After what felt like weeks had past, Chris had woken up. The first thing that he saw wasn't the ceiling, but it was Sakura still playing with his hair.
After the third day, Chris’s body was now in a stable condition, which is why Sakura played with his hair, while his head rested on her lap.
Sakura noticed that his eyes were locked in hers, and she felt very embarrassed because she got caught doing something embarrassing.
However, only one word surfaced on her mind.
“PERVERT!!!” (Sakura) yelled out enough that everyone on this island heard her.
*SLAP!* as a reflex, she slapped Chris on his cheek and send him flying out of the bird house. Al’s house, was completely destroyed.
Chris couldn't help but think: ‘She was the one who was playing with my hair while I was asleep. So how am I a pervert?’
Luckily for Chris, he couldn't feel pain, but there was a red hand mark on his left cheek.
Sakura realized what she had done. She was supposed to be taking care of him, and yet she slapped silly.
Chris landed on some tree that broke his fall, not too far away from Al’s house. He didn't know what to think right now.
“Chris. I am so sorry.” (Sakura) quickly ran to help Chris up. She couldn't believe what she had just done.
“I'm all right, Sakura.” (Chris) couldn't help but touch his cheek where Sakura slapped him, and it felt very warm. Just how much strength did Sakura apply to that slap?
“Please, let me help you up.” (Sakura) supported Chris with her arm, as she helped him walk over to Al’s house, even though part of it was destroyed when she sent Chris flying back with a great force.
Chris tried to stand up by himself, but Sakura wouldn't let him as she was worried for him. Chris was fine now, but Sakura felt guilty for what she had done to him,
“I didn't mean to do that, sensei. I swear.” (Sakura) apologized to her sensei, as if she had done an unspeakable act.
“It's fine, Sakura. In fact, you're not the first one to sent me flying me through a building.” (Chris) he is talking about the time when Hinata launched him through a wall, a while ago. And also the time when Kat punched him when he trained her.
“Oh. I don't know how to respond to that.” (Sakura)
Sakura gently laid Chris on the floor on top of a few blankets. Lucky for her, almost everyone was busy settling in this place, or else everyone would have heard what Sakura had just done.
“Stay here, everybody wants to see you again.” (Sakura)
She wasn't able to look at Chris after what had just happened, so she made the excuse to fetch Luna and the others, to tell them that Chris had just woken up.
Everybody was praying that Chris would wake up soon, as they are worried for his well being. This is not something that they would expect to happen to Chris. Not only that, but he almost died, again.
Chris only saw her figure running away, and couldn't help but notice that even Sakura had her cute side.
Chris stared helplessly at the ceiling, made out of nothing but ranches and leaves, just like a bird nest or something.
Ever since Chris fell unconscious, he could still hear what had happened around him, he even knew that the alien had taken his Kekkei Genkais from him, which was a terrible blow for Chris.
Chris had three days to think about it, and he is acting cool about it. However, he was wondering how the others would react when the see him without his super awesome, overpowered, Kekkei Genkais.
“Bluescreen, are you there?” (Chris) asked.
…
Nothing happened.
“Blue screen, are you okay?” (Chris) asked once again.
… still no answer:
Hm. Weird. Usually, bluescreen would always answer to Chris.
Chris stood up, and checked his own chest for the wounds that the mother alien had caused him.
He saw a wound that resembled a lot like a beast’s claw. However, since Sakura and Tsunade had taken care of him, the only thing that was left was a huge scar:
“That alien was indeed terrifying, but it left me with a pretty cool looking scar. Hehehehe.” (Chris) couldn't help but chuckle at his own comment.
“It's like what they say, chicks like scars. But then again, Luna would not like this scar, as it would remind her that I almost died.” (Chris)
Chris didn't want to make this into a huge deal, as it is not the first time he almost died.
“Onii-chan!” (Hanabi) yelled out loud as soon as she saw Chris sitting up. As if she had just forgotten that Chris had almost died, she launched herself at him and couldn't help but cry in his chest.
Chris was focused so much on his thoughts, that he didn't notice three pretty girls had entered the house.
“Sensei!” (Hinata) ran up to Chris’s side, and hugged him tightly, as if he would die if she were to let him go from her embrace. She too couldn't hold in her tears, as she saw her sensei in full health.
