Why had Karin, of all people, shown up at Sakura's parents' house? Had Adult Sasuke and Boruto really ti-slipped into a neighbouring reality's past!? But if this truly was their new past, then what would happen when they returned to the future…?
By the ti breakfast was served the following morning, Adult Sasuke had co no closer to having found any answers to any of these puzzling questions.
"Stare…" said Karin out loud, glaring suspiciously at Adult Sasuke, who was sitting across from her at the breakfast table.
Adult Sasuke had co up with a flimsy excuse the previous night as to why he wasn't the Sasuke that she knew, but he knew perfectly well that his words hadn't alleviated Karin's doubts, since he was extrely familiar with her powers. Her Mind's Eye of the Kagura granted her the power to track chakra signatures and sniff out liars by identifying minute fluctuations in their chakra!
He then looked at Sakura, who was busy gulping down the last drops of liquid from her bowl of miso soup. She didn't seem overly concerned about his secret identity— she had called him by his true na so often by this point that he had completely given up on pretending that his na wasn't Sasuke.
As Sakura was about to pick up a slice of pickled daikon with her chopsticks, soone knocked at the Haruno household's front door. Sakura's father shuffled off to answer the door, before returning a few seconds later along with Hyūga Neji.
"Lady Tsunade's ordered to gather the Genin," he simply stated. "We're to gather at the bathhouse to help clean."
"How did you know Karin was here?" asked Sakura suspiciously, since the only Genin in the house was Karin. "You haven't been peeking through walls with those eyes of yours again, have you?"
Boruto looked at his uncle Neji in disgust— his mother Hinata had told him all about her cousin's amazing deeds, but she had never ntioned the fact that he was a peeping tom…
"Lady Tsunade asked to bring you as well!" Neji spluttered. "Even Shikamaru and Tenten have to co, so please stop slandering the Hyūga clan!"
Unbeknownst to the rest of the Konoha Twelve, the reason they had to clean the bathhouse in the first place was because of a certain teacher-student pair.
After Sakura had parted ways with Naruto the previous day, he had gone to et with Jiraiya, but instead of training, they had gone to peep on the won's section of Konoha's bathhouse. The owner had caught them in the act and complained to the Hokage, who had managed to buy his silence about Jiraiya's perversions by offering to have the village's Genin clean his establishnt from top to bottom.
"I guess you two will have to co with," Sakura told Boruto and Adult Sasuke, as she got up from the table and wiped her lips with a napkin. "It's not as if you were actually planning to perform… or am I wrong?"
Boruto's and Sasuke's cover story was that they were travelling perforrs, but so far, they hadn't done much performing…
"No problem here," said Adult Sasuke emotionlessly.
As long as Naruto would be there with the rest of the Genin, he was fine with this arrangent.
"Well, I'm off to Kiba's," said Neji, as he turned to leave. "See you later."
And so, when they were done with breakfast, Sakura, Karin, Boruto and Adult Sasuke left the house and headed towards the bathhouse, but along the way, they ran across a certain young master of the Sarutobi clan…
"Oh!" Konohamaru cried out with that reedy voice of his. "It's Naruto-niichan's girlfriend, kore!"
And upon saying these words, he jumped into Sakura's arms and buried his face in her voluminous bosom with a perverted expression on his face, just like Karin liked to do.
"Oi, you perverted brat!" Karin fud. "Let go of onee-sama this instant!"
"It's fine, isn't it?" said Sakura, ruffling Konohamaru's hair affectionately. "He's just a kid."
When Sakura had used to be Tsutomu, in her past life back on Earth, he used to have a crush on his next-door neighbour, a real big sister type and one of his older sister's friends. Each ti she'd see him, the older girl would tease the poor Tsutomu by 'accidentally' flashing him her underwear, which had led to him becoming a perverted perpetual gooner… eventually leading to his downfall.
In any case, Sakura knew perfectly well that Konohamaru's intentions weren't pure in the slightest, but she didn't mind indulging the little guy. By having been given the privilege to reincarnate, Sakura figured she owed a cosmic debt to others like her, so she was just paying it forward!
Good karma, and all of that stuff.
"Who's the shrimp?" asked Boruto, as he watched Karin attempting to unlatch Konohamaru from her onee-sama.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! I'm no shrimp!" hollered Konohamaru. "My na is Sarutobi Konohamaru, and after Naruto-niichan, I'll be the next Hokage— quit pulling my hair, you violent woman, kore!"
Boruto goggled at the little kid— was this really his dignified big bro Konohamaru?
"Oi, you perverted brat!" ca Naruto's angry voice, as he sprinted towards them. "Let go of Sakura-chan this instant!"
"I was just saying hello, Naruto-niichan!" said Konohamaru innocently. "You have to believe , kore!"
Boruto watched on in disbelief as Naruto tried to prise Konohamaru out of Sakura's cleavage… only to end up with a faceful of boob flesh himself, which inevitably got him slapped by both Sakura and Karin.
"Please don't hit Naruto-kun too hard…" a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Boruto.
"Mum!?" Boruto spluttered, turning around to face the newcor. "Your eyes…!?"
For so reason, his mother Hinata no longer had her Byakugan. In their place was a pair of beautiful blue eyes— she really did look different in the past!
…
"You two…" suddenly ca a girl's low voice behind him. "No, it can't be… that's impossible…"
Boruto and Adult Sasuke turned around to face their interlocutor…
…and there stood Tenten, her pretty face twisted into a mask of rage.
"Murderers," she said hoarsely, her shoulders heaving with her every breath. "TRAITORS!!"
Without warning, Tenten reached for her throwing weapons pouch behind her back and retrieved a strangely shaped kunai, before flinging it at Boruto's head. Sasuke imdiately reacted and deflected the kunai by drawing his blade from beneath his trench coat, but in an instant, Tenten had warped through space and ti and teleported to the kunai, seizing it and bringing it down upon Sasuke's head.
"It's all your fault!" she scread. "It's all your fault!"
Sasuke twisted his body, narrowly avoiding Tenten's strike, but before he could even consider incapacitating the girl, Tenten's eyes rolled back into her head, and she collapsed, her body twitching uncontrollably.
"Lord… Seventh," she mumbled, before finally fainting.
