This chapter... it happened on a whim. Things connect, and well, wouldn't you like to know?

After reviewing some of the plot, I have decided to edit the summary for the story.

Originally, this chapter was supposed to be out way earlier, probably at the beginning of June. But then I had some things come up and well, this is happening now guys, the actual next update! I've finally (hopefully) written down the entire timeline of this fic! So hopefully if I don't get lazy (I do that a lot) this can be a completed story!

Also, I'm taking a bit of liberties with the Naruto timeline since Kishimoto really never adjusted it that well.

I do not own One Piece nor Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, please support the official releases of these titles.

Great, it's gonna be one of those days. He thought, putting his chin along the desk in front of him. The desk was stacked with paperwork, something that he thought he'd never be able to do again. His life had to change that one day... and well, it was starting to become a routine for him to deal with.

"Uh... Boss? Are you o-okay over there?"

"Well," The man started, "I already dropped my breakfast because of Meso's ramblings of marines checking in again, I have stacks of paperwork that I could of swore I did just yesterday and the fact that Kurama hasn't come back early like he usually does... well, you can't say that I'm having the best of days right about now." Out of the corner of his eye he could spot the assistant shuffling around nervously.

"O-Oh! Well the men must have gotten the papers confused with the Elder's confirmations!" She stumbled right over, nervously adjusting her glasses, "Let me just fix this right up, Hokage-sama-!"

His posture began to sulk, "I keep telling you guys, I don't need the honorific's if we're not in the same place. Naruto is just fine, Fera! I can't believe you guys keep calling me stuff like that..." Naruto tapped his bandaged finger's along the table, "Can't believe I got stuck with this job anyway..."

Fera blushed, gathering up the papers scattered along the large desk, "Well, Naruto-sama, you are one of the strongest on the island. Your power shouldn't be put off on the side. You are required to stay on the island while you have it open with these attractions."

"Your economy was poor, trade would have worsen since the nearest islands would have been days away and the Elder is so stubborn!" Naruto huffed, "I swear, every time I file to leave for awhile something bad happens here!" He rested a hand underneath his chin.

"N-Naruto-sama... you don't need to fear being around here any longer, I can simply request for your vacation up front."

Naruto waved his hand, shaking his head, "Nah... I guess you can say I got a little bit riled up from earlier. Don't get me wrong, I hate to be cooped up when my family could be who knows where right about now. I had a very important job as the shinobi who arrived with me have said... but it's been five years since I touched the seas around here! That's it! I'll talk to him when the Silver Bell game begins!"

"Boss!" The door to his small office slammed open, "Kurama has just arrived!"

"I could have told him that myself, thank you very much." With a quick flick of his tail, the chakra beast walked in. The small nine-tailed fox glanced at Fera, "And you, go do whatever you need to do. Respect your privacy." Fera clutched the papers to her chest, fleeing and shutting the door without another word.

"Kurama..." Naruto sighed, "Can't you be nicer to these guys?'

Kurama sniffed, "Well, I would be nicer if she understood what privacy means. All of these former shinobi are different... but then again, I guess you can say we've changed too."

"There's the realistic fox I've come to know! Anyway, so what took you so long?"

"Marines, they seem to get a bit too greedy when invited to the island. It's rare that those ships even come along since you've managed to piss them off so many times."

Naruto stuck his nose up, "Well, they should learn not to mess with my friends. The people on the ship we were on are our friends. The people we've met here are our friends... well, most of the people here." He flashed a grin, "The Elder still doesn't like me. He didn't like the fact that I changed things... he should have known that if he made me in charge of the island I would make changes. The shinobi around here adore me because of the Third Shift practically knew who I was. Rumors spread, my reputation exceeds me just like the one I made with the marines."

Kurama barked a laugh, jumping up and planting himself on the cleaned off desk, "The way you scared them before, priceless." The fox paused in his laughter, "How has the research been going?"

"Still nothing good..." Naruto's attention had been diverted to a pen for which he tapped along the desk, "The stupid whirlpool hasn't popped up around here since we got here. The whole change caused by it is still divided into two effects, chakra loss and appearance change and there's no pattern for who gets what. There have only been three Shifts and really, I don't think that this world is another dimension as much as I'm hoping."

"Why would you think that?"

"Kurama, it's been ten years." Naruto's pen began to chip the bark of the desk, "Sasuke would have tracked down one of our chakra's by now. He's a wizard with his Rinnegan and dimensional travel. Unless this dimension isn't in his senses I would think that his majesty would have found us and popped out of nowhere and said hello."

"...what if the whirlpool is active in other places?" Naruto paused his tapping, raising an eyebrow, "Just a theory."

"Then other shinobi would have been dragged in and forced to do work for other forces. We have made estimations of how many shinobi have been released by the three Shifts and so far, the Elder and I have a precise calculation. About three hundred shinobi have been released into this world. About one-hundred of the shinobi we have accounted for working with us to further this island's progress, fifty have been lost to the marines and the rest have been identified to associate with pirates and revolutionaries. The Third Shift is hanging out here, the Second Shift is out with just about anyone and the First Shift is roaming around wonder what to do with their lives."

