Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I own OCs.

Tobirama teleported them in front of Hokage's office. Naruto smiled, "Thanks, Grandpa." He headed to the office door but halted when the Senju called him.

"Naruto."

The blonde looked back then Tobirama continued, "I apologize."

"Huh?" Blinked, Naruto turned around to face him.

"I put Menma's safety at risk in purpose with my strategy today," he said earnestly. Personally, Tobirama thought his startegy was for the best and it did. Risky choice often offer the best outcome. He knew it since he was small and he thought Naruto should understand that they were shinobi. The choice they may have was not exactly safe.

Naruto instantly scowled. He glared at Tobirama in heated silent for several moments. Tomorrow will be the last day for Naruto in this era and Tobirama thought it will be good for them to have peaceful farewell since they will not have the chance to meet again. That's why he teleported them not inside the Hokage's office but outside.

"Kurama explained to me the benefit of your reason for it. I can understand it," he said calmly before added, "But, it doesn't mean I like your plan."

Tobirama said, "Figured."

Naruto sighed deeply and folded his hands on top of his chest, "I'm not smart or genius like you or Sasuke. At first, I was furious for you to make that plan, Grandpa. Honestly, I never pictures you to be this heartless. There has to be something we could do without risking someone's in danger."

"There you go again, you have to stop thinki—!" For a second, scarlet eyes widened briefly as he was taken back and the blonde noticed. "What?"

"I should have known it's coming since both of you are reincarnates of the same person," Tobirama replied. Naruto puzzled, it amused the Senju. "Yet, I'm still surprise. You are as naive as my brother. For second there, I feel like being complained by him and almost say 'You are Hokage, man it up!' to you."

"What are you talking about?" Naruto absolutely have no clue and Tobirama smiled faintly.

"You have a heart like my brother. Argue with you, it's feels the same like I had with him. Your naivity rivals my brother's. Not to mention both of you choose the same person who is the reincarnation of Indra to be your spouse," Tobirama could see Naruto would be a fine Hokage in the future, unbeknown to Naruto, he felt bewildered. He just blinked obliviously and tilted his head. Naruto didn't know what to make this, so he unsurely said, "Thanks...?"

The elder men sighed fondly, he ruffled Naruto's hair then turned back. He just said, "Izuna told me that he will bring dinner to your room, he cooks Menma's favourites," before he out of the blond's sight.

A bit confuse, he mumbled, "I don't get him," but he just shrugged and opened the door of Hokage's office. Hashirama who sat behind his desk welcomed him warmly.

"Oh, you're here, Naruto," he said as gestured the young Uzumaki to came forward. Naruto noticed that there are two scroll Hashirama written at the moment.

"I thought you have a break now, Grandpa," he pointed out the scroll. Naruto thought that was Hokage's paperwork.

Hashirama laughed, "Yes, I am. These are not work but for you."

"For me?"

Naruto put his palms on the desk and leaned forward to see it better. Hashirama explained, "Yes, this is your medical history since the first time moment we know you are pregnant. I bet medi-nin in your future will need these since the ones who was taken care of your mother's or Mito's pregnancy would be dead by now. As Jinchuriki, the way medi-nin treat you should be different than normal people."

"Wow," Naruto beamed, "I didn't think about that."

Chuckled, Hashirama continued, "Rest assure, I take care of every medical information. Although, some of your mother's medical histories maybe guarded since she was a Jinchuriki, I write in detail about male pregnancy as well. In case there are no one knows about it in your time. I can safely say that you are the first male Jinchuriki who get pregnant. It will be tricky not only for medi-nins in your time but for me as well."

Naruto shocked, "Even for you?"

"I haven't treat any Jinchuriki other than you, Naruto."

"Ah, makes sense," he nodded. "But, Sasuke said that Orochimaru knew about this male pregnancy thing."

"I wouldn't rely on him only if I were you," suggested Hokage. "I'm not saying this Orochimaru person would be wrong or anything but he learnt based on sealed scroll which labeled as forbidden. Frankly speaking, it won't be enough to compare to someone's knowledge who experience about male pregnancy in daily life."

"Sounds complicated," Naruto mumbled. His blue eyes saw one scroll tied up neatly already. "Are you finish writing that one for me too?"

"Hm?" Hashirama folllwed blue eyes direction, "Oh, that for another Naruto. The Namikaze one, for Menma's father in his future."

Widened blue eyes looked surprise, "Really? What's inside?"

"It consist of our training the other day. When you learn about Asura's healing ninjutsu," he smiled. "I thought if he want to try it himself, the journal of your experience maybe will help him. He seems interested when you mentioned that I taught you healing ninjutsu."

"That's so cool! Maybe later he will learn it too," Naruto beamed. Hashirama return that smile in the same manner.

They moved to examination room to check Naruto's pregnancy. Naruto laid down at the examination table and Hashirama put his palms with chakra on his belly. "Any discomfort recently, Naruto?"

"Hmm... I sensed the baby's chakra gotten bigger. Kurama felt it too. Is it normal?"

"Well, in some cases, there are people who was born with enermous chakra naturally even from parents with average chakra. Well, both of you have a great chakra it will be no wonder if your child also."

"Ah, there is that possibility. I thought the baby eaten my chakra or something."

Hashirama smiled, "They need your chakra but your body will provided it naturally according how much the baby need throughout the pregnancy. You may feel drained due to your chakra sustained the womb which are not for us, man, naturally."

"No wonder I feel tired like I did multiple Tajuu Kage Bunshin constantly..." Naruto sighed. He looked at his stomach and voiced up his curiosity, "Hey, do you think my belly getting rounder and bigger? How about my morning sickness? Why it hasn't stop yet?

Hashirama chuckled, "It should be, you are pregnant, Naruto. But, I admit, your morning sickness above 14 weeks pregnancy... indeed a mystery."

"I know that," Naruto scowled, "but I remember Madara's and Izuna's didn't as big as this when they were 14-15 weeks. Theirs were slightly smaller."

Hokage checked it more properly and Naruto was right. Concentrated, Hashirama put his hands inside Naruto's womb and touched the baby. Sluggishly, he moved his fingers around and deeper then touched something moving like the baby before.

