All of them sat in the living room where there were long chabudai and they sat on zabutons around that. Itachi was on the head table. Clock-wise, there were Itachi, Menma, Naruto and Sasuke, Indra and Asura (facing Itachi), then Narutoru and Sasukeru. There was a heavy silence in the room. All eyes were on Indra and Asura. But, their eyes were on Menma before they reached this room. Menma was a bit bewildered to be stared at.

Naruto looked at the Otsutsuki brothers in confusion, "Why do you two keep staring at Menma?"

"It's our first time to face to face with a child born out of our reincarnations." Asura smiled, "Of course, I remember Hiko because Naruto and Hashirama were there when he was born. But, I didn't meet him like I'm now meet Menma here."

Naruto asked, "Why? Is it weird because he was born of two guys?"

Otsutsuki's brothers looked at Naruto. They said in harmony, "No. We were born of two men as well." Asura added, "So, it's not because of that."

Naruto was shocked beyond words, "Say what!!!"

"Our mother was a man," Indra confirmed. "Why do you think people had the idea to make male pregnancies possible during the war if it never happened before? Our birth father was the inspiration. He was the first case of male pregnancy."

Naruto was too curious, "Why Rikudou Sennin didn't marry a woman? Was it because he was too old at that time? No women want to marry him?"

"It was the opposite, actually. Our father married two princesses before, but both of them passed away after miscarriages," replied Asura.

Indra elaborated that Hagoromo tried to conceive a child with women but none of them could carry Hagoromo's DNA to full term. After his second marriage, Hagoromo realized the woman would die because Kaguya's DNA was too strong for humans. Hagoromo married his follower's son, Fuyuki. The healthiest and the strongest of Futami's children. Because Fuyuki was conceived after Hagoromo taught his first follower, Futami, about ninshuu, he could bear Indra and Asura but died not long after Asura was born. Again, Kaguya's DNA was too strong for humans.

"I think I know that Futami guys," Naruto remembered what Rikudou Sennin showed them about the past, "Wasn't he the one who tried to rob Rikudou Sennin?"

Asura nodded and chuckled, "Ah, yes. That's our grandfather."

"But, he called both of you with 'Indra-sama' and 'Asura-sama'," Naruto pointed out.

"He called us that only in public. If it's family only, be call us by our name," said Indra. "We were raised by our father and grandfather."

"So, you two were raised without your birth father?" Narutoru asked in sympathy. "Did you two remember him?"

Asura smiled sadly, "No. I was only two months old when he died. My brother was 3 years old."

There was a heavy silence in the room. Asura's sadness was felt by his reincarnations. Therefore, the two Narutos were silent in thoughtfulness. Naruto was raised without a parent, he understands Asura better in that part. Narutoru has better childhood but his sympathy for them was real.

To break the ice and change the topic, Itachi offered as the host to the Otsutsuki brothers, "Would you like to drink tea?"

Indra declined, "No, it's fine. We may look like a human but we are just a chakra manifestation."

"Was that the Jutsu you made us perform?" Sasuke asked.

"Yes. It's a creation Jutsu. Similar to the jutsu our father while creating bijuu."

Naruto was confused, "What do you mean?"

Indra explained, "Like I mentioned when we appeared in front of you the first time, we can talk to you guys because there are two reincarnations of me or Asura's synchronize their chakras."

Naruto nodded, "I remember."

"The hand seals which I showed you earlier, it's for a jutsu to make a chakra manifestation has the ability to move and talk with a body without the need for all of you to do synchronize chakra each time. Originally, Asura and I are your chakra manifestation."

"I don't follow," Narutoru admitted honestly.

Asura smiled, "Do you know bijuus?"

Narutoru nodded.

"The 9 bijuus are the chakra manifestation of Juubi. Our father splits its chakra into 9 parts and he created the bijuus for each part. All the bijuus can talk and move with a solid body. So, simply, because we are your chakra manifestations, we are in a way are like your bijuu," Asura elaborated.

Both Narutos blinked and for a second they think it over before a light understanding shone in their blue eyes. "Ah! I get it now!" They exclaimed at the same time. Asura smiled in approval.

"Yet, unlike bijuu, we can't perform any jutsu or have our own chakra. That would need Rinnegan to do that and you two don't have it," he meant Naruto and Narutoru. "It may change our appearance as well. Susanoo is the other example of this jutsu. I created this jutsu so Susanoo can move freely despite I have no Rinnegan at that time. This jutsu mimicked my father's creating jutsu," Indra added.

