Anachronistic Forest
Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi find themselves cursed with immortality after their last stand against the Crazy Rabbit Goddess. After eons of trying everything they could, they eventually run out of things to do, and it all leads them to open a Café Diner in their later years. Little did they know, their humble joint becomes a hotspot for the Gods themselves!
Chapter I: Relaxation
"Man, talk about another letdown," Naruto grumbled. Sasuke rolled his eyes in response, Sakura let out a weary sigh, and as for Kakashi? That guy was in his element, chilling and flipping through his usual guilty pleasure – the infamous perverted book.
Now, speaking of said Silver Haired ninja, where the hell was he off to again? It was a classic case of "Where in the 9 realms is our sensei?" Sakura couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, wondering where their elusive mentor had disappeared to this time. And there was Sasuke, doing his signature emo thing, scoffing and hitting them with an "hn."
"Come on, Sasuke! The dare ended, like, three years ago!" Naruto couldn't help but yell out in frustration, knowing full well that Sasuke was still milking that whole brooding act. But hey, what can you do?
A mischievous smile played on Sasuke's lips, clearly enjoying the teasing game they all played. Ah, the eternal dance of camaraderie between these friends-turned-family.
"Oh well, no need to worry. Kakashi-sensei has a knack for finding his way back to us eventually," Sakura nonchalantly remarked, a knowing smile playing on her lips. Let's face it, social niceties were never really his thing, and that's what makes him all the more endearing, right?
"Anyways, what do we do now? I mean like… That was the last one for this century's bucket list," Sasuke inquired, his curiosity piqued as he awaited Naruto's next round of wild ideas. Through the eons they had shared, Sasuke had gradually opened up, embracing a brighter side of life. Gone were the days of taking everything so seriously. As their blonde comrade would put it, "He doesn't have a 10-foot pole shoved in his butt anymore."
Sakura took a moment to mull over the question, her brows furrowed in thought. Naruto, being Naruto, was off in his own world, undoubtedly concocting some wild and outrageous ideas. And Kakashi? Well, who knows what that guy was up to with his enigmatic ways
"I say we kick back and unwind for a while," Sakura suggested, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "You know, just do some good ol' fashioned relaxing. We've earned it after all those crazy adventures and battles. Time to recharge and let loose in a couple of decades!"
With a collective nod of agreement, the crew decided to embrace the simple joys of life for this short while. No grand quests! No earth-shattering missions! Just some well-deserved downtime to enjoy each other's company, revel in the little pleasures, and let the stress melt away. Whether it's a lazy day at the beach or a hilarious movie marathon, or maybe even a business. Normalcy!
"Well... um... how do we even... uh... start?" Naruto asked, his voice tinged with a touch of worry. It was a valid concern, really. After spending countless eons immersed in nothing but utter craziness and exhilarating adventures, how were they supposed to embrace relaxation?
Sakura flashed a reassuring smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Don't worry, Naruto. We'll figure it out. Let's start by taking things slow and simple. Maybe a picnic in the park or a lazy day at the hot springs. We'll rediscover the joy in the ordinary and find our own brand of relaxation."
The three boys exchanged uncertain glances and muttered in unison, "Alright then..."
Hearing another voice, alongside them, Naruto, and Sasuke just chose to ignore it. Their mentor was always like that. Disappearing off to nowhere then appearing like nothing just happened.
Sakura couldn't help but chuckle at their dubious expressions. "Come on, guys! Where's your sense of adventure? We'll make this fun, I promise! Think of it as a new quest, but with comfy chairs and fluffy pillows instead of shurikens, chakra, and kunais."
Sasuke nodded, "Fine, I'm in. But if this turns out to be as chaotic as usual, I'm blaming you, Sakura."
"What?! Why me?" Sakura exclaimed, her pink hair practically standing on end with indignation. "Blame Naruto! He's the wildest one in this group, hands down!"
Naruto couldn't help but burst into laughter, pointing a finger at himself. "Hey, hey, don't be so quick to throw me under the bus, Sakura-chan! We're all in this together, remember?"
Sasuke smirked, clearly enjoying the banter. "Ah, come on, Sakura. You've got that hidden side too. Don't think we've forgotten about your pranks a couple centuries back."
Sakura huffed, crossing her arms. "Alright, fine. Maybe I've got a trick or two up my sleeve. But don't forget, Naruto's the one who always takes things to the next level!"
With a playful wink and a wide grin, Naruto added, "That's just my special talent, Sakura! Taking things to a whole new level of crazy!"
