125Boruto, Future SasukeAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 125 Boruto, Future Sasuke
"Phew!"
"Finally out."
Sasuke opened his eyes and looked around, nodding, "That's right, this place isn't far from Konoha Village, Boruto, you're about to see your dad when he was about your age."
"A little excited, hehehe!"
Boruto rubbed his hands, eagerly anticipating meeting his father's younger self, he really wanted to see what his dad's life was like then.
"His life is much better now, and his strength is not bad."
Future Sasuke led Boruto towards Konoha Village, his tone serious: "The current Konoha Village has just gone through the Konoha Crush not long ago, it's very strict, we need to be careful."
"The Konoha Crush, I've heard of it. Was it Uncle Orochimaru's doing? I heard people from Hidden Sand Village also participated."
"That's right!"
"In that battle, the Third Hokage died, and Konoha Village also suffered significant losses. During such a critical period, it won't be easy for us to blend in."
Future Sasuke thought for a moment: "How about this, we'll say we're here to perform acrobatics and earn money."
"Ah!"
Boruto made a bitter face: "That's too lame."
"Then you come up with another idea?"
He glanced coolly at Boruto: "Remember, we're here to protect Naruto, we need a good identity as a cover."
"That Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, we don't know where he is. If we appear openly, there will be unpredictable risks."
"Understood."
"When the time comes, you find an opportunity to approach them, don't go directly to Naruto, his identity is special."
"You can try to get close to Shikamaru… Forget it, you can't outsmart him."
"Others are fine, slowly integrate."
He looked at Boruto again, and seeing that he had taken his words to heart, Future Sasuke finally relaxed.
The two rushed towards Konoha Village at an extremely fast speed.
… …
"Is this Konoha Village at that time? It looks so ancient."
"The Village from back then."
Future Sasuke's expression was complex as he fell into memories.
At that time, he had already defected, and it took several years before he returned to the Village.
Time spares no one; after a few years, the Villagehad changed a lot.
Looking at it now, it was so nostalgic.
"Let's go!"
Sasuke pulled his thoughts back.
Being able to travel through time and see those people from his childhood again was also a good experience.
"Wait, something's not right!"
Boruto, who was about to move, slammed on the brakes, turning his head strangely to look at Sasuke: "What's wrong, Sensei?"
"Something's wrong!"
Staring deeply at Konoha Village, Future Sasukewas surprised to find that this time, Konoha Villagehad changed greatly, and the damage from the previous Konoha Crush was much less.
Before, almost half of Konoha Village was draped in white cloths after the Konoha Crush.
From a distance, there were still many funerals.
Moreover, Konoha Village had been heavily damaged, and the architects were working overtime to catch up.
So, from a distance, Konoha Village looked very chaotic.
But now, from here, he only saw signs of construction at the old arena; the rest of the places hadn't changed much.
"Look, isn't this an expansion of Konoha Village?"
Boruto raised his hand and pointed at the construction teams around Konoha Village: "Is it starting now?"
"No, something is very wrong!"
Future Sasuke's expression was grave, his face changing dramatically: "Did we arrive too late, and Naruto was captured?"
"Go!"
Thinking of this, Future Sasuke could no longer sit still. He pulled Boruto beside him and, under Boruto's terrified expression, rushed directly towards Konoha Village.
Soon, two disguised performers appeared in Konoha Village.
"This is the Konoha Village you spoke of, Sensei; I think it looks pretty good."
The two dared not act recklessly, because the turtle had said that if they were discovered, it would affect the future, and they might disappear.
"You perform acrobatics, and I'll gather information nearby."
Boruto: "…"
Sensei, do you even hear yourself? You're making me, a small-fry, do this. Are you even human?
No choice, the arm couldn't twist the thigh. Borutocould only put on a brave face and start his act.
How to put it, for ordinary people, this was a dimensionality reduction attack.
But for most Ninja, these were child's play.
So, only ordinary people gathered around.
"Has the world turned upside down like this?"
Not far away,
Shikamaru and Choji slowly walked over. Seeing the acrobatics, they were surprised, then came closer to look. Shikamaru seemed to be deep in thought.
This person's steps were very steady, and he didn't look old, about their age. He was a Ninja, and his strength should be good.
"Where did he come from? He looks like Naruto."
"He really does!"
Ino Yamanaka caught up from behind. Hearing this, she carefully examined him for a few moments, then nodded: "Is it because they are both from the Uzumaki Clan?"
"Very likely!"
Shikamaru thought about how Naruto's recent missions hadn't been assigned, and many people from the Uzumaki Clan were planning to settle here.
It made sense for this person from the Uzumaki Clan to appear in Konoha Village now.
Future Sasuke: "…"
What did he just hear?
It was completely different from what he had experienced.
Looking at them, they didn't seem worried at all, which meant Naruto hadn't been captured.
Then why were things happening so differently?
He frowned. If the turtle hadn't fallen into a deep sleep right after crossing over and wouldn't wake up for a while, he would want to ask what exactly happened right now.
Boruto, nearby, was listening with his heart pounding, his heart in his throat.
He was terrified of being discovered if he made a single mistake.
"But as a Ninja, how did he end up earning money by performing acrobatics?"
"He looks quite strong for his age."
Shikamaru rubbed his chin, planning to approach this person later.
Such a genius should be contributing to the Village.
Currently, he was being dragged by his father to work, busy day and and night.
Konoha Village now had enough manpower, but it was really frustrating to have a Daimyo who did nothing.
"Let's just watch for now, it's quite interesting."
Shikamaru watched with a smile, while Chojicrunched on potato chips, and Ino Yamanaka felt indifferent.
Just watch, there was no rush anyway.
Future Sasuke was thoughtful.
He felt that things had exceeded their expectations.
It seemed they needed to be even more careful.
Future Sasuke quietly stepped back a few paces. Now, it was up to Boruto to handle it.
Having spent so many days with him, and as a Ninja, he would have to face all this sooner or later.
Boruto: "…"
Hey, Sensei, you wouldn't be that much of a jerk, would you?
Seeing Future Sasuke's actions, Boruto felt a little flustered.
Just then, a Sasuke walked over from not far away.
And a tag-along followed behind him.
"Sasuke, wait for me!"
Sasuke!?
Future Sasuke froze at the shout, mechanically turning his head towards the source of the sound.
A proud child, and a Sakura chasing behind him.
Sasuke and Sakura's figures entered his sight.
"How could this be?"
A turbulent wave surged within Future Sasuke's heart…
