Sasuke and Boruto rushed out of the ruins and were shocked to see the battle scene in front of them.
"There was obviously a fierce battle here. Could it be Ōtsutsuki?"
"Sasuke Teacher, look, there are black woods there!"
Boruto walked over and touched the leaf carefully, but what surprised him was that with just this slight touch, his finger was almost pierced by the leaf.
"What, what is going on? I have never seen such a tree before!" Boruto was shocked, covering his fingers and retreating hastily.
If he had just rushed into this black forest and bumped into a leaf...
Boruto is feeling cold all over.
Sasuke observed it with Sharingan for a long time. "I have never seen anything like this. Judging from the traces on the ground, these trees drilled out of the surface in a very short time... Maybe they are Wood Release."
But, how come there is such Wood Release? It was so sinister that it looked like a beast that was devouring people.
Any leaf is sharper than the finest Kunai Shuriken!
Who has the power to create such trees? Could it be...Urashiki Otsutsuki?
In the woods, you can still vaguely see the fragments of the puppet. Could it be that the ninjas of Sunagakure are fighting with Urashiki?
With Sunagakure's strength, how could he create such a large area of destruction?
"Urashiki's ability is actually that of Wood Release. No wonder he dares to act alone without Momoshiki and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki. This ability is a powerful weapon against Tailed Beasts. He must be stopped as soon as possible." Sasuke thought quickly.
Suddenly, he protected Boruto and retreated with Boruto.
"The air here is not right either. It seems to be filled with a strange toxin that can damage human cells."
Sasuke looked at another place, which was the ground that was melted by high temperature and then solidified.
The building ruins they saw when they came out of the time tunnel also had this kind of mark, as if they had been attacked by some terrible magic... Is it Lava Release?
Four-Tails also participated in the war?
"Boruto, let's return to the village immediately!"
"Okay!"
Sasuke gave a low drink, opened a space tunnel with Rinnegan, and transferred himself and Boruto.
The vision changed, and when the two walked out again, they had returned to Konoha.
"Hey, where is this? Is there a place like this in the village? It seems that the style of these buildings is a little different." Boruto said softly.
Sasuke frowned slightly and was confused. When he raised his head and looked into the distance, he was shocked.
"Teacher, there is no statue of my father on Hokage Rock! There are not even statues of the fifth and sixth generations!" Boruto exclaimed.
It couldn't be Urashiki Otsutsuki. Could it be that he attacked the village and wiped out the three statues??
Sasuke stared at Hokage Rock and took a deep breath. "I know where this is... This is the Konoha of the past! Boruto, we followed Urashiki and actually went back to the past."
Boruto was shocked, traveling through time? His mind was in a mess, and he never thought he would encounter such a weird thing.
"Then what era is it now? What should we do?" Boruto looked confused.
I close my eyes and open them again, returning to the past Konoha, what should I do?
Sasuke thought for a while, "You have studied history class in school, right? Since there are four statues on Hokage Rock, it means that Fifth Hokage has not taken over yet."
Boruto nodded. "I know, Fourth Hokage is my grandfather. He died fighting to protect the village just two years after taking office. Third Hokage, who had retired, stood up again and ruled for 12 years until he died in the battle. So is now the time for Third Hokage to be in power?"
"That's right, Orochimaru hasn't attacked Konoha yet...Urashiki Otsutsuki must be coming for Nine-Tails in Naruto's body. Our mission is to protect Naruto."
Sasuke spoke slowly.
How old will Naruto be at this time? Still studying in the Ninja Academy? Or, have you graduated and become Genin? Have you participated in Chunin Ninja Exams?
For a moment, Sasuke felt a little confused in his heart.
Traveling through time is really too complicated.
The two began to tentatively walk on the streets to collect information.
The Konoha at this time was indeed very different, even different from the one Sasuke had in mind.
But Sasuke didn't think too much, but thought very carefully - how long did Urashiki come earlier than the two of them?
Judging from the traces of the battle just now, it was only a few hours at most, and there was still time to save everything.
Sasuke was dressed in a black robe, with a thick head curtain covering his Tomoe Rinnegan, and he only used his other eye to observe.
Boruto is very interested and finds everything novel.
"Wow, there are so many people. How come it feels like there are more people than there were back then? Is it possible that this era will be more prosperous than it was back then?"
"Hey, there are so many shops and so many delicious food, but it's a pity that there are no ninja cards to buy..."
Boruto was walking through the crowd, extremely excited.
Sasuke walked on the street like an ordinary villager, passing by countless pedestrians.
Many people cast curious glances at him, but Sasuke did not look back to avoid triggering more chain reactions.