And right smack in the middle of this trio, we have the one and only, Kakashi. He's seen it all, been through it all, and knows better than to try and stop their shenanigans. So, what does he do? He joins in on the fun, of course!
With his trademark laid-back attitude and hidden grin, Kakashi effortlessly blends into the chaos. He's like the cool older sibling who's seen it all and is more than happy to hop on the crazy train. Why fight it when you can embrace the madness and enjoy the ride?
Amidst their friendly bickering, it was clear that blame could be shared amongst the squad.
After what felt like forever, they finally stood there, smack dab in the heart of New York City, Manhattan. They gazed in awe at their new digs—a sweet, little building that was all theirs. Five stories of pure awesomeness, standing tall and proud.
The place was a diamond in the rough, untouched and freshly built. No fancy paint jobs or renovations needed. It was perfect just the way it was. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi couldn't contain their excitement as they imagined the endless possibilities this blank canvas held.
"Guys, this is it! Our very own hangout spot in the heart of the Big Apple!" Naruto exclaimed, practically bouncing off the walls with enthusiasm.
Sakura grinned, her eyes sparkling. "It's like our own secret hideout, but with delicious food and comfy chairs!"
Sasuke smirked, giving a nod of approval. "Not bad, not bad at all. I can already imagine how this place will be."
Kakashi, ever the cool and collected one, simply raised an eyebrow behind his mask. But his eyes revealed a glimmer of excitement as he envisioned the fun that awaited them.
"Alrighty then! First things first, let's tackle the outside!" Naruto declared, earning a few raised eyebrows from the unsuspecting passer-by.
The other trio exchanged amused glances as they saw the puzzled expressions on people's faces. Naruto's enthusiasm was infectious, even if it raised a few eyebrows.
With Naruto leading the way, the crew stepped inside their cozy sanctuary. Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi trailed behind, moving like a well-oiled machine as they headed straight to the supply room. Time to unleash their inner design gurus and bring their epic vision to life!
Sakura had dibs on managing both the outside and inside aesthetics. The boys? Well, they were there to lend a hand and speed things up, obviously.
"Alright, team! Time to gear up and get this party started!" Naruto exclaimed, grabbing some paintbrushes with an eager grin.
Sasuke, always the brooding perfectionist, analyzed the tools at his disposal. "Let's make sure every detail is on point. No half-assing, got it?"
Sakura, the ultimate multitasker, rolled up her sleeves. "I've got the master plan, boys. Just follow my lead, and we'll transform this place into a true haven!"
Kakashi, ever the calm observer, adjusted his trusty mask. "Remember, teamwork makes the dream work."
"Alright, listen up, guys! Here's the lowdown. Naruto, you're the craftsman extraordinaire. Get your hands busy making furniture and gathering the essentials. Kakashi-sensei, unleash your artistic flair and join me in the painting and decorating extravaganza. And Sasuke, my man, you're in charge of setting up everything exactly as we planned. Tables, chairs, the whole shebang. In a nutshell, you and Naruto handle the basics while Kakashi-sensei and I sprinkle our magic to make it shine!"
Sakura's voice brimmed with excitement as she outlined their roles. Her enthusiasm was contagious, igniting a fire of determination in each of them.
Naruto pumped his fist, ready for action. "You got it, Sakura-chan! I'll whip up some killer furniture like a pro!"
Kakashi, the embodiment of coolness, gave an approving nod, his eye crinkling in a mysterious way that only he could pull off.
Sasuke, true to his broody nature, stayed silent, but a spark of determination gleamed in his eyes, silently promising to make this endeavor a success.
"Alright, folks, let's keep the ball rolling!" Sakura exclaimed with an infectious cheerfulness, her enthusiasm spreading like wildfire among the crew.
Her words ignited a fresh surge of energy in everyone, their spirits lifting higher than before. With Sakura's upbeat attitude leading the charge, there was no room for hesitation or doubt.
In a blink of an eye, the squad dove into their respective tasks.
Naruto wasted no time, hunkering down in his corner and channelling his chakra into crafting magnificent wooden furniture. His hands moved with lightning speed, shaping and molding the raw materials into exquisite pieces.
As Naruto worked his magic, the wooden floor seemed to sprout furniture out of thin air. A touch of nature chakra added a unique flair, with the occasional leaf popping up here and there. Of course, his observant onyx-eyed teammate promptly plucked away any stray foliage, ensuring a polished finish…
When Naruto finally deemed enough furniture had been crafted, he set down his hands in a satisfied grin. Meanwhile, Sasuke sprang into action, swiftly maneuvering the pieces into their designated spots with a keen eye for detail. Naruto eagerly joined in, lending his strength to the arrangement process.
