Visitors from the Future

"This kind of thing would damage the Fifth Generation's reputation. Do it in my name, Minato. Immediately send letters to the other Kage, saying that I have something important to discuss with them."

Sakumo made up his mind to make his own contribution to Konoha and Kazashiro.

At this moment, Kazashiro was above the palace in the Land of Rice, watching Kakuzu put his arm around the daimyo of the Land of Rice and exchange affection.

"After Kakuzu's friendly lesson, the daimyo of the Land of Rice will surely learn how to treat his people well, won't he?"

Kazashiro squatted on the roof, resting his chin on his hands, and asked Uchiha Hikari curiously.

"How would I know?"

Uchiha Hikari's answer was simple and clear.

"How boring."

Kazashiro rolled his eyes. Seeing that Kakuzu had already brought the situation under control, he decided to bid farewell to the Land of Rice.

After a period of training, he has basically mastered his current state and is able to mobilize the surrounding Natural Energy as accurately as possible.

He is currently attempting to combine Sage Mode and Tailed Beast Mode into one, achieving the state Naruto was in in the original manga.

Where to go next?

Seeing Kazashiro stand up, Uchiha Hikari asked him about his next destination.

"Let's Land of Fire first; I've heard things haven't been peaceful lately."

News of the war in the Land of Lightning has spread to the Land of Rice, and rumors have begun to circulate that Amegakure has been attacked.

A series of news reports made Kazashiro somewhat worried, fearing that the Dawn Organization might pull off some big news while he was away.

Konoha.

Despite the series of attacks, the village's cheerful atmosphere remained unchanged.

The ninjas in the Military Police Force can still manage to put on a smile while on patrol, and they can also respond well to the teasing of acquaintances.

Of course, this applies to the village members.

When they spot a stranger, they immediately mark the person and send professionals to investigate their identity in detail.

In this atmosphere, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared on the edge of Konoha.

"Tell me, where exactly is this place, Uncle Sasuke?"

Boruto rubbed his bottom, looking around at his surroundings with some curiosity.

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, had roughly understood the current situation through Li's explanation.

With the nearby Kage Rock in mind, Sasuke hesitated for a moment before telling Boruto the truth, "This should be Konoha from twenty years ago."

"Konoha twenty years ago?"

Upon hearing this, Boruto, forgetting all about rubbing his bottom, hurriedly looked into the distance.

"One, two, three, four, five... Sure enough, there are five heads on the mountain!"

"That's Kage Rock."

Sasuke grumbled at Boruto's comment, then his knees buckled, and he half-knelt on the ground, covering his eyes.

"What's wrong, Uncle Sasuke?"

Upon seeing this, Boruto immediately stepped forward to help the other person up.

"It's nothing, I just ran out of Chakra."

Sasuke waved his hand, signaling Boruto not to worry.

"It seems that Urashiki decided to strike while he's still young because he can't beat your idiot father." Sasuke guessed Urashiki Otsutsuki's purpose.

"Oh? Does that mean Dad is in a lot of danger?"

Boruto's tone did not show any impatience upon learning that his father was going to be in trouble.

"What should we do next, Uncle Sasuke?"

On the contrary, he was looking forward to the next move.

"It's nothing, let's go check out the village first. Konoha should be going through a rather tense period right now."

Sasuke shook his head, amused by Boruto's optimistic attitude, and stood up after putting the abalone away.

"Speaking of which, what if Urashiki seizes the Kurama at this point?"

Looking at Sasuke's tall figure, Boruto seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly asked him a question.

"Should we make a move now? He'll probably be in big trouble. Don't forget, right now, the Jinchuriki is your grandmother."

Recalling Kushina's exploits, Sasuke showed a look of pity.

Kushina was ridiculously strong during this period, and there were many powerful figures in the village who would not stand idly by while their Jinchuriki was attacked.

"Oh, then let's hurry up and protect my silly old man, okay?" Boruto smiled knowingly as he thought of his grandmother.

"Only if we can find your idiot father." Sasuke's tone wasn't as relaxed as Boruto's.

Because he didn't quite remember where he and Naruto were or what mission they were carrying out during that period.

It's hard to say whether it's in the village or not.

"Let's look around your neighborhood first. Also, I need to know today's exact date to pinpoint your father's location."

Sasuke shook his head, deciding to investigate the village first.

The two walked for a while.

With the help of a kind person, Sasuke finally learned the exact time here and obtained temporary identification.

At this time, Konoha was still in the process of absorbing people, and as long as it was not close to the inner core area, the management was relatively relaxed.

Boruto looked curiously at the huge chimneys billowing smoke around him. By the time he was old enough to understand, these factories had long since ceased operations and been demolished to become residential areas due to the large population.

