Orochimaru In the southern base, Karin is sitting on a simple wooden box, flipping through a thick ancient book.
"Karin! Karin! Look! Look at Canopy Screen!!" Hozuki Suigetsu rushed in from the outside almost dancing, his silver hair swaying with the movement.
"Did you see that? I'm on it too! I'm Hozuki Suigetsu! I'm also on Canopy Screen! Haha!"
Karin didn't even raise his head, he just stretched out his index finger and pushed the iconic round glasses on the bridge of his nose with his knuckles. The red eyes behind the lenses were still staring at the page, and his tone was full of disgust and impatience. "See, it's just a background board, how excited are you!"
"Background?!" Suigetsu sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, raising his voice, "What do you know! This is Canopy Screen! The Canopy Screen who reveals the future!"
"Being able to go up and show my face proves that I, Hozuki Suigetsu, will also be a famous person in the future! Look at that insidious guy Kabuto Yakushi!"
"His current status in the base is extraordinary. In the future, he can actually become the legendary Spy? And he is mentioned by so many people!"
"Then I, Hozuki Suigetsu, will definitely be a legendary ninja in the future! Maybe I will be 'Water Release Grandmaster', 'Kirigakure The Last Hero' or something like that!"
Karin closed the thick book with a "snap" and let out a clear sneer.
"Heh. Hero? Suigetsu, use your brain full of water." She stood up and looked at Suigetsu with great momentum, "Didn't you notice? When those Kumogakure ninjas in the future mention Kabuto Yakushi, their expressions are not just respect, but more fear and fear."
"There is also Lord Orochimaru in the future. The attitude when seeing Kabuto Yakushi is obviously different from now. These attentions must be obtained by things that are unimaginable to ordinary people."
She took a step closer, and Suigetsu subconsciously took half a step back.
"Look at you again," Karin looked him up and down without mercy, "Aside from that fleeting figure in Canopy Screen, who else has ever said the name 'Hozuki Suigetsu'? Has anyone discussed your legend?"
"Which key event did you appear in? Did you save the world? Or invented some technique that changed Shinobi World?"
"That, that's because I didn't go out for a walk!" Suigetsu frowned and retorted, "I have been following Lord Orochimaru in this base! If I were like that guy Kisame Hoshigaki to carry out missions all over the world, my name would definitely be resounding to Shinobi World! Maybe even better than Kisame..."
"More powerful than Kisame?" Karin interrupted him, the sneer on his lips almost unbearable, "Only you? Suigetsu, please wake up."
"I suspect that most of the reason why you can live peacefully in the new era in the future is because Lord Orochimaru has a strong backing, and you are not too lucky, and you have escaped Fourth Shinobi World War's truly fatal meat grinder battlefield."
"Otherwise, with your noisy, aggressive, and easy-to-get carried away character, you would have died in some unknown mission, or become a Nameless achievement on some traitorous ninja hunting list."
"Do you think becoming famous is just playing house? Is it like performing a Water Release fountain show on stage?"
She turned around and picked up the book again, "Kabuto-senpai will have such great fame and status in the future, how do you think it will come about?"
"Under his feet, I'm afraid he is stepping on the remains of countless failed experiments, how many corpses of hostile ninjas, and how many darkness and choices we can't imagine."
"That's the result of countless sleepless nights and extreme research. Can you do it?"
Suigetsu was choked by her series of words, and his face turned blue and white. He opened his mouth to refute, but couldn't find any powerful words.
Karin reopened the book, "If you ask me, the one who can really stand at the top of Shinobi World in the future depends on Sasuke-kun, regardless of strength, character, experience..."
"Don't mention Sasuke!" Suigetsu seemed to have finally found a point to fight back, and immediately jumped up, "I will marry Konoha Haruno Sakura in the future! She also gave birth to a daughter! What is her name Sarada?"
"You're still here saying 'Sasuke-kun', 'Sasuke-kun' with a crazy look on your face! Save it, Karin! You're out of luck! Haha!" After he finished speaking, he deliberately made a face.
"Shut up!!!"
Karin raised her head suddenly, and the red eyes behind the lenses instantly burst out with astonishing anger and murderous intent. Her red hair seemed to move without any wind. The book in her hand creaked as she squeezed it.
The proud smile on Suigetsu's face froze instantly, and his entire human form began to melt.
"Uh... I, I'm going to see if there are any additional warning spells on the perimeter of the base!" Suigetsu finished speaking very quickly, not daring to look into Karin's eyes. In an instant, part of his body was hydrated, and he slid to the exit of the passage at a speed so fast that only an afterimage and a few splashing water drops were left.
Karin stood there, his chest heaving violently several times, blazing anger burning in his eyes, but in the end, the flame gradually extinguished.
She slowly loosened her grip on the book page, leaving clear fingerprints on it.
When she sat back on the wooden box, she could no longer read a word in the book.
He just hugged his knees and buried his face in them, letting the dim and uncertain light from the base cast his huddled shadow on the cold stone wall.
The next day, Canopy Screen was still playing on time.
[Naruto at home.]
["Brother! Get up! You're going to be late!" Himawari gently opened the door, stuck his little head in, and shouted softly.]
[At this moment, Boruto is on the bed with his eyes closed tightly, one hand stroking his forehead, the other stretched forward, making a summoning gesture, and slowly speaking in a deliberately low voice:]
["Hmph... The whispers of darkness have echoed at the edge of the dream, and the gears of fate have begun to turn. Who is calling for the light? Is it me who has inherited the bloodline of Child of Prophecy and is destined to tear apart this false peace?"]
[Himawari:"???"]
[Himawari turned around suddenly and ran to the living room, shouting as he ran: "Dad! Mom! Come on! Brother... Brother, he suddenly became so strange! It's like he was possessed by a strange villain!"]
["What's wrong? What's wrong?" Naruto Uzumaki rushed over without even wearing any clothes, and his face with blond stubble that had not been shaved was written all over with "What's wrong so early in the morning?"]
[Hinata also walked quickly wearing an apron, holding a glass of milk in his hand, with concern on his gentle face.]
[The two of them were crowded at the door of Boruto's room, and Boruto had already adjusted his posture.]
[He didn't know when he put on the pair of plastic Kamen Rider glasses, tilted his head slightly at 45 degrees, and bathed in the ray of morning light.]
[Boruto took a deep breath and continued chanting in that "enlightened" voice:]
["When the haze of despair swallows up the last candle of hope, when the thread of fate attempts to control the future of all living beings... there is no need to be afraid! Because," he pointed at his parents at the door, "I am the light of dawn, the sharp blade that cuts off cause and effect! In the name of Kamen Rider, declare! Evil thoughts, retreat!"]
