Seeing that only Guts came back, Kurenai, Tsunade, Anko, and the others were a little surprised.
"Just you come back?" Tsunade asked.
Guts picked up a plate of cola biscuits on the table, shoved them into his mouth, and said while chewing, "They went back to the Hyuga house today."
Tsunade curled her lips. "It's probably for the best. You being the only man living here... if they stayed too often, their reputation as the two heirs of the Hyuga clan might be ruined."
"Reputation is the least valuable thing in the world. Does Mrs. Tsunade, who's fucking her own student...me still have one?" Guts teased.
Counting it carefully, the number of times Guts calls Tsunade "Teacher" is probably less than the fingers on two hands~.
"You little shit! You want to die—!?" Tsunade exploded.
When Konoha found out about her relationship with Guts and she was the last to know, she almost wanted to commit suicide from shame.
"Miss Hinata, Miss Hanabi, you're back," one of the housemaids greeted with a bow.
Hinata and Hanabi just nodded and hurried past her toward their room.
Their lowered heads and quickened pace left the servants puzzled.
Why do they look... weird?
But no one dared question them. Both were future clan heirs.
"Nee-san, help me take a look," Hanabi groaned.
"Wow... it's really swollen," Hinata said, face flushed as she handed Hanabi a mirror.
Seeing her reflection, Hanabi cursed, "That bastard! He spanked us so hard! Damn it! How am I supposed to sit with a butt this swollen!?"
Hinata whispered, "Hanabi... maybe we really went too far this time... Sensei might be genuinely mad."
Yeah... he really did spank them hard this time. They were too ashamed to go back to Guts's house and had retreated to their own home.
If Tsunade or Kurenai ever found out... it'd be over.
Now Hanabi didn't even know how to face Guts. She got spanked like a naughty kid. Her image? Gone. Hinata saw the whole thing too.
But when she thought about that strange sensation during the spanking...
Hanabi squirmed. That feeling was... different.
"Nee-san... how did it feel to you?" she asked, eyes gleaming.
It sounded like two girlfriends gossiping about their first experience.
Hinata didn't have Hanabi's boldness. She pulled the blanket over her head and curled into a ball, muttering something like, "It really hurt... Sensei's spanking..."
Early the next morning.
Guts was headed to the public training grounds to meet the girls for another day of sparring. But before he reached the gate
The familiar voice and battered appearance made him rush forward.
Shisui suddenly collapsed to his knees, and if Guts hadn't caught him, he'd have smashed his face into the dirt.
Guts scanned him quickly. Stab wounds, burns, bruises... different techniques.
"Must've been through hell."
Without another word, Guts hoisted him up and dashed back toward Konoha, aiming straight for Tsunade's treatment.
"Sensei! Isn't that...?" Hinata and Hanabi had arrived too.
Seeing Shisui's battered state, they completely forgot about last night.
"You two go train today."
Leaving only that, Guts vanished with Shisui.
Hinata and Hanabi exchanged glances... then bolted after him.
Their swelling had gone down, after all.
Four hours later, Shisui lay in the hospital, covered in bandages, an IV drip running into his arm. Tsunade had personally treated him.
Around him were Guts, Hinata, Hanabi, Namikaze Minato, Konan, Kakashi... even Naruto had rushed in.
"Ugh..." Shisui groaned, slowly opening his eyes.
"He's awake! Hey, what about Sasuke? What happened to him!?" Naruto shouted.
Guts slapped the idiot hard on the back of the head.
"Start talking. What happened?" he asked Shisui.
Shisui winced. "After Itachi and Sasuke fought, I told Sasuke the truth about his brother."
Tsunade and Minato's faces darkened.
Naruto and Sakura looked confused.
"The truth...?" Naruto asked.
"Then what?" Guts pushed.
"He didn't take Itachi's side. Instead... he said Konoha's been isolating the Uchiha for generations. He...he said he's going to destroy the village."
A shock ran through the room.
Naruto screamed, "That's bullshit! Sasuke wouldn't—"
Another hit shut him up.
Minato nodded, signaled to Kushina.
She smiled, grabbed Naruto by the ear, and dragged him out. "Shush, it's a hospital, idiot."
Uchiha Sasuke... even with all these changes, he still chose this path.
No matter how many variables you change, fate still loops the same tape.
Reincarnations of Ashura and Indra.
Guts's voice broke the silence:
"Should Sasuke be killed?"
Everyone froze...Sakura, Kakashi, even Naruto outside the door.
