New Kind of Peace

Author Note:

For those who want it to end, let it end. I believe many of us haven't watched Boruto. I didn't either and I really was starting my reading so I can get ideas on what to expect with Kara and the rest. And of course some of you really hated Kiba. But like many authors i still paired him with her because for me Kiba is just a sweet honest guy who could actually get to her to accept him,

 

I have no idea where I am going with this one. Perhaps it will be really short since Tsuyu was already powerful, or perhaps it would be as long if i decide to introduce Shinju version of Tsuyu and I am afraid she would be TOO STRONG I am afraid to introduce such a character. Even Jura at the moment of Boruto seemed OP. Now something worse like a copy of Tanya Degurechaff made enemy gosh even I was scared to write the aftermath.

A lot of things have happened in the past years.

 

Toneri Otsutsuki made his appearance, kidnapped Hanabi, and Hinata went away with Toneri to save her.

 

Naruto held the scarf made by Hinata, his eyes filled with sadness and grief. He just realised what Hinata meant all this time. Why was he so blind… she had been so kind to him. Tried to be there for him, ever since Tsu-chan was sealed on the moon. He clenched his fists, no, he wouldn't give up on her!

 

He rushed straight to Konoha Temple, looking for Kurama.

 

"Kurama! I need your help!"

 

Kurama opened his eyes from his nap. He huffed, feeling lazy. But given their long friendship…

 

"Fine…Let's get it over with. You are really helpless without me. Hmph."

 

Kurama went with Naruto to the Moon.

 

Pieces of moons were falling to the Earth's surface. Sasuke used Susanoo and cut down multiple of them.

 

"Naruto..."

 

Sasuke looked up to the moon above. Naruto was fighting up there, even the moon was shattered apart.

 

An Eye Creature came out of Sasuke's sleeve, looking at him as if asking if he's not calling out to her.

 

"It's not serious yet." He said as he destroyed another meteor. Sasuke was aware Tsuyu was alive. He was far more reliable than Naruto so she let him know.

 

Toneri felt enraged, he created a golden long sword with all the truthseeker orbs.

 

Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!

 

Naruto in KCM dodged to the side as the moon was split apart. But as he looked back his eyes widened in horror.

 

"Tsu-chan!"

 

The small moon was split apart from the stray fire, turned into multiple pieces. Anger, despair, anguish filled his heart. It's as if Tsuyu's dead body were desecrated.

 

"DAMN YOU!"

While Naruto was busy fighting, Tsuyu took off her sunglasses and used her Byakugan, seeing whatever was going on up there. Her Byakugan could see the entire world as long as she focused on them.

 

"Huh. There's something happening. Sasuke didn't call me… Maybe they don't need me." Tsuyu shrugged. She wanted to ignore it but then her eyes lit up.

 

"Oh my what a big juicy chakra!" She saw the Giant Tenseigan that looked like a juicy fat melon. She felt a little too happy, maybe because of some influence of Otsutsuki genes.

 

"Tsuyu, what are you looking at?" Kiba at her side, also with similar sunglasses, were also basking in the sun with her, surrounded by the cool breeze and sound of the ocean.

 

"They were fighting on the moon." Tsuyu said calmly.

 

"HUH?"

 

"I am taking that chakra." Tsuyu levitated, a white robe covered her body instantly.

 

"Don't go too long!" Kiba shouted as she went into the portal.

 

Tsuyu sneakily opened a portal right next to the Tenseigan.

 

"Don't mind if I do~"

 

With her palm, she started pulling out the chakra into herself. As the Progenitor of Chakra, Tsuyu could retake what was hers! Or well, her body genes were exactly like Kaguya so…

 

Tsuyu glanced at Naruto through her Byakugan, now getting a clear upperhand after Toneri lost his power gradually. He was screaming 'Tenseigan…! What's happening to it!' and was confused and never realised Tsuyu was sucking it out.

 

Kaguya in her mindscape explained the chakra were Hamura's, one of her sons.

 

"To think they gathered all of the chakra into this melon. Their population dwindled to most of the energy being kept in here instead of passed on."

 

Tsuyu noticed there were fuins shiki around, creating an illusion that reflected memories in the ruins. She wasn't sure what it was for so she just left it here and went to bask in the sun next to an unwelcomed man and his dog.

