The world of Naruto is a place where ninjas and their abilities are commonplace. It is divided into five great nations, each with its own unique culture and political structure. These nations are constantly vying for power and resources, which often leads to conflict and war. The world is also home to powerful creatures known as the Tailed Beasts, which can be harnessed for their immense power. Despite these hardships, the people of the Naruto world are resilient, always willing to fight for their beliefs and the safety of their loved ones.
Boruto takes place several years after the events of Naruto, following the adventures of the next generation of ninjas. Boruto Uzumaki is the son of Naruto, the beloved Seventh Hokage.
It was December 23rd, just two days before Christmas. Everything was as normal as usual. The village was blanketed in snow, and the Seventh Hokage sat in his office, exhausted from endless paperwork. His son, Boruto, was out with his friendsâMitsuki, Sarada, and his adoptive brother, Kawaki. His wife, Hinata, was at home preparing dinner with their youngest child and only daughter, Himawari. Meanwhile, Naruto's best friend and right-hand man, Sasuke Uchiha, was surprisingly at home, catching up on much-needed rest while his wife, Sakura, was busy cooking.
A blonde man with short hair sighed as he continued working through the mountain of documents before him. Suddenly, he noticed an envelope materializing out of thin air. He stiffened, immediately alerting his assistant and longtime friend, Shikamaru Nara.
"What's wrong, Naruto?" Shikamaru asked, noticing the glowing envelope in Naruto's hands.
Naruto frowned, waving the envelope slightly. "This just appeared out of nowhere."
Shikamaru narrowed his eyes. The fact that it was glowing from the inside was concerning. Sweat beaded at his temple as he took the letter from Naruto and read its contents. His expression quickly shifted from confusion to shock.
Naruto, noticing the change, raised a brow. "Shikamaru, what does it say?"
Shikamaru handed the letter to him, still too stunned to speak.
'Dear Naruto Uzumaki,
I, Izanami Akira, invite you to the world I have created with my power. I am aware that this may sound unbelievable, but I would like for your world to visit the masterpiece I have crafted. I have created a parallel dimension similar to yours, yet with many differences. In my world, the people know me, have met me, and I live among them.
I fulfill their wishes as long as they are reasonable. I have revived many people, including Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina. You could say I am akin to a god, and I even know the person who created you and your world. I have watched and observed everything from the very beginning, and to be frank, I was disappointed with how many things turned out in your world. Thus, I had the idea to create my own universe where everyone is happy.
Since Christmas is approaching, I asked the Hokage in my dimension if it was okay for you and your people to visit, and he agreed. You may stay for 12 days, but you are welcome to extend your visit if you so desire. Time will be frozen in your world while you are away, ensuring that nothing will be disrupted.
Attached to this letter is a list of people you may bring along. Please inquire if they wish to join you. My home is large enough to accommodate more than 40 people, so space will not be an issue. You have until December 25th to decide. When you make your choice, a screen will appear in front of youâsimply press 'Yes' or 'No.' A portal will then open to transport you.
Feel free to bring clothes for months if you wish, though I can also provide them. Upon your arrival, Yamanaka Ino will be there to guide you and give you a tour of my world. You will see many things that may surprise you, but I urge you to accept them as normal, as they have long since become part of our reality.
I hope to see you soon, Uzumaki Naruto.'
Naruto sat frozen in his chair, staring at the letter. How was he supposed to react to the revelation of another world where his parents were alive? He quickly found the additional list of names and read through them:

Naruto turned to Shikamaru. "Gather everyone on this list in a private room. I'll go get Sasuke." Shikamaru nodded, taking the list and heading out. Naruto stood outside Sasuke's home just as Sarada was about to go in. "Nanadaime! What brings you here?" she asked, beaming.
Naruto smiled, ruffling her hair before taking it away. "I need to see Sasuke."Â Sarada subtly pouted, wishing for the warmth of his hand to return, but turned to open the door. "Tadaima! [I'm home!]"
"Ojamashimasu. [Sorry for the intrusion.]"
