“Thanks, TenTen.” Chris said after TenTen laid him down gently on a bed.

“No problem.”

Chris could just barely move his arms and legs. But, it wouldn’t hurt to lie down for an hour while his body gets healed.

At this point, Hinata was waking up. “What happened?” She asked after not recognizing the room she was in.

“Hinata, welcome back.” Said Kat.

“You were asleep for quite a while.”

“I was? Oh. Sensei, what happened to you?” Seeing the state he was in, she couldn’t help but check on him.

“I’m fine, Hinata. TenTen already started applying the medicine.” Chris answered with a smile.

Hinata didn’t say much. She just stood there with a blushed face, unsure of what to say next. She just almost confessed, and just when she thought that she was cured of her embarrassment.

“Chris, if I may say something, why didn’t you use your full power on that Zed guy?” Kat added after being left in the dark for a while.

“What do you mean? The maximum I can use is the 5th gate.”

“I didn’t mean that. I meant why didn’t you use your many other abilities. You still could have used your nature ability, fear skill. I am sure you have many other skills than that, right?”

Chris pondered for a moment, he had many skills but the majority of them are useless to him right now. But, Kat was right, he had other skills right now that he can use to give him an upper hand in these fights.

“Yes, I do have quite a few more. Dancing skill, fear, peaceful cannon, nature, charmer, stealth, and I have two other skills to choose from bluescreen.” Chris listed out the many skills he can still use.

He also had Taijutsu mastery, peace of mind, the ability to learn everything faster than most people.

“Did you say ‘charmer’?” Asked TenTen with a confused look, this is the first time they had ever heard of this skill.

A few dozen chapters ago, Chris used this skill in the Chunin exams on ‘that’ guy’s bugs (he forgot his name again.) And Akamaru.-

But, no one would ever think that he charmed bugs, which is probably unheard of anywhere in the multiverse.

“Yes, I did.”

“What does that skill do?”

“Well… just like the name suggests, I can charm people and make them fall in love with me.”

Then all of a sudden, they looked at Chris with weird looks, as if they didn’t even know him anymore. They knew that boys were perverts, but to actually have this skill…

Seeing their eyes, he knew that they misunderstood him.

“Wait! I swear I never used this skill on any of you, I have only used it on a couple of bugs, a bird… and Akamaru. That’s it.” Chris said hysterically.

He had the intention of using these skills on beautiful girls to gather a harem, but he didn’t need to use it, as they all had started to fall in love with him on their own accord.

“So… you never used it on anyone else?” Asked Kat as she crossed her arms.

“But… I wonder what kind of effects it would have on a person.” Said TenTen.

Chris had a good idea on what it could do on a person, but he still isn’t sure what to expect when he uses it on people, especially on Luna or the others.

“Can you… use it on me?” Hinata murmured which barely reached the ears of everybody in the room.

“Why? There is no point in using this skill on you, or anybody else.” Said Chris.

“It’s just, I am very curious, that’s it.”

Chris pondered for a minute, then he said: “Very well.”

To use this skill, all he needs is to look at the person directly, and he can charm them at will. He learned this from using it the last three times.

Moments after using the skill, Chris and the others didn’t notice any change on Hinata. Did it work?

“Is… something supposed to happen?” Asked TenTen.

“I believe so. I am not too familiar with this skill.”

“I… love you.” Hinata gently whispered. She started crawling on all fours on the bed that he laid, while she continued repeating that same sentence.

“I love you so much.” Hinata began creeping up closer to Chris. He couldn’t do nothing but watch as Hinata got closer to him by the second.

“H-Hinata!” Chris tried to move, but to no avail, his body is still too numb.

Hinata grabbed his head with both her hands, and went in for Chris’s lips. Their lips intertwined, and the kiss was so passionate that Chris could hardly believe that this was her first kiss.

For a second, Chris felt as if he was on a fluffy cloud, as a beautiful angel fed him grapes. He was completely lost in paradise.

