Sasuke's life had always been a tragedy.
His bond with Naruto was one of the few things in his life that could offer him comfort.
Even after returning to the village, he had, like Orochimaru, constantly been suspected and targeted.
Taking a deep breath, Sasuke approached the Uchiha Grounds.
Most members of Uchiha had now moved into the village, living alongside the other villagers.
Uchiha also longed for friendship. If they all lived within the clan grounds, it would be far too isolated.
Thus, not many people still lived in the clan grounds.
"..."
Sasuke's bearing and hairstyle did not seem out of place among Uchiha at all.
However, someone still noticed Sasuke as he approached the Uchiha Grounds.
"Is there something you need? Why aren't you going back to your ancestral home?"
Uchiha Hikari happened to be returning to the clan grounds from outside when she spotted Sasuke lingering nearby and observing the area.
She was rather puzzled. She had never seen this Uchiha before, so why was he not entering the clan grounds?
Over this period, she had gradually integrated into Uchiha. Though she was still deeply confused inside, Uchiha Hikari had realized that the current Uchiha was completely different from the Uchiha of the Warring States Era.
It seemed that time truly had changed many things.
When Uchiha Hikari saw the one-armed Sasuke Uchiha from the future, she naturally assumed he was an injured member of Uchiha.
Uchiha Hikari did not know Sasuke Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha naturally did not know Uchiha Hikari either.
Yet when he saw Uchiha Hikari's face, he abruptly felt that this girl looked remarkably similar to how he had looked as a child.
Could it be...
Was Sasuke Uchiha in this world a girl???
Sasuke's pupils shook as countless thoughts flashed through