Kurama planted a paw underneath his chin, curling up lazily on the desk, "What if... any Uzumaki were dragged in besides yourself?"

Naruto started to tap his pen again, "It would be very hard to believe. Just like you could say a Uchiha or a Hyuuga washed up around here. It's highly unlikely and pretty much rare for the clan's to send their people over seas. Uzushiogakure may have done that for my mom... but that was around in the time between the Second and Third Great Shinobi Wars. The Elder only complains about the end of the Third Great Shinobi War, never the beginning of it. So, we can estimate the First Shift happened at the end of the Third Great Shinobi War. We have no idea when the second happened and the Third happened when we went to talk with the Mizukage."

"Had your father mentioned any family members in his will?"

"No! Kurama, what's with your questions? Their getting really weird!"

"I met a shinobi on a pirate's ship that had both chakra's of a Namikaze and an Uzumaki. I sensed it right away because I've been around you longer than anyone else since we've arrived here. I think that your son somehow got through the Shift."

"What?! Ah, fuck!" Naruto growled, clutching his knee as he stood up straight, "Boruto's here?! How?! I swear I would have sensed him on the ship when we left!"

Kurama growled, "I don't know! He called me what you used to call me when you introduced me to your kids! He was trying to act nonchalant but I could tell he was tense! He didn't say anything to me and I didn't say anything to him! Activate your senjutsu if you don't believe me!"

"I have complete faith in my partner, idiot fox! But to make sure your not sensing crap..." Naruto closed his eyes, letting out a deep breath, "...alright, I recognize his chakra from anywhere. He's a beacon walking around on the island with a devil fruit user. But seriously, what your telling me is that he's joined a pirate crew? That idiot... is he being forced?"

Kurama put a tail on Naruto's shoulder, "Your son isn't that weak to be pulled that easy. Hell, he's shown me he's been there of free will. His captain is a bit of a idiot like someone in this room but he's changed."

"...appearance or chakra loss?"

"You can tell, can't you?"

Naruto put his head into his hands, settling himself back into his chair, "Fuck, Kurama... what you said might be true. The Shift could be open up wherever it wants to open if Boruto's popped up out of nowhere! Sasuke must have went out to find me and dragged him with... then maybe Sasuke would have been taken too? No, I would think that he'd stay with Boruto." His cerulean colored eyes glanced at the orange fox, "Tell me is new name... and tell me about his crew."

The large island decorated in attractions... really held up to it. Everywhere Sanji looked he'd always spot some people either laying out and about in lounge chairs or playing different attractions with smiling faces. It felt a little bit off just to see some street performers surrounded by a crowd that would throw up Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu and amaze the crowd. Please, his master could do much better than those pathetic fireballs... after all, Uncle Sasuke had as much chakra as his dad.

Sanji was sitting on a bench deciding that some of the games were rigged... or at least, looked to be rigged. Seeing Luffy, Usopp and Chopper staring down a little water squirting range with water guns and Usopp actually missing it sounded a bit suspicious when the man asked them if they would like to play again. Of course, Chopper was very determined to get the little cupcake plush toy and Usopp and Luffy decided to help Chopper's chances of winning the toy. It was meant for six people but the chef had decided he was not going to waste his money on a water gun game, he rather aim for something of his liking.

"Come on Usopp, you can do it!" Luffy and Chopper chanted, throwing their fists into the air. The requirement for the plush toy was three hits and the idiot trio only got about two before losing the game. They happened to get stuck with a bunch of small plastic army toys (the toys were carved out of wood with large painted smiles and red rosy cheeks, small camouflage hats and camouflage outfits with black colored boots, they even had painted ammo along their chests and black dots as eyes) and Sanji decided that the toys were going to be dunked into the sea, whether or not Usopp has something else in mind for them. The smiles were beginning to become a little creepy for his liking.

The vendor of the water game gave another pathetic smile once Usopp's water gun missed the target by a mile. "Sorry about that, here's another prize for your troubles. If you like, you can always try again." Luffy snatched the little toy soldier, dropping it into the ever-growing pile of toys.

"Again." All three muttered, dropping down a few coins. The man's smile grew a little bit wider and Sanji sighed as the vendor started up the game again.

All in all, the island was... special. With all the attractions littering around with prizes for those who'd dare to win and the rumored "parties" at night time, it sounded more of a carnival instead of a relaxation island. The chef laid his hand underneath his chin, letting smoke plume from his mouth. Tonight was going to be interesting is Kirzu really did go through with dragging him to let off fireworks while using his chakra. That would... change some things. Like showing his nakama that they had a shinobi with them all along. Maybe he'd even meet his dad too. It all depended on whether or not this "boss" believed a Hyuuga was on the island.

Hopefully, the guy would believe it and maybe he'd see the missing piece of his family once again.
