Seeing this,
Sasuke ruffled Boruto's hair.
After a moment's thought, he said,
"True. Then let's go check on Naruto first."
At that moment...
After hearing Uchiha Yuzhen's words, Sasuke understood.
He really couldn't rush things!
He needed to wait until his Shadow Clone sent back proof that this world truly was a parallel world.
Only then should he make a decision!
After all, what if this world...
Wasn't as the man before him claimed, but was actually the past of his own world?

But now, Sasuke felt that they'd reached a decent understanding.

"The timeline I come from..." Yuzhen began, answering Sasuke. "There's no harm in telling you. My world is about two or three years before Konoha Year 59."
There was no need to hide it. Sasuke hadn't asked before, so
