Naruto explained his situation in simple and clear language. After listening carefully, Sasuke finally understood the information he had to believe: the Naruto in front of him was actually Naruto with memories of the future.

Returning to the present with memories from the future? Is this the ability of the Otsutsuki clan? Sasuke pondered cautiously, knowing that there were indeed powerful individuals among the Otsutsuki who could manipulate time.

"You don't need to be wary of me," Naruto saw through his apprehension. "I just want to know why you came to this era, and why it seems to have anything to do with me?"

Sasuke sighed softly. Now he finally understood why the young Naruto's words and actions seemed so familiar. If he regarded the boy before him as the Seventh Hokage from his own timeline, the previous sense of unease and unfamiliarity indeed diminished considerably.

Since the other party has been open and honest, I should also explain my purpose. That would make things much simpler.

After listening to Sasuke's explanation, Naruto understood the situation. In other words, the Otsutsuki aliens he thought wouldn't invade for many more years were coming to capture him now?!

Upon learning this information, Naruto broke out in a cold sweat.

"Therefore, we must all stay by your side until Urashiki attacks, in case he targets Kurama." Sasuke's tone was very serious. "Naruto, you are definitely no match for him right now."

Six Paths level enemies... the Rinnegan is standard equipment, and they also possess Kekkei Genkai-level abilities... This is Naruto's understanding of the Otsutsuki clan based on hearsay. The casual viewers, however, have no clear concept of the Otsutsuki's true strength.

Although Naruto can now use the Nine-Tails' power perfectly, he knows very well that he has not yet obtained the Six Paths power. Facing such a formidable enemy, Naruto feels his chances of victory are slim.

At this moment, Naruto couldn't help but regret not watching Boruto back then. Who would have thought that the anime he watched was actually his past life?

Of course, if Naruto knew Urashiki Otsutsuki's actual performance in Boruto, he probably wouldn't be so worried.

If we consider Sasuke's current strength to be at the level he was at the end of Shippuden... Naruto thinks that he might have to rely on him this time.

"...Oh, right," Sasuke suddenly remembered an important question, "You just said that I'm not the Sasuke of this world...how did you realize that I'm not your version from this timeline?"

Sasuke raised another question. He remembered that Jiraiya had just said that there had been no rogue ninjas defecting recently, which meant that Naruto had stopped the defection of "Uchiha Sasuke" in this world.

"Well..." Naruto's expression became quite interesting, yet subtly revealing anticipation. How could he tell this Sasuke wasn't the "Uchiha Sasuke" of this world? The answer was incredibly simple; anyone with eyes could see it...

"Naruto? Who is this person? Why is he with you?"

A girl's voice, clearly urgent, suddenly came from behind. Sasuke looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl with black hair and black eyes standing not far away, scrutinizing him with wary eyes.

For some reason, the girl gave him a strange sense of familiarity. What surprised him even more was that the girl quickly stepped forward and pulled Naruto behind her right in front of him, her actions carrying an undeniable sense of protection.

To Sasuke, this excessive protectiveness and vigilance seemed rather unusual. From Satsuki's perspective, however, she saw Naruto talking to a suspicious person whose face was completely obscured by clothing, which immediately heightened her alertness.

"Who are you? Why are you following Naruto?" Satsuki's voice was cold, and his eyes were scrutinizing.

"It's nothing... Satsuki," Naruto quickly reassured her, "She's just my target, a surveillance mission Jiraiya-sensei just gave me. Don't worry about me, I have something else to say. If you're concerned, you can keep an eye on her from the side."

What must be faced will eventually have to be faced. Naruto stepped forward again, and with gentle reassurance, Satsuki reluctantly nodded, but her gaze remained fixed on the mysterious person.

"...Um, let me introduce you," Naruto turned to Sasuke, his tone somewhat subtle, "This is...Uchiha Satsuki...she's a girl, so you understand now."

When Satsuki heard Naruto introducing himself to the other person, she didn't have any objections, but she was a little confused by the way he introduced himself. Why did he have to emphasize his gender?

Sasuke Uchiha, who had seemed thoughtful just moments before, suddenly became expressionless after a brief silence.

"...No, I don't quite understand."

Upon hearing this response, Zuo Yue frowned. This guy's attitude was far too rude.

"...You have to learn to accept reality," Naruto advised. "Parallel universes are theoretically possible."

Sasuke Uchiha, expressionless, looked at Satsuki, who stood behind Naruto still wary of him, and said, "You, although this is sudden, could you please introduce yourself?"

"Huh? Why would I do that?" Zuo Yue refused without hesitation.

"...Satsuki, please tell us, okay?" Naruto interjected at the right moment, "Just like when you're assigned to a class or attend the Ninja Academy, your name, favorite food and dislikes, and your dream...that's all."

Satsuki was taken aback for a moment, but since it was Naruto's request, she immediately nodded and turned to Uchiha Sasuke. Although her tone was still cold, she still cooperated and said...

"My name is Uchiha Satsuki. My favorite things are... tomatoes and bonito flakes. I hate very sweet desserts. My dream is... well, I won't go into details..."

By the end, Sasuke's ears had turned slightly red, clearly embarrassed to reveal his dream. Naruto looked at Sasuke and noticed a barely perceptible tremor in his usually expressionless face. It seemed another strong dose of medicine was needed.

"It's alright, Satsuki," Naruto suggested gently, "If you don't want to talk about your dream, you can choose another one, or you can say ambition."

"Huh? Is that so? Okay then." Although she didn't understand why Naruto would make such a suggestion, Satsuki agreed. After thinking about it carefully for a moment, she spoke solemnly.

"I want to revive the Uchiha clan, and then," her voice suddenly turned cold, "I must personally kill one person..."

Although the memory is somewhat distant, when Zuo Yue thought of what that person did back then, her eyes still unconsciously turned into a chilling murderous aura.