But then he remembered that this was Hinata, the same girl that is in love with Naruto Uzumaki. He even tried to give them a push to be together.

True, he might have promised to Hina that he will try to court her, but he honestly didn’t mean it, because he honestly thought that Hinata will only ever love Naruto.

Chris had yet to realize that Hinata came to this world for him. She had realized her true feelings, and they didn’t belong to Naruto anymore, they belong to Chris.

Chris tried to deactivate the charm skill, but for some reason Hinata was still kissing him like an expert. He looked at TenTen and Kat with pleading eyes to help him, but they just stood there, smirking.

“TenTen, looks like I won the bet.” Said Kat.

“Darn.”

“Want to go to this candy store that I just found?”

“...Yeah sure, why not.” The duo left, leaving the motionless Chris behind with the predator, Hinata.

For Kat, she saw this coming a mile away. TenTen had her doubts, but the facts proved her wrong.

Chris could not believe that they would just leave him alone like that. But, somewhere in his heart he was enjoying this.

As they exited the room, they stumbled across Tsubaki.

“Mom.”

“TenTen, is everything okay? Why is your face red?” Asked Tsubaki.

“She has a fever.” Kat immediately added. They don’t know why, but they felt that Tsubaki should not enter her room at this moment, or her view of Chris would change for the worst.

“It doesn’t look like a fever. Are you hiding something from me?” Tsubaki asked.

“No. We were just getting some candy. Wanna join us?” TenTen said with the best poker face she could put on.

“This looks very suspicious. Did that Chris do something to you?”

“No, mom, he would never do that… yet.” She whispered that last part to herself.

“What is going on inside my room?”

“I just want to spend some more time with you, that’s it.” TenTen used her last card on hand.

This touched a sore spot on Tsubaki’s heart. Although she is not stupid enough to not realize something was happening, she is gonna slide it off this one time.

“Okay, there is a fancy restaurant not too far away from here, I’ll take you there, if you like.” She stretched out her hand towards TenTen.

“I would like that.” TenTen reached out for her mother's hand, and she was relieved that Tsubaki didn’t go to her room.

“Kat, would you like to join us too?” Asked Tsubaki.

“Are there any deserts?”

“Yes, lots of them.”

“I’m in. Lead the way!” There were sparkles around Kat as she hurriedly pushed Tsubaki to the nearest exit.

(I just realized that I accidentally made Kat like Naruto, because of her love for sweets, where Naruto likes ramen.)

TenTen and Kat shared a momentarily glance, and were relieved that Tsubaki didn’t see what was going on in her room.

Then, a strange thought occurred inside their mind at the exact same time.

‘Wait, if Hinata and Chris are left alone in a room, on a bed, with no supervision, and they’re making out… then wouldn’t they… OH MY GOD NO!’ They both thought.

They were all still kids, and they weren’t an expert in this area. They were kind pure hearted-ish, so they didn’t think what Hinata might do next.

“Um, mom?”

“Yes?”

“Is it possible for a 13-14 year old girl to get pregnant at such a young age?” She asked after some hesitation.

“Hm… your father told you, didn’t he?” Tsubaki had dark lines on her forehead for some reason.

“What do you mean?”

“Didn’t he have the ‘talk’ with you?” She was obviously referring to the birds and bees.

“What talk?” TenTen did not know what her mother was thinking.

Tsubaki thought that TenTen was already at that age where a girl would have sexual feelings towards the opposite sex. She did not know that TenTen was referring to something else entirely, when she mentioned if a young girl, like her, could get pregnant.

However, Kat immediately knew what was going to happen. She started sending TenTen signals to stop before it's too late.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

TenTen was oblivious to what was about to happen.

“That bastard of a husband. Looks like I am gonna have to do this myself. You girls are obviously gonna have to learn about protection and such. Follow me.” She tightened her grip on their arms, and dragged them both forcefully.

