Chapter 39

Arriving outside the base, the trio looked down at the country on the moon filled with people from many different places.

"Impulse, I think it's a bad idea." Jaime complained seeing the peaceful city under them filled with people going about life happily

"Do you want to explore the vast cosmos for a person? We might not find him before coming across death."

Kara and Jaime couldn't deny his words.

"Let me take out the people from those houses before we destroy them." Kara muttered as she decided to rush towards the city through the barrier covering the city

The moon had its gravity and was livable now but the barrier was in place to keep it safe from attacks.

With her destructive intent Kara was bounced back and broke her nose from the impact.

"Oww" Kara held her face as she straightened her nose

She couldn't believe this just happened and felt rage from the pain but before she could act, ethereal chains popped out from everywhere and tried to capture her.

'Damn, how careful did he become?' Kara wondered as she flew back to avoid them and lashed out with her heat flare as it became too difficult

The heat vision exploded out in wave destroying the chains giving her chance to retreat.

"I guess he wasn't kidding about regretting it." Jaime muttered

"Fuck that robotic bastard. I am going to pick him apart if he doesn't give us a straight answer." Impulse cursed and wanted to go on a rampage

This wasn't a time to admire Naruto's power, he needed some fucking answers.

"Wait, let's think about carefully. Maybe we can find a clue." Kara stopped him before he ran towards the base to cause destruction

Impulse held back but couldn't think right with all this negativity.

'Negativity will make your thoughts a narrow passage. Learn to always keep a positive outlook. There is always more than one answer and if you see only one then you aren't seeing it closely enough.'

'Shut up dream Naruto.' Impulse retorted as he remembered Naruto's words

It was his go to lines when they sparred or did some tasks.

"What could be important enough and easy to destroy?" Jaime muttered as he looked at the city

"The statues of Golden Dawn or the moon base." Kara answered as she looked between those two locations

"Can we really do this? Maybe a worse security function is activated and we get trapped on Prison Island." Jaime reminded them about Naruto's prison island causing them to hesitate because they were done for if they got stuck inside

None of them had the ability to travel dimensions and that place didn't have enough resources to even go back home.

"We look for him for an unknown time or try destroying these two items with a possibility of having him appear or getting imprisoned." Impulse spoke aloud their options through the link

Kara was silent for a moment before she started laughing.

"Why are you laughing? Did you snap from the pressure?" Jaime backed away from Kara and pushed Impulse in front of him

"Dude I didn't expect this from you."

"I just think you are more suited to this task."

"How could we be so stupid? Even if we get captured, Naruto would know about it so he would still come to us." Kara gave them the reason of her crazy laughter and they couldn't help but smack their heads

"So what are we waiting for, let's do this." Impulse felt calm now as it seemed that all the answers were a just a step away now

"You guys handle the statue while I take out the moon base." Kara commanded since Scarab was needed to go through the entrance of the city

"On it" Jaime replied as he flew towards the gate with Impulse while Kara returned to the base

--------------

"I warned you didn't I. The barrier is too much for you Kara and unless you want to spend a month inside the sun, it's better to start exploring with this locater and you will know when you are close to him."

"No, we found a better option. We will destroy the base and the statues."

The android stopped for a moment, "That could work."

"So please step out from the base as you might get hurt."

"No problem"

With those words he teleported outside while Kara flew through everything inside and broke it down, leaving nothing in operatable condition while the boys managed to break the statues.

Looking at the destruction underneath her floating body, Kara couldn't believe she had ended up doing this.

'Hopefully he has a way to return it back to normal and it's actually worth it.' Kara thought as she would feel terrible about destroying this home for nothing

Fortunately she seemed to have been teleported before her thought process was even finished and she found herself in a vast field of flowers.

She could see a lake in the distance along with large beautiful pink trees and a simple old Japanese style house above the water.

It was night in this place and she was surrounded by fireflies and shining butterflies.

She wasn't alone as the boys stood behind her and were also mesmerized by the beautiful scenery.

"He has really good taste. I would never think it from his usual choices." Impulse muttered unconsciously but stopped speaking when Kara glared at him

But as they started walking towards the house they heard a singing voice that took away their souls.

It was just so beautiful and enchanting.

[Fujita Maiko: Hotaru] (A.N Try it and you will get the feel here)

In the midst of the wet season

today after the rain

a lukewarm wind

blows through the quiet night streets

Summer draws near

Shining with light

it steals my gaze

I want to hold it

I want to try touching it

You are just like this firefly

Are you ready? I still want to look

Are you ready? At that heart

I can't tell how you feel

The more I want the more it hurts

Even so I could never hate you

To look at

the fireflies that gently

flutter in the air

from the place where I touched them just a little bit

is what I like the best

quietly, quietly

I can't hold it, I can't reach it

I can't hold it, that heart of yours

'It's just my own thinking'

I want to cry when I feel this way

Our feelings can't become the same

With the lyrics finished the group was still standing in place while their mind had been cleared from negativity and was filled with thoughts about love.

Things that they had avoided, things they were afraid to try because of failure.

Kara was affected greatly as she realized that these lyrics resonated deeply with her heart. She wanted Naruto more than a friend. She didn't like anyone around him because that was her place.

'I can't believe I never realized it.'

"You would have realized it soon enough."

Hearing the voice she looked up to see an older Naruto who looked at with gentle and loving expression.

His hand on her face and his gaze made her feel lost.

"No, he is mine."

Kara realized she was about to kiss him when a hand stopped her from moving and saw the other Kara.

The couple wore traditional Japanese clothing and looked to be in their twenties while they were actually above 70.

"Sorry, he just looked so dreamy. What am I saying?!" Kara replied and realized what she was saying

"The truth, you can't lie here. This is my domain. My private grounds when I just want to rest." Naruto replied as he remembered old times looking at them and his past regrets

"How have you been doing?" Kara asked as she looked at his expression

"I am doing great but you are definitely not."

"Yes, we need to know about the past so we can go back and change it."

"Follow me and we will talk over a meal." Naruto turned around and walked towards the house along with his wife
