[A message pops up, short and sweet, from Luceti's favourite (only) orange ninja.]

Who wants to come to my birthday party next week??

Comments

[believeit]

It's no problem y'know? [It still sounds awkward being referred to as someone's Dad.]

So are you and her friends then?

[savedtheworld]

Yes, and she's also my granddaughter!

[believeit]

She's you're...

[Aren't you more or less the same age as him?]

Huh?

[savedtheworld]

Granddaughter! From... the future!

[believeit]

That's--

[He can't even begin to explain how weird that is actually.]

Isn't that weird?? Knowing who future you gets married to, and stuff?

[savedtheworld]

I never said I know who I get married to! ...I mean, I do, but that's besides the point. It's weird in a way, yeah, but most of all I just love knowing someone like Ikki. I love knowing that we'll find happiness in the future and that someone like Ikki will be born because of us. And also that my people will get to start being reborn.

[believeit]

Yeah, but if you have kids and grandkids, that probably means you were married too, right?

Ikki's great, though. I dunno how I'd feel if I had some grandkid show up here though y'know? It would be really weird..

[There's a pause.

And now he is totally thinking about the possibilities of GRANDCHILDREN OR FUTURE WIVES SHOWING UP HERE]

This sort of thing doesn't happen often right??

[savedtheworld]

It usually does! I just meant that knowing the grandkid doesn't mean I'd automatically know who the gran-gran is...

Why not? I'm sure you'd have a great grandkid, Naruto! Who do you think you'll have it with?

I don't think it happens often! I've asked around a lot, but no one else seems to have had the same thing.

[believeit]

Um.. I don't know?

[Maybe Sakura. Or Hinata? If that experiment was anything to go by, TENTEN??! Argh.]

I don't wanna think about it!

[savedtheworld]

Oh! Well you don't have to. I was just realizing I didn't know much about your love life. You could already be married for all I know!

[believeit]

THAT FAKE MARRIAGE DIDN'T COUNT OKAY! [Why must people keep reminding him about that argh]

[savedtheworld]

What? You married a fake person?

[believeit]

No! I'm talking about.. the thing! You know, that fake place! Where Ikki was my daughter!

[savedtheworld]

Oh, right! You mean that Luceti Valley place? And your wife was Tenten, right?

[believeit]

Yeah, that place.

[Urgh.]

[savedtheworld]

Oh. Do you have feelings about her?

[believeit]

No!

[That sounded so strained. He doesn't! Apart from when he confused himself and somehow thought that MAYBE HE DID AND HE JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT YET?]

[savedtheworld]

No? You... don't like her at all?

[believeit]

Well of course I like her, we're friends, but I dunno if I'd like her y'know?

[savedtheworld]

I see. I know that some people can get confused about that kind of thing sometimes. I guess you should just take your time and think it over!

[believeit]

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna marry Sakura-chan in my future anwyay.

[She just needs to..you know. Like him. Small hitch in the plan.]

[savedtheworld]

Really? I don't think I've ever met Sakura. Is she nice?

[believeit]

Yeah, she's really nice! Unless you piss her off, then she gets really scary.

[savedtheworld]

Really? Well I wouldn't want to get her mad, anyway.

[believeit]

Yeah, she might punch you if you did.