TenTen finally understood what was about to happen, but she reacted too late. Tsubaki’s grip was surprisingly strong, and they couldn’t escape if they wanted to.

“Mom, please don’t, this is too embarrassing. And we have to get back to Chris, before it's too late!”

At this rate, Chris and Hinata will really cross the line in which no one should ever cross.

“No excuses, you two are gonna have to learn about this one way or the other. Now, let’s start with the birds and bees.”

This was something that Tsubaki always wanted to do, be a real parent. All parents (or guardians) need to have this talk to their children someday. She was looking forward to this way too much.

-Meanwhile.

Hinata still had Chris pinned down to the bed, with their lips still intertwined. Their stamina is surprisingly high, since they hadn’t even taken a break.

Finally, Hinata sat up, tasting the fluids on her mouth and savouring it. She was surprisingly dirty. Appearances can be deceiving sometimes.

Chris also felt the same, as he too had been lost in pleasure. He had already lost the will to fight her. If it weren’t because his body was still quite numb, he would have pushed Hinata down by now.

After several moments of taking deep breaths, Hinata saw her reflection in a mirror, and saw how shameful she was.

She sat on top of Chris as if he were a chair, his face had traces of his and her saliva mixed together.

“Chris…” She had no words to say. She cannot blame anybody but herself, because she was the one who requested that Chris used his skill on her.

When he did use it, Hinata felt something that she never felt before, she couldn’t describe it, but she was ready to give her everything to him.

She did not want this feeling to ever end, until he managed to dispel the technique from her. It worked, but for some reason she didn’t stop.

She could have stopped from the beginning, but she didn’t want to. All of her actions were from her own free will, Chris only gave her that minor boost that she needed.

“It’s okay Hinata, I know, and it’s not your fault.” When this was happening, Chris read her mind, and found out that her actions were from her own free will.

He was afraid that he would force Hinata into something she wasn’t ready yet. He was not that kind of person, and he will never do that on purpose to someone close to him.

Maybe because he knew that Hinata was doing it out of her own free will, he felt relieved. Now he knew her true feelings, and he felt happy.

If Chris hadn’t removed the charm ability from Hinata, perhaps they would have already crossed that line by now.

Hinata still had the will to stop before her actions go beyond to the point of no return. She would be lying if she said she didn’t feel like doing it, it’s only because of their age that she stopped.

Hinata was surprisingly knowledgeable about this stuff, but not nearly as Chris.

“Chris, these are my feelings for you. It took me a long time to finally find them and express myself. I-I really do love you, from the bottom of my help.” Hinata started shedding tears for some reason, her figure made her look lovely, like a beautiful painting.

Chris just stood there, not knowing what to say. Hinata was his first anime crush, and during all the things that happened these past few months, he too fell more in love with her. He just didn’t know if she still had feelings for Naruto,

“Ever since you came to my life, it has never been better. You saved me from my father. You saved my Aunt’s life. You protected Hanabi when she was kidnapped. You have done so much for us, and even till today you try to protect those close to you. Even after sacrificing your life on and on, you never lost sight of us. I can’t help, but start falling in love with you.”

Her deep was deep in Chris’s bosom. She could feel his firm, warm body, and smell the scent of his sweat. But, there was a noticeable tear stain on his shirt from Hinata’s crying.

Chris felt a sudden warmth welling up inside him. After a while, he could just barely move his right hand. He rested it on top of her blue head.

She looked at his, with her red, teary eyes.

“Hinata, I’ll be honest with you. You have always been my first love. It was your kindness, your strong will that got me attracted to you. You are very beautiful.”

Hinata felt happy that he felt that way about her, but he didn’t say what she wanted him to say.

“Hinata, I love you. If you marry me, I promise I will love you forever. I will cherish you forever.”

Hinata blushed harder than she ever did. All she wanted to hear him say was ‘I love you’ but he said too much, that she wasn’t ready.