Eyes widened... he locked eyes with Naruto.

"What?"

Hashirama opened his lips to let out his discovery earlier. Blue eyes bulged out.

—000—

Menma took his time to built unknown courage to voiced up his reason to stay. He did missed his grandmother's cooking but like Sasuke said, it was not strong enough for him to delayed his chance going back to the future. Something he never voiced out loud ever.

"I... never thought Sasuke Uchiha will be back to Konoha..." He muttered. Sasuke listened quietly.

"I thought he left my dad for good. Either he die on his journey to find Black Zetsu or he forget my dad forever to choose someone else. I thought he would never know that I'm his son let alone the chance to meet him..." Menma's voice vividly softer and a sense of guilt leaked on it as he continued, "That's why I did my best to attack you two days ago."

"Figured," Sasuke commented lightly.

"But," Menma frowned, he whispered, "I don't know how to face him if I go back to my time."

Sasuke remained silent.

"I hate him," Menma said truthfully. "My dad was miserable without him. I don't care whether his reason to left was to protect my dad or something. The fact is he left him. I can't forgive him for that. No offense, he is a jerk."

The teenager didn't say anything. It will be a lie if he didn't offended a bit with anyone bluntly judged him as anything despite his intention. Especially, his own child. He felt pity for Adult Sasuke. Naturally, Sasuke wouldn't care if anyone judged him or hate him. He wouldn't give a damn at all. Yet, if that person was his family, it's different matter. Uchihas were basically sensitive people and their family or clan meant the world to them. His attention back to Menma whose voice saddened.

"But, earlier, my dad was smitten when he announced that Sasuke Uchiha has come back," he scowled. "I never saw him like that...to know it's happens because of him... I'm not sure what to feel. One side, I'm still furious and other side is joyful to see my dad..." The kid closed his eyes tightly, "... and the last few days... I saw how you two together most of the time... it's weird coz it's like seeing my parents. You don't know how odd it is for me... Ryuichi-nii will be shock if I told him."

"Ryuichi?"

"He is Uncle Itachi's son. We grew up together so we are like brothers rather than cousins."

Sensed that the rinnegan owner not finished, Sasuke stayed silent. Menma continued with a deep frown, "I can see you two are happy... I... want that happiness for my dad too but... I don't know if I can forgive Sasuke Uchiha..."

An eerie silent followed and Sasuke let it be. He may not in Menma's shoe to understand his dilemma about this. Both of them stared at the village below the Hokage's face statue. The sun has set after Naruto left them and the dark surrounded them. The wind touched their dark hair gently as Sasuke let out his two cents.

"I was indecision too when I heard the truth about my brother's mission," he told Menma about Itachi's sacrifice and mission in his time. "I hate Konoha and the elders for my brother's misery. I wanted to destroy Konoha. The one thing my brother love even more than our clan. It's unusual in Uchiha."

He realized Itachi gave his life to freed him from Orochimaru's cursed mark but had Konoha didn't pushed Uchiha Clan too far, the rebellion maybe could be avoided. "At first, I hated my brother because I thought I lost my kind-hearted older brother forever.. but after I heard the truth from Sandaime Hokage, I didn't lose him. He did what he thought what's the best for me."

Sasuke turned to Menma who was stayed still, "I know our case is different. I can forgive my brother and embrace the truth because our childhood memories. I know him before anything happened. On another hand, you never met another me. You have no good memories of him to make you forgive him. I'm understand how hard it is to forgive someone who hurt our loved ones. It's not in our clan's nature to forgive easily."

Closed his eyelids, he continued, "Madara in my time confirmed this. He said that the Uchiha is destined to revenge. It's because when an Uchiha love something or someone, we love it or them deeply. It's in our blood. I can see your struggle. However..."

Menma turned his attention to Sasuke.

"You are Naruto's son too. Forgiving is in his nature even before he was born in my time or your time. Asura's soul didn't diminished throughout the entire process of reincarnation. You may be an Uchiha by blood but Naruto is your father. He raised you. His blood is in you as well," Sasuke patted Menma's hair affectionately, "so...it's not wrong if you want to forgive your father, Menma."

The kid was stunned. His missmatched eyes widened. Surprised written clearly on his face. He did feel indescribable anger for Sasuke Uchiha from his time. It was maddened and he thought he would be crazy if he didn't let it out. But, indeed like this Sasuke mentioned or predicted, there was an foreign thought to forgive his father whispered in his heart. Menma's eyes brimmed with tears.

"It's not a crime for a child to be a child, Menma," Sasuke remind him what Naruto has been told him earlier. A tears leaked from his rinnegan eyes.

Their issue may not exactly the same but Sasuke had a father issue as well when he was a child. He craved acknowlegdement ftom his father because Itachi as a prodigy child always took spotlight. So, more or less he could feel what Menma struggle. He let Menma cried on his shoulder as he hold him gently.

That night, after Naruto back from his pregnancy check-up and they had dinner one last time together. Only three of them because the 4 elder men busy with works. When it was the time to hit the hay, Menma asked them hesistantly, "Could we... sleep together again?"

He felt ashamed to asked this kind of thing. Even to the younger version of his parents. Their age gap was not far. They could be brothers but they were still his parents for Menma. However, they maybe will not meet again after tonight so he let out his egoist side to sleep with his parents. It was one of the main reason he delayed his return to the future.

Naruto smiled warmly, "Sure."

Sasuke nodded. Three of them slept in one futon, cuddled each other.

For one last time.

—000—

The next morning, seven of them had breakfast together in Hokage Tower before they headed to the rooftop of the tower which Adult Naruto mentioned and only need to wait for the summon jutsu. Sasuke, Naruto and Menma dressed with their original outfit. The elder men had their usual outfit. Uchiha outfit for Madara and Izuna (but Izuna's minus Uchiha crest). Long dark pants with brown short kimono plus black sash for Hokage. Blue one for Tobirama. Both Tobirama and Izuna had the giant scroll which contained diagram time-travel jutsu.

Hashirama stepped closer and gave a scroll to Menma like he explained to Naruto last night. The kid surprised, "For my dad?"

