up, “Every single good kid rejects heaven, the pattern is strange.”

“Reee…” Barry, the phoenix voiced.

God laughed, “Haha, yes, the degenerate harem loving souls hate heaven as well.”

…

Planet Namek,

“Hahahaha… your fools, this isn’t even my final form.”

*WOOSH*

“True, because your final form is your dead body. *SLASH*” Shiroken’s voice reverberated and with a simple slash of his hand, the strange alien was chopped in half.

He soon realised that this thing could still survive, “Animal, just like those Otsutsuki, never dying.” He absorbed the alien’s energy completely, leaving it dead to its last cell.

He had just arrived in the universe and found himself on this strange planet. Seeing all the destruction and deaths, he flew around to find the culprits. In terms of his power, he was still as strong as before, but now he had an extremely strong physical body with all the organs.

“W-What are you?” a spiky-haired man questioned him.

Shiroken walked to him calmly, *BAM* a straight jab to the man in the stomach, making him kneel, “This is my first and final warning, get straight, or I will chop you into pieces. Remove that evil from your mind.”

“I AM PRINCE VEGETA… H *BAM*” Vegeta got a kick to his head.

“You are a prince of nowhere because when I will kill you, you will be the same as that lizard before, a lifeless heap of meat and blood. And you, who was that lizard I just killed? Where is he from?” Shiroken pointed at a bald dwarf.

“M-Me? I-I t-tha…”

Sighing, the kid standing beside the bald dwarf spoke, “That was Frieza, he calls himself emperor of Universe 7.”

“Does he have a family?” Shiroken inquired.

“I don’t know. Vegeta probably does, he used to work for Frieza.” the boy pointed at the kneeling injured Vegeta.

It only took Shiroken a glare for him to speak, “He has a father and elder brother, they are stronger than him.”

Shiroken nodded and flew up, into space. His goal was clear now, kill the evil, bring peace, then return home to see his son.

…

500 years later,

It took him so long to converge all the universes into one, making it easier to maintain. All the strongest and the clearest hearted beings were gathered to keep peace across the entire Grand Universe. He was more powerful than Zeno, who was now his adopted son, in whom he instilled great qualities and a sense of judgement. Not to mention, now there was only one Zeno, as all of them had combined into one.

“Son, I am leaving this universe now, it’s my divine will that I return to my roots. You are my legacy here, so be careful with it.” He addressed the adult Zeno and slowly vanished from his place.

Shiroken still looked the same, but his mind had changed a lot. Yet, he could not stop himself from thinking about his dear family back home. The Bijuu, Tsunade… his son.

Slowly, he felt his body flying in the void. He kept his eyes closed, hoping to see god again. However, that didn’t happen, as he heard the chirping of birds in his ears.

He opened his red tired eyes and looked around, he was in a vast grassland. His heart couldn’t contain itself when his mind covered the whole planet under his senses. The same known feeling, the air, the smell. His eyes became watery, tears fell, this was the first time he was able to do this here.

“I’m… back!” he exclaimed.

“YAYA…”

Attracted by the voice, he turned around, he was near a tree, and strangely, there was a small baby stroller. He quickly looked inside it and saw a little tiny baby, eyes red and hair white, just like him, but had a natural human skin colour as well as body.

Shiroken’s heart beat faster, a strange sensation he still couldn’t get accustomed to, “Are you, my son?”

He proceeded to lift him up, the baby also responded, raising his arms. *ZZZ* And the moment their skin touched, a shock ran down his body, Shiroken cried, yes, it was his dear son.

“You’re a week late!”

He heard the known voice, it had been so long and he craved for it. He turned around and saw Tsunade, as beautiful as ever, teary-eyed.

Shiroken smiled, one with a lot of tiredness hidden behind, “It only took me 500 years, Tsunade. But I am finally back.”

The two quickly ran to each other crazedly and hugged. Shiroken picked her in the air and kissed her, “I’m sorry,”

“I hate you… but I LOVE YOU!” she shouted. For someone who had lost all hope of his return, a week late was acceptable. Much more acceptable.

He embraced her for a long 15 minutes, feeling the warmth on his body. Tsunade was also shocked to see tears in his eyes. Knowing something must have happened, she decided to ask later.

“Is everyone okay?” Shiroken inquired.

Shaking her head, she sighed, “All are depressed, the Bijuu have secluded themselves to their shrines.”

“It’s okay, I will go to them. They most likely aren’t able to distinguish my new body. By the way, what did you name our son?” He asked.

“I have not, I was trying to come up with a name that can respect your memory. But you are back… LET ME HUG YOU MORE!” She again jumped at him, still unable to realise it wasn’t a dream.

He chuckled and caressed her head. sitting with his back resting on the tree, while she sat between his legs, her back resting on his chest. At the same time, he made his son fly to their arms. “I have a suggestion, let’s name him Ichiromo, Ichiromo Dama, son of Shiroken and Tsunade Dama.”

She looked at her son’s chubby face, “It’s decent, and honestly, anything would do as long as it’s not poopy.”

“Bwahahaha…” Shiroken heartily laughed, after 500 years, this was his first.

“I have a request though,” she spoke.

“Anything, Tsundae… anything.” He listened carefully.

She reddened all of a sudden, “Y-you promised me an army of children. I retain the right to name them.”

He cupped her waist in his arms tighter and hid his face beside her neck, “We will have the biggest family in the world.”

“I can’t wait, Shiroken Dama,” as much as crazy it sounded, she wanted it.

He flew away with her and his son, “Then let’s start from tonight and make an army of Children of Chakra,”

That day, the entire world rejoiced, people who feared their god had left them slept soundly. The bijuu who were sad, now became happy as ever. Chomei, who had stopped singing, sang a song.

This time, Shiroken was not an empty shell, he was just like them, one with a heart. The selfish dream he always had was finally complete.

And that was the tale of Shiroken Dama, the Child of Chakra.

[A/N: I was initially going to kill Shiroken and have a sad ending, but then thought, Fuck it, I don’t want stupid sadness.]
