Yamora: Hello dear. I squealed when I saw your name on my phone (all my ff stuff runs through my email to my cellular device). We'll get back to the God ordeal, we wont see Anaru for a bit, I really hope you enjoy Boruto like I did, I made the mistake of taking my parents who did not care but cared enough to let me flail about in public. You can always get cookies my dear! So I hope you enjoyed this.

So we are nearing the end, I only planned 25 chapters (and it rolled over to 26). I have loved every bit of this story and have fried my brain hoping you love it as much as I. Please stick with me to the end!

Ereshkigal

Every movement was excruciating. Her burns were taking too long to heal. She knew Sasuke could see she was in pain, but ignored his pained looks.

He was right, she was a fool. She should have not ventured to the nether without another to watch her back. Instead, she stupidly went into the situation head first, getting burned in the end.

Ranginui had anticipated her move, sending a dazed Anaru to her. In her haste to defend against her son, she had not seen the fire burst from her other son's palm. The old Maori God laughed in her face. He then pointed to the heads of the elders, telling her she would end like them if she did not leave immediately.

She had failed her mission to retrieve at least one son. She felt worse that she had to leave Ezraeil behind. She knew she may not come back and all she could do is hope he understood. But Sasuke did not.

Sasuke belittled her at her most vulnerable, leaving nothing unscathed. She rather lick at her wounds than have a human attack her with such language. And he didn't stop at calling her an idiot; he insulted her parenting skills when he mentioned her son. But she deserved it.

Every word, letter, and phrase stung more than a bee's sting, but it was all taken with a heavy heart. But she had heard every word, how could she not? He practically screamed his heartfelt rant in her face.

Even as he threw a tantrum to rival that of a spoiled child, she felt the only emotion ever equated with her sons.

A slow tingle in her chest that spread quickly through her blood stream.

The fire burned much slower than when they made love, yet much more intimate. The more she stared at the human, the more her chest filled.

He was just the epitome of grace in his sleep.

Ezraeil cut her musing with his insistent eyes, asking her what was going on.

"I haven't a clue, angel." Her soft murmur did nothing to alleviate her child's stress. Violet clashed with emerald, neither willing to back down.

Sasuke's languid movement caught her attention. He strode away from them, holding a device to his ear. He spoke in a rapid-fire demeanor but too soft for her to hear. Her lover rejoined them on the grass once he finished his call. Not a word was spoken, letting the wind blow through their bodies and the sun climbed higher into the clouded sky.

Her mind reached out only to find she could sense nothing. His thoughts were closed off to her. She had not known he could barricade such a thing. Her son fidgeted once again, conspicuously glowering at his mother.

"I will tell you when I know more."

'But you know something.'

Unlike Sasuke at the moment, she could always see what rang out in her sons mind.

"I do not, I assure you."

'You are lying to me, Eima.'

"You have no proof, be still."

'Where are brother and the flea?'

Sakura's heart stopped. Her stomach did multiple flips. What could she say to that? That they were both causing her heartache and retched pain alongside one of the most powerful entities known to their kind? That they might have perished in their measly attempts on the universes?

"How do you understand him?"

Looking to his obsidian slits, it took a moment to register he spoke at all.

"My telepathy reaches more than just you."

"He looks like you. You know that?"

Ezraeil sneered at Sasuke, growling. 'He has something to do with it.'

"You know not what you speak of." The rosette barked back. Her son stood his ground. Sakura sighed, not caring to have another contest with her offspring.

"Is he okay?" The Uchiha casted fatigued scans to the small God. Even a human was not dumb enough to get crossed with even the tiniest of deity.

"He is fine, just frightened. He means you now harm." Sakura ran lime nails through the hold of his ponytail, freeing black locks. Ezraeil's wings expanded, temper spiking.

"Don't raise your wings to me. It is not beneath me to clip them off."

'Please try it. I'd love to see you try.' Despite his words, the silk-like feathers retreated. The small boy sat back into his mother's lap with a sigh escaping his nose. The eldest Goddess continued fixing his soft strands.

"Wait right here. I have an idea." Sasuke dashed away.

'So he has nothing to do with the man?'

"I thought you were smart enough to know no human can come close to being in cahoots with that abominable God."

'Just... I don't know. There is something about your human mother. It reminds me of Uncle Poseidon.'

"That would be his biological nephew, son."

Indigo eyes went wide, blinking profusely to analyze the newfound information.

'Does that mean he can-?'

"I know not, my child. He shows no signs of celestial power."

'Oh.'

Sasuke returned with some form of colorful stick. He handing it to her son, who observed questioningly.

"Tell him it is a treat."

"Tell him yourself."

"Pray tell how I would do that, infuriating idiot?"

The sentence filled his mind, pronouncing each word carefully in Hebrew.

"It's a treat?" Sasuke tried, failing so miserably at conveying the language.

'Is he asking me a question? What is this?'

