World I
Naruto led the teenager through the village where the Sharingan was. "Why did you do it?" he asked. He had calmed down from initially wanting to kill the boy once he saw how terrified the poor kid really was.
"It was an accident, Hokage-sama," he answered quietly. "I did not mean it."
"Why were you creating an artificial Sharingan?" Sasuke asked.
"It's a long story, sir," he answered. "You see, my hometown is small, and we are in debt from a larger village. We were unable to pay back the money we owed them, so they started taking our crops instead, leaving us without enough food to feed everyone. I'm an inventor, you see, so I decided to try to invent something that I could sell." He fidgeted as they walked. Sasuke was glaring at him for even thinking about selling his clan's abilities.
"And?" Naruto prompted. He wanted a reason as to why his children had been taken from him.
"I created the first one, but it didn't work. Finally I had a working one, and I was traveling to search for Uchiha Sasuke in hopes to get some insight about how it worked."
"What's the point of it?"
"I had studied the war and Obito was said to have the ability to enter different dimensions. I was fascinated by this, and realized that if we could enter into these realms, we could build prisons there where people can be rehabilitated without the fear of them escaping. I wanted to sell this technology to Blood Prison." He smiled. "Before I came here, I wanted to do one more experiment, but I was sure it had failed. I didn't know the kids were there," he assured them quickly.
"Angry and distraught over my failure, I threw the thing away, only to return a couple days later in order to find it, but you had beat me to it. I went back to my village to create another prototype and was traveling through the Land of Fire when I overheard that Sasuke was back in Konoha. I was pleased, so I hurried here. In a café this morning, I heard some people talking about how the Hokage's kids were missing and the only clue they found was a metal Sharingan. I rushed here as soon as I heard!"
Naruto sighed. So it hadn't been anything malicious. Despite his words to Hinata, he wasn't too thrilled at the idea of killing anyone, even if they were the ones that kidnapped his kids. "You say this technology works, then?" he asked.
"It must. There is only a small chance that they did not survive the journey to the other dimension. I had already run experiments on mice and they went to and came back from the other world without any complications."
Naruto breathed a sigh a relief. "Good. Now, let's get them back. They're probably frantic... where ever they are..."
World II
Sarada tried to listen intently to the brothers as they spoke. Apparently, Boruto and Himawari were part of the contract that Obito had signed with thee Hyuuga when power had been transferred; which meant getting them back would be a problem. Itachi had sent someone to the Hyuuga compound to let them know of the negotiations that would be happening soon for the children's release. They hadn't sealed Himawari as of yet, but that didn't mean they wouldn't. Their message hadn't been met with hostility, but the longer this went on, the worse Sarada could see it going.
She sighed and rested her head on the long table. Wouldn't it just be easier to go there and get them out? She hardly understood the politics of this and wasn't quite sure how sensitive this really was. In her world, there were no Uchiha to cause such anger and hate... They were all dead.
