After entering, Parallel World 5 Tsunade immediately sought out her other two selves and Parallel World 2 Grandma Mito.
Parallel World 5 Edo Tensei Itachi glanced around and unhesitatingly lunged toward young Shisui.
His little brother was important, but he could be pinched anytime, whereas this still-soft young Shisui—if missed, there'd be no chance again; he had to seize this to torment him thoroughly!
The most shocked and excited were Naruto and Parallel World 5 Hashirama.
16-year-old Naruto and Sasuke were far more composed, but teenage sharpness and childishness hadn't fully faded.
Especially seeing the house full of familiar, longed-for people, long-suppressed emotions burst forth.
"Jiraiya-sensei!"
"Mom, Dad!"
"That's First Uncle Hokage?"
"Why are there two Second Uncle Hokages on the Stone Faces?"
"Ah! And three Grandma Tsunades!"
"Huh? Why's Third Grandpa Hokage kneeling?"
"Who're you? Kakashi-sensei smaller than me? That book in your hand?"
"Hey, hey, hey, you're another me? This tiny?"
"Hmm? Who's this baby?..."
Naruto unleashed a barrage of exclamations.
Of course, his final gaze locked on the cutest baby Sasu.
What could be done—who wouldn't want to pinch a baby Sasuke with such an adorable aura?
Especially pinching him in front of the other two Sasukes—it was more thrilling and fun!
Compared to Naruto's excitement,
Sasuke was slightly more reserved, but not by much; seeing his parents, his eyes stung too.
Compared to Naruto, who lost his parents at birth, the pain of watching his die before his eyes on the clan massacre night was undoubtedly more bone-piercing!
Fortunately, he could see them again now.
"Mom~~"
"Wow! You're future Sasuke too? Grown this tall? And so handsome, way handsomer than Dad!"
Baby Sasuke was being teased alternately by several other fanboys when Parallel World 4 Mikoto finally got a breather.
She was talking with young Parallel World 3 Sasuke and, seeing young Parallel World 5 Sasuke approach, couldn't hide her joy.
Seeing both her future sons at once was truly too wonderful.
"Mom, are you all okay...?"
Young Sasuke held back his stinging eyes hard, voice trembling slightly. Of course, before so many people, though his heart raced, proud Sasuke wouldn't allow tears.
He could only hold back fiercely, letting them swirl in his eyes.
"You're my future self?"
Parallel World 3 Sasuke immediately blocked in front of Mom Mikoto, eyeing Parallel World 5 Sasuke warily and curiously.
"You're my past self?"
"So weak? So childish?"
Teen Sasuke glanced at young Sasuke, feeling slight disgust at his past self; of course, he didn't hate himself, but the past weakness and foolishness.
"What'd you say?"
Young Sasuke was indignant. He'd trained long under Ancestor Madara. He wasn't the weakling hiding behind Naruto anymore.
Even his future self couldn't insult him like this!
"Hmm? Not accepting? Want a beating?"
A flicker of excitement crossed Teen Sasuke's eyes. He wouldn't mind teaching his past self a lesson!
"Enough!"
"You two can't cause trouble here, or I won't know how to explain to Kushina and Minato, got it?"
Mikoto asserted authority, instantly stopping the two Sasukes ready for 'peaceful interaction.'
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
The two arrogant brats snorted mutually, turning heads away simultaneously but slightly more obedient.
"Want to see yourselves as babies? Super cute!"
Mikoto pointed enthusiastically at baby Sasuke, teased alternately by Izuna and others.
"N-No need. I'll greet Dad."
Parallel World 5 Sasuke hurriedly refused.
He wasn't curious about baby self, but felt deeply embarrassed seeing baby self surrounded by so many.
His whole face burned hot.
Too humiliating!
"Me too!"
Slightly younger Parallel World 3 Sasuke also felt mortified and rushed to Fugaku.
Thus, the two Sasukes advanced one by one to Parallel World 4 Fugaku.
"Dad!"
"Dad—!"
Fugaku eyed the two Sasukes before him, face full of relief.
"I'm sorry! I know a bit about the future. I chose the wrong path, causing hardship and suffering for you both."
"These years, you two surely had it tough, right?"
Fugaku apologized immediately, piercing the two soft-hearted Sasukes.
Though usually quiet and rarely smiling, his mind was among the sharpest in the Uchiha clan.
