Chapter 9

"...What're you doing here?" Asked a woman with wild, raven colored hair that reaches down to her butt, left knuckle resting on her hips. The woman was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt underneath a dark-green vest, black pants, open-toed sandals with black, calf-length socks, with bandages wrapped around her forearms and legs, and a sheathed sword attached to her waist. Over her outfit was a blood red, long-sleeved trench coat hanging over her shoulders with the kanji 'Sixth Hokage' etched on the back with purple flames at the bottom.

The strange thing about the intimidating yet beautiful woman was her pair of mismatched eyes; one being red with three black commas surrounding the pupil, tails pointing outwards, and the other a purple colored one with three concentric circles.

This woman is none other than Sasuke Uchiha; the Sixth Hokage, Last Uchiha, Snake Sage, and one of the world's savior. Though there are also rumors that she's the world's other hero's lover (That she suspects a certain Cyclops spread. And probably just for the hell of it, too). Though the sight before her begs to differ.

In front of her were three people; two strangers and one friend. To be more precise, one girl, and two young adults (teenagers really), and it was quite easy to spot that the child was the daughter of the two people, what with her looking like a combination of the two. Though that thought only made the last Uchiha stare at the little gynoid quite intensely.

'A god, a dictator, a gynoid child and a Grimm reaper are about to enter a village,' Naruto thought idly, ignorant to the curious, and slightly intimidating look Sasuke was giving his daughter, 'I think there's a joke somewhere in there. Maybe not.'

'Hmm... That girl's too old, and I don't think Naruto would've had a child before the war,' Sasuke thought with narrowed eyes, 'And her presence feels strange. As if she's there and yet she's not. Just like...'

'She's staring at me? Why's she staring at me?! Did I do something wrong?!' Crescent thought with wide eyes, panicking ever so slightly, 'What should I do?! Dad, help me!'

Fortunately for the young whirlpool rose (rose whirlpool, if you wanna get technical), her father unknowingly did just as she asked.

"Can't I visit my old home from time to time?" He asked, earning a blank look from the last Uchiha, before pouting at her, "Fine, be that way. I wanted to introduce Crescent to her godmother, that's you, by the way, and show my old village to her and my wife. Though, me missing Leaf was also a reason."

"...I'm a godmother?" Sasuke muttered to herself, before realizing something, "Wait, you're married? Why wasn't I invited to the wedding?" She asked with an eyebrow raised, glancing momentarily at the mother-daughter duo, making them shift in their places, before looking back at the blond.

"Would you've attended?" Naruto asked with a challenging look. When he received no answer, he nodded triumphantly before speaking again, "Thought so. Anyway, meet wife and daughter."

"H-Hello, 'm Crescent. 's nice to meet you," The littlest redhead said meekly, averting eye contact with the ravenette.

"It's, uh, nice to meet you. My name's Ruby," Ruby spoke, bowing her head slightly towards the raven haired woman. "Naruto's talked about you before."

"...Strange names," Sasuke muttered, with the other occupants of the field hearing her, making the three puff their cheeks, "Though I could see the chemistry. But I digress. As you already know my name, I won't introduce myself anymore. Though I guess it's nice to meet you also."

An awkward air suddenly encompassed them all, making the two redhead soft on their place. Naruto, tired of the silence, decided to break it himself.

"Sooo... What do you guys wanna do?" He asked his family (Sasuke included. Her being his stoic and annoying sister), left arm draped on Ruby's shoulders.

Ruby just shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, though not strong enough to knock the draped arm off. "I dunno," she said.

"Mm..," Crescent mumbled, tugging at Naruto arm, catching the attention of everyone present. She then pulled him down to her, his head leveled with hers, before whispering to his ears, "'m hungry."

Naruto blinked before shooting the girl a grin, "An early lunch it is, then."

Beacon Academy...Team RWBY's Room...

Blake Belladonna, Weiss Schnee and Yang Xiao Long. The three quarters of Team RWBY. Part of an up and coming group of Huntswomen, all in a team blessed by a god, three (four if you're counting their currently absent leader, Ruby Rose) different prodigies in their respective arts. And finally, three busy people.

Well, two busy ones

The other?

"Ugh..," Yang groaned from her spot on one of the sofas, "I'm bored~"

Blake, who's currently sitting on the other sofa reading a book, quirked an eyebrow at the blonde, but didn't do anything else, while Weiss, who's scribbling at something at the coffee table, also ignored her.

That didn't stop Yang from, well, bitching, though, "Uuuughh, so booored~!"

The sound of a pen dancing across a piece of paper answered her, prompting her to pout, before grinning ever so lightly, "Hey Weiss."

The aforementioned heiress continued on with her paperwork, ignoring her yellow-themed teammate. Though, if one were to look closely, they would see the almost invisible furrowing of her elegant brows.

"Hey Weiss."

Scribble Scribble*

"Hey Weiss."

Scribble Scribble*

"Hey Wei-"

Scribble Scrib-SNAP*

"WHAT?!"

"...Slurp slurp skeet skeet."

