After staying on Hokage Rock for a while, Soji left.
After all, Anbu patrols occasionally passed through Hokage Rock, a place that symbolized Konoha.
In the original story, nearly everyone who dared cause trouble on Hokage Rock had some sort of backing in the village.
If this had been his original time, Soji could have stayed on Hokage Rock for as long as he wanted, but that definitely would not work in this time!
Once the Anbu discovered Soji's presence, they would certainly come up to question him.
Then Soji would have no way to explain himself.
After leaving Hokage Rock, Soji continued wandering aimlessly through Konoha's streets.
Since he had separated from Toneri, Soji was no longer particularly conspicuous.
The main reason was that the Five Great Shinobi Villages' Joint Chunin Exams were being held recently, and Konoha had been flooded with people in all sorts of bizarre outfits.
Someone like Soji, who merely wore an eyepatch, was practically normal by comparison!
Not long ago, Soji had even seen a kid dressed entirely in Iron Sand!
Besides, because he had changed his appearance, the clothes Soji wore now were also quite fashionable for this era.
Their designs were novel and had a distinctly modern look.
However, as Soji wandered around, he suddenly encountered someone—a one-armed hero!
Yang Guo?
No, that could only be Sasuke from this time!
Sasuke, who was married and already had a teenage daughter, had completely shed the immaturity on his face compared to the Sasuke from Soji's time.
In fact, there was not a trace left of the arrogance he had once possessed.
It could be said that the current Sasuke was at the most morally upright point of his life, without question!
At that moment, Soji and Sasuke were walking directly toward each other.