"Yes, for him. He sounds interested when we told him about Asura's healing ninjutsu. Since the three of us are the reincarnation of Asura, we share the same power and some abilities," said Hashirama. He added amiably, "Ah, it doesn't mean he has to learn what we did. I give you this as a thank you for helping us sealing Black Zetsu, Menma. If he isn't interested in this matter, I don't mind if this scroll to be something to remember us by."

"It's an honour, Shodaime-sama," Menma thanked gratefully with a deep bow after he accepted the gift, "Thank you very much."

Hashirama didn't particularly like if someone get so formal to him. However, Menma who merely 12 showed the manner which impressed Hashirama. Hence, to not insult his manner, Hashirama nodded and didn't make a fuss like usually.

Menma straightened his body and saw Madara looked at him. The elder Uchiha said, "It's not what you intended to come here and you had a choice to do nothing but I'm grateful you helped us here. You are very brave. Thank you, Menma."

A tint of rosy hue colored his cheeks. Despite how mature his decision or genius, he still a kid. Not to mention, the one who just said that to him were Konoha's founders! Both Hashirama and Madara. The strongest of all in this era. He stunned in awe with proud. Izuna could see that. Tobirama deliberately said, "I apologize for the chaos I or future me ceate by writing the scroll for the next generation."

Menma looked up at Tobirama with gentle eyes. "I don't think it's your fault, Grandpa. I believe the future you had to do it because it was for the best."

The elder men stunned for how mature Menma handle it. He didn't raised in war era yet he matured quickly like the founders. Tobirama smirked and ruffled Menma's dark hair, "I'm glad I can meet my great-great-grandson."

Izuna detected proud in the voice and smile on his husband's. He smiled as he closed the distance between them and said to Menma, "I'll miss someone who appreciate my cook."

Menma tilted his head at Izuna, "How about Grandpa Tobirama?"

"He's such a workaholic, he rarely eat with me let alone enjoy my cook," Izuna sighed fondly. Tobirama offensed, "I ate it."

"Occasionally," Izuna countered with arched eyebrow. Menma said, "It is said in my history book that Nidaime Hokage was a workaholic. So, it's true."

Izuna nodded in agreement. Tobirama only faced away with no words to counter back. Hashirama chuckled and asked Menma, "Did your book mention that I am too?"

All eyes on Hashirama. The kid asked, "Mention what?"

"Workaholic."

Everyone turned into silent. United, their thought was: seriously?

"What? I'm workaholic too!" Hashirama insisted. Madara stopped him with, "We talk about that later." Menma let out a small laugh along with Izuna because he was surprised to witness the founders behaviour. He never imagine the founders would be like that. At that moment, he felt someone's eyes on him. He turned to found Naruto looked at him with glistening eyes. His smile fadded as he walked towards Naruto slowly.

Unbeknown to Menma, this moment was the first time for Naruto to see the kid's laugh. Menma gave the mature vibe in his action and words despite he barely teenager. That's why when he laughed earlier, Naruto realized the kid never laugh since they met. There was high probability it caused by Sasuke presence's. Sometimes Menma behaved like a kid around Naruto but he keep his calm whenever Sasuke around them.

Naruto said with watery smile, "You should laugh often, Menma. I bet another me will love that."

"Dad..." Menma frowned and hugged the blond's torso. "I will miss you, Dad..."

Closed his eyes, Naruto hugged the kid back with tears on his cheeks. He sobbed, "S-silly... you will meet your real dad later..."

Menma's muffled voice said, "You are my dad too..."

His overflow tears wet Menma's hair as Naruto tightened his embrace a bit. Both of them knew that they were father and son albeit different future or reality. It may not matched their origins. Yet, blood indeed thicker than water. They felt they will never met again forever. This will be their last time and it crushed them. On Naruto's shoulder, Menma tilted his head to locked his watery eyes with Sasuke's who stood beside Naruto. The kid raised his hand to reached him.

Sasuke took Menma's hand and stepped closer to them. He leaned down to lightly kiss the kid's head. Softly, only Menma and Naruto were able to heard, he whispered, "You are our son, too, Menma."

The said kid weeping silently in Naruto's embrace. Sasuke caressed his hair after Menma's fingers left the teenager Uchiha's and currently grasped onto Sasuke's white shirt like he didn't want let it go. In this moment, Naruto gasped. He felt an invisible chakra started to spread all over Menma who felt it too. They leaned away. Sasuke noticed them.

The summon jutsu has started.

"This is it..." said Naruto sadly as he cradled Menma's crying face who knew that it was the truth.p

Sasuke and others saw the jutsu around Menma to take him away. Once again, Naruto hold Menma close and whispered truthfully, "I'm glad I've met you, Menma... I love you, Son..."

"I... love you too, Dad..."

Menma started fading and he leaned away to locked eyes with Sasuke who smile sadly. Actually, he didn't know what to say to the Uchiha but as he felt he would taken away with the summon jutsu, he opened his lips but Sasuke beat him with a, "Sasuga da, ore no ko da."

As expected from my son.

The words from his late father which meant the world for Sasuke. An acknowledgement for his ability meet his father expectation. Menma didn't know the sentiment behind those words but he felt indescribable proud, joy and admiration. The moment his time was up and he vanished from the founder era, he said unfinished word to Sasuke...

"Fa—!"

WHUSH!

"Menma!" He felt his father embraced him as soon as he opened his eyes. The taller and older Naruto check him up in worried, "Are you alright? Is everything hurt?"

The kid blinked. He saw the sight from Hokage's tower rooftop has changed. The face rock on Hokage's mountain has five face and not just one. He cautiously touched the blond and looked up at blue eyes, "Dad...?"

"Yes?" Adult Naruto puzzled. "Why are you crying? Are you hurt?"

Menma replied softly, "I'm fine... I just..." his eyes looked around. He found his grandfathers stood behind his dad. His uncle stood within an unknown diagram. Shisui and Obito were there inside those diagram as well. Both looked exhausted. It seems three of them were the creator of these new jutsu. Then, not far from those three...

Another man on his knees like he still in the position of a jutsu, stared at him. An older man with same age with his dad. The one Menma just saw although only teenager version...

"It's your father, Sasuke Uchiha," said the blond after he noticed Menma stared at someone. He just stared and didn't say anything. So, Naruto gestured to other man come closer.

