Those Bounds

007

Kakashi's

"What's your decision, Hokage?" Shikamaru with full of respect.

It was after Ino's Shintenshin no jutsu. They were now guaranteed about who they are dealing with.

Naruto did not ponder facing Shikamaru and speaks of his plans automatically. He seems to know what he is doing, he knows it will be done immediately by his underlings. A firm judgement. He talks as if he's well aware and used to the crowd's ears.

Naruto changed his tone.

"Sai, tell your ANBU to call their families immediately and let them be enlightened by the situation. Ask Konohamaru to lend the field investigation to his cousin and report here." He sedately commanded.

After hearing such bareness of his voice and being near his grasping aura we are left still and perplexed by this new side of him. I've seen him serious before but this older Naruto pulled a Hokage card underneath his sleeve and left us in awe.

Younger Naruto turned his head, looking around as if to get any of our reactions too. He was shocked.

"Tell me. Tell me, I'm not the only one who heard that. Right?!" Aggressive whispers. Thank God, he's not yelling or we'll be kicked out here.

Sakura smacked him. "Shut up," aggressive whispers.

Sai positioned his hand for a sign and so forth disappeared. Swirls of noticeable air played around where Sai was.

"Sakura, check them all outside. Take the wives." He spoke another order.

Gai and I had quick eye contact. Aren't we gonna talk the incident out? The travel?

Sakura nods, shifts her feet and walks towards our company. She had grown exquisitely fine, I see.

"Do any of you happen to have injuries? Come, follow me outside." Sakura asks her younger self kindly. She politely guided us to the door when one had yet answered her.

"Teachers." An unfaltering call from a hoarse voice roared before our ears. It was Naruto. He did not yell but damn...

Undoubtedly he wants us to stay for the Otsutsuki happening we have to speak about.

We were about to follow them although we are reluctant thinking that we haven't got to talk about the important part of the incident. I'm hungry and exhausted, good thing we're starting with this already.

Sakura's emerald eyes bid farewell to me, she bowed her head a little.

Wah... I can't believe this. I didn't even have a chance to respond. Witnessing Sakura develop her beauty to how it is now. And the strength of a hundred technique? Sakura's sporting a forehead like the Fifth's. What happened in the future?!

And seeing, feeling Naruto bearing such power and authority. They have matured now. I could never be more proud. Sai, director of the Anbu. And they're parents now too!

I wonder where's would our Sasuke be? The two made it happen? Did they make him come back?

"Sensei..." Lee, crying his eyes out looking at his teacher Gai.

Our kids are looking at us with obvious confusion and worry.

"Don't worry. If you sense something's off don't hesitate," I whispered. Volume was quite qualified to enter their ears.

Round plump faces gushed with determination because of what I just said. "Yosh." Some chorused.

Although it was exciting for Naruto and Kiba.

God! For my love of Master Jiraiya's Icha icha Paradise, please, don't let them think of something stupid.

"We're going to discuss matters don't worry. So long, Youth! Be goo— no, be great!" Gai comforted the kids as they walk past. Tapping some of the youngster's shoulders.
