Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

However, Neji's face had turned completely gloomy.

He naturally knew what Shimura Taro wanted to say.

The question is simply why Orochimaru wiped out the entire Shimura clan, but only killed the main branch of the Hyuga clan, instead of destroying the entire Hyuga clan.

This made Shimura Taro feel that it was unfair.

Clearly, Shimura Taro's mentality has become so distorted.

If they weren't longtime partners or even teammates, Shimura Taro would probably have spoken recklessly and even hurled insults at him long ago.

"Humph."

Neji's expression was grim, but he chose not to provoke Shimura Taro any further.

Sasuke remained silent, suddenly feeling how pitiful Shimura Taro was.

Deep down, they probably felt pity for their former partner.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to freeze.

However, no one noticed that Sasuke's eyes, which were approaching, were filled with utter horror!

"Itachi is dead..."

Was the person who killed them Uchiha Tsukuyomi?

"Is this so-called Moon Lord really my cousin?!"

"This Uchiha Tsukuyomi possesses power comparable to Orochimaru, the public enemy of the ninja world?"

For a moment, Mr. Sasuke was in a state of turmoil, and suddenly had an urgent urge to see Uchiha Tsuki.

He vaguely remembered his cousin, who, before that night, seemed quite ordinary compared to himself, the son of the clan chief.

He had no reputation even within the entire Uchiha clan.

After that night, Uchiha Tsukito died along with all his clansmen.

As a result, in this spacetime…

"Hey!"

what happened?

Why is everyone so tense?

At that moment, Kai suddenly descended from the sky, landing in the middle of the crowd and breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Alright, everyone."

Let's go participate in Orochimaru's game together.

Everything will be alright.

Kakashi patted Shimura Taro, whose expression had calmed down somewhat, and his tone was rather low.

Soon, with Kai completely bewildered, the group walked out of Konoha with sullen expressions.

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

"Oh, it's Jonin Kakashi and Jonin Guy."

Naruto and the others, who were heading towards Orochimaru's game area, suddenly heard a slightly hoarse voice.

"Ah, is it Sister Bai and Ambassador Zabuza?"

Are you also going to participate in Orochimaru's game?!

Upon hearing the voice, Naruto immediately turned his head away, his face filled with joy.

These words caused Sasuke's expression to shift slightly, and he even seemed a little awkward.

He turned his head slightly, and what he saw were two unfamiliar yet familiar people.

The appearance of these two people caused Mr. Sasuke to change his expression slightly.

"Zuo..."

"Mr. Eagle, are you feeling unwell?"

Boruto seemed to notice Sasuke's unusual behavior and looked toward the source of the sound.

There, two figures were rapidly approaching. One had large areas of his body wrapped in bandages, while the other was a rather bright and beautiful young woman.

"No……

nothing."

Mr. Sasuke shook his head, giving a perfunctory answer, but the awkwardness in his heart still lingered.

After all, in his timeline, Zabuza and Haku had already been killed by their Seventh Squad.

In this bizarre time and space, these two not only survived, but also became ambassadors.

What's even stranger is that these two are wearing two headbands, one from Kirigakure and the other from Konoha.

Speaking of which, Mr. Sasuke vaguely remembers that Zabuza was a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.

"Hey, Lord Zabuza is the ambassador of Kirigakure to Konoha, Haku-neechan..."

cough cough.

I almost got led astray by that idiot Naruto.

Haku is Zabuza-sama's assistant.

Sakura, perhaps noticing Sasuke and Boruto's confusion, took the initiative to explain.

As for why he wore two headbands, Mr. Sasuke didn't ask, but he could roughly guess that it might be related to this new profession...

Characteristics and hallmarks of diplomatic ambassadors.

"Brother Bai?!"

Boruto suddenly exclaimed in surprise, feeling utterly astonished that such a beautiful young lady was calling him "brother"!

"Hey, Naruto."

Please don't call me that anymore.

Look, your friends have all misunderstood you because of this.

The group landed in an open area, and Zabuza, Kakashi, and Guy gathered together to discuss something.

Haku looked at Naruto with a gentle, helpless expression and spoke softly.

"Ha ha,

Because Brother Bai is too handsome.

Naruto scratched his head and laughed heartily, while the others couldn't help but purse their lips slightly.

The air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"However, this young gentleman looks somewhat like Naruto; I've never seen him before."

Could he be related to Naruto?

Haku looked at Boruto with some confusion. The two not only looked somewhat similar, but their hair color and beards were also very alike.

"Ah, no, that's not it."

Boruto is a ninja from another village, and although we seem to get along very well, we've become quite close in a short time.

Naruto glanced at Boruto, scratched his head, and burst into laughter.

"But to be honest."

Naruto and Boruto might actually have been relatives before, after all, they really do look alike.

Sakura touched her chin, glanced at Naruto, and then looked closely at Boruto.

Boruto was so sweaty he could barely keep his hands down.

Alright, everyone.

Let's keep going.

Not far away, Kakashi and his friends, who seemed to have discussed something beforehand, shouted towards Naruto.

"Okay, Kakashi-sensei."

"We're coming right now."

Naruto shouted back, and Boruto couldn't help but secretly wipe away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Soon, the group set off towards the place where Orochimaru's game was supposedly located.

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

This is a vast, empty wilderness.

Perhaps this place was once a forest, or perhaps a ravine.

However, more than a year after it became Orochimaru's playground, it had become a plain.

Its surface is perfectly smooth, as if someone frequently maintains and repairs it.

"Kakashi, Guy, you've arrived too."

From afar, a middle-aged man with a full beard waved to them. Beside him were Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino—the Ino-Shika-Cho team.

It was Asuma.

"Asuma, you're here so early!"

Kakashi greeted him with a cheerful "Kaiyoshi!" and then approached with Zabuza.

At this moment, more and more ninjas have arrived at this place, and most of them have gathered together, seemingly discussing tactics for the upcoming battle.

As for Naruto and the others, they gathered together with Ino and the others and started chattering away.

"If you ask me, Kakashi-sensei and the others are always coming up with useless tactics."

"We can't win anyway."

Naruto glanced at a group of Jonin who were discussing something not far away and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
