Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 371 Let's Make a Deal

"Uncle Yun, can the past be changed?"

"what you think?"

"That's why I asked you... →_→"

"Essential facts cannot be changed, but facts that are not yet certain can be changed."

Boruto: "???"

Looking at the two little devils being brutally beaten in the distance, the future Yun looked at her past self.

"You must be wondering about this too, right?"

"Out of trust in Uchiha Kumo, and also out of some helplessness, you agreed to my arrangement."

Yun shrugged: "No one in Konoha can limit Urashiki Otsutsuki's abilities, and neither can I at this stage. The only thing I can do is open the Death Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, using decisive speed and power to render all his survival abilities ineffective."

The future Yun smiled: "That's true. But with such a technique, the entire Hidden Leaf Village will be destroyed by your final blow. The only way to revive would probably be through the Samsara Rebirth Technique."

"Shikaku actually knew very well, but he had no choice either. He didn't know about the Reincarnation Technique, so he could only choose to believe. If that didn't work, he would have to fight."

After a moment of silence.

Yun glanced at the two disciples being beaten in the distance, then asked, "Was all of this within your expectations?"

"hehe……"

The laughter made Yun's eye twitch: "Can you stop laughing like that? You know you're asking for a beating?"

Yun Hui from the future replied, "I said the same thing twenty years ago. It was then that I realized how annoying my sarcastic laughter was."

???

Yun was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was the answer.

None of this was what he expected; rather, it was something he had already experienced.

The future and the past will inevitably form a closed loop. In the original story, Sasuke sealing Jiraiya and Naruto's memories was one method, and the current situation is also a method.

The experience of reverting to the past creates a closed loop between the past and the future.

"But... a lot of people know about Boruto's existence!"

"Boruto? Who knows his name is Boruto? Twenty years can make a person's appearance gradually fade in memory. Minato and Kushina wouldn't say it, and Naruto and Hinata don't know that Boruto is their son."

"Can……"

"Shikamaru also remembered it, and even mentioned it to Naruto twenty years later. But... does that have any impact?"

Yun remembered; the other person was referring to the original work from her memory.

After Sasuke brought Boruto back, at the end Naruto said that Shikamaru remembered some things and had mentioned that such a person existed.

"Those who play with time will eventually be played by time. I did nothing in the past month or so, I just let Boruto play according to his memories. What he does is already predetermined in the past."

As Yun looked towards the distant Otsutsuki Urashiki, he said, "He understands this principle now as well. Every attack seems to be able to kill the opponent, but every time it always falls just short."

"What you can't do in the future, you can't do in the past either. There's no reason why, because time is something you can't manipulate. The Noble Phantasm Plow is just a manifestation of divine power."

god?

Yun frowned.

The god here is not the god that Nagato claimed to be just because he had a pair of Rinnegan.

Although I haven't finished watching Boruto, I did come across many short videos speculating about it, including many theories about the Otsutsuki god.

A novel, a comic, or an anime will inevitably contain elements that are difficult to reconcile with their own explanations for various reasons.

Take Boruto for example. At the beginning, because it was obvious that they wanted to change the main characters, Naruto and Sasuke's fighting power was reduced again and again.

But reality is different...

Because reality... always has an explanation.

As he was pondering this, Future Cloud smiled and looked at Boruto, saying, "You've already seen your dad's battle with Sasuke. You still have half a month to stay."

Reaching out, he grabbed Boruto and threw him into the spatial passage. Instantly, the future Yun vanished from the spot.

……

Meanwhile, Sasuke, who had once again narrowly escaped death, was saved by Naruto.

At this moment, Kurama Mode was on the verge of collapse, and blood and tears kept falling from Sasuke's eyes.

Despite his terrible condition, Urashiki Otsutsuki, who was suspended in mid-air, came to a stop.

The eagerness to attack that he had shown earlier was gone, and it was clear that his probing had yielded results.

"Hehehe..."

