"Uncle Yuzuru is truly remarkable."
Karin nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
"Grandpa, do you think our Shinobi World can still be saved?"
Boruto couldn't help but ask.
"I cannot give an accurate assessment."
Minato gently shook his head.
"Your world has missed the best time for change. I don't know about your generation, but unless you can unite and have the strength to crush everyone in the Shinobi World, you won't be able to break the old system."
"Moreover, the biggest problem is not breaking down the old system, but whether the new system can be stabilized after it is established."
Minato analyzed the situation carefully.
"You and Sasuke must have been to Konoha in this era, right?"
"Yeah, I've been there. All I can say Sea Capital, Konoha is practically a primitive society."
Boruto retorted.
" The Land of Fire was originally the strongest country in the Shinobi World, and Konoha was the strongest ninja village. But now, they have lost the Nine-Tails and many young people who had the potential to become powerful ninjas. The strength of the Sea Capital and the Land of Water has crushed all the villages."
"And that's not all. Many children have entered the Sea Region Academy, a new Academy established by Yuzuru. Its purpose is to transform them with new education and correct values, not just from Konoha, but from various other ninja villages."
"They will find it difficult to Jonin in the future, and they will see the true nature of the Shinobi World. As a result, after Yuzuru eliminates all the old systems and ninjas and unifies the entire Shinobi World, they will play their part, take over the management of the Shinobi World that needs to be rebuilt, and change others with the correct values and new ideas they have already established."
"The former quietly develops technology and strength so that it can completely overwhelm all old things in the future, while the latter ensures that new systems and ideas are thoroughly established. Both are indispensable; only in this way can the Shinobi World be completely changed."
Minato explained Yuzuru's plan to Boruto.
"But your world is different. According to your timeline, the Shinobi World's technology has already undergone its first rapid development. Although Naruto and Sasuke still possess overwhelming power over the entire Shinobi World, they can no longer bring themselves to do it because they have been assimilated."
"Unless those two help you kill all the ninjas under the old system—as long as they don't submit, then it's all over, leaving no one alive—and Konoha undergoes a major reform, a complete overhaul of both its systems and ideology, only by doing both can there be even a sliver of hope."
Minato told the truth.
"Is there no other way?"
Boruto couldn't help but ask.
"Unfortunately, almost none, because your Shinobi World system has undergone four rounds of refinement, and the Fourth Shinobi World War was an unprecedented refinement, resulting in everyone being bound by a chain in their hearts."
"In conclusion, I don't believe your Shinobi World needs saving."
"Unless someone possesses extraordinary strength and an absolutely unwavering resolve, the same determination to oppose the entire Shinobi World as Yuzuru back then."
After Minato finished speaking, he patted Boruto on the shoulder.
"Although it's sad, that's just how it is sometimes. Opportunities don't come all the time, and even when they do, you can't always seize them..."
Boruto fell silent.
"Alright, enough of that. You've never had Grandma's cooking before, have you? Today I'll show you Grandma's culinary skills!"
Kushina excitedly went to the kitchen and began preparing to show off her culinary skills.
Minato was sweating profusely, but he pretended to be nonchalant, as was Naruto.
Boruto, on the other hand, had a face full of anticipation that almost made Minato and Naruto burst out laughing.
No, you can't laugh yet!
We'll wait until Boruto tastes it for himself before we laugh!
Seeing this, Karin quietly went home.
She knew Kushina's culinary skills well, so naturally she had to avoid her for the time being.
After finishing their barbecue, Yuzuru, Tsunade, and Hinata walked home together.
On the way, Hinata hesitated several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself, while tightly holding Yuzuru's large hand.
Finally, when they reached her doorstep, Hinata couldn't help but ask, "Sensei, was what you said earlier true?"
"What did you just say? What was it?"
Yuzuru countered with a question.
"Yes, it's possible that in some parallel universe, you and I, Teacher, will be together."
Hinata asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Yuzuru realized what was happening and her eyes widened.
Tsunade, who was standing to the side, was also stunned, staring at Hinata in shock.
Hinata, why would you think that?
"I... I don't know either."
Hinata's cheeks instantly turned red, and steam began to rise from her head.
Seeing this, Tsunade glared fiercely at Yuzuru.
"As someone who's been there, I'm telling you, don't be fooled by your teacher. He's a complete scoundrel, and besides, you're still young and don't understand anything."
"I'm actually not that young anymore, and besides, the teacher is really nice."
Hinata muttered to herself.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Tsunade, puzzled.
"No, it's nothing."
Hinata immediately shook her head.
Yuzuru laughed and said, "Alright, teacher, I'm not as bad as you say. You're making me sound like some kind of wicked villain. I just rushed... um!"
"Shut up!"
Tsunade immediately covered his mouth.
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up, I'll shut up, alright?"
Yuzuru raised his hand in a show of weakness.
Then, he patted Hinata's head. "A tree can produce countless branches, and each thick branch can produce countless smaller branches, just like countless parallel worlds. So, anything is possible."
Hinata's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.
"I understand, teacher."
After saying that, Hinata happily went home.
Yuzuru looked at her, smiled, said nothing, and took Tsunade's small hand. "Let's go, it's time to go home."
"Heh, how did you teach Hinata?"
Just like you.
"Nonsense!"
"That's about right. It's all because the teachers are so outstanding that they attract so many students; it's perfectly normal."
"You!"
Tsunade was instantly amused and exasperated.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Remember to leave the door open for me tonight."
"Get out, I already said not tonight."
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Today is Hong and Guang's day off, so I came secretly. Besides, teacher, you've already thought about it, haven't you?"
Hearing this, Tsunade rolled her eyes at him.
"You little rascal! How did I end up with a little rascal like you?"
"That's because my teacher loves me too."
Yuzuru led Tsunade and they slowly walked towards home.
"You little rascal!"
Tsunade gave a soft snort, then obediently let him lead her away by the hand.
Hinata leaned against her bedroom window, watching with her Byakugan as Yuzuru and Tsunade left hand in hand.
"Teacher,,,"
