To Another World || A Naruto x Demon Slayer Story

+1 || We Meet Again

Kagaya Ubuyashiki

"Surprise! Happy birthday Master Kagaya!"

Five years have passed since the disbandment of the Demon Slayer Corps. Today marked my 29th birthday and the members of the corps are still in contact with each other, at least some of them are. Right now, I was walking out of my house when my wife and children surprised me with a birthday cake along with Kyojuro, Giyu, Shinobu, Mitsuri, Obanai, Tengen, Sanemi, Gyomei, Muichiro, Tanjiro, Nezuko, who's now human, Zenitsu, Inosuke, Genya, Kaigaku, Shinjuro, Senjuro, and the girls from the Butterfly Estate.

"Wow! What's the special occasion?" I asked.

"Huh?" Tengen was the one to reply.
"It's your flamboyant birthday, Kagaya. That's the occasion!"

"I know that much, but, you didn't go this far last year, and the year before that, and the year before that, and the year before that."

"W-Well, that's... true." The then-Sound Pillar said.
"We don't really know, we just decided that we'd do this this year."

"I understand. Thank you very much, all of you." I thanked while bowing a little bit.

Also, if you haven't realized, we're now addressing each other with our given names and not our family names anymore.

"Anyway, how many of you are here right now?" I questioned once again.

Kiriya started counting everybody, excluding me, for a moment.

"There are 28 people, Father."

"That totals to 30!" All of a sudden, a voice came from my left and everyone else's right. There were two familiar people from the direction of the voice. People that we hadn't met for five years. Behind them was a swirling portal that quickly vanished.

"Narutooo! Sasukeee!" Everyone suddenly ran towards the two, me included.

"You two remembered." I said which sounded like a statement more like a question.

"Since the event we had five years ago, we've always remembered it. We just never had the time to actually visit." Sasuke explained.

"Oh? Why is that?" I asked.

"Sasuke tends to travel to really far places a lot, while I'm now the leader of my village, ya know!" Naruto spoke this time. The people beside me 'woahed' in amazement from the fact that Naruto was the leader of his village.
"Anyway, it's good to see that you all haven't changed all that much." Naruto continued.
"Except you, Nezuko. I'm glad to see you're human again."

Nezuko seemed to have not remembered the two from her days as a demon.
"Big Brother, who are these two?" She whispered to Tanjiro, even though it was still quite loud.

"Oh, this one is Naruto Uzumaki," He said while pointing to the blond-spiky-haired person.
"and this one's Sasuke Uchiha." He pointed to the black-long-haired person.

"I see. Good to see you again, Mister Uzumaki and Mister Uchiha. Although, I'm sorry for not remembering you two." Nezuko was back to her cheerful expression.

"It's okay. And, please just call us by Naruto and Sasuke." Naruto requested.

"R-Right."

"It seems you two haven't changed much either, Naruto and Sasuke." I stated back. This was true. Sasuke grew out his hair but other than that he still looked quite the same, even his clothing, while Naruto didn't wear a headband anymore. He also now wore a white cloak with red flame patterns on the bottom edge. The cloak was held connected by a red string on his chest area. Also, at the back has the writing '7th Generation Hokage'.

"Nice to know that we don't look older." Sasuke joked which was followed by a laugh from everyone else.

"By the way," Naruto suddenly said, focusing his attention to the people other than me.
"we're sorry if we interrupted the initial plan of the birthday celebration."

"Not at all, Naruto, Sasuke." Amane responded.
"In fact, this may have made it even better than we hoped it to be."

"Ahahaha! Is that so?"

And so, my birthday was celebrated with lots of cheers and laughter alongside the people that I truly love. When I was a kid, I couldn't celebrate birthdays this way due to being born in the family where our main goal was to defeat demons. Now, that the demons are defeated, I can actually spend the day with the people that I can call family and friends.

In addition to that, a little reunion in the middle of a birthday party can really lift up the mood.
