A.N Seeing the poor response, I can see that people are bored. To counter that I think I will just post once a full arc is finished so it can reduce the boredom.

While Naruto passed time with Kaguya, his other side was sitting down with Sasuke in the garden and the women were sitting together.

The brothers in but blood stood on the rooftop with the moon shining above them and the stars decorating the night.

The duo sat in silence as they enjoyed the view from the roof and stood near the railings with a cup of sake.

Whenever they had time, Naruto and Sasuke would hang around. The time with the guys was different than the time with the girls, especially for Sasuke so he liked this time.

"What do you think?" Naruto asked as he sat down on the railing and took a sip, and felt it burn inside.

"I don't mind, Boruto isn't a bad kid." Sasuke replied calmly as he looked down towards the women sitting in the garden.

"Heh, of course he is a good kid. Though, I thought you might prefer Asura or Shun." Naruto smiled as he ate some snacks put on the table. The snacks flew into his mouth and towards Sasuke.

"You already know the answer. Let's leave it to the kids." Sasuke let the snack fly into his mouth and turned to Naruto.

Sasuke preferred people that were outgoing.

Naruto chuckled at his words and pulled Sasuke to his side, "Oh, that made me heart skip a beat."

Sasuke didn't resist and just went on with it unless Naruto started getting drunk enough to start kissing him.

Naruto loved drinking, it didn't really cause him any damage and he could cancel it with a thought but he just enjoyed the experience.

It was the same for all of the high rankers. There wasn't a natural drink that could put them down.

Naruto was very open with Sasuke as a sign of his love and care for him, so it did end up getting too close. He didn't kiss the lips but even the neck and hands were very uncomfortable for Sasuke.

"How are things going?" Sasuke asked as Naruto put his arm around his neck.

"Happy, happier, happiest, what about you?" Naruto smiled as he took another sip and leaned back.

"Hmm, it is getting better. I think I am going to miss these days."

"Why so negative, we will play with our grandchildren so nothing to worry about." Naruto looked at him and punched his arm.

Sasuke looked down, "I have been feeling heaviness in my heart and it reminds me of the day before the massacre. I don't think I will live to see my grandchildren."

"Stop moping, I will make sure you will live to that day." Naruto hugged him close and put his cup to Sasuke's mouth, forcing him to drink.

"We are going to another level soon and Nu 13 will soon be operational." Naruto added and noted down in his mind to make a visit to update the genetic codes.

Sasuke was aware of all the development for the war. The androids, planet size mech, giant monsters and the Ultimate weapon Nu 13 but there was always the chance that something big might appear to end their journey before it even started.

All of them had resolved their minds for death but they needed the world to survive and go on.

"Any development of the escape plan?" Sasuke asked

"Yes, there are plans for the survival. Now laugh and stop making that face, let's have ride through the night like old times." Naruto caught his face with his hand and moved it around, forcing it to smile.

Naruto represented hope for a better world and walked with confidence, walked with the expectations of everyone on his back. He was positive and confident but that didn't mean, he didn't prepare for a loss.

Everything was taken into account, even the appearance of a monster beyond their understanding.

"Sorry about that, you know how I get." Sasuke muttered apologetically as he walked with Naruto towards the Garage.

"I know that's why I am here and you are there to remind me of the darkness that might miss my eyes." Naruto spoke as he walked ahead of him, just like always Sasuke felt the back of his best friend feel heavy.

'When will this accursed world allow you to rest?' Just like Naruto looked at others, Sasuke also saw more of Naruto's suffering than his own.

In the garden, the girls sat down while enjoying some green tea. Not everyone was present.

"How are things at home now?" Hinata asked as she was the one helping the Uchiha family along with Naruto and Ino while the others weren't so connected to them.

"Excellent, thanks to you guys. How about you, perfect as always or do you feel tired?" Sakura put her cup down and looked at Hinata with a smile.

"Tired, haha. No one gets tired here, as we only stop because it gets too addictive to stop if we go further. You remember what happened during the honeymoon." Ino chuckled as she put her legs down and looked at Sakura with a prideful expression.

"Who knew big bro could be such a beast." Karin covered her smile with her hand as she remembered the situation.

Naruto hadn't touched the other girls and left a clone with them to spend time with them while going on a honeymoon with Hinata and Ino.

Things went out of control very quickly as a dam burst and the trio was without contact for a month.

People had to find them, completely lost in carnal desire and they didn't seem to show sign of stopping.

It was the one the side effects of Naruto's bond ability. People had to force them away from each other and it got really violent.

"When I saw that, I felt like a thirsty woman watching another woman drown. Just terrible." Sakura shook her head remembering the scene and even now she was slightly jealous of Hinata and Ino for their current life.

"Hahaha, drown in that jealousy my friend. But, why not do your magic?" Ino winked at Sakura and asked.

"That would be quite rude, Ino. Forcing his body to feel more desire while he doesn't want it, you want to ruin it. Do you want me to lower Naruto's desire?" Sakura shook her head and stared at Ino.

She had thought of it but that was asking for the relationship to worsen, not even Naruto suggested it.

"Let's stop here, girls." Hinata gave a look to Ino and then to Sakura. Even now whenever Ino and Sakura met, they enjoyed dissing each other but it was much more subtle and not so aggressive or hate filled. It was a just a friend thing between them.

