(The plot logic of the side story might not be very well written, but it's not part of the main storyline, so this is all we can do.)
One large and three small figures followed Uchiha Takashi to a private room, where several Uchiha clansmen stood at the door.
Uchiha Takashi entered and sat down in a chair, then pointed to other areas. "Please, guests who have come from afar, have a seat. However, there's one person who doesn't seem like a guest."
Uchiha Takashi Sasuke Uchiha a meaningful look, but Sasuke Uchiha simply found a chair and sat down without saying a word.
Kakashi Hatake coughed twice, then said, "So where exactly is this place? Why is this completely different from where I remember it?"
Uchiha Takashi raised an eyebrow. "Hey, hey, hey, you bunch of people from the future asking me, a local, where I am? Isn't that a bit too absurd?"
This is the Land of Light, a nation founded by our Uchiha Clan. Of course, if we hadn't established an independent country, this would be the Land of Fire.
As soon as he finished speaking, several Uchiha clansmen entered carrying teacups and placed them in front of the group.
"Please enjoy your tea, some rough tea," Uchiha Takashi gestured for them to eat, then crossed his legs and said, "So, where did you come from?"
The room fell silent as all four people present engaged in a brainstorming session.
Kakashi Hatake: Holy crap! What do you mean the Uchiha has established an independent country? And what do you mean this place used to be the Land of Fire, but is now the Land of Light?
Sasuke Uchiha: Wait a minute, my history knowledge is pretty good, right? How come this doesn't relate to my history at all? I remember the Uchiha never established an independent country. Where is this Uchiha from?
Naruto Uzumaki: Oh, that's amazing! It sounds so cool, but I don't understand.
Sakura Haruno: What world is this? Did we travel to the wrong world?
Kakashi Hatake glanced at the tea in his cup, then said, "We... shouldn't be from the same world."
Uchiha Takashi nodded slightly, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "Did I say we were from the same world? The power of the Dragon Vein is too complex; it can bring the past into the future and the future into the past, and it's possible that it can even draw people from different worlds here."
Perhaps our worlds are the same, but our paths have diverged. In short, there are many possibilities... So what do you plan to do now?
Kakashi Hatake nodded. "It seems so. Since we're from another world, and since it's the Dragon Vein that brought us here, perhaps we can use the power of the Dragon Vein to take us back."
Uchiha Takashi: "That makes sense, but the reality is you can't do it."
Kakashi Hatake frowned. "Why? Shouldn't the location of Dragon Vein always remain the same?"
Uchiha Takashi rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's put aside whether the Dragon Vein changes or not. The problem is that you are currently within the territory of the Land of Light. Do you know how far the Dragon Vein is from here?"
You will have to pass through the Senju Clan, then through Land of Harmony, and then through other countries—all sorts of countries. How many clans are there in between?
Do you really think every clan is as easy to talk to as the Uchiha? I think the most likely scenario is that, just like in the beginning, they'll choose to attack you directly.
Kakashi Hatake fell silent for a moment. Seeing his expression, Uchiha Takashi picked up a cup of tea from the table and slowly began to drink it.
Silence fell again, but it didn't last long before Sasuke Uchiha broke the silence.
Sasuke Uchiha suddenly raised his head and looked at Uchiha Takashi, asking, "Are you the Uchiha Clan Head in this world? Why...? Judging from your language, you clearly know my identity, and you also know I am from the Uchiha Clan."
But why have you never shown any curiosity about our world? Are you simply never curious about what's happening in our world?
Even if you and we are not from the same world, our worlds are so similar. Aren't you even a little curious that the Uchiha Clan in our world isn't curious about the Uzumaki Clan or the Senju Clan?
" Sasuke, what are you doing?" Kakashi Hatake looked at Sasuke Uchiha with a tense expression, while Naruto Uzumaki, standing beside him, also looked at Sasuke with some surprise.
Uchiha Takashi looked calmly at Sasuke Uchiha: "Why are you curious? What does your world have to do with us?"
I already said we're not from the same world, right? Of course, we're not from the same world at all. No matter what happens in our worldline, it won't affect your world, and your world isn't the ending of our world.
"If that's the case, why should I be curious about two worlds that don't interfere with each other? Wouldn't that be a waste of my time?"
Sasuke Uchiha on the spot, all the words he wanted to say swallowed back down by Uchiha Takashi.
He had originally planned to recount everything about the Uchiha Clan and Konoha in his world, but Uchiha Takashi's nonchalant attitude made it impossible for him to utter a single word.
Uchiha Takashi, of course, wouldn't let Sasuke Uchiha say everything. Damn it, if his own Uchiha clan heard it, in their world, the Uchiha clan would be wiped out—they'd explode on the spot!
Uchiha Takashi could even imagine the extreme reactions the Uchiha Clan members would take upon learning this news; they would definitely react with fury.
What will happen when the Uchiha Clan become emotionally agitated? Uchiha Takashi himself couldn't say for sure, but for the country, it would definitely not be a good thing.
Therefore, Uchiha Takashi would not allow, and absolutely would not allow Sasuke Uchiha and his ilk to spread the specific details of the Uchiha Clan.
This is why he chose to have the conversation in a completely empty room; only then would the content of the conversation be known only to him, and no one else would know.
Unfortunately, Sasuke Uchiha's voice was a bit loud, and the Uchiha clansmen who had just served tea were standing at the door, not having gone far yet. What if they heard them?
However, it's impossible to say that Uchiha Ten had no sympathy or was unmoved by the plight of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.
As the head of the Uchiha Clan, all Uchiha from different regions were his clansmen. How could he not be even slightly affected by the extermination of his entire clan?
But even if Uchiha Takashi knew, what could he do? Was he supposed to cross the Konoha Dragon Vein to conquer Konoha?
Are you kidding me? That world has a ton of trouble. First, the Akatsuki are capturing Tailed Beast everywhere, then Black Zetsu and Madara are plotting something behind the scenes, and Otsutsuki Kaguya is about to be woken up too.
Uchiha Takashi's strength wasn't at the level of overwhelming everything. At best, he was a Kage -Kage Level fighter. During the Warring States period, he could show off his power and dominate, but in the Konoha era, well, forget it.
Furthermore, since the Uchiha Clan is gone, what's the point of a world without the Uchiha? It has no meaning anymore. Is it really worth going there just for revenge, to satisfy some personal emotions? That's utterly foolish.
However, what Uchiha Takashi said was actually meant for Kakashi Hatake. Yes, it was to make Kakashi Hatake and the others believe that he didn't know or want to know the specifics of that world, so that they could feel at ease letting him send them back later.
In reality, Uchiha Takashi was planning to secretly do something.