"Come, Sasuke, meet your son, Menma."

Both of them were introduced to each other.

—000—

"Sorry, Sasuke..." Naruto wiped his own tears, "I used up your part to hug Menma..."

Sasuke embraced Naruto gently, "I don't mind." The blond hugged him tightly and buried his face on Sasuke's shoulder. Naruto's sadness mixed with Sasuke's own through their bond. The four elder men let them took their time to sorted out their feelings due to farewell with Menma. Naruto felt worse because being pregnant, his emotion became unstable more than before. After he looked alright and leaned away from Sasuke, Naruto sighed, "I'm ok..."

"Naruto," Izuna stepped closer with Madara beside him. He has put the scroll on the floor and in his hands there was a box with furoshiki (traditional Japanese wrapping cloth). Uchiha crest on the side of this furoshiki. "This is for you," Izuna gave it with a gentle smile. Naruto looked at the brothers.

"For me?" He accepted it. "What is it?"

"Baby clothes with Uchiha crest," said Izuna. Blue eyes widened. He stayed silent as the man continued, "It's from Toshizo's and Hiko's clothes."

Madara explained, "Traditionally, your relatives should be the one who give this to you. However, since both of your clan in the brink of extinction, we give this to you as a thank you and farewell gift."

"Besides, you are our brothers too despite we will live in different time," added Izuna. Madara nodded as he gazed into blue ones. Naruto's tears fell once again. He hugged Madara and cried out, "Onii-chan...!"

Madara hugged him gently, "Otouto yo..."

Looked at them, Hashirama stepped closer to Sasuke. The youngest Uchiha stared at Hokage who opened his arms towards him. "Sasuke," Hashirama smiled as gestured him to his arms. It didn't take genius to know what Hashirama meant. Sasuke scowled, "You've got to be kidding."

"This will be our last time to see each other," Hashirama reasoned. "If it's help, I won't call you onii-chan."

Sasuke's brow twitched and he stayed still for a moment before sluggishly he let Hashirama getting closer. The taller Hokage whispered with a serene smile, "Take care, Aniki." Onyx eyes widened briefly before he closed it and whispered back, "Farewell, Otouto."

Izuna said to both teenager after they took a close distance away from the founders, "Sasuke, Naruto. I want to thank you for your accidental time travelling to here. Suppose you didn't, I maybe dead by now and other future like Menma's will never happens. Hardship never failed to found its way in life. I didn't say Menma's future are better than yours because they had problems too so don't compared yours to his."

Naruto nodded, Izuna smiled gently at him, "You may not raised by your parent and I bet you are in the dark about your pregnancy but you will be a great dad to your children. I'm sure you are more than capable to help Sasuke revive Uchiha Clan in your time." The blonde blushed at that but beamed. Izuna looked at Sasuke, "Make sure you revive our clan but don't make the same mistake with your ancestors, Sasuke." The teenager didn't say anything, only nodded slightly. Izuna added with a sad smile, "Lastly... if... Tobirama, I mean the edo-tensei one, still there in your time... tell him that... I forgive him."

Tobirama was shocked to heard that from Izuna. But, he understood. His fingers interlaced with Izuna's wordlessly. Tobirama stared at the boys, "I apologize for decision that another me made in your time pushed Uchiha Clan to prepare coup d' etat and in result, you being the sole survivor, Sasuke. About creating edo-tensei too."

The said Uchiha keep silent. Before he could said anything, Hashirama said, "I would like to thank you for your arrival here too. All of us," he referred to their marriage, "can be together, unlike in your original history. I'm sorry for naivity of another me which resulted jinchuriki like you was needed, Naruto." He gestured his family, "We are sorry for everything..."

Again, Sasuke didn't said anything. Naruto wiped away tears which has fallen throughout the words from the founders and Sasuke embraced him gently. He smiled at the elder men, "It's alright, Grandpas, Madara, Izuna. I can handle it because I'll become Hokage!"

Hashirama beamed, Tobirama smirked, Madara smiled and Izuna nodded proudly. Sasuke sighed fondly, "You can be Hokage but not in this era." Sasuke looked at the founders, "What's done is done. I prefer history in our time will never repeat again."

The four elder men nodded. Sasuke stared at them for few more seconds before noticed the sun getting higher. "It's almost afternoon," he commented. Tobirama took it as a cue.

"Do you want to start now?" Tobirama asked. Izuna added, "It doesn't have to be this morning if you want."

Sasuke said, "We delayed it more than enough."

They nodded in understanding. Before Naruto's pregnancy reached the impossible time to engaged in chakra consuming jutsu, they need to do this as soon as possible. Wordlessly, Tobirama and Izuna spread out the scroll they've brought on the floor. The used one set of bijuu's chakras to traapped Black Zetsu yesterday so they only have one set undisturbed 9 sealed bijuu's chakra.

Hashirama walked together with Naruto. The blond put the furashiki bundle beside his right leg. They stood on Yang part at the same time Madara and Sasuke stood on Yin part. Four of them faced Tobirama and Izuna who prepared to open bijuus chakra's seal outside the Ba Qua diagram. Tobirama remind them again the way to activate this time-travel jutsu. The four reincarnates nodded.

"Let's begin," Tobirama announced.

He opened the seal of bijuus' chakra along with Izuna. It went smoothly as the diagram activated. Tobirama nodded to them as their sign to started syncronyzed their chakras. Four of them formed hundreds hand seals as they let out their chakras. The hand seals they used were not common one. Took it from Indra's grandson scroll, they choose hand seals which resembles each bijuus physically, their main habitat or their element type and other nature relation which related to them.

As their chakras syncronized to each other, Naruto and Hashirama started feeling like they had when they first used their chakra together. It felt familiar, warm and safe. Their chakras resonanted to each other which resulted they felt Asura's presence stronger. Madara and Sasuke felt the same. They sensed Indra's presence stronger than ever!

As the time went by, it was not only sensed by the reincarnations but slowly, two figures formed visibly in front of them. Slightly faded like Adult Naruto yesterday. Only appearance without any physical body. All eyes on both figures.

"Who...?" Izuna asked cautiously.