A soft laugh rang out, and Urashiki whispered, "So I guessed right... It's impossible to achieve a goal without forming a closed loop, as if the whole world is rejecting such an outcome."

Naruto and Sasuke below stood up again. They couldn't understand what the other was saying, but this was not the time to be distracted.

Sasuke, who was holding a long sword on guard, suddenly found that his vision was doubled.

I've used the Kaleidoscope's eye technique too much, and my eyesight has started to decline noticeably.

Damn it, of all times!

The other party was clearly targeting him and Naruto, but compared to Naruto, he had become a burden.

In an instant, his initial attitude of giving up was overtaken by his pride.

Even with Brother Yun around, the world will still not be peaceful. Such a powerful enemy makes even Brother Yun hesitant.

"Naruto."

"Um?"

"I will unleash Susanoo at full power in a moment. Use the remaining time with the Nine-Tails' chakra to run as far as you can."

Sasuke's voice was somewhat low: "Brother Yun's eye technique has the ability to traverse space; he'll find this place soon. Use Kurama's sensory abilities to stall until reinforcements arrive."

Naruto was stunned for a moment: "What nonsense are you talking about? I..."

"listen to me!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke's roar cut him off: "We can't beat this guy, there's no doubt about that. And this isn't Brother Yun's genjutsu; one of us must survive!"

"Given the opponent's ability to absorb ninjutsu, it's clear that the Nine-Tails' chakra is also a target. If you die here, by the time Brother Yun arrives, the enemy you face might be more than twice as strong!"

After a calm analysis, Naruto still did not agree.

At that moment, a figure appeared behind the two.

"If you lack strength, try to make up for it with your own combat power. But this is the result of your so-called arrogance."

"Since Susanoo cannot form its final form, its coordination with Naruto's Kurama Mode cannot be perfect."

The future cloud reached out and grabbed the two little devils: "Leave the rest to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto and Sasuke were thrown into the spatial portal and returned to Konoha.

The goal of stimulating the kids' mentality has been achieved; now it's time for what's truly needed here.

……

Urashiki laughed from mid-air: "So, you're finally ready to kill me?"

Future Cloud shook his head slightly: "Not really. After all, you've just paved the way for your escape route. Making a deal now is a sure thing."

transaction?

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki asked, "You think I would make a deal with you? You're just a native of this planet, what makes you think you're worthy of making a deal with a god?"

The future cloud smiled: "Before this, I cured someone who also considered himself a god every day. I believe you are the same, after all, the longer you live, the more afraid you are of death, right?"

A backup plan was prepared, a deal was made, and there was a fear of death...

In an instant, Urashiki's expression changed.

"You bastard! How did you know?!"

The next moment, with the flapping of its wings, the red light in Urashiki's hand crashed down.

"boom!"

The sand dunes were blown up, but the clouds of the future appeared behind Urashiki.

A powerful kick!

"Whoosh!"

"boom……"

In the repeated periods of time, Urashiki was unable to avoid this attack once.

The next moment, he was kicked directly into the sand and gravel.

"Whoosh!"

Urashiki leaped into the air once more, his speed and power surging, still wanting to test his strength.

Just like Sasuke was being beaten up repeatedly, every time Urashiki launched a surprise attack, he was pushed back, regardless of his abilities, only by his basic speed and strength.

"asshole!!!"

Once again, Urashiki Otsutsuki was stomped to the ground.

A powerful burst of chakra sent layers of sand flying up from beneath the Urashiki's feet, but each attempt to escape the foot was met with relentless crushing.

After devouring the fish basket and its own eyes, the increase in power weakened and rendered its original ability to survive unusable.

"I can destroy the resurrection method you left behind at any time. In that case, you would truly be dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Urashiki Otsutsuki, who was standing at his feet, went completely still.

After a long pause, Pu Shi said in a deep voice, "Get your foot off me! You ant!"

Faced with a contestant who was still stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, Future Cloud raised his foot.

