Nobunaga Oda's Isekai Cultivation Experience

With the words of Senichi and the reaction of Nana, even Nobu could understand that they must have been made aware of his reincarnation. He already suspected this to be the case, but, now that he had all but confirmed it, a wave of fatigue and helplessness washed over his body, sapping it of strength.Noticing the tensions leaving Nobu's body, Yui, once again, moved to support him. This earned her an approving look from Nana, who, for Nobuhime's sake, explained, "Look, look, Hime-chan. This is the girl I was telling you about before. She is one of Nobu-chan's future wives. More importantly, she is already with child~."With Nana providing a vantage for her, Nobuhime was able to see the tiny frame of Yui supporting Nobu's body. If she were capable of speech, she probably would have complained about how close they were. Instead, she just stared at Yui with an appraising look that didn't suit most adults, much less a child of three months.Feeling a shiver pass through her body, Yui looked towards Nobuhime with a stunned expression on her face. She didn't exactly what had happened but it felt like an invisible, slightly hostile force had penetrated her body. It was frighteningly similar to bloodlust, but, instead of causing her to feel pressured, it was like all her secrets had been exposed...As this and many other thoughts were crossing Yui's mind, Nobuhime left her feeling at an even greater loss as the latter suddenly nodded her head before giving a thumbs-up gesture. She even went as far as to intone an adorable, "Ba-bun...!" as if to say, 'Not bad...!' in baby speech..."Isn't this just wonderful, Yui-chan? You've now received both of our blessings. Make sure you take proper care of Nobu-chan in the future, okay~?"Before Yui could even think to respond, Nobu, having recovered his sensibilities, held up his hand to interject, stating, "Okay...hold up...mind explaining what the hell is going on here? I kind of have an idea but I just want to make sure..."Adopting a slight pout, Nana adopted a chiding tone as she said, "Nobu-chan...language..."With a somewhat incredulous look on his face, Nobu resisted the urge to ask what he had said. He was pretty sure he hadn't said any curse words, but, with far more important matters at hand, he offered a curt, "Sorry..." before following it up with, "Can you please explain this situation? As far as I can tell, the three of you already know the truth about me. What, exactly, is going on...?"Returning a smile, Nana looked like she was about to respond to Nobu's question when the world around him suddenly turned a peculiar shade of grey. It was almost like a thin layer of grey ash had covered the entire world, petrifying it in place."What the actual fuck...?"Looking around him, Nobu confirmed that everyone and everything in his surroundings had frozen in place. At least, this was what he had thought until he noticed the bundle moving in Nana's arms. Nobuhime was apparently unaffected by the strange phenomenon.Staring at the raven-haired infant with an accusatory glimmer in his eyes, Nobu asked, "Did you do this...?" with a conflicted look on his face. In response, Nobuhime just waved her inordinately small hand in a dismissive, babbling, "Na~" in baby speech.Just as he was about to ask if she knew who did, a loud buzzing sound caught Nobu's attention as the stone tablet on the ground vibrated with such intensity that it could not be ignored. This gave him a pretty good idea who had interfered, his expression darkening as he picked up the tablet to confirm what he already knew to be true.*You have 2 New Messages!*"Haaaaa...."------------------------------------Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Hey, kid, pick up the phone! (Sent: 9s ago.)Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Maintaining a stop like this isn't easy. (Sent: 7s ago.)Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Did you just sigh...? (Sent: 3s ago.)------------------------------------Feeling a cold sweat break out across his body, Nobu quickly tapped away a response before the unreasonable Goddess could lose her temper.------------------------------------Demon King of the Sixth Heaven: Sorry. This is just a lot to take in...Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Hmmm...we can understand that. Very well, then. We shall, once again, forgive you. Be grateful.------------------------------------Though a part of him wanted to tell her to take his gratitude and shove it up her ass, Nobu calmed himself by taking a deep and typing...------------------------------------Demon King of the Sixth Heaven: Thank you for your clemency...Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: No problem~!Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Now, before you end up making a mess of things, let us give you a bit of advice...Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: DON'T GO AROUND TELLING PEOPLE YOU'RE REINCARNATED!Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: I mean, seriously, have you lost your mind? We get that you want to trust your family but there are limits to what you should and shouldn't say...!------------------------------------Furrowing his brows, Nobu wanted to defend his actions by pointing out that the trio, very clearly, had some kind of foreknowledge regarding the situation. If it was just Nana, he might have ignored it. She was, after all, a little odd in the head. That didn't explain why Senken and Senichi had similar reactions.------------------------------------Demon King of the Sixth Heaven: What was I supposed to do? It's pretty fucking obvious they knew something was up. If I lied to them, it would have only made things worse.Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Hmmm...you do have a point. Still, you shouldn't go around advertising your reincarnation. As you have no doubt realized, you are not the only person to have been reborn in that world. Rather, to reduce the number of worlds destroyed as a result of a single person's selfishness, it has become common to pit multiple reincarnators against each other...------------------------------------"You've got to be shitting me..."------------------------------------Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Hmph! What an uncouth turn of phrase...Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Unfortunately for you, Gods such as myself are incapable of speaking falsehoods.Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: You really should be grateful. Under normal circumstances, you would have needed to discover this on your own. Now, thanks to my warning, you have a slight edge over the competition.Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: You're welcome.------------------------------------"..."Resisting the urge to smash the stone tablet into the ground, Nobu took a very deep breath as he processed everything he had just read...Though he had never been known for his intelligence, Nobu wasn't an idiot. Based on her words, he was pretty sure the Goddess had made some kind of mistake when he was being reincarnated. Why else would she go through all this trouble to contact him?While he was pretty proud of his figure, Nobu understood he wasn't the most attractive person to ever walk the Earth. His dick was also pretty average compared to the more infamous porn stars, so, unless she had made a mistake, he couldn't fathom why the Goddess would do him any favors after basically telling him to fuck off during his reincarnation...Understanding it was best to leave such matters lying, Nobu steeled his heart and mind before opening his eyes and typing away on the stone tablet...------------------------------------Demon King of the Sixth Heaven: Thanks. I appreciate the heads up.Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: ...Transcendent Goddess of the Six Paths: Good. You should. After all, it's not every day a Goddess such as ourselves goes out of their way to help a mortal. If you didn't show proper gratitude, we would have cursed you with Divine Punishment...!------------------------------------Though he was beginning to doubt she possessed such power, Nobu expressed his gratitude a third time before asking the all-important question of why his mother had been reincarnated as his sister. In response, the Goddess informed him that she had died in a plane crash a couple of years after his death. When she died, her only wish was to be able to see him again, so, after confirming she didn't want anything else, Elizabeth, now Nobuhime, was reborn into the world of Terra on the same day that his soul crossed over.Simply put, Nobu's mother had given up the opportunity to obtain a cheat just so she could see him again. This caused a sour feeling to spread through Nobu's nose, but, the moment he looked towards the blue-eyed infant to express his gratitude, his mind blanked as he saw her averting her eyes with a blush.("The fuck...?")For a brief moment, Nobu mistakenly believed that Nobuhime had, somehow, been following his conversation with the Goddess. Fortunately, this was not the case. Rather, despite her best efforts, Nobuhime could not prevent her body from performing one of the most notorious actions most infants were known for.She pooped.Smelling the foul odor just as he was about to voice his concerns, Nobu's face scrunched up as he habitually replied, "Holy fucking shit! What the fuck have you been eating...!?"With an aggrieved look on her face, Nobuhime waved her tiny fist towards Nobu as if she wanted to smack him on the head. Unfortunately, she was far too young for this, so, for the first time in her life, she began to cry out of