Long haired with low ponytail started, "Our reincarnation, Madara Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha..."

"Indra Otsutsuki!" Sasuke widened his eyes.

The short haired man talked, "Our reincarnations, Hashirama Senju, Naruto Uzumaki..."

Naruto gasped, "Asura Otsutsuki!"

Madara recognized Indra from Susanoo's memories. The other three were thunderstrucked. The figures stood in between the reincarnations and Tobirama-Izuna. Otsutsuki brothers locked eyes with their reincarnations. The jutsu process has been halted but the diagram still activated.

"What's going on?" Naruto absolutely clueless.

Asura exchaged a glance with Indra, "Ani-ue..."

Indra looked back to the reincarnations and explained to them, "When there are two similar chakra activates at the same place and time, it will resonances. In this case, because there are two sets of our reincarnations who resonances their chakras, we are able to present visibly albeit not physically."

"Is this normal occasion? Did this happened frequently in the past?" Asked Hashirama.

Asura replied, "No. This is the first time for us as well to talk directly to our reincarnation. I believe it can be happens now only because there are two of my reincarnations and two of Ani-ue's reincarnations syncronized their chakras."

"Ah!" Naruto remembered something, "Is that why when I learnt healing ninjutsu with Grandpa Shodaime, I felt your presence getting stronger almost tangible!"

"Yes, at that time, both of you use quite some of your chakras. This time, you two use generous amount of chakras so I can be here and converse with you," explained Asura with a smile.

Naruto stunned, "Wow... is it true that you and your brother really inside four of us? I mean, yeah, sometimes I can feel your presence but now to talk to you myself, it's amazing!

"Indeed, we are. Ani-ue and I always within four of you since you were born," Asura nodded.

Sasuke asked Indra, "What's the purpose of this?"

"It's the effect from yours and Madara's chakras resonances to each other. Yet," Indra glanced at Asura before continued, "with us here, it's your chance to reawaken your rinnegan, Sasuke."

Onyx eyes widened, "My rinnegan?"

"Both of them," Indra confirmed.

Naruto gasped, "How?"

Indra elaborated, "Technically, Sasuke has three sets of Asura's chakras inside him. First, it's from you, Naruto. You gave him your chakra at the war to him. Second, Edo- tensei version of Hashirama Senju. Lastly, a senjutsu user gave Sasuke something closely related to Hashirama Senju like his cell. My father only accelerates the rinnegan's awakens process with his chakra. Sooner or later, Sasuke bound to have rinnegan."

"He lost his rinnegan when he came here due to our grandmother's jutsu degenerates it but rinnegan, unlike sharingan which after certain jutsu like Izanagi, it will not turn into blindness. He could have it again and when you two back to your era, he won't blind and still have one rinnegan along with one sharingan," said Asura.

Indra added, "But, it has to be now. We can't help the rinnegan awaken process in the future."

"Because you two only have this appearance due to chakras resonances between reincarnations?" Sasuke speculated. Indra neither confirmed nor denied but they know that was the reason.

"Sasuke!" Naruto beamed at him, "You won't be blind!"

Before Sasuke said anything, Asura delivered another news, "Izanagi is still needed."

"What?" The blond head snapped at Asura's direction. Madara asked, "What do you mean?"

"Time-travel jutsu cost a rinnegan to be degenerated. We saw it happened to Menma," Hashirama reasoned. "Sasuke lost his too since he only have one rinnegan before."

"No, Izanagi is not to activate time-travel jutsu, rinnegan would be fine for that. However," Asura's eyes focused on Naruto's blue eyes then down to his belly, "you need protection for them."

"Them?" Sasuke asked. He turned his attention to Naruto who looked ashen. "Naruto?"

Asura said, "A twin. He is pregnant with twins."

Onyx eyes widened, "Twins?"

Hashirama realized what it was about, he asked Naruto softly, "You haven't told him, Naruto?"

Sasuke glared at Hashirama, "You knew?!"

"We just found out about it last night," Hokage told him how he knew. "I thought he will tell you. I've done the best to protect the twins within my ability. I thought it would be adequate."

Frowned deeply, Sasuke looked at the blond and his belly. Softly, he asked, "Naruto, Why didn't you tell me?"

Naruto frwoned but nervous, "I... last night, we were with Menma. I don't want him to feel more guilty because we delayed our chance to return after he arrived here."

Onyx and blue eyes locked with each other. He stepper closer to Naruto and touched the belly part. Sasuke felt a slight bump. It didn't as flat as he thought. His onyx eyes softened as he asked in whisper, "Twins?"

"Twins," Naruto replied in the same manner.

Through their bond, he felt Sasuke's joy at the prospect to have two children and the worry due to time travel concequence. Sasuke able to see the truth from Naruto's words then sighed. It has been done. It will be a waste if he get angry while the time keep going. They don't have any time to waste anymore. He stared at Asura, "Why do we need Izanagi? Is rinnegan can't do something about this protection?"

Asura shook his head, "Rinnegan can do much, but not that. It can revive people, create life but not rewrite reality like Izanagi and vice versa."

"Time-travel is not something without a risk. Even a rinnegan will be degenerated when the user went through the process so an unborn child will be have a hard time when you two finish the jutsu," explained Indra.

Like Itachi said at the war, every jutsu has a weakness. Even the most powerful one. He should realized it sooner. No one said anything but from Indra's explanation, it was clear they've made mistake when they create the time-travel jutsu. They didn't consider someone who was pregnant will be the jutsu user. "What do we do?" asked Sasuke to Otsutsuki's brothers.

Asura and Indra exchanged a glance before the elder one said, "You need to use two Izanagis for them. One for each."

The rest gasped in shocked. He continued, "Izanagi is powerful but limited. It need the exact target and due to the way it's performs, one time at the time, one Izanagi only able to protect one."

Heavy silent followed Indra's explanation. Two Izanagis meant two eyes will be blind forever. It was not an easy decision especially for an Uchiha who take a pride at their eyes more than anything. Indeed, there was a time of Uchihas abuse Izanagi power hence they created Izanami to balanced it. Sasuke thought all the choice he have. Should he used Izanagi with both eyes and blind, when his rinnegan awaken, his eyes will be back to his sight but with rinnegan. Madara in his time experiences this when he had only one blind eye.