Sasukeru raised an eyebrow, "Susanoo can't talk nor move on his own." Itachi nodded in agreement.

Sasuke and Naruto said together in unison, "Yes. He can."

The younger Sasuke blinked, "What?"

"Oh, you don't know?" Naruto asked Sasukeru. He asked again, "It didn't written in the scroll?"

"No."

"Nidaime was never there to see Susanoo talk to us," Sasuke just realized. Naruto remembered, "Ah, it's true. He wasn't with us when we did Bijuu hunting at that time and he was the one who write the scroll."

Itachi asked, "All Susanoo can talk and move?"

Indra replied, "Only my father's Susanoo and mine. Since all my reincarnations inherit my chakra along with my soul, hence Sasuke's Susanoo can talk as well. His Susanoo is mine. I used the Creation jutsu with hand seal that they did earlier to make him able move freely like bijuu but he is still bonded to my chakra."

"Talking about bijuu, three of nine bijuus has been missing," Itachi grabbed attention from them. "My brother and his husband has been missing. Naruto couldn't sensed their chakras," Itachi glanced at the said blond. "We suspected that Black Zetsu is the one who planned this." He asked Indra, "Sasuke mentioned that you can sense Black Zetsu, Indra-sama. Can you sense him now?"

Indra replied, "Indeed. I can sense him but it works better in shorter distances."

Menma summarized, "In other words, you can't sense him now?"

"I can tell he is not in Konoha," said Indra. Itachi and Menma fell into gloomy silence. Their hope was so high when Sasuke told them that Indra could sense Black Zetsu.

Itachi asked him again, "Indra-sama. May I ask if you know how four of them arrive in this era?" Indra was known as a genius beyond words. Itachi would like to get his insight into this situation. He speculated, "From Sasukeru's story before he ended up here, he doesn't have Rinnegan. Unlike Sasuke. You and your brother awakened Sasuke's Rinnegan when they went to the Founder Era. My brother, Sasukepi, didn't have Rinnegan the last time I saw him. However, Sasuke received a vision through Sasukeru's Rinnegan where he saw Narutoru got explode and Narutopi was stabbed. Am I right to assume Sasukepi awakened his Rinnegan?"

"He did," Indra confirmed. "Rinnegan is the highest level of Sharingan evolution. With Rinnegan, our father defeats our grandmother and created bijuus. Since he was the only one who has it at that time, the greatness of Rinnegan remained with him. Once, He came to meet Sasuke and Naruto from the land of the dead when both of them were on the verge of death. I can safely say that Rinnegan plays a role in this. Based on this incident and both Sasukes we're here, it's clear what Rinnegan's ability," he continued.

"It can share the vision or transfer the owner to somewhere he is connected to. In my father's case, he has shown himself to Sasuke and Naruto through the bond between parents and son because they are our reincarnations. That was the connection. While in Sasuke's vision case, it was through Rinnegans owned by the same person despite they lived in a different era or reality," Indra looked at his reincarnation and his brother. Even before Indra confirmed it, the Uchihas by blood knew it, "It can make the user travel through the space and time."

Both Naruto and Narutoru gasped.

"So, me and Sasuke, and both of them," he gestured his hand towards their younger variants, "are here because of Rinnegan? But, which one?"

"It was Sasukepi's," Indra replied.

"How do you know?" Narutoru asked.

Indra closed his eyes, "At that moment when he shared his vision through his Rinnegan, I saw all the visions of my reincarnation in the multiverse for a brief moment."

Sasuke cut in, "He was desperate to get help."

Indra added in solemnly as if confirmed that, "He wants someone to help him and Narutopi. It reached Sasuke's Rinnegan. The desire was so strong that it affected Sasukeru's Rinnegan who just awakened and sent his vision to Sasuke as well."

"That's why I can see both visions. I saw both Narutoru and Narutopi's dying. I felt twice grief feeling washed over me..." Sasuke muttered.

"Sasukepi's Rinnegan at that time was in sync with Sasuke's Rinnegan and Sasukeru's Rinnegan," Indra explained, "Two sets of Rinnegan from Sasukepi and Sasukeru, as my incarnations, can do wonders. In addition, Sasuke's Rinnegan has experience with time travel. All of their Rinnegans in sync create a synergy that is as powerful as my grandmother's space-time ninjutsu the moment they touch Naruto and Narutoru. Therefore, it pulled four of you to come here. Because Sasukepi's wished someone to help him."

[ NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOO ]

"AH!" Naruto exclaimed, "I heard Sasuke's voice calling me sadly before he appeared in front of me with a bleeding eye." He glanced at Sasukeru, "I think... it's your voice and Sasukepi's."

