"Zetsu, what's wrong with you?"
In the Land of Rain,
within the Akatsuki Organization, a clone of Zetsu had been taking care of Nagato's daily needs for the past few days.
But at this moment, Zetsu suddenly trembled all over, his face filled with terror, as if something major was about to happen.
"Nagato, I'm going to hide for a bit. A terrifying person is coming. You need to be careful."
After Zetsu finished speaking, he slipped into the ground with a swish and vanished from Nagato's sight in the blink of an eye.
Nagato: "…"
Who could possibly make Zetsu, who had never shown fear, so terrified?
"Hehehe, you must be the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, Nagato!"
With a light chuckle, space tore open, and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki stepped out.
"Who are you?"
Nagato looked at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki coldly, feeling more and more like he recognized him.
"Allow me to introduce myself, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki!"
"Ōtsutsuki?"
Nagato was stunned.
That's right,
this person in front of him looked very similar to the legendary Kaguya.
But wasn't that just a legend?
And this person was also similar to Toneri. Could it be that he was also a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki?
Nagato felt his scalp tingle.
The legendary Ōtsutsuki had appeared. Had this world gone mad?
"I'm looking for you because your strength is decent. We can cooperate."
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki looked at the Gedo Statue with interest. Wasn't this the husk of the Ten-Tails?
"Cooperate on what?"
Nagato calmed down, and hearing Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's words shattered his idealized view of this legendary clan.
What kind of situation would make him seek cooperation with himself?
It wouldn't be Uzumaki Naruto, would it?
"I want Tailed Beast Chakra. I remember that your goal is the same as mine, so we can definitely cooperate, can't we?"
"Alright!"
Nagato agreed directly.
His goal had now changed.
All his objectives, all his dreams, had to wait until he rescued Konan. Everything else was secondary.
"By the way, do you have any other companions?"
Although Ōtsutsuki Urashiki had investigated the situation, he hadn't done so in great detail.
But he knew that the person who understood you best was definitely your enemy.
As Naruto's enemy, the Akatsuki Organizationmust have a sufficient understanding of Uzumaki Naruto in this world.
"There are a few."
"Deidara, Hidan, Zabuza, Haku, their strengths are all quite good. Oh, and there's also someone named Toneri."
"What about Black Zetsu?"
Black Zetsu?
Nagato paused, then realized: "You mean Zetsu? He's busy; he's not in the Akatsuki Organization at the moment."
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki shook the red fishing hook in his hand and looked thoughtful at the reply.
Toneri?
Is that Ōtsutsuki Toneri from the moon? Isn't he on Uzumaki Naruto's side?
Then why did he block their path before and end up being sealed?
Perhaps he hadn't investigated thoroughly before. Sometimes enemies can also become friends.
Gathering his thoughts, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki nodded politely: "Alright, now tell me about this Uzumaki Naruto."
…
"Sensei, where are we going now?"
"To Uchiha."
Walking on the roads of Konoha Village, Sasukefell into a reverie.
It was this Village; if it weren't for Naruto, he wouldn't know what he'd be doing now.
Different world developments, but Naruto was still Naruto.
"Hey, look quickly, it's Sensei's wife."
"Don't call her that."
Sasuke panicked for a moment, whispering: "They haven't gotten together yet. This must be kept a secret."
"Oh~~~"
"Go back to training."
Sasuke was expressionless, a slight cold smile on his face.
You like to tease, huh? It seems you have too much energy and need a good outlet.
He couldn't do anything to Naruto, but you're his son and my student. Why are you getting so cocky?
Boruto's face fell, wishing he could slap himself. He deserved it for being so foolish.
Sakura looked at the two of them in confusion. She thought she heard the words "Sensei's wife" just now. Did she mishear?
"It's them?"
Sakura was momentarily stunned, recalling Shikamaru's words, and quietly followed them.
Boruto: "…"
Sasuke: "…"
"Sensei, do you think Sensei's wife doesn't realize we can sense her?"
"It's also possible she doesn't care."
"You're just defending her."
Boruto rolled his eyes, slightly speechless.
Sasuke gave Boruto a cool glance: "Is there a possibility that we are stronger than her right now, which is why we can detect her so easily?"
"Don't mind her. Let's go see the Uchiha Clan first."
Sasuke felt a mix of apprehension and uncertainty.
It was the feeling of being nervous when approaching home.
Standing in front of the new Uchiha compound, Sasuke realized that even though he was considered a top-tier combatant in the Ninja World, he couldn't take that first step.
Boruto stood obediently behind Sasuke.
He knew this was a painful place for his Sensei, and also where his family members resided.
"Oh, who are you looking for?"
Uchiha Mikoto was about to go out to buy groceries. As soon as she opened the door, she saw these two people standing there, not knowing what they were doing.
They looked like they wanted to come in but didn't dare, hesitating there.
"Mom when she was young!"
Sasuke was already in tears internally.
"You are… Sasuke?"
Uchiha Mikoto looked at the half of the face covered by long hair in front of her, and her intuition made her blurt it out.
Then she suddenly felt a bit silly.
Sasuke was training inside, so there was no way he could be here.
Moreover, this person had a severed arm, and his age was probably close to theirs.
Sasuke: "…"
Seeing this, Boruto's eyes darted around, and he stepped forward obediently and sensibly: "Grandma, hello. I'm Boruto, Sensei's student."
Grandma?
Uchiha Mikoto looked at Boruto kindly: "Child, some titles shouldn't be used carelessly."
Her gaze was like one looking at a child with care.
Boruto's eye twitched, and he spread his hands, glancing at Sasuke from the corner of his eye: "Sensei, I tried my best."
Sasuke was torn between laughter and tears, and his somewhat melancholic mood dissipated a little.
"Mother, I am Future Sasuke."
"Huh?"
…
In the courtyard,
Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Mikoto, along with the two Sasukes and Boruto, sat together.
Little Sasuke's face was tense, looking as bewildered as could be.
He was clearly still young, yet he saw his grown-up self.
The key was that this future self was truly miserable, with a severed arm.
"You said you came from the future?"
Seeing Future Sasuke nod, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui exchanged glances, their expressions serious.
Was the future so difficult? Even Sasuke's arm was broken.
Where did they all go?
Where did Naruto go?
Did they all die in battle?
"Wait a moment, where did the Uchiha Clan go in the future?"
Sasuke was silent for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice: "The Uchiha have no future. They were wiped out as a clan in Konoha Year 55."
"The future I come from is not the same as this world."
Future Sasuke cast a genjutsu on Little Sasuke, then recounted everything in detail.
The expressions of everyone present changed.
They hadn't expected the future to be so full of calamities.
Even the Ōtsutsuki had appeared.
No wonder Naruto had always emphasized that he wasn't very strong yet, and that the future enemies were terrifying.
So it was the Ōtsutsuki.
Everything connected.
They had wondered why Naruto, whose strength seemed to be at a ceiling level to them, was still so low-key.
It turned out he had known this day would come.
Terrifying, indeed.
After speaking, Sasuke was silent for a long time, then asked with difficulty: "What about my brother?"
