...
Later that night, Naho was in a starfish covered in unknown white stains, that were quickly drying up, causing her to squint her eyes in her sleep, Kuraiya was gazing at his masterpiece with satisfaction from he door.
Rubbing his eyes, his hand had reached towards a brownie he had taken, after he finished his shower.
Upon leaving the room, he had come across the Senju brothers sat on the couch staring at a turned off TV, it was like they were watching something with how intently they were looking at it.
Suddenly Hashirama licked his lips, "I'm thirsty.., but.., I.., don't wanna move", he tried to stand up, but his body was simply too relaxed to do any small movements.
Tobirama didn't say anything, but his stomach kept growling in rapid succession.
Kuraiya gazed at the two, his eyes looking at the brownie in his hand, "heh", chuckling to himself, he went to find the others, only to find them sleeping in a separate room hugging one another, with bottles of sake scattered all over the floor.
He finally found himself sitting down on his porch, feeling the effects of the brownie and the cool air, he sighed in comfort and looked up into the night sky.
Closing his eyes, a scent of milk wafted into his nose causing it to twitch, turning around slightly, he saw Izumi leaning on the door staring down at him.
"Still awake, can't sleep?", he spoke with slight interest as he opened one of his arms.
Izumi moved closer and nodded while settling in his embrace, "I've been leaking and it's causing me discomfort".
This caused his gaze to go lower, he indeed saw the wet patches on her chest, "didn't you always want to be a mother, why complain now".
He leaned down and lay his head on her knees, his ear placed against her belly, Izumi's hand hovered in mid air for a while, before she placed it on the pitch black hair, her fingers disappearing, causing her to fall in a mesmerizing comfort.
With tears in her eyes while smiling, she replied with excitement, "yes, I am.., I don't know why?, but the longer I'm carrying your child, the more expectant I am in seeing it born".
"Hmm, it has a heart beat already, a very strong one at that, continue eating, I'll prepare you a good meal in the morning..", after a pause he turned his head slightly and looked into her eyes, "you interested in flying for a bit".
Izumi blinked and looked at the dark sky, with a soft nod, the two flew off into the air, Izumi who was on his back, placed her head on his shoulder and gazed at the earth beneath them.
After a while, she spoke in a soft voice, "I've awakened my mangekyō", Kuraiya raised his eyebrow and asked out of curiosity, "is that so, what abilities do you possess?".
"My right eye is Burakku Hōru, I can create a small black hole at a specific target, as for my left eye, it's called Kyomu, I can erase chakra within a certain range".
Kuraiya speechlessly turned away, "if you awaken the eternal, you'd practically walk sideways in this world, but, you're eyes are beautiful", shaking his head, he continued flying, Izumi blushed and turned away as well.
Her eyes resembled a four pointed vector star, they weren't pointed in the original single point, instead the two spikes were helping eachother stand, yeah, just a four pointed star turned slightly.
(Just for those that want to know, this is what it looks like)
He truly meant it, a ninja without any chakra will practically just be an ordinary person, she could probably kill black zetsu in an instant, just by wiping out his chakra.
After a while in the sky, they went back to the village and at some point arrived in front of the Ichiraku's stall, Kuraiya of course helped hide the leaking milk, he simply gave her a new set of clothes.
Seeing the old man finishing up with putting the stuff away, Kuraiya pulled out a chair for Izumi to sit down and one for himself.
Teuchi hearing the noise behind him, frowned and turned, "egh, don't you see I'm going home".
Kuraiya spread his hands innocently, "just two bowls, I'll pay double for them".
Teuchi grunted in acceptance and began cooking again, "what do you want?", "I'll have beef tonkotsu, slow braised, with extra cheese".
He was really in a mood for something salty and creamy, he was already licking his lips in pure eagerness and delight, that broth, this guy in front of him, Teuchi usually keeps it in the back, no one knows about this ramen yet.
