บท 97: Awkward Family Reunion
Quick announcement.
In the last chapter, the wording of a sentence was a bit weird. I think you all noticed it. It was when Izumi used her mangekyou.
There was a sentence that said, "Her eyes didn't hurt anymore because they were negated by Akihiko's seminal fluid."
It was supposed to be, "Her eyes didn't hurt anymore because Akihiko's seminal fluid helped negate the side effects slowly every time they had sex."
Akihiko's seminal fluid strengthened their body and slowly enhanced the healing and also negated the side effects of mangekyou. That's what I meant.
Yes. Sorry. Now, give me power stones.
-----
"Sage mode?"
"Yep. Sage mode. You just have to color your eyelids using orange paint." Akihiko said as Naruto's face changed into a weird expression.
"I was just joking. I'll explain about it now."
Akihiko started explaining about Sage Mode as Naruto nodded.
"Well, do you want to learn from me or from the toads at Mount Myoboku? The toads have a way to enhance the speed of absorbing natural energy. If you learn with me, the progress will be a bit slow." Akihiko said as he remembered how Kurenai's training went.
"I'll practice with the toads. Thanks Akihiko! I'll go to Mount Myoboku tomorrow." Naruto replied immediately with a smile as he was about to run back inside the house.
Akihiko grabbed his shoulders and told him seriously.
"Naruto, don't try to rush the training. You will become a toad if you cannot balance the natural energy and chakra."
"Hehe, I got it. Thanks for warning me. I'll learn it successfully, believe it!" Naruto said as they both walked back inside the house.
When they got back inside the house, Naruto just ran up to his room. Kushina just pulled Akihiko's hand as she led him to their bedroom. Inside the bedroom, everyone was gathered here. Mikoto already read a story to the kids and they were already asleep.
"So, I'll start talking about my dojutsu!" Ayame said excitedly as everyone nodded.
Ayame started happily explaining all her abilities as everyone was surprised and was happy for her too.
"And that's it. Father said that I still have many things to learn."
"Who would have known, Teuchi-san was a hidden powerhouse." Izumi said as everyone nodded.
Akihiko was not surprised as he already knew that Teuchi was strong. It was just that he didn't know the specific abilities of the dojutsu.
They all continued talking for a while and then slept.
-----
The next day, Sasuke and his team arrived at Konoha around 5 in the morning.
"It took a little longer since we had to complete the mission given by the Hokage. Now, let's go back and meet everyone." They said as they reached the gate.
"Can you please tell us who you are?"
"Sasuke Uchiha. I just returned from my mission. They are my teammates."
"Alright, sir. What about him?" The guards asked as Sasuke looked at Itachi. Itachi's Akatsuki robes were already burned down and he only wore ragged clothes.
"Him? He's a pitiful beggar that I saw along the way. We were about to leave him but then he hugged my legs and cried. He continued begging for a long time. He said that he'll be my servant for life and just wanted to leave his beggar status. My heart couldn't handle it and decided to bring him to Konoha."
"A-ah, I see. You may get in, sir."
'How did they even believe that story?' x2
Karin and Jugo were both surprised at the guards believing it and Sasuke's pettiness.
The three of them got inside Konoha as Jugo carried Itachi. Sasuke led Jugo and Karin towards the Uchiha Household as Deidara who was patrolling around the Uchiha Household spoke.
"Who are you? Why are you here? If you do not give a satisfactory answer, I'll have to throw the cookie bomb, you intruder!"
"This is my home and who the fuck are you? You're the intruder, not me." Sasuke asked as Deidara was also confused.
Suddenly, the door opened as they saw an extremely familiar person.
"Akihiko, he's an intruder!" "Boss, he's an intruder!"
They both pointed at each other as Sasuke and Deidara looked at each other. At that moment, Deidara noticed someone familiar being carried by someone behind Sasuke.
"Wait, is that Itachi?"
"You know him?" Sasuke asked as Deidara nodded.
"We were in the same group."
"Wait, so that means…"
"*sigh* Talk inside. I'm cooking breakfast." Akihiko said as he walked back inside with his trusty apron. Earlier, he didn't have any transformation jutsu on him but as soon as he heard them, he used a transformation jutsu.
Sasuke and Deidara nodded at each other as they also followed Akihiko. Karin dragged Jugo who was staring at the house.
Inside the house, it was very quiet as the babies were still asleep. Kushina, Mikoto, Izumi, Yugao, Pakura and Haku were doing household chores around the house. The house was enormous so they took on roles to take less time.
Ayame and Shizune were out shopping for ingredients as they needed new ingredients for the week.
Kurenai and Anko were watering the plants and trees that were planted in their home.