The next moment, Urashiki, who had escaped, did not run away. He knew very well that he could not escape from such an enemy.

"How did you know? What exactly do you want to do?"

The future cloud replied, "You already know the rules about traveling back in time, but you don't know the rules for the next twenty years."

"The thing you resurrected is the same as that Momoshiki, right? The mark in Boruto's palm contains the power of the Otsutsuki."

"Having understood the rules of time travel, you will inevitably prepare to be truly resurrected when you leave twenty years from now, because this will create a closed loop."

"But to face death after resurrection, how do you feel about this ending?"

"boom!!!"

A violent surge of chakra caused the surrounding sand to boil.

However, in front of Uchiha Kumo, the sand lost its kinetic energy and fell directly to the ground.

"I really want to kill you, you bastard, you native!"

Future Cloud shrugged: "I also want to kill you. Besides, you should be aware of your situation... At least, you might be better off than Momoshiki."

Better?

Pu jumped up and down, cursing, "Twenty years in jail! What am I supposed to do? Get out and be killed by an ant like you?"

After he finished speaking, Urashiki was stunned for a moment.

Then there was no movement for a long time.

After a long pause, Urashiki looked up and asked, "What kind of deal do you want to make?"

The future Yun chuckled and then said, "I'll use your life as a bargaining chip, and the chip will be something I replicate from you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pu Shi understood.

The golden eyes looked into the distance: "So this is the closed loop you planned... That guy has reached a certain level, but he's still lacking something."

"Whoosh."

The cloud, which appeared in an instant, glanced at the two of them and then asked, "You've agreed?"

Yun from the future replied, "He fears utter death, so he will inevitably agree."

Urashiki, on the other side, then asked, "How can you guarantee you'll let me go?"

Yun looked over and said, "You must be very curious about the source of my power. You'll understand in half a month. A contract can form a binding force that neither you nor I can break."

Yun nodded in the future: "You'll know the specifics in half a month. Until then, I'll stay here and watch over you. After the transaction is completed, I won't touch your backup plan. You should have your own confidence in what the future holds."

Pu Shi scoffed, "As long as you don't interfere, I can truly be resurrected. He's just a native of a planet; he can't resist."

After receiving the reply, the future cloud looked at its present self: "I've handed over the things to you. Now I need to know some things that haven't formed a closed loop."

???

Yun was stunned. Was this a way of telling her to leave?

He shrugged, his six-tomoe Rinnegan slowly opened a passage, and then he left this alternate dimension.

The information revealed in the following conversation was something that his future self had never heard of, so he couldn't hear it now either.

……

In the alternate dimension of Yomotsu Hirasaka, only two people from the future remain.

"Does a god truly exist within the Ōtsutsuki clan?"

"Ha... To you natives, I am a god!"

"Snapped!"

He slapped him away, and the future cloud came back to Urashiki's side.

The conversation continued.

"Once you possess chakra, a ninja has already surpassed the level of an ordinary person. And at my level, I have clearly surpassed the level of a ninja."

"You should understand that I'm not talking about self-proclaimed god, but about truly reaching another level, the so-called Otsutsuki god."

Urashiki, having been slapped, clearly learned a lesson: when facing someone with a bigger fist, thinking yourself a god is useless; you'll still get beaten up.

"exist!"

"According to some records within the clan, there were indeed people in the Otsutsuki clan who reached another level of life, and those were the true gods."

Urashiki continued in a deep voice, "No one knows the extent of that being's power, but the mere record of its divine arts is already terrifying."

At this point, Urashiki looked at the clouds in the future and revealed a mocking smile.

"Under divine magic, your power just now couldn't cause any damage at all. Or do you think you obtained the Noble Phantasm's ability to travel through time and space?"

and many more!

Urashiki, who had just finished speaking, froze on the spot. In that instant, he thought of many things, things that had been subtly changed.

Time travel... This kind of treasure that can confuse one's own perception is definitely not that simple.

Was I changed from the moment I returned to the past?
