"Konoha Village has really changed so much now."
Sasuke sat quietly in a barbecue restaurant opened by the Akimichi Clan, suddenly sighing, "Who would have thought back then."
"Hey, friend, from the sound of it, you must be from out of town, right?"
"That's right!"
Sasuke raised his wine cup, clinked it with the man in front of him, and said with a smile, "I just arrived today. I've always heard that Konoha Village is a great place."
"You've come to the right place. Konoha Villagewasn't actually that good before."
The big man said casually, "It's only been in the last few years, with the new Hokage—no, the new Daimyō in power—that Konoha Village has gotten much better. Everyone has a lot to look forward to now."
Sasuke's mouth twitched.
The way you say that makes it sound like things weren't good when the Third Hokage was in power.
"Don't you dare not believe it. Now is the best time for Konoha Village to soar."
Seeing Sasuke's indifferent expression, the big man's face turned cold, "Are you looking down on our Konoha Village?"
Sasuke: "…"
What's with that proud expression of yours?
"Look, now the Daimyō also serves as the Fifth Generation Hokage, and he has thwarted many enemy attacks. He's incredibly powerful."
"Some say he has surpassed all previous Hokage, and even the First Hokage might not be his match. The key is, he's only 12 years old."
"Isn't that amazing?"
Fifth Generation?
Isn't that Kakashi?
Even if it's Kakashi, it's not now.
How strange. I also heard Naruto became the Daimyō on the way here.
That's ridiculous.
A twelve-year-old Daimyō.
Wait!
This big man said the Daimyō also serves as the Hokage, the Fifth Generation, and is only twelve years old.
Hiss!
Sasuke, realizing it a bit late, gasped, looking at the big man in shock, "Are you telling the truth? Is the current Hokage and Daimyō Uzumaki Naruto?"
"What's wrong with you? You should address him as the esteemed Hokage-sama, or Daimyō-sama. How can you call him by his name? Who do you think you are?"
Sasuke was expressionless.
Next, Sasuke sat there, subtly gathering information, and quickly accepted the truth.
That is, this past world, apart from a few names, was completely different from the past world he knew.
The most exaggerated part was Naruto.
In the increasingly exaggerated versions spread by those people, when Naruto was five years old, he had already meticulously planned everything, step by step, calculating against the Third Hokage and his group, and gathering many people to assist him.
Then, on a certain day a few years ago, when the time was ripe, he brazenly launched a rebellion, sweeping them into the dustbin of history on the grounds of their inaction.
After a few years of consolidation, he recently thwarted a joint attack by the Hidden Sand Villageand the Akatsuki Organization.
He even severely crippled the Akatsuki Organization and the Hidden Sand Village in one fell swoop.
Now, Konoha Village is unprecedentedly powerful; it's no longer that decadent Konoha Village.
"It feels like listening to gibberish!"
Sasuke walked out of the barbecue restaurant in a daze, turned his head to look at the bustling scene inside, remained silent for a moment, thought about it, and decided to wander around a bit more.
He needed to figure out what exactly had happened here.
And if what the big man said was true, then perhaps he could easily defeat Ōtsutsuki Urashikihere.
This wasn't a bad thing either.
"Oh no, Boruto!"
Sasuke's expression suddenly changed slightly.
If this Naruto was really as formidable and deeply calculating as the big man said.
Then Boruto, a small fry like him, would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.
"I should go get him out first."
"The big man said Naruto has moved, and is now in a large, detached house not far from the Hokage Office."
"Found it."
Sasuke was both unfamiliar and familiar with the current Konoha Village. His strength was top-tier at the moment, and he almost silently found where Naruto lived.
"Where did Boruto go?"
After looking around, Sasuke didn't find Boruto. As he searched, he suddenly paused.
Right, Boruto isn't fully aware of everything that's happened in the Village yet, so he should be in the old apartment now.
Feeling a little awkward, he was so shocked that his usual thinking processes weren't working.
"I hope it's not too late."
...
Meanwhile, Naruto planned to mess with this cheap son.
After all, this was the place where Naruto once lived, and Nara Shikaku had turned it into a popular spot.
Normally, this place wasn't open to the public, and Naruto had also carved the Flying Thunder God Technique here.
Silently arriving at this place full of memories, Naruto sighed, "Nine-Tailed, do you remember? I used to pretend to fool that old man, the Third Hokage, right here."
"I remember. He even looked through your drawings. What he didn't know was that I drew all of them."
"Wait!"
Shukaku suddenly looked up, staring at the Nine-Tailed in shock, "You can draw?"
"Of course, all the drawings you saw in that house were drawn by me!"
Shock!
The Nine-Tailed, who was clumsy with his hands, could draw, and drew exceptionally well.
Shukaku looked at the Nine-Tailed blankly, "Those words…"
"I wrote them too."
"Damn it!"
Shukaku cursed inwardly. He could write too, but definitely not as beautifully as that.
Did this guy just write and draw in this space, besides farming?
That's just too… comfortable.
"It's decided, I'll learn from the Nine-Tailed."
No!
Shukaku suddenly remembered Naruto's saying, 'Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die.'
He couldn't be like the Nine-Tailed.
His hobbies were writing and drawing, so what about himself?
"I need to think carefully!"
"Let's go."
Not knowing what Shukaku was thinking, Narutoreminisced about the past for a moment, changed into his old clothes, and leisurely went downstairs.
Soon after going downstairs, he saw Boruto's eager expression.
As soon as Boruto saw Naruto, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Is this my past dad?"
"He doesn't look particularly special, but why does his aura feel somewhat similar to Dad in the future?"
Boruto scratched his head, feeling a bit strange.
"You are?"
As Naruto passed Boruto, he looked at him strangely, frowning, 'Have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel so familiar with you?'
"No, absolutely not!"
"Perhaps it's because we're both from the Uzumaki Clan, so you feel familiar?"
"Is that so?"
Naruto looked at Boruto meaningfully, and said faintly, "I think so too."
Boruto gave an awkward smile and remained silent.
"Naruto!"
Just then, not far away, Hinata shyly called out, jogging over.
Perhaps due to ample nutrition, her almost thirteen-year-old body was already taking shape.
Boruto's eyes lit up, then he looked bewildered.
Is this his past mom?
Why doesn't she seem as plain?
In the photos he saw in the future, Hinata appeared frequently, but always in the same type of clothes.
But now, the clothes she was wearing were much more fashionable.
"You're here."
Naruto smiled and waved, pointing at Boruto, "Come see, this is Boruto, our son from a parallel future."
Boruto: "???"
Horrifying!
Hinata: "???"
Dizzy, about to faint!!!
