Chapter 132 - Dream
Akihiko opened his eyes as he was ready for a new day. However, what he saw was not the usual bedroom he was in.
He was currently in the place where his daughters usually played. The sun was shining brightly and Akihiko looked around. He smiled but then found out that something was strange.
He had no shadow. He looked at his own body as it was almost transparent.
'Am I dead? Nah, it's just a dream. A lucid dream.' Akihiko thought.
He was seeing a group of kids playing together. He could recognize all of them. They were his daughters after all. They grew taller and still looked very cute.
'Of course. My daughters are the cutest in the world.'
The kids continued playing and then rested. They talked to each other.
"We played lots of different games. Only Airplane is left." Kiyomi said as she soon had a sad expression. All the other kids also went into silence as they were also sad.
After a while, Hina talked.
"We played this a lot with Papa before."
"Yeah." Ayako replied.
"We last played it with Papa a year ago."
'They probably got bored of it.' Akihiko thought as he patted the kids' head.
Then, they went back into silence while the mothers were looking for them.
"Mama, we're here!"
Akihiko looked at his wives who still looked the same.
"Did you have fun?"
"Yes, Mama."
"That's good."
Renge suddenly tugged Yugao's clothes as she asked.
"Mama, why didn't Papa return? It's been a year already."
Hearing that, Akihiko was stunned.
'1 year? Abandoning the family? No. That's something I will never do. Then, what is it? The Otsutsukis? Did I fail in killing them? After all, I was planning to go there after everything is over.'
"Your Papa is busy with something very very important. That's why he couldn't return for a year."
"Like saving the world?" Akiko asked as she tilted her head.
"Yep, saving the world."
"Don't worry about your Papa, he's really strong. Nobody can defeat him."
"Yeah. Because of Papa, nobody died during the war." The kids nodded as they remembered something.
"That's why you don't have to worry."
"Mm. Yes!" The kids nodded. Hina was suspicious but she believed in her parents too. The kids returned back to the house.
'War? If the war is already over, it should be the Otsutsukis?' Akihiko thought as he was getting serious. He still didn't believe this dream but he should be more cautious with his plans.
"Sasuke, Naruto, Itachi. Come down." Kushina said as the three jumped down from the trees.
"Haha, we couldn't hide from you."
"You think you can hide in the trees? The tree cannot hide your bodies."
"Hehe." Naruto rubbed the back of his head.
"But yeah, Akihiko will return, right?
"Yes. He will."
Akihiko, who was listening, looked up at the sky.
'What really made me go away for a year?'
Just as he was questioning himself, the scene suddenly changed. He was in front of his own physical body.
"He" was fighting against a huge white figure who had bright blue lines running through his body. The huge figure had three blue eyes on his head. Originally, he would have looked majestic but the current Otsutsuki God already had some bruises.
They both were covered by a dome that had several huge eyes staring at "Akihiko."
In the dream, Akihiko started talking.
"Otsutsuki God, you are strong. You are the strongest opponent that I have ever fought with. But I think I can kill you in two hours. If I were not here, you would have been the strongest person."
The so-called Otsutsuki God was not a real god. He is simply the most powerful existence among the Otsutsukis and no one could match him, just like how Hashirama was called God of the Shinobis.
The Otsutsuki "God" started talking without a mouth.
"We have been fighting for 2 and a half minutes. Every second that passed here, 260000 seconds would have passed in the real world. By the time we finished the fight, 60 years would have already passed in your world."
"Once you get trapped inside here, the only way to get out is by killing me. That's another story if you didn't get trapped here but you were too careless because of your arrogance. I already sealed most of your abilities. I only need you to use more abilities so that I can seal even more of them. Then, you will die."
"*sigh* I didn't want to use this because it would be too boring. Subete o Kiruha." Akihiko said as a miniature Susanoo appeared around him. Suddenly, a blinding light covered everything.
Akihiko was very thankful for this advice given by the Otsutsuki God.
'Even if this is not real, thank you. When I come to kill your Otsutsuki Clan, I will kill them and you without delay. Even if I can kill you just like now, a whole year without my family? Nope.But because I am thankful for your advice, I will repopulate the Otsutsuki Clan for you, with Kaguya. '
[PR/N: Smut when?? ]
And abruptly, he woke up from his dream.
"Ugh." He groaned but then smirked.
"Dear, why are you smirking like you have an evil plan that early in the morning?" Yugao whispered as she was staring at Akihiko.
"I just had a dream. And yeah, good morning, Yugao." Akihiko said as he smiled at Yugao.
"Mm. Good morning." She whispered back.
"Good morning!!!" Kushina was energetic even when she just woke up. The other wives also woke up as they stared at Kushina with blank eyes.
"Hehe, sorry."
"Good morning."
They all woke up, brushed their teeth, washed their face, took a bath and went downstairs.
