142Sasuke's shock from the futureAI Model: gemini-2.5-flashChapter 142: Sasuke's Shock from the Future
"Naruto, what is this dish?"
"My specialty!"
Naruto gestured for Sasuke and Boruto to continue eating, then smiled and said, 'How is it? Not bad, right?'
Future Sasuke's mouth twitched violently.
Your question is simply asking for a beating.
Not bad, right?
It's too good.
Although it was his first time eating this, he quickly understood its general purpose and its preciousness.
"So that's how it is."
"Teacher, what did you say?"
Boruto, while eating, looked down and asked, "So what?"
"Just eat."
Sasuke glanced at Boruto, ignored him, and instead looked at Naruto. After a long moment, he sighed with emotion, "Although I don't know where you got this, you need to be careful."
"There are many enemies in the future. Your current strength is not enough to be safe."
"I know."
"You know?"
Sasuke was surprised. He wouldn't think it was just the enemies he was talking about now, would he?
"You're talking about Ōtsutsuki. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"That's good!"
Sasuke thought about it and felt a bit overly worried.
With Naruto's strength, what did he have to fear?
There are still about twenty years until those Ōtsutsuki come to the Ninja World.
Who knows how much this Naruto will grow in that time?
Perhaps by then, crushing those Ōtsutsuki will be like child's play.
Besides, he would be going back soon, so why worry here?
With a bitter smile, Sasuke quietly ate the food made by Nine-Tailed, amused in his heart.
Perhaps he could use this to tease Naruto and Nine-Tailed when he returned; that feeling should be good too.
Nine-Tailed glanced at Sasuke, then at Naruto.
It suddenly thought of a question.
The first time it met Naruto, Naruto tried to trick it with someone from the future.
The result was that it was exposed on the spot.
But looking now, it was horrified to find that what Naruto had said before largely matched what Sasuke and Boruto were saying.
So,
What exactly is going on with Naruto?
Nine-Tailed looked at Naruto suspiciously, deep in thought. It seemed there were still secrets about Naruto that it didn't know.
Hmph!
This person, he hides things so well.
Nine-Tailed pouted and nudged Shukaku beside it.
The three of them, purely numb from the shock of Nine-Tailed and Naruto, remained dazed in the fish tank, wondering what they were thinking.
"What are you doing?"
Shukaku glared at Nine-Tailed and growled unhappily, "It's mealtime, don't mess around."
"I made this."
"It's still mealtime."
Nine-Tailed: "…"
Naruto watched this scene with amusement, ignoring them, and instead talked to Sasuke about future events.
Sasuke had mentioned some before, but they were just main outlines.
Now that there was time, it was good to hear about some future events.
"Oh, right."
While chatting with Sasuke, Naruto suddenly looked at him curiously and asked, "I have a question: how did you and Sakura get together back then?"
If he remembered correctly, Sasuke was very annoyed by Sakura in the early stages, and even after acknowledging her as a teammate, he was mostly cold.
How did they just inexplicably get together?
Sasuke's expression changed slightly, looking a bit awkward.
Tsk!
Seeing his expression, Naruto stopped asking.
The answer was already written on his face, so what else was there to ask?
Sasuke said nonchalantly, "What's there to hide? After the Fourth Shinobi World War, I traveled the Ninja World, and Sakura followed me the whole time."
"You're no different. You were busy getting married and dealing with Konoha Village's affairs, so busy that in the end, you couldn't even take care of your own family."
At this point, Sasuke laughed and said with interest, "It's you, though, completely different from the Naruto I know."
"He is, after all, a very responsible person, with a sense of heroism, but you…"
"You'll live a more comfortable life."
"Of course."
Naruto didn't care at all.
Life is short; enjoy it while you can.
Why make yourself so miserable, suffering when there's no need? How boring.
…
"Konoha Village, it's almost New Year again."
Under a big tree, Naruto looked at the Root ruins in front of him, smiled, and stepped inside.
When he took office, this Root office location was transformed into a different scene.
It was extended to Anbu members, and some important members were also held here.
Like the few who were recently captured.
Konan!
Root has many rooms that can be cleared out for them to live in.
Konan was living in one of these rooms.
There were no overly luxurious decorations, just white walls on all four sides, a bed, a table, and two wooden stools.
It was very simple. Konan sat on a stool, folding paper, and explosive tags were born from her nimble hands.
"You really can sit still."
Naruto pushed the door open and gazed calmly at Konan.
He found her very calm, without any sense of danger.
As for the explosive tags, Naruto believed Konanwas a smart person, and clearly, she was.
Konan had already folded many explosive tags, and the Anbu members had taken them out to sell.
To be fair, the quality of the explosive tags she made was good.
"If I couldn't sit still, could I run away?"
"No!"
"So I never even thought about leaving."
Konan looked coldly at Naruto.
It was this child who had caused all of Akatsuki Organization's plans to fall through.
Terrifying strength, and the problem was he was only twelve, almost thirteen.
Konan knew that Akatsuki Organization no longer had any chance.
"Let me tell you some exciting news: your Nagatohas organized a group of even stronger teammates, allied with the Land of Wind, the Land of Rain, and the Land of Earth, with a massive army pressing down, stirring up the winds and clouds."
Gazing at the shocked Konan, Naruto casually pulled over a wooden stool and sat down, looking at Konan with interest.
"Idiot!"
Konan looked at Naruto in shock, her scalp tingling.
She couldn't understand who in this world could make Nagato confident enough to face a monster like Naruto.
She also couldn't imagine why the Land of Earthwould be so foolish as to join in.
The Land of Wind was easier to understand.
The Kazekage died, his successor also died in Konoha Village, and even Ichibi Shukaku was captured by Naruto.
Sunagakure was truly, in every sense, severely damaged. In such a situation, if they did nothing, it would mean a slow death.
But the Land of Earth…
Konan expressed: It's hard to take.
She probably saw hope.
So who could bring them hope?
Konan felt she shouldn't hope, but hearing the information Naruto spoke, a glimmer of hope still uncontrollably rose in her heart.
"What is your purpose?"
Placing the freshly made explosive tags aside, Konan feigned calmness, her gaze subtly falling on Naruto.
Naruto chuckled, "No purpose, just here to tell you that Nagato is going to die."
Konan suddenly stood up from her chair, looking coldly at Naruto…
