Akihiko’s wood clone came back to Konoha with Kisame and Samehada in his arms. He arrived at the Uchiha Household as he met with Deidara.

“Eh? Boss? Aren’t you asleep?”

“Nono. You’re not boss. The feeling is different.” Deidara whispered to himself as he hit his fist against his palm.

“I see. You’re a clone. Well, Boss is asleep.” Deidara said while a voice rang in the Wood Clone’s head.

‘You can place the two in a seal. You can draw a seal right? I am trying to take a nap with my wives. You can disperse. And thank you for your help, Wood Clone #001.’

‘It’s fine. You are the original. It’s our duty to be loyal to you.’ The Wood Clone just replied as he walked away with the two and started working on a seal to keep the two in check.

Deidara looked at him weirdly before he went back to the lab. Nagato was staring at the clouds while Konan was eating cookies.The three bears and Nyanta were still guarding the kids.

After the clone finished, he dispersed. Before he dispersed, he wrote a report to the original and left it near the seal where he captured Kisame and Samehada.

{To Original:

Kisame Hoshigaki and his sword, Samehada, were captured successfully. The woman named Yugito Nii was also saved.

The mission was a success.

From-Wood clone #007.}

Obito was breathing heavily as his eyelids were about to close. His body was in extreme conditions and needed emergency help.

A mixed(black and white) Zetsu appeared near him from the ground as he asked.

“What happened to you, Obito?”

“Strong. They are very strong.” Obito just muttered as Zetsu carried him.

“I’ll quickly bring you back to the hideout. We still have some Hashirama cells and we can use White Zetsus to merge with your body and create new arms and legs for you. Together with Hashirama cells, don’t worry. They will recover fast.”

“Thank you, Zetsu.”

“Don’t worry. You can sleep. I’ll take care of you.”

Obito trusted him and closed his eyes.

However, just as Obito went to watch My Little Pony in his dream, Zetsu muttered to himself.

“Just as I thought, he’s quite useless. Only Uchiha Madara is useful, but I still have to bear with this incompetent Uchiha. The plan is about to be successful. Mother is going to be back again.”

Meanwhile, Obito’s journey in the My Little Pony world came to an end, as his mindscape turned gray.

A shadowy figure asked him.

“Did you get the Rinnegan?”

“Yes.”

“But at what cost?”

“Some sacrifices but they are all not worth mentioning.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“You managed to get the Rinnegan but you’ll never get Rinagain because Rinegone.”

At first, Obito was confused since Rinnegan, Rinagain, and Rinegone were similar but then he finally knew the meaning.

Suddenly, the scenery changed as he saw Kakashi penetrate Rin over and over again with the voice repeating, ” You managed to get the Rinnegan but you’ll never get Rinagain because Rinegone.”

[1 hour later]

Akihiko woke up as he looked around. His wives were still sleeping as he smiled. He then thought, ‘I’ve been a little too serious today, huh?’

He was a bit anxious about the fight between Obito and his wives even though he knew that they would easily win. And indeed, they did win easily.

He was ready to intervene as soon as they were in danger.

He continued looking at his wives one by one and then heard someone whispering outside the door.

“Big Sis Konan said that Papa and Mama are all sleeping inside.”

“Yeah, we shouldn’t disturb them.”

He teleported outside as he arrived behind his kids. The kids were standing near the door while Hina was pressing one of her ears against the door.

“Mhm. Don’t worry. I’m just trying to listen if Papa is awake.”

“I’m awake.” Akihiko whispered as the kids all turned around with shocked faces.

“H-how?!” They asked as Akihiko just replied.

“Magic.” He also moved his hands away from each other.

“Teach us! Teach us!” The kids shouted with enthusiasm as Akihiko gave them their deserved head pats.

“In order to learn it, you have to be proficient in fuinjutsu. I’m sure you are learning the basics from Kushina, right?”

“Oh, Papa, is fuinjutsu part of the art class?”

“Art class?”

“Yeah, we get to draw things.”

Akihiko laughed as he nodded.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“I like drawing!” Hina said while Ayako, Himiko and Renge agreed.

“I don’t like it.” Kiyomi said as Akihiko asked her.

“Then, what do you like?”

“I like learning about genjutsu. It’s fun!”

“I like playing with animals!” Kyoko shouted as she raised her right hand.

“I want to be an archer when I get older!” Akiko said as the other kids were puzzled.

“Archer? What’s that? Is it delicious?”

“Archer is someone who uses a bow. But a bow is not usually used in fights between ninjas.”

Mirai then answered after thinking for a while, “I just want to have fun.”

“I-I like sleeping.” Himeko answered as they all laughed.

“D-don’t laugh!” She said as Akihiko rubbed her head.

“Haha, sorry, sorry. Then, sleep more, okay?” Akihiko said as Himeko nodded.

“Yes.” Himeko answered as they all now looked at Akihiko with hopeful eyes.

“Mm? Is there anything Papa can do for you?” He asked as the kids replied together.

“Yeah, we want to play in the world behind the door!” The kids were excited and they started explaining using their hands, facial expressions about how fun that place is.

“Sure. But we have to return within 3 hours, alright?”

“Yes, Papa!”

Akihiko’s eyes spun around as he used his ability. A door appeared as the kids happily pushed it and jumped in.