“I thought I told you two to not hug Chris, as he is still healing. But, what the heck.” (Hina)
Hina snuggled herself between the girls, to hug Chris as well. This looked more of a family hug, like a mother and her two daughters came to visit their sick relative.
Feeling the warmth of their bodies, and the joy they felt when they saw him, Chris felt happy and extended his arms to hug the three girls in front of him. It felt nice to be loved.
“My, my. You already woke up, and the first thing you do is take advantage of pretty girls.” (Kat) couldn't help but tease Chris as soon as she saw him.
Hina only smiled and let go of Chris. Hinata did the same, but had a huge blush covering her red face. She was too excited to see her sensei alive and well, that she didn't notice the others.
Hanabi didn't care what people would think of her, she continued to hug her Onii-chan.
“Kat Senju, if you want to hug Chris as well, then you're more than welcome to.” (Hina)
“Who would ever want to hug him.” (Kat) only gave a pout at the thought of hugging him. Even though he almost died, she still held a grudge against for getting her wet several times during training.
Even though she thought of this, she still likes Chris a lot.
“If you ever decide to chase after him, Kat. My niece, Hinata, will not go down without a fight.” (Hina) said as she gave a small mischievous smile.
“AUNTY!!!” (Hinata) yelled out to her aunt in embarrassment. Hina made it sound like she was pursuing Chris because she liked him, not to mention that Luna and Chris are in a relationship.
“Hehehe.” (Hina) chuckled a bit. To be fair, she only said this because these three girls were in a bad mood for the past few days.
Hina was very worried about Chris as well, but there was no use crying over him, as crying won't help his injuries. So Hina thought of livening up the mood a bit, so everybody felt better.
Right now, nobody was more happier than Hanabi, as she didn't even eat or do anything because of the injuries that Chris received.
Hanabi blamed herself for not noticing Chris’s injuries, as she had his blood all over her when she hugged him. She thought of herself as a bad sister.
But, looking at her Onii-chan alive and looking well, her sadness all disappeared.
Chris smiled at this atmosphere. This room was filled with nothing but love.
“Chris!” (TenTen) came out of nowhere, and also hugged Chris, not even caring that Hinata and Kat were there.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
Chris reached out his other arm, and welcomed TenTen with open arms. He could tell that he wasn't the only one who suffered here, as everyone here was dead worried about him these past few days.
Although he felt happy that they did miss him, he also felt sad that he made them worry so much.
Soon, Luna, Naruto, Tsunade, Sakura, Al, and even Akamaru, came here to look at Chris.
They were all doing something else, which is why it took them so long to reach the news about Chris.
Almost everybody gave Chris a tight hug. The tiny bird house was now cramped with so many people inside it.
This news eventually reached Itachi's ears, and he too came for Chris, but with a different purpose than everyone else.
Once Itachi entered the small room, everybody didn't make a sound anymore. During these past few days, Itachi and Tsunade had been in charge of taking care of everything and everyone. You can tell just how their perspective of Itachi changed so much.
Itachi was the only one here with the rinnegan eyes, and he can see the aliens that were underneath them. Even though those aliens have been out of their reach, they have attempted several times to bring down this island.
Itachi was like a very important guard dog. If it weren't for him, then maybe they wouldn't have made it alive for three days straight.
Itachi didn't do this alone, as Isabella and the Phoenix king had something to do with it as well. Itachi suspects that the man in the blue robe, also helped behind the scenes, but for some reason Itachi can't seem to find him.
“Chris. There is something you need to know.” (Itachi) said as he stared at Chris.
“Brother, can't this wait?” (Luna) said. Luna thought that Chris had done more than enough for them, and he should take a few more breaks before Itachi envolved him with stuff.
“I can't guarantee that the aliens won't attack us in the next few minutes, so no, Luna, this can't wait.” (Itachi) said sternly as he looked at Luna.
Luna took a few steps back as she looked at the ground. These past few days, Itachi has been very stern with everybody, especially with his family. Luna knows that he is worried for them, as they could all die at any minute.
Itachi felt like Luna wasn't taking this seriously, and that is why he was worried for her. If she didn't care for her own life as much as she has to, then she won't make it far in life. He doesn't want to see one of his family members die… again.
