The next day, it was Saturday so the academy was closed today. Today was the day Sasuke and Naruto decided to question Mikoto, Izumi, Kushina and Akihiko to confirm their suspicion.
Naruto decided to ask Kushina while Sasuke will ask Mikoto and Izumi. They decided to check the signs by talking about Akihiko and see the reactions of their family to guess the result.
Sasuke will then take Mikoto and Izumi on a walk and "coincidentally" et with Naruto who will bring Akihiko and Kushina.
They thought that they were geniuses.
-----
Sasuke was currently in his ho talking with Izumi while Mikoto was making breakfast for them to eat.
"Izumi-nee, how difficult was your chunin exam? How strong is Akihiko?" Sasuke asked as if he was genuinely curious.
"The chunin exams were difficult for others but not too difficult for our team. The first test made us pass though a large maze under 1 hour. There is a chance that you will die in the test. It was very easy for us though since Akihiko-kun teleported us right to the ending mark." Izumi had a slight smile when she ntioned Akihiko and Sasuke noticed that. However, Sasuke also ntally noted that he should ask Akihiko to teach him the teleporting thingy.
He nodded as he continued to observe Izumi as she continued, "The second round was a battle royale. The last 4 teams who remain standing will be the winner. It was also easy although Kagami had difficulties. At first, we saw two teams and and Kagami took care of one team while Akihiko took care of another team all by his own. He even finished the fight within a few minutes." Izumi had a proud smile on her face.
'This is getting more and more suspicious. Why would she be happy about Akihiko's achievents if they aren't too close. Hmmmm.' Sasuke thought.
"After defeating them, there weren't any team left so Akihiko-kun pulled out a seal that he nad "Loud Explosion with Small Firework Seal". It exploded and made a very loud noise that called two teams from Sunagakure towards us. Kagami and I just sat on the ground watching Akihiko destroy the two teams alone with only taijutsu. He didn't even break a sweat after all that."
'I am starting to be sure that Izumi-nee is dating Akihiko. Then, there is a high chance that everything I heard that day was true. So….. there is also a chance that mom is dating Akihiko.' Sasuke thought as he felt lots of emotions.
He was happy that his mom will not be alone since Fugaku never acted warm with Mikoto and his family. He stayed most nights in the Clan Hall and only returned for a few days a month.Sasuke was also confused that the one she was dating was Akihiko and shocked that Akihiko was dating two people at once.
"The third test is just 1 on 1 competition. Akihiko finished all his fights in a second. Everyone was shocked and Akihiko was like "Huh? I already won. Why didn't you announce the result?". So cool right?" Izumi started telling everything with enthusiasm that Sasuke started to deadpan and decided that Izumi is dating Akihiko. He was 100% sure about that.
"Alright, thanks Izumi-nee. I'll go and train a bit more." Sasuke said as he left.
Izumi thought about what she said and felt embarrassed and panicked that Sasuke might know her relationship with Akihiko, then slowly they will know about Mikoto and Kushina.

anwhile, Naruto was starting to feel a bit sad as whenever Kushina talked about Akihiko, she had a happy aura. She was even happier than when she was with her son so he felt a bit sad knowing that. As he felt sad, a certain male nine-tailed fox was grinning inside his little belly.
"Mom, I will go and train with Sasuke." He just ran towards Sasuke's ho as he wanted to ask about what Sasuke has found out.

[Akihiko PoV]
Today, finally Pakura recovered from her injury and currently I was teaching her how to sell so cookies.
"One cookie sells for 100 Ryo."
"100 Ryo?!" Pakura asked surprised by the price.
"Haven't you tasted the cookies yesterday? Aren't they delicious? Then, do you think the price is worth it?"
"Yes, it is."
"Alright, then use transformation jutsu and transform into a young lady. I don't want any rumours concerning "The Hero of Sunagakure" living under my shop." Akihiko said as Pakura transford into a young lady with black shadow length hair and wore a black dress that revealed her back.
"I- I am not associated with Sunagakure anymore. They already betrayed ." Pakura replied as she clenched her teeth.
"Alright then, you have to open the shop for a total of 3 hours. I will give you a monthly wage and if I find out that 1 cookie is missing, I will deduct it from your wage." Akihiko said as he currently looked like a petty, stingy boss.
"Tch, alright."
"Then, take care. Bye~" Akihiko said as he teleported to Kushina's ho. He thought that he hasn't been spending too much ti with Kushina.

[Back to Naruto and Sasuke]
"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto called out for Sasuke as he reached in front of the Uchiha Compound.
Sasuke who heard him quickly went out to find Naruto who looked sad.
"What happened?" Sasuke asked as he felt worried.
"Nothing. I just found out that my mom is happier being with Akihiko than with ."
"I-I see. So, do you think your mom is dating Akihiko too? From my side, I found out that Izumi-nee is definitely dating Akihiko although I am still not sure about my mom."
"I guess so." Naruto replied.
"Don't worry. Your mom still loves you." Sasuke tried to cheer Naruto up.
"Mhmm, let's start the last part of the plan, then." Naruto said as both of them nodded.
Naruto then walked back towards his ho while Sasuke entered inside.
-----
[Back to Akihiko]
Akihiko smiled as he saw Kushina who was currently sitting on a chair while placing her head over her hand thinking about sothing.
Akihiko hugged Kushina warmly from behind surprising Kushina as Akihiko didn't even make a sound.
"Akihiko? Don't you have your shop to manage?" Kushina asked as she turned her head back as she felt familiar hands hugging her.
"I already found soone to help manage the shop. Even if I didn't, I can always use my Kage Bunshins you know. Anyways, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, Naruto was just asking about you and he was sad after the conversation we had. I could feel the sadness since I can sense the emotions of people."
'I see. Naruto wouldn't start to ask this from nowhere which ans that Sasuke or soone else told him to ask. Since he is not close to too many people, it is easy to assu that it was Sasuke. So, from my calculations, it should be that Sasuke and Naruto already started to have suspicions about and their family's relationship. I guess I shouldn't delay it any longer. The earlier the better.' I thought.
"He might have so problems that he can't tell you. Give him so ti and he will be back to normal." Akihiko said as Kushina nodded.
"Yea, I guess you're right. Should I treat him to Ichiraku's more often?" Kushina pondered.
While Akihiko and Kushina were talking, Naruto was currently close to reaching back to his ho.
He arrived and opened the door to see…..
[a/n: These few chapters will be filler since I want to just let Sasuke and Naruto find out about the relationship. After that, I will make a ti skip to canon where they will graduate from the academy.]
