Finally, all guests from the six Parallel Worlds had arrived.
Three Madaras surrounded one Hashirama, arguing and bickering.
Two Tobiramas, along with three Orochimarus, lectured Hiruzen.
Three Tsunades pulled Mito to start playing cards, but hesitated to bet.
Two Sasukes continued teasing poor little Itachi.
Two Itachis tead up to train poor Shisui.
Boruto dragged his mom Hinata, leading Kawaki and Sarada, sneaking into Naruto’s nursery.
Three Narutos gleefully squeezed into the crowd, joining the baby Sasuke Parallel World 3 teasing squad.
The rest busied themselves with their own affairs—such opportunities were too rare.
The entire hall buzzed. Various groups chatted, settled grudges, vented complaints in a ’harmonious and joyful’ atmosphere.
As ti passed,
Strong cooking aromas wafted from the kitchen. Familiar scents evoked favorite dishes, heightening anticipation for the feast.
Especially for so Narutos—their stomachs protested uncontrollably. This conveniently masked Hinata’s hunger growls, sparing her earth-swallowing embarrassnt.
Ti neared eight o’clock.
*BUZZ!*
With a spiral-distorted space wave, Parallel World 4 Obito, out fetching orders, finally returned.
"Kakashi? Why’re you guarding the door alone?"
"Huh?"
"What book you holding? Let see?"
Obito erged from Kamui dinsion, spotting his best friend peeking at an ecchi book by the door, instantly curious.
"Nothing, just a gift from my future self."
Young Kakashi hurriedly hid the ecchi book.
Though he hadn’t fully grasped its appeal, as a gift, he couldn’t let Obito ruin it.
"What’s wrong with seeing?"
"Wait, your future self? You..."
Young Obito startled, feeling locked by several auras. He stiffly turned to the house interior, freezing in shock.
Parallel World 3 and 7 Kakashis locked onto Parallel World 4 Obito.
Simultaneously, Parallel World 5 Six Paths Nagato and Konan glanced over; but just a peek, not targeting.
Obito in their world was dead. Six Paths Nagato naturally wouldn’t bla this teen Obito much.
But the other two adult Kakashis differed.
Teen Obito!
For Kakashi, who’d restrained himself for decades, this temptation was overwhelming!
Seeing this, teen Obito shivered. Though he couldn’t see grins behind the two future Kakashis’ masks, those hot gazes—like wanting to devour him—sent chills.
(Those two adult Kakashis definitely wanna hurt !)
(I can’t let them succeed!)
Obito ignored questions, rushing to the kitchen.
Only Minato and wife seed able to save him.
"Teacher’s wife, help!"
Obito lunged to Kushina’s side, evading perfectly.
"Obito, back? Food enough?"
"Of course, plenty. This amount nearly killed Ichiraku’s chef from exhaustion."
"Great, tell Minato. Ti’s near."
Kushina relieved. She feared tonight’s portions insufficient.
"Sensei, I’m back!"
"Obito, yeah? Perfect timing. I’m nearly done prepping. Let’s start the party!"
Minato poked his head out, smiling.
"Kushina, arrange seating."
"Rin, help your teacher’s wife."
Minato transmitted.
"Got it."
Edo Tensei Rin washed hands, exiting to assist.
Obito bead instantly, shrinking bonelessly to Rin’s side like Tom cat.
He provocatively eyed the distant two adult Kakashis, eyes full of challenge.
With smug ’dare try !’ expression.
Indeed.
Under Edo Tensei Rin’s protection, the two adult Kakashis hesitated—ntally unready to face Rin.
Kushina, signaled by Minato, proactively invited guests to sit, prepping dinner feast.
Hearing the feast starting soon, everyone halted ’affairs,’ obediently seating.
After all, Minato’s family dinner—how not respect it?
Plus, post-al ti aplenty.
Or, after filling up, ’exercise’ could be more energetic!
Soon, all seated.
Minato dispatched ten Shadow Clones, swiftly serving food.
Golden flashes blinked. In monts, dozens of delicious dishes appeared. Rich aromas seeped hearts, whetting appetites.
So dishes even glowed golden!
How far had Minato honed cooking?
"Wow! Three-Color Dango!"
"Grilled Sanma? Perfect!"
"Zosui Mushrooms! Sensei made this?"
"Hamburgers too? How in this era? Grandpa, how’d you?"
"This cake’s fragrant red tea aroma—what is it?"
Seeing Minato’s specially prepared favorites, many younger guests excited, eyes sparkling.
After all, even unhealthiest foods, at such feast, elders wouldn’t nag. They could indulge freely.
"Minato, thanks for your hard work!" Hashirama cheered joyfully.
"Minato, well done. Next ti, invite you as guest at mine!" Parallel World 1 Tobirama laughed.
"You can cook? All talk!" Parallel World 1 Izuna retorted.
"I can’t, but Naori can! So what?" Parallel World 1 Tobirama boasted.
"Shaless, what’s her cooking got with you?" Parallel World 2 Tobirama muttered.
"She loves cooking for —what’s it to you, old fossil?" Parallel World 1 Tobirama fired back.
"You, I’ll fight you!" Parallel World 2 Tobirama raged.
"Hahaha..."
Everyone laughed. Atmosphere harmonious and fun.
"Anyway. Thanks all for coming to our family dinner! Let’s start. Tonight, enjoy fully!"
Minato skipped formalities. After all, not dayti nation ceremony, but private family feast.