“Konan, do you want to go in too?” Akihiko asked as Konan was still shocked from the door appearing out of nowhere.

“Konan?”

“Yes.” She answered as Akihiko pointed at the door.

“Then, please, go in.” Akihiko said as Konan walked over. She suddenly tripped over nothing but Akihiko was ‘coincidentally’ there to help her.

“Be careful.” He said as he helped her stand straight. Konan walked through the door as Akihiko called for the bears.

“Gurizu, Panda, Aisu.”

“Yes, Boss?”x2

“Time to go to the other world. Play with the kids and keep them safe.”

“Yes, boss!” They jumped through the door. The cat Nyanta was left in the house. Then, a door opened.

It was the door to Akihiko and his wives’ bedroom.

“Dear.” He heard a voice and then several other voices followed.

“Were you going alone with the children to play in the separate world?”

“It’s not fair! We also want to go there too!” They said as they also walked towards him.

“Well, my beautiful wives were sleeping soundly so I couldn’t bear to wake you all up.” Akihiko said with a smile as his wives also smiled.

“You and your glib tongue.” Mikoto said as she gave a peck to him on the lips.

“Honey, don’t you think you should give us an “apology”?

Akihiko smirked as the wives also smiled seductively.

They went through the door and Akihiko also followed. Then, he stopped near a seal where his clone left.

In there Kisame was still unconscious and Samehada was trying to break the seal by bumping against it. However, the seal trapped the two of them in a black color cube where the insides are all black without any light going in.

Akihiko took the letter and read it.

‘Hm, good job, Wood Clone #001, I’ll give you a better role. From now on, you’ll be Wood Clone #007. You got a promotion.’ He said as he nodded to himself. He then walked through the door.

The door then disappeared.

Itachi finally came back from his food adventure around the village of Konoha.

‘Mm. I didn’t get to eat these for a long time. Haha, those are all my favorite childhood foods and snacks. But sadly, the old grandma around that corner passed away. Her store sold very delicious steamed dumplings.’

Itachi thought in his mind as he was reminiscing about the past.

He continued walking back home as he was humming a tune. Sadly, he was tone deaf and even his tune was… out of key.

“Hmm, I think that tune was pretty good.” He muttered with a smile as he stopped.

He saw a familiar grey-haired man sitting on a bench.

‘Oh, I should go and greet him.’

He walked over as he said.

“Hello, Kakashi-senpai.”

Kakashi turned towards Itachi and replied with a proud look in his eyes.

“Yo, Itachi. Itachi, meet my girlfriend, Hanare. Hanare, this is Itachi.”

‘Girlfriend? Impossible.’

“Nice to meet you.” Hanare bowed and greeted Itachi.

“Kakashi-senpai, please don’t lie to me.” Itachi said as Kakashi was speechless. Hanare giggled.

“Bruh.” Kakashi said as Itachi continued.

“I’ll trust you, Kak- *cough*” Itachi suddenly closed his mouth as he coughed out black blood.

“Itachi!” Kakashi exclaimed as Itachi moved his hand away from his mouth.

“Kakashi-senpai, can we talk alone?”

“Alright. Hanare, can you return to the house alone? I’ll come back later.”

“It’s alright, Kakashi.” Hanare said as she said farewells and left.

“What’s wrong, Itachi?”

“Well, Kakashi-senpai, let’s go back to my house first. Let’s talk there.”

Kakashi helped Itachi and they walked back to the Uchiha household. After they reached there, Itachi sat down on a chair as Kakashi sat on the opposite.

“Well, I have an incurable disease. And, I will probably die in a few months if I’m lucky. If I’m not, well, I’ll be able to live for a month and a half. Maybe shorter.” Itachi answered as Kakashi nodded.

“Aren’t you going to tell it to Sasuke? Or Mikoto-san?”

“No. I will probably tell them later on, but not now. I just want to make some happy memories before I die.”

*Big SIGH*

“Fine.”

“Kakashi-senpai, can you keep this as a secret? Please don’t tell anybody.”

“Alright. Does Akihiko know about this? Probably not, huh?”

“Uh, he does know about it.” Itachi replied as Kakashi was thinking for a few seconds.

“Well, it really must be incurable, huh? For him to not do anything.”

“Anyway, Itachi, I’m leaving. If you need someone to talk to, I’m here.” Kakashi said as he patted Itachi’s shoulders and then dashed away.

“Ah, I’ll just eat some cookies.” Itachi muttered as he went and searched for a cookie jar.

—–

Inside Akihiko’s dimension, the kids were now rolling on the grass, splashing around the water near the lake, trying to catch paper butterflies that Konan made for them.

“Wah! It’s so fun!”

“Roll, roll, roll, roll.”

“Nobody can deflect the Mirai Water Splash!”

“Ah! It’s cold!”

“Revenge time!”

“Aisu, run, run!”

“Gurizu, catch!”

There were several sounds of the kids playing but they also knew the rules. They didn’t break them.

“Ah, where did Papa and Mama go, Big Sis?” Hina asked Konan as Konan replied with a pink hue on her cheeks.

“They are doing important stuff. You cannot disturb them.”

“Okay!”

Meanwhile, inside one of the rooms in the house.

“Dear, do you like what you see?”
