Extra 23: [Captain Tsubasa] (2/2)

"Better get on with the introductions" - Kushina said with a frown.

"As captain of the Uzu team, here we have the Crimson Princess, Uzumaki Akane!" - Jiraiya exclaimed as everyone looked at Kushina's youngest daughter, a cute little girl of about 10 years old with crimson red hair and violet eyes. She was wearing a red uniform with blue - "She's a miniature version of Kushina, so her future husband should be very careful!"

Kushina and Kurama gave the white-haired Sannin a blank stare as Naruto made a mental note to play a triple Delux prank on him.

"We're going to win dattebane today!" - Akane shouted excitedly, only to blush as she heard what he had said.

"And there's the legendary verbal tick of Uzumaki royalty!" - Jiraiya exclaimed as the little girl blushed even more.

"Make that sixfold Delux"- Naruto muttered coldly as he saw how Jiraiya had embarrassed his little Imouto even more, and to Jiraiya's misfortune, he wasn't the only one who was thinking that because both Kushina, and Kurama, were looking neutrally at the poor Sannin.

"Giving support to Akane-chan, are the twins Akihiko and Himiko" - Reika said as she saw how her husband seemed to have frozen from the Uzumaki's gaze. That's when two children so similar entered, that if it wasn't for their hairstyle and their clear gender differences, no one would be able to see the difference.

Akihiko Terumi and Himiko Uzumaki, the children of Mei Terumi and Kurama. The boy had taken his mother's clan because being a boy, his children would continue the Terumi clan's bloodline.

"Are you ready brother!" - Himiko asked with a smile as she looked at her younger brother for a few seconds.

"Anytime sister!" - Akihiko replied with a smile as he nodded firmly.

"In the midfield, we have Himari and Hebimaru!" - Jiraiya exclaimed, who had recovered as he introduced Konan and Anko's children.

"Why didn't they let Ai-chan replace me?" - Hebimaru asked as he looked in Takako's direction, only to notice how the girl was looking directly at him.

"Relax Otouto, it could be worse" - smiled Himari as she patted him on the shoulder as she saw his situation - "You could be Rai Inuzuka"

"True" - nodded Hebimaru as he saw how the aforementioned was now nothing more than a popsicle courtesy of his older sister.

"As defenses are the relentless threat, 5 of the 6 sextuplets!" - Jiraiya exclaimed as he introduced Hashirama, Mito, Tobirama, Dan, and Nawaki - "And as the keeper of the Konoha team, there is none other than Kazumi-chan!"

He finished speaking, and six 16-year-olds appeared on the field.

"Epic entrance!" - Hashirama exclaimed, who had an amused smile on his face along with his long brown hair - "Boo-yah!".

"Stop embarrassing us, Hashirama!" - Mito exclaimed as he gave her a hard smack on the back of the head. Her red hair pulled into a ponytail and her hazel eyes glowed with feminine fury for her older brother.

Tobirama just gave them a bored look while Dan stood with a calm smile. Nawaki was hiding behind Dan as he looked around curiously.

"You don't have to be so shy, Nawaki" - Dan said as he looked at his younger brother.

"I know, it's just that it's the first time I feel like I'm being seen by so many people" - Nawaki replied shyly.

"Relax, Ani, Kaasan is watching us" - said Kazumi as she waved in the direction where Tsunade was, only to smile when she heard a childish voice.

"Good luck, brothers, sisters!" - shouted a small 5-year-old boy with white hair and pearly eyes. He was wearing a white yukata with a Rinnegan symbol and 9 magatamas encircling it on his back.

"We don't need it, Shiki-chan!" - Akane shouted with a huge Uzumaki smile.

"It's good that you are confident in your abilities, but don't belittle your enemies, my little red storm" - said Kurama as he appeared in front of his daughter.

"I'm sorry, Tousan" - replied Kazumi as she averted her gaze.

"Don't worry, just remember not to do it again" - replied Kurama with a smile.

"When am I going to get to play with them, Okaa-sama?" - Shiki asked as he gave Kaguya a look.