spite.........After promising the Goddess he wouldn't arbitrarily reveal their identities in the future, Nobu's eyes glazed over as he watched the world around him slowly rewind to the point just before Senichi had asked him to reveal the truth. This time, he explained away his surprise by revealing that Nobuhime had been blessed by the Gods with tremendous intelligence and luck.Hearing about how special her daughter was, the only thing preventing Nana from spinning around and dancing was the fact she was seated. The resplendent smile she presented gave the impression it would never wane, but, the moment she moved closer to nuzzle Nobuhime's cheek with her own, it promptly melted into a mask of stoicism as she remarked, "Ah...she pooped..."On that note, Nana promptly rose to her feet before offering a courteous nod towards Senken and Senichi before shifting her gaze to Yui and asking, "Yui-chan...have you ever changed a diaper...?"Surprised by the sudden address, Yui's back straightened as she politely replied, "No, Lady Suzuki, I have not..."Nodding her head in understanding, Nana's expression became somewhat mischievous as she said, "This is a good opportunity for us to get to know one another. Come, I will teach you."Shifting her gaze to Nobu, a wave of exasperation washed over Yui's body as he promptly nodded his head in approval. This left her with no choice, so, after helping him sit straight, she rose to her feet and answered, "It would be a privilege to learn from Lady Suzuki..."Turning her eyes up at the young girl, Nana's expression became playfully reproachful as she said, "Come now, Yui-chan. There is no need for such politeness when speaking with family. Now that you are Nobu's intended, feel free to address me as Nana or Okaa-chan."Though she felt a cold sweat break out across her body, Yui managed to appear unflustered as she forced a smile and replied, "Very well, Nana...sama..."Pursing her lips at the unnecessary honorific, Nana was about to protest when Senken spoke out, asking, "Aren't you going to change Hime-chan's diaper? I'm starting to feel sorry for her..."Shifting her gaze to Senken, Nana's eyes squinted into a slight glare. Instead of lashing out at him or making a scene, however, she just nodded her head, answering, "Indeed...come along, Yui-chan." before spinning gracefully on her heels and departing the room.Unable to refuse, Yui offered a courteous bow towards the three men before quickly following after Nana's retreating figure. This left Nobu alone with his father and grandfather, but, before he could even begin to feel nervous, the latter asked, "How's yer alcohol tolerance, brat...?"......(A/N: Imina over here casually revealing world-shattering information...)

Though he wouldn't have considered it a benefit in his previous world, one of the things Nobu had learned about his cultivation method, the Breath Progression Technique, was that it helped keep his mind clear while drastically reducing the time it took foreign substances to filter out of his system.Simply put, the higher his cultivation became, the greater resistance Nobu had against things like poisons, toxins, and foreign aura. It was what had allowed him to resist Suzune's initial seduction attempt, and, months prior, the reason he had awoken during Inami's assault.Nobu's base had increased exponentially these past few months, so, the moment he heard his grandfather's question, a cheeky grin developed across his face as he replied, "Better than most."Returning a rather fierce-looking smile of his own, Senichi waved his hand to produce a massive crimson and black gourd with the emblem of the Oda Clan embossed on the side. Before he could explain what it was, Senken beat him to the punch, shouting, "You hollow-hearted old fart! You lied to me...!"With a fierce look that didn't lose out to his father's, Senken's golden eyes blazed like flames as he glared at the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the room.Snorting through his nose, Senichi flatly replied, "I hid it away to keep it safe. We both know what kind of man you used to be, Senken. You would have stumbled across it while drunk and consumed the entire bottle without a second thought. Don't blame me for performing a duty you would have neglected."Though he looked like he wanted to punch Senichi in the face, Senken ultimately unclenched his fists after glaring at the man for the better part of a minute. Senken didn't want to admit it but his father was right. Back then, he had been an irredeemable drunk. The stress of seeing his eldest son in a catatonic state hadn't made things any easier, so, for a time, he sought comfort in a functionally endless supply of cheap liquor.Clicking his tongue, Senken's expression gradually relaxed as he plopped onto his seat with a thud. Then, after shaking his head, he gestured towards