Sasuke is listening to people's conversations.
"Hey, I heard that Team Naruto Sasuke has returned to the village."
"So fast? But to be honest, their entire team is either a genius or a strong one. Kage Level's Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata who are comparable to and surpassed jounin at the age of 12, no matter what their achievements are, it should not be surprising."
"Well, it is said that they broke Genin's mission record, crushing the other Genin teams in terms of time and quantity."
"Speaking of which, I couldn't see the decisive battle between Naruto and Sasuke on Graduation Exam. It's really a pity, but just looking at it from a distance is enough to shock people."
"Yes, one is the son of the fourth generation and has Nine-Tails in his body, and the other is the disciple of a top Shinobi World master like Lord Genitsu. He has Three-Tomoe Sharingan and can summon Godzilla. The battle between these two people must be very exciting."
Passers-by talked loudly, attracting more passers-by to participate in the discussion, and even had arguments with each other. It was nothing more than a quarrel about who was better, Sasuke or Naruto.
But for this kind of topic, the amount of information is a bit large, and Sasuke can't understand it at all.
Sasuke:???
Good guy, could it be that now is the time when he defected to Orochimaru and defected to Konoha? When Valley of the End almost killed Naruto?
Because it was during this period that he possessed Sharingan of Three-Tomoe Sharingan in a fierce battle with Naruto.
But it sounds very wrong. From the analysis of the chat content, it seems that he has just graduated.
Moreover, Naruto is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. This should be confidential information in the village. It stands to reason that only ninjas who are at least jounin and have experienced Nine-Tails' Rampage barely know it.
Why do you feel like everyone knows it now?
Even the ordinary villagers didn't know about it, but they openly talked about it on the street without any scruples?
What kind of psychic beast is Godzilla?? I've never heard of it at all. Judging from the admiration of these villagers, it seems that they are very strong?
"When I was a teenager, I signed Summoning Contract for Godzilla?" Sasuke had question marks on his face.
Moreover, he was obviously in a team with Sakura, how did he become Hinata?
Can the three of them rival and surpass Jonin? Isn't that an elite jounin?
"And Kakashi, these people use the title 'Kage Level' to describe Kakashi's strength... How is this possible?" Sasuke frowned.
Kakashi, even when Sasuke was 16 years old, could only barely control Mangekyō Sharingan before possessing the power of shadow.
But at this time, Kakashi definitely didn't show off the shadow's ability, let alone let the villagers know.
What's more...
"I remember that the level 'Kage Level' was never recognized by the village and was never listed as an official ninja level."
The first time the word "Kage Level" was heard by many ninjas was on the Fourth Great Ninja War battlefield.
When the four Hokages of Impure World Reincarnation teamed up to use Four Red Yang Formation to block Ten-Tails, Fourth Hokage introduced the conditions for the activation of Four Red Yang Formation, saying that "it takes four strong Kage Levels to join forces to activate it."
But even so, even in the era when he traveled through time, the classification of Kage Level was not recognized by people.
"There must be something wrong with this era."
Sasuke hesitated again and again, but still stopped a passerby. "Did you just say that Sasuke Naruto's Graduation Exam is very exciting?"
"Yes, in order to prevent the fierce battle between the two of them from harming the village, the strong men of the village even used Four Red Yang Formation. How can it not be exciting? Tsk tsk, even if they are far apart, you can feel the terrible shock wave. Even Konoha Forest has been bulldozed to a large area. It is really scary."
"How are you sure that is Four Red Yang Formation?"
"Are you sure about this? It has already spread throughout the village after the exam. The red barrier rising into the sky cannot fool anyone."
"That's it. I also want to see the scene of their battle..."
Sasuke Everyone is feeling bad.
He didn't lie, he really wanted to see how he would fight against Naruto.
Even Four Red Yang Formation is used, is this ridiculous?
Four Red Yang Formation can even block Super Tailed Beast Ball from Ten-Tails, so why is it being used now to block the aftermath of the battle between him and Naruto!!
Sasuke is in his thirties, one of the saviors of Shinobi World, and has never been blocked by Four Red Yang Formation!
And... this was just Graduation Exam, probably when he and Naruto graduated from sixth grade?!
"How could I be so strong when I was young?" Sasuke murmured softly in a voice that only he could hear.
This strong man who had defeated Ōtsutsuki and sealed Kaguya was now doubting his life.
"I remember that the strongest person in the village is Third Hokage. Is it the Four Red Yang Formation used by his old man?" Sasuke continued to ask.
