Chapter 88 — “The Son of Stars & Science”

  The lab lights flickered softly as Naruto and Hinata followed Amado inside.

  Eida and Yuta slept peacefully on a medical bed, their hands inches apart, breathing steady.

  Floating above them like a bored housecat… was Daemon.

  Naruto blinked.

  Hinata gasped softly.

  Amado (adjusting glasses):

  “As I said… Eida was designed for Yuta. And this—”

  He pointed upward.

  “—is the byproduct.”

  Daemon drifted down, sniffing Naruto’s face like a puppy.

  Daemon (curious):

  “Who’s this guy?”

  Amado:

  “In human terms… your grandfather.”

  Naruto:

  “H—Huh?!”

  Hinata tilted her head, confused.

  Hinata:

  “But… if they didn’t you know… how is he ten years old? He should be a newborn.”

  Amado breathed in deeply, ready for professor mode.

  Amado:

  “Eida’s body contains a core memory system. When Yuta powered her modifications, her backups formed a secondary core.

  That core I had installed in this kid body … became Daemon.Eida named him as daemon

  A mother-child unit formed through science, not biology. Yuta’s chakra was the catalyst, functioning like… well… a father, scientifically speaking.”

  Naruto rubbed the back of his head.

  Naruto:

  “So… my son technically had a kid.”

  Amado:

  “Scientifically, yes. Not romantically. Calm down.”

  Daemon floated straight to Hinata and buried himself in her arms.

  Daemon:

  “Grandmaaaa~ walk with me!”

  Hinata turned tomato-red.

  Naruto:

  “Whoa—she’s blushing just like when she first saw me as a kid!”

  Hinata (flustered):

  “S-STOP TEASING ME, HUBBY!”

  Naruto:

  “Ohhh I already love this kid.”

  Sarada blinked awake to Sakura gently shaking her shoulder.

  Sakura:

  “Sweetheart… Eida just had a cyborg baby.”

  Sarada shot up.

  Sarada:

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  “WHAT!?”

  Sumire leaned in, eyes wide.

  Sumire:

  “Who's the dad!?”

  Sakura hesitated.

  Sakura:

  “…Yuta.”

  Sarada froze. Her Sharingan almost activated from shock alone.

  Sakura and Sumire exchanged glances.

  Both (smirking):

  “One down.”

  Sarada:

  “One… what?”

  Sakura:

  “Eida will chase Yuta less now.”

  Sumire:

  “Only Aira left. Meaning… you have more chances.”

  Sarada exhaled slowly.

  Her confidence restored.

  Sarada:

  “…Then I’ll fight for him.”

  Higarashi stroked his long beard.

  Higarashi:

  “So… Shibai’s flesh product Eida had a child with Yuta?”

  Kimiko nodded.

  Kimiko:

  “Yes. And Daemon, if trained, could be perfect for good.”

  Higarashi:

  “Or perfect for evil.”

  Aira sat cross-legged, sipping tea with a deadpan expression.

  Aira:

  “I may not get Yuta. Sarada is a hawk guarding that heart.

  BUT…”

  She smirked.

  “I can definitely babysit his kid.”

  Kimiko hugged her from behind.

  Kimiko:

  “You like Yuta. Not because he’s Sylus reincarnated. Because he’s Yuta.”

  Aira:

  “…So I have a chance?”

  Toneri stepped in, arms folded.

  Toneri:

  “Fight, Queen.

  If you lose, at least you can say you never backed down.”

  Aira smiled, fire in her eyes.

  Aira:

  “Then I’ll fight.”

  Aira stirred a cup of extremely black coffee.

  Sarada sat across from her, arms folded.

  Aira:

  “So you heard.”

  Sarada:

  “Yeah.”

  Aira took a long sip.

  Aira:

  “I’m not backing down.”

  Sarada:

  “Neither am I.”

  They locked eyes.

  Both:

  “For Yuta.”

  They nodded like two generals sealing a war pact.

  Suddenly—

  BOOOOOOOM!

  The café’s roof EXPLODED as Daemon crashed through it like a meteor.

  Café Owner:

  “MY ROOOOOOOF!!! AGAIN!?”

  Daemon landed, striking a pose.

  Daemon:

  “I AM YUTA AND EIDA’S SON! NICE TO MEET YOU!”

  Sarada dropped her face into her hand.

  Sarada:

  “…What an introduction.”

  Aira pointed at the door.

  Aira:

  “Use the DOOR, kid.”

  Daemon blinked.

  Daemon:

  “There was a door!?”

  Sarada sighed and handed the owner a wad of money.

  Aira:

  “…We’re gonna be broke at this rate.”
