"This is humiliating" - Sasuke muttered after Kurama forced him to kneel on Seiza and was scolded by his mother.
"We're not done yet, young man!" - Mikoto exclaimed as she continued to scold her son for everything he had done over the years. She was releasing everything she had inside after hearing what had happened, and to Sasuke's relief, she began to scold her eldest son too.
Itachi just lowered his head as he received his mother's words, unable to do anything to defend himself because one, he knew she was doing it because she was worried, and two because Kurama was still watching them.
"Okay, I think that's enough" - Kurama said as he gained everyone's attention.
Mikoto gave her husband a look before calming down and walking to her daughter.
Sasuke slowly stood up as he glared hatefully at the black-haired woman, then focused on the white-haired man - "I think it's about time you guys told us the truth."
"Your personality change was too drastic" - Kurama replied as he raised an eyebrow.
"I have to keep my cool, after all, you can kill me extremely easily" - Sasuke replied as he narrowed his eyes.
"True" - nodded Kurama as he gave him a small smile - "And answering your question, we come from another dimension very different from this one."
"Ok, I think you're crazy" - said Sasuke without thinking twice - "If you don't want to reveal the truth, then don't say anything."
"Sasuke, I think he's telling the truth" - Itachi replied neutrally as he found that it all made sense.
"By the way, in our dimension, you guys have your own families, even Sasuke has a daughter" - Kurama replied as he explained to them what had happened in their dimension.
"Oh god, everything but the Pink Banshee!" - Sasuke exclaimed in terror as he wished he had his other version to beat him for the stupid thing he had done.
"More respect with your wife, Mr. Emo Avenger!" - Mikoto exclaimed as she went back to lecturing her son - "Sakura-chan is a wonderful woman, she not only loves your version with all her heart, she even trained to exhaustion so she could be by your side!"
"Oh god, someone put an end to this ordeal" - Sasuke muttered as Mikoto again started to scold him - "Itachi, why don't you finish what you started and kill me once and for all?"
"Are you listening to me!" - Mikoto exclaimed as her Sharingan began to spin.
"No" - replied Sasuke without a second thought.
"Sasuke, listen to Kaasan" - replied Itachi as a small smile appeared on his face as he watched his younger brother being lectured.
"I'd rather eat my freshly plucked fingers" - Sasuke replied as he groaned in pain as he felt his mother tugging on his ear - "I swear to god if you don't let go of me, I'm going to shove a Chidori up your...!"
"Complete that sentence and I swear I'm going to take you to our dimension to enjoy the wonders of Oto!" - Mikoto roared as she glared at her son with cold eyes.
"Wonders of Oto?" - Itachi asked curiously as he looked at the albino.
"Oh, believe me when I tell you that you better not know what she's talking about" - Kurama replied as he shook his head - "But if you're curious, it's about sausage fighting."

"This is boring" - Kisame muttered while squinting his eyes. He was waiting for Itachi to come back after checking whatever he had to check - "Though in retrospect it's not that bad, I mean, doing missions with Itachi is just as boring."
"Who's there!" - A female voice exclaimed.
"Oh right, I'm incognito" - muttered Kisame as he disappeared from the place, only for after a few seconds, two people to appear right where he had been before.
"Did you hear something, Neko?" - A brown-haired man with pupil-less eyes asked.
"No, I think it was just me, Tanzo senpai" - replied Yugao while shaking her head.
"I told you that my name is now Yamato" - said Yamato while shaking his head, but not before kneeling and putting his hands on the ground - ". . ."
"Did you find something, Yamato senpai?" - Yugao asked as she corrected her manner of calling out to the man.
"The surrounding plants just informed me that someone was here, though their chakra was so large that they couldn't quite identify it" - Yamato replied as he looked at the Anbu - "What they could tell me is that it was radiating a Suiton scent"
"We'd better go inform Tsunade-sama about this" - said Yugao as she started thinking - "For such a strong person to come to Konoha incognito, is not a good sign for us.
"I share your same opinion, Yugao-san" - Yamato replied as the two disappeared from the place, only for from the pond where the Koi fish of the Uchiha clan lived, a shark-like man appeared - "Ok, I think I messed up. I better go inform Itachi about the change in the situation."

"Anything else you want to know?" - Kurama asked as he looked at the two Uchiha of this dimension after explaining in more detail about everything that had happened.
"I'm jealous of my other self" - Itachi replied after hearing everything - "He not only managed to do what I couldn't, keep his family, but he also managed to find happiness."
Sasuke was silent for a few seconds as he felt his conviction begin to wane - "Itachi, why did you do it?"
Mikoto sighed regretfully for she knew about the reason, after all, the Tsunade of this dimension had told them about the Uchiha clan's attempt to rise to power.
"I did it for Konoha, for you" - Itachi answered as he closed his eyes - "Sasuke, the Uchiha clan was about to carry out a coup d'état"
"!" - Sasuke opened his eyes in surprise when he heard this as he felt his heart pounding.
"I tried to convince father to desist, but he wouldn't understand with words, that's why I decided to tell Hiruzen-sama about the clan's actions" - Itachi replied as he looked at his younger brother - "We tried to stop them without causing casualties, but we didn't count on that someone would get in the way."
"Who?" - Sasuke asked as he started to tremble.
"Danzo" - Itachi replied coldly - "He used the opportunity to annihilate our entire clan with the help of an unknown Uchiha while I killed our parents. He told me that if I did that, you could continue to live."
"!" - Sasuke was shocked when he heard this. He was finally understanding his older brother's actions, and how he had done everything for Konoha and him.
"The Uchiha clan is a cursed clan" - Kurama said as he gained the attention of the youngest Uchiha brother - "They love with all their heart, that's why when they lose their loved ones, they go into a state of uncontrolled madness and rage."
"Kurama-san is right, Sasuke" - Itachi replied as he smiled weakly - "The more we love something, the more we suffer its loss."
Sasuke was at a loss for words as tears ran down his cheeks - "Why, why did things have to be like this?"
"I did my job as an older brother, and as a shinobi of Konoha" - Itachi said as he looked at his younger brother - "I protected my home and the most important person in my life."
". . ." - Sasuke bit his lip as he bit his lip at this feeling of injustice. He had hated the only person who had loved him with all his heart, the only person who had watched over his safety - "I'm sorry."
Mikoto smiled when she saw this as she walked over to her two children and hugged them warmly.
Sasuke began to cry without him being able to do anything to stop it. The barriers that covered his heart were shattering as he hugged his mother and felt her affection.
"Go" - said Kurama as he directed his daughter to go to her mother and siblings.
"OK" - nodded Izumi as she approached carefully. She was still on the defensive with her siblings from this dimension, though after seeing how her mother told her to approach without care, she nodded firmly.
Kurama slowly disappeared from the scene, only to reappear in front of Kisame.
"Huh?" - Kisame was surprised to see this unknown man, more so when she felt the enormous power he was radiating - ". . ."
"Hey, how about we talk a little, Hoshigaki Kisame?" - Kurama asked as he gave the Akatsuki member a huge smile.
"Ugh, ok, I have no choice" - muttered Kisame as he followed the albino with a serious expression on his face, after all, Samehada was trembling as she told him not to do anything stupid.
