Chapter 382 - Extra 1: Tsunade

Have you ever felt that things are not as they should be?

Have you ever felt that your life feels empty even though you have everything?

Have you ever felt that there is something in you that feels out of place?

That happens to me more often than you think. My name is Beatrice, daughter of a famous English writer. I have been blessed with everything a person could wish for, a loving family that has always supported me, a great fortune thanks to my father, an enviable body, and siblings that always bring a smile to my face, but, I feel like something is missing.

Why do I feel this way, why do I feel empty despite everything?

I don't know, no matter how much I think about it, I can never get the answer. No matter how hard I look, I can never find what I'm missing, but I feel like today will be different, today is my 18th birthday and I feel like I'm finally going to find out what's bothering me so much.

A beautiful woman with blonde hair, honey-colored eyes, and a body so seductive that she could compete with those women that appeared in those a.d.u.l.t magazines, was walking towards the living room of her mansion. She was Beatrice, the girl who had a birthday today and one of the most coveted girls in the City of London.

"Happy birthday, my little girl" - said a man with brown hair and honey-colored eyes as he looked at the beautiful young woman.

"Thank you, father" - smiled Beatrice as she continued her walk around the place.

People were watching her with excitement, as she was not one of those people who liked to go to parties.

"Honey" - said a blonde woman as she walked towards the young woman.

"Mother" - Beatriz smiled, but her expression changed to a frown when she noticed that she was accompanied by a man she knew quite well - "What are you doing here?"

"I have come to talk to your parents to ask for your hand, my beloved Beatrice" - said the man as he looked at her prominent body.

"I have already told you a thousand times that I will not accept, no matter how many times you ask, I will never accept" - Beatriz said coldly - "So you can leave at once because I don't wish to see your face on my birthday"

The man's eyebrow quivered slightly as he gave the girl a snort and left with clear irritation.

"You shouldn't be this rude to Rodrick" - the girl's mother said with annoyance.

"On the contrary, mother, if I am nice, he will think I am interested in him" - Beatrice snorted while shaking her head.

Her mother just shook her head because she found it a waste. Rodrick was one of the most sought-after gentlemen in London and would make a fine husband for her daughter, but she seemed to be reluctant to the idea of such a union - "Ok, I won't talk about it anymore."

"Thank you, mother" - Beatrice said as she felt a slight headache.

"Daughter!" - exclaimed the blonde woman as she grabbed her heiress.

"I'm sorry, I need some air" - said Beatriz as she walked silently to the balcony - "What was that, why did I see for a few seconds the smiling face of a white-haired man I don't know?"

She could feel her heart pounding every time she remembered that well-defined face of that mysterious man.

She wouldn't lie, he was handsome, much more handsome than anyone she had ever seen before, to the point that he shouldn't be human.

"Who are you?" - Beatrice murmured as she looked up at the moon overhead, not noticing how a pair of eyes of a different color, was gazing at her affectionately from the shadows.

"Our family has a tradition of celebrating our birthday at the exact time we came into the world, that's why we are thankful that you all are here present with us" - said Beatriz's father as he looked around, to then look at his watch and notice that it was 21:44, one minute to go until it was his daughter's birthday - "Now! Let's welcome the birthday girl!"

Beatriz walked with a smile to where her father was standing, only to feel the place change in front of her eyes.

"Beatriz?" - Her father asked as he noticed how his daughter had stopped, noticing how she grabbed her head - "Daughter!"

"Beatrice!" - exclaimed her mother as she ran to her little girl.

"What's going on!" - exclaimed the man as he looked around in surprise and fear, everything seemed to have frozen the moment he and his wife had touched their princess.

"That I can answer" - said a man with white hair and eyes of a different color.

Beatrice blushed at the newcomer's appearance, only to feel memories begin to invade her head.

"W-Who are you?" - The father asked as he stood in front of his family.

"Kurama" - Beatriz said as she looked up still in pain - "Is it really you?"

"Beatriz?" - asked the girl's parents in surprise as their daughter recognized the man in front of her.

"It's good to see you once again, Tsunade" - Kurama said while offering a loving smile to the woman - "It's been so many years since I last saw you and you're still one of the most beautiful women I've ever met in my entire life"

Beatriz slowly stood up, only for her parents to notice a slight change in their daughter, she now had a sort of diamond-shaped mole on her forehead, as well as a completely different air - "Who are you and what did you do with our daughter!"

"I am your daughter, it's just that at the same time I'm not anymore" - sighed 'Beatrice', or rather Tsunade as she looked at the couple in front of her - "Give me a moment to explain."

"No, I'll show you myself" - said Kurama as his Rinnegan glowed slightly and in the process, 'trapping' Beatrice's parents in what seemed to be astral travel.

When they snapped back to their senses, they didn't know how to react to the situation.

"Father, Mother, I'm still Beatrice" - said Tsunade as she hugged both of her parents - "But"

"I know" - sighed her father regretfully - "I understand what you are trying to say."

He still didn't believe what he had seen, but the evidence was too great to say that it was all false.

"Daughter, now I understand why you always felt so empty" - said her mother as she hugged her in tears. She could understand the pain and suffering her daughter had to go through every time she died in the arms of her beloved, more knowing how he would have to wait hundreds of years to see her again. It was a love story as romantic, as it was tragic.

"You have my respects" - said Beatrice's father as he looked at Kurama - "Not just anyone would do what you did for them."

"But it's worth it" - said Kurama as he looked at the couple in front of him - "Every second of waiting is worth it."

Tsunade didn't resist anymore, she just jumped into her beloved's arms as she started to cry with everything she had. Her memories were still fresh with the reminder of her death in his arms. For her, it had only been a few years, but for Kurama, it had been hundreds and even thousands of years.

"Father, Mother" - Tsunade murmured as she looked at the parents she had in this life.

"Say no more" - smiled Tsunade's father as he looked at his daughter - "As long as you are happy, nothing else matters."

"Thank you" - Tsunade murmured as she ran to hug her parents - "Thank you very much."

Kurama smiled at this, but his expression changed when he noticed a small detail. He quickly appeared in front of Tsunade's mother and put his hand on her belly.

"What are you doing!" - The man exclaimed angrily, only to calm down when he noticed his daughter's expression.

"Your child is now safe" - Kurama replied as he looked at the couple - "He will now be born safe and sound!"

"!" - Tsunade's mother was surprised when she heard this because she had found out about her pregnancy only a few hours ago.

"Your baby was developing with a heart problem, that's why I gave him some of my energy to help him" - replied Kurama with a smile - "Now he will be born with a strong heart, I also cured a small problem your wife had inside her, now there won't be any kind of problem with future pregnancies."

"Thank you" - murmured the man. He still did not completely trust the man in front of him, but at the same time, he understood that he did not gain anything by deceiving them.

The woman cried with happiness when she heard this because her doctor had said something similar - "Thank you, thank you very much!"

The man was surprised when he heard this, only to understand how true the words of the man in front of him were - "Thank you very much!"

"Don't worry" - Kurama replied calmly - "Now, I won't erase your memories about Tsunade, but I will make everyone else think that she was nothing but an illusion, with this, she will be free to visit you without fear that someone will wonder about her absence"

"See you soon, mother, father" - Tsunade said as she gave her parents one last hug from this life, before disappearing along with Kurama. They would come back to see them when their youngest son came into the world.