“Itachi, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of everybody else. There is no point in keeping secrets anymore.” (Chris)
Itachi only closed his eyes, he then added.
“Very well then. You should know that Minato Namikaze isn't Naruto's father.” (Itachi) started with this topic.
“Oh… that's surprising.” (Chris) couldn't help but to take another look at Naruto. If Naruto is not the son of Minato Namikaze, then why does Naruto have his looks?
When people heard this, the news barely surprised them. It's clear that they were already told about this beforehand.
Chris could still hear his surroundings, but he was not there when a lot of stuff happened.
“Fan Uchiha is the father of Naruto.” (Itachi)
“...what?” (Chris)
I started to scratch my head and trying to think what the hell was happening. It's one surprise for Minato to not be the father of Naruto. But for this Fan Uchiha to be the father of Naruto, that's another thing.
“This doesn't make any sense. If Naruto is an Uchiha, then why hasn't Naruto shown any signs of waking up his sharingan abilities?” (Chris)
If Naruto was really an Uchiha, then he would have woken up his hidden abilities long ago. This is getting more and more confusing.
“I asked Tsunade to run Naruto a blood test, but here is the weird part: Naruto does indeed possess an Uchiha bloodline, but it’s all messed up.” (Itachi)
After the fight with the aliens, Itachi took a sample of Naruto's blood and had Tsunade test it. However, there were things that didn't make sense about his blood.
“What do you mean messed up?” (Chris)
“Tsunade says it is as if someone or something intentionally changed the blood of Naruto.” (Itachi)
“Is Naruto in danger?” (Chris) I didn't like the sound of that.
“No.” (Itachi) shook his head. “His blood is indeed scrambled, however it is not dangerous.” (Itachi)
“That's good to hear. But, what kind of changes were made into Naruto's blood?” (Chris)
“We are not too sure, but it seems that Naruto does possess Uchiha, only that his sharingan abilities had been forced out of his system.” (Itachi)
“Meaning?” (Chris)
“That no matter what happens, Naruto will not be able to unlock his sharingan abilities.” (Itachi)
I actually thought it would have been worse, but that literally changed nothing about Naruto.
However, what kind of person or machine is qualified to take a person’s power like that? Aside from the mother alien.
Naruto didn't feel anything at all. However, he was at least glad to know who his parents were. Well, no one knows who actually Fan Uchiha is, but at least he knows his father's name.
“There is still something that everybody needs to know, Chris.” (Isabella) walked inside the bird house. All the attention was on her now.
“Itachi told me what you told him. Something about a blue screen.” (Isabella)
“Wait, does this somehow include how you know so much about us, and our abilities, and other things that no one else should know?” (Luna) said.
Itachi only trusted a few people, such as Karen and Isabella. He thought that this news should be told to everyone directly from Chris.
“We all need to know Chris, as it could help us find this Fan and to kill the mother alien.” (Hina) said this time.
Everyone looked at Chris, they were very curious about his secrets.
With everybody’s eyes on him, he had no choice but to tell them everything.
“Okay, I will tell. All of you take a seat, some of you might not be able to handle the information.” (Chris)
Since there were no chairs here, they had to sit on the floor, that was filled with branches and leaves. I bet some of them had a stick up their ass, literally speaking.
“Let me start by how I got here. It all started a few months ago...” (Chris)
And just like Itachi, he had to tell them about the Naruto anime, and bluescreen.
And just as Chris expected, some of them had trouble believing this story, while others couldn't take it and had to sit down.
“You're saying that this Fan Uchiha was transported to this world like you? How come you didn't tell me?” (Itachi) said out loud.
Chris even told them what he knew about Fan.
“I didn't have time, Itachi. Even I was unaware of it until the aliens attacked the
village.” (Chris)
He was gonna tell Itachi about this, since he had been chased by Fan for quite some time, but Chris didn't have any time to inform anybody else.
And besides, it's bluescreen’s fault for not telling Chris earlier. Nobody understands why bluescreen won't tell say anything.
(I'll tell you why: spoilers.) author’s notes.
“Sigh… fair enough.” (Itachi) understood and just let it go.
