Unification! Sasuke, is that you?
Back in Konoha Uchiha Kō could still feel the earth shaking, and couldn't help but marvel, "Even Ōtsutsuki Clan possesses such power."
Sasuke Uchiha looked at Uchiha Kō. A branch family? He couldn't help but wonder, if a branch family possessed such power, how strong must the main family be?
Could it be that the Ninja World, after ten years of hard-won peace, is about to face turmoil again?
"And how much do you know about this?" Sasuke Uchiha (the young man) asked.
Uchiha Kō glanced at him, inexplicably furious. Why did he want to punch Sasuke Uchiha just by looking at his face and hearing his attitude?
Just then, Tsunade appeared at the village entrance and immediately threw herself into Uchiha Kō's arms. "Are you alright, husband? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Tsunade was a little nervous, and in front of Sasuke Uchiha (the young man), she began to examine Uchiha Kō.
Uchiha Kō gave a wry smile. Indeed, this was the most aggressive he had fought in the last ten years, using all his trump cards except for Annihilation.
This is only a branch family member at the Six Paths level. What will I do if Ōtsutsuki Isshiki come?
Are we really going to rescue Otsutsuki Kaguya? That wouldn't be a good idea! Although she's very strong, nobody knows what her attitude towards the Ninja World is. What if she goes berserk and uses Infinite Tsukuyomi? That would be the end of us!
Sasuke Uchiha (young man) was stunned. Had he heard correctly? The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, called Uchiha Kō" husband"? What on earth was going on?
Sasuke Uchiha (young) comes from the original timeline, and therefore is unaware of the events of this timeline.
Uchiha Kō noticed his surprise, so he reassured Tsunade and then looked at Sasuke Uchiha. "I know you have many questions. How about this, we can talk in the Hokage Building later, and I'll have someone take you to the Uchiha Clan Compound tonight."
After saying that, Uchiha Kō coaxed Tsunade back home, and then went to the Hokage Building with Sasuke Uchiha (young man). Inside the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato and Boruto Uzumaki were already seated.
Boruto Uzumaki remembered his master's teachings: he should not reveal his identity casually, lest he cause irreversible damage to the past.
Although he saw his grandfather, who introduced himself, Boruto Uzumaki didn't reveal his identity. Instead, he said he was a merchant who accompanied his master to transport goods. During this time, he encountered thugs, which led to his current state.
Namikaze Minato and Nara Rokumei immediately saw through the child's lie. After all, experience counts, and Boruto was still too young. Therefore, Namikaze Minato and Nara Rokumei exchanged a glance.
Nara Rokumei changed the subject, "Then where did you get that Forehead Protector on your head? It's engraved with the mark of Konoha." He narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
Boruto Uzumaki was stumped by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment. Looking at the guy's attire, he knew that this was Nara Shikamaru's uncle's elder.
He had already lied once, and if he lied again now, wouldn't he be able to cover it up and might be seen as a traitor by the people of Konoha?
Just then, a voice came from outside. "Alright, everyone get out. Minato, Sakumo, and Lu Ming, stay here." Everyone immediately had an idea.
Nara Rokumei stood up, gave Boruto Uzumaki a deep look, and then went to greet Uchiha Kō. The others did the same.
"Lord Hokage!" the crowd greeted, bowing respectfully.
Uchiha Kō waved his hand to indicate that everything was alright, and everyone took their seats.
"First, let me introduce two people to you. One is Sasuke Uchiha comes from another timeline, about twenty or thirty years from now. The great war that just happened was fought between their future enemies, and also the future enemies of our world— the Ōtsutsuki Clan," Uchiha Kō said calmly.
Everyone was stunned by the mention of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. They'd never heard of this clan before; were they supposed to be very powerful ninjas?
Uchiha Kō looked at the crowd, knowing their doubts, and didn't keep them in suspense, "It is said that the Sage of Six Paths was named Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and his mother was the Progenitor of Chakra in the Ninja World, named Otsutsuki Kaguya."
"Otsutsuki Kaguya came from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but she later betrayed them. She thought our human forms Ninja World more attractive than Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, so she betrayed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and killed him." Uchiha Kō told him everything he knew.
Some of their claims even left young Sasuke Uchiha in awe, Boruto Uzumaki arrogantly declared that even dogs wouldn't talk about love!
Nara Rokumei spoke first, "If that's the case, then the Ōtsutsuki Clan's goal is to collect the Tailed Beast Chakra, rebuild the God Tree, and incidentally destroy us so that the chakra can return to the God Tree Fruit?"
Uchiha Kō nodded. As expected, it was Nara Rokumei, the strategist, who was in charge of summarizing.
"The Lord Hokage just said that we live in an independent spacetime, and their spacetime can't affect us. But there are still Otsutsuki lurking in our world. So how do we defeat them?" Nara Rokumei Otsutsuki.
"Unite all forces that can be united, and figure out when they will arrive and what their abilities are! But the hardest thing right now is to unite them. Most of the Ninja World these days are all smiles on the surface but not on the inside. Getting everyone to work together is just too difficult!" Uchiha Kō sighed.
