This Naruto is a player

"Haha, Dad, you're too modest!"

Boruto was absolutely certain that it was because his father was too modest that he kept so many good things from him.

He's made up his mind!

After returning home, he became an apprentice of his father and learned so many different ninjutsu techniques!

With so many cool ninjutsu techniques available, Sasuke, who isn't exactly cool, can just take a backseat.

Who is Sasuke?

I don't know him!

Chapter 196 Otsutsuki Crisis

late at night.

The thick darkness enveloped Konoha. Apart from a few lights in the commercial street and streetlights that attracted flying insects, the entire village had fallen asleep.

Inside the large villa, the bright moonlight shone through the windows, illuminating Naruto lying on the bed.

He lay flat on the bed, breathing evenly, clearly asleep.

Suddenly,

Naruto opened his eyes.

"They're here," Naruto murmured.

These past few days, to prevent this alien named Ōtsutsuki Urashiki from raiding his home, he has been sleeping with both eyes open.

One eye is responsible for keeping watch, while the other eye is responsible for standing guard.

I dared not sleep for even a moment!

He even pulled the Nine-Tails from his body out of the training ground.

He originally had a sealing technique that could seal the Nine-Tails' external senses. But these past few days, he's lifted all restrictions and is broadcasting his life live to the Nine-Tails.

This way, he could have the Nine-Tailed Fox keep watch for him.

Just in case I fall asleep and aliens break into my house.

With double insurance, Naruto didn't believe that Otsutsuki Urashiki could steal his house at night.

Naruto was so cautious because he knew nothing about Urashiki Otsutsuki.

That's why we're so prepared for battle.

Who knows what methods aliens, whose database doesn't exist, might use?

If he really dies, wouldn't all those years of nurturing the account have been for nothing?

These past two days, despite his seemingly nonchalant demeanor, his alertness level has actually been at its maximum.

That's because he's always been so timid and cautious!

The result is good.

Before Otsutsuki could arrive, Sasuke came first.

Naruto lay back down and listened carefully to their conversation.

at the same time.

The room next door, the room next door, the room next door.

"Knock knock~~ Boruto! Boruto!" Sasuke gently knocked on the window to wake the sleeping Boruto.

Boruto reluctantly woke up, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he recognized the figure at the window.

"Hmm? Mr. Sasuke?"

Seeing that it was Sasuke, he got out of bed and opened the window from the inside. "Where have you been these past few days?"

Boruto was somewhat puzzled.

Sasuke, however, had no time for idle chatter. For the past two days, a question had been lingering in his mind, and he couldn't eat or sleep until he found out the answer.

"Is that turtle still with you?"

"of course."

Boruto was still a bit dazed, his mind not yet fully clear.

"Hurry up and take it out!"

Although Sasuke's expression remained as expressionless as ever, even Boruto could hear the urgency in his voice.

"Oh, yes, yes."

Boruto quickly grabbed the plow from the bedside table.

Looking at the listless turtle huddled in its shell, Sasuke called out twice, but the turtle didn't respond. He looked up at Boruto and asked, "Has it always been like this?"

Boruto scratched his head, looking helpless. "Ever since it retreated into its shell that day, it hasn't come out again."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke frowned.

It seems unlikely that seeking verification from Li will be possible.

One's own guesses are even more difficult to verify.

Sasuke remained silent, his eyes flickering.

After several days of investigation, he discovered that the world he knew and the ninja world he remembered had changed so much that it was impossible to bridge the gap.

But all of this had already changed before they arrived.

Sasuke wanted to ask Li if this was still their fault.

If they return to their original world, will the future world also change?

Moreover, Sasuke had many, many more questions in his mind.

These past few days, because he couldn't stray too far from Konoha, he could only conduct his investigation within the village.

That's why, in this familiar place, he found so many differences. Tracing back to the source, Sasuke discovered that all these changes had occurred a few years ago.

When that Old Godmother burger shop opened.

He investigated the burger shop thoroughly and found that apart from the delicious taste, there seemed to be no problem.

There's only one possibility—that old, gray-haired godfather killed someone, yet managed to escape his eyes!

But that's absolutely impossible!

Is it

Sasuke was overwhelmed with thoughts.

"Sasuke-san, what happened?"

Boruto was now fully awake.

Sasuke cleared his mind of his chaotic thoughts and glanced at him. The golden hair and the unusually beautiful, azure eyes reflecting the moonlight reminded him of Naruto.

If it were Naruto, we could definitely have a chat.

"nothing."

Finally, he avoided Boruto's gaze and looked out the window.

Sasuke is not going to explain all this to Boruto.

After all, these places are too far removed from Boruto's life; he hasn't even been born yet and isn't familiar with them.

"Oh, right,"

Sasuke turned back to him. "You've been in so much contact with Naruto these past few days, do you know anything about him?"

He's been investigating for the past two days and hasn't paid much attention to Naruto.

Speaking of this, Boruto is no longer sleepy.

"Mr. Sasuke, my father never told me that he was so cool when he was a child! Not only that, I had no idea that he was so powerful and knew so many ninjutsu," Boruto described in detail his observations of Naruto over the past two days.

Sasuke listened silently.

The more he listened, the more alarmed he became.

After seeing that newspaper article, he had actually anticipated Naruto's strength.

But I never really thought that was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Naruto.

After Boruto finished speaking, Sasuke observed Boruto's expression and asked, "It seems you've revealed almost everything about our origins, haven't you?"

"this."

Boruto scratched his head awkwardly, then lowered his head guiltily, avoiding Sasuke's gaze.

A moment later, seeing that Sasuke was still staring at him, Boruto could only stick out his tongue playfully and explain, "Well, what can I do? Dad is just too amazing. He can see right through me with just one look."

"is it?"

Sasuke saw no remorse on Boruto's grinning face, but compared to what he had investigated, it was no longer important.

After getting the answer, Sasuke turned to leave.

"Mr. Sasuke, where are you going?" Boruto asked him, leaning against the window.

Sasuke stopped and glanced back at him; the moonlight made him appear exceptionally mysterious.

"Don't worry, I will observe and protect you secretly."

After saying that, he turned and left, as if he had made up his mind.

After glancing at Sasuke's departing figure, the carefree Boruto shook his head and went back to sleep.

Sasuke, who had just left, was stopped by a figure that was all too familiar to him.

"Sassy!"

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a big smile on his face.

He was actually quite familiar with Sasuke, after all, he had beaten him up many times in the arena.
