GAISSSSS

So today me, naruhinalover4ever and peanut1964 STARTED A SLAP BORUTO MOVEMENT!!!!

If y'all wanna join, comment #SlapBoruto2k18!!!! (It's really fun XD)

"You cannot be serious." Older Naruto barked. Younger Naruto was frozen in shock, face priceless.

Tsunade frowned. "Unlike you, kid, I wouldn't joke about Orochimaru."

Younger Sasuke's mouth opened and closed in a fish-like motion.

"What happened to being a duck?" Boruto laughed. Then everyone turned their glares to him. "What?" He groaned. "Just trying to lighten the mood!"

"Well go lighten the mood somewhere else, ursuratonkachi." Sarada spat, eyes flashing.

"Jeez. Sorry." Boruto pouted. "I mean, its just Mitsuki's dad-- mom-- parent. He's harmless." He muttered. "Suigetsu-san! You seem like a fun guy. Wanna go train?"

Suigetsu's worried face spread into a fake smile. "Sure, kid."

Karin frowned. "I'll go with them, and take Juugo. You never know the kind of trouble they could get into."

"I'll go too." Shizune stood up, handing Tsunade Tonton. "Sarada, do you want to come?"

A glare from Sarada made Shizune wince.

"SARADA UCHIHA, YOU WILL LISTEN TO AUNT SHIZUNE NOW." Older Sakura shouted, startling everyone. No one was surprised, though, it was Sakura.

Sarada gave her mom a defiant look. "This is Uncle Shisui we're talking about."

"Sarada." Older Sasuke looked up at his daughter. She was turning out too much like him. "You want to know things, i get that, i used to feel the same way. You don't like being out of the loop. I can't worry about you and help Tsunade-sama figure things out at the same time."

"But Papa, I wouldn't be getting in the way!" Sarada complained. "Please let me stay!"

"I know, princess, but Boruto is leaving and it wouldn't be fair to keep you here. Besides, there's already a billion geniuses here that can help. We don't need another genius. Boruto might need you to explain things to him. I promise I will tell you everything that happens. Okay?" Sasuke reasoned.

Everyone in the room watched in awe as Sarada nodded, kissed her father's cheek, and left the room with no argument. "Don't forget to tell me everything, Papa."

"I never get how you do that," Sakura commented thoughtfully.

"I don't know either. She just... comes naturally to me." Sasuke shrugged.

Itachi chuckled. "He is basically her, but bigger. He understands how she works, and uses that to his advantage in parenthood."

"I'd forgotten what an excellent judge of character you are." Shisui smiled. "It's nice to be back with you and Sasuke."

Tsunade shook herself out of the daze. "Okay, we need to figure out what is up with Shisui. Because I'm fairly certain that you should've died."

"Yeah..." Shisui nodded, turning thoughtful. "I remember thinking I was dead. Then... I remember a little of being dragged..." he became lost in thought. "It's really hard to think so far back."

Tsunade looked the boy up and down. "You look like a healthy... what was it? 25 year old?"

"I think..." Shisui shook his head. "The last age I remember is being 15."

Younger Sasuke winced. This man, Shisui... he couldn't remember anything besides being 15. How painful that must be, almost 9 years of his life...

Gone.

"I'm 21." Itachi volunteered. "Shisui was two years older than me, so he'd be 23."

Tsunade looked at Shisui again. "That seems about right. Shisui, do you remember anything else?"

"People." Shisui's head lifted suddenly. "The Uchiha. Orochamira-whatever, he must've taken the rest of the Uchihas' bodies... maybe saved them?"

"Not possible." Itachi shook his head. "I killed them all. I'm positive they are all dead except us three." He gestured to Sasuke, himself, and Shisui.

"But... I could swear..." Shisui bit his lip. "No, I saw them. All of them. In tanks, like me."

"So they could still be alive?!" Younger Sasuke asked excitedly. "Kaa-san... tou-san..."

"No." Itachi said firmly. "I killed them all." His voice cracked a little. "I felt the life drain out of them. They are dead."

"Itachi..." Shisui whispered. "I'm still alive... I was supposed to die. I'm certain of it."

"So they could still be alive!" Younger Sasuke jumped up. "We have to go find them!"

