His gaze turned serious, and he said solemnly:

"Things about Boruto, judging by the timeline, have been happening quite recently. What are your plans?"

Yuzuki looked bewildered: "What about Boruto?"

"You didn't know?" Sasuke looked surprised.

Yuzuki was increasingly confused: "What do I know? Please, can't you just say it directly? Why do you have to play these riddles?"

At this moment, Sasuke glanced at Naruto and Sakura beside him, then suddenly revealed a mysterious expression and pulled Yuuki to switch places.

This left Naruto completely bewildered. He hadn't expected that even his best friend would keep it from him.

After walking a distance, Sasuke approached Yuuki and lowered his voice, saying, "I'm referring to the fact that Boruto and I traveled back to the present together. I don't believe you didn't know."

Yuzuki suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "Oh, so that's what you meant..."

"So you know that, don't you!"

"Yes, I know."

"So what do you plan to do?" Sasuke asked in a deep voice.

"Let nature take its course," Youyue replied calmly with a slight smile.

Sasuke choked for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Let nature take its course?"

The thought of what expression his past self might have when he saw the present Konoha sent chills down Sasuke's spine.

"Do I really not need to go out and hide for a while? After all, in the original timeline, I would have already defected at this point."

"If the two of us were to meet, there would probably be unpredictable consequences."

Sasuke asked with a serious expression.

"What are you hiding for? You can hide, but can Itachi hide? Can Shisui hide? Are Fugaku and Mikoto going out with us too?"

"Even if you all leave, do you think the rest of your Uchiha clan can escape?"

Yuyue spread her hands, looking helpless.

Sasuke was speechless for a moment, realizing that what he said seemed to make sense.

"Alright, instead of wasting time overthinking, why don't we take Sakura and Xiangling out for some fun?"

Yuuki patted Sasuke on the shoulder, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes, before turning her gaze to Sakura, who was craning her neck and looking in their direction not far away.

Sasuke curled his lip. "You think I'm like you?"

"Others see 'emptiness is form,' but you see 'form whenever there is emptiness.'"

"How dare you!"

"How dare you slander me like this? Are you trying to destroy me, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Yu Yue was furious; he was about to unleash divine punishment.

"Yuzuki, Sasuke, what mysterious things are you two talking about again?"

Seeing that they were no longer lowering their voices, Naruto knew that their conversation was over, so he walked over curiously.

"Sakura, let's go."

Sasuke snorted, took Sakura's hand, and left.

"Um... I'm sorry, we'll be going now." Sakura waved her hand apologetically.

"Tch, and you're the one talking about me, you brat."

Watching the two figures walk further and further away, Youyue crossed her arms and revealed a faint smile.

Time slowly passed...

Finally, one day, an anomaly occurred.

Somewhere in Konoha...

"Ah ah ah ah..."

A piercing scream tore through the sky as two figures plummeted from the heavens.

The adult Sasuke landed gracefully and steadily, while Boruto Uzumaki next to him fell heavily headfirst into the air.

His head slammed directly onto the ground.

"Ouch……"

An adult assistant reached out and pulled him up: "Are you alright?"

"Well, it seems there's something I need to discuss, Mr. Sasuke..."

Boruto's head was tilted to one side, unable to turn, and his expression was both painful and comical.

"Bear with it."

The adult Sasuke pressed down on his head, twisted it hard, and helped him put it back in place.

Boruto cried out in pain, but he soon found himself seemingly back to normal.

"Wow, this technique is truly amazing, Mr. Sasuke."

Boruto shook his neck excitedly, showing a curiosity that he had never seen before.

Suddenly, there was a snapping sound, and his neck was stuck again.

"Uh... I'll help you one more time, Mr. Sasuke."

The adult Sasuke sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Even if he were cured like that, he'd still be drooling. I really don't know how Naruto's personality could be passed down like this.

........................

"Only the faces of four Hokage are visible on the Hokage Rock..."

We've gone back in time!

Boruto stared at the magnificent sight before him, his eyes filled with awe.

"Is this the era of Tsunade's rule?"

The adult Sasuke's eyes fell into deep thought, as if recalling a distant memory.

"The time travel mission is complete, although some deviations occurred."

The pink turtle in Boruto's hand spoke.

It is the precious secret treasure of the Otsutsuki clan, the Plow.

Next, Li began to explain the important rules that needed to be followed when traveling through time.

First rule: Do not reveal anything about future events to any individual in the past;

Secondary condition: It is also impossible to change the future trajectory by modifying history.

After listening to Li's detailed explanation of the course of action after the transmigration, the adult Sasuke couldn't help but sneer.

"Urashiki was all talk about taking on Naruto, and I thought he would choose to challenge him head-on for the final showdown."

"I never expected them to use this method..."

"To actually make a fuss about Naruto's childhood, really—"

Although he hadn't finished speaking, the disdain in his eyes had already revealed the attitude he wanted to express.

Boruto was also full of resentment about this situation: "This guy is just too despicable and insidious!"

"Fortunately, we arrived here before them. Now all we need to do is find Dad and protect him, right, Mr. Sasuke?"

"Okay, let's go."

With Sasuke's agreement, the two set off together towards the bustling village of Konoha.

After disguising themselves, they entered the bustling and lively Konoha district.

As Boruto walked through it, he was captivated by the dazzling array of sights around him and couldn't help but look around.

"Wow, the village was already so prosperous back then."

Suddenly, Boruto's attention was drawn to a stall that played a fruit-slicing game. The owner was throwing fruit into the air from the backstage, and the players would then chop it up.

Cutting a certain number of fruits will also earn you generous rewards.

Boruto noticed that the first prize at this booth was a red swirling mask, which looked really cool.

In contrast, Sasuke's expression grew increasingly serious.

"Something's not right... Logically, the Chunin Exams should have just ended recently, and the Konoha Crush should be less than a month away from completion..."

"Konoha has suffered heavy losses; shouldn't this be a time of desolation and bleakness?"

Why are there still so many people coming and going on the street?

This confusion made Boruto notice his unusual behavior.

"Mr. Sasuke, what's wrong? You don't seem very happy."

"It's alright, let's go."

After hesitating for a moment, Sasuke still chose to continue forward, but the question in his heart remained unresolved for a long time.

After all, he had already left the village by then and had not personally witnessed the baptism and transformation that the village underwent during that special period.

Perhaps the residents here are born with an extraordinary ability to adapt, and it is not impossible that they can quickly emerge from the shadows and restore normal life in a short period of time.

Seeing that Sasuke's mood had improved, Boruto was able to immerse himself once again in the warmth of the everyday life around him.

As they were weaving through the crowd, a passerby suddenly made the adult Sasuke stop in his tracks.

He stared wide-eyed, incredulously at the clearly visible tribal emblem on the man's back.

A young man bearing the Uchiha clan crest was walking slowly by.

Sasuke called out to the other person without hesitation.

At this point, only he and Itachi Uchiha remained as the last bloodline of the Uchiha clan. What exactly was this person all about?

"What's wrong, sir?"