"I saw Laura with Yagura's grandson, what's up with that?" Karin steered the conversation to something else. She had seen Laura hanging with Kagura while visiting Kiri for Suigetsu.

"Kagura is a good kid and I don't have a problem with him." Kurotsuchi replied as she sat with her left leg on her right.

She took a sip and held the cup while looking at Karin. Kurotsuchi was serious about these things so she definitely wouldn't allow any of the kids choose a weakling.

It was the same for Yoruichi, they respected strength. They would fight against Naruto if he allowed the kids to choose weaklings.

"He has issues with his bloodlust."

"And? Our bloodlust makes him look like a kitten."

"True that sister, Laura will show him his place if he ever gets feisty." Yoruichi fist bumped Kurotsuchi and gave a chuckle at the comment.

"Forget about that Karin, these girls are crazy." Sakura placed her hand on Karin's shoulder and said in a gentle tone.

"No need to talk about yourself, Sakura. We all know both of you on the cray cray." Yodo leaned back into her seat and put down her headphones while giving a flying kiss to Naruto on the roof.

He caught it with on the lips while leaning backward.

Never missing a kiss, that was her love.

"Sakura, you daughter seems to have a special taste." Mei commented as she put down her pipe, she liked to smoke but this was not dangerous for the health.

Hinata gave her a look but Mei was having some fun and everyone's ears perked up.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked as she looked towards Mei.

She felt like it was not going to be good news. She didn't want to hear but the curiosity was there.

"Do you know if she likes anyone?" Ino picked up from there and Mei stopped after Hinata's gaze. She was the head of the family and this was not a thing they could talk about.

Hinata knew Sarada had been watching Naruto. Naruto might have missed it because he thought it was parent thing and Sarada was good at masking her emotions.

It was the same for Hanabi. That girl had been acting like she was still a child having fun with her brother in law but Hinata didn't miss those tell tale signs of a girl in love.

It was Hanabi's way of imprinting herself on Naruto and making him addicted to her presence. It was amusing so she didn't say a thing but it would be better for her to move on.

It also made her conflicted a little bit as she wanted Hanabi to be happy and it seems this love-sickness had reached stage 3.

"No, she is too proud for anyone." Sakura replied as her mind started thinking and calculating everything from the beginning to the end.

None of them would have brought it up if there wasn't anything.

"Oh, I thought she was interested in Asura. Guess, wrong analysis." Ino muttered as she picked up some apple pieces.

"You brought it up, tell me." Sakura didn't like the idea of being the one not in the know about her own daughter.

It was uncomfortable.

It made her feel bad that outsiders could read her child better.

Hinata looked at Sakura and sighed, "What does her style remind you off?"

"Sis, not clear enough. Sakura, who is the closest person to her? Don't lie to yourself and just answer?" Ino rolled her eyes at the vague statement by Hinata.

Hearing those words, it wasn't hard to see the answer.

"You mean, Naruto? How? He changed her diapers and has been there since she was born. You must have gone blind." Sakura felt shocked at those words and couldn't believe them. It made no sense.

"Ughh, seriously. You know how liked Naruto is, so how do you think Sarada could have resisted him? He was there for her from the beginning, meaning she compared everyone to him. I didn't notice it either because she is good at hiding it but there are short moments when she slips.

Even today she was staring at Yodo with a jealous look."

"True that, I felt her gaze. That little chic got some guts looking at me like that." Yodo was amused by Sarada and didn't truly mind.

"Let's assume I take this as the truth, what is your verdict?" Sakura asked Hinata, she knew the others could be rude while Hinata would never.

"Let them live freely, all of this part of life and she will become stronger by the end of it." Hinata understood that Sakura was uncomfortable with the situation but she didn't want her friend acting aggressively.

Sakura had a tendency to lose it when things went out of control. This could become extremely violent or damaging, if she didn't do damage control.

"So you are fine if Naruto takes my daughter?"

"I did not say that."

"But can you deny the possibility, my daughter is perfect."

"Sakura, chill. Do you think Naruto would do it?" Ino stood up and put her hands on her shoulders.

"Damn it! Why this? Everything was going so good." Sakura complained as her anger lessened and she felt down.

"Don't worry, it will pass. It's just a phase most children have. You have no idea how many love letters are in our mail box daily." Yodo commented as she remembered Naruto answering those letters. He was too nice to ignore people's feelings.

"Doesn't your husband get them as well?" Mei asked as she thought that Sakura was just overacting. She wouldn't have minded if Shun liked some women or any of the kids liking people of older age.

She was older than Naruto in physical age at the start and only knew later that he was very mentally, and then got older physically by experimenting with time.

Kaguya and Irene were older than him.

"They aren't wrong, let's trust Sarada. She is a smart kid." Karin took her hand and squeezed it. They had gotten closer over the years and were like sisters now. It was difficult at the start and they had even throttled each other but time creates miracles.

"Should I talk to her or should I wait for her to talk to me?" Sakura felt lost about this issue, she was great at the human body and all the research but when it came to emotions and the mindset, she was lost most of the time.

"Let her come to you, it feels awkward for the kids if you come on to them like that. Think about your mother or father coming inside your room and talking to you about your crush when you never told them anything." Ino replied and reminded her of the old days.

"What if Naruto does accept Sarada?" Just as things were calming down Irene opened a can of worms.