However, Madara asked Indra, "Does it have to be Sasuke as the caster? Can other people put Izanagi on them?"

Sasuke frowned at him, "Madara."

"No. It doesn't have to be Sasuke," Indra implied the confirmation of Madara's line of thought.

"I'll do it," Madara said.

Sasuke refused such an offer from the elder Uchiha, "I don't need your help. I can do it myself and I'll still have my sight after my rinnegan awakens. It happened to Madara in my time."

Naruto said solemnly at Madara, "Do you plan to awakens your rinnegan so you won't lost your sight?"

"No," Madara replied simply. Naruto frowned deeply.

"Madara, you'll lose your sight forever if you use Izanagi on both eyes," said Naruto worriedly. Madara only responded with, "I'm aware of that." Yet, he has no interest to awaken his rinnegan. Madara was well-aware of rinnegan user's risk and it was something he could life without. When he glanced at Sasuke, unspoken question was clear so Madara explained.

"I'm sorry... for what another me has done in your timeline, Naruto, Sasuke," he said slowly.

Naruto's blue eyes widened... brimmed with tears. He never expected an apologize from anyone about his life. Especially from Madara. The one he saw in war was an arrogant badass genius villain. However, this Madara living in better reality than Madara in his time. Naruto never know future Madara personally because they were in war. But, this Madara... the one who married with Shodaime, was as kind as Sasuke. It was like edo tensei Shodaime said, Madara was a kind and caring person before his younger brother's death.

Sasuke also didn't expected such an action from the Uchiha's patriarch. He frowned but didn't said anything. True, that all of his and Naruto's childhood was tragedy because of Madara. Albeit, he and Obito were manipulated by Black Zetsu, they have done it.

Tobirama, as the last who did not expected that, looked at his husband and his brother to expected them protest about Madara's decision decision to use Izanagi to protect Naruto's twin babies. However, the sight he found was unexpected. Izuna's unshed tears... surprised and silenced him. Scarlet eyes moved to his elder brother and saw the same thing. Those understand and sympathy in glistening eyes. The realization sinked in. Izuna and Hashirama knew about this. Tobirama doubt Madara told them but they knew the Uchiha's patriarch by heart and saw this will coming.

"I told you, I'm fine," Naruto couldn't held back his tears and let it down on his cheeks.

Madara smiled at the blond, "I know. It's just... the me in your time caused your misery by taking your parents, at least I want to do something to protect your new family. Your children."

"But, Sasuke can d—!"

"Naruto," Madara cutted him in, "If you can't think of it as my atonement, let me do it as your brother."

The blond stunned and touched by it. He did think of Madara in this era as his elder brother. Naruto rarely have someone who consider him as family so it was soft spot for him. He loss for words and Madara took it as an agreement.

Asura turned to his brother, smiled warmly, "It seems like you never change despite being reincarnates many times, Ani-ue."

"Right back at you, Asura," Indra smiled faintly.

Madara asked Indra, "What do I do? Should I in direct contact with Naruto?"

"You still have a trace of Senju DNA after gave birth three weeks ago so you just need to plant Izanagi inside Naruto through his eyes." Indra told him to timing his Izanagi so when the time-travel jutsu sent them to the future, it will automatically rewrite reality. The purpose would be to have damage-free and healthy body from aide effect of the time-travel jutsu.

In the meantime, Asura and Indra helped Sasuke reawakens his rinnegan back. Sasuke closed his eyes. One of the crucial requirement for it was the lose of love one. Every Uchiha and their spouse knew that. Indra told Sasuke that his chance only now, not only because he and Asura could be summoned like this by two sets of their reincarnation but also due to the grief Sasuke felt after Menma has gone. If Sasuke didn't feel like this, even with him and Asura here, they couldn't helped him to reawaken rinnegan. Otsutsukis brothers were powerful together but there was something only their father, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, could do.

"Open your eyes," said Asura.

Sasuke opened his eyes and revealed two rinnegans. At the same time, Madara also done with his part. Indra nodded to Asura who formed hand seals at the same time with his brother.

"We will alters the time in that jutsu so both of you will arrive at the same month in here. It will reduce any damage to any of you if the time you've spent here and the time you've been absent there are the same," explained Asura.

"So, we will arrive at summer next year after the war?" Asked Naruto. "In the middle of Augst?"

"Yes."

"We will do it no—" Indra halted and looked at the blond who called him.

"Wait, let me say goodbye," said Naruto. Indra stayed silent as Naruto took the furashiki bundle from the floor and looked at the four elder men. The scroll about his medical history from Hashirama in his pocket. He smiled genuinely, "Thank you... for all of you to change history and create future like Menma's... I don't blame any of you for my life. I can't blame someone or something for my life. It doesn't work that way. Anyway, coming here is the greatest experience I can never imagine! So much fun! Ah, Kurama say goodbye too. He said 'take care, brats'!"

Izuna, Tobirama, Hashirama and Madara smiled. The Uchiha's patriarch said, "Likewise, Naruto."

"Have a happy life, Naruto, Sasuke. I wish for your happiness," said Hashirama. Tobirama added, "Congratulations for the twins, both of you."

"Take it easy, Naruto. Don't force yourself," Izuna remind them. "Keep an eye on him, Sasuke. You knew sometimes Naruto force himself."

Sasuke nodded. He interlaced his fingers with Naruto and both of them stood side by side. Sasuke bid them a short good bye, "Farewell."

The four elder men said it back to the teenagers before Sasuke nodded towards Indra as a cue then the jutsu diagram shone brightly. In the next second, the light vanished along with Sasuke, Naruto, Asura and Indra. The same time they arrived at the future, Madara lost his sight.

"Brother," Izuna stepped closer to Madara. "Your eyes..."

His eyes only white without relfected any light, "Yeah... it means... they are safely turned up in the future..."

Hashirama who stood beside Madara now exchanged meaningful glance with Izuna. The low pony-tail man nodded then said to Madara, "Brother, I want you to accept one of my eye."

Tobirama and Madara surprised. The elder brother protested, "Izuna, wh—!"

