Now, who else to deal with?
Ah, that might be interesting.
Hiashi Hyuga exited the bathroom and was sufficiently observant that he noticed immediately that he was no longer in the Hyuga manor.
It didn't hurt that he was standing on an ocean of ice, looking at a horizon where a large striped gas giant dominated that field of view. A glance behind him revealed the bathroom door, apparently hanging on absolutely nothing that he could see. Beyond it, he could spot a large swirl of stars that he vaguely remembered as being called a 'galaxy.'
Naturally, he responded with the Byakugan. Then he went through three genjutsu dispels when THAT didn't work.
When the creature appeared, he was glad he had the Byakugan running - because otherwise he'd have run through all his genjutsu dispels again.
"Hiashi Hyuga of Konohagakure, hear me," said the being that was a swirl of chaos.
"Return me at once," said Hiashi, as coldly as he could.
A disc formed underneath him, it rose up as water might in a pool slowly filling.
Hiashi released a breath he hadn't consciously held as the disc passed his head and left him back in his bedroom.
The swirl of chaos remained where it was. "Better?"
"What do you want?" asked Hiashi.
"To the point, are we?" asked the swirl. "Naruto Uzumaki is the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki - heir to the leadership of the Village Hidden In The Whirlpool. A line which holds great innate skill at Fuuinjutsu, longevity, and vitality."
"Your point?" asked Hiashi, outwardly unconcerned and unsurprised.
"As of a half hour ago, he is also a god," said the chaos-fragment. "The god of nakama, friendship, protection, and carnal delights. He will need guidance, instruction, and friends."
"Impossible," huffed Hiashi.
"Less impossible than you might think," said the chaos-swirl. "Besides it'll carry benefits, so maybe if one of your daughters became involved at the appropriate time, you could not automatically veto it."
"'Benefits'?" asked Hiashi.
Toltiir didn't smile, smirk, or otherwise give it away. One of the benefits of taking the form of a swirling shape of energy. It was interesting though - he was having the same conversation with the heads of eight clans - and the reactions were almost exactly the same.
The next day was normal. The sun rose over the horizon.
Teuchi opened Ichiraku's, serving up his 'breakfast menu' to people who were going about their jobs or taking a break from their pre-dawn jobs. Hot tea, a new import making the rounds called coffee, miso, rice with pickles. Ayame even made a few onigiri for those who wanted to grab something and head back to their worksite.
"Uhm," began one of the construction workers, pausing as he looked over the newest addition.
Teuchi pointed to the blackboard. Which stated that he didn't know where it came from, he didn't know why it was there, he didn't know what it was plugged into.
The construction worker eyed the blinking neon sign proclaiming
Maybe it was best just to ignore it.