Nobu, saying, "Come and take a seat with your grandfather and me. This sake is something special. I'll pour the first round.""As you should..."Handing over the massive gourd to his son, Senichi waited until Nobu had taken a seat before explaining, "The Oda Clan has a number of traditions. This is one of our oldest, a ritual that starts at birth and ends when one becomes an adult. Since the original name has been lost to time, we have taken to referring to it as Men's Sake..."Resisting the urge to call the name retarded, Nobu just nodded his head as he accepted the saucer poured by his father. He noticed the contents were, somehow, even clearer than water. If not for the pungent aroma unique to sake, he would have thought it was a high-quality, highly distilled vodka."Hmmm...you don't seem particularly interested in our traditions..."Noticing the disinterested look in Nobu's eyes, Senichi squinted his own while holding out his hand to have his cup filled. His gaze caused Nobu's mask of calm to waver, but, rather than pussyfooting around the issue, he answered, "It isn't the traditions of the Oda Clan I have no interest in. I find the traditions of Nian, in general, to be back-asswards. I have recently come to understand how things developed to this point, but, at the same time, I can't help feeling that the entire world is stagnating because of the decisions made by a few asshats with unreasonable power..."Though he was well on his way to becoming one of those asshats, Nobu didn't care about ruling over the country, much less the world. He simply wanted the power to protect the things he wanted to protect. He was even thinking about supporting his brother or venturing to the capital to lend his support to the Imperial Family. The original Oda Nobunaga had marched his army upon the capital, but, instead of conquering it, he had gone to pay his respects to the declining Imperial Family.While it was heavily debated by historians, most people believed that Oda Nobunaga never had the intention of ruling over Japan. His goal was to unify the nation's people and usher them into an era of progress rather than stagnation. Thus, even though he could have easily established himself as a dictator, he helped to centralize power for the Imperial Family while pressing them to enact policies that rewarded merit and competency rather than bloodline.Similar to his historical predecessor, Nobu was of the mentality that a person's race and lineage were inconsequential. He had nothing against families stockpiling funds and resources for their successors, but, no matter how he looked at it, inheriting political power was complete and utter nonsense. Being born a Noble didn't automatically make you a great ruler...Seeing Nobu's brows furrow into a pensive look, a slight grin developed across Senichi's face as he held up his cup and stated, "If you don't like it, become strong enough to bring about the changes you wish to see in the world. Others might call you selfish, but, in the end, who isn't? The only thing people truly care about in this world is their personal happiness. Those that argue that they wish to protect the happiness of others are simply lying to themselves. The only reason they act that way is because seeing others happy makes them happy. If it didn't, they wouldn't even bother..."Throwing back his saucer, Senichi managed to down the contents of his cup in three inordinately large gulps. When he was finished, an even larger smile had appeared on his face as he exhaled a literal plume of steam before remarking, "I can't say much for its flavor but it has one hell of a kick to it."Though Nobu had no idea what to make of Senichi's assessment, Senken's eyes began to glisten as he emptied the contents of his own saucer. As his father had pointed out, there was no discernible flavor to the crystal-clear liquid, but, the moment it flowed past his lips, it was like a fire had spread through his mouth before invading his throat and burning his insides. It was inarguably one of the strongest sakes he had ever tasted, and, even after exhaling a plume of steam, he could feel the fire lingering in his body like the feelings of anxiety that preceded a climactic battle."Not bad at all..."Staring at the two gruff-looking individuals as if they had lost his mind, Nobu was tempted to set his saucer down when both men looked towards him with slight ridicule in their eyes. Senichi had even adopted a mocking sneer, so, after grinding his teeth for several seconds, Nobu followed their example by downing his saucer in a few large gulps.With the liquid sliding smoothly down his throat, a feeling of incongruency washed over Nobu's body and mind as he lowered his empty saucer and incredulously remarked, "It tastes mellow..."Bursting out laughing, Senichi and Senken smacked their knees and thighs while Nobu watched