“I think marriage is still too early for us.” She said softly.

“Your dad already gave his permission. I could marry you right now and he wouldn’t object one bit.” Chris said teasingly. Of course, he is gonna marry Luna first, it's a promise he made with her.

“Father…” Even before she knew it, Hiashi already gave his permission to Chris. What a great father he is, literally speaking.

Hinata was about to get up, but Chris held her.

“Can you stay like this, for a little bit longer?” He liked it when Hinata is hugging him like this, and he wanted that feeling to last a little bit longer.

“Okay…” She moved up a bit, and hugged him from the side. They actually looked more like a couple of close siblings than lovers.

They are indeed sharing a bed together, but all they were doing right now is snuggling. If anything, this was a very cute scene to some people.

Both enjoyed each others comfort, until they were falling asleep, their eyelids were getting heavier, until they could no longer open them.

Meanwhile…

Naruto sat on a log, with his legs crossed, as he stared into the campfire in front of him. Life has been pretty hard on them, but it was better than being dead.

Minato was still with them. He could not rest in peace knowing that his people are in trouble. He sat beside Naruto.

In this world, they are not father and son, but just acquaintances.

“Fourth Hokage.” Naruto said after thinking a while.

“Yes?”

“You said that you loved my mother, right?”

“I did, and I still do.” He didn’t hesitate to say this.

“So… does that mean you knew her?”

Minato paused for a moment as he began recollecting his thoughts.

Rei had already returned his memories of Fan Uchiha. He was glad that he did, otherwise he would have forgotten those precious times with them.

“Do you want to know about her? And… do you want to know about your father as well?” He asked to be sure.

Naruto nodded slightly. He had always wondered who they were, how his parents lived, what they liked, did he looked like any of them?

These questions are a plague to all orphans who grow up without parents, depending on the situation that they are in.

Minato scooched near Naruto, and handed him a smore.

“Thanks.” Naruto ate the smore happily.

“Your mother and father, were my best friends. I met them in the ninja academy, and we were even on the same group.” Minato began roasting another marshmallow as he told his past to Naruto.

“Your father, was the strongest person I knew. We fought in every way we could think of, arm wrestling, thumb wars, kunais, swords, everything. But, he always defeated me in all those matches.

Your mother, was the fiercest girl I have ever met. For some reason I was attracted to her ever since I saw her beautiful red hair. She was my first love.”

Naruto almost choked on the spot. Why does his mother sound familiar to a pink-headed girl he knew…

“When she was attacked and kidnapped by Kumo, I found red strands of her hair on the floor. I knew something was wrong, and I had to find her. When I did find her…”

“You saved her, right?” Naruto said.

“No… Fan Uchiha saved her before I did.” It felt like this a part of his past that he never wants to remember.

“When I saw her, I somehow knew that she fell in love with Fan. I know because she looked at Fan with the very same eyes as I looked at her.”

Naruto felt bad for Minato. He cannot relate in a way, but he felt terrible that his first love was taken by his friend and rival.

It was as if Sasuke were to steal Sakura from him.

“But, I didn’t give up. I tried my best to get her attention, by doing lots of cool stuff that girls would like to see.”

“And it worked?”

“No… Fan Uchiha always outshined me in every aspect.” Minato sighed, he just hated to admit that.

Naruto felt bad for Minato, but felt proud that his biological father was very cool.

“Did you become the Hokage to get her attention?” Asked Naruto. He too tried to get the attention of people, that is why he always vandalized whenever he had the chance.

“Partly. Being the Hokage has always been a dream of mine.” He then took a bite out of a hot smore.

“But, Fan could have been a better Hokage than me, but he rejected the proposal on the spot.”

“He what? But, being the Hokage is the coolest job on the planet!” Naruto could not believe his father would reject something so important.

If this offer ever landed on Naruto’s lap, he would have taken it without a doubt.

