Here is Chapter 9 of your Naruto webnovel:
---
Rebirth of the Otsutsuki: Yash's Path to Godhood
Chapter 9: The Return to Konoha
---
The gates of Konoha loomed ahead under a burning-orange sunset. Familiar and foreign.
Yash had returned.
Aya walked beside him, subtly changed—her bond with him had unlocked not only power, but an unshakable loyalty that simmered behind her warm smiles. Reina, ever watchful, was quieter than usual. Rei floated behind them, an emotionless guardian cloaked in Uzumaki chakra. They were no longer simple wanderers.
They were becoming something else.

As the guards stopped them at the gate, a ripple passed through the village's barrier—alerting key figures of a chakra signature both powerful and… alien.
Within moments, ANBU dropped from the rooftops. Tension surged.
"State your name and purpose," the lead ANBU ordered.
Yash didn't flinch. "Yash. Formerly of nowhere. I'm here to see the Hokage."
The ANBU hesitated. That name wasn't in their records. But the chakra? Impossible to ignore.
"…Fine. You'll come under escort."

Hokage Tower.
Naruto stood tall behind his desk, grown older but no less powerful. His gaze swept over Yash and his companions with quiet suspicion.
"I've heard whispers about you," Naruto said. "People talk about a man who walks like a god and leaves chakra storms behind him."
Yash met his eyes calmly. "I came to offer knowledge, not war."
Naruto's gaze narrowed. "What kind of knowledge?"
Yash smiled slightly. "The kind even your Sage Mode couldn't reach. About the Otsutsuki, their true purpose… and what's coming."

A shadow stirred in the hallway outside. Sarada leaned against the doorframe, grown into a stunning kunoichi—confident, proud, lonely. Her Sharingan flickered with curiosity the moment her eyes met Yash's.
Their connection was instant. Unspoken. Dangerous.
---
Later that night...
Yash walked the quiet streets of Konoha under a moonlit sky. Sarada appeared beside him, silent for a time.
"You're not from here," she said eventually.
"No," he agreed. "But I've watched this world long enough to know what it needs."
She tilted her head. "And what's that?"
"A god who understands desire."
She raised an eyebrow. "You think that's you?"
"I don't think it," he said with a smirk. "I know it."
Her eyes glowed red. She was testing him. Challenging him. But beneath it—interest sparked.
He leaned in close.
"You want more from this world, don't you, Sarada?"
She didn't move away.
"…Maybe," she whispered.

Meanwhile…
Deep underground, in Konoha's most secret chamber, a black scroll cracked open on its own. Chakra spilled out like ink.
A whisper echoed from it:
> "He's arrived. And the vessel awakens."
In the shadows, a pale hand flexed.
An ancient power sealed since Kaguya's fall… was beginning to stir.
