How did you get so cold?

Chapter 24 

"Finally" 

Sasuke stood stiffly, he knew what awaited him, but was he ready? Naruto entered the room, his posture was the same as usual, the expression on his face didn't indicate anything above the norm. And yet something did not suit Sasuke. His older brother stood smiling, turning one last time, gave him a smile and left, closing the door behind him. "Is Sakura home?"

"I'll call her!" from behind the back of the black-haired man emerged a black-haired girl with a smile on her lips. "I would be grateful, Sarada-chan." The man returned the gesture, and after a few minutes the three of them were standing in the living room.

Neither of them said a word, two of them weren't quite sure what to say, the last of them just stared at them. "Naruto, I am really very, very sorry. If I knew- " " Sakura, " he cut her off, he wouldn't have come here to hear a lame apology that wouldn't change anything anyway. "It's... it's not your fault." he said finally. He didn't blame her, at least not entirely, she was unaware. It was true that the two men kept their relationship a secret from virtually the rest of the world. They feared the reactions of the people, the reactions of the inhabitants of their village, of their friends.

"You had no idea, no one had. I can't... I can't blame you. " a smile crept on the lips of the blonde, it was not big, on the contrary, it was a small, faint smile, almost sad. The woman, too, smiled at the words of her friend, was glad. "How are you able to get pregnant?" this loftily joyful, in its own way, was interrupted for a moment by the man's cold voice.

"I am jinchuriki, you know that." he began. After all, it was difficult for him to explain something... so intricately incomprehensible. "Tailed beasts are sexless, in fact they are genderless. They can both fertilize and be pregnant." Was it hard to understand? Perhaps, it was certainly harder to imagine, but let's leave it out of the question. In fact, it was the reaction of the two to him that really cheered him up.

"Depending on the relationship jinchuriki has with his biju; whether he is hostile or friendly depends on the mixing of their chakra. The better their relationship, the more often they mix their chakras in more consciousness, slowly becoming one being,not literally, of course. If they literally became one being, it would mean that one of them sacrificed his life so that their chakras could fuse completely." whoever first said that the jinchuriki was one with the monster sealed in it wasn't much wrong.

Except in that case, it would be a humanoid creature with animal ears and tail and other distinctive elements, not to mention the possibility of assuming a form that is both completely human and completely demonic.

"So you want to say that..." Sakura began hesitantly. She didn't know how to put it, it was... confusing and crazy. "I have become whole with Kurama to some extent." the blonde finished for her, at that moment he was sure that he had never seen such shock on a human face, even when he explained everything to Shikamaru. "Okaa-san." A black-haired teenager entered the room, effectively distracting adults from what the blonde said. "Hima-chan, Boruto and Menma want to go home." he said calmly, not paying much attention to the other two. "I understand, in this arrangement we will have to end our conversation. I believe my explanations were sufficient for you. "

Sasuke felt an icy, piercing gaze that was watching him closely. He focused his eyes on the left side of the blonde, where the teenager was standing. The boy watched him carefully and, if you could kill him with a look, Sasuke would be already dead. "Stop staring." the blond man said suddenly, not even turning to face his son. The boy bowed his head and apologized, still keeping his eyes on the black-haired man. "Call Menma and Minato, I want you to have a word with your 'father' before we leave the village."
