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!
Short Summary - Chapter III
In the bustling city of New York, Naruto's infectious energy and enthusiasm spread throughout the streets, bringing smiles and a sense of joy to everyone he encountered. Sasuke, while initially amused by Naruto's antics, recognized and appreciated the light Naruto brought to the world. Meanwhile, Sakura embarked on a playful quest to find her elusive mentor, Kakashi, only to discover he had gone on a supply run. Naruto, guided by the wisdom of the Tailed Beasts within him, designed a captivating menu for their Café Diner, ready to share it with the world. And as Naruto invited passersby to the grand opening, a mysterious woman caught his attention, drawing him closer with her ethereal beauty and captivating presence.
Chapter IV: Emergence
Sakura's eyes fluttered open, immediately filled with an eager anticipation that matched her racing heart. The room was bathed in the soft morning light, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement coursing through her veins. Today was the big day—the day she had been eagerly awaiting.
Throwing off her covers with a burst of energy, Sakura leaped out of bed and hastily made her way to the window. She pulled back the curtains, revealing a world tinged with the promise of a great day. The sunlight filtered through the huge and tall buildings, casting odd blocky shadows on the streets below. The vehicles revved, as if joining in Sakura's enthusiasm for the day ahead.
With a wide smile stretching across her face, Sakura took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the invigorating morning air. The excitement pulsed within her, urging her to seize the day and make the most of every moment.
Sakura's excitement bubbled over as she prepared for the grand opening of their café diner. The dream she had nurtured for so long was finally coming to fruition. She couldn't help but feel a mix of nerves and anticipation as she glanced at herself in the mirror, ensuring her attire was perfect for the occasion.
Sakura wore the same thing Naruto wore while he was going on those promotions for their café. Her black slacks clung to her form, expertly tailored to accentuate her lean figure. They offered a perfect fit, hugging her curves in all the right places without sacrificing comfort. The sleek silhouette of the pants added a touch of sophistication to her ensemble, exuding a sense of effortless style.
Complementing the slacks was a crisp, white, buttoned long-sleeved shirt that added a touch of refinement to her overall look. The fabric draped gracefully over her frame, the sleeves reaching just past her wrists. The shirt, meticulously chosen, conveyed a sense of poise and elegance, while the buttoned collar added a subtle touch of formality.
To complete her ensemble, she chose a tailored blazer that added a layer of sophistication and polish. The blazer, in a deep navy or charcoal gray hue, boasted a sleek design that enhanced her professional appearance. It featured subtle details like gold buttons or a discreet embroidered emblem of Team 7's Café Diner, showcasing her attention to detail and commitment to their shared venture.
Despite the thoughtful effort her teammates had put into crafting a custom uniform for her, or generally just females, Sakura found herself drawn to the idea of wearing the same attire as Naruto and the rest of the team. It wasn't a matter of disregarding their gesture or dismissing their creativity; rather, it was a simply her desire to be one with them even more, and you know what? She didn't like dressing up as a girl too much anyways. Maybe if the occasion calls for it, but she'd usually prefer to blend in with the rest of her boys.
Shortly after checking herself out, Sakura made her way to Kakashi's room first. She gently knocked on the door, calling out, "Kakashi sensei, it's time to wake up. The big day is here!"
To her delight, Kakashi responded promptly, his calm voice resonating through the door. "I'm already up, Sakura. Ready to make this day a success."
Sakura smiled and moved on to Sasuke's room, knowing he was always punctual. She softly rapped on his door and called out, "Sasuke, it's time. We have a busy day ahead."
True to form, Sasuke emerged from his room moments later, fully dressed and composed. His focused gaze met Sakura's, a silent acknowledgement passing between them.
Feeling accomplished, Sakura's attention turned to the room where Naruto slept. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for the challenge that awaited. She swung the door open and called out, "Naruto, rise and shine! The grand opening is today!"
However, Naruto, ever the heavy sleeper, remained blissfully unaware of the day's significance. Sakura sighed, knowing that waking him up was always a task of its own. She approached his bed and gently shook him, calling out his name with increasing urgency.
"Naruto, come on! It's the big day! We need you ready!"