on with an increasingly cold expression on his face. If he hadn't seen Senken fill his cup from the same gourd, he would have thought they had pulled a prank on him.Fortunately, just as Nobu was considering throwing his saucer at them, Senichi wiped away a tear from his eye before explaining, "This is no ordinary sake, brat. In fact, when it first starts out, it is basically just water. You see, whenever an heir to the Oda Clan is born, we fill a special gourd with water from a spring nourished by spiritual energy. The only additional ingredient is a single drop of blood from the newborn infant..."Furrowing his brows, Nobu began to feel a little nauseous. Fortunately, Senichi wasn't done with his explanation, adding, "A formation inscribed on the interior of the gourd converts any liquid placed within into a very special kind of sake. What makes it special, you might ask? Well, you see, its flavor varies depending on the person who consumes it..."Adopting a missive grin, Senichi waited for Senken to fill his saucer a second time before taking a much smaller sip and stating, "To those who support you wholeheartedly, the sake tastes like the flames of passion. To those who conspire against you, it's like drinking sake refined from dog shit. As for you...well, unless you are an extreme narcissist, it would taste like water. Since you described it as a mellow taste, I'm guessing you have a few self-esteem issues. We'll need to work on that..."Though he was a little annoyed by Senichi's final remark, it didn't prevent Nobu from recognizing how valuable the sake was. If he periodically served it to his future retainers and servants, he could find out which of them harbored ill will towards him. It was basically a cheat item that allowed him to determine whether or not a person was loyal, so, seeing Senken and Senichi fill their saucers a third time, he couldn't prevent his brow from twitching.Understanding his son's thoughts, a teasing smile developed across Senken's face as he gulped down a large mouthful of the fiery liquid before exhaling a sigh and stating, "Calm down, kid. I can tell what you're thinking just by looking into your eyes. Unfortunately for you, this sake will lose its effects a few hours after its first uncorking. Under normal circumstances, we would have cracked it open during your coming of age ceremony. You see, the convenient thing about this alcohol is that it is basically poison to anyone who wants to kill you. Anyone who gets ill or drops dead during the ceremony would have been expelled from the family or cremated without honors."Resisting the urge to ask why they didn't prepare numerous batches of the cheat-like liquor, Nobu's tensions gradually relaxed as he asked, "I guess this means I'm not going to have a coming of age ceremony...?Raising their brows, both Senken and Senichi stared at Nobu as if he was an idiot. This caused the latter's brow to twitch, but, instead of lashing out, he just closed his eyes and took an inhumanly long and deep breath. He had become somewhat addicted to the pleasant tingle that washed over his mind like icy water whenever he inhaled large quantities of oxygen. It made him feel relaxed, and, more importantly, helped him to calm down whenever he was feeling frustrated or annoyed.Observing Nobu in silence, Senken, and Senichi waited until he had opened his eyes before the former explained, "Coming of age ceremonies take place at fourteen or immediately following a person's first battle. You're coming up on twenty in the next three months, and, if Hitomi's reports are accurate, you've already knocked up two different women. We could announce your return, but, unless we wanted to start a civil war, no one in their right mind would drink your Men's Sake..."Nodding his head in affirmation, Senichi piggybacked Senken's words, adding, "The Oda Clan is more divided now than it has been in the past six hundred years. Since we never gave up on the notion that you would one day return, your father and I have been forced to take a stance on a number of contentious issues. Depending on the choices you make moving forward, the first and most important matter we'll need to resolve is unifying the family. A divided Oda Clan is a prime target for our enemies to exploit..."Though he had absolutely no intention of becoming the Daimyo and governing the province on his own, Nobu had already made the decision to help unify Nian. It bothered him that he was walking a similar path to his predecessor, but, with a family on the way and countless dangers lurking in the shadows, he couldn't afford to abandon his status as a member of the Oda Clan. Thus, rather than immediately shoot down Senichi's proposal, his expression became uncharacteristically serious as he said, "I already have a plan..."......(A/N: That sake really is a cheat item if used properly...)