“I thought the same way too. I once asked him why he rejected, and he said something surprising.”

“What did he say?” Asked the curious Naruto.

“I still remember his words to this day. He said ‘Being the Hokage is a great job, but I want to be there for my son, when he arrives.’ You see Naruto, Fan might have been a pain, but he really did love you.

He even rejected the job of the Hokage just to be with you. Not many people can say that.”

Naruto started weeping tears. “I didn’t know my dad loved me, even though we never met.” The most important thing he wanted to know was whether his parents loved him, and they did.

Minato stretched out his arm towards Naruto and gave him a tight hug.

“Naruto, your parents did love you. It was a tragic accident that occurred on that fateful night, that split you apart from your parents.”

“Wh-what happened that night?” He still wanted to know everything.

“You see, Naruto, the nine-tails inside you came from your mother, she too was the last Jinchurikee of the nine-tails.”

This was news to Naruto. He never thought that Kurama came from his parents.

“When she was about to give birth to you, that night we all had forgotten the existence of Fan. No one knew him anymore.”

That night when Kishina was about to give birth, was also the same night when Rei took away the memories of Fan Uchiha from everyone.

“The village was also ambushed that night. I was attacked by someone named ‘Tobi’ I never met him, but he was very strong. When the nine-tails was released, I knew that Kushina was in trouble.

I teleported straight to her, and she was being chased by the nine-tails, with you on her arms. She was protecting you from harm.”

“But, what happened next?” Naruto asked, but more tears dripped down from his eyes.

“The nine-tails was too strong for anyone to handle. I used a forbidden technique to seal the nine-tails inside you, but I had to sacrifice myself and your mother, to protect the leaf village, and you.”

He began rubbing his head gently, but that only made Naruto cry harder.

“Kushina asked me ‘why would I sacrifice my life for her and you?’ I answered, ‘Because, I can at least die with the one I love.’ after that, the seal activated and we lost our lives.”

“You see Naruto, you were never alone in this world to begin with. You had parents that loved you, a best friend.”

“Thank you. For telling me about them.” Naruto wept and wept uncontrollably.

Minato failed to mention that half of Kurama’s chakra was transferred in him, just like in the anime.

Minato still had some things that need answering. Why was Fan ever erased from their memories, for what reason exactly?

And why has he never visited his son during this whole time?

According to his memories, Fan was a nice guy who protected others, and helped those in need, just like Chris. But, why did he attack Itachi? And why has he been working with the Solkvore Kingdom like this?

He knew that Fan loved Naruto when he was still in Kushina’s womb, so what happened during that fateful night?

Only Rei knows about this, but he never told anyone.

“Fan, what are you doing now?” Minato said as she stared into the night sky.

Fan was sitting in his room, looking at important pictures,pictures of his past.

In many pictures, there was Minato, Kushina, the third, and many more.

There was even a picture of him and Kushina getting married, and many happy times they had together. Kushina smiled brightly in each photo, seeing this, Fan cried uncontrollably too.

“Kushina… I am so sorry.”

On one peculiar picture, was Naruto’s sonogram. And there was even another picture of Naruto, when he was just a few months old.

“Naruto… I wanted to give you the life you deserve, but that night happened, and everything fell apart. How I wish I could see you again, one more time.”

Naruto might not remember it, but Fan did visit him only once. But no infant would be able to remember.

He sat in his favourite chair, which rocked and forward. He started humming a lullaby he created himself.

“300 years, the night began to shine. Free at last, from that dull-end life. In a world… where the stars could not reach dwell. The games of life, gave life to thee. Alone, in a fire of burning wood, the trees at night began to sing to thee ‘this soul is lost’ 300 years passed like a shooting star. The once lost soul, had found his way to you.”

He repeated the lullaby over and over again, until he felt drowsy enough to sleep. In his hand, he still had his picture of Kushina with him. Everyday, he dreamed being together with the woman he loved once more.
