Adult Sasuke walked through the streets of Sea Capital, he looked at this city, which was even more developed than Konoha, and felt utterly astonished.
He knew all too well how long it had taken for Konoha to develop. At this time, Konoha, to put it bluntly, still full of country bumpkins. But the Sea Capital before him was already more developed than Konoha in his world.
Electronic devices are everywhere, skyscrapers stand tall, and there are all kinds of transportation.
Chronologically speaking, this was over twenty years ago.
Sasuke watched this scene and fell silent.
After returning home with the others, Sasuke sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat reserved.
"Don't be so formal, just treat it like you're home."
Mikoto looked at Sasuke and said gently.
She saw Sasuke's past and felt a deep pang of sympathy for him.
I also witnessed my own ending in that world.
She felt nothing but hatred towards Fugaku.
This idiot who ruined everything is disgusting in any world.
"However, I do have a question. Itachi, Sasuke seems to be older than you. Now, should you call him 'brother,' or should he call you 'brother'?"
Shisui chuckled mischievously and patted Itachi on the shoulder.
Hearing this, Itachi glanced at him, then looked at the Grown-up Sasuke.
"My brother will always be my brother!"
The Grown-up Sasuke looked at Itachi and said.
"Since you are me from the future, you must have many Ninjutsu that I don't know, right? Could you teach me?"
Young Sasuke looked at the Grown-up Sasuke and said...
"This,,,"
Looking at his younger self, Sasuke remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Can."
"Hmph, this way I can become stronger again, and then..."
The thought of finally being able to defeat Naruto made Sasuke hum softly.
Grown-up Sasuke knew exactly what he was thinking, but he said nothing. After all, he did need someone to keep him in check when he was a child, otherwise he would easily become arrogant.
And Naruto in this world has that power.
Even he was somewhat stunned when he saw Naruto's strength just now; it was completely different from the Naruto he remembered.
He knew about the Nine-Tails, but the Eight Gates Released Formation and the Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu were two outrageous abilities that the Naruto he knew had absolutely no knowledge of.
To put it bluntly, even he himself would have to go through a lot of trouble dealing with this eight-year-old Naruto.
What is he doing at eight years old? It seems he's still playing house at school.
As for Naruto, he's someone everyone wants to beat up; he does nothing but play pranks.
"Could you tell me about your world? Especially about that Minazuki Yuzuru?"
Even Grown-up Sasuke couldn't resist his curiosity.
"Well, that's a long story. Let's take it slow."
Itachi and Shisui sat down and began talking to the Grown-up Sasuke from another world.
Mikoto looked at them, a smile flashing across her face, then turned and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Young Sasuke scratched his head and sat down quietly beside him.
Meanwhile, Boruto followed Minato's family back home.
Looking at this warm and cozy home, Boruto's eyes were filled with envy.
He had also wondered what it would be like if his grandparents were still alive.
Unfortunately, that's impossible.
Minato and Kushina from that world have been dead for many years.
Young Naruto looked at his son, who was several years older than him and belonged to another world, and felt a strange mix of emotions.
But the feeling of blood connection that emanated from Boruto was very real.
Minato and Kushina also showed the same affection for Boruto; it's a special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, and this is no joke.
"Yay~, Naruto, I've come to find you!"
After sitting for a while, Karin Uzumaki arrived at Minato's house. Looking at Naruto and Boruto sitting next to her, she adjusted her glasses in confusion.
"Huh? Who is he?"
"Who are you? Aunt Karin?"
Boruto looked at the somewhat familiar red-haired woman and said uncertainly.
"Oh! Are you calling me? I'm only nine years old, how come I'm an auntie?"
Karin paused for a moment, then immediately bristled, much like Kushina Red Hot Habanero days.
"Um, Karin, come sit down first, let me explain."
Naruto then told her the gist of what had happened.
"Oh, Soga, that means he's your son from another parallel universe."
"Um."
"By the way, Boruto, who was your mother in that world?"
Karin immediately asked.
"Uh... yes, it's Hinata Hyuga."
"What?!"*2
Naruto and Karin were both shocked.
Although Naruto experienced the Naruto Infinite Tsukuyomi, he only saw a glimpse of his childhood. He didn't see much of the future because he simply couldn't bear to watch anymore.
Naruto's experiences alone were enough to disgust him, not to mention his brainwashed values and the idea that everything about ninjas was something he found repulsive. Of course, he knew that the fault didn't lie with Naruto, but that didn't stop him from being unable to stand it.
It's like watching a tragic clown and then discovering that you're the main character. Even if Naruto is as calm as he is, he'd find it hard to watch anymore.
So when Naruto heard Boruto say that his mother was Hinata Hyuga, Naruto was completely stunned.
"The boss, huh?"
Karin grabbed Naruto by the neck, a smug grin spreading across her face. " Naruto! You'd better give me an explanation, or else!"
"Wait, wait, Karin, I can really explain!"
Naruto quickly said.
Minato and Kushina were standing nearby, also laughed and said, " Karin, let go of Naruto first. The history of that world is indeed quite different from ours."
Karin only let go after Kushina spoke.
Naruto stretched his neck, smiled helplessly, and said, "Let me explain."
Afterwards, they told Karin about Naruto's experiences in that world, and Karin realized how vast the difference was between that world and theirs.
"I see. So, that world was still the ninja era until Boruto grew up?"
Karin stared at Boruto in disbelief.
"That's true."
Boruto looked somewhat helpless.
"My God, after all these years, there hasn't been any progress at all?"
Karin, having grown up under the new education system in Sea Capital, found it hard to believe that such a backward system as the ninja system could still exist for decades, especially since it was a purely cannibalistic era.
Boruto was speechless at that moment.
"There's nothing we can do. Without Yuzuru, our world would be just like Boruto's world. Kushina and I would still die in the Nine-Tails' Attack Konoha. The ninja system would never be broken."
" Yuzuru's vision far surpasses everyone else's. He led us onto a new path; otherwise, we would still be living under that outdated ninja system, just like them."
Minato sighed.