"Hmph, you're lucky I still have beef in the pot", turning to Izumi, he waited patiently unlike his impatient attitude with Kuraiya.
"I'll.., I'll have what he's having", after a thought, she simply chose what Kuraiya was wanted she had never heard of it before and her curiosity was peaked.
"Alright, it'll be done in ten minutes..", turning to Kuraiya, he grunted again, "your closing the stall when I'm done, you can add that to the bill too".
Kuraiya waved his hand unbothered by it, when the food was delivered, Teuchi left, leaving the two eat.
Kuraiya seeing him disappear, jumped over the counter and pulled out several bottles of juice, "heh, old man, you actually left these here, how thoughtful, you may act tough, but your just a big softy".
Muttering to himself, he handed one over to Izumi, his eyes landing on a stack of open pork chops, he swallowed and stared into the distance.
"What a big softy, you knew I'd still be hungry, so you left it out", he picked it up and placed between them both, Izumi blinked and took half of the pork then placed it into her ramen bowl.
"I'm surprised cheese goes so well with this beef tonkotsu, I find it strange as to why this isn't on the menu though, the flavors are simply overwhelming", Kuraiya smiled and ignored her, his stomach was already growling in protest.
.
The next morning.
.
When Kuraiya woke up and went to see Piccolo, he was interrupted by Goku stopping the two from talking.
"Umm, Kuraiya, I have to go back, I'm gonna take Vegeta with me as well, I've got a lot of work to do for some reason, the supreme kai of time is constantly nagging me to help her with some stuff..".
Scratching his head, he gave both Kuraiya and Piccolo a sheepish smile, "well.., that promise, I can see it through now..", his face became serious and he vanished then reappeared after a few minutes.
"All done, let's get going, I'm taking you to the other dimension, it's getting erased in six weeks", muttering the last bit, he saw Kuraiya hold up his hand, "wait a sec, let one of my angels accompany me".
"Ah, that's fine", Marcarita naturally appeared and the three went, to travel to another dimension, once those three were gone, in the distance, Temari was watching everything with hidden fervour.
When Kuraiya went to the other dimension with Goku, Temari immediately went out to seek Sakura, when she saw her alone, she smiled.
"Yo!, Sakura, you said you wanted to see your other self right, well, your in luck, Kuraiya has just heading out with that Goku guy, so hurry up, I suspect he'd be back in a day or two, it's better to rush this".
Sakura almost stumbled, she nodded and the two went to search for Vados.
"What is it?", Vados spoke in an impatient tone, she may act kind, but once Kuraiya is not by her side, she'd go straight into a cold tone.
Sakura scratched her chin and looked at the ceiling, Temari seeing this shook her head, "we want to go to that world, you know the one that Marci used to take us".
Vados's eyes narrowed down on the two, "how long?", "for a day or two".
"Why not, I have nothing to do right now, I'll give you a day, as I'm quite curious about something", Temari patted Sakura's shoulder and walked over to Vados's side.
When they arrived in the Boruto world, that world's Temari, who was out buying groceries, froze, looking around, she saw a blue hand reaching for her, she was about to retaliate, but she noticed her surroundings had already changed.
"Ah, you're back, has that guy already gone on another adventure", (B) Temari fumbled towards her other self and held her shoulders, while she spoke in a weird tone.
Temari frowned and swatted the hands away, "what are you talking about, he's my man, what's it got to do with you?, didn't I say that I'd come back".
(B) Temari realized she was acting strange, so she turned away and coughed embarrassedly.
Sakura to the side, already put her own thoughts into action and came up with a knowing solution.
She moved forward and whispered her thoughts into Temari's ear, causing her to glare at the older one after knowing what her words truly meant.
Then a sly grin appeared on her face, "heh, so that's it, you've seen him right, he's in this world isn't he, let me guess, he's hard to find, he's all over the wanted posters, making it even more difficult for ya".
As if having her thoughts pried out for all to hear, (B) Temari quickly waved her hands, "no, you've got the wrong idea, it's not like that at all".
