In the land of fire on the border to the land of tea. A whirlpool appeared in a room with three other people. The room was completely covered in vines and everyone present was wearing an Akatsuki cloak.
Obito: Zetsu! Kisame was dead and Sasuke Uchiha was already gone when I arrived at the old Uchiha outpost. Why didn't you keep an eye on him?
White Zetsu: I was only away for 14 minutes and that just to let you know.
Obito: This sets our plans back further.
Black Zetsu: I have more bad news for you.
Obito: What else happened?
Black Zetsu: One of the White Zetsu that went to Nagato was killed by Nagato and Nagato no longer had his Rinnegan in his eye sockets.
Danzo: I said we couldn't trust this guy and you guaranteed me that he would destroy Konoha.
Kabuto: It doesn't matter, our plan can still be carried out, we just need to determine the location of the Bijuus. I think Madara has his means to create another Rinnegan. Am I right, Madara?
Obito: But that could take years, these eyes aren't easy to come by.
Danzo: So I'm supposed to live in the dirt for years while Hiruzen makes a nice life for himself?
Obito: I'll try to find a quicker solution, Nagato must know where the eyes are, we could use Danzo's Sharingan for that.
Danzo: But then I won't be able to use it for 10 years, so I'd rather go to Hiruzen and kill him myself.
Kabuto: I didn't want to spend years in your company either.
?????: Maybe I can help you?
All four were startled and went on the defensive and a man with a black cloak and his face covered in vines emerged from the shadows of the cave.
?????: You don't need to be frightened, if I had wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago. I've been watching you all for a while now and I would like to be a part of you? By the way, my name is Sáan, but some have given me other names over time.
Zetsu looked at Obito and said, "I can't sense him, he must be a Sage!"
Obito: And what exactly is your goal or rather, how can we help you?
Sáan went to Zetsu's shoulder and said: "Oh, you misunderstood me, I think? You've already helped me and I'm very grateful for that."
Four black tendrils shot out from Sáan's chest and pierced everyone present.
Sáan: And now become part of me.
Zetsu was absorbed by the vines in the next moment and the other vines wrapped around Obito, Kabuto and Danzo.
Obito: What is this jutsu, why can't we move?
Danzo, on the other hand, immediately activated his Izanagi and sacrificed one of his Sharingan to escape out of the cave. Obito didn't think twice and followed suit, but Kabuto couldn't escape his fate and the tendrils wrapped around his entire body.
Sáan: Apparently two are trying to escape.
Sáan dissolved into black roots and sank into the ground, reappearing in front of Obito and Danzo.
Danzo: What kind of psycho is this? He almost finished us off.
Obito: I don't know, but I'm getting out of here.
A vortex formed in the air and Obito disappeared into his other dimension.
Sáan: Bandaged Grandpa! Wait for me a moment, I'll get your friend back.
A whirlpool formed around Sáan and he disappeared.
Danzo: (I have to get out of here before he comes back)
Danzo untied the bandage in front of his eye and tried to get to his still living Root followers, but it was in vain. After Danzo ran 200m, Sáan appeared in front of him with a whirlpool and had a companion with him.
Sáan: Look, your friend is back. But why are you trying to escape? Do you think your little friends can protect you?
Obito was covered in black tendrils and emerged.
Sáan Obito: Danzo, look around, your friends have long since become part of our community, they can't help you and now surrender and become part of us too.
Danzo looked into the woods next to him and his remaining Root soldiers emerged from the shadows of the trees covered in black roots.
Danzo: What did you do to them, is this a genjutsu, but how come my chakra isn't behaving abnormally and why can't I break out of the jutsu?
Sáan: I see you still have a few eyes left, but that doesn't change your fate, you should just surrender and become part of us.
Danzo: Keep dreaming you root freak!
"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet Jutsu!" Danzo shouted and shot a vacuum bullet from his mouth onto Sáan's head. This hit Sáan with full force and created a hole in his skull. Sáan's brain flowed out of the opening at the back of his head and covered the ground. Sáan's body fell to the ground and Danzo started laughing.
Danzo: Hahahaha, now you're done, that's what you got for competing with me.
The next moment, the root-covered Obito appeared behind him and pierced Danzo's spine with a black root spike.
"But I just killed you? Why is your jutsu still active and Madara still under your control?" Danzo asked as blood ran from his mouth and the black roots tried to wrap around him again.
Sáan: Why should I tell you something about myself? Do I look like an idiot?
Danzo activated Izanagi again and disappeared from his position. Obito teleported to Danzo again and this repeated until Danzo only had his right Sharingan eye left.
Danzo looked desperately at Sáan.
Danzo: Please spare me, I'll do anything you tell me!
Sáan Obito looked at Danzo and hesitated for a moment, this was enough time for Danzo to use his Kotoamatsukami on the controlled Obito. Obito stopped and Danzo ran towards him to kill him with his sword, but when Danzo's blade was about to separate Obito's head from his body, he realized that his blade had no resistance and left no damage on the rooted Madara. After Danzo's sword passed through him, Sáan Obito stretched his arm towards Danzo's chest and a black tendril pierced Danzo's heart and wrapped around his body.
Danzo: You won't get me alive, you bastard.
Danzo activated the seal on his body and a black sphere formed in the area and after a split second, the entire area within 20m around was sealed in Danzo's chest and after Danzo's jutsu was completed, Danzo died and fell on the ground.