 

As for Hinata and Hanabi, they were safe so Tsuyu decided to not intervene and let Naruto become the knight to save her. After she absorbed Tenseigan until it dried up, light bloomed in Tsuyu's Byakugan.

 

She closed it for a moment, before reopening them. Tenseigan. White flower-like patterns appeared in her bluish white eyes.

 

"So the chakra here was almost a tenth of your prime self huh…? It felt like the ocean…"

 

Kaguya nodded.

 

Kaguya split her chakra into two after she birthed Hagoromo and Hamura, with each carrying 25%. Due to conservation of energy, the energy in the moon contained some of Hamura's chakra.

 

Toneri already lost his power and was beaten up badly by Naruto left and right. Mostly because Toneri destroyed the smaller moon and also for Hinata.

 

"Poor kid…" Tsuyu glanced at Toneri with her new Tenseigan and returned to bask in the sun next to an unwelcomed man and his dog.

 

Tsuyu watched as the two returned to Earth and kissed eventually, making her scrunch her expression.

 

"You really grew up, nii-san. Congrats Hinata. Hopefully he's a good husband, otherwise I might need to come back and beat him." Tsuyu congratulated silently, looking thousands of kilometres away. She could tell these two would really end up together for life.

 

"Huh? Congrats? What did you see?" Kiba turned to her side, curious.

 

"They kissed. My brother and Hinata."

 

"Huh. Oh. Wow…" Kiba fidgeted.

 

It's been a few weeks since he stayed with Tsuyu on this island after she had saved him from his stupid predicament while trying to find her. There's really no progress at all. His heart couldn't handle it.

 

"Tsuyu… What do you think of me?"

 

Kiba gulped. To think he asked such a risky question…

 

"Frankly, you can die for all I care about. But I appreciate your company."

 

"...Oh."

 

"...But I don't exactly mind, if it's you…" Tsuyu muttered.

 

"...huh? You mean…" Kiba felt his heart racing.

 

"Don't think too much, Inuzuka. I might genjutsu you so you forget I even said that."

 

"Ah! Okay I won't say much!"

 

 

Kiba shyly took Tsuyu's hand, scared that she would pull away. She didn't react much, but it made Kiba happy knowing Tsuyu 'didn't mind' meant she accepted him.

Another year passed, and it was Naruto's wedding with Hinata. Tsuyu came back to Konoha with Kiba and the dog, appearing silently to congratulate them both. Even if she doesn't really want to talk to Naruto, he will always be her brother. And Hinata was one of her closest friends. Kiba and Akamaru acted like they had just returned from his journey, hiding the fact that Tsuyu was in Konoha. Tsuyu really wanted to leave Kiba here but he managed to see her leave through the portal. Reluctantly she had to let him be there on her retirement island.

 

Many things happened, with Kiba and Akamaru refusing to leave the island even if Tsuyu tried to kick him out.

 

One thing led to another. She blamed it on the condition where she was all alone enjoying her peace, which was a trigger to primality instinct to reproduce and then that man just decided to barge in and stayed too long that she felt comfortable enough with his presence.

 

She blamed everything on biology and psychological conditioning.

 

She held her stomach. The life inside it sucked her chakra slowly.

 

Can't believe we actually did that…

 

Tsuyu sighed. She didn't regret it or anything. Maybe it was nice too, though she would be too embarrassed to admit it herself. She blamed it on Kiba's hidden kekkei genkai or some genjutsu and perhaps this too was Being X plan all along!

 

… Tsuyu looked at Kiba, snuggled into her arms.

 

He's warm... I guess I am really stuck with him…

 

She didn't mind it, really… a soft smile on her lips as she closed her eyes. It was a better kind of peace. Though she wondered if she could raise the child. And what if the child ended up trying to kill her once they knew what kind of person she was.

 

Will the story repeat itself… she didn't know.

Kiba returned to the village after another short year of travel. And along with him, everyone was dumbfounded that he brought a woman with him too, a veiled one at that.

 

Tsume looked at the baby, dark brown hair, his blue eyes were like that of a starry sapphire.

 

"Son… who's son…"

 

Tsume looked at the veiled figure. Her expression distorted in pain at first.

