Thank y'all for coming to read this story. Firstly I would like to say that I love Naruto and I don't really have an opinion on Boruto. This story here will NOT be based on Boruto, and there may be extra children/characters and different ships. I actually LOVE Saiino, but I wanted to do a story on Nejiino, because why not? There will also be some other abnormal/non-canon ships as well. Thank y'all so much and enjoy.
Tsunade sat in her office, looking over some paperwork, nothing too important, but nonetheless, she continued. Papers from Suna and Gaara, she sat those to the side. She'd read them first after organizing all her papers. Others from The land of fire itself, "I should just throw them in the trash bin", she said to herself, but instead, Tsunade sets them to the side as well. While continuing a creak was heard and she looks up to see her assistant, Shizune.
"Tsunade-sama, we um, we have a very unexpected guest," Shizune said, opening the door wider, allowing Tsunade sight of their visitor, as he walked in a bit further.
Tsunade's jaw dropped at the sight of their unplanned visitor. Inside her office now stood The sage of the six paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. She wanted to question why he was here, how he was here, but in all her shock she couldn't. Hagoromo smiled, walking further into Tsunade's office as she continued to be a gasp. He walked over to one of the seats in front of her desk, "Mind if I sit, Hokage-san?" he asked, releasing Tsunade from her shock.
She blinked once, then twice, "I don't mind, and p-please call me Tsunade. You're The sage of the six paths after all," Tsunade said, trying to figure out if this was real life or a dream.
Hagoromo laughed a hearty laugh," Then, by all means, Tsunade, call me Hagoromo," He smiled.
Tsunade took in a deep breath, then exhaling. She needed to relax, it might not be every day you see the creator of ninjutsu, but that didn't mean she needed to fall out of her chair, or worse, faint, "Alright then, so Hagoromo, well. What are you doing here? How even are you here?" Tsunade asked, her voice much stronger now.
The sage of the six paths straightened in his chair, "I'm here to bring knowledge unto you as well as some of your shinobis," He stated in a clear and calm voice, "For how I'm here, well I may answer that question later on,"
"Knowledge? Who are the shinobi of mine who need such?"
Hagoromo looked down to the side of his pants where his left pocket was, "Let us see here," he says, pulling what seemed to be a list from his pocket, "With my age, I can't seem to remember as well as I once did. Ah, here we go, this is a list of all the shinobi of yours that I need to meet with," He said.
She wanted to question him further, she wanted to know why her shinobi, why her? Why was he here and the old man still hadn't told her how he got here in the first place, but for some reason, she didn't push. Instead, Tsunade looked to her assistant, who had come in and shut the door some time ago during this whole conversation, "Shizune, take the list and gather the shinobi. We'll meet in room 212,"
"Hai Tsunade-sama," Shizune began leaving, but the voice of The sage of the six paths stopped her.
"Wait," He said, getting up from his chair and turning to face Shizune, "Along with those Shinobi I also need the Kazekage and his two siblings. I know they're here on business, so please inform them as well, and also that hidden in the clouds girl, uh Karui's her name I believe"
Shizune looked from Hagoromo to Tsunade and back, then she bowed politely and left the room in search for those wanted by The sage.
Hagoromo turned back towards Tsunade, smiled, and bowed politely," I need to go grab two others before our meeting of sorts," and with that Hagoromo opened the door and left. Leaving a very confused Hokage with an upcoming headache,
"What's in this?" She asked, referring to her glass of sake. She pushed it over further from her, fearing it may try to bring some other sort of confusion her way.
If only she knew
Sasuke was sitting on a hill, not too far from Orochimaru's hideout. He looked out at the sky, it was nearing noon and the sun was giving him the what for it with its heat. He wiped his brow but continued to sit in the sun's raging heat.
He looked around him, flowers scattered everywhere. He'd never tell Orochimaru this, nor would he even admit it to himself, but this place reminded him just a bit of Konoha. He fell back and laid his head on the ground and closed his eyes, feeling a soft breeze tickled his nose. Very solemnly did Saskue take a break, even a small one, but when he did he always ended back here on this small hilltop. He'd have dozed off, but then a shadow appeared behind his closed eyelids; shading his face from the sun.
Sasuke jumped up, readied in his usual fighting stance, he was fixing to strike but was brought to a halt when he realized who was in front of him. Orochimaru, his mentor, was standing in front of him, but that wasn't who got his attention. Next to Orochimaru was The sage of the six paths, "Uh," was all Sasuke was able to mutter.
Hagoromo laughed with his hearty laugh, "What? Cat got your tongue?"
Orochimaru smirked at his apprentice but continued to stay silent. Sasuke looked back and forth between the two men then set his sights back towards the sage and asked, "You're The sage of the six paths, right? What are you doing here? I thought you were dead,"
"I'll tell you the same I told Tsunade. I am here to bring knowledge to you and others you know. Now how I'm here may be revealed later on,"
If this wasn't The sage of the six paths and father of ninjutsu who he was talking with than Saskue would be pissed off at the man for his vagueness, "Wait, Tsunade?"
Hagoromo nodded, "We need to go now, the others are waiting in the village. I won't let them capture either you nor Orochimaru, but you will go with me. It would be very foolish of you to not follow me," he threatened, "Your mentor is smart enough to see that," The sage said, referring to the snake master beside him.
Saskue just answered with a, "Hn," Then followed Hagoromo
Neji sat in room 212 with the others. The room was quite large with no chairs or tables. Empty. He sat on the floor, with Lee on his right and Tenten on his left. Next to Tenten sat Guy-sensei with Kakashi-sensei and his team following suit along with Yamato. On Lee's right sat Choji, Ino, and Shikamaru with Asuma-sensei sitting next to Kurenai-sensei, followed by her team.
If Tsunade called them all here, it was a bit surprising yet understandable in a sense, what confused Neji was all the others who were in the room as well. Further from Neji sat the original Ino-Shika-Cho, with their wives by their side. Also, The thirds grandson and his team were here, alongside his cousin Hanabi. Even his uncle, Haishi and his aunt Hakane were here, along with Kiba's mom and sister, Sakura's civilian parents, and even that cat girl was here.
Ones from outside of The land of fire like The Kazekage and his two siblings were called by the Hokage along with that girl from The village hidden in the clouds, and what confused him the most was that Tsunade, Shizune, Anko, and Jiraiya were all sitting down along with them waiting for someone. Who had asked for them all?
"What is going on here?" Neji mumbled to himself, trying to figure out what could possibly be going on to need such people.
"Hm?" Tenten looked his way, "I don't know, I've never seen a room with such a diverse set of people,"
Neji would have agreed with Tenten, but the opening of the door stole both his as well as everyone else's attention. Neji's eyes almost popped out of his head when he set his sights on three people he'd never expect to see. Sasuke and Orochimaru were standing right in front of them, but what really got him was the man standing in between them. The sage of the six paths.
Neji swore he'd never thought a room full with so many people could be this quiet, but then again he never expected to see The creator of ninjutsu with his own eyes.
"I've never been so confused in my life," Neji heard Shikamaru whisper, and he agreed with the Nara one hundred percent.
I'm sorry that this chapter is a bit short, and thank y'all again for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