"Soon, my little moon shard" - Kaguya replied as she gently hugged her son, further reinforcing that her decision had been the right one. She loved her sons Hamura and Hagoromo, but Shiki was special to her, after all, he meant her happy future.

Shiki smiled happily when he heard this as he let out a small laugh.

Kurama watched all this from the soccer field with a smile on his face, only to signal the boys to gather around so he could greet their opponents.

"It's good to see you, Akane-chan" - Sarada said as she looked at the younger sister of the boy she liked.

"I don't think so, Sarada" - snorted Akane as she glared at Sasuke's daughter - "If you want something with Naruto Nii, you're going to have to get past me first."

"Why are you being so defensive with me?" - Sarada asked with a frown - "Anyway, if that's what you want, I guess I'll humor you, I just hope you don't end up crying when we defeat you guys."

"I hope you can hold your own with those words because it'll be embarrassing when we beat you up" - replied Akane with disdain.

* * * * *

"And what do you think about that, Naruto Nii-san?" - Izumi, who was now a beautiful woman, asked. She was the spitting image of her mother, only with red locks in her black hair and a little less developed.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Izumi-chan" - replied Naruto calmly. He was very similar to his father, except that he had spiky red hair, three whisker marks on his cheeks, and wore an insane amount of orange clothes.

He, like Izumi and Ryu, was among the most sought-after youths in the Elemental Nations, all thanks to their appearance and lineage.

". . ." - Izumi sighed regretfully when she heard this, only to feel a hand on her shoulder.

"You know very well that Nii-san is dense when it comes to this kind of situation" - said a handsome young man with green hair with red locks who was wearing glasses. He was now the current leader of the biggest line of stores in all of Uzu.

At his young age, Ryu was considered one of the greatest merchants in the Elemental Nations, all thanks to his premature education and the support of his family.

"Are you still wearing those glasses, Ryu-chan?" - Izumi asked as she looked at her younger brother.

"They're quite useful for my line of work," Ryu replied as he shrugged his shoulders.

Kurama had designed Ryu's glasses so that they could identify the components of anything he saw, making it much easier to identify fake or recreated objects.

"Seriously, you two are boring," Izumi muttered as she looked at her two brothers. Naruto was spending his time training alongside Inari and his father while Ryu was spending most of his time working.

"We're not boring, it's just that our time is limited even with the Kage Bunshin" - Ryu replied calmly - "Not to mention that we already decided what we want to do in the future."

Izumi sighed when she heard this because out of Kurama's three firstborns, she was the only one who didn't know what to do with her life.

"Shhh! It's about to start!" - Naruto said with a smile - "Good luck, guys!"

"Good! Nii's rooting for us!" - Akane exclaimed with a smile.

"Naruto Nii-san is rooting for me ~!" - Sarada thought as she adjusted her glasses so she could hide the blush on her cheeks.

"OK guys, if you need me, I have some things to do" - Naruto said as he disappeared from the place with an amused smile on his lips.

"I have a bad feeling" - Ryu said as he adjusted his glasses.

"Should we tell Tousan?" - Izumi asked as she looked at her younger brother.

"I don't think it'll do any good" - sighed Ryu as he shook his head - "You know very well that when Nii-san sets out to pull a prank, there's no one to stop him."

"Except Kushina Kaasan" - said Izumi as she looked in the direction of the Uzumaki matriarch.

"True" - nodded Ryu as he looked at the red-haired woman, only to shake his head - "But I don't think she'll do anything either."

Izumi was about to say something else but kept silent as she heard Jiraiya call the match to start.

* * * * *

So how did the match end?

Let's just say that a certain prankster activated a seal that made the soccer field stretch so far, that even after two episodes, I mean 45 minutes of play, the players couldn't reach the other side of the field.

Now the question is, why didn't Kurama do anything to fix the problem?

Simple, because he had found it amusing to see how the kids looked like they had walked into an episode of [Captain Tsubasa].

Naruto, on the other hand, had been punished by his mother.
