"Is Mom really pregnant?"
"...yes."
Who was the one who made her pregnant?
Sasuke didn't ask that question, but he asked, "A boy or a girl?"
"She hasn't been born yet, but it should be a girl, so you will get a little sister."
Being together with a single mother, it was inevitable that he would have to talk about Mikoto's situation to Sasuke.
As for Itachi, it was all fine since this guy was in hell.
"Little sister?!"
Sasuke felt like something had hit him before his back subconsciously straightened.
Frankly, their relationship was more or less okay since Mikoto often went to visit Shinra, so she also brought Sasuke with her.
"You will be a big brother from now on."
"O-Oh..."
Sasuke was at a loss for a moment as he felt his head being patted, yet he also showed excitement and eagerness. "C-Can I see her?"
"Not yet, it is still dangerous here."
"!!"
Sasuke was startled, then realized their situation wasn't as good as it appeared to be, especially when all of their clan members were killed except for the two. If Shinra were careless and brought his mother and his "little sister" to a dangerous place, then—
"I-Is there anything that I can do?"
Watching Sasuke's small face that showed determination, Shinra sighed inwardly, thinking that the Uchiha Clan had been the one that loved their family the most. It was because they loved their family the most that they became strict, and even appeared cold, telling them to grow stronger, so that way, in this harsh world where anyone could be killed at any moment, their family would be okay.
This was also the reason why their love often made them crazy, as losing the one they loved so much was so painful.
If Shinra also had a similar experience, he would go crazy, and that was why, when he was weak, he had never put his emotions that much into a relationship, since losing them would be too painful, right?
Meanwhile, the Senju Clan, who were famous for being warm, as expected, were all just warm for a publicity stunt, as many of them didn't hesitate to use their clan members as human experiments.
Nevertheless, facing Sasuke's plea, Shinra said, "You don't have to worry. Leave everything to me. I am not weak like before."
"B-But..."
"If you want to help, then go and sleep now."
"S-Sleep?!" Sasuke looked at Shinra with annoyance and even anger, wondering whether he was being looked down on. Then again, while he hadn't seen how strong Shinra was, as Shinra had killed Itachi, and the explosion that happened before was also done by Shinra, this young man, who was also his stepfather, definitely wasn't weak.
Moreover, even if Shinra didn't show his power, his muscular, manly body was simply the epitome of power, a strength, like a god of war that descended from heaven.
When Sasuke looked at his thin body, he sighed inwardly, but could he grow bigger?
As he thought of Itachi and his father, he felt that it was impossible.
"When you sleep early, you will get bigger and have more potential to grow stronger. If you lack sleep, you will be short and will have a limited potential, so go and sleep."
"Yes!"
Only when Sasuke heard Shinra's words did he quickly nod and go to sleep. The place that he was in was unfamiliar, as he was brought to Shinra's new house in the central area, luxurious, classy, and elegant, suited to his status well.
Yet, while he was still feeling strange, considering how the older brother, whom he had known for so long, had become his stepfather, as their relationship was quite close, as Shinra often took care of him, he accepted it readily, especially since this feeling was far better than the loneliness when he was all alone.
'Also, I need to grow stronger!'
Clenching his small fists, Sasuke showed his determination to grow stronger.
His goal didn't change as in the past; he still sought to become stronger, but unlike before, when he sought to grow stronger for revenge, this time, it was to protect, especially when he knew that he was about to become a big brother!
As Sasuke left, meanwhile, Shinra was still in the living room, thinking whether he should bring Mikoto back, but then again, compared to this world, he wanted Mikoto and his daughter to stay in the world of Kengan.
Mikoto also thought the same, as she was exhausted from living in the world of Naruto, which was filled with war, war, and conspiracy.
The life of the Kengan, while it wasn't as beautiful as it seemed to be, for Mikoto, it was already a paradise, especially when one had no need to fight to live or was afraid of dying in a war.
Probably, some people might say that living in such a world might blunt their fangs, but was there any need for women to fight?
It was enough for Shinra, who was fighting, since even if the world had changed, the essence of every man was all the same, a competition.
Glory, women, and authority.
The goal of every man has never changed.
It has always been those three, and to get all of that with the limited resources in the world, a man has always been fighting.
Then again, as he gained the power of the Sage of the Six Paths and also became the Ten-Tailed Jinchurichi, shouldn't he be invincible already?
"....."
"Hmm...."
Shinra hesitated.
If it were in the world of One Piece or Kengan, then he wouldn't be afraid of anything, but he knew well that there were many anomalies in the world of Naruto.
Naruto or Sasuke from the future, who came to the past aside, he felt hesitant toward the Ootsuki Clan.
Kaguya Ootsuki, while she was hailed as the last antagonist in the world of Naruto, in the end, she was just a slave in the Ootsuki Clan, and even so, she still lost to her son, Hagoromo Ootsuki, who hadn't even eaten the Chakra Fruit.
Meanwhile, the Ootsuki Clan was a large clan that came from space and had been devouring many planets to grow stronger.
The nobles, or those with high positions aside, since some of them were born with such status due to their parents instead of their abilities, the leader of this clan was definitely far from simple.
The power of being the Ten-Tailed Beasts Jinchurichi was definitely far from over, and he had to eat more Chakra Fruit, increasing his energy further, yet if he did that, wouldn't he destroy this planet?
As he let out a helpless sigh, wondering what he should do, he looked around, wondering where Tsunade was, but when he used his Observation Haki, he couldn't help but frown and felt helpless since, as expected, the Senju Clan was a shitty clan!
