Chapter 188 What is your mother's surname?

Let's move forward a little bit.

On a rooftop, Sasuke Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki, who had traveled from another era, had just figured out their current situation.

Due to an accident, the two of them followed in the footsteps of Urashiki Otsutsuki and traveled back to Naruto's childhood.

Urashiki's goal was to take advantage of Naruto's young age and weak strength to steal the Nine-Tails' chakra from him.

Sasuke and Boruto, on the other hand, were transported here by accident along with Urashiki.

The two of them learned from the tortoise that Urashiki would arrive in this time and space in a few days.

"So, our goal now is to protect Dad. Hmm, the Dad when he was little, so that he doesn't get caught by Urashiki?" Boruto quickly understood the situation.

“That’s right.” Sasuke nodded.

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

Boruto was somewhat excited as he looked at the four portraits on the Hokage Rock.

If I were to travel back in time to this era, what would my father be like?
How old?

What does it look like?
Is there anyone stronger than myself?
Wow! I'm really looking forward to it!

"Let's go!"

With a shout, Sasuke jumped down, and Boruto followed suit.

The two walked aimlessly along the road, and Boruto couldn't help but shout and yell along the way.

"This is such a strange feeling. Is this what Konoha used to be like?"

Boruto looked around curiously, his eyes darting about, unable to keep up with all the sights.

It's a completely different feeling. Is this the Konoha I was born in?
So retro!

and many more.

Suddenly spotting something, Boruto exclaimed excitedly, "Is this the old Ichiraku Ramen? The shop is so small!"

His naive and unworldly demeanor drew the attention of those around him.

Fortunately.

Because of Konoha's thriving tourism industry, passersby are already used to it.

Sasuke, however, couldn't stand it any longer.

If this continues, they will be discovered sooner or later.

"Quiet down, Boruto!"

"Well, there's no way around it," Boruto said, scratching the back of his head. "It's just too interesting."

goooo~
Feeling hungry, Boruto suggested, "How about we go get some of this era's 'Ray Burger'?"

"How could such a thing exist?"

"Look, isn't that a hamburger?" Boruto suddenly pointed to a spot not far behind Sasuke.

"what?"

Sasuke turned around and saw a shop with a huge, colorful advertisement for hamburgers, fried chicken legs, fries, and other snacks at the entrance.

Judging from the name, this burger isn't called "Lei Burger," but rather "Old Godfather Burger"!
"Where did this hamburger come from?" Now it was Sasuke's turn to be puzzled.

Did a hamburger shop open in Konoha during the years he was away?

Hmm. Sasuke pondered.

possible!
With this, Sasuke roughly determined the current timeframe, which must be within the few years that he defected from Konoha.

Otherwise, where did this burger shop come from?

"Time for a burger!"

Upon seeing his favorite hamburger, Boruto immediately ran over to it.

Sasuke had no choice but to follow.

Five minutes later, in some unknown alley.

Sasuke and Boruto were walking down the street, eating hamburgers and drinking milk tea.

"The Old Godfather burger is so delicious!" Boruto swallowed the last burger cleanly and exclaimed with utmost sincerity.

Sasuke glanced at him but said nothing.

"Mr. Sasuke, why would the less tasty Lei Burger replace the better-tasting 'Old Godfather Burger' in the future?"

Sasuke didn't know.

He'd never even heard of Old Godfather burgers, so how would he know why?
"besides."

Boruto held up the milk tea he was drinking, looking very curious. "This milk tea is so delicious, why did it disappear in the future?"

Sasuke was even more unable to answer this question.

"Never mind that,"

Sasuke abruptly changed the subject, "We need to find Naruto as soon as possible!"

ummm
Boruto casually tossed the trash into the trash can.

"By the way, Mr. Sasuke, don't you have any clue about Dad's location?"

Sasuke looked up; he knew the answer to this question.

"In this day and age, he's either at home or at Yile just now."

"is it?"

"Ok!"

Sasuke nodded; in his memory, Naruto was just like that.

Suddenly, both of them turned their gazes forward.

The first Uchiha Sakura walking towards us—no, she's still called Haruno Sakura now.

"Wait, could this be Aunt Sakura?" Boruto asked earnestly, looking at the familiar hair color and face.

"Sakura? This is bad."

Sasuke clearly has no intention of facing Sakura from this era.

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask you something." Facing a familiar person, Boruto waved and stepped forward, wanting to ask the question that had been on his mind.

Thankfully, Sasuke immediately covered his mouth. "What do you want to do?"

"Of course we should ask Aunt Sakura where Daddy is!" Boruto said matter-of-factly.

"We must proceed with caution!"

Remembering what the tortoise said earlier, we should not have any impact on the world, avoid creating a butterfly effect, and thus avoid serious consequences.

Therefore, Sasuke does not want to interact with the people of this world.

"Excuse me, are you calling me?"

"That's it"

Boruto tried to explain, but Sasuke interrupted him, saying, "It's okay, we made a mistake."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Boruto and turned to leave.

"Ok?"

Sakura is a bit strange, an oddball!

The situation was even more peculiar as Naruto concealed his presence in a tree not far away.

He came through the Flying Thunder God technique and was initially observing the two of them.

This pair is a bit strange, one big and one small, I've never seen them before, but they look kind of familiar.

and many more!

Naruto suddenly remembered.