Sáan Obito: That was close, I didn't expect such jutsu. It's actually a shame, his body could have been useful to me. Regardless, the information from this Zetsu was enough for a while. So Kaguya has been sealed in the moon, I should take a look around there. I think at the moment I'm still too weak to take everything from him.
Sáan Obito immediately disappeared into a whirlpool.
12 years passed and I was now 27 years old. My hair was now down to my knees and I let it hang down loosely. I have a 3 cm beard and wear a white robe with the Senju clan symbol on my back. I haven't used my sword in a long time, it lays in our living room above our television. It was just evening and I was sitting on the couch with Hanabi and we were watching the news together. Hanato came into the room, he turned 6, 2 months ago and just came back from school.
Hanato: Dad! Dad! I was the best in the Taijutsu class today.
As he shouted, he jumped on my arm, smiled at me and hugged me tightly. I stroked his head with my hand and gave him smooches all over his face.
Sato: Honey, you hear, our son will one day be as strong as me.
Hanato: Hee hee, I will, I promise. Um....Dad? Where are Lilly and Jasmine? I brought something sweet for them both.
Sato: They're in the pool with Himawari and Suku, they try out our new water slide.
Hanato's eyes began to sparkle.
Hanato: What new water slide?
Sato: Well the water slide that I built today. I'll pick up Boruto, Sarada and Okuki right away. I told Aunt Sakura, Aunt Hinata and Aunt Suki that we would all have a barbecue together today.
Hanato: Is Tsunaiya Nee coming too?
Sato: You can go ask her, I didn't see Aunt Tsunade or Uncle Jiraiya today, so I couldn't tell them.
Hanato: Then I'll quickly run to her house and pick her up.
Sato: Do that, me and mom will prepare everything for the barbecue, I'm sure you're all hungry.
Hanato: Yay, meat. Dad, I want to eat the cheese and ham sausages again.
Sato: I'll make enough for all of you and now go pick up your cousin.
Hanato: I'm already gone, see you soon.
Hanato ran out of the house and I went into the kitchen with Hanabi to prepare the grill stuff.
Hanabi: Honey, I have to go again after dinner, but I promise you today it won't take as long as usual.
Sato: I can manage all on my own, you have to lead your clan after all. How is your father actually?
Hanabi: He always wants pictures of our children, I think he's pretty lonely.
Sato: Then I'll go visit him tomorrow morning with the twins and Himawari, they'll be happy to see their grandpa.
Hanabi: Would you do that for me? Thanks honey.
Sato: I'll turn on the grill and pick up Sakura, Hinata and Suki. You can prepare the garden table in the meantime.
Hanabi: I will, darling.
I went outside and turned on my stone grill and walked to the house next door. I rang the doorbell and Suki greeted me and she held a little girl with brown hair and brown eyes on her arm, wearing a short pink denim skirt with a diaper and a pink T-shirt. Suki had long brown hair that was combed straight and still wore my talisman around her neck. Her breasts had now grown to size C through her pregnancies. Suki was of course very happy about this because she always thought her breasts were too small. Today she wore a red kimono and also had our clan symbol on her back.
Suki: Sato? You're here early. I thought you wouldn't pick me up until later.
Sato: Hanato came back from school and I wanted to pick you and the others up a little earlier for the barbecue.
Suki: And have you been able to teach Suku to swim yet?
Sato: Yes and his cousins all helped him too, the four of them tried out our new water slide all day long.
Okuki: Ontel Tato. (Uncle Sato)
Sato: Well, if that isn't my favorite niece.
I took a lollipop out of my bag and gave it to Okuki in her cute little hands. Okuki immediately started laughing and put the lollipop in her mouth.
Suki: And what do you say when you get something as a gift, Okuki?
Okuki: thaks Ontel Tato.(Thanks Uncle Sato)
Sato: The main thing is that I can see your cute smile, my little cuddly bear.
Suki: I'll put on my sandals for a moment and then come to your garden, Sato. You can go pick up the others.
Okuki stretched her arms towards me and wanted me to carry her.
Suki: Do you want to go with your uncle?
Okuki nodded and I took her in my arms and she gave me kisses on my cheek.
Okuki: Ontel's berd ticks. (Uncle's beard tickles)
Sato: Yes, does my beard tickle? Then I'll probably have to kiss you even more.
I went one house over with Okuki on my arm and picked up Sakura and Sarada.
Sarada: Uncle Sato, I was the best at throwing shurikens today and as a reward you have to carry me too.
Sato: Well if that's the case, come here.
I took Sarada on my other arm and gave her a kiss on her cheek too.
Okuki: Ontel, that's unfair, i was on yor Am filst. (Uncle that's unfair, I was on your arm first)
Sato: Here, you can also have a kiss, you don't have to be jealous of Sarada.
I gave her another smooch, but she continued to look at Sarada dismissively.
Sakura: Thanks for the invitation, Sato.
Sato: No thanks, how are you coping in the hospital?
Sakura: We're currently training new genin. Oku and I have a lot to do lately. Luckily I have him and Shizune, otherwise I wouldn't have any free time left. By the way, could you watch over Sarada for the next week? Oku and I have found a new method for treating cancer and I want to keep a close eye on the first patient we test the method on.
Sato: Sarada, you heard your mom, starting tomorrow, you'll come to us after school.
Sarada started smiling and Okuki got in a bad mood.
Sakura: I'll bring her things over to you tomorrow, thanks Sato, you are my rescue.
Sato: No thanks, go to the garden, I'll pick up Boruto and Hinata.
Sakura: See you soon.