 

"Oh dear… I am sorry. My wild son had wronged you… oh…" Tsume shed tears, thinking his son had dragged her into.

 

"Tsume-san, it's not as you think… I am together… with him."

 

Tsuyu removed the veil. Tsume gasped in shock. The long blonde hair, the blue eyes. The almost imperceptible whiskers. She looked more human than ever before, and such a beautiful daughter in law.

 

Tsume had tears in her eyes so suddenly.

 

"Oh… Tsuyu… you are alive… all this time… and to think Kiba troubles you like this… I will make sure he treats you well…"

 

"Maa…! Stop acting like I am a bad guy here!"

 

"Can I…?" Tsume looked at the baby longingly.

 

Tsuyu nodded, smiling slightly, seeing Tsume holding their child.

 

"What's his name?"

 

"Kouga. Inuzuka Kouga…"

 

"What a nice name… ah… he's laughing at me… who's a cute baby~ who's a cute baby~ I am your grandma now~"

 

Kiba felt a little hurt that his mom was actually so nice to his son. Has she ever been nice to him!?

 

Tsuyu chuckled softly.

 

Family… huh…

 

***

 

Hinata looked at the baby in the mysterious woman's arms. Kiba looked really proud but also embarrassed at the same time trying to explain.

 

"Who… did you…" Hinata opened her mouth wide, looking at Kiba and the veiled woman.

 

Tsuyu opened her veil, her expression calm and nonchalant, though inwardly she was hiding embarrassment. Technically they weren't married and it's out of wedlock doesn't it. What was she thinking again back then? Kiba must have used his clan secret genjutsu…

 

"It's been a while, Hinata." Tsuyu said calmly.

 

"T-Tsuyu…! You are alive? And… what… how did… how did you two…"

 

Kiba and Tsuyu look at each other.

 

"I am not explaining." Tsuyu said as if that's not her business.

 

Hinata gasped. Her Byakugan suddenly opened as she looked serious. She made a handseal.

 

"Kai!" "Kai!" "Release!"

 

Hinata channeled her chakra trying to get out of this genjutsu.

 

"Could it be, the plan of Infinite Tsukuyomi was successful, and I am still trapped in it? No wonder… I was too happy with Naruto and Boruto… it was all just a dream…" Hinata wanted to cry.

 

Tsuyu twitched her eyebrows. Did having a man make you stupid as well? It seemed we were the same Hinata…

 

"Hinata, this isn't a genjutsu. Yes, I am together with this guy…" Tsuyu said calmly.

 

Kiba moved closer, holding onto Tsuyu's waist. His eyes were soft and affectionate, looking at her cold and calm expression, then at their son.

 

"Yeah… at times I felt it was a dream…"

 

"Don't make me use Tsukuyomi on you, Kiba…" The Rinnesharingan on her forehead opened, her eyes looking at him coldly, though she was just embarrassed he was being mushy in front of Hinata out of all people.

 

Hinata chuckled and let out a soft laugh. Tears escaped from her eyes, seeing her friend living again. It's twice now wasn't it. It's like it was her hobby to fake her death.

 

But her being with Kiba and having a baby shocked her more than Tsuyu being alive.

 

"What's his name…" Hinata held the child's hand.

 

"Inuzuka Kouga." Tsuyu said softly.

 

"What a nice name… then Kouga and Boruto can be friends… he's napping right now, let me show you my baby…" Hinata smiled, feeling happy.

 

"Hm. He really takes after Naruto… those whiskers…" Tsuyu touched the baby's cheek.

 

Boruto mmed and turned his head around a little.

 

He really looked like Naruto when he was a baby… Tsuyu remembered those times, a sense of melancholy in her eyes.

 

"Yours have whiskers too… they are really cousins."

 

"But Tsuyu, why is there a seal on Kouga's left hand…" It was a 9 tomoe pattern arranged in a circle around his wrist.

 

Hinata noticed through Byakugan earlier, while she was trying to escape the genjutsu.

 

"Oh. It's nothing much. Just to make him get used to natural energy as he grew up. I can get Boruto one too if you want it."

 

"What…?"

 

"We had enemies out there. We should try our best to make our children strong."