Finally, Naruto stirred, groggily blinking his eyes open. His expression shifted from confusion to realization as he registered Sakura's words. With a sudden burst of energy, he shot up from the bed, rubbing his eyes and stretching his arms.
"Did you say it's the grand opening?" Naruto exclaimed, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and sleepiness. "I can't believe I almost overslept! Let's do this, Sakura!"
Sakura grinned, relieved that her efforts had paid off. Together, the four of them would conquer the challenges of the day, each bringing their unique strengths to the table…
"Alright, everyone, you know your roles," Sakura declared with a sense of authority in her voice. "I trust each of you to handle your responsibilities flawlessly. I'll take care of the decorations outside."
With her words hanging in the air, Sakura swiftly made her way to the door, her steps purposeful and determined. As she stepped out onto the bustling streets of Manhattan, the energy of the city enveloped her.
Sakura wasted no time, her eyes scanning the exterior of the café diner. She envisioned the scene she wanted to create—a welcoming and inviting space that would catch the attention of passersby. Determined to make a lasting impression, she reached into her creative well and let her ideas flow.
Carefully, she hung vibrant banners with intricate designs, gently swaying in the cool breeze. Their colors, bold and eye-catching, enticed pedestrians to stop and take notice. Sakura strategically placed potted plants, their green foliage adding a touch of nature to the bustling streets. She adorned the windows with delicate curtains, allowing glimpses of the warm and inviting interior.
Sakura, ever attuned to her surroundings, sensed a subtle shift in the air. It was as if a whisper of change had brushed against her skin, barely noticeable to anyone else. Her senses heightened, she paused in her task, momentarily captivated by the anomaly.
Her analytical mind kicked into overdrive, analyzing the infinitesimal nuances in the atmosphere. It was a minuscule disturbance, imperceptible to most, but for Sakura, it was a puzzle begging to be solved. She concentrated, delving deep into her chakra reserves, tapping into her inner strength to heighten her perception.
As she focused, a faint vibration coursed through her being. It was as if the very fabric of reality trembled at the presence of an unseen force. Sakura's trained senses, honed through countless battles and trials, allowed her to discern the tiniest variations in energy.
"It's faint, but there's definitely something here," Sakura murmured to herself, her voice barely audible over the ambient sounds of the bustling city.
As Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi joined Sakura outside the café, their eyes were drawn to the same limitless expanse of the heavens. The sky stretched out above them like a vast canvas, painted with hues of cerulean and hints of cotton-like clouds. Each of them had honed their senses to a razor-sharp edge, capable of perceiving even the slightest, most minuscule disturbances in the environment.
Naruto's azure eyes, brimming with a mixture of curiosity, scanned the sky with an unwavering focus. His connection with the power of the nine tailed beasts and the Nature granted him an acute perception of the world around him, allowing him to sense even the most subtle shifts in energy. The breeze whispered through his blonde hair, and he could almost taste the electric charge in the air.
Sasuke, his onyx eyes sharp and piercing, surveyed the skies with a calculating gaze. The Sharingan, his bloodline doujutsu, heightened his perception to extraordinary levels. He analyzed the sky, looking for any anomalies, patterns, or disturbances that could reveal the source of the power spike. His keen intellect combined with his enhanced visual prowess made him a formidable asset in deciphering the mysteries that lay before them.
Kakashi, the silver-haired shinobi, observed the heavens with his two inherited Sharingan eye. Behind his calm demeanor, a wealth of experience and knowledge lay hidden. The pair of eyes, once belonging to his dear friend and comrade, Obito Uchiha, granted him a unique insight into the world of chakra and its manifestations. With his keen analytical skills, Kakashi dissected the elements of the sky, seeking answers within the complex web of energy.
"There it is…" Naruto muttered out, his three other teammates hearing him clearly due to their chakra boosted senses.
The group followed Naruto's gaze, their attention focused on a particular point in the sky where the energy seemed to gather and intensify. As they stared, their senses heightened by their chakra-infused perception.
Right there, right above the Empire State Building, at that moment of anticipation, a spectacle unfolded before their very eyes. A tiny flicker, scarcely visible to the naked eye, ignited in the space just above the towering structure. It was a minuscule burst of energy, subtle yet captivating.