"Well, to simplify, Deidara's my new, errrr, subordinate and student, I guess. He wants to learn how to make cookies from me."
"Nice to meet you." Deidara tried to make a friendly smile which only looked like a maniacal smile.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Sasuke Uchiha. She's Karin and he's Jugo. And that fucker is Itachi." Sasuke said as he pointed at Itachi.
'Ah, so the hate's real. It seems like Itachi lost the brotherly fight. It would have been interesting to watch.' Deidara thought as he asked Akihiko.
"Boss, should I help you in making breakfast?"
"Nope. It's fine. Just sit down. Sasuke, Naruto's still not awake."
"Got it. I'll go wake him up." Sasuke said as he ran upwards. Deidara sat in front of Jugo and Karin who had Itachi tied up in ropes.
-----
[20 minutes later]
Everyone was gathered in the living room as Akihiko was about to finish cooking breakfast.
Everyone was silent in the living room as Deidara, Karin and Jugo were standing away from them.
"This is nerve-wracking even though I don't know why." Deidara whispered towards Jugo as Jugo also nodded.
The reason for the silence in the living room was because of Itachi who was still tied up. He woke up just a few seconds ago as he was surprised.
"Huh?" Itachi exclaimed as his eyes widened.
"Itachi…. you didn't even contact your mother once. Not even a short letter." Mikoto just muttered as she walked towards Itachi. Sasuke immediately walked away from that area as he could sense something ominous.
*Slaps*
Mikoto slapped Itachi in the face as she forgot to control her strength. Itachi flew towards the wall and passed through 2 layers of walls.The rope that tied him was already broken.
"Ah, I forgot to adjust my strength." Mikoto covered her cheeks with her hands as she panicked for a while.
"K-Karin, i-is everyone in the house this scary?" Jugo asked as Karin nodded.
"Yes. The strongest here is Akihiko. I only know that since Sasuke told me about it. He taught Sasuke almost everything."
"Oh fuck."
Deidara who was watching this scene grinned as he celebrated in his mind.
'Fuck yeah, I certainly made a good choice. Who would want to fight against them? Just a single slap made Itachi fly like a bird. Haha! All praise the Cookie!'
Akihiko finished his cooking as he appeared in front of where Itachi crashed.
"Ah shit. Itachi, are you awake?"
Itachi shook his head as he felt dizzy from the slap. Blood was dripping down his head as he replied.
"Yes."
"So, how bad is your disease?" Akihiko asked quietly as Itachi widened his eyes.
"I might die in a few months. I don't know when." Itachi whispered as Akihiko helped him get up.
"Mikoto might forgive you but it'll be difficult for Sasuke. But if you talk to him a lot, he'll grow close to you, I think. After all, he really loved you when you both were young. Also, treasure your remaining life." Akihiko said as Itachi remained silent.
They walked back to the house as Sasuke was still glaring at Itachi.
"Here. Ice for you." Haku said as she created a large ice block. Itachi thanked her and just held the ice block in his hand.
"Now, now, let's eat breakfast first, alright? The food is going to get cold." Akihiko said as he went and sat on a chair. Itachi also awkwardly followed him and sat beside him. Following them, everyone else also started taking their seat. Naruto already woke up so he was sitting beside Sasuke.
"I have a portion for the 3 of you too." Akihiko said as Deidara swiftly took a seat. Jugo and Karin were a bit nervous.
The breakfast had a tense atmosphere as Sasuke was eating while glaring at Itachi. It didn't stop until Mikoto karate chopped his head.
"Ah! Mom, what are you doing?!"
"Eat first. Stop glaring."
"Tch."
Even though he clicked his tongue, he listened to Mikoto and stopped glaring. But then, they all heard jumping sounds from the stairways.
"Dadadadadadada~" x9
9 sounds were all humming a tune with "dadada" as they jumped down step by step. Akihiko quickly left his seat as he appeared in front of the stairs.
As soon as the kids saw him, they all jumped towards him. All the mothers panicked for a moment before they saw Akihiko who finished putting the kids back to the ground.
Ayako pulled Akihiko's legs as Himeko tugged Ayako's shirt. The other kids continued as they formed a human train.
"Let's go, Papa!"x9
Akihiko also started walking slowly as the kids were following happily. They all reached the dinner table as the mothers held them up and put them in their seats.
"Good morning, everyone!" x9
They greeted everyone as Sasuke and Naruto smiled.
"Good morning."x17
Everyone else replied while Itachi didn't even know why he was replying. The kids started eating their food as Akihiko placed a plate in front of them.
"Hehe, how was your trip, brother?" Himiko asked as she pointed at Sasuke.
