147 After math

Hiro let out a breath and looked at the group in the distance. He couldn't reverse the Infinite Tsukuyomi, only Naruto and Sasuke could, funnily enough. He grabbed Madara and dragged him to the ground before throwing him in front of Hashirama and sitting down on the ground.

The Tailed beasts were freed and complete Kurama went back with Naruto, Gyuki stayed with Killer B and the rest left.

Sakura and Isabella ran over and smiled at Hiro saying "You were so cool!" Hiro smiled and Hagoromo appeared saying "You really killed her. I wasn't expecting that." Hiro replied "Hey. You finally showed yourself." Hagoromo gawked before closing his mouth and shaking his head.

Obviously, Hiro wasn't in the mood to chat.

Hagoromo told Sasuke and Naruto to undo the Infinite Tsukuyomi but Sasuke had other plans. He went on about a plan before leaving to fight Naruto at the Valley of the End. Hashirama and Madara shared their final moments before they, along with Tobirama and Hiruzen, disappeared and died.

Minato and Kushina were still alive and discussing something together.

Sakura ripped the Chakra rod out of Hiro's shoulder and healed his injury, although it didn't need any healing. Hiro smiled and patted her head, making her smile happily. Though she looked worried.

Hiro smiled softly and said "Go, they're at the Valley of the End." Sakura immediately ran away and Hiro added "Make sure she doesn't interfere with their fight please." Isabell gave him a thumbs up and Mittens flew her away, going after Sakura.

Kakashi came and sat down next to Hiro, exhaling, having lost his new sharingan. It was really on and off for Kakashi today. Hiro pulled Madara's shadow and kept it saying "Rough time, eh?" Kakashi replied "You can say that again."

Hiro chuckled and patted his shoulder, giving him back Obito's EMS. Kakashi sighed "I'm not even surprised." Hiro smiled and said "I'm so capable, that you just expect this?" Kakashi replied "Not capable, just incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if you created another planet or something." Hiro laughed and said "Maybe, I should do that right now? We can migrate there, you ready?"

Kakashi clicked his tongue and said "Give me a break..." Hiro laughed and Hagoromo stood next to him. Hiro blinked and gave him the Jutsu scroll saying "Can you put your Chakra into this?" Hagoromo was confused and put his chakra inside the scroll. The entire thing suddenly turned gold and then it changed.

The middle turned black and the borders turned white. The string was gold and on the black there were white tomoe.

[Congratulations! You've filled the Jutsu scroll! Reward: Sage Body upgrade!]

[Sage Body > Six Paths Body]

Hiro got 6 black tomoe on his upper chest in a big semi circle. The scalera on his eye went under his eye and on the outer sides, the top was uniform and pointed. It didn't change much but it looked much cleaner.

He cracked his neck and a truth seeking orb appeared over his palm. Hagoromo shook his head and sighed. Kakashi just sighed and said "That's crazy." though he said that, he looked completely unsurprised.

Hiro manipulated the orb into various shapes and said "This is pretty cool." he floated it to Kakashi and said "Try this. Maybe, you'll become a Six Path sage too!" Hagoromo's mouth twitched from the side. What was this? Did he think Six Path Sages were rocks on the roadside?

Kakashi touched the orb and his Sharingan transformed into Rinnegan. Hiro gawked and Kakashi sighed "Why did I listen. Honestly..." Hiro said "Touch it again, maybe you'll just become god." Kakashi said "No thanks. That sounds like a lot of work."

Hiro laughed and made the orb disappear as he said "You better be ready for a lot of work because I'm retiring. The next Hokag-" Kakashi covered his mouth and said "Don't." Hiro laughed happily and said with a muffled voice "You're the next Hokage."

Kakashi sighed 7 times in a row before saying "Alright, I'll be it for a year before retiring and handing over the position to Naruto!" he punched his palm and smirked. Hiro laughed and gave him a thumbs up.

Minato and Kushina walked over and said "Excuse me, can we have a word?" Hiro looked at them and nodded as he got up and walked away, leaving Kakashi to talk to Hagoromo.

Hiro looked at Minato and Kushina, who suddenly bowed and said "Thank you." Hiro was stunned and said "Eh?" Minato said "You treated Naruto like a son for all these years, we can't thank you enough." Hiro waved and said "It's really nothing. I had extra room in my house and he was there. I really didn't do anything."

