stuck in an alternate timeline or just a dream?? (Completed)

chapter 3 what is better?

Mitsuki woke up just as the sun rose, he always woke up early but this morning was different he had trouble sleeping but was feeling refreshed. He stretched and glanced around the room before looking down. Orochi was already gone but he didn't mind. He got up and made the bed then left the room. He could smell breakfast being made. "Good morning!" Ayame called to him when he entered the dining room. "Good morning." "I hope you are hungry." She set his plate down before Shirayuri joined him, she smiled at him making him smile back before they ate. "I'm sure you are eager to meet up with your friends but I wanted to make sure you ate before you left." "I appreciate your kindness thank you." Mitsuki voiced. "You are practically our family no need to thank me. Kabuto will walk with you to the Hokage tower." Ayame said as she drank her tea. Shirayuri talked with Mitsuki and he listened to the random things she said. He was fascinated by the information of snakes she knew. He even learned a few new things. She was chatty but not in an annoying way and it made breakfast better that he wasn't alone and had someone to talk to. Shirayuri seemed to enjoy his company as well. She wanted his opinion on things. Ayame watched the moment play out before her. It was like they were cousins catching up and it warmed her heart. Kabuto was still asleep. "I have to go meet. Koneko and Kenshi for training." Shirayuri said once she finished her food. She smiled at Mistuki and gave him a light hug before she left. "Bye Mom bye Mitsuki!" Mitsuki stayed quiet as he ate he had a small smile on his face. He was use to waking up in an empty house and buying breakfast before meeting his team, this was a whole new experience and he somewhat enjoyed it. Boruto, Sarada were like family to him in a way but not like this, "is this what it feels like?" He wondered aloud. "What are you talking about dear?" Ayame questioned with concern. "Nothing forgive me... I was talking to myself." He claimed Ayame gave a small smile "very well... What do you like to do most?" "I like reading, playing card games, and spending time with my cat friend." He replied. "Do you want to play a card game while we wait on Kabuto?" She asked. "I have a deck of cards around here somewhere." He gave a small nod yes and they played a quiet game of cards in the kitchen. Kabuto smiled at the sight and watched. Mitsuki glanced at him. "Good morning." "Morning Mitsuki. How did you sleep?" "Well." He replied then went back to his card game. Boruto didn't like card games but Sarada would play with him occasionally. Ayame seemed to like playing with him despite losing. "Can I have more scrambled eggs?" "Sure I'll make you some." Kabuto replied knowing they had time to waste, Naruto wasn't an early riser. Mitsuki smiled and leaned on the table. "What are you thinking about?" Ayame asked. "How nice this is. How nice you are." "This is how a family should be." Kabuto claimed. "Ayame and I are both very busy people but we would never neglect our children. They are older now and more independent but family time is something important to them." "We do things they want to do to spend time with them." Ayame claimed. Mitsuki gave a nod of understanding before Kabuto placed a plate of scrambled eggs in front of him and he joined the card game as well. It was a refreshing morning for Mitsuki one morning he hoped it would never forget. He hoped Sarada and Boruto had a good morning as well. He enjoyed his morning with Ayame and Kabuto. It was simple quiet but still nice. Kabuto finally ate breakfast then touched Mitsuki, "take a walk with me." He agreed and they left to walk in the woods. It was quiet at first neither spoke but soon Kabuto adjusted his glasses. "Orochimaru and I were close. He was my master for a long time. I enjoyed being with him. He was twisted but I excepted his views for my owns for a while but I found my own path eventually. I hope you can do the same." Mitsuki gave a nod. "I am finding my own way. Boruto and Sarada are helping me." "I am glad I have met you and I hope everything turns out in your favor." Mitsuki gave another nod but had no real words. He wasn't sure what to say, he just smiled and quietly walked with Kabuto before they left to go meet the others.

Sarada rolled over as she woke up and sighed before grabbing her glasses to put on before she sat up but she jumped slightly seeing the twins already dressed and ready for the day. Asahi sat behind Yuhi and brushed his long hair. She couldn't help but stare at first, Sarada wasn't use to really seeing anyone early in the morning let alone people grooming each other when she first woke. "Good morning." Asahi voiced. "You can go take your bath. We already took ours." "Okay..." She left the room awkwardly and walked to the nearest bath room but saw Ko. "Good morning Lady Sarada." "Oh... Morning uh Ko-San?" "Yes my lady?" He stopped and gave her his full attention. "What's with the twins...?" Ko couldn't help but laugh then quickly apologized. "I hope they didn't bother you. They are just close. Sasuke nor Hinata never neglect their children in anyway but having so many it is difficult to spend equality time with each but master Yuhi and master Asahi have always preferred each other's company over everyone else's, when they were little they would cry if Hinata or Sasuke tried to do anything with just one of them but young lady Hibana and young master Hidama are similar. they don't mind being apart but enjoy being with each other more so then their other siblings." "I see..." She adjusted her glasses and went to take a bath. She dressed in a robe afterwards until a maid brought her clothes. "your clothes have been washed. I hope you didn't have to wait long." She bowed and left allowing Sarada to change. She could hear young children running around. Sarada sighed it wasn't necessary noisy but she wasn't use to hearing children so early in the morning. She exited the bathroom and glanced around the halls were empty. She explored until the twins found her. "Its time to train." Asahi voiced. They led her to the outside dojo but to her surprise they left her. She was the only one making her feel awkward before Sasuke arrived. "Lets see what you can do." Sarada froze immediately unsure. "Asahi studied your training for me the other day. He says your Shurikenjutsu is perfect but you do not use Kenjutsu at all." "I use Taijutsu." Sarada claimed. "Does your father train with you at all?" He questioned. "Sometimes... He is gone alot... He has important things to do but he really loves mama and me! I doubted it at first but he does! They are connected because of me!" She claimed. Sasuke couldn't help but stare at her with a raised brow wondering if he should take her for therapy at the hospital instead of training. he couldn't imagine what would be more important than bonding with his children. The immature part of him could see why he'd avoid Sakura with him only being able to handle her in small doses or why only have one child with her but he still didn't think he should neglect his child as much. Sasuke sighed. "Very well..." Sarada picked a long sword and took a stance. "Can I ask... Why do you have so many kids? And how you ended up with Hinata?" "Hinata wanted a large family. The number didn't matter to me but all of my children symbolize something and I adore them all equally. I needed to get married after everything and settled down after the Shinobi war. I thought logically of the best choice for a wife and Hinata was that choice. It took time to woo her but she was flattered by the subtle attention I gave her. After learning how much we had in common and could help each other it only seemed natural to get married." He explained Sarada adjusted her glasses. "What do you mean symbolize?" "Sakiyuki is the Uchiha-Hyuga future her name means ahead or the future. Asahi and Yuhi mean rising sun and setting sun this not only describes their personality of being the same but opposite but it ties in with my clan and Hinata's Clan nicely. Nejireru is named in honor of his late cousin Neji. Hidama and Hibana name meanings both has to do with fire and fire release techniques are the Uchiha specialty. Shinsuke's name means gentleman or gentle assistance referring to the Hyuga fighting style. Minku is named in honor of my brother Itachi with Itachi meaning weasel and Minku meaning mink. Talk with me... How is your world how is your family life?" Sarada was surprised this Sasuke was more open and talkative though not a single word was wasted. "Okay..."
