From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Sarada turned her gaze away from "Little Daddy," remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"Alright, since Dad has something difficult to say, I won't press you further about what you're doing, but I have one last question!"

As she spoke, Sarada pulled out the photo of the Hawk Squad that she had brought from home from her bag, pointed at the red-haired girl in the picture, and questioned, "Who is this woman? Why is she in a photo with Dad? Why is she wearing the same glasses as me? Dad, please answer me!"

Upon hearing this, the young man, Erzhuzi, remained silent. Facing his daughter's gaze, he did not answer the question immediately, but instead turned his attention to the young Sasuke beside him, staring at him coldly.

The warning it carries is self-evident!

But Sarada felt that her father was avoiding her problems and her gaze.

If that's the case, then he must be feeling guilty and definitely doesn't want "Little Daddy" to translate his words.

Therefore, the unacceptable guess in her heart was no longer a guess, but the truth!

The thought of this overwhelmed me with unbearable sadness, anger, and resentment.

In an instant, Sarada felt as if the sky had collapsed, waves of dizziness washed over her, and her body felt utterly powerless.

"In that case, I'll be going!"

Sarada screamed and used all her strength to push away her father and Naruto. Then she ran to young Sasuke, grabbed his hand, and tried to leave this place that made her so sad.

Sasuke: "???"

Sasuke was completely bewildered. What does this have to do with me?

However, seeing the little girl crying so hard, Sasuke thought for a moment and then let Sarada pull him away, leaving behind a single sentence.

"I'll go see her."

Upon seeing this, the young man Erzhu's face instantly darkened. He clenched his fist, but in the end, he relaxed it and said nothing.

He was even more unhappy with his so-called other self in another world!

For a moment, the air seemed to be filled with a strong lemony smell.

Chapter 256 I believe in him, because of you!

Inside the ruins.

The young Erzhu fell silent.

Looking at his best friend, even though he was slow to react, the Seventh Hokage could sense the young Hashirama's displeasure. The air seemed to be filled with a strong, sour smell.

After turning his head for a moment, the Seventh Hokage Naruto coughed lightly, breaking the silence first.

"Sasuke, why don't you go and see? When this little girl gets angry, it can last a long time, and she's hard to appease."

"..."

Young Erzhu felt a headache coming on. He had never seen this daughter before, and had no experience in taking care of a child.

Faced with this situation, he even felt that it would be easier to fight Kaguya Otsutsuki again.

What made the young man Erzhu even more upset was that it was clearly his own daughter.

But Sarada's behavior made it seem like she was treating that guy like a father.

The young man, Erzhu, closed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Let that guy handle it!"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Naruto chuckled and teased, "It seems, Sasuke, you still have a lot of faith in your other self from another world."

"Humph!"

The young man Erzhu's face was somewhat unpleasant. He forced a smile and said, "It's just that which guy is stronger. Sarada shouldn't be in danger if he's on his side."

"That's true, but he's Sasuke from another timeline. You are Sasuke from this world, Sarada's biological father."

The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, shook his head, patted the young Sasuke on the shoulder, and gently advised, "Since you are father and daughter, you should communicate and exchange ideas more. Otherwise, once Sarada starts to rely on Sasuke, you will only be able to regret it in secret."

“I think there are some things that I need to explain to your daughter, such as why you are not going back to the village.”

"cut!"

Young Erzhu felt a strange unease, but on the surface he remained expressionless, shook his head, and said calmly, "There's no need."

"You're still as stubborn as ever. You care so much, but you won't show it at all."

Seeing this, the Seventh Naruto shook his head, knowing his best friend's personality well, and did not try to persuade him any further.

"Even if I tell Sarada, it will only make her worry for nothing."

Young Erzhu glanced at his best friend and said:

"About Kaguya Otsutsuki, about the enemies she feared, about me... these things are enough for you and me to know, and for us to bear them together. Let our next generation live in a peaceful and carefree environment; that is our responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Naruto remained silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "As expected of you, Sasuke."

"However, I told Sasuke about Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu when I was on the way."

"You're still the same old you, acting without thinking. You just so easily told him such important information."

Young Erzhu frowned and said in a deep voice, "Judging from his current age, he should be in the period when I was training under Orochimaru. At that time, I was blinded by hatred."

At this point, the young man Erzhu paused for a moment.

Thinking of the eternal kaleidoscope in that guy's eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and heavy-hearted.

Since he possesses the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, it means that Itachi Uchiha from another world has already died at his hands.

