The Future Had Already Changed Without Anyone Noticing
By the river, Sasuke saw his future self.
Judging from yesterday's exchange, he is very powerful, far stronger than Orochimaru and Itachi Uchiha.
Is that me in the future...?
"You've come!"
"I am coming!"
"It seems you already have the answer!"
"I still cannot forgive Konoha!"
"..."
Future Sasuke slowly turned around. He understood his thoughts when he was a child, and he knew that this was not the final answer.
Just like everyone's assessment of him in the past, Sasuke at this time was a blank sheet of paper, and outsiders could easily influence his judgment.
Sasuke continued, "This is what I think right now. I am an avenger... I will never forgive those who hurt the Uchiha or Itachi!"
Future Sasuke nodded slightly and said calmly, "As expected... it's similar to what I was thinking."
Sasuke said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what should I do?"
The Future Sasuke slowly spoke, "What should you do?"
"Hmph! What you should do is not something others should tell you; you should make your own judgment."
Even if I were you in the future, I would not have the right to interfere with your decisions.
"The purpose of my visit is to change Itachi's fate."
Sasuke remained silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Didn't you say that Itachi is already seriously ill?"
Future Sasuke nodded and said, "That's right! But it's not incurable."
"Whether it's Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage, or Hinata, who has mastered Yin-Yang Release, they can both heal Itachi's body... and even Naruto in the future can do it easily!"
Sasuke breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, then said coldly, "Although I don't agree with Itachi's actions, but..."
Future Sasuke said calmly, "But he had no other choice!"
The two fell silent at the same time, each lost in their own thoughts.
After a long while, the Future Sasuke spoke, "The only one who can change Itachi is you. One day, you will have a final battle with him..."
"There's one more thing... The future enemies of the Shinobi World are extremely powerful, far beyond the likes of Orochimaru and Obito Uchiha, so you must replace your eyes with Itachi's and make your eyes the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."
Sasuke coldly replied, "What about Itachi? If you wanted to change Itachi's fate, why did you take his eyes?"
Future Sasuke said calmly, "The ultimate Yin-Yang Release can create anything. Naruto and Hinata can both create eyes in the future. Even the Sharingan can be recreated by taking the power of the Otsutsuki clan."
"But if you can't take your eyes a step further, then you can't do anything."
After a pause, Future Sasuke continued, "That's all I have to say... Your future is something you have to create yourself, not something you can do by listening to others."
"Many people in the Shinobi World want to use your power. In my timeline, I was also used by others..."
Sasuke looked at his future self and asked in a deep voice, "From what you're saying, the future world seems quite interesting?"
Future Sasuke chuckled, "Interesting? I suppose so!"
Sasuke wondered, "Who is the enemy in the future? Did you come to this world with Hinata's daughter to hunt down the enemy? And... who is her daughter?"
In the Future Sasuke explained, "Hinata's daughter was conceived by her own power using Yin-Yang Release!"
"As for future enemies... wouldn't it be too boring to tell you everything now?"
"Grow up quickly! Otherwise, the gap between you and Hinata will only widen until you can never surpass her."
Sasuke remained silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Have you said everything you wanted to say?"
Future Sasuke chuckled softly, looking at his still-young self before him, Future Sasuke but think back to his younger self.
If someone had given me guidance back then, my future might have been very different.
That's all I wanted to say...
Future Sasuke, "I don't want to interfere too much with you. Itachi is my biggest regret, which is why I came to see you!"
"I must go and deal with my enemy. If I have enough time, and if I can seize his power... then I will come to see you again."
"Perhaps... you can do things that I can't!"
After saying that, the space in front of Future Sasuke slowly opened up, and he continued with his back to Sasuke, "Well then, farewell!"
Sasuke watched the space-time continuation slowly closing before him, his fists clenched, his face solemn, but a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
Sasuke has always lived a very tiring life.
Unlike Naruto, who could be indifferent to all injustices and embrace everything with a loving heart, he was not like Naruto.
Sasuke is very sensitive, but also very extreme.
Bearing the hatred and glory of the Uchiha clan, he has always had to forge ahead alone, unable to see hope or light, and unsure of where his future lies.
Having seen his future self, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, though he didn't say it.
Although I don't know the process, I know the ending.
However, Sasuke knew very well that the Sasuke who claimed to be from the future did not have the same experiences as him when he was young, otherwise he would not have had Itachi's regrets.
Perhaps the future of this space-time will undergo tremendous changes from this moment on.
It wasn't just Itachi's fate that was changed, but also his own.
Perhaps Hinata, Naruto, and the others' fates will also change...
Arriving at his usual training spot, Sasuke temporarily put these matters aside.
Regardless of what the future holds, all Sasuke can do at this moment is to train hard.
However, Hinata, far away in Konoha, did not think that way.
"Since my future self is already so strong, why should I work so hard!?"
Hinata lay on the ground sighing, "My daughter Himawari is not cute at all!"
Himawari grabbed Hinata's hand and shouted, "Mommy, get up quickly! Don't be lazy!"
"The reason why my future mother couldn't defeat all the enemies in an instant is because she didn't work hard in her training when she was young."
"If Mom practices diligently from a very young age, she will be able to easily defeat all her enemies in the future."
Finally, Himawari revealed her true thoughts. "If Mom defeats all the enemies, then I can follow behind Mom and be a good daughter, and I won't have to cultivate anymore!"
Hinata felt that Himawari's thoughts were very similar to her own.
Hinata also wanted Hyuga Hiashi to hold the fort for a few more years so that she could hide under Hyuga Hiashi's wing and slack off.
The lives of the first-generation rich are nowhere near as comfortable as those of the Second Hokage rich.
Hinata felt a pang of sadness thinking about Himawari, who had never had a father's love since childhood.
"Well!"
With a long sigh, Hinata bravely got up from the ground. "Fine, for the sake of my daughter, I can be a lazy bum from a young age. I'll train hard!"