"I can't let you in blindness for the rest of your life and I know you have no plans to awaken your rinnegan nor you won't accept my eyes if I give both to you so just one. Hokage will be the one to transplants mine to yours," Izuna plead desperately. "Please, Brother."

Hashirama said, "I beg you, Madara. We respect your decision to sacrifice your sight for Naruto's children but could you please think about Hiko? Who will teach him about sharingan? Usually it's taught by family members right, especially parents?"

Madara stayed silent. Izuna insisted, "Just one eye, Brother. Just one eye."

"Tobirama will not appr—"

"I have no objection," confirmed Tobirama calmly. "If Izuna decide it is the best, I will respect his decision like my brother did to you."

As expected from Tobirama, he didn't sugar-coated his words and even pointed out that as a spouse, Madara should respect Hashirama's suggestion. Like Hokage just did earlier. He didn't go against Madara's one-side decision. Madara sighed and agreed.

"Uhm!"

The wind and nausea sensation stopped as soon as it came. Sasuke held Naruto tight until they felt the transition has passed. Cautiously, Sasuke opened his eyes. One of his rinnegan slowly faded and degenerated into Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. He looked around and found that they were on Hokage's tower rooftop. Looked up at Hokage's mountain, there are 6 faces on the rock. The last one was Kakashi Hatake.

"Are we there yet?" Naruto slowly opened his eyes, he followed Sasuke's eyes direction and surprised, "Kakashi-sensei is Hokage now?"

"It seems so," said Sasuke. "Unless, we are in another timeline."

Naruto looked toughtful, "No, we are in our time. I can feel other bijuus and Kurama can talk to them like usually. He can't do that with bijuus in Grandpa Shodaime's era."

"Are you tired?" asked Sasuke, he cradled Naruto's face. The blond shook his head. "No, it's not. I'm fine. I don't feel any different with my body or our babies."

Sasuke put his palm on Naruto's belly. He sighed in relief. "I think it's because Indra and Asura helped us with the time-travel jutsu so we are not exhausted like we did the first time."

"I think s—" Blue eyes widened, "Someone is coming!"

Instantly, on alert, Sasuke put Naruto behind him and took out his Kusanagi sword at the same time two presence teleported in front of them. Edo tensei version of Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze like tge last time they saw them. Both teenagers widened their eyes in shocked.

"Naruto!" Minato exclaimed in relief. "You're alive!"

"Dad!" Naruto stepped closer, Sasuke let him be. "You're still here?! I thought Orochimaru would release you from Edo-Tensei after the war is over." The blond gasped, "The war is over, right?"

"It is over," replied Tobirama. "We are still here not to fight."

Naruto puzzled, "Then, for what?"

Before any explanation given, edo-tensei version of Hashirama and Sandaime together along with Kakashi who dressed as Hokage, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Sakura, Iruka and Shikamaru arrived as well.

"Sasuke-kun! Naruto!" Sakura cried and hugged both of them. "You're alive! You two are alive!" She was crying in relief.

"Whoa! Sakura-chan, calm down, calm down, we are alive. We have been away but yes, we are alive," Naruto reassured his pinknette friend.

"Away?" Tsunade asked. Iruka curious, "Where have you've been?"

"We've been searching for you two all over the world," said Shikamaru. Kakashi noticed something different with his pupils and suggested, "Let's come inside first then we can talk."

It was almost afternoon, they headed to Hokage's office. Kakashi sat behind Hokage's desk. The rest of them stood but Sasuke demanded to Kakashi, "Bring a chair for Naruto. He must sit down."

"Sasuke!" Naruto protested bashfully. "I'm fine."

The last Uchiha survivor narrowed his eyes at Kakashi without said any word. Kakashi knew there must be a reason Sasuke demand that so he complied. He glanced at Shikamaru and the Nara brought a chair for Naruto. The blond seems refused but Sasuke arched an eyebrow and Naruto sat with a huff.

"So, where have you been, Sasuke, Naruto?" Kakashi asked. He explained that after Kaguya was sealed, the 8 bijuus extracted and Mugen Tsukuyomi cancelled automatically, one last time before he died, Obito helped Kakashi and Sakura to went back to their world from Kaguya's dimension with bijuus help.

"Gaara asked the bijuu and they told him that they couldn't contact your Kyuubi, Naruto. Since Kaguya was sealed, it's unlikely Kyuubi was sealed along with her," Tsunade elaborated.

Minato added, "Based on them, no matter how far bijuus were apart, they can talk to each other but 8 of them couldn't communicate with your Kyuubi."

Sandime also said, "Even though a bijuu may die within a Jinchuriki, they can reincarnates and after almost one year, no sign of Kyuubi reincarnates."

"That's because Kurama and I'm not die yet," Naruto pointed out.

"Then, where were you?" Iruka asked. "We've been worried and all nations are looking for you two for the last few months."

Tobirama explained, "Yondaime worried about you so we help to search for you two. That's why Orochimaru hasn't been dismissed us."

Sasuke and Naruto turned their head to Orochimaru, "You've been helping them, Orochimaru? Naruto asked hesistantly.

"We couldn't find you, Sasuke-kun, Naruto-kun. All sensor type shinobis looking for you, we've tried to created a dimensional travel to search for you but without no sharingan in this world, it's a futile one," replied Orochimaru. How could not he help them? Sasuke was one of his greatest discovery so Orochimaru won't lost sight of him.

Sasuke looked at all of them, he asked, "Do you want to find me to put me in a jail?" Naruto blanched to hear that.

"We discussed your fate with Daimyos and other Kages," said Kakashi, "due to your influence to put Kaguya down, you are pardoned. But, just this one time, Sasuke."

Naruto beamed at Kakashi, Sasuke nodded. He started, "I'll tell you what happened to us, but don't interrupted and what you heard here, end here."

Everyone nodded then Sasuke told them their time-travel experience but not in detail. Just significant event and avoid to mention about the marriage between Senju and Uchiha. He definitely mentioned Naruto's heat cycle and told them Naruto currently pregnant. Also, about Menma, Black Zetsu, Indra and Asura, he end it with, "Hence, we just return to this era a few minutes ago."

"Naruto is pregnant?" Sakura shocked. The other looked surprised but Sasuke demanded one thing.

