Uchiha Yuzhen held out his hand, but Sasuke didn't rush to take it.
Instead, he glanced at his disciple.
Lowering his eyes, he gave him an instruction:
"Boruto, now that we have the information about this world, I'll talk with Yuzhen-kun first... As for you, put Naruto back in bed."
"Understood, Master Sasuke!"
After giving his disciple instructions,
and putting his father back in bed,
—Smack!
Sasuke took Yuzhen's outstretched hand. "Working together? ...No problem. We'll definitely need to team up to deal with that troublesome fellow, Urashiki!"
After his Shadow Clone had followed the man before him,
and confirmed that the Sage of Six Paths really did have a mortal father in this world,
that was proof enough
that the man before him hadn't been lying to them since they first met.
Perhaps he hadn't explained everything.
But they were all ninja.
That was a trivial matter.
After all, it wasn't realistic to expect a competent ninja to tell a stranger everything about a situation.

Having a ninja of equal strength...or even stronger, on his side was the best possible outcome!

Then he stepped back and withdrew his hand.
Smiling brightly, he said:
"Then we're in agreement. What are you planning to do about Naruto?"
"After all, now that he knows who his parents are, that boy was just overwhelmed with emotion. Even though your Dōryoku knocked him out just now..."
"Once he wakes up, it won't take much thought to realize he won't be able to settle down."
At this,
Sasuke smiled