Older Sasuke frowned, shoving his younger self down in a chair. "Don't go getting crazy ideas. Sit and wait. Tsunade-sama," He addressed the 5th Hokage. "Is there a possibility that the Uchiha could've survived?"

"I..." Tsunade looked at Older Sasuke thoughtfully. "I would normally say no, but Shisui..."

"What about the bodies left behind that night?" Younger Hinata spoke up.

"They would have to be faked." Tsunade nodded. "It could be possible. Orochimaru was remarkably good at faking... but he would have to use..." She gulped.

"Use what?" Younger Naruto asked, seeing Tsunade struggle with the answer.

"Real people... he would change their appearances..." Tsunade looked down. "We might've buried people that were still alive."

Gasps rang out.

"Orochimaru has reached a new level of sick if that's what he did!" Older Sakura exclaimed, face contorting in horror.

"He could've used dead people too." Older Sasuke replied to his wife. "Dead... experiments...." He shuddered.

"Well then, we definitely need to go check out his hideout. Maybe there were some rooms we missed... Shisui could lead the way." Older Naruto said, going Hokage-mode, as Boruto called it.

"Okay, Shisui is coming. I am too, I'm the Hokage and a med-nin." Tsunade said.

"I'm definitely going. I'm a med-nin as well, shannaro!" Older Sakura called. "And my younger self can come too." Younger Sakura smiled up at her older self.

"You all know I'm coming." Older Sasuke added. "And I guess my younger self can come too, even though he is stupid." A look of gratitude overtook younger Sasuke's anger at being called stupid.

"I-- we-- could use the Byakugan to check for life." Older Hinata suggested. "We could be useful."

"Hinata's coming." Tsunade affirmed.

Itachi looked down, a pained look entering his normally calm face. "I should go. It would be good for me... to see them again."

"Maybe Orochimaru has something to help cure Itachi's illness." Older Sakura added.

"Suigetsu, Karin and Juugo have to go soon, they can't stay with me. They'll be put in danger." Younger Sasuke frowned.

"They can stay here and leave when they feel like it while we're gone." Shisui reassured him.

"Fine." Tsunade looked at everyone. "Shall we go?"

"We shall." Jiraiya opened the door and smirked. "Wait... where are we going again?"

"What are you doing here?" Sarada frowned, looking up at the crazy, white haired, pervert old man that stood in front of her.

"I'm Jiraiya. Who are you?" The man pouted. Jiraiya had survived the strange encounter with his student and Naruto's friends' older selves, successfully got rid of, (Not killed) Pein, walked around looking for the "Akatsuki hideout" Older Hinata had told him to go to, and finally stumbled upon a scary genjutsu-trap. So far, he was NOT having a fabulous day. 

"Someone who is probably going to be more useful than you, old man." Sarada smirked.

"Sarada! Don't disrespect your elders!" Sakura exclaimed. "Lets get going, ne?"

"Fine." Older Sasuke took Sarada's hand. "I'll see you in a day, okay?"

"Papa, you have to take me." Sarada's eyes watered. "This is my family too."

"Sarada, it's too dangerous!" Older Naruto knelt to her height. "I know you want to come, but it's for the best!"

"You cannot leave me here with this guy!" She pointed at Boruto, who was trying to balance a Shuriken on his fingertip and cut himself. Whimpering, he pressed his finger into his mouth and shut his eyes tight. 

"Hm... I see your point..." Older Sasuke sighed. "I really don't want to, but I would never willingly subject any of my family members to that... fine. You can come."

Sakura flashed him a heated glare. "You're such a softie. You know it's not good for her to see this."

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!" Sarada smiled, pulling her parents into a hug. Sasuke smiled a little and patted her back, while Sakura hugged her back with full force.

"Okay, we have to get going. Now that Pervy Sage is here, we can go." Younger Naruto grinned, giving his sensei a thumbs up.

A silent look was passed between Tsunade and Jiraiya. "I failed the mission." He told her.

"We'll worry about that later. For now, the Uchiha." Tsunade nodded. "Uchiha Shisui?" He looked up at her from where he was twirling a kunai. "Lead the way."

"With pleasure." Was his reply, and with that, everyone was out the door.

《¤》《▪》《¤》《▪》《¤》《▪》《¤》《▪》《¤》《▪

"Okay, are we almost there?!" Boruto complained. Hinata shot him a crazed look and he shut his mouth as quickly as it opened. 