"It was fun."
"I see. That's good."
Kyoko then spoke. "Himiko, stop. We can't talk while eating."
Everyone was looking at them thinking they were too cute while Itachi was confused.
'Brother? I-If she's calling Sasuke brother, then I should be her brother. Then, Mom would be her mother – Wait, I might be overthinking.' Itachi was thinking as Akihiko patted his shoulders.
"She's cute right?"
*nod*
"She's my daughter."
Itachi's brain stopped working for a second and he started eating his food slowly as he was thinking about the situation.
They all continued eating. The tense atmoshphere at the dining table didn't fade as Itachi was once the enemy of Naruto and Sasuke and he was now eating breakfast with them. After they finished their breakfast, they all sat in the living room.
Shizune whispered to Akihiko's ears.
"Akihiko, Lady Tsunade asked for you to come to the office today morning. It should probably be now." She said as Akihiko nodded.
"Sorry everyone, Tsunade is calling for me at the office." Akihiko said as almost everyone nodded as a sign of approval.
He disappeared with Shizune as the kids said they wanted to go and play with the bears and cat. The mothers nodded as they decided to leave Mikoto, Sasuke, Izumi and Itachi alone.
However, Izumi also followed them as she said, "I have nothing to do with him."
"Mom, do you want to see why he did all of that? I already saw all of it but I still hate him." Sasuke said as Itachi just smiled wryly.
"Yes."
Sasuke showed Mikoto a genjutsu. Even though he hated Itachi, he showed Mikoto everything Itachi showed him without leaving a thing.
After Mikoto saw everything, she walked towards Itachi as she hugged him tightly.
Sasuke just clicked his tongue as he looked away. However, he said nothing.
After hugging Itachi for a while, Mikoto said, "We have lots of things to talk about ,huh?"
Itachi nodded as the two started talking with Sasuke throwing remarks from time to time.
-----
Akihiko and Shizune appeared inside the office as everyone in the room turned around. Jiraiya, Guy, Kakashi and Tsunade.
"Oh, he's here. Kakashi, for your request, as long as you can guarantee that she won't betray the village, she can stay here."
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade. If she betrays the village, I'll… kill her with my own hands." Kakashi said as Tsunade nodded.
Guy patted Kakashi's shoulders as Akihiko asked.
"So, what are we discussing about?" Akihiko asked as Tsunade nodded.
"I guess I should start the important discussion. Do you think we should hunt down the Akatsuki before they grow too big? According to the information given by Deidara, everyone in the Akatsuki is a kage-level powerhouse."
"So, what do you all think?"
"Just hunt them down. They are gathering the tailed beasts, which means that they will attack Konoha for the Nine-Tails. Attack the enemy before they can attack us." Akihiko said casually as Jiraiya also nodded.
"Although Akihiko's reason is a bit reckless, I also agree with his idea. But we will have to plan the teams carefully or else it will be our loss."
"I also agree, Lady Tsunade." Kakashi voiced his opinions as Guy also gave a thumbs up.
"I also agree. We should let our flames of YOUTH explode and fight the Akatsuki!"
"*sigh* Alright, thanks. You can go now. Shizune, can you go and call Shikaku and Shikamaru. We need to have a proper strategy." Tsunade said as Shizune nodded and walked outside of the office.
Kakashi, Guy and Jiraiya all also walked out as Jiraiya started teasing Kakashi about Hanare.
"Tsunade."
"Hmm?"
"Don't stress yourself too much. Just come to us if you need to talk with anyone." Akihiko said as he patted her head.
"Tch, stop patting me." Tsunade said but she was smiling.
"But thanks Akihiko."
'Ah. I'll have to slowly increase her affection.' Akihiko thought as he reached for a pocket in his pants.
"Ah, Tsunade, I have something to give you."
"Eh? What is it?"
Tsunade had money signs in her eyes as she thought Akihiko would give her lots of money.
Akihiko quickly showed Tsunade a finger heart.
He then disappeared as he thought, 'That was cringe as fuck but it should work.'
Tsunade slammed the table as she shouted,
"Damn it! I thought it was something important! Mah heart! Mah soul! Mah money!"
She thought that it would be money or at least a bottle of sake.
"What the hell was that anyway? The fuck? That finger only looked like a.... heart?" Tsunade short-circuited for a second before she shook her head.
"Nah, it shouldn't be. I'm just overthinking. With his personality, he definitely did it to irritate me! He knew I wanted money!"
After a while, she calmed down as Shizune came back with Shikaku and Shikamaru.

"Samui, we are close to reaching Konoha."
"Yes, Yugito-senpai."
