(Last chapter before the 12-Year Time Skip in Naruto)

"Oh?" Eevee's eyes lit up. "That's great! While you're traveling, make sure to learn as many new dishes as you can. I wanna cook them for Cynthia!"

Hentai Renzo gave a knowing nod. "Definitely. That glowing cuisine of yours is practically a cheat code for winning over women. Since I share your culinary skills, I've been more popular than ever lately. Most girls are completely hooked on me now! Hohoho!"

Chef Renzo facepalmed. "Hey! My cooking wasn't meant to be used as a tool to flirt with women, damn it!"

That was a total insult to his culinary path.

"Aw, don't be like that." Hentai Renzo grinned and waved it off. "Skills are only useful when they serve a purpose, right? Otherwise, what's the point of even having them? So really, you should be proud."

Chef Renzo gave him a cold glare and muttered, "Scram."

"Yo? Things are lively today." Just then, OPM Renzo—aka Creator X— stepped out of a spatial rift and bumped fists with everyone, syncing memories and power updates all around.

"Oh?" Apocalypse Renzo's eyes lit up as he finished syncing. "You managed to take over the House of Evolution already? Even brought Dr. Genus and that guy Fukegao under your control? Not bad, not bad!"

"These new genetic technologies are gonna be super useful. Keep digging—this is the kind of stuff I love."

"With this, I should be able to finish developing my psychic gene serum and advanced enhancement formulas soon. Hehehe…"

Creator X Renzo nodded. "No problem. I'll keep collecting tech whenever I can."

"Oh, and I've started researching Saitama's genetic data too—trying to find the so-called limiter and a way to break through it. Apocalypse, Hermione, Gundam—you guys free to help? Working solo is way too slow."

To be fair, Saitama's genes and that whole limiter thing were way more complicated than they looked.

Apocalypse Renzo cracked his knuckles. "I'm in. I've always been curious about that limiter stuff."

Hermione chimed in, "No problem here! I just dealt with Voldemort—turned him into ashes. I'll have a lot more free time now."

Gundam Renzo, however, shook his head. "I probably won't have much time to spare. The full-scale war between Blue Cosmos and ZAFT has just broken out, and Lacus and I are about to step in."

"Our plan is to directly intervene, wipe both sides out, and then reorganize Earth's powers in preparation for moving into space."

"Oh, and—"

He turned to Dragorr —aka Dragon Ball Renzo— "Quit just focusing on training, man. Didn't you already get young Goku's spaceship? Hurry up and study it so I can start designing my own!"

"At the pace of our current space program, there's no way we're leaving the solar system anytime soon."

The scale of space was just too massive. Without high-end spaceship engine tech, it was impossible to properly explore or colonize space.

With their world's current level of spaceflight tech, even reaching the nearest star system would take several lifetimes. Totally unacceptable.

"Haha!" Dragorr scratched the back of his head and laughed. "Alright, alright! I'll split off some shadow clones and have them start working on it today."

He'd only had the Saiyan bloodline for a few months, but man, the feeling of leveling up just through hard training was addictive.

It felt amazing.

"Appreciate it." Gundam Renzo nodded with satisfaction.

Gundam World

In space, at Renzo's orbital base…

Right now, Renzo had gathered Lacus, Kira, Murrue Ramius, and a few others to strategize the upcoming battle.

"Lacus, I'll be counting on your father and the others over at PLANT. Everything good on that end?"

Renzo looked toward her as he spoke.

Lacus nodded confidently. "Of course. Everything's ready. As soon as GENESIS falls, my father will be able to take full control of PLANT."

"Perfect."

Renzo gave an approving nod, then turned to Cagalli. "Cagalli, we'll also need Orb's support on Earth. The Renzo Alliance will be handling most of the fighting, but we need Orb to be the first to stand up and support us publicly."

"As a reward, I'll give Orb a habitable planet in the future once we expand into space. Be sure to tell your father."

Oh, and by the way… he was already engaged to both Lacus and Cagalli.

Sure, there were political reasons behind it, but the three of them genuinely had feelings for one another. That alone was enough.

As for Athrun and Kira?

Kira had Frey, and Athrun seemed to have found someone of his own as well.

In a world like this, there was never a shortage of amazing women.

Cagalli nodded solemnly. "Father and the others have already reached a consensus on this. Don't worry, Renzo—we'll give you our full support."

After everything Renzo had shown them, how could they not? His technology, his gene enhancement serums for Coordinators—they were beyond anything anyone else could offer.

"Alright then—let's get started!"

Renzo nodded, satisfied, then turned to Kira and Athrun. "Kira, Athrun, Captain Andrew—I'm leaving the Freedom and Justice Gundams, and the Eternal, in your hands."

"As for Murrue, you'll be in charge of coordinating the battles with the Aegis Gundam. I'll personally pilot it as our flagship unit."

That's right—Renzo had basically recruited the entire original Archangel crew by now.

He'd also stopped the original Alaska tragedy involving the Cyclops System from happening. Not out of some bleeding-heart idealism, but because he wanted to minimize the hatred between Earth and PLANT. That kind of deep-rooted animosity would be a nightmare when it came time to unify both sides.

---

Five days later, a full-scale war broke out between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance led by Blue Cosmos.

At first, Renzo's side didn't get involved. They stayed in the shadows, watching and waiting.

It wasn't until both sides had taken heavy losses—and the Earth Alliance started firing off a barrage of nukes toward PLANT—that Renzo finally made his move.

"Deploy the new nuclear-particle disruptors! Block those nukes! Freedom, Justice—move out! Your target is GENESIS!"

Renzo didn't hesitate. He gave the order to strike.

At the same time, he launched himself onto the battlefield in the Aegis Gundam, unleashing terrifying power. Within just a few hours, he'd wiped out thousands of mobile suits from both factions.

The battle lasted an entire day before it finally ended.

Renzo's side unveiled a staggering array of advanced tech. The Four Sacred Beasts Gundam units deployed as well—each one rivaling or even surpassing Freedom and Justice.

They completely overwhelmed both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT.

In the end, Patrick Zala—Athrun's father—was captured alive. Blue Cosmos was annihilated. The Genesis, Requiem, and other major bases fell under Renzo's control.

...

"To all of humanity: as of today, the war is officially over!"

"Whether you're from Earth or PLANT, we will now begin unifying as one species."

"The Renzo Alliance has successfully developed a gene-evolution serum that can be used by Naturals. It will allow them to evolve into a new breed of humans—even more advanced than today's Coordinators!"

"And for existing Coordinators, there's an upgraded gene-enhancement serum as well..."

"In the near future, all of humanity will be smarter, stronger, and more beautiful. Physical stats will triple, and the average lifespan will increase to over 200 years!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Renzo Alliance —I hereby announce the founding of the New Earth Federation! Humanity has entered a brand-new era!"

"And one more thing—the Renzo Alliance is also forming the Federation Aerospace Corporation! We will be developing a new generation of spacefaring vessels equipped with warp-drive technology..."

Shocking news like this dropped every single day. People across the globe—and even in PLANT—could feel it.

A new era had truly begun.

Humanity was finally looking forward. Toward the stars.

But Renzo?

He didn't step into the spotlight to become some political figure. He remained behind the scenes, quietly pulling the strings and shaping the future of the entire Earth Federation.

Every major policy, every direction of development—it was all under his control.

And three months after the war ended, Renzo officially confirmed his relationships with Lacus, Cagalli, and Murrue.

Yup—he married all three.