Inside the dueling arena, Uchiha Sasuke (Around the World, 32 years old) looks exactly like the tallest member of this group.

And this chakra
Isn't that Sasuke himself?

Listen to their conversation just now, mentioning things like "Aunt Sakura." Could these two be from the future?
Naruto was confused. Could it be that there were other ninjutsu or tools in this world that could allow one to travel through time?
We must get our hands on it!
The prerequisite is to figure out the identities of the two people.

Now that the adult's identity was confirmed, Naruto was even more curious about the identity of the child from earlier.

With his blond hair and blue eyes, the more Naruto looked at him, the more he felt that this guy looked so much like him.

Especially the chakra within that kid's body.

Upon closer inspection, Naruto discovered that the chakra was surprisingly close to him.

It seems there's only one possibility left.

I'm a dad?
Naruto was a little speechless. He was still Xiao Chunan and didn't even have a girlfriend. How did his grown son suddenly appear?
"No, I need to confirm this!"

Another place.

In a deserted alley, Sasuke is giving advice to Boruto, who doesn't understand this era.

"We know too many people in the village, so we need to think twice before we act."

Boruto retorted, "But Mr. Sasuke, since we're supposed to protect our father from when he was a child..."

"Hey! You two."

Boruto was interrupted by another voice before he could finish speaking.

The two of them looked over at the same time.

On the high wall next to them, Naruto was striking a cool pose.

"Huh? Dad?"

Boruto yelled.

He recognized his father at a glance, and his curious gaze couldn't help but scrutinize Naruto from head to toe.

This trench coat, this style, and this handsome face.

Was my dad really this cool when I was a kid?
He's way more handsome than my overworked Hokage father!

Kaku-i!!

Sasuke felt mostly helpless at this moment.

I didn't intend to have much contact with this world, but I still ended up meeting Naruto.

However, he was also a little curious.

Why have I never seen Naruto wear this outfit?
And that aura.
It's quite different from what I remember.

"dad?"

Naruto jumped down beside them, asking, "Who's your dad?"

"Oops!"

Boruto realized he had spoken too quickly and immediately covered his mouth, but Sasuke stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Sorry, he mistook me for someone else."

"is it?"

Naruto feigned suspicion, staring at the two of them like a scanning instrument, looking them up and down.

The younger one seems quick-witted and easy to deal with; you can get a lot of information from him.

This big Sasuke has a tight mouth.

He absolutely had to get the information about the future!

Naruto glanced at Sasuke again, and an idea formed in his mind.

"You look a bit unfamiliar, where are you from?"

"We. We"

Faced with such a young father, Boruto suddenly felt a sense of pressure. He kept asking us questions, but couldn't answer them.

Sasuke then pulled out his prepared excuse: "We're street performers! We're street performers, traveling from place to place."

"Oh? A street performer?"

To prove his point, Sasuke took out a red sphere from his person.

"Look!"

He tossed it into the air.

bang~
The sphere burst open, and colorful ribbons, pieces of paper, and flower fragments floated out from inside.

"Ah."

Naruto reluctantly agreed with this statement, saying, "Very well, but your identities are a bit suspicious."

"As the leader of Root, I hope you two will cooperate with my investigation!"

"The roots?"

This time, Sasuke could no longer maintain his composure and exclaimed in surprise.

Root?

How could it be the root?
After observing, Sasuke determined that Naruto in front of him was no more than 16 years old, while that old man Danzo was still alive before Naruto turned 16.

How could we possibly let someone else take over the root?
Should Naruto take over?

In my memory, where did Naruto ever become the leader of Root?

A lie? A prank?

Sasuke carefully examined Naruto in front of him, noticing his confident demeanor and the handsome face that came with his mysterious aura.

Naruto, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you!

This doesn't seem to be Naruto!

Moreover, the strange feeling that had been lingering around Sasuke since the beginning of the incident continued to haunt him.

Sasuke finally made up his mind; he was determined to investigate this matter thoroughly!
"Um... I'm sorry."

Sasuke suddenly apologized, and at the same time patted Boruto on the shoulder, "Let him go with you to investigate first, I have something to do."

Before he could finish speaking, he vanished in a flash.

"Mr. Sasuke."

Boruto called out softly, but Sasuke had already vanished.

Family members, who knows!
Uncle Sasuke actually let him be alone with his stepfather.

This young dad's eyes are so fierce, I feel so much pressure!

Boruto finally felt the pressure from his father, something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"have they gone?"

Naruto sighed as he glanced at Sasuke's departing figure.

run?
Can one transcend their own perception?

Naruto looked at Boruto with his blue eyes, "It seems you're the only one left. From now on, I'll investigate you thoroughly."

Boruto looked utterly rejected.

He vividly remembered Sasuke's advice: Don't have too much contact with this world.

"You just called me 'Dad'? Who is your dad? What's his name?"

Boruto shook his head. "I can't tell you!"

Aren't you going to tell me?
Are they afraid? Or are they afraid of the butterfly effect?
Naruto decided to change the question. His eyes were incredibly serious, which made Boruto feel a lot of pressure.

Mom, save me!

Seemingly hearing Boruto's inner voice, Naruto's next question was about his mother.

Who is your mother?

Worried that Boruto might not dare to answer, Naruto quickly switched to an even more ambiguous question.

"Or rather, what's your mother's surname?"