 

Kouga's half Otsutsuki, but since Tsuyu didn't have all the chakra Kaguya once had in her when she conceived him, her son wasn't strong enough. From Kaguya description, the other Otsutsuki's ate tens and hundreds of fruits! While Kaguya only at ONE. Even Tsuyu misunderstood the real strength of themselves.

 

"Um… thanks for the offer Tsuyu, I am afraid Naruto wouldn't allow it…"

 

"... I understand. He could be a bit stubborn, acting so self righteous~" Tsuyu dismissed him jokingly.

 

"Hey, that's still my husband, you know." Hinata laughed softly.

 

"Oh, you have such a fine taste Hinata."

 

"Can't I say the same with you, Tsuyu?"

 

Tsuyu grumbled.

 

"You are right. I regret being with him."

 

"Hey…!" Kiba looked heartbroken hearing that.

 

Tsuyu punched his side, rolling her eyes. "I am joking. You know I never did."

 

"Hehe… yeah I know… I know you love me~"

 

"No. You make an acceptable company. That's it." Tsuyu huffed, hiding her embarrassment.

 

Hinata had a soft smile. It felt like everyone found their own happiness and peace.

 

"I have to make an official appearance then... Do they still worship me? I would rather not have Kouga think something weird in the future."

 

Tsuyu sighed. The more she thought about it, the more it felt she wasn't in the right position to have him.

 

"It would be okay. Your real name was forbidden to be spoken, even in the temples. The new generations wouldn't know of your real identity as the, um, goddess…"

 

"Ha… that's good."

 

Hinata and Tsuyu shared a closer bond than before, like two mothers, and perhaps having husbands that were quite a dumb guy.

 

Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside.

 

"I am home!" Naruto came in with groceries.

 

Naruto looked up, to see Kiba that had been missing for a whole year, then at the blonde haired woman next to him. The stern features, the upright confident way she stood, yet beautiful… so familiar…

 

Then at the baby she held.

 

His eyes darted between Kiba, the woman, the baby, then the woman again.

 

"Tsu-chan…?" The grocery bag fell on the ground.

 

Tsuyu rolled her eyes. Yeah she knew it.

 

"Tsu-chan…" Naruto walked slowly, approaching her, tears brimming in his eyes.

 

She raised her hand.

 

"Don't be overdramatic. I was never dead, to begin with. It was a seal. I got out of it a year or two ago."

 

"..." Naruto didn't say a word. He understood Tsuyu just pretended to be dead, again, for her own peace.

 

"Who's child…" Naruto looked at the baby. Naruto wiped his tears, looking at the cute baby.

 

"Mine and Kiba's…" Tsuyu muttered softly.

 

Naruto had his mouth wide open. Then at Kiba. Then at Tsuyu again.

 

"Could it be… I am inside Infinite Tsukuyomi?! Damn it! I will escape from this genjutsu-ttebayo!"

 

"Kai! Release!"

 

Kiba snorted a laugh, almost squealing like a pig.

 

Tsuyu slapped Naruto making him spin in the air and fall with a smack.

 

"Ouch… Tsu-chan… that hurts…" Naruto wanted to cry.

 

"Ann! Hehe…!" Baby Kouga let out a laugh seeing Naruto getting slapped, his body moving excitedly. His big blue eyes looked too happy.

 

Tsuyu smiled slightly. That's right. You should be happy when he's beaten.

 

Suddenly baby Boruto cried. As if he was sad his dad was beaten up.

 

Kouga only laughed more seeing Boruto crying.

 

Tsuyu chuckled softly. She never knew 'peace' could feel better. Or perhaps because she was already a Godlike being so she still felt a little secure.

 

If anything she could run away into her own dimensions with her family to live on their own. She couldn't care less if the planet sucked dry by Otsutsuki as long as she and her family had their peace - that was her own true feelings.

 

But if they dare to ruin my peace… I will make them extinct…

Momoshiki, who was out there casually harvesting chakra fruit on a planet while chasing after the trail of Kaguya and Isshiki suddenly saw some vision through his Byakugan.

 

River of blood, screams of pain and agony… and behind them, a blurry distorted figure turning each of them into his sustenance… swallowed whole.

 

"Ahhh…!" Momoshiki dropped his chakra fruit, sweat fell from his face.

 

What was that… my people!? What… what kind of demon…!