Better joyful communal eating than empty words!
True happiness!
Simultaneously, Obito unpacked Kamui dinsion haul.
Three hundred ran portions piled small mountain. Aroma intoxicated big eaters.
"Minato, sake?" Tsunade asked first.
Other drinkers perked.
"Of course!"
Minato clones brought sake barrels and liquor, pouring quickly.
Of course, underage ninjas barred alcohol. Even near-adult Parallel World 5 NaruSasu got juice and soda.
"Cheers~~Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ!"
"Cheers~~Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ!"
"Cheers~~Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ!"
Everyone toasted enthusiastically, joyfully.
Drunk little Itachi eagerly raised glass—but soda secretly swapped for liquor...
One gulp, today’s soda burned spicy.
Then, dizzy, he saw grinning Sasukes before him.
Amid bustling feast, Sarada snuck beside Parallel World 3 Itachi, quizzing uncle on Dad’s childhood flaws.
Kushina relentlessly clipped food to Hinata and Himawari’s bowls. Couldn’t let daughter-in-law and granddaughter starve!
Three Orochimarus snagged nearby Obito. Spoon rice, then lick Obito, observing Kama seal changes.
Konan sincerely sought Tsunade’s youth-preservation tips. Nagato and Jiraiya boozed.
Six Paths Naruto gleefully played with baby Sasuke; Six Paths Sasuke carefully fed baby Naruto.
Boruto approached Naori, secretly querying Hikarī’s deeds.
Kawaki and teen Naruto started drinking gas—whoever lost had to stab Parallel World 5 Naruto’s butt!
In short, everyone dropped guards, wholeheartedly enjoying rare feast.
Entire dinner enveloped in brilliant happiness.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
As hall imrsed in relaxed feast,
Outside now,
One figure hid under window, crying.
Incompetent Parallel World 4 Danzo listened to house laughter and chatter. He sank into deep sorrow and regret.
If he’d upheld principles, wholeheartedly helped Hiruzen, maybe he’d sit gracefully at that feast now.
Sadly, no ifs.
Though Parallel World 4 Danzo hadn’t hard Shisui, exterminated Uchiha, hurt NaruSasu; sin of colluding with Salamander Hanzo to kill Yahiko inescapable.
Plus two Tobiramas and Madaras inside, how dare he enter?
Though Minato invited, he lacked courage to attend.
Though repented, contributed to Parallel World 4 Konoha unification, still no bravery facing past dark self.
Even lacked courage eting other Parallel World 3 Hiruzen.
Feared his appearance sparking Tobirama’s rage, dragging Hiruzen down...
But he missed Hiruzen dearly!
Thus, took great risk, peeking here.
Even hearing Hiruzen’s voice again sufficed.
*SHUA!*
Window suddenly opened, startling despairing Danzo under eaves.
He looked up, realizing window-opener was longed-for Parallel World 3 Hiruzen.
"Sst!"
"Hiruzen, how’d you know I’m here?"
"Sensed your Chakra! Anyway, eat so. I sneaked food. Tobirama-sensei didn’t see!"
"Hiruzen, you—!"
Hiruzen handed food to window-outside Danzo.
Two middle-aged old n gazed. Endless friendship and sorrow radiated. Both teary-eyed.
Just, with Danzo’s power, how hide from house big shots?
Hiruzen’s sneaking food to window for old friend—even less hideable from Tobirama.
Just, no one exposed, even approved Hiruzen eting Danzo.
By now, Danzo’s minor sins unworthy pursuit.
Even Six Paths Nagato quietly overlooked. Respect to Minato, and Parallel World 5’s eviler Danzo already dead by their and Sasuke’s hands.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Ti flew. Bustling feast lasted full hour.
Nearly all ate full and satisfied.
Especially beside so Narutos and Hinata—empty bowls piled person-high, showcasing feats.
Undoubtedly,
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed family feast, in host-guest joyful vibe.
Post-al, activities began.
Drunk three Tsunades started cards and gambling.
Three Madaras arm-wrestled Hashirama, hauled liquor barrels to adjacent karaoke.
Three Orochimarus dragged Obito to secret room; even used little Naruto nudes, tricking naive Kawaki inside.
Three Kakashis gathered for book review sharing. Two adults shared for little Kakashi; Jiraiya and Kashin Koji invited.
Teen and young Sasuke dragged dizzy little Itachi to another room rest.
Mito quietly pulled Naori to teach husband-taming arts, avoiding repeated mistakes.
Kushina, Mikoto, Hinata, Sakura gossiped food and baking. Kushina shared enthusiastically.
Edo Tensei Rin, Sarada, Himawari hit nearby mall for shopping and try-ons.
Izuna, Kagami, Shisui shared Sharingan Genjutsu secrets. Just, little Shisui as sharing guinea pig.
Boruto rarely invited Six Paths Nagato to console gas; Nagato surprisingly agreed.
Six Paths Sasuke pulled sickly Parallel World 3 Itachi and Parallel World 5 Edo Tensei Itachi outside for private talk. Wanted foolish Onii-sans realizing weaknesses.
Six Paths Naruto dragged two other selves to ntal space; before other Kyuubi, held Bijuu confession eting; shared heart-exchange process with Parallel World 7 Kyuubi. Made other two Kyuubi shudder, nonstop agreeing.
As for Minato, naturally busy dishwashing in kitchen; just, clones actually washing.