“However, this does get us more leads to follow. But, if Fan Uchiha was really a citizen of Konoha, then why can't any of us remember him?” (Isabella)
“I remember that the mother alien said that it has something to do with this Rei guy.” (Itachi)
“What do you mean by that?” (Chris) found it weird that no one even knows who Fan Uchiha is, but he wouldn't connect that to this Rei person, as there was no connection between the two of them.
Or is there…?
“I had a few days to think about it, but I suspect that somehow most of us knew who this Fan Uchiha is, and were even friends with him. This Fan must have fallen in love with Kushina, Naruto's mother. And he is responsible for other stuff as well.
However, somewhere along the way, this Rei erased our memories of Fan Uchiha. I don't know for what reason.” (Itachi)
“Even if your thesis is true, that doesn't explain a lot of things. Such as why is Naruto's blood as messed up, and who this Rei is, and why the mother alien wants to kill Chris.” (Isabella)
“I know that, but who can I ask? Nobody even remembers Fan Uchiha, and nobody here but that man in the blue robe is strong enough to fight against the mother alien.” (Itachi)
“Man in the blue robe?” (Chris)
“I'll tell you about it later. But who can help us?” (Itachi)
“Actually… I think I might know somebody who can help us.” (Chris) I said.
Everybody turned their eyes to me, unsure if they heard me correctly.
“Who?” (Itachi)
“I think it's time for Naruto to meet his fath- I mean, I think it's time for us to summon the fourth Hokage here.” (Chris)
“What do you mean?” (Isabella)
“Give me just a second.” (Chris)
‘Bluescreen, I need you here now.’ Chris thought.
Hey! You're not dead. Good for you. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
Enough with the jokes, and please tell me you can get my stuff out of my Kekkei Genkai, and bring it out here.
I am not quite sure what you mean?
Before the mother alien took my Kekkei Genkai, I placed Minato Uzumaki in my space inventory thingy.
Uh… ahem. First, your ‘space inventory thingy’ was never a part of your powers, it was actually my own system that lets you carry stuff with you. I am surprised you didn't realize it until now.
But I thought that… it doesn't matter. Can you bring out Minato Namikaze out?
Sure, sure.
And another thing, what the hell have you been doing all this time?
Heheheh. Secret.
…
----------------------------------------
Ah just kidding, I'm gonna tell you. I am on my quest to get my harem!
What…?
Since I have a shit ton of harem rings, I gotta make use with them. And what's a man without his harem.
Again with your sexist remarks. Don't turn this story into a wuxia novel.
(I swear that almost every wuxia novel is either racist and/or sexist, but usually racist.)
Anyways… that is what I was doing, I was getting a harem.
Any luck?
…
Bluescreen?
No… not a single girl wants to be in my harem.
I actually feel bad for you. (Not really)
Do you mind if I take TenTen with me?
You stay the fuck away from her!
... she's not even in your harem, so why are you so protective of her?
Just bring out Minato Namikaze out.
Fine.
Thank you, and good luck with your harem gathering.
What resembled a lot like a cadaver wrapped in paper appeared before Chris.
He covered Minato in these binding papers because he was giving Chris a hard time when he fought the alien.
“TenTen, could you help me with this.” (Chris) since the alien took his chakra away, he can't even apply a simple seal anymore.
“Hm.” (TenTen) gave him a firm nod.
She got on her knees, and applied a complicated set of hand seals to unlock the seal that Chris implanted on Minato.
Seconds later, the paper started to unbind itself. And inside was Minato.
“Why do you have his corpse?” (Hina) asked Chris. It reminded her when she fought the Kages and Sasori a few days ago.
“Long story.” (Chris)
Minato opened his eyes, which are the eyes that one has when they have been reanimated.
He stood up from the floor to scan the whole area. His eyes locked onto Naruto, and he said in a casual tone.
“You're Kushina’s son, aren't you?” (Minato)
Naruto didn't know what to say. Nothing popped out of his mind, because he thought that Minato was a walking zombie. He is literally the only one who could be thinking of something that stupid in this situation.
Then again, this is Naruto we are talking about.
“I can feel the power of the nine tails inside you, so there is no mistaking it. You're the son of the women who I loved and also died for.” (Minato)