Narutoru glanced at Sasukeru who avoided his gaze. The blond frowned. Something didn't feel right. Narutoru felt he missed something from the information earlier. He looked at Sasuke and Indra Otsutsuki the asked Sasuke, "Hey, is that why you said Indra Otsutsuki knew this happens? He stayed within you and saw what happened to Sasukepi and Narutopi through Rinnegan?" Narutoru was curious.

Sasuke replied to him, "Not specifically due to Rinnegan. On our departure from Founder Era, Asura knew that Naruto carried twins despite Naruto and Shodaime never telling anyone. I assume Asura knew because he was their chakra's manifestation. Based on that, I think Indra knew what happens to Sasukepi." He stared at Indra.

Asura voiced his opinion, "That's right but not entirely. Since now, we are summoned by four of you, it means our knowledge of the situation is based on your knowledge. That's why I know about the twins. Because I was summoned by Hashirama and Naruto. Unless, my brother was summoned by Sasukepi, the one in this era, he wouldn't know."

Naruto frowned, "Is that mean you don't know what happens to Narutopi as well?"

Asura shook his head, "No, I'm sorry, I don't know." He added, "I don't have doujutsu. My brother may see something through Rinnegan's connection shared by his reincarnations but I don't have the privilege to do that."

"Sasuke saw him being stabbed, do you think he will survive?" Naruto asked worriedly.

"Slim chance, but, if he learns my healing technique like Menma said, I'm pretty sure he is still alive despite he was being stabbed," Asura reassured them.

The other gasped. Menma's voice was full of hope as he asked, "Really?"

"How come?" Sasukeru inquiry.

Indra explained, "Asura inherited our father's physical strength. He has long endurance far more than normal humans. And he has gifts in the medical field. As his incarnation, all Naruto has it as well. Like you two have my doujutsu," he looked at the two Sasukes. Then, he glanced at Narutoru, "Should anyone have the explosion like Narutoru had, they would die during the time he reached this era. And should anyone heal him other than Naruto, it will have less effectiveness."

Both Naruto gasped in horror. Narutoru gaped, "I-i-i almost died?"

Asura smiled sadly, "Yes. Luckily, Naruto healed you so you are saved."

Narutoru reached Naruto's hand, "Thank you for saving me!" He reached for Asura's hand as well, "Thank Rikudou, I'm your incarnation!!!" He was grateful.

"Don't mention it, twins!" Naruto smiled.

Itachi was smile lightly to see Narutoru's antics. Indra and his reincarnations didn't show any emotion at the sight. It was like they were used to it. Menma, on the other hand, widened his eyes when the words sunk in.

"Are you saying... My dad is maybe survived now, being stabbed and all, but he needs his variants to heal him for it to be effective?" Menma voiced out his worry.

Indra confirmed, "Yes."

Naruto exclaimed as he rose to his feet, "We have to find them!"

"We will, Naruto," Indra stated calmly, "But, first, please sit down."

"We don't have much time!" Naruto protested.

"It will be useless if we are wandering without aim and strategy," the older Otsutsuki reminded, "Now, sit."

Naruto pouted and complied. Sasuke asked Indra, "You said you saw the vision from all your reincarnations when the Rinnegans synchronized. Do you see where he was?"

"What I saw was only that moment from Sasukepi's Rinnegan. It was a typical basement kind of type. It could be anywhere."

Itachi needed to know, "Do you have a plan?"

"When will Yondaime Hokage be returned?" Indra asked back. Itachi told him that tonight maybe he will arrive. Indra elaborated his plan, "We will be searching for Black Zetsu after he arrives."

"Why?" Narutoru asked.

"Only Sasuke, Yondaime Hokage, and Sasukeru can do teleportation. It will be beneficial if we are searching separately. Especially, only I can detect his presence in close range. Once I know where he is, our priority is to get Narutopi back. It's predictable that Black Zetsu will latch himself on Sasuke like he did to Obito and Madara in Great War Ninja 4. It will take time to get him to release Sasukepi without us killing him as well." Both Sasukes we're scowled at the idea of killing their variants. Yet, Indra seemed didn't bother, "That's why the teleportation is important, it's for moving Naruto or Narutoru to Narutopi then get them to somewhere safe so they can heal him in time undisturbed."

Narutoru raised his hand and interjected, "I never did any healing."

Asura assured him, "I will guide you. We can practice during this time before Yondaime Hokage arrived."

Sasukeru frowned, "I never did teleportation."