"I'll never understand how it's possible for buildings to appear larger on the inside than they do on the outside..."Though he knew full well that Nobu wasn't expecting a response, Masahide issued a light chuckle before explaining, "It's because it's easier to grasp the scope and size of an object from afar. When you are inside, much of the building is out of view. This creates a disparity in the mind because you have already rationalized that the space you are entering is expansive. As a result, everything within feels much larger than it actually is."Hearing Masahide's voice, Nobu ceased gawking at his surroundings, an annoyed look on his face as he remarked, "You like hearing the sound of your voice, don't you?"Without missing a beat, Masahide issued a soft chuckle before countering, "A curious thing to hear from someone who was just talking to themselves...""..."Deciding to simply ignore the man, Nobu continued observing his surroundings as Masahide led him and Yui through the estate. The interior of the castle really was massive, and, unlike the castles he had explored during his past life's trips to Japan, Inugama was largely comprised of stone and marble rather than wood and bamboo. The latter materials were still present, but, judging by how 'fresh' everything looked, they were a more recent addition to a pre-existing structure. If he had to guess, Nobu would assume they were one of the many ruins mentioned by Kumiko...a relic from the Age of the Gods..."With this, my duty has come to an end. I wish you both the best of luck."Breaking Nobu from his thoughts, Masahide gestured towards an adjacent bamboo door before offering a deferential bow and standing off to the side. At the same time, Yui moved away from Nobu's side, her head lowered in an uncharacteristically meek and servile manner that made him want to question her until the door spontaneously opened to reveal Senken."You certainly took your time..."Restraining the urge to call Nobu a brat, Senken stared up at his eldest son with arms crossed. In response, Nobu furrowed his brows, but, rather than mirror the man's actions, he cupped his hands in the way Kumiko had taught him, saying, "It's good to see you...father..."Blinking in surprise, Senken opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but nothing came out. Fortunately, just as he was beginning to feel like a jackass for behaving haughtily in front of his son, a gruff voice immediately shattered the tensions, asking, "How long are the two of you going to keep pissing around at the threshold? Come inside or leave. Stop dawdling."Snorting through his nose, Senken stepped aside, saying, "Come in..." before shifting his gaze to Yui and adding, "Both of you..."Fully expecting to have to wait outside, Yui was genuinely surprised by Senken's words. In spite of this, she managed to appear as calm and placid as the surface of a lake as she cupper her hands as a sign of respect. Her Grandmother had stressed that she should never lower her head to anyone except Nobu. This included Senken, who, despite being the Lord and Master of the Yoshitsune Clan, had no authority over her.Rather than admonish Yui for her ostensibly rude behavior, Senken just nodded his head before following the duo with his eyes. Once they had passed him completely, he directed his fiery golden eyes towards Masahide, saying, "You've done well, Masa. When things have settled down, let's have a drink."A stark contrast to Yui, Masahide had no choice but to bow in the presence of his Lord. The latter might not care about such formalities but it would be quite the scandal if people learned he didn't afford their Lord the proper respect. Thus, while he ultimately smiled in response to his Lord's offer, Masahide kept his head lowered as he replied, "It would be my honor."Nodding his head in approval, Senken uttered a curt, "You're dismissed." before promptly closing the door. He understood better than most that there were eyes and ears even in the heart of the Clan, so, while Masahide's behavior annoyed him, he didn't blame the man for following protocol. Instead, he waited for Masahide's presence to disappear before shaking his head and saying, "I'm going to go and retrieve Nana. If we keep her waiting, she's bound to cause a ruckus..."Snorting in response to his son's words, Senichi waved his hand in a dismissive manner, stating, "Then go. What are you waiting for? Permission? You're the Lord of Owari. Stop acting like a fool just because your son is visiting."With his brow twitching, Senken resisted the urge to shout as he replied, "Stop saying things that might cause a misunderstanding you damned geezer..."Grinning savagely in response to Senken's remark, Senichi was about to tease him further when the bamboo partitions behind him were suddenly blasted open by a burst of crimsonAura. This caused several of the surrounding oil lamps to spill, but, unlike traditional tatami made from rice straw, the materials used in the castle's were coated in a waxy residue to made them flame retardant."Where is my baby...!?"Demonstrating that they were, in fact, grandfather, father, and son, Senichi, Senken, and Nobu all smiled wryly as Nana zeroed in on the latter."Nobu-chan~! Yui-chan~!"Seizing the momentum from everyone else in the room, Nana made her way over to where Nobu and Yui were seated before squatting down and presenting the bundle in her arm, a breathtaking smile on her face as she happily chimed, "Look, look~! Meet your sister~!"Returning an awkward smile, Nobu peered into the crimson bundle with the intention of offering a few polite words. What none of the people in the room expected was for the infant to immediately cry out, arms flailing excitedly as a continuous string of enthusiastic baby sounds escaped her still-developing throat."Hime-chan...?"Confused by her daughter's extremely uncharacteristic response, Nana struggled to keep the infant in her embrace as Nobuhime wiggled about and flailed her arms in the direction Nobu.("Well that ain't normal...")Remembering the reason he had come to the capital, Nobu promptly pulled out the stone tablet before snapping a pick of the admittedly adorably little girl in his mother's arms. This ended up being a mistake, as, the moment he saw the information presented therein, regret unlike anything he had ever experienced washed over him...------------------------------------Name: Oda Nobuhime, Elizabeth JohnsonAge: 97 daysGender: Female, H:51.9cm, W: 5.1kg, B: 42.4cm, W: 43.2cm, H: 42.3cmBlood Type: A+Cultivation: N/AAura Units: 83/108Status: Divine Protection(+), Hungry(+), Sleepy(+), Excited(+)-Divine Protection: Blessed by the Goddess of the Six Paths.