The Goddess laughed, tipping her pink head back at the action. "Take it, son. It's some sort of earth food."

"What is so funny?" Her human seemed perturbed, sulking toward the ground. Ezraeil still grimaced at the food, giving it a tentative lick. Strawberry met his touch along with a shivering cold. He craved more but wanted less of the cold fruit. The true adolescent in him picked up on the sugary taste, forcing him to give another taste. Then another. And one more.

Sasuke couldn't issue his warning fast enough to be translated when the boy screeched, holding his head in agony.

'Why would this be considered good to you humans?' He was seething, ready to tear apart the other male.

"It's called a brain freeze. I wanted to warn him that happens if you eat something cold too fast. Sorry."

Sakura laughed again, relaying the message.

Before she could see him, she felt Zeus returning to the soccer field, other Gods in tow.

"Sasuke, my love. Can you take him and go far from here?"

Among the group, she felt the one armed nightmare that was the boy's father.

"Um. Sure. I bet he'll get a kick out of video games."

"I know not what those are, but if it holds his attention for longer than a minute, I'd be grateful."

"Sure thing. Er, can you ask him to follow me? I have horrible Hebrew apparently."

Ezraeil nodded to his mother, reaching for the dark haired man's hand.

"Do not return till I call for you."

"Yes ma'am."

Sakura kissed her son repeatedly before letting the two walk away.

The headache that was to derive from this meeting already reared its ugly hide.

She was quick to rein back her scattered soul, refusing to let the others see her in such a fragile state. The last time all Gods gathered she had been the one to lead them. Like shit they'd see her cry. She wasted no time briefing them.

"Ranginui lives, but you don't need me to inform you. Surely you've felt the Earth's tears." There had to over a thousand Gods and Goddess in attendance. She lifted her arm for all who could to see. "He sends his love."

The field erupted in protests. "We cannot go against him and your sons!" One shouted. "Hades could take on Zeus alone!" Another quipped. "We do not stand a chance to the three!" More wailed.

Ereshkigal sighed, eyes rolling as she stumbled to the middle of the forming riot.

"But... We have weapons not even he can control." Poseidon came to her aide, supporting her weight effortlessly.

"No. You are not using them." Izanagi bellowed, earning many shouts of agreement.

"That is perfectly fine by me. I do not live on this pathetic planet." Ereshkigal flipped her long flames, appearing disinterested in all who gathered. "I care not if the Maori tear apart the cosmos."

"How could you say that?" Poseidon released his hold on her, leaving her to fall. But she stayed standing. She went as far as to shrug him off like he hadn't uttered a thing. "You say you care not if my nephew were to die?"

"I care not of these pitiful humans. Your nephew is welcomed in the nether."

A rosy glare was sent her way. Izanami tilted her head, red locks like cascading waterfalls down her shoulder. "Sasuke? What part does he play?"

The Mesopotamian God laughed, black orbs bordering psychotic hypnosis. "That is none of your business, Empress. But if you must know, I was his first, and under all circumstances, will be his last." A sick smile raised the corners of full peach lips, head falling heavily to the right.

Poseidon was by her side once more, red eyes spinning with black commas. "Lay a hand on him again. That will be the end of you, Eresh."

Her outlandish behavior evaporated as she waved a hand in his face. "I meant no harm. I am not that stupid to hurt what I love. You included."

Madara relaxed, red fading back to blurred black.

"But... That does not mean I wish to leave him here while you buffoons figure out if this space rock means something to you."

God stepped forward, honey brown eyes regarding all. "I care for this world for a loathsome fool to ruin it. Douth thy have a plan, Ereshkigal?"

"As if you are speaking to a child..." Sakura muttered knitting pink eyebrows. "But, aye, I always am one step ahead."

"If the lass says so, I see neigh harm in hearin' her out." Odin smiled as he scratched at his neck. A habit he had when anxiety crept too high.

"Aye. I'm always agreein' when Odin gives the 'okay'." Thor didn't look a bit frazzled to the news, having been quiet to this point.

"And sadly, I choose you as the person I'd die with..." Zeus gave from behind a book of women's anatomy.

"And where he goes, I am always there." Hera smiled, a dango stick hanging from her teeth. It had been some time since the Goddesses had seen one another, but Hera looked the same; crazy. Behind her lilac eyes and wild matching hair lay a hidden psychopath not even Ereshkigal would wake.

"It is not up to you lot." Bas slurred. "It's up to the Jinchūriki. And ultimately... up to Emperor and Empress hard ass if they want their son fighting that war."

"Must thou be so annoying?" God barked.

"Oh also, there's this thing call the Peace Core of the world or something." Zeus quipped not missing a beat.

"Leave the Jinchūriki to me!" Thor exclaimed. Whenever the tailed beasts were involved, he jumped on the topic.

"And I shall sway the heads of this soil obscured liquid sphere." She seemed ever so reluctant.