"With Rinnegan, you can," Sasuke said to his younger variant. "As long as you have eyes on something replaceable, you can switch place with that one. I'll show you how to do it."

"If you need someone who can do teleportation, I will see which one of my men is available now," Itachi rose to his feet and stepped out, "I'll be back."

Indra nodded. He talked to the others, "In my opinion, Black Zetsu will not let Sasukepi go willingly. If we have to use coercion to separate them, it may lead to Sasukepi's death."

Menma was ashen as soon as he heard that. Sasuke asked in suspicion, "You mentioned that. What is the meaning of this?"

"I just warn you once. If Sasukepi's die, all of you will be unable to be back to your origins," stated Indra. "All of you were brought here because of synchronization Rinnegans of three Sasukes. It has a special link due to Rinnegan. You have to go back through the same synergy."

"We can create a jutsu as Nidaime did," Sasuke suggested.

"Nidaime Hokage mimicked our grandmother's space and time ninjutsu which was the reason you were brought back to the past. It was the same synergy."

"But, I could back to my time, not through the same jutsu," Menma voiced out his thought.

"Your uncle and your parents make the jutsu based on Nidaime Hokage's time-traveling scroll. It has the same basics as Nidaime's jutsu because they look into my grandson and Asura's great-granddaughter's scroll like he did, but your uncle is smart. He notices the bond between parents and children is exceptionally strong. Remember how our father met Sasuke and Naruto? It was due to the bond between parents and children. Therefore, he added in that jutsu to pull you back to this time."

Both Naruto and Narutoru turned pale. The older blond sputtered, "S-so, if he dies... We-we can't..."

"Yes," Indra started.

Naruto was a bit panicked, "Can't Sasuke's Rinnegan bring us back?"

"Sasuke only has one Rinnegan. His Rinnegan is remarkable because he had it for years. He has the experience above Sasukepi and Sasukeru. But, two Rinnegans are more powerful."

"But Sasukeru has 2 Rinnegans! "Narutoru insisted.

"Without Sasukepi's, unfortunately, it will be useless. The original summoner is Sasukepi's Rinnegan. His is the key to open the chance to your way home."

"Is there no other way?" Menma asked.

Indra looked at Menma intensely, "In the worst scenario, if Sasukepi dies, we can transplant his Rinnegan to Menma."

There was a series of gasps from the reincarnations. Indra described, "Menma as the son of Sasukepi and Narutopi has the mix chakras of mine and Asura. He will be capable to use Sasukepi's Rinnegan and bring four of you back to your origins."

The four reincarnations and Menma looked down as they were drowned by their thoughts. The heavy silence immensely filled the air. Asura was sympathetic to them. He asked his brother, "Can't you create a new jutsu to search them, Ani-ue?"

Indra glanced at Asura. He sensed both Narutos and Menma's eyes were on them. "I will need DNA from both the parents to find them with a method I knew. Like I said earlier, the parents and their children have an unbreakable bond. Unlike Menma's pendant. That bond between parents and children breaks through every seal I know. Fugaku, Mikoto, and Kushina are dead in here so it won't work. I can find them even inside kekkai or anything similar if their both parents are alive."

"Can't you use mine to search for them? I'm their son," suggested Menma.

"I will need blood from both parents to draw the seals which lead find one child. It will be dangerous if I take the blood from you alone since Yuma is just a toddler. You could die," stated Indra.

"It's fin—"

Naruto snapped at Menma, "It's not fine, Menma! You can't die! I'm sure Narutopi and Sasukepi don't want you to die. Do you know how it will be for them to live if you die?!"

Menma was startled and silenced with shame on his face. Like a child scolded by their parents. Narutoru could relate to that. He felt Naruto look alike his mother a lot. Well, he shouldn't be surprised. Naruto was Kushina's son as well even in another universe.

Naruto asked the older Otsutsuki, "You need both parents' DNA?"

"Yes."

"Will it work if the children are in another universe?" the blond asked again.

"Possibly. Every universe has its border."

Naruto asked with hopeful eyes, "Can you do it using my and Sasuke's DNA?"

All eyes were on Naruto. Indra asked, "You want to search for your children?"

"I keep thinking that it will be great if I can communicate with my children in our time. Like what Narutopi did when Menma went to the past. I would love to see them. But, I don't have anything linkable like Menma's pendant and Narutopi's one. And you said you can find them through the parent's DNA anywhere." Naruto rambling.

