08 Same and Different

When Sasuke Uchiha slowly opened his eyes from his deep sleep, the sun outside had reached the middle of the sky dome.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the bright and brilliant sunshine outside, and looking at the men, women, and children who came and went in the Uchiha clan's land, there were men, women and children talking and laughing, and Uchiha Sasuke's face, which had not shown a sincere smile for a long, long time, slowly outlined a warm arc.

Although during the journey with Boruto Uzumaki to travel through time and space and pursue the Otsuki Kipo-shiki, Sasuke Uchiha told Boruto that as a retrograde of history, one should not interfere too much with the events that make up history itself......

But if he returned to the point in time when he had just defected to Konoha, but to the Nine-Tails Rebellion that made the confrontation and estrangement between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village more distinct, or to the night of the extermination of the Uchiha clan, could he really resist interfering in the course of history?

"Sasuke, how are you resting? If you're still not feeling well, I'm going to apply to the fourth generation to postpone the meeting a little later......"

Hearing the voice of Uchiha Itachi coming from outside the door, Uchiha Sasuke slowly withdrew his gaze looking out of the window, while secretly glad in his heart that he didn't need to make such a difficult and struggling choice, while neatly putting on his black trench coat and hanging the Kusanagi sword on his waist, then he pushed open the door with a relaxed expression and responded:

"No, it's better to say that I've rested to the point where I'm a little lax and overdone...... Let's go, Itachi, and don't keep the people who have hurried back because of my business waiting too long. ”

"Is it okay with the left eye?"

"Don't worry about it, just wait for the recovery slowly...... What about the other me? ”

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head lightly and asked Uchiha Itachi with some curiosity.

"He's going to school for ninja school," Uchiha Itachi smiled and said in a very soft tone, "At his current age, studying hard, making as many friends as possible, and absorbing knowledge is what he should do......"

"Even if it has something to do with him?"

"The existence of the country, the ninja village, the clan, the parents, the elder brothers, etc., is to let the children who have not grown up yet have such a stable growth environment......

No matter what the time, no matter what the reason, there is a situation where a child needs to risk his life for the survival and safety of the world and the village, it can only show that the adults who pushed him out to solve the problem are a group of incompetent and cowardly wastes who should be completely eliminated and buried by the times and the world. ”

Speaking of this, Uchiha Itachi paused slightly, and then said with some emotion on his expression:

"I heard that from Mizukage-sama...... Although I think his evaluation of adults is a little too sharp, I still agree with the idea that the problems caused by adults themselves should never be solved by children who have not yet grown up. ”

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Itachi's face with a soft arc and a slightly warm glow in the sunlight from the corner of his eye, and muttered to himself with a complicated mood that he couldn't tell what kind of complicated emotions he couldn't tell:

"You've changed a lot compared to the one weasel I knew."

"It's normal for people to change their personalities and thoughts in accordance with the times as the course of history and the environment of the ninja world have changed, Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi habitually wanted to raise his hand and tap his brother's forehead, but suddenly found that Sasuke, who was walking beside him at this time, was half a head taller than himself, embarrassment and subtle emotions flashed in his heart, and he had already raised half of his hand and quickly retracted his place, from the perspective of ordinary people, he didn't even notice that Uchiha Itachi had such thoughts.

But Sasuke Uchiha, who has the Eternal