Foul Love (Sasuke x OC)

55

'Honestly, I missed the odd man,' is all I can think as the tailed beasts appear around us. We seem to be in a cave, like the one I was in when I first met with him.

"Who is this?" Sakura asks me in a not-so-quiet whisper.

Naruto heard her and answers for me, "This is Six Paths Super Gramps!"

More puffs of smoke scatter all around us, and the reincarnated Hokage begin to appear in different areas of the room.

"Welcome home you two," comes a voice. Naruto and I both turn to see our Dad smiling at us. It takes everything in me to stay and listen to Hagoromo instead of running into his arms.

The Sage begins to speak once again, "Yes, you are back in your world through a summoning performed by all prior Five Kage together." He then looks to three of us specifically, "Naruto, Madevila, Sasuke, and the rest of you, good job sealing my mother. You've went above and beyond any expectations I had for you."

Kakashi intercepts, "Are you the legendary..."

"I am Hagoromo Otsutsuki."

The souls of people I don't recognize begin to speak.

"It seems like everything went well."

"It's the first time I've seen so many Tailed Beasts together in one place!"

"The Sage of the Six Paths, eh? You're probably the only person who could perform such godly actions."

Hagoromo speaks once more, "That truly was the work of Gods."

For a while we all keep up this banter, and Hagoromo just keeps congratulating us on our work. After lots of this nonsense, Naruto and I head over to Kurama.

"I missed you!" Naruto shouts as we run over to the orange fox.

As soon as I get there I cross my arms and turn away from him. "Are you ready to stop being such a jerk!?"

"ME?! LITTLE GIRL YOU'VE BEEN NOTHING BUT A NUISANCE!" Kurama yells back to me.

Besides me, Naruto lets out a laugh and I face him. "What are you laughing at idiot?!"

"He called you little girl," chuckles Naruto. This earns him a bonk on the head from me, causing all the tailed beasts to laugh. This makes Kurama even more angry.

"You did miss me, right Kurama?!" Naruto shouts up to him.

Kurama clenches his hand in a first, "Don't talk so loud! I wasn't lonely!"

"But this is exactly what I had once envisioned!"

I let Naruto have his moment with Kurama, since he's obviously the favorite, and I head over to Sasuke who's talking to Hagoromo.

"What is Madara's body doing here?" Sasuke asks the man.

I make my way over to them and give a smile that he doesn't return with his teeth, but with his eyes.

"Madara was a jinjuriki, even if temporary," Hagoromo answers, and I watch as Hashirama heads over to the corpse of his old best friend. "Behold, the end of your predecessors, you two should watch it carefully."

After listening to their goodbyes, tears form in my eyes. I don't know why I'm getting so emotional today, but seeing the end of so many friendships make me long for my own. All I want right now is to hold Naruto in my arms, and keep him safe forever. He doesn't need my protection though, does he? He went and got all strong when I wasn't looking, probably even stronger than me. After fighting alongside him, I just wish I could have been there with him this whole time.