"Hoh, what is it like then", (B) Temari started choking on her own saliva, and she glared at her younger self, she was way to assertive, she had thought she'd at least calmed down, but nothing's changed.
Then frowning, she spread out her chakra and sensed Temari's chakra, to her astonishment, it was twice as strong as before.
Not only that, but the familiar pink head she knows, had chakra far surpassing the one she knows here.
[Are all them this powerful, then their world must be peaceful right, wait!, why are they here, is it for a fight again.]
As (B) Temari was rapidly going through countless thoughts, she saw Sakura leaving to talk to the blue skinned woman.
[Another blue skinned woman.], she watched as that woman's hand reached out into the void and pull another person right through it.
She'd be even more shocked, knowing angels can move through physical matter too, if she saw it that is.
(B) Sakura who had just been pulled through the void, immediately became frantic, her eyes darting around before landing on all the faces inside.
"What's going on?, who are you people, why do you look like us?, and Temari, why are you here too, have we been kidnapped?".
Sakura staring at her other self smiled brightly after seeing the B cups the older one was showing.
(B) Sakura followed her gaze and quickly covered up her chest, "why are you staring at me like that...", her words paused when she saw the C cups the younger one was packing.
"Did you use surgery..", "it's all natural, just a bit of a blessing, you could say that at least".
Suddenly Sakura threw a punch at the older one, a loud bang could be heard as the older one blocked it, though her face was full of dread and sweat.
"You.., you didn't even use strange power.., how?", just raw physical strength, (B) Sakura was simply shocked, if this young version of herself used it, she thought she might actually turn into a pile of mincemeat.
"Not bad, but I'm sorry, I really can't help myself, I wanna beat you to a pulp, so don't blame me for what's about to happen next".
"Sakura, don't overdo it and don't kill her, just a beating is enough", Sakura nodded to Temari and lunged forward with a sweeping kick.
Vados simply raised her eyebrows listening to the entire conversation, [what a weird bunch, are they that pent up, that they want to beat up their other selves, so strange.]
Not long after, (B) Sakura had used every method she had to keep up, but the overwhelming power eventually forced her to her knees.
Sakura leaned forward and knelt in front of her with small smile, "thank you for showing me what level I'd be without him, it means a lot knowing this, and I'm deeply satisfied".
(B) Sakura looked confused, turning to the chattering Temari's, she finally came up with her own thoughts, "so, you're a me with a different man, what's that life like?".
"Not bad, good food, constant cuddles, making love, sight seeings, making babies, learning new techniques, making love, having family meals..", "alright, I understand, there's no need to prattle".
(B) Sakura thought this other version of herself was completely love stricken, and it was even worser than herself, no, she knew what it was, she had that problem a long time ago.
It was a need to be recognized, and a desire to have what she wanted, that all started when she met Ino, she couldn't help but feel that's what caused her other self to have changed men.
Or it could be something entirely different, "who is he?", falling to her ass, her curiosity got the better.
Turning to Vados, Vados waved her hand a video appeared before them, when the two Boruto world women saw it, their faces flushed a deep crimson.
"Oh my, that's my fault, wrong action, I didn't mean to show his orgy I recorded", Vados snickered to herself before quickly changing it to a singular photo.
Temari and Sakura glared at Vados for showing that, then Temari immediately pointed her finger at her, "you!.., you actually recorded our planned scheme!, you showed them that on purpose didn't you!".
It was indeed their planned scheme, they knew it, but they wouldn't deny it either, they had told Kuraiya it was a one time thing, not a repeated one when he found out.
Vados looked unbothered by her self righteous words, she just sat there casually drinking her tea as she gazed at a nearby TV.
Soon the noise in the room died down, (B) Temari was staring straight at the photo with weird fascination, it made the younger one feel a little weirded out by it.
As for (B) Sakura, she simply started sweating buckets, she had been seeing this photo for the past two years nearly.