He smiled lightly and the duo looked at him, they didn't say anything. Hiro added "Anyway, now you're back, you can take him off my hands. Haha!" he patted Minato's shoulder and walked away, finished with this conversation.

Minato looked at Hiro's back and Kushina said "He's lying." Minato sighed and said "Why do you think? He obviously wants Naruto to be happy." Kushina retorted "He doesn't have to remove himself from Naruto's life!" Minato put his hands up and sighed. Kushina was a bit angry if she was being honest.

Hiro didn't want to have Naruto choose between him and his real parents. He knew that Naruto would choose his real parents anyway. Not that he shouldn't, but Hiro felt sad about it. He even considered not bringing them back before, but he decided against it.

He wasn't that selfish to leave Naruto's parents dead so that he could have Naruto to himself. First of all, he loved Naruto like his own son. He wouldn't do that to him. He even had to stop himself from interfering when Kurama was being taken out.

In the end it was for nothing but still.

Hiro walked back with conflicted feelings. He looked at the Tree that suddenly started collapsing. He walked to Orochimaru and grabbed him, his eyes started glowing and he used Shusui's power printing 'Protect Konoha' in his mind.

Orochimaru blinked before hissing at Hiro saying "Bastard." Hiro grinned and said "Glad to have you on the team." Orochimaru slapped his arms away saying "It better be a grand lab." Hiro grinned "Only the grandest." as Orochimaru walked away, extremely angry.

Hiro chuckled and went back to Konoha, flashing away.

He went under the village and made a new underground area, away from the Anbu facility. He created a giant lab space that was also a home. Hiro made all the equipment and computers for Orochimaru to use, before making a tunnel that lead to a hidden place for the entrance. He made the locked door and flashed back to Orochimaru, grabbing him, Suigetsu, Jugo, and Karin, planting the same words on the other three's brains.

He gave them all the password and did the same thing he did with the Anbu before leaving them to the lab. Orochimaru clicked his tongue and left, Karin, Jugo, and Suigetsu followed him. Hiro smiled and went back into Konoha, going to Teuchi's ramen shop and eating by himself.

A while later

Hiro was still eating, thinking about something, when he was hugged from behind. He looked and it was only one arm and it was Naruto. Hiro said "Hey, kid." Naruto hugged him as tight as possible with one arm and said "Thank you, dad." Hiro paused before saying "I'm not your dad."

Naruto said "You'll always be my dad." Hiro froze and dropped his chopsticks, he turned around and hugged Naruto tightly. Naruto's tears stained Hiro's shoulder and Hiro rubbed his back. They separated and Hiro grabbed the air, revealing 2 metal discs.

There were special Nano-arms. They were made with a merged metal of Chakra Metal, Vibranium, Uru, Adamantium, and the Dragon metal his bones were made of. He chopped his arm off to make these. Good thing they grew back.

It was a merge token merge so the Metal was basically indestructible and compatible with all forms of energy. It also gave a power boost. Hiro held Naruto's nub and twisted the disc on, he said "Think of your arm." Naruto obeyed and a new sleek metal arm shot out, Naruto was stunned and wiggled his fingers saying "It's the same!"

Hiro smiled and said "Think of anything." Naruto's fingers turned into chopsticks and Hiro explained "Whatever you think of the arm can become, it's also compatible with chakra. Obviously, no living things." Naruto returned his arm to normal and hugged Hiro saying "You're amazing, dad." Hiro smiled and said "I know."

Naruto chuckled and Hiro handed him the second one saying "For Sasuke. Also, bring him to this address." as he gave Naruto a piece of paper and touched his ear saying "He's coming." Naruto left and went to find Sasuke.

Hiro watched him go and wiped his eyes of their tears, Teuchi grinned and said "Hokages can cry too?" Hiro laughed and said "Shut up, Teuchi." Teuchi laughed and Jiraya walked in, wrapped an arm around Hiro's shoulder saying "Never thought I'd see the day! Hahaha!"

Kakashi came in after him and added "I almost cried, myself." Guy ran in saying "YOUTH!" as he shed tears from his eyes profusely.

Minato and Kushina peeked in from outside and smiled gently.