"You? Lassie, I mean to not offend ye, but ye hold the social skills of a rock. 'N I am twen'y-presen' sure a rock could hold bet'er." Thor laughed.

"Look here, ye Viking, just worry about you. Else I'll be tramplin' on ye." Sakura mimicked his accent, earning a laugh from Hera. "Moreover, I will not be the one speaking."

For Ereshkigal of the Underworld, the only living Mesopotamian God today, eldest Goddess to ever exist, always had a plan. It was just the matter of charming a lowly human to do most of her dirty work.

Sasuke

Thank Kami for Google Translate. Sure it never translated word for word, but it got his point across. He still did not read minds but with his trusty app he could get Ezraeil to understand.

And who knew a God of the Underworld could kick this much Zombie ass? He and Naruto did not.

Naruto's had been the place he could take a non Japanese-speaking child to without earning a million questions. He only had one to answer: 'Who the hell is the kid?'

And yes, that is how Naruto asked, terrible grammar and all.

Seeing no point to lie, Sasuke told Naruto the full story, earning a round of hysterical behavior. The idiot laughed so hard, tears streamed down his tan, whiskered face.

"Dude. He beat my high score..."

"A monkey could beat your high score."

"Oi! Stop being a teme, Teme. This kid is awesome."

The kid snapped a look of horror to the two older men. While the two were harassing each other, a gaggle of flesh eating monsters had eaten Ezraeil.

Sasuke could not read minds, but saw the confusion on the young kid's face.

"Game over the zombies ate you. You can restart." The phone rang in a choppy voice. The Boy-God frowned. "Do you want another snack?" His face lit up, head bobbing furiously.

"Naruto, do you have any ice cream or something sweet?"

"Why? Finally regain all your taste buds?"

"I guess I'll look for myself." Sasuke rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen. He found Naruto's stash of horrendously disgusting coffee flavored ice cream. That was just an insult to coffee everywhere.

He returned with two bowls, one for Naruto who would complain if he didn't get any, and the other for the already hyper God bouncing in his seat. Something told Sasuke pumping children with sugar was a terrible idea, but he never really realized it would have an effect on a deity child.

"What have you been giving him?"

"Chocolate... a lollipop... some lifesavers... six popsicles... and this ice cream... and maybe two cans of coke?"

"Dude... You're gonna break Sakura's kid."

Ezraeil didn't bother with the spoon his temporary guardian gifted him; he just carefully smashed his face into the bowl.

"I don't want to see what happens when he crashes." Naruto snickered.

The door opened for Hinata as she hurried inside the apartment. She looked frazzled.

"Hello dear, it is storming. Came out of nowhere. Oh! Hello Sasuke-San." Hinata's pale lavender gaze landed on the half animal half boy face deep in ice cream. "Um?"

"That is Ezraeil. Sasuke is babysitting." Naruto's humor did not fade with the presence of his fiancée. "Tell her what you fed him, Teme?"

"Shut up, Dope. How am I supposed to know? You eat sweets like ramen." Sasuke's eye twitched.

"Because I am invincible!"

Ezraeil pulled from the ice cream, or rather what was left, to regard Sasuke with a green hue on his face. Hinata was quicker than the males, leading the boy to a bathroom.

"Sakura's gonna kill me."

"And why shall I do such a thing?"

Both boys jumped from the couch Sakura was currently occupying.

"Where the heck did you come from?" Naruto screamed, pointing a finger at the amused Goddess.

"I materialize where I please. Hello to you too, Naruto."

"Nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Sasuke was flailing an arm, beating on his chest to get air back into it.

"Both of you are spaztic." Sakura's hand lit green as she pushed air back into her lover.

"How did you-? What-? Are you a-?" The blond's words seemed to match his shocked face.

"Sasuke has alerted me you know of who I am." Sakura waved him off like a fly.

"One day I'm just going to keel over and it'll be your fault." Sasuke wheezed.

"Then you'd be in my word without speech, how bad would that be?"

"Grand..."

"True, I would never hear your sweet moans-."

"Shut up!" Naruto covered his ears. "I don't wanna hear it. You two are nauseating. Lalalalala."

"Very well, were is Ezraeil?"

"Here, hello Sakura-Chan." Hinata beamed, a sick Ezraeil clinging to her.

"What is wrong with my-?"

"Brother? Not a clue." Sasuke interrupted.

"Just that Sasuke pumped him so full of sugar that your brother might be sick for days."

'You cannot tell Hinata you have a kid. Too much explaining.' Sasuke thought loudly, face stuck on a permanent fake smile.

"You'll explain later. We have things to do. Thank you for your hospitality, Hinata-San." Sakura bowed, making the entire situation more awkward than need be. But of course the soon to be Uzumaki bowed back, Hyūga peeking through.

"Anytime, Sakura-Chan! Feel better Ezraeil. And don't be so careless Sasuke-San."

"Yes, ma'am."