"It's not Dad's fault. Just mine for being too weak then, lacking power to change everything."
"Same for me!"
Parallel World 5 Sasuke understood power and fate deeper. Parallel World 3 Sasuke didn't know how to respond, so just echoed.
"Good, excellent!"
"You're the Uchiha clan's future! As for your brother Itachi..."
"In the end, I failed to raise him right..."
Fugaku was pleased with Sasuke but highlighted Itachi's flaws.
He couldn't help glancing at the other little Itachi, heart filled with fury.
The two Sasukes followed his gaze.
They just noticed little Itachi nearby lying on the ground. His eyes gleamed with Tsukuyomi patterns from Mangekyō Sharingan. Mouth and teeth trembled.
Clearly, he'd fallen into some painful family education memory Genjutsu.
As for who cast this Tsukuyomi? Too hard to guess!
"That? Big brother as a kid?"
"That's Onii-san?"
"Right! This traitor kid, hit by Genjutsu? Perhaps..."
Fugaku nodded helplessly. His tone dripped with fatherly despair.
"Dad, then I'll go chat with little big brother?"
"Me too!"
Fugaku didn't forbid, agreeing gladly. He hoped these two future Sasukes could guide the disappointing big brother.
Seeing this, the two Sasukes exchanged looks, glee and malice shining in their eyes.
Prior hostility and disdain became irrelevant; soft, young little big brother Itachi was now prime target!
Thus, the two Sasukes didn't hesitate, lunging at little Itachi to free him from Genjutsu.
Poor little Itachi, just awakening from future self's Tsukuyomi, saw two future little brothers with evil grins encircling him, baring teeth.
Truly 'out of wolf's den, into tiger's mouth.'
(Don't...)
(Who'll save me?!)
Just as little Itachi wailed inwardly, more Parallel World 5 guests arrived.
Parallel World 5 Edo Tensei Madara proactively pushed the door open. Clearly, he didn't come with Nagato and others, as they weren't close, arriving separately.
"Madara-sama?!?"
Little Kakashi at the door startled again, hurriedly hiding the ecchi book he'd just opened.
"Hmph! So young and already corrupt. Minato's slacking on your education!"
Little Kakashi's movements couldn't escape Edo Tensei Madara.
He glimpsed the ecchi book's essence instantly, snorting coldly.
Then, saying no more, after scanning the room, his target locked on Parallel World 1 Hashirama.
Edo Tensei Madara's eyes gleamed, lunging at Parallel World 1 Hashirama.
But blocked by Parallel World 1 and 2 Madaras.
"You again!"
"Undead daring to show?"
"Loser unfit to join!"
"You two seek death!"
Three Madaras clashed. Atmosphere heated instantly.
Fortunately, Hashirama was there. His words drew all three Madaras' attention.
"Y-You all Madaras?"
"Of course!"
"I'm not like these two trash."
"You're the trash..."
Instantly, seeing three Madaras surround and argue over him, Hashirama felt the world dreamily beautiful.
"Three Madaras?"
"I-Is this not a dream?"
"Heh, heh heh... Don't argue, one by one! Speak one by one!"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
As more arrived, the hall's atmosphere grew livelier.
Fortunately, Minato expanded the house earlier; otherwise, it couldn't fit so many honored guests for dinner.
Hearing the lively buzz outside, busy-cooking Minato was overjoyed.
This was the life he wanted, the future he'd protect!
Thus.
Minutes passed.
Finally, with the last chime, Parallel World 7 top guests arrived.
This group was undoubtedly the largest.
Parallel World 7 Six Paths Naruto, quasi-Six Paths Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Boruto, Sarada, Himawari, Kawaki, Kakashi, Orochimaru—even Kashin Koji!
11 total, all present.
"Hello everyone, we're late. Sorry to intrude!"
Mature Six Paths Naruto, with family head poise, greeted proactively upon entry.
Simultaneously, he suppressed all his Chakra aura early, avoiding scaring the house's kids.
Undoubtedly,
Six Paths Naruto and others' arrival drew nearly everyone's attention.
Especially seeing Parallel World 7 Naruto holding Hinata, Sasuke holding Sakura, the two young NaruSasu teams from Parallel World 3 and two from 5 all gaped in disbelief.
(Sss—!)
(Future me marries Hinata?)
