Chapter 83 - 76: The Arrivals From Another Dimension 1 (2/2)

”Now that everybody knows what really happened, at least I think you've all guessed what happened, we will now decide when we will execute Danzo. And release Itachi for the crimes he didn't commit!” Hikaru said.

Shikaku then sighed and said, ”Seeing that there was enough evidence against Danzo-san over here, there's no choice other than to execute him. If Orochimaru was alive, we could've kept him as prisoner to interrogate him about the whereabouts of that snake but Orochimaru is already dead, courtesy of Hikaru-san over here. The time and date of his execution will be tomorrow, and I'll have to inform the Feudal Lord about this. Troublesome, sigh.”

”That's fine then, oh, and yeah, contact every Major Village to make a Five Kage Summit. A war is on the horizon, turns out, Kabuto didn't really die when I beheaded him. He can use a piece of himself to regenerate over time, at least that's what Nagato told me. Since he had mastered the forbidden jutsu, Edo Tensei, he can resurrect various powerful shinobis to do his bidding, like the Shodaime.” Hikaru said.

”What!? The Edo Tensei Jutsu has been mastered by someone outside of our village?!” Shikaku reacted almost instantly.

”Just do what I told you, everybody will just take care of the rest. I've had my fun, now it's time for me to leave.” Hikaru said lazily, it's no fun now that Danzo is already done for. But he has another reason for leaving, that is visiting his old friend's grave.

”W-Wait!”

Hikaru then vanished.

”Tch, troublesome. Do all of you really have to put all of this on me?” Shikaku complained, since he's basically acting as a Hokage right now.

(Half an Hour Later)

”I'm really sorry, old man. I had to do what I had to do, Danzo was getting more bold as the time went by. I know he's your friend and all but he's not who he used to be, you should've known that when you were alive. In fact, you once told me that he tried assassinating you while you went out in the Forest of Death. I hope you can understand, if you can hear me that is.”

Hikaru talked to himself as he laid his back against the gravestone of Hiruzen. He had a bottle of alcohol with him, drinking while he talked to himself.

He was grieving this way, everyday since he learned of Hiruzen's death. He can resurrect him in perfect health but there's one question in his mind, ”Would he like to live again in this horrible world?”

Hiruzen had seen countless things in this world while he lived. Whether they may be bad or good, the point is, he has had enough of everything. He'd just like to rest from now on, a peaceful yet endless slumber.

Now that he thought about it, this is the first time he had lost someone. Someone precious to him, an old friend.

”I think I can understand now why immortality is a curse. I hate… this feeling. I feel so empty, sad, angery, and helpless. I have danced with death countless times yet I've never felt this before.”

”Is this the pain of losing someone?”

” I thought that I could just revive everyone who had died, just messing with death all the time. But I guess, this is the reality of things.”

”I wonder, what are the feelings of the ones before me? Anger? Sadness? Bitterness? Guilt? Despair? Or just, everything?”

Partly, he wanted to get back at Danzo for doing all those things behind Hiruzen's back.

In the end, no matter how much you want someone to live, they will just choose death. Because death can relieve you of everything, once you have experienced all there is.

But, will Hikaru ever have the ability to die? Or, will he forever live in this timeless land?

Only time will tell.

But his destiny, his fate, is still hidden deep within the sea of mystery.

There is so much untold of his story, and this is all just the beginning.

So, are you ready?

(Somewhere outside of Konoha)

Two figures silently walked in the forest. One was short and the other was tall.

The short one had spiky blonde hair, two whisker marks on each side of his face, a headband with the Konoha's symbol in it, and bright blue eyes. He wore a black tracksuit with a fire symbol on the left b.r.e.a.s.t, a symbol that resembled a bolt in the back along the sides of his pants. He kept his tracksuit unzipped and inside of his tracksuit was a white t-shirt with a bolt tied to a string around his neck.

”I told you to hide your headband, we can't let it be seen by the people in this dimension.” The older one said to the younger one.

”Fiiiiine.” The blonde haired kid took off his headband and put it inside his pocket.

”There, you happy now?”

Bonk!

The older one lightly chopped the blonde haired kid's head with his hand and said, ”That's now how you talk to your teacher!”

”Ow!” The blonde haired kid rubbed his head due to the pain.

The older one is a handsome man with his dark hair covering the left side of his face completely. He dons a black cloak over his body, and inside, was a long sleeve shirt with purple lining over it and long black pants and leather shoes. He also has a katana on the left side of his waist, the blade was covered by a sheath.

”Hai, hai, Sasuke-sensei!” The blonde haired kid yelled.

”Shut up, Boruto. Others might hear you, and from what I've seen, it seems like this dimension's Konoha had been attacked by someone.” Surprisingly, it was the older version of Sasuke.

”Curse that Urashiki, if only he hadn't done that, we could've gone back home!” Boruto muttered complaints under his breath.

That's right, in a last ditch effort, Urashiki managed to send them to another dimension at the expense of his life. Now, the two of them are left to figure out how to travel back to their home dimension, or Naruto will be left to fend off the enemies coming for him on his own.

'Just wait there Naruto, I promise I'll be bringing your son alive!' Sasuke said inside his head.
