Uchiha Hikari leaned forward for a kiss, but Sasuke expertly dodged out of the way. Shocked by her husband's unusually cold deanour, Hikari imdiately activated her Sharingan to check him for the Transformation Jutsu, surprising Sasuke in turn by revealing herself to be a pure-blooded adult Uchiha.
"Your arm!" Hikari gasped, covering her mouth with her hands. "Co in quickly, let's have that looked at…"
Hikari grabbed Sasuke's arm and dragged him into the living room, where half a dozen children of varying ages were playing with their toys and video gas.
"Go get your mothers, Kaori, Kokoa, Inori," Hikari told the three oldest. "Sarada, go fetch the first-aid box in the bathroom…"
As he watched his children jump to their feet to obey Hikari's instructions, Sasuke began to feel the onsets of a headache. How many wives did he have in this harem? And just how many children had they given birth to!?
"Yay, it's papa!" the younger children cried out happily. "Tell us another story about your adventures!"
A few seconds later, three breathtakingly beautiful won ca down the stairs, their long hair ssy and their skin looking rather flushed and sweaty— evidently, he'd just caught them in the middle of an intensive workout session.
"No fair," pouted one of the youngest children. "I wanna play pro-wrestling with Mama too!"
The first woman down the stairs, Sasuke recognised as his old partner from Team Hebi/Taka— it was the red-headed Karin, who was still just as terminally flat-chested as ever.
The second woman, Sasuke recognised as a slightly bustier version of Yamanaka Ino. He knew she'd once pined after him, but he'd always ignored her advances. As far as he knew, she'd quickly given up on him after his defection from the Leaf and married so ex-Root bloke. He had no idea why she'd instead be married to him in this tiline, though…
As for the third woman… Sasuke could already feel his blood rushing to his nether regions with just a single glance in her direction— it was his wife, his beloved Sakura. Her breasts were much bigger than they had been in the past, but they had sohow maintained their youthful perkiness. And with her taller and curvier figure, Sakura's bust no longer made her look like she was constantly on the verge of toppling over. Motherhood had widened her hips and rounded out her lower half, causing her sex appeal to shoot through the roof…
"Welco ho, dear," said Sakura softly. "Would you like dinner? A bath?"
"Or perhaps…" the three wives chorused, "us…?"
Sasuke felt his head go blank, as the three won took him by the arm and guided him up the stairs to their bedroom.
Even if Boruto had ceased to exist in this tiline, even if his little sister Himawari had never been born… Sasuke felt that perhaps, it would be worth it to just let things stay this way…
"This isn't the ti for that!" shouted the fourth wife Hikari, her face flushing bright red. "In case you haven't noticed, our husband is missing an entire arm!"
A distant mory flickered to life in Sakura's head.
It had been years since she had last thought of the other world where she originated from— the place where her parents and her older sister still lived, the place where she had once watched the ani known as Naruto…
In that ani, a lot of things had gone a lot differently, but in this tiline, Sasuke had never left the village and lost his left arm fighting a pointless battle against his true love, Naruto. After giving up on revenge, he had decided to focus on restoring the Uchiha clan, one woman at a ti…
After the war, Uchiha Sasuke had beco just as much a hero of the village as Naruto. And with his hero status combined with his good looks, won had fallen over themselves for the opportunity to carry his elite genes, and as a result, her Sasuke had beco sowhat of a playboy…
On top of having children with his four legal wives, Sakura, Karin, Ino and Hikari, he had also produced one offspring with every single woman renting out a house in the New Uchiha District… it was part of the lease agreent!
Sakura didn't mind having to share her husband with all of these won— because they were just as much hers as they were Sasuke's!
-------------------------------------------------
While Sasuke was rediscovering the joys of marriage, Boruto had gone straight to his house— and to his relief, he had found his mother Hinata and his little sister Himawari waiting for him at ho at the door. Thankfully, they hadn't been wiped from existence by his little jaunt through ti.
"Where were you, Boruto?" Hinata chided him. "I told you to co ho early because of our guests! It's not every day your Uncle Neji cos to visit!"
Boruto goggled at her.
"Uncle Neji?" said Boruto in confusion. "Isn't he, er… dead?"
Hinata sighed.
"I know things were touch-and-go for a while, but I've never wanted Cousin Neji dead," she said. "Now co on, our guests are waiting."
Hinata ushered Boruto into the dining room, where Naruto was busy entertaining their dinner guests; Neji, Tenten, and an unknown boy that looked about his age.
"Ah, before you hit ," said Naruto hurriedly, as he watched his son entering the dining room, "I'm the real Naruto, okay? I definitely won't disappear if you punch , ya know! So don't do it!"
"Yo, Boruto!" the boy greeted him. "It's been a while."
…
"Er…" said Boruto, scratching the back of his neck in embarrassnt, "What's your na, again? It must have slipped my mind, ya know…"
"That's our cousin Natsu, Big Brother," said Himawari sweetly. "Did you hit your head, or sothing?"
(Natsu sounds like nuts, Neji ans screw in Japanese, Boruto is a JP way of saying bolt. Nuts, screws and bolts— they're all fasteners! In case you didn't know, Naruto and Hinata had given their son the na Boruto to honour Neji's sacrifice)
"Ehhh!?" exclaid Boruto in surprise. "I think I'd know if I had a cousin, ya know!?"
"If you keep pretending not to know ," said Natsu patiently, "you're going to hurt my feelings."
Boruto finally began piecing the clues together— apparently, Neji had survived the Fourth Great Shinobi War, and he had married Tenten, which ant that…
"Then," Boruto blurted out. "What happened to tal Lee?"
"tal Lee?" said Tenten curiously. "Our old teammate from Team 3 is called Lee, but I don't think he's got family of any kind…"
In the original tiline, Tenten had ended up sleeping with Lee in her grief over the loss of Neji, after which she had ended up giving birth to tal Lee. However, after Tenten experienced a bit of postpartum psychosis, Rock Lee had ended up getting full custody of their son.
In this tiline, with Tenten happily married to Neji (and with Sasuke hogging all the won), there naturally existed no woman depressed enough to consider sleeping with Bushy Brows, so he had never ended up having a son; and thus, tal Lee had been erased from existence, and a new person had taken his place…
"I need to go," said Boruto abruptly, his face paling.
"What's the matter?" asked Naruto in concern.
Boruto raced out of his ho and into the night, but what happened next is a story for hundreds of chapters in the future…