He continued, "When we arrive at this era, I thought we just need to wait for Sasukepi and Narutopi to synchronize our chakra then go back to our time. But, then, Sasukeru and Narutoru arrived here plus bijuu has gone missing as well. It's more than what I expected. And when you said there was a chance of us couldn't go back home, it makes me want to see my children right now..." His tone rapidly saddened. "Menma... Suma... Yuma... They are still a kid... I don't want them to be orphanage like we did..."

Menma reached up to hold Naruto's hand. Narutoru did the same only to pat the backhand. Asura turned sad as well, "Naruto..."

"We will go back, Naruto," Sasuke touched his shoulder to assure him. "I will make sure of that."

Naruto nodded, his eyes glistening with unshed tears, "I just want to see them..."

Asura who felt Naruto's feelings turned his head toward his elder brother with pleading eyes. Both Sasukes didn't say that but their eyes were on the Otsutsuki brothers after they felt a string on Indra's feelings. The reincarnations knew what Indra would say the moment he opened his mouth.

"I might have a jutsu for that purpose," he admitted.

Naruto widened his eyes, "Seriously? I can see my children?"

Indra nodded, "It won't be long because it depends on the blood I take from you and Sasuke. Since it's in another timeline, the duration won't be as long as if it's in the same place."

"As long as I can see them, it's fine no matter how brief it is," Naruto convinced him. "I just want to see them okay."

"I need several things other than your and Sasuke's blood," Indra explained. "Since it's in another universe, I need the sacred scroll which contains Nidaime Hokage's signature chakra because he was the creator."

"It was stolen by Black Zetsu," said Menma. Sasuke asked, "Why would you need Nidaime's signature chakra?"

"To reach the little Menma and Suma, it will be faster using Nidaime's signature chakra since they were exposed by that chakra when Naruto was pregnant during the time you went back to the future from the founder era. It will be another link which connected to them. The more link we have the faster this jutsu will succeed."

"But, the scroll is gone," Naruto felt saddened, "so, we can't do it..."

Silence followed that sentence. Indra breaks the silence by saying, "I never say we can't."

Asura and his reincarnations snapped their head at Indra. Blue eyes blinked, and both Narutos asked, "What?"

"It's still possible to do it if we can get Nidaime Hokage's chakra to us."

There was gasped around Indra. Sasuke asked, "How do you do that? Nidaime has passed away in this era."

"But, not in his era," Indra looked at Sasuke pointedly. Sasuke widened his eyes, "In his era? You want to go back to the past?"

"Not literally," Indra glanced at the youngest Sasuke with his palm open at him. "Give me your necklace, Sasukeru."

"Excuse me?"

"Give me Madara's necklace," he informed. Then, he elaborated, "Like Menma's pendant, Madara's necklace in the past and the one given to Sasukeru was made by the same person which is Hashirama. We have the same pendant like Madara had in the past. It will have a link like Menma's pendant so we can communicate with Madara. Rinnegan will make it able to transfer Nidaime chakra's to the necklace and we can use it for the jutsu to reach Little Menma."

Naruto gaped with awe, "W-we-we can see Madara and others as well?" It never crossed his mind that they would talk to the Madara in Founder Era. He thought it will be impossible since they were on a different timeline. However, it seemed like nothing is impossible for Indra Otsutsuki.

Indra confirmed, "I believe, yes."

Naruto stunned. He knew Indra was genius and all since he was the pioneer of hand seals but to make this possible was beyond Naruto's logic. Indra was not just a normal human. Kaguya's gene was dominant in his gene.

What he's capable of was beyond the limit.


Hello!!! Thanks for reading!! Next chapter, there will be Madara from Perfect Time!

What do you think? I'm excited to know what you guys think! This chapter has so many explanations so if anyone has questions, please let me know in the comment! Thanks!

msfighter09: I hope it is! Hope you like it!

osh0204: Oh, sorry to hear that. But, I'm glad you survived coz I love your review! It will be a pity to not get one from you hehe I'm a lucky writer because you give me your review regularly. I can't thank you enough for that! It makes me so happy!

Guilty pleasure LOL I can understand that hehe I agree that Indra loves Asura romantically. He is such loving brother but awkward showing his love, imo. Your theory is makes sense where Indra has a battle inside himself and is angry at the heir's decision thing. But, I have another idea for that topic. It will be explained in future chapters. Wait for it!

Ok, I get your point but still I'm flattered. I know I'm good but to hear from other people makes me happy :)

Yeah, I believe you forgot about Black Zetsu LOL thank you, thank you! I'm glad I can still surprise you. I'm really good, am I? LOL sorry, I just so proud of myself hehe