To the ordinary observer, lost in the hustle and bustle of the city streets, the spark would have gone entirely unnoticed. It would have blended seamlessly with the fabric of the sky, concealed within the grand tapestry of the urban landscape. No ordinary person would have thought twice about it, for their attention would be consumed by the mundane affairs of everyday life.
However, the members of Team 7—Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi—were no ordinary individuals. Gifted with extraordinary perception and honed instincts, they possessed the keen senses of warriors trained in the crucible of combat. Their eyes were attuned to the subtlest shifts in the environment, ever vigilant to the supernatural, the extraordinary, and the unexpected.
"Hopefully it's not another fight," chimed their silver-haired sensei, his tone laced with a hint of weariness.
The last fight between the "Gods" had spiraled into a full-blown war. The aftermath had been chaotic, with battle lines drawn and the fate of countries hanging in the balance. The scars, both physical and emotional, were still etched upon the souls of the people that were sadly involved in the war.
"I'll beat the sense unto them myself if they cause another war like that!" Their blonde teammate proclaimed, and the others found themselves agreeing to the concept.
The "Gods," Titans, and other supernatural beings remained blissfully unaware of their presence. Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi had taken great measures to conceal their existence from these divine entities. They had discovered the new governing bodies of this world and realized the need to remain completely undetectable to avoid unnecessary attention and interference.
Drawing upon their vast knowledge and formidable powers, the team employed a combination of ancient techniques, chakra manipulation, and subtle illusions to veil themselves from the eyes of the divine. They skillfully masked their presence, making themselves virtually invisible to the gods and any other beings with supernatural senses.
Their actions were driven by a deep understanding of the potential consequences that could arise from their interaction with these celestial entities. They knew that meddling with the gods could upset the delicate balance of power and potentially lead to unforeseen consequences.
These deities possessed an inherent paranoia, comparable to the likes of Danzo, a character known for his cunning and suspicion. Their divine nature often fueled their insecurities, making them wary of any potential threats to their power and authority. If they were to discover the existence of beings who were not only infinitely older but also possessed a never-ending well of experience and strength than themselves, the repercussions would be catastrophic.
Letting out a resigned sigh, Kakashi turned on his heel and made his way back inside the café, signaling for his comrades to gather for a final discussion before the grand opening. Tiredness clearly seen, he moved as swiftly as he could through the entrance, his steps measured and precise as can be.
Within moments, the four teammates found their places, settling down around the table, their anticipation palpable in the air. Each of them exuded a quiet confidence, a readiness to listen and contribute to the discussion that was about to unfold.
Kakashi took a moment to gather his thoughts, his lone visible eye scanning the faces of his comrades. Naruto's vibrant energy radiated like a simmering flame, Sakura's determination shimmered in her emerald eyes, Sasuke's stoic composure hinted at his focused resolve.
After a minute of silence, the first word, or rather, words were finally brought upon them. They had spoken all at the same time, speaking about their readiness to start and open the floodgates.
Their silver-haired sensei's deep chuckle reverberated through the room, carrying a hint of amusement. His single visible eye crinkled with a playful glint as he regarded his eager students.
"Well, it seems we are more than ready!" he remarked, his voice tinged with a slight hint of a laugh. "What are you all waiting for?"
Author's Notes: And sadly, that concludes this chapter, albeit shorter than anticipated. Sometimes, brevity serves as a teaser, leaving readers hungry for more. It's like a taste of something delectable that leaves you craving another bite.
I'm really sorry for being gone for so long, fret not however, thine had made a promise to thee. I shalt not abandon this project and continue on forever until it is finished.
As I said earlier in the chapter's first AN, life can sometimes lead us astray, causing delays and interruptions. However, I am firmly committed to this project and will do everything in my power to honor that commitment. I understand the importance of fulfilling promises and the trust that you, as readers, have placed in me.
Now, let's delve into the reviews! I am filled with anticipation to discover what lies within. I must admit that I have refrained from perusing this treasure trove for the past few weeks, eager to experience the unfiltered opinions and perspectives of readers.