"I'll make breakfast today." Akihiko said as he tied the strings of the apron.
"Then, we'll go and wake up everyone else in the house." The wives said and soon, they left.
[20 minutes later]
Everyone gathered in the dining room. There was now a new separate table in the dining room which was a lot larger than the previous table because there were more people.
The kids were wearing napkins around their necks as they were holding their own spoons. The mother was also sitting right in front of them.
Sasuke, Naruto, Karin, Itachi, Jugo were sitting right next to each other while the three bears were also waiting for food while watching Kisame.
Konan was sitting beside Renge as Renge was the closest to her.
After a while, Akihiko finished cooking. Everyone went and took their share of breakfast. For the kids, the adults helped bring the food to them.
"Itadakimasu!"
They all started eating breakfast and they didn't talk much while eating. Table manners are important.
After eating, they all started talking.
"Today, we will be going on a trip." Akihiko said as the kids became excited.
"Where? Papa, where will we go?" They asked while everyone else was listening attentively.
"We're going to the moon." Akihiko said as he pointed his finger towards the sky.
Hearing the almost impossible words, a single word was said from all of the people who heard what Akihiko said.
"What?"
"Akihiko, you're joking right?" Naruto asked as he thought that the idea was ridiculous.
"Nope. We're really going to the moon." Akihiko said with a slight grin.
"Akihiko, even if we are really going to the moon, is there really a way? It's so far away from us." Kurenai asked.
"There is indeed a way. Earth and the moon are connected by a portal in the Land of the Snow." Akihiko explained as everyone was surprised. They haven't even heard a single story or myth about it.
[a/n: I don't know where it is. I just remembered that the place is snowing a lot in Naruto, The Last Movie.]
"So, let's go to the moon." Akihiko said as the kids first shouted.
"Let's go!"
"It will be very very very fun."
"Fine. Let's go." The wives were quite excited about the trip. Shizune was a bit sad since she had to remain in Konoha.
She was the secretary of Tsunade and if she left Tsunade alone, Tsunade would probably be overwhelmed by the paperwork.
"*sigh* I can't join the trip. I have to help Lady Tsunade." Shizune said with a sigh.
"You could just ask for a day off." Anko said as Shizune thought about it.
"Mm. Right. A trip to the moon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I will ask for a day off." Shizune agreed.
Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto all agreed. Konan also joined in since she also wanted to see what it was like on the moon. Karin and Jugo wanted to stay inside the house in the beginning but with everyone's persuasion, they agreed.
"I have to go back to Sunagakure." Temari said as she was also later persuaded to delay it.
She decided to go back the next day, early in the morning.
Gurizu, Panda, Aisu, Nyanta also decided to join in together with Kisame. So, the whole house was going on a trip to the moon.
"So, let's meet again in one hour. You can finish everything you need to do before going to the moon." Akihiko said as everyone agreed.
Most of them didn't have anything to prepare but they brought extra clothes and some other essential stuff. Kurumi also finally came out in her small fox form. She hasn't come out for a long time as she was planning for something very important.
-----
Shizune went to Tsunade's house to ask for a day off. It was still early so Tsunade still haven't gone to the office.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Lady Tsunade, are you awake?" Shizune asked.
"I'm coming." Tsunade replied before opening the door. She just woke up 10 minutes ago.
"Oh, Shizune. Come in and talk." Tsunade said as Shizune entered the house. Afterward, they sat and started talking.
"Lady Tsunade, you look happier than before." Shizune commented as she noticed Tsunade's change.
"Really?" Tsunade asked as Shizune nodded.
"Yes. Really."
"I see. I see." Tsunade nodded and then continued to ask.
"So, what are you here for, Shizune?"
"I wanted to ask for a day off." Shizune said as Tsunade thought for a minute. Then, she answered.
"Sure. You didn't ask for a day off for many years already." Tsunade said as Shizune was happy.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade." Shizune then left.
Tsunade closed the door and went back to bed. She looked at her pillow and moved her mouth closer.
"Was it like this?"
-----
Ayame went to Ichiraku's to tell Teuchi about the trip. Teuchi just gave a nod and a smile and said.
"It's a good opportunity. Have fun."
"Thanks, dad." She then left.
"The view in the lake and the view from the moon is quite nice. How nostalgic. I went there with Ayame's mother." Teuchi muttered and at the end, he had a bit of a sad tone.
-----
Hinata, Ino and Sakura all arrived at the Uchiha Compound and they chatted with the mothers and Temari. Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi were all wearing drippy clothes.
Later, Shizune and Ayame also returned.
And now, everyone was ready for the trip.
"Now, let's go." Akihiko said as he wore his Dark Side Cloak in a flashy way. He already had his Black Ring with Golden Carvings on his thumb finger, the hairband that his daughters gifted him.
Everyone disappeared from the house at the same time.