If he hadn't been sitting down, he very well might have."Nobu-chan...?"Noticing how pale Nobu had become, a palpable anxiety spread through the room as Nana held Nobuhime in her arms and habitually looked towards Senken. He had been her emotional anchor for the past twenty years, so, whenever she felt worried or concerned, she always looked to him for support.Though he was just as confused and worried as his wife, Senken's expression became resolute the moment Nana directed her gaze his way. Then, despite feeling that Nobu needed time to process whatever he had just learned, Senken's tone became firm as he shouted, "Hey, kid! Snap out of it! Can't you see you're making your mother worried...!?"In response to Senken's shout, Nobuhime released an ear-piercing scream, almost as if she were trying to protest what he had just said. This left Nana feeling more fretful than ever, anxiety visible in her countenance as she looked down at the flailing infant and attempted to calm her down."Would you stop shouting? You're making a scene..."Furrowing his brows, Senken was about to chastise Nobu for speaking against him when a sudden silence descended upon the room. This was strange in and of itself, but, to make matters eve more inexplicable, an awkward laugh emanated from Nobuhime's throat as the infant covered her mouth in embarrassment...Noticing everyone's gazes shift from Nobuhime to himself, Nobu's body tensed as he tried to think of what to say. Before he could, the middle-aged man that had been observing him like a hawk ever since he arrived broke the silence, saying, "Out with it, boy. Don't even try to hide anything."Feeling a sudden pressure pressing down on him, a wave of panic washed over Nobu's body as the rage he had been doing his best to restrain began to bubble up. Fortunately, just as he was about to tell the old fart to fuck off, Nana adopted a venomous look and tone as she glared back at him and growled, "Senichi-sama..."Though he directed a stern gaze towards Nana, Senichi gradually retracted his aura. At the same time, however, his tone remained firm as he said, "Everyone in this room has an obligation towards the people of Nian and the world abroad. Our fates have been tied together since that fateful day more than nineteen years ago. If he can't even trust us with the truth, who can he trust...?"Directing the last statement towards Nobu himself, Senichi made it very clear he wasn't going to settle for a half-assed explanation. Prior to hearing the prophecy from Imina, he had never cared about such things. Now that everything she promised was slowly coming to pass, he feared for the future of the entire world, not just the Oda Clan...Seeing his father and son having a staring match, Senken was about to try and pacify the growing tensions when Nobuhime garnered all of their attention with a few baby sounds and a gesture that resembled an 'okay' sign. The latter was clearly directed towards Nobu, who, after exhaling one of the most profound sighs any of them had ever heard, raised his head to explain, "She's my mom...I have no idea how it fucking happened, but this little bra...baby has inherited the soul of my mother from a previous life..."Expecting them to ask what the hell he was talking about, Nobu was surprised when Nana simply looked down at Nobuhime and asked, "Is that true? Hime-chan is Nobu-chan's Okaa-chan...?"Demonstrating she knew exactly what they were talking about, Nobuhime nodded her head with a 'serious' expression that didn't match her childish appearance. In response, Nana adopted one of her characteristically breathtaking smiles as she practically sang, "How wonderful~! I can't wait to hear all the stories about Nobu-chan's previous life~!"Confused by his second mother's response, Nobu's mouth hung open for several seconds as he found himself at a loss for words. He wasn't the only one in such a state.
