"You're finally awake. I have many questions for you."
Plow: "???"
"What questions? Didn't you get your wish and come to this past timeline?"
"What, did something unexpected happen? Did the young Uzumaki Naruto you were looking for die?"
'Oh no! This is bad!'
Sasuke's mouth twitched violently.
Why hadn't he noticed before that this time-travel machine was such a blunder?
Boruto stood to the side, glaring fiercely at Plow: "You're the one who died! Your whole family died!"
"I don't have family. I'm just a treasure tool."
"Enough of that!"
Sasuke looked coldly at Plow: "Explain why this past we've arrived in is completely different from the past I know."
"Different how?"
Plow was stunned, somewhat unable to comprehend.
It was all a pre-determined past; how could it change, unless you risked your future disappearing to change everything?
But looking at Sasuke and Boruto, it seemed something significant had truly happened.
Plow poked out its turtle head, its voice full of doubt: "Tell me, what happened?"
Sasuke and Boruto recounted everything they had seen recently.
Plow: "..."
Buzz buzz buzz~
"Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."
Boruto snatched the turtle treasure tool from Sasuke's hand, shaking it violently, and growled nervously: "Don't crash."
"Let go, let go! It's going to explode!"
Plow was dizzy and quickly spoke to stop him and explain: "It's nothing, I just glitched for a moment. I'm fine now."
"Phew~"
"I don't know about the situation you're describing. I'm just a treasure tool, a treasure tool used by the Ōtsutsuki clan. I haven't seen the specifics myself."
"Anyway, isn't it pretty good now? As you humans say: just make the best of it."
"However, since this Uzumaki Naruto is so powerful, you can definitely leave that Ōtsutsukihere. Good luck."
Plow retracted its head, its voice drifting out from inside its turtle shell: "I need to continue recharging my energy. Don't disturb me unless it's important."
Boruto: "..."
Sasuke: "..."
They asked for nothing.
"What now?"
Boruto looked at Sasuke: "Even I can tell this war will be very brutal."
"I want to help!"
"Help make things worse?"
Sasuke eyed him: "You be careful. I don't want to go back carrying your corpse."
"I wouldn't be able to explain it to Naruto then."
"As for this war!"
Sasuke scoffed: "They're all just a bunch of weaklings, defeated opponents. With Naruto here, there's no problem."
"This world's Naruto is very strong. You have time now, so you might as well gain something practical."
"Like training!"
"Good point!"
Boruto's eyes lit up, and he excitedly walked away.
Watching the eager Boruto, Sasuke shook his head. This scene reminded him a bit of when he was a child, wanting to train with his brother.
Time passes so quickly; so much time has already gone by.
"Beautiful!"
Without Boruto's disturbance, Sasuke walked alone on the streets of Konoha Village.
Unconsciously, he found himself at the Hokage Rock again.
Overlooking Konoha Village below, with its vibrant lights and bustling crowds.
Whoosh!
A breeze swirled, a chill permeated the air, and a withered yellow leaf landed on Sasuke's shoulder.
A hand reached out from behind him, picked up the leaf from his shoulder, and flicked it. The leaf, like a sharp blade, precisely embedded itself into the muddy ground nearby.
Sasuke came back to his senses, turned his head, and met a pair of gentle eyes.
"Brother?"
"Your vigilance is very poor, Sasuke!"
Uchiha Itachi, with his ninja sword on his back, stood beside Sasuke, tilting his head and sighing as he looked at the weathered Sasuke before him: "It seems the future isn't easy."
"It's alright, I'm used to it."
Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi before him.
Indeed, everything was different.
The Uchiha Itachi in his memories only had such a gentle expression when he was very young.
Later, as the conflict between the Village and the clan intensified, he never saw that expression again.
"Going to train?"
Itachi chuckled. Sasuke was stunned for a moment, then silently followed…
…
"This~"
Naruto, full and content, was bored and observed the prosperity of Konoha Village from above using his Telescope Jutsu.
Then he saw this scene.
Nine-Tailed was sprawled on the table, its tail fanning Naruto with a fan.
Seeing this scene, Nine-Tailed curled its lip: "That's very Uchiha Itachi."
"Indeed."
Naruto smiled casually: "Perhaps this is the only way they can find a sense of familiarity."
Their ages were reversed now; Sasuke was several years older than Uchiha Itachi.
This gave Naruto a feeling that: a brother is a brother, and in front of me, you will always be my younger brother.
"Itachi has also returned. This time, let those people see the true power of my Land of Fire."
Naruto held a cup of drink he had taken from his spatial dimension and took a sip, saying faintly: "Sasuke's Three Tomoe Sharingan has been around for quite a while, hasn't it?"
"Not long!"
"His talent really can't compare to Itachi's, but it's not bad that he's progressed steadily to this point."
"Hm?"
Suddenly,
Naruto frowned, feeling a strange sensation deep within.
"It's like a sealed power is awakening."
Naruto's eyes lit up: "Tenseigan!"
Whoosh!
A Flying Thunder God directly brought him to Hinata's room.
At this moment, Hinata had just finished bathing and was wearing a nightgown.
Naruto's attention, however, was on Hinata's eyes.
His sensory abilities had grown day by day over the years, and he vaguely sensed a difference.
"Naruto?"
Hinata was startled, her face flushed, and she hastily pulled the blanket beside her.
Naruto: "..."
Hinata looked at Naruto hesitantly.
These past few days, because of Boruto, she hadn't dared to speak to Naruto. Every time she spoke, she felt like she was going to have a child.
Now, suddenly being so close, she only felt dizzy.
"Don't faint yet. Carefully feel the changes in your eyes."
Eyes?
Hinata wondered: "There's no change, is there? I just feel like my vision has improved a lot recently, and my Byakugan can see in color now."
Naruto was stunned, somewhat confused.
Did the Tenseigan have this ability? He only remembered that the Jogan seemed to have this ability.
"Oh, I do feel a magical power gathering in my eyes now."
Hinata's eyes were bright, her Byakugan staring intently at Naruto, her voice joyful: "Am I going to awaken it?"
"Probably!"
Naruto took a deep breath; he felt even more excited than Hinata.
If Hinata awakened the Tenseigan, her strength would skyrocket, making her the second strongest in the Land of Fire.
"Come, let's go outside and talk!"
He didn't want to enjoy this moment alone.
As Hinata's father, Hyuga Hiashi, naturally had to be present as well.
"Naruto!"
When Naruto and Hinata came out together, Hyuga Hiashi's face instantly darkened at the sight, and he roared: 'Why are you in Hinata's room?'