Sakura greeted her daughter and noticed Naruto. "What brings you here?" she asked, puzzled. Naruto pointed at the couch, where Sasuke was sleeping soundly. Sakura sighed. "He's been sleeping all day. He barely gets any rest because of his missions."
Naruto exchanged looks with her. 'What do you want me to do?'
'Just wake him up!'
Naruto sighed, then called out, "Oi, Sasuke! Okiru! [Wake up!]" Low and behold, Sasuke stirred and opened his eyes. It came to no one's surprised except for Sarada. The guy didn't sleep for months due to of his missions. A wonder on how he is still alive. Sakura sighed and looked at Naruto, helpless. He looked at her with a face that said,Â

A few minutes have passed, the Uchiha family and Naruto are currently sitting inside a kotatsu since it's really cold waiting, for Naruto to speak. He looked at Sasuke with a serious face. The latter stiffened. He rarely sees Naruto with such a face. "Sasuke, we received a strange letter from an anonymous person and I need your opinion on this." Naruto pulled out an envelope and gave it to Sasuke.
Sasuke opened the said envelope and read it. It piqued his interest to say the least. The things that stood out the most to Sasuke was another world, revived people and God. He looked at the Hokage, his best friend, who in turn looked at him in anticipation. Naruto hopes to accept the invitation, wanting the chance to see his parents once more. If possible, have some bonding family time despite them being technically not his but as the Hokage, he can't make that big of a decision by himself. It might be dangerous.
He decided to ask everyone who was on the list when Shikamaru finishes gathering them into one room. "Naruto, if you want my honest opinion then... We should try it". Sasuke answered honestly. If there was a chance that Naruto's parents are alive there then maybe, just maybe his family is alive there. He missed them, especially his brother, Itachi. If he could, he'd want to stay there forever.
Naruto smiled at Sasuke and then looked at Sarada and Sakura. "Let's go! there is a place we have to go to make an important decision!" The mother-daughter duo were confused about what just happened. But they nodded nonetheless and thus, the Uchiha family and the Seventh Hokage left the house to the private room where everyone would be gathered.
**
Every single person who was on the list were present, whispering about the current predicment. Why did the Hokage summon them? Did something happen? There were figures on the stage consisting of Naruto, Sasuke, Tsunade, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Orochimaru, [He already knew about this] Ino, [who is gonna project the letter on the projector behind them] and Gaara.
Naruto clapped his hands once to silence them. It got everyone's attention. "Everyone! I have a question for you. Would you be willing to visit un alternative universe?" Shocked gasps were heard throughout the room. Sakura was the first one to get out of her shock. She looked at Naruto and asked. "what do you mean by that, Naruto?"
The said man looked at her and answered. "We got an invitation by a supposedly a 'God' to visit the world they have created." Naruto looked at Ino and nodded. Nodding back, Ino pressed 'Return' on the computer to project the letter.
**
Everyone had different thoughts. Some thought of their beloved dead friends and family. While some thought of the different things that they will see, eat and experience. Boruto, Himawari and Sarada were excited to meet their grandparents especially, Sarada.
In the end, it's been decided that everyone will go and have the choice to spend more time there even after Christmas if they wished. After the meeting, everyone went home to pack their things. They packed some warm clothes, winter clothes, clothes for Christmas, Kimonos, underwears, etc.
**
Currently, Naruto is in his office, trying to finish all his work before going to spend an enjoyable vacation. He was the most excited out of everyone to see everything. It's like he became a kid again, who wants to explore the world again and try different things. Shikamaru called Naruto to ask him something and the latter gave his attention to his assistant.
"Naruto. Do you really think this is a good idea? what if it was a trap?" Shikamaru expressed his concerns. Naruto sighed and decided to answer half honestly on why he chose to go. "It's because when the letter was sent to us, there was no chakra used whatsoever. You felt that too didn't you, Shikamaru?" He nodded. Naruto smiled at him. "How about we have fun instead of worrying?"
Shikamaru sighed and nodded, giving his lifetime best friend a smile. "You really are troublesome, Naruto." The said man just chuckled and grinned his usual signature smile.