(Future me marries Sakura?)
Future marriages were too shocking for current young/teen NaruSasu.
Simultaneously, seeing the house full of big shots from various worlds,
Compared to Parallel World 7 NaruSasu, beside them Hinata and Sakura were far more nervous.
One flushed red from nerves, the other nearly fainted from steaming head.
What could be done.
After all, at tonight's dinner, Naruto and Sasuke's parents were present; first time Hinata and Sakura truly visited in-laws, meeting them.
Of course, super nervous.
Fortunately, soothed by Naruto and Sasuke, they didn't faint prematurely.
As for Boruto and Himawari,
First peeked curiously everywhere, dying to know everyone.
Second shyly hid behind Hinata but curiosity-filled, finally seeing living grandparents!
As for Kawaki? Even more hyped. He'd seen teen Narutos already, barely containing excitement.
Meanwhile, Sarada's gaze locked on young Parallel World 5 Dad, teen Parallel World 3 Dad, and finally baby Parallel World 4 Dad.
From cool adult Sasuke to adorable baby—even teasing tiny baby Dad. Sarada never dreamed this, now had chance!
Ambitious Sarada prepared to lunge at baby Sasuke. Sadly, foreseen by Parallel World 7 Sasuke Dad, who grabbed her.
"Come, greet grandparents first!"
Sasuke forcibly pulled Sakura and Sarada to Fugaku and Mikoto.
Meanwhile, Naruto prepared to bring his family of five to parents, but impatient Kushina, spotting Boruto and Himawari, got even more excited, lunging first!
"My sweet grandson and granddaughter, you're finally here!"
"Welcome!"
Kushina enthusiastically lunged at Boruto and Himawari, rubbing them wildly left and right, overjoyed.
"G-Grandma?"
"Yes! It's me. But seems I'm called old? No matter, you're my good grandkids!"
"Mom, be gentler!"
Naruto hurriedly steadied the three. Of course, he knew Mom was cheerful and cute—knew since first mental space meeting.
"What? Saying I'm not gentle enough?"
"Of course not!"
"Good!"
"Mom, this is Hinata, my wife—you've met."
Naruto hurriedly introduced wife Hinata.
Kushina's eyes sparkled again:
"Oh! My good daughter-in-law, grown this big? Days ago I visited Hyūga clan hugging you as tiny baby!"
"A-Auntie, hello!"
Hinata stuttered nervously, bowing hastily.
"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. Just call me Mom. Okay?"
"Yes, Mom..."
"Oh! So happy! This gentle, virtuous beauty—Naruto's lucky..."
"N-No, no! I like Naruto-kun too, we..." Hinata panicked explanation. Before Kushina, she reverted to shy girl secretly loving Naruto.
"Mom! Uh, where's Dad?" Six Paths Naruto awkwardly diverted, asking what he knew.
"Him? Cooking in kitchen."
"Dad cooking himself? Then..."
"Don't worry! You rarely visit. Eat your fill tonight—I guarantee satisfaction!"
Kushina winked and smiled at Hinata, signaling no worry.
"Y-Yes!"
Hinata deeply embarrassed, head down. Cheeks bloomed rose-red.
Humiliating!
How'd Naruto's Mom know this too?
Who leaked her appetite secret?
But she anticipated and thrilled to gorge on family dinner.
Chatting, Kushina familiarly pulled Naruto's family into main hall.
Meanwhile, impatient Kawaki sneaked past some, lunging at nearby Parallel World 3 Naruto.
Seeing this, remaining dispersed.
Confused, alien-feeling Parallel World 7 Kashin Koji approached Parallel World 5 Six Paths Nagato and captured Parallel World 3 Jiraiya. As clone, eager deep interaction with original.
Parallel World 7 Orochimaru licked lips, approaching two Uncle Orochimarus, other Auntie Orochimaru, and still-hard-tormented Hiruzen.
He didn't come wrong. Too much fun here!
How miss chance to tease Hiruzen together?
Soon.
Door left with two figures.
Confused little Kakashi blankly stared at Parallel World 7 adult Kakashi.
"My 15-year-old self, huh?"
"You..."
"Hello! Kakashi. First meeting. No gift, so here's a good book!"
Honored Sixth Hokage Kakashi skillfully pulled precious collection book from clothes, handing to baffled little Kakashi again.