All factories were relocated to sparsely populated areas far from villages to prevent pollution from affecting residents' daily lives.

After thanking the other party, Sasuke, who had completely figured out the timeline, brought Boruto bad news.

"I remember now, your idiot father is currently on a mission at the border, and he won't be back in the village for a few days."

Killing the Mizutora was his most outstanding achievement Genin, so Sasuke still remembered it.

"Wouldn't that be terrible?"

Upon hearing this, Boruto forgot all about looking at the chimney and began to worry that his father might actually kick the bucket.

"Let's find a hotel on the edge of the village first. That guy, Urashiki, fell into a time rift and shouldn't be here anytime soon."

Sasuke thought for a moment and decided to wait for Naruto to return in the village.

"Besides, your father has Jiraiya and Kakashi to protect him, and your Aunt Karin is with them too, so they have enough to protect themselves."

"Ah, that lecherous old man is here too."

Upon hearing Jiraiya's name, Boruto instantly thought of that frivolous old man.

"If it weren't for his back injury, Urashiki wouldn't have been able to find Ri so easily." Recalling the other party's terrible performance not long ago, Boruto couldn't help but want to complain.

Sasuke didn't speak, but turned his head to glance at the Kage Rock in the distance, then immediately looked away.

If I remember correctly, the Fifth Generation was not in the village at this time.

Well, once my Chakra recovers a bit, I should be able to completely take care of that Urashiki guy.

"Speaking of which, what kind of person was the Fifth Hokage?"

Boruto suddenly remembered something and asked Sasuke, who was standing next to him.

He had only heard about the other person's story from his history teacher. According to the teacher, he was the strongest Hokage history, a disciple of the Third Hokage, who taught the current Hokage, the Seventh Hokage Uchiha Itachi, and other outstanding figures.

He was also a close friend of the Sixth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, and Uchiha Obito Hokage Assistant.

"What kind of person..."

Boruto's question caused Sasuke to pause for a moment in his forward momentum.

"Very strong, the strongest ninja I've ever seen, not even inferior to the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju."

"Uncle Sasuke, you're talking like you've met Hashirama Senju." Boruto couldn't help but retort.

Sasuke did not offer an explanation.

He couldn't very well say, "Orochimaru, your grandma, uh, or grandpa?" He couldn't very well tell Boruto that Orochimaru, that shameless guy, had tricked the Fourth Hokage into conducting research on the Impure World Reincarnation despite the Fifth Generation's repeated orders against it, could he?

And ultimately, it was put into actual combat.

Whenever Sasuke thought about what Orochimaru had done, he wanted to burn that guy to death with Amaterasu.

The main problem is that this guy actually had an uncle who was younger than himself, and I heard that he was his own son, which is simply outrageous.

"Between him and Urashiki, who is stronger?"

Boruto was very curious about this question.

However, Sasuke saw this as a joke.

"Well, of course he's stronger. What's Urashiki compared to him? He can at most easily crush Toneri. Even your Uncle Mitsuki could beat him up."

Two days passed quickly.

During these two days, Boruto saw his mother and Sarada's mother.

Of course, he didn't go over to acknowledge them; he just watched from afar as they interacted with their teammates.

"Oh, so that's Asuma Sarutobi, Konohamaru- kun's uncle, and Shinsuke- sensei's younger brother."

Early in the morning, Boruto jumped out of bed and went to the hotel rooftop to observe the surrounding situation.

He saw Asuma leading Shikamaru and the others towards the edge of the village, and he also saw Konohamaru wandering around the village with Moegi and Udon.

It's unbelievable that the usually serious Konohamaru was such a troublemaker as a child.

And what's with this Sexy Jutsu? Where did he learn that trick?

Boruto covered his nose, trying to stop the blood from flowing out.

"Hey kid, where did you come from?"

Just as Boruto looked away, preparing to see if he could spot any other family members, a cold shout made the hairs on his body stand on end.

He turned around abruptly and saw a pale-skinned boy looking him over warily, with a somewhat familiar face standing next to him.

"I'm sorry, this child and I are master and disciple. We come from the Land of Rice and came to Konoha because of the war."

Just as Boruto was wondering how to explain his identity, Sasuke appeared in time to save him from the predicament.

Since Konoha had just absorbed some of the refugees from the Land of Rice, Sasuke's answer was reasonable.

"Yeah?"

The boy seemed somewhat distrustful of Sasuke's words, staring intently at him and refusing to look away.

"Alright, Sai, we'll investigate this matter. And you guys, things haven't been peaceful lately, so please don't come to high places without permission; we'll treat you as spies."

Yamato, standing behind Sai, also glanced at Sasuke, sensing a familiar aura emanating from him.

Therefore, he abandoned his plan to investigate further, and after warning the two of them, he took Sai and left the rooftop.