She also recently heard from her Sasuke, that he had wedded Naruto's wife, when she heard that Hinata had disappeared and defected, that was already massive news.
But after hearing Sasuke talking about what really happened, she was deeply shocked.
At that time, he had told her what Boruto had told him, that she started throwing up a lot before running away, her eyes had turned a glowing gold, her mood more violent with a desperate increase of eating food.
She had also became weirder, often drawing and destroying the drawing soon after, it was like she had become two people, struggling with one another.
(That was the start of memory fusion, it was a temporal anomaly, her brainwaves had started fusing with Kuraiya's Hinata when he came into contact with her, it was also partly due to Anati's soul, desperately pushing her to act more like that Hinata to get closer to him.
And it worked, it became an obsession, she didn't know it, not until he came back, it gradually got worser, she knew it herself, but at that time, there was something yelling in her ear to not cause him harm)
(B) Sakura after hearing that story from Boruto's mouth by Sasuke, she thought that Hinata had simply become depressed and couldn't handle the village anymore.
Until just recently, she was told about what really happened, she had eloped with another, the very man that was with that woman from the moon.
She still remembered that he attacked Sasuke to take something from him, he had told her about it and no one else, and since then, she had started to notice a more comfortable life with Sasuke, he had become kinder and he went out less.
And just a few days ago, Sasuke told her about what really happened in Naruto's home, Hinata had returned, she had almost killed him.
And when she left, she gave away a parting gift, that made even herself feel slightly nauseous, she thought that what Hinata did was too cruel.
But what Sasuke said about him deserving it, made her extremely confused, after asking him why, he simply left her alone without a word.
In fact, Sasuke hated him for taking his arm, for stopping him from saving the world, it was just the influence of Indra and Itachi brainwashing him with Shisui's eye and Indra wanting to stay next to Ashura's chakra.
When Kaguya took Indra's soul away, it also destroyed the genjutsu placed on him, he was simply returning back to being who he was meant to be.
Though he cared for his new family, he wanted to leave, this wasn't the world he wanted to be in, it wasn't the one he wanted to save, he knew after he and Naruto would die, war will start once again.
That was why, even now he is searching for Kuraiya, he wants him to take him away, in a way, it was also for his daughter Sarada to escape and preventing her from being involved in it.
(B) Sakura has no idea what Sasuke wants, he hasn't told anyone about it.
Everyone had finally settled their eyes on (B) Sakura at some point, and that woke her up from those thoughts.
Then she frowned, "where's Temari?", both Sakura and Temari looked at eachother and smiled, "she's gone to see him, I don't know why, but she said she wanted to talk with him".
(B) Sakura took in a weird breath, following the screen again, there was a different picture, no, to be exact it was a live stream.
What she saw on it, was the gothic Hinata and Hanabi being oddly sweet to the man that had been causing chaos, though it looked like they were competing for the same affection, which made her feel confused.
Soon after, she saw (B) Temari walking towards them, as she bowed on all fours, she didn't know what they were talking about, but she had a guess of what was happening.
Taking in a sharp breath, she was about to ask them to stop it, but they seemed to be enjoying it, like it was their scheme to begin with.
[Why am I here, just to suffer and watch alongside them, I don't want to watch, agh!, so why am I staring and not asking them to send me back!.]
She was having an internal conflict, and soon enough, she became entranced, in such a short span of time, her good friend had willingly walked inside the house as the two Hyuga sisters stood to the side and allowed it.
Collapsing to the ground again, she whispered to the others, "please send me back home, I don't want to watch what happens next".
Vados didn't even hesitate, she immediately sent her back home, "now that the nuisance is out of the way, why don't we continue watching, I'm curious as to what she really wanted to go see him for".
Temari nodded, and found a place to sit, Sakura however held her forehead with a sigh escaping her mouth, [I was like that too, but I eventually got used to it, I don't know what it is, he just has a magnetic charm.]