"This is the inevitability of history. Where there are people, there is conflict; where there are people, there is struggle; and where there is struggle, there will be a fight to the death." Nara Rokumei laughed. "These words were spoken by the Lord Hokage, and now they make more and more sense."
Sasuke Uchiha (young) also looked at Uchiha Kō, wanting to know what he would do: do nothing and wait for things to develop naturally, or take the initiative to explain the situation to various countries?
However, Uchiha Kō gave a suggestion that he hadn't considered, or rather, because he had spent too much time with Naruto and was used to thinking about problems through Naruto's lens, thus burying his own ideas.
"Lu Ming has taken the initiative. This time, Konoha declares war on the four villages! In this battle, they will either surrender or die fighting."
"I, Uchiha Owl, along with the former First Hokage Hashirama Senju, the former Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha, and the Asura of the Shinobi World, Madara Uchiha, will lead the charge! I will be in charge at the center."
"This war is preparation for twenty years from now. We don't have much time left. As for the opinions of various countries, let's put them aside for now!" Uchiha Kō said solemnly.
Nara Rokumei gasped, looking at Uchiha Kō. "Unification! Uchiha Kō wants to unify the Ninja World and merge the five great hidden villages."
He intends to control Genin! As a witness and participant in this history, Nara Rokumei is honored!
"I support it!" Nara Rokumei raised his hand, followed by Hatake Sakumo. The three brothers had been through thick and thin together for so many years, sharing both good times and bad.
With power, status, a strong ninja force, and ample supplies, now is the perfect time to wage war!
"If that's the case, how should we explain this to those below?" Hatake Sakumo hesitated, after all, everyone had been living in peace for so long.
Nara Rokumei and Uchiha Kō exchanged a glance, then said in unison with a laugh, "Unify!"
Sasuke Uchiha (young) thought for a moment, wanting to say something, but realized he had no position to hold.
Boruto Uzumaki found it very exciting. He was different from his father, who was a pure idealist, while he was not.
Uchiha Kō glanced at the two of them. "I'll hand the plow over to you later. After you've seen your relatives, you can leave. After all, your timeline is waiting for you to save it."
"However, please keep what happened here a secret once you get back." After saying that, Uchiha Kō smiled and had the Anbu escort the two of them out, while he went to discuss the details of the war.
Although the two of them wouldn't betray Konoha, Uchiha Kō wasn't sure if they would suffer greatly from the poison and become obstacles to his unification efforts.
So it's better to let them leave sooner rather than later!
Sasuke Uchiha (young man) nodded and pulled his disciple Boruto Uzumaki toward the Uchiha Clan.
Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the clan's territory. Looking at the current layout, he couldn't help but shed tears, as it was exactly the same as he remembered.
People say that one feels timid when nearing home, and now Sasuke Uchiha stood at the door, just one step away from seeing his family, but at that moment he found that he couldn't move his body at all!
"Master, what's wrong? Why aren't you moving? This must be the Uchiha Clan from back then! How magnificent! I never imagined that the number one clan in Konoha back then was really true!" Boruto Uzumaki exclaimed.
"Okay, Boruto, I said, let's go." Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth, hesitant to go in. He was afraid that if he went in, he wouldn't want to go back.
But he knew that this world did not belong to him. At this moment, a feeling of resentment arose: why was there no Uchiha Kō in their timeline!
Why! Why did my brother have to endure darkness and suffering? He slaughtered the entire clan, leaving only me, the sole survivor of the Uchiha bloodline, in this world!
Dad! Mom! Sasuke misses you so much.
Just then, as if by a mother's own instinct, Uchiha Mikoto suddenly felt a pang of panic. She went outside and saw Sasuke Uchiha (young man).
She suddenly felt a pang of sadness. Looking at the figure, her lips parted slightly, "Is... is it Sasuke?"
Sasuke Uchiha (young man) was startled. He looked up and saw the face that kept appearing in his midnight dreams. He trembled and cried out, "Mom!" before kneeling down.
For some reason, Uchiha Mikoto recognized Sasuke at a glance, and her heart broke instantly. "You, your left hand..."
Uchiha Mikoto broke down in tears. Her son hadn't even started school yet, so how could he have grown up so fast! And what had he been through? Why was he missing an arm!
Hearing his wife's cries, Uchiha Fugaku followed the sound and walked over, only to see his wife sobbing uncontrollably in front of a man.
He frowned at first, then felt the closeness of blood ties, activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and the next moment, he understood everything, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Welcome home, Sasuke." Uchiha Fugaku looked at Sasuke Uchiha and stepped forward to embrace the mother and son.
Sasuke could no longer hold back his tears and cried out, "Dad! Mom!" At this moment, he was no longer Six Paths level powerhouse, no longer a ninja walking in the darkness to atone for his sins.
Instead, it is Sasuke who has the love of his parents, Sasuke Uchiha who has a family.
