Sasuke and Boruto's departure didn't cause much of a stir; everyone continued with their own affairs.
After leaving the Land of Water, the two returned to the Shinobi World.
Along the way, everything from the Land of Water had disappeared, leaving only dilapidated villages, villagers, and ninjas chasing each other on their missions.
Is this really the same era?
Boruto couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Sasuke:
"Master, was this what the Shinobi World was like back then?"
After a moment of silence, Sasuke shook his head slightly.
"Even worse than this."
Boruto was speechless for a moment.
Do you know the Land of Waves we just passed through?
"Yes, I remember, there was a bridge there later named after my father."
"Actually, when I was a child, it wasn't as wealthy as we just saw. On the contrary, the people of the Land of Waves lived a very hard life, and a wealthy man named Gato was constantly exploiting them."
A flicker of memory crossed Sasuke's eyes.
"After your father and I became ninjas, the first C-rank mission we received was to go to the Land of Waves. The reward for that C-rank mission was the money that the poor Land of Waves had saved up by scrimping and saving. They were already living a very hard life, but no one was helping them, so they had to come to Konoha to issue missions, and they could only issue the lowest C-rank missions."
"But it was during that C-rank mission that we encountered Zabuza and Yuki Haku."
"Is that the old man with the greatsword in the Sea Capital?"
Boruto thought of someone he had met in Sea Capital.
"It was him. In this world, he's doing well, living a completely new life, but in our world, Zabuza perish in our mission."
" The Kirigakure was not the present-day Sea Capital, but a bloody killing field. His short life was spent in blood and pain."
Upon hearing this, Boruto fell silent.
"This world is very lucky. To be honest, I'm actually a little jealous of myself in this world."
Sasuke sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness and blessings.
"He had a complete childhood, his mother is still alive, his older brother is by his side, and the Uchiha Clan hasn't been wiped out. He will have a happy life and a better future..."
"I think Naruto would feel the same way if he saw himself in this world."
This was the first time Boruto had seen such an expression in Sasuke's eyes.
He didn't know what the past of that world was like, but from his master's expression, he could sense that it must have been a painful and desperate past.
With his eyes closed, Sasuke's conviction was reaffirmed!
" Boruto, let's change our world together."
"Me, me?"
Boruto looked at Sasuke, feeling somewhat uncertain.
"There is a power within you that is greater than mine."
Sasuke looked at him and said.
"Really?"
"It was Lord Yuzuru said it."
"Well?"
"Your mother was the true genius, but she grew up in a hopeless Shinobi World, losing the brilliance that should have been hers. And you, you inherited her bloodline, as well as the Momoshiki Otsutsuki."
"I will help you master these powers. After that, Boruto, no matter what the future holds, remember what you learned and saw in the Sea Capital. These things will guide you in the right direction."
Sasuke looked at him and said.
"I see."
"The era of ninjas should indeed come to an end."
Sasuke, with Boruto in tow, continued to approach Konoha.
Along the way, they didn't see the prosperity of Konoha, but only the cruelty of the lowest levels of the Shinobi World.
Boruto also gained a deeper understanding of the Shinobi World.
Driven by youthful passion, Boruto helped many oppressed ordinary people and killed many wandering ninjas and bandits.
But it was all in vain; their lives didn't improve much, they were only temporarily out of danger.
Sasuke didn't interfere, because only by witnessing the cruelty of the Shinobi World could one understand the meaning of the Sea Capital's existence.
Sea Capital, I experienced a social system completely different from the Shinobi World. Perhaps I didn't realize it at the time, but when you return to the Shinobi World, these two completely different worlds will show you what true cruelty is and what the real future is.
Three days later, the two arrived in Konoha.
Boruto looked at the familiar Konoha. Although it lacked the technology of his era, many iconic things still remained, such as the walls and the Hokage Rock.
But what Boruto felt most strongly about wasn't these things, but rather that the people here completely lacked the spirit and energy that people from the Sea Capital and the Land of Water should have, and were also extremely lacking in manners!
Watching the foul-mouthed Konoha and the bullying among the children, Boruto's initial anger had subsided, and he had become much calmer and more composed.
"Master, the Shinobi World is beyond saving."
Sasuke reached out and ruffled Boruto's hair, then secretly used his Sharingan and Rinnegan to locate Plowshare.
The two arrived at the place where Konoha kept its ancient artifacts and found the plow.
However, they thought they could leave smoothly, but no matter how much Chakra Sasuke and Boruto injected, they couldn't activate the device.
Left with no other option, the two had to leave with the plow.
Their arrival and departure went unnoticed by anyone.
"So, are we going back to Sea Capital to find Uncle Yuzuru?"
"Yes, only he can activate this thing."
Afterwards, the two hurried towards the Land of Water.
A few days later, Kakashi wasn't too surprised to see Sasuke and Boruto return.
You're back?
"Um."
Sasuke nodded.
Boruto, however, seemed somewhat confused and asked in surprise:
"So, you knew we would come back?"
" Yuzuru knows that, after all, you've traveled to another time and space, a past that doesn't belong to your world. Returning to your world smoothly won't be easy."
Without wasting words, Kakashi led the two to the Flying Thunder God Formation and sent them directly back to the vicinity of the Presidential Building.
Yuzuru is flirting with Mikoto in his office, after all, he stood Mikoto up yet again.
Although Mikoto has a good temper, she gets angry every time Yuzuru teases her like this and then doesn't do anything about it. But she only gets angry for a short while each time. It can only be said that Mrs. Mikoto is too soft-hearted.
" Sasuke and Boruto are back."
Yuzuru suddenly spoke.
"Huh? So fast?"
Mei Terumi looked at him in surprise.
"Is it fast? It feels slow. Given Sasuke's strength, he should be able to make a round trip from the Land of Water to Konoha in three days at most, but it's been a week already."
Yuzuru stared at the office door.
Soon, Sasuke and Boruto arrived at the office. After exchanging polite greetings, they looked at Yuzuru.
"This is the plow; we came to this time and space through this thing."
Sasuke took out the sealed turtle.
