"... You definitely did it on purpose just now, right?"

Boruto held up the sheet and wiped the chili sauce on his face while baring his teeth.

"What do you think? You will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist. My little friend, you'd better confess on your own. We are showing mercy because of your relationship with Naruto, otherwise you should be in Konoha Interrogation Department's little dark room now."

Jiraiya took back his smile and said to Boruto with a straight face.

"Yes, you killed teacher Asuma. Even if you are Naruto's son, if you don't give an explanation, I will immediately avenge Asuma."

Shikamaru also expressed his attitude, took out the lighter he picked up from Asuma's body, and burned a strand of Boruto's hair.

"Boruto, go ahead, but don't mention irrelevant things, and avoid revealing too much unnecessary information."

Sasuke patted Boruto on the shoulder.

He didn't know why Boruto did this, but he already had some guesses.

"... Where did I show my flaw?"

Boruto collapsed on the bed with a depressed expression.

"Still struggling with this? Okay, let me ask you a question, have you ever cheated?"

Jiraiya sat beside the bed and asked Boruto.

"Cheating, of course not... uh hehe, yes."

Boruto was just about to deny it, but then he thought about Chunin Ninja Exams being exposed for cheating in public. At that time, the whole village, people from other villages, including Sasuke next to him, all saw it, and they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Have you been discovered?"

"Yeah, but I wasn't discovered at first, but it was at the end..."

"Everyone found out from the beginning."

Sasuke interrupted Boruto.

Seeing Boruto looking at him in surprise, Sasuke turned his head and said, "At least the other four shadows have discovered it. I just want to give your father face."

"You have too many little expressions. If you were put in front of a torture expert like Ibiki, you wouldn't have to do anything. He would be able to tell at the first glance that there is something wrong with you."

"Okay, we have answered your questions, it's your turn to solve our problems."

Jiraiya crossed his arms and looked at Boruto.

"Okay, I confess."

Boruto breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was much different, the result seemed to be no different.

He finally didn't have to worry about it alone.

"Mr. Sasuke, Mr. Jiraiya, Uncle Shikamaru, actually it's like this..."

Boruto told him that his memory was gradually blurring, and Momoshiki told him that history must be corrected, otherwise his sister and friends would disappear.

After confessing, Boruto felt much more relaxed.

"I don't know what to do. Although Momoshiki killed the person, if I hadn't chosen to escape, Momoshiki wouldn't have been able to occupy my body when I was awake, so I do have a responsibility."

After Boruto finished speaking, he knelt down on the bed and waited for his words.

Jiraiya did not speak immediately, but looked at Sasuke first.

"I also have some feelings in this regard, but I'm not as affected as Boruto."

Sasuke gave the affirmative.

As Momoshiki said, on the one hand, Sasuke itself exists in this era and will only change due to future changes, but will not disappear.

On the other hand, Sasuke was lured away by Urashiki and Chakra was consumed, and a large amount of Dojutsu Power was consumed. Now the strength has been greatly weakened.

"I want to ask, are the things Boruto said about the future true? Don't worry, if we really need to correct history, you can finally use your Genjutsu to help us erase this memory."

Jiraiya asked Sasuke for confirmation.

"Yes, Third Hokage did die in Konoha Collapse Plan. He used Reaper Death Seal to seal Orochimaru's hands."

Sasuke said this and hesitated for a moment, "As for Asuma Sarutobi, I was not in the village at that time. I heard that he died at the hands of Akatsuki Organization's Hidan soon after, leaving behind a posthumous daughter..."

"Wait!"

Shikamaru was feeling sad at first, but at the end when he heard it, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"You said that Teacher Asuma left behind a posthumous daughter? But Asuma and Teacher Hong haven't confirmed their relationship yet!"

After Shikamaru said this, he stood up suddenly and looked at Boruto who was kneeling on the bed.

For this mission, Ino didn't come, and the three men in the team happened to have a conversation about some men-to-men topics.

Asuma mentioned this aspect to him when he was in the hot spring, and wanted Shikamaru, who had a good brain, to help him with some advice. Shikamaru smiled and refused, saying that this aspect had nothing to do with IQ.

So this Shikamaru is certain.

"What?! Did I kill him too early? Oh no, it was Momoshiki who killed him too early?!"

Boruto was also stunned, holding his head in his hands, "It's over, it's over, then wouldn't the future be gone?"

This next sentence is a pun.

"Don't worry, it's just a personal influence, it won't cause the entire future to disappear."

Jiraiya comforted him.

"No, I mean Sister Future, Mirai Sarutobi is gone~"

Boruto collapsed holding his head.

Did he agree to save his relatives and friends in the future?

Why did you personally strangle the future sister in the cradle... uh, strangle her in a magic pill?

"Well, it's such a future."

Jiraiya looked embarrassed. He didn't expect that the future Boruto mentioned was his personal name.

After Boruto wailed, Jiraiya looked at Sasuke who was silent and thought for a while, then spoke, "Sasuke Uchiha, please tell me what you want to say and let's solve it together. I believe you will no longer be alone in the future."

"Hmm."

Sasuke nodded, sighed slightly, and looked out the window melancholy, "According to what Boruto said and the information I have collected these days, this era has been rewritten too much by that person named Shirozumi.

If you want to correct it, the best way is to kill most of the people who should die in the future, and then use Genjutsu to modify the memory, so as to ensure that the future will not change as much as possible."

"Including me, right?"

Jiraiya looked serious.

"Well, according to the current situation, the person who should have killed you will not kill you now."

Sasuke nodded.

His concern about Jiraiya's life and death mainly comes from his deep understanding of Naruto's Bonds, Naruto and Jiraiya Bonds, so he will also care about it.

But there is one person who is the only person he cares about most in this era, besides Naruto.

Well, of course not Sakura.

But -Nissan.

According to the intelligence, I'm afraid Itachi won't die in his hands again.

Will the ferret die of illness?

But Itachi's ability and resourcefulness, even if he died a little late, were enough to change the situation of the war.

Moreover, Itachi can still break his Genjutsu, and even Itachi has Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

In Sasuke's heart, his Nissan is obviously very powerful and must be taken seriously.

But precisely because of this, did he have to kill Nissan with his own hands again?

Sasuke is full of struggle inside.

"Mr. Sasuke, Momoshiki said that when Urashiki arrives, we can cooperate with him first to get rid of the people who disrupt this time and space, and then correct the time and space.

He will criticize and educate Urashiki not to change Past, let them return to their original time and space, and then do whatever they want..."

Boruto pressed his head with one hand and repeated the words Momoshiki in his mind.

As soon as these words came out, Sasuke, who was still a little confused at first, was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became firm.

What kind of bright future was the original future, and was it worth protecting?

Why would he kill Nissan for such a future?

According to the analysis of the intelligence he collected, under the influence of Shirozumi, the future of this time and space feels more hopeful.
