In the morning, both girls stood up and looked at the bed, which had many stains. Mikoto sighed. They washed up and changed into fresh clothes.
Hiro stood up soon after and And looked at the screen in front of him.

Months passed, blending into each other as Hiro continued to grow stronger and more focused. Every morning, he would training mastering his abilities
During this time, Konan, who had once kept a careful distance from Hiro, began visiting him regularly — every week, without fail.
She was cold and calculating at first, but with each visit, he noticed her eyes linger on him just a little longer.
Their conversations grew less guarded, more personal, and even though Konan tried to maintain her composure, Hiro could sense her guard slipping.
He made it his goal to get closer to her, subtly and gradually. He didn't rush it — he knew that breaking through Konan's icy exterior would take time.
By the sixth month, their weekly conversations had evolved beyond mere formalities. They no longer spoke just to exchange information or share updates.
Instead, they spent time together over tea, their discussions flowing freely, often punctuated by brief moments of laughter.
Hiro began to notice the subtle shifts in her demeanor. She smiled more frequently, even if it was faint, and her posture had softened.
The tension that had once dominated their interactions had begun to dissipate, replaced by a quiet, mutual understanding.
She no longer kept him at arm's length, and her guarded walls seemed to lower a little each time they met.
As Hiro sat alone that evening, he glanced at his information panel, reflecting on the time that had passed.
A full year had gone by. According to his calculations, the plot of Naruto should have already begun by now.
Yet, here he was, still preparing, still evolving.

He had improved so much during this time. His low chakra issue had been mostly resolved, and now, in combat, he could easily be considered at a semi-Kage level.
Meanwhile, Pakura and Mikoto had become permanent fixtures in his life, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. Lately, however, something felt different.
Both women had noticed subtle changes in their bodies—fatigue, slight queasiness, and a heaviness they hadn't felt before.
At first, they brushed it off as the aftereffects of their rigorous training and long nights, but over time, the signs became harder to ignore.
One morning, after another night spent together, Pakura and Mikoto found themselves lingering in silence, exchanging glances.
Mikoto rested her hand gently on her stomach, her voice quiet but certain. "You've felt it too, haven't you?"
Pakura sighed, a small smile tugging at her lips. "I thought it was just exhaustion at first... but it's not."
The realization hung in the air, both of them knowing what it meant. They had been expecting this possibility for a while, but now that the moment had arrived, it felt surreal.
Mikoto chuckled softly, shaking her head. "After all those nights... it's a wonder we lasted this long."
Pakura nodded in agreement, her expression thoughtful as she placed a hand on her own stomach. "Should we go and tell him?"
Mikoto hesitated for a moment, considering. Now that both of them were pregnant, the situation had shifted in ways she hadn't fully anticipated.
Mikoto paused, her expression thoughtful. "No," she said softly, shaking her head. "We'll tell him later. Right now, he's too focused on his training."
Pakura raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Are you sure? This isn't something we should hide."
Mikoto gave a small, understanding smile. "I know. ..I dont know how will he react he is so close to reaching kage level and he will very distracted if he founds out about this.. i mean it is very important for him."
Pakura sighed, but she didn't argue. Deep down, she understood.
"You're right," Pakura admitted, though a small smile onto her face.
"Hehe 2 little Uchiha's"
Pakura couldn't help but chuckle softly at Mikoto's last comment, her eyes sparkling with a mix of amusement and warmth. "Two little Uchihas, huh? I can already imagine the chaos they'll bring."
Mikoto laughed softly, the tension between them easing slightly. "And with your stubbornness and my temper... they'll be unstoppable."
Pakura shook her head. "They'll probably drive us mad before they even learn to walk."
Hiro sat beneath the tree, his gaze distant as he watched the sunlight filter through the leaves, casting soft shadows on the ground.
Hiro stood up and entered the cave with steady steps, his resolve firm. As he sat down on the bed, Mikoto and Pakura approached him, sensing the weight of his thoughts but knowing it wasn't hesitation or doubt.
"Is there something on your mind, Hiro?" Mikoto asked, her eyes searching his face for answers.
Hiro looked at both of them, calm yet determined. "I've been thinking about exploring the ninja world for a while."
Pakura crossed her arms, giving him a curious glance. "You're already strong, Hiro. Why the rush?"
Hiro sat on the bed, his resolve clear in his eyes as he looked at Mikoto and Pakura. The atmosphere was calm.
Mikoto was the first to speak, her voice steady. "So, you're going to leave for a while?"
Hiro nodded.
"Yes..."
Pakura folded her arms, her expression thoughtful. "hmm. But you know it won't be the same without you here."
Hiro gave a slight nod. "I know. But this place is safe, and you two are more than capable of holding it down. I'll make sure I'm not gone too long."
Mikoto stepped forward, her hand resting on his shoulder. Her eyes, though calm, held a hint of emotion. "Just promise me one thing, Hiro."
He looked at her, waiting.
"Three to four months, no more," she said firmly, but her tone was soft. "Go and do what you need to do, but come back by then."
Hiro's expression softened. He reached up and gently placed his hand over her waist. "I promise. Three to four months, and I'll be back."
After giving his word to Mikoto and Pakura, Hiro knew he couldn't leave without ensuring their safety.
As he stood outside the cave, leaning against a tree, he watched the sun dip lower in the sky, waiting patiently. He knew Konan wouldn't be far.
Soon enough, a familiar figure approached, moving gracefully through the trees. Konan stepped into view, her cloak lightly brushing the ground as her sharp eyes met Hiro's. A faint smile tugged at her lips.
"You're looking for me, Hiro?" she asked, her voice calm but carrying familiarity.
Hiro nodded, standing up straighter. "I am. I'm planning to head out and explore for a few months. There are things I need to accomplish, but I can't leave without knowing they'll be safe." He glanced back toward the cave, where Mikoto and Pakura were.
Konan followed his gaze, understanding immediately. "You want me to watch over them," she said.
Hiro turned back to her. "I trust you, Konan. You're the only one I know who can keep them safe while I'm away. I wouldn't ask this if I didn't believe in you."
Konan looked at him for a moment, her usual cool demeanor softening just slightly. "You know I won't let anything happen to them. They're important to you, which makes them important to me." .
Hiro felt a wave of relief, though his expression remained steady. "Thank you. I won't be gone too long—three, maybe four months."
Konan gave him a small nod, her eyes locking with his. "Go, Hiro. Do what you need to do. I'll take care of things here."
Just as Hiro turned to leave, ready to leave, sudden realization struck him. He hadn't properly said goodbye to Pakura and Mikoto. His heart tugged at him, and he stopped in his tracks, shaking his head with a small chuckle at his own forgetfulness.
Without hesitation, he headed back into the cave, the warmth of the firelight greeting him as he stepped inside. Both Pakura and Mikoto looked up as he entered, surprise flickering in their eyes.
"Forget something?" Pakura asked crossing her arms.
Hiro walked over to them, his gaze soft but resolute. "Yeah, I did." He leaned in, placing a gentle kiss on Pakura's lips, then turned to do the same with Mikoto. The gesture was brief but filled with meaning.
"I'll be back soon," Hiro promised, his voice steady.
Mikoto smiled softly, her hand resting on his arm for a moment. "We'll be waiting. Just don't take too long."
