"I have to admit, I've never felt better" - muttered Tsunade(2) as she saw how she was holding Kazumi, the youngest daughter of her counterpart, in her arms, she could even swear that she was purring, something that made her heart melt.
"I know" - Tsunade(1) replied with a smile as she watched as Hashirama and the others were sleeping on the sofa in the office - "Every day that passes, I experience this very thing."
"I'm so jealous of you, my other self" - Tsunade(2) murmured as she looked at her counterpart - "You have everything I've always wanted, a husband who loves you with all his heart, wonderful children, a huge family."
"You can have the same" - replied Tsunade(1) with a smile - "You only have to follow my example"
"Are you offering me your husband, by any chance?" - Tsunade(2) asked with discomfort because it was a bit strange.
"Let's be honest with each other, I noticed how you look at my husband, so you don't have to play innocent" - replied Tsunade(1) while folding her arms - "Secondly, he is the only one who can help you with your fertility and youth problem"
"But that doesn't take away from the fact that it's awkward" - said Tsunade(2) as she blushed from the embarrassment of being found out.
"Come on, just be honest with yourself" - replied Tsunade(1) as she shook her head - "I could even help you right now, you just have to tell me if you accept or not"
"I have to think about it" - replied Tsunade(2) as she started to think - "I promise to give you an answer when the night comes, but for now, I don't know what to answer you."
"Relax, I wasn't planning to rush your answer" - replied Tsunade(1) with a smile as she created 5 clones to take the children, after all, they were tired from playing so much.
"A happy family" - Tsunade(2) muttered as she sighed regretfully.

Kushina watched silently as the two Naruto's were talking about their adventures and pranks they had played during their youth.
The Uzumaki woman could only smile as she watched the interaction of her two sons, though inside she felt a little strange at the idea of the two being the same person, but of different dimensions.
"Kushina" - Jiraiya said as he appeared on the spot with a slightly hurt face.
"I see you did well" - he replied sarcastically when he saw the appearance of the white-haired Sannin.
"I would have preferred not to get beaten, but I guess I deserve it" - Jiraiya replied as he sighed, though a smile quickly appeared on his face - "Thank Kurama-dono when you see him"
"OK, I will" - nodded Kushina as she looked at her two sons with a smile - "Tell me, what do you think of Naruto?"
"I'm going, to be honest with you, I feel that he deserves a family, which I couldn't give him" - replied Jiraiya regretfully - "I'm not going to make excuses, so I'll just say that I regret not being able to be by my godson's side when he needed it the most"
"It's better late than never, Jiraiya" - Kushina replied as she took a breath and walked to the young men.
Jiraiya saw this as he thought about what had happened in Nadeshiko Village, only to nod firmly - "You're right, it's better late than never."
He had managed to convince the leader of Nadeshiko Village to forgive him for what he had done, though this he did because of his very deplorable state of health, he even managed to get his daughter not to come and bother his godson about their stupid laws.
"Kaasan?" - Naruto(1) said as his counterpart looked at the red-haired woman.
"Hello, I need to talk to Naruto for a bit" - said Kushina as she looked at her son from this dimension.
Naruto(2) looked at the woman and nodded firmly. She might not be his real mother, but he should know a lot of things about her, after all, the two of them had lived through the same experiences.
Kushina smiled when she saw this as the two began to talk.
Naruto(1) watched this with a smile as he gave Jiraiya a look - "Do you want to do something?"
"I have a little time to spend" - Jiraiya replied as he shrugged - "What do you want to do?"
"I'd like to see if there are any differences from the Konoha I remember" - Naruto(1) replied with a smile - "Incidentally, I'd like to buy some things that can only be bought in this village"
"You mean 'that'?" - Jiraiya asked as his eyes widened in surprise - "I see, sounds good to me, then we can go to a casino. If you're Naruto, then you must have his same luck."
"Hmm, I guess we can do that" - replied Naruto(1) as he shrugged his shoulders - "That way we can let them talk to themselves"
"You're pretty mature for your age" - said Jiraiya as he looked at his godson from another dimension.
"I'm not mature, I just know how to read the environment" - Naruto(1) replied as he rolled his eyes at the Sannin.

"Seriously, you should worry less about that Emo and more about yourself" - said Ino(1) while shaking her head after hearing how her other self was trying to express her feelings - "You already wasted a big part of your childhood in chasing a guy who didn't even pay attention to you."
"I know, but my heart moves just seeing him" - sighed Ino(2) as she shook her head.
"How about trying to find someone else?" - Ino(1) asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Someone else? I don't know" - replied Ino(2) as she started to think - "I mean, there aren't many guys to choose from. Neji is a pain in the ass, Lee is weird, Shikamaru and Choji are like brothers to me, Kankuro is just as weird as Lee, Gaara is scary, Shino is Shino, and Kiba is a dog in heat."
"What about Naruto?" - Ino(1) asked as she tried to inquire as to what she thought of her 'son's' counterpart.
"Naruto?" - Ino(1) replied as she frowned and started to think - "Let's see, he was a rowdy guy, but he had always been kind of cute, too bad he has such bad taste in clothes. If it wasn't for that, then maybe he'd be a little more popular."
"So what do you think of him as a guy?" - Ino(1) asked as a small smile appeared on her face.
"Well, he's someone nice who always looks out for his friends, but I wouldn't say I like him as a partner" - replied Ino(2) while shaking her head - "Not to mention that he's the guy Hinata-chan likes, and as a friend, I don't plan to get in the way of her odyssey, not with how hard she's making it on herself"
"True, Hinata-chan is too shy" - nodded Ino(2) as she remembered how her friend's counterpart had acted - "Let's just hope that my Hinata-chan manages to help yours."
"Let's hope so" - nodded Ino(2) as she looked at her other self - "Because she needs all the help she can get with how dense Naruto is."
The two Ino's laughed when they heard this as they began to discuss their lives, only for the young Yamanaka to start feeling some huge jealousy of the very happy life her other self had with her husband.
* * * * *
"I hope my advice will help you" - Hinata(1) said as she looked at her younger version.
"I think I can try, although I feel it's too much for me" - Hinata(2) muttered with a red face.
"Listen to me, you just have to be yourself and you'll make it" - said Hinata(1) as she tried to encourage her younger self - "I made it, that means you can too, after all, we are the same."
Hinata(2) was silent for a few seconds before she nodded firmly - "You're right, thank you."
"You don't have to thank me" - smiled Hinata(1) as she looked fondly at her other-self. It was like talking to a daughter instead of herself, after all, she could feel the dependence the other Hinata had on her - "By the way, I'm going to train you with everything I have so you can stand by Naruto-chan's side, so you can look him in the eyes with pride like a full Hyuga"
Hinata(2) nodded firmly. She could feel her courage increase with every motivational word her other self was telling her, only to notice how she had discovered what she had been looking for all this time, a supportive person.
"Okay, we'll start tomorrow, but now we'll go to your home" - Hinata(1) said seriously, only to notice how her other self was starting to sweat - "Relax, we'll just go talk to Hanabi-chan because you two need to mend your relationship."
"B-But" - Hinata(2) replied regretfully. She really wanted to reconcile with her younger sister, but she was too cold.
"Relax, if she's like my Hanabi, then she wishes she could talk to you like they did before she went into training" - replied Hinata(1) with a smile as she stroked her counterpart's head.
"OK" - muttered Hinata(2), only to sigh regretfully.