All Hokages knew about male pregnancy despite the practise has been forgotten. There was a Hokage scroll which the new Hokage will need to read and have knowledge more than others. Minato stepped closer to Naruto who looked up at him, "You are pregnant, Naruto?"

The blond nodded hesistantly, "Yes, Dad... I-I—"

"Please leave. It's family matter," said Sasuke to Sakura, Shikamaru and Orochimaru. Sakura a bit declined but Shikamaru told her that indeed it's family thing and as a friend, they should leave. Orochimaru left calmly, followed by Shikamaru, Sakura and Iruka who looked hesistant but he knew it was not his business.

"I have something to tell you," said Sasuke to the Hokages after the other went out. Sasuke told them the full story of founders era. Senju and Uchiha marriages, the farewell words from the founders and the difference between this time and Menma's time, like Tsunade born as Tobirama's granddaughter not Hashirama's. The Senjus shocked.

"Izuna... was alive?" Tobirama bewildered. Sasuke nodded, "He told me to tell you that he forgive you."

Tobirama loss for words. Tsunade thunderstrucked, "I'm Uncle Tobirama's granddaughter in another future?" Sasuke nodded once again. The three Senju looked at each other. Hashirama stunned, "Madara and I get married in another timeline..."

Tsunade commented with a smile, "Yet, it seems no matter which timeline or reality, I'm still related to both of you, Grandfather, Uncle." Hashirama and Tobirama smiled, Tsunade turned to Naruto who was in staring contest with his father.

"Yondaime Hokage," all attention on Sasuke who stood on Naruto's other side. The Uchiha came to in front of Minato and they have stare contest for a long time before Sasuke bow down in dogeza (sitting right on the ground) postion. Everyone widened their eyes.

"Sasuke!" Naruto surprised.

"I, Sasuke Uchiha, son of Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha, asking you to give me your son," Sasuke said clearly. "I humbly apologize for causing Naruto pregnant out of wedlock and I will take full responsibility of my action. I won't leave his side like I did in the past. I promise I'll protect him and our children to my best ability."

"Sasuke..." Naruto's face reddened.

"With all due respect, I beg you to give us your blessing," he said earnestly. Hokage and ex-Hokages stayed silent to gave Minato a moment. Uncomfortable silent blanketed them. Naruto looked at his father with worried.

Minato looked down at Sasuke who still in dogeza position. He asked seriously, "Do you love Naruto?"

The blond blushed hard, "Dad! Can't you ask anything else?" His protes was ignored.

"With all my heart," he answered without a doubt. Naruto, albeit he knew it from their bond, it still warmed his heart to heard it verbally. His cheeks reddened. Minato turned to his son, he asked the same thing, "Do you love Sasuke-kun, Naruto?"

"Wh—what?! Dad... it's...uhm..." It was so embarrassed to heard your own father ask about that kind of thing. Naruto flustered and a bit lost how to answer that. In the end, he sighed and smile bashfully, "...yeah, I do love him..."

Minato smiled, he said to Sasuke, "Please, stand up, Sasuke-kun."

Slowly, Sasuke straightened his body then stood on his feet. He faced Minato calmly. The Yondaime Hokage said, "Everyone make mistakes all the time. Your past is not your life sentence, Sasuke-kun. I barely had few days with my son and but I trust him. He choose you and you love him. I won't have time to be there to see the family you two create but I'm glad I can be here now to witness with my own eyes that my son has someone who will be hia family now."

He smiled to the Uchiha's survivor, "I leave my son in your care, Sasuke-kun. Please take care of Naruto."

Sasuke bowed politely accepted it.

4 years later

"Dad is coming home! When Dad will be back from hospital, Grandpa?" Little Menma with bright blue eyes, beamed at Iruka.

The Chunin smiled kindly, "Any moment now, he is on the way with your father and your new sibling." He asked Menma, "Have you clean your toys and put them in the box, Menma?"

"Oh, oh, but I want to play it with my new sibling," said Menma.

"Why don't you play with your twin sister?" Iruka suggested. Menma pouted, "I don't want to play with dolls. It's not fun with her."

A little girl with long straight red hair like Kushina walked into the living room with a barbie in her hands. Her face and Menma's face were Naruto's features. They had whiskered cheeks like Naruto. Both of them dressed in typical Uchiha's clothes. Menma in blue, his twin sister in orange.

"You are not fun too, Brother," said the little girl.

"Not me. You," Menma insisted. The sister frowned, "No, you!"

"You!"

"You!"

"Alright, alright, you two, how about a truce?" Iruka sighed. It happened everytime with the twins. They have two different mindset.

"But, Grandpa Iruka—!" The girl protest halted when all of them heard their father's voice. "We're home," said Sasuke in the entrance.

The twins beamed and ran towards their fathers. Both of them hastily said in union, "Welcome home, Father, Dad!"

Naruto, looked down at his kids, smiled, "We're back, Menma, Suma." The twins stared at the bundle which their Dad cradled closely. "Is that our new sibling?" Menma asked.

Naruto and Sasuke smiled. Menma's blue eyes and Suma's purple eyes sparkled brightly. "Yes," replied Sasuke.

"A boy or a girl?" Suma asked curiously.

Naruto carefully leaned down and on his knees to showed the newborn baby to the twins, "Meet your new baby brother, Menma, Suma." The sleeping baby has blond hair but his feature face look like Sasuke and Mikoto with whiskered cheeks.

"Say hello to Yuma."

FIN

Thanks for reading! Thanks for the support and all that!!! Chap 18 only long author's note so you don't have to read it. This story end here!

osh0204: Yes, that's my point. Isn't it ironic that the chosen heir is Asura but people in Naruto's era focus on ninjutsu power rather than ninshuu, right? Hagoromo maybe a great leader but imo, he is a bad father. Idk, maybe coz I like Indra so I think Hagoromo should give Indra a chance rather than judge him to be dark or something. It's not something a parent should do but yes, it is a leader must do, imho.

Wow, that's an interesting idea! I would love that too LOL Well, I didn't show how their peer's reaction much coz I'm more focus on the family side. Awwh, I'm honoured! Thank you for syaing this is one if the best story you've read! I'll miss reading your review too!
