"Long time no see, Naruto," Sasuke said.
"What do you mean, long time no see? This is clearly our first time meeting." Naruto looked at the middle-aged Sasuke and said.
Ignoring the missing arm, so this was what Sasuke looked like after reaching middle age. He looked pretty scruffy. Naruto imagined what Sasuke from his own world would look like in the future. Would he be like the Sasuke before him?
Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted as he noticed the differences. The Naruto before him was somewhat unlike the Naruto he knew. He looked younger, taller and more upright, and his long golden hair gave him an otherworldly air. Even his temperament was completely different from the Naruto Sasuke knew.
More importantly, he had been entangled with Naruto for a lifetime. Sasuke could sense every one of Naruto's movements.
"You're not Naruto. Who are you?" Sasuke instantly became wary.
"Don't be nervous." Sensing Sasuke's muscles tense up and his gaze lose its gentleness, Naruto waved a hand to ease his tension before continuing, "Sasuke, I am Naruto Uzumaki, but not the Naruto Uzumaki of this world. I'm Naruto Uzumaki from another space-time."
"Naruto Uzumaki from another space-time?" Sasuke immediately believed Naruto's words. After all, the Sage of Six Paths and the Otsutsuki Clan were both from other worlds. It was hardly strange for this Naruto to come from another world as well.
Seeing Sasuke's expression soften, Naruto continued, "I'm staying at this world's Naruto's house right now. Aren't you and the me of this world good friends? Why don't I ever see you visiting his house?"
"Actually, I only came back a few days ago. I've been away the rest of the time," Sasuke explained.
Naruto nodded. "I see. I heard 'Naruto' tell me some things about you.