"Yes, Boruto, we are almost there." Older Sasuke nodded, jumping from tree to tree beside Kakashi. He came because he didn't want to be left behind, and also because he liked the idea of the Uchiha surviving. And also, a little bit, because his student would probably need his help if his family was really dead. So, here he was. He hoped it would all be worth it, because this was seriously cutting into his reading time. 

"So this kid is yours?!" Jiraiya asked his older student. Naruto sighed and nodded. "It's almost exactly like you! In every way!"

"HEY, SHUT UP! I AM NOTHING LIKE MY CREEPY OLD MAN, OKAY? I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT SINCE I WAS BORN, AND I DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT FROM YOU!" Boruto shouted, eyes glittering defiantly. 

#SlapBoruto2k18, baby!!!!

Older Naruto sighed sadly. "I don't know how to get him to like me, Pervy Sage, i swear I've tried everything humanely possible." He whispered to his teacher. 

"How about not trying and just being yourself?" Jiraiya frowned. "I mean, he couldn't hate you any more than he already does." 

"Gee, thanks sensei. I've tried that. Over and over and over again. So come on, any other ideas, dattebayo?!"

"Guys!" Sarada shushed them, leaning over behind a bush. "Can you shut up please?! We're here." 

It was the hideout; Orochimaru's. The place far at the end of Konohagakure, in the dark forest. The place of Sakura's nightmares, and Younger Sasuke's power hungry dreams. "We're finally here." Sasuke sighed. "Let's go see what we can find." 

"Yeah." Shisui closed his eyes, then opened them, Mangekyo activated. "This is the place. This is where I've been for years." 

"Well then. Let's go."  Tsunade inhaled sharply and walked over, completely ignoring Sakura telling her to come back, that 'there could be traps, shishou!'

Older Sasuke and everyone else followed her, seeing that she hadn't gotten hurt by any apparent traps. Tsunade stood, looking at the giant double doors. She'd already descended the stairs, and now only a door was blocking her from her goal. Tsunade raised a fist, and the doors went flying. "Can't stop me," She muttered to the people coming up behind her. 

They wandered around in the dark for awhile, with only the Sasukes and Shisui to lead them down the dark hallways. "It'll be over there, i think..." Shisui muttered, leading them into one of Kabuto's test rooms. Where he created monsters and called them 'experiments.' Then, seeing nothing, they looked around until Boruto accidentally knocked over some syringe bottles and a secret door opened. 

"I've never been here before..." Younger Sasuke said thoughtfully. "No wonder." 

They followed another dark tunnel and it eventually led to a room. 

The group stood, gaping, at what they had found. "It's the Uchihas." Sarada muttered. They were all floating around in big tanks, green goop enveloping them. There were consols on the bottom that controlled what happened inside the tanks. 

"Oh my kami." Sarada muttered, running over to the first tank she saw. "Kensai Uchiha." She read from the file on the control console. The poor man didn't have a pulse, there was no beat on the monitor below. He was dead. 

The rest of them ran around, searching frantically for any living ones. There was the entire clan, Mikoto and Fugaku included, all dead. 

"How..." Itachi looked at his parents, then fell to his knees in front of their tanks. "I'm sorry, kaa-san, tou-san..." He put his face to the ground, then stood up. Only Sasuke saw the one tear that slipped down his cheek. 

"I can't believe it." Tsunade put her hands on her hips and looked around one more time. "They really are all dead. Why are they here? Why does Orochimaru need them?"

"I think Kabuto was probably studying them." Older Sasuke's voice shook. "That's the only logical explanation. He would have no other reason to keep dead Uchiha here." 

Then Kakashi came running around the corner, Jiraiya on his heels. "We found one. She's alive. Barely, but she's alive. Come on, come on, come on!!!!" 

Itachi was up and around the corner as soon as Kakashi was done saying that. Everyone else followed, Sasuke getting a look of disbelief on his normally emotionless face. 

Itachi skidded to a stop, a look of horror making it's way onto his face. 

"Who is it? Who?" Sarada looked up at the girl. "Who, Itachi-jii!?" 

Older Sasuke gaped, and Younger Sasuke's eyes filled with tears. 

"It's.... It's Izumi." Itachi's eyes closed. "Izumi Uchiha."