The villagers looked at him suspiciously, their eyes clearly looking at a spy. "Third Hokage? He has been retired for more than ten years, and although the third generation master is also a strong Kage Level, his strength is probably not ranked among the village, and he cannot even enter the top ten."
"??"
Although I don't major in history, don't try to lie to me!
Third Hokage's strength is not among the top ten in the village? Doesn't that mean that there are at least two-digit Kage Level experts in the village?
What a joke!
Sasuke counted and counted. No matter how you calculate the number of strong Kage Level at this time, there should be only one person from three generations. Even if you add Jiraiya and Tsunade who are far away from the village, there are only three people.
"I understand, thank you very much." Sasuke was silent for a while, then looked away and used illusion to erase the villager's memory.
The villager stood there in confusion, feeling a little empty in his mind. He had lost the memory of the past few minutes, and naturally he forgot about reporting the spy to the village.
Sasuke was walking on the street with his mind in a mess, and everything he looked at felt wrong.
Especially the posters posted on the roadside walls, there are too many contents that are Ninja Academy's Graduation Exam propaganda.
It's just Graduation Exam. When did it become so popular?
At this time, Boruto also discovered something. After wandering around for a while, he returned to Sasuke: "Teacher..."
The two came to a small alley in tacit understanding.
"Well, you also noticed something was wrong, right?"
"That's right, what dad boasted about me turned out to be true!" Boruto said in shock.
"...?"
"He said that when he was a child, he was better than you, teacher, and was number one in the class. It turned out to be true. Although Graduation Exam lost to you once... He also said that he was very popular with girls, and it turned out to be true! Many girls admired daddy!" Boruto exclaimed, feeling more in awe of his father.
It turns out that my father is an honest man, and all his boasts are true.
It was me, the son, who was too young and ignorant, so I investigated on my own and came up with wrong information, and used this wrong information to refute my father.
What a shame.
Now it seems that my father was probably very disappointed and didn't even refute it.
Boruto sighed repeatedly.
"Boruto, please wait, things are not like this, I remember that I am obviously..."
"Okay, teacher, I understand that adults' self-esteem is sometimes much stronger than that of children. It's embarrassing for me to see the truth. I won't blame you." Boruto took the initiative to comfort you.
Zhinima, is this what a person can say?
Sasuke took a deep breath and felt that something was wrong with the world. "You talked to those villagers and this is all you found?"
"Otherwise? Since this is the village of the past, you must know better."
"No, I don't understand..."
"You didn't grow up in a village, how could you not understand?"
"Just now, I thought I knew it better than anyone else, but now I realize that I don't understand it at all."
"?"
Sasuke and Boruto looked at each other, both seeing the deep confusion on the other's face.
"No matter what, stopping Urashiki is our main goal. We must not let him hurt Naruto at this time... right?"
Sasuke lacks confidence. If Konoha really has a double-digit Kage Level master at this time, he can use Four Red Yang Formation at will...
If Urashiki wants to capture Naruto in this lineup, it will take a lot of effort.
Think about it, a bunch of Kage Level strong men are throwing away a bunch of high-level Forbidden Technique, Four Red Yang Formation, Dead Demon Consuming Seal and the like are all greeting Urashiki...
Boruto is full of enthusiasm. "Protect your young father? Let's start quickly. I just want to see what my father is like at this time and learn from him how to become excellent."
"Stop, we can't have contact with the current Naruto. We can only protect him secretly, otherwise history will be easily changed." Sasuke said.
Boruto looked disappointed. "We can only protect it secretly... Okay, then let's act secretly."
After saying that, Boruto left the alley.
"Hey, make a plan first and then act." Sasuke said.
"No matter how you make a plan, you must at least find dad's location first, right?" Boruto said while turning around, walking to the corner and turning around.
Bang!
As if hitting a big mountain, a huge force came and Boruto was knocked away.
"... It's over." Sasuke covered his face.
"It hurts so much. Who is it? Do you know who I am? The one who walks without looking at people?" Boruto got up from the ground angrily and wanted to settle the score with the other party.
He is the crown prince of Konoha, his father is the seventh generation Hokage, his grandfather is Fourth Hokage, his teacher is Sasuke Uchiha, and his leading jounin is Konohamaru, the grandson of Third Hokage. He has been walking sideways in Konoha since he was a child, how could he possibly be able to endure his little temper.
But just looking at it like this, Boruto didn't have time to do anything.
One hand reached out first and grabbed Boruto's collar at an unavoidable speed.
"Hey, boy, you bumped into me and you are still so arrogant. Are you impatient for life? Do you want to die?"
Naruto grabbed Boruto with a cold expression, a chill spreading on his face.