And just like a movie director turning a book series into a live action movie, Weiss broke character, "YOU FUCKIN' ATTENTION WHORE!"

And thus began the chase between the princess and the dragonness, leaving a black cat in disguise to her thoughts, 'I know I'm supposed to do something today, but I can't seem to remember what. I just hope it isn't too important.'

The Hidden Leaf Village... Ichiraku Ramen... Crescent's Thoughts of sorts...

Eyes wide as plates, Crescent Rose Uzumaki couldn't help but to simply marvel at the sheer multitude of difference between where she lived, and where her father used to live in.

Instead of pollution-inducing vehicles and absurdly advanced technology (not that she has any say in that, what with her being the peak of technology herself) were carts and tall trees. Though, those weren't the only differences.

Not that it's a problem, was her thought. Or, at the very least, something amounting to that-The thought, that is. It was, after all, quite refreshing.

And then, she briefly remembered; her dad's going to introduce her to some of his friends today.

"Well, those who aren't busy, anyway."

That's what he said, at least.

Oh dear Maker-Dad (and Mom, technically)-she's going to have to talk to strangers. Not that she has anything against them, oh no. It's just that she inherited her mother's awkwardness (adorkableness, as Aunt Yang would say) and she's really not that good with new people. Or crowds, actually.

Though maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she's thinking. It's not like something's gonna happen, right?

...Right?

Hopefully so, 'cause she's kinda enjoying eating Ramen with her family, godmother included.

Even though she's kinda scary.

o-o-o-o

"I'm not scary," Sasuke suddenly said, chopsticks midway towards her mouth. Her sudden yet quiet declaration made her companions look at her, with her looking right back.

"...Yes you are," Naruto argued with a mouth full of ramen noodles, "That's why you're still single."

That earned him a smack to the legs from Ruby, who's sitting at his right, "Ru~de! That's rude! And don't speak with your mouth full!" Though what she said was somewhat hypocritical, what with her own mouth also filled with noodles, with a few strands hanging from her mouth.

"Hypocrite," Naruto muttered with pouting lips. He turned to face her, witnessing her cheeky smile, before spotting the dangling strings of carbohydrates, and grinned cheekily right back at her.

Ruby, wary of her husband's grin, suddenly felt her face flush as Naruto slurped the dangling noodles and promptly made his way to her lips and kissed her. Now, don't get her wrong, she's used to affectionate gestures such as hugging, cuddling, kissing-making out, even! It's just that they're currently in public-with an audience, no less! An audience that has their daughter in it! And as such, the red dusting her cheeks spread down to her neck, and squirmed in her chair, though she made no move stop the kiss whatsoever.

"Mom! Dad! Stop that!" Said an embarrassed Crescent, temporarily forgetting the fact that her godmother seemingly read her mind, which would cement her thoughts once she remembers when her embarrassment fades. Her godmother really is scary.

"...I'm not scary," Sasuke muttered once more, seemingly ignorant to her friend practically making out with his wife (not that she has anything to say in that matter. They were, after all, married), and if one were to look very closely, they would see a pout formed on her face. She then turned to her goddaughter, and stared right at Crescent's eyes, but said nary a word.

And so was the scene one Ayame Ichiraku stumbled upon when she returned to their table to check up them; a furiously blushing Crescent, a sulking (read: pouting) Sasuke, and Ruby and Naruto kissing each other without a care about their audience.

"...Food's getting cold," Crescent grumbled out, cheeks still aflame with embarrassment. Realizing that her parents are still at it, she sighed and began eating once more, 'This is so embarrassing.'

A/N: So yeah, ninth chapter done.

Now, regarding this story, and no, this isn't where I'll say I'm gonna drop it, no. This is just about minimum word count per chapter, the epilogue of the story, update frequency, the story I promised to write next, and so on and so forth

1.) Now, minimum word power chapter is now gonna be one thousand and five hundred. No other reason than it becomes somewhat forced when I try to exceed that.

2.) The ending of this story; Honestly, I could end this next chapter, ya know? Just one MASSIVE timeskip. I'm still mulling it over

3.) At the quickest, I'll be able to update once a month, while once every three months at the latest. Nothing different.

4.) So yeah, you all know that I promised a story featuring Naruto and Ophis, right? A NarutoXDxD fic? Truth be told, I've never even saw even one episode of HS DxD, and I forgot why when I made that promise, til I remembered it a couple of weeks back. I detested that anime series, no offense to those who watch it and to those who I promised a story to. Know why I detest it? Well, it's about a spineless, useless, hopeless pervert whose dream is to have a harem. Can you get anymore pathetic than that? No, you can't.

Now, as to how I came to promise such a thing in the first place. Look up 'A Simple Teenage Shop Owner', you'll aspire to write one such story too. I'm not saying I won't write that story, just that you'll have to wait your a while.

I'm expecting shit to be thrown my way over what I said, so I'm gonna say it now; Give It! Give it to me! Bathe me in your hate! In your loathing! Make me feel alive! Unfufufufu!

So with that outta the way, leave a review after reading this chapter if you liked it, while I...reevaluate my life.

Nyees~!