With synchronized movements, they carefully positioned each table, chair, and decorative item, creating a harmonious layout within the café. The room began to take shape, reflecting the vision they had meticulously planned together.
The once empty space now buzzed with life as the furniture found its rightful place. A cozy corner for conversations, a spacious counter for culinary delights, and a welcoming seating area for weary souls to find respite. It was a symphony of comfort and aesthetics, a testament to the crew's combined efforts.
Step by step, they transformed the café into a space that whispered of warmth and camaraderie. It was a place where laughter and shared moments would soon fill the air, creating memories that would linger in the hearts of their customers…
With the ground floor complete, the two carried their enthusiasm and teamwork to the upper levels of the building. Each floor held a special purpose, serving as private quarters for the immortal quartet…
With a shared understanding, Sakura and Kakashi hurried outside to begin the task of decorating the exterior of their newfound café. As they stepped into the bustling streets of New York City, they couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement,
Knowing that their powers and abilities were far from ordinary, they decided to take it slow and keep a low profile. After all, they didn't want to inadvertently cause a panic among the unsuspecting humans.
With a touch of Sakura's chakra, the flowers around the café bloomed in vibrant colors, adding a touch of natural beauty to the surroundings. Kakashi, with his keen eye for aesthetics, carefully placed decorative elements that blended seamlessly with the urban landscape.
As they worked, passer-by would occasionally give them curious glances, but Sakura and Kakashi remained unfazed. They were used to attracting attention, their extraordinary abilities a testament to their immortal existence. They continued their task, weaving their magic in subtle ways, leaving behind an enchanting aura that would draw people in.
With each brushstroke and flourish of Sakura's chakra, the exterior of the café began to transform. Splashes of color and intricate designs emerged, reflecting the unique spirit of the place. They added their personal touches, making sure that the café stood out among the sea of buildings in Manhattan.
As the sun started to set, casting a warm glow over the city, Sakura and Kakashi stepped back to admire their handiwork. The café now boasted an inviting and whimsical exterior, beckoning both mortals and immortals alike.
Satisfied with their efforts, Sakura and Kakashi exchanged knowing glances. The stage was set, and soon their immortal friends would join them in this extraordinary venture.
Kakashi and Sakura stepped inside, finding Naruto and Sasuke wiping off the sweat from their brows. It seemed like they had finished their tasks around the same time.
Sakura, with her ever-curious nature, couldn't wait to hear how it went. "So, how did it go?" she asked, a hint of excitement in her voice.
Naruto, true to his exuberant self, couldn't contain his enthusiasm. "It went fantastic!" he exclaimed, his voice echoing through the café.
Kakashi, always the calm and collected one, chimed in. "Why don't you give us a little tour? Show us around."
With a proud glint in his eye, Sasuke nodded in agreement. The crew gathered, eager to explore their creation and see how each of their contributions had come together.
As the four ascended the stairs, anticipation filled the air. Naruto's floor was a reflection of his vibrant personality, with splashes of orange and a touch of chaos. His room was a cozy haven, adorned with memories of his adventures and a collection of ramen-themed decorations.
Sakura's floor exuded elegance and tranquility. Soft hues of pink adorned the walls, complemented by delicate flower arrangements. Her room was a sanctuary of serenity, a place where she could find solace amidst the bustling world.
Sasuke's floor, true to his brooding nature, was a minimalist masterpiece. Shades of black and cool blues created an atmosphere of mystery and solitude. His room emanated a sense of quiet strength, reflecting his journey of self-discovery.
Finally, Kakashi's floor was a blend of comfort and knowledge. Bookshelves lined the walls, filled with a vast collection of literature from various realms. His room was a sanctuary of wisdom and relaxation, a retreat where he could immerse himself in the depths of knowledge.
With their private quarters complete, the crew stood back, admiring the culmination of their efforts. Each floor was a reflection of their unique personalities and provided a sanctuary for them to retreat to when the chaos of the café subsided.
As they moved from floor to floor, laughter and banter filled the air. Each room was a reflection of their individuality, woven together with their shared bond of friendship.
With the tour complete, the crew stood back, taking in the culmination of their efforts. The café, now a lively and inviting space, and their private quarters, filled with personal touches, were ready to welcome guests.
Hearts full of anticipation and joy, the squad prepared for the grand opening, ready to share their extraordinary journey with all who entered their humble joint.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow through the windows, the crew couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. The café, now fully furnished, and their private quarters, ready to offer respite, awaited the grand opening.