Although the young Erzhu found it strange that the Eternal Kaleidoscope pattern was slightly different from his own.

But he didn't take it to heart, simply considering it a difference arising from parallel worlds.

After all, that guy was able to awaken the Kaleidoscope three years ahead of schedule and transplant the Eternal Kaleidoscope.

The two kaleidoscopes have slightly different patterns, but that's not something that's hard to accept.

"Judging from his words, he was not as trapped in hatred and darkness as you were at that time."

The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, picked up where the young Sasuke left off, speaking casually.

The young man, Erzhu, said expressionlessly, "Perhaps that guy is hiding too well, and you just can't tell!"

"It seems you don't really like your other self, Sasuke."

The Seventh Naruto chuckled and said, "I think it's best to tell him the whole truth. Didn't you once walk alone in the darkness because you didn't know the truth, and eventually your eyes were blinded by hatred? Since that's the case, don't hide anything from Sasuke in the other world."

"Furthermore, by telling him the truth about Kaguya Otsutsuki, we can help them prepare for future crises and give that world more hope."

"........"

The young man, Erzhu, was momentarily speechless. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Even if he knows the truth, he might not react the same way I do. Aren't you worried he might destroy Konoha in another world? You know, he's very strong now. Aren't you worried about him...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Seventh Naruto interrupted him in a casual tone.

I believe him!

Upon hearing this, the young man, Sasuke, frowned, turned to look at Naruto, and asked with some surprise, "You trust him that much? Why?"

"Because he's also Uchiha Sasuke, Sasuke."

The Seventh Naruto smiled slightly, his clear blue eyes looking at the two Sasukes with amusement and sincerity, and replied in a relaxed tone: "To be more precise, it's about believing in you. Since he is Uchiha Sasuke, then I will choose to believe in him unconditionally."

"......"

Looking at his best friend's bright smile and sincere eyes, the young man Erzhu was stunned for a moment, and memories of the two of them together came flooding back.

Even though I once plunged headlong into darkness and hatred.

At that time, he was clamoring to destroy Konoha, and he was hopelessly addicted to revenge.

His companions, classmates, friends, even his mentor Kakashi and his lover Sakura all abandoned him.

Only his closest friend had never given up on him, always believing in him and that he could see the error of his ways.

Thinking of this, a strange feeling stirred in the young man Erzhu's heart.

"Humph!"

Young Erzhu turned his face to the side, snorted coldly, and said coldly, "Since you trust that guy so much, you can tell him whatever you want, or help him whatever you want. I have nothing to say."

"but...."

Young Erzhu paused for a moment, then changed the subject, his tone still icy as he said, "That guy isn't from this world after all. Take him and get out of here quickly, this place doesn't belong to him."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Naruto chuckled, knowing that his best friend was upset about Sarada's situation and was somewhat displeased with the other Sasuke.

"ok, ok, I got it."

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

"Waaaaaah..."

Sarada buried her head in Sasuke's chest and cried, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had suffered from her father onto her "little dad."

Sasuke sighed inwardly, a hint of helplessness on his face.

I've been in this world for a day now, and I haven't accomplished any of my goals, or even started taking action yet.

Instead, she's been taking care of the kids all along, and she's even helping another Uchiha Sasuke take care of his kids.

"Why? Why?"

After venting for a while, Sarada looked up at her "little dad" and asked, wanting an answer from him.

"Why is Dad so cold? We're father and daughter, why does he treat me like this?"

Upon hearing this, Sasuke remained silent for a moment, a complex look flashing in his eyes, before slowly saying, "Because he has now become someone else, Sarada."

Sarada was taken aback, and murmured, "Live like someone else?"

"Hmm." Sasuke nodded and said softly, "The person I used to be was also used to carrying everything on his shoulders, used to pushing away those close to him, choosing to walk alone and bear everything."

"He inherited his will and has now become his appearance. However, he is a little luckier than him. At least he still has Naruto Uzumaki fighting alongside him. He will not make mistakes because of momentary confusion, because he has Naruto Uzumaki by his side."

"But he wasn't so lucky. His close friends and confidants died early, leaving him all alone, which led him to do some extreme things that he thought were right."

Sasuke's numerous "him" and "him" combinations were practically making Sarada's little head spin.

However, Sarada still grasped the key point and asked, "Little Daddy, who is he you're talking about?"

"Let your father tell you about his identity, his story, everything about him. I am not qualified to do so."

Sasuke shook his head, not answering Sarada's question, but a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips.
