"Those who are utterly wicked, kill them. Those who bully men and oppress women, destroy their chakra and expel them from the village. For any lawbreaker, the Village of Heaven has punishments to follow. You can proceed boldly, without hesitation or overthinking." Ryun instructed Nagato seriously.
In terms of cause and effect, it was Ryun who single-handedly elevated the ninja of the Village of Heaven to their high status, 'above ordinary people'. It was not that they used their own power to raise Ryun to his high position.
Therefore, Ryun did not owe any of them. Strictly speaking, this world was conquered by him alone. Very few people could truly assist Ryun. The vast majority were merely those benefiting from his light.
Some ninja in the Village of Heaven enjoyed the world's best benefits but remained unsatisfied. In that case, Ryun did not mind taking those benefits back.
"Yes. I understand what must be done." Nagato had already formed a plan in his heart.
Ryun nodded. After thinking for a moment, he still decided to offer a reminder.
"The Village of Heaven should not expand blindly, especially in terms of permanent population. Disposing of some 'trash' will only make the village tidier and healthier."
"There is another point to remember firmly. Within the Village of Heaven, apart from the Shadow's family members and everyone sitting in this conference room, no one else may have privileges. Everyone must abide by the law."
"Of course, I also hope you all do not act arbitrarily. After all, you are already at the pinnacle of the world. What others can enjoy, you can enjoy at any time. What others do not have, you can easily possess. I imagine you should be content."
Ryun swept his gaze over everyone. Before leaving, he needed to admonish them, lest they later completely 'let themselves go' and mess up his world. After all, once he left, he did not know how many years it would be before he returned.
After these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room stood up together. Each face showed varying degrees of apprehension, and all expressed that they would obey the law and not abuse the power in their hands.
"Alright, I believe you. Sit down." Ryun then proceeded to make some task assignments and entrusted his entire family, young and old, to their care.
"As long as one person in the Village of Heaven remains alive, we will not let any being harm the Shadow Mansion." Nagato vowed solemnly.
After all necessary matters were explained, Ryun planned to leave the remaining time for his family.
When the other members of the household learned that Ryun would leave this world in five days, regardless of whether they were old, young, or in their prime, they all begged Ryun to take them along. Within the Shadow Mansion, the sound of crying and sobbing was incessant, leaving Ryun feeling quite helpless for a moment.
"If you all follow me, how can I eliminate those invaders threatening the Ninja World? Should I protect you all while fighting enemies at the same time?"
"But my strength is great. Taking me along can help you. I won't be a burden." Kushina anxiously retorted.
"Then who will protect little Junlin and Mother? The other Six Paths level powerhouses are also about to set out soon. Before long, you will be the strongest in the entire Ninja World." Ryun said helplessly, rubbing his temples.
"Your arrangement is unreasonable. It should be Nanaise who stays at home. How can we let a daughter go to fight? I want to swap positions with Nanaise." Kushina's attitude was extremely firm. No matter what, she insisted on going along. Conversely, she did not allow Nanaise to take the risk.
Hearing Kushina say this, Nanaise immediately objected. "I can fight really well. Mother, you can't even beat me. Why swap positions with me?"
"I can't beat you? How much of your skills did I teach you? I can't beat you?" Kushina rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach her a lesson. But the next moment, Ryun stopped her.
"Alright, I will leave a shadow clone at home. It will be just like I never left." Ryun hugged Kushina, patiently comforting her. Having stayed at home for so long, Kushina had grown accustomed to his presence. Hearing that Ryun would be gone for several years, it was normal for her to find it difficult to accept.
"I'm not just afraid of being apart. I don't want to be protected by you all the time. I can help you too. Why can't you take me along?" As she spoke, Kushina couldn't help but shed tears again.
"Of course I need your help. You will also need to contribute effort soon. I'm not certain if the enemy will send more people to the Ninja World. If they do, the entire world will truly rely on you, the sole Six Paths level powerhouse, for protection."
"If there are too many enemies and the Ninja World faces extinction, it will still depend on your immense chakra to summon me back through reverse summoning. Your importance is greater than Nanaise's. I have never looked down on you."
Ryun's face was serious as he earnestly instructed. Seeing her man's expression didn't seem false, as if he truly was entrusting her with an important task, Kushina stopped crying for a moment.
"Are you telling the truth? You're not tricking me?" Kushina wiped her tears, looking directly into Ryun's eyes, trying to discern the truth.
"Why would I trick you? Could I lie about such an important matter?"
Ryun couldn't help but roll his eyes. But the next moment, his head was forcefully grabbed by Kushina. "No rolling your eyes. Look into my eyes when you speak."
"..."
"Performing a cross world summoning technique requires an extremely vast amount of chakra. This task cannot be accomplished even by Orochimaru or Sasuke. Only you, I, and Nanaise can do it."
"As for why you are the one guarding the home instead of Nanaise, it's because our daughter is indeed more skilled in combat than you. Whether you believe it or not, that is the fact."
Seeing Ryun speak so logically, Kushina had no choice but to believe and accept her man's arrangements.
"Papa, I want to go fight the aliens with you too." Little Junlin clung to Ryun's leg, crying so hard his nose was running.
The little chubby boy, though young, was somewhat sensible. He knew his father and sister were going on a long journey and would not return home for a long time, so he was also very reluctant in his heart.
"There will be plenty of chances to fight aliens. When Junlin grows up, Papa will take you to fight aliens too, just like your sister." Ryun smiled and patted his head.
"When will I grow up then?" Little Junlin asked tearfully.
"To grow up quickly, you must eat well, sleep well, and obey well."
Looking at his tiny son, Ryun's hatred for the Otsutsuki Clan deepened. This evil clan, which prevented him from enjoying family happiness, was one he absolutely had to destroy.
Little Junlin nodded, seeming to understand a little. He appeared quite obedient. Ryun then shifted his attention to Asuka.
"Mother."
Asuka knew she couldn't help. The only thing she could do was remain quiet and try not to trouble her son. But tears still fell uncontrollably.
A mother's worry and reluctance, Ryun knew all of it. But there was no way around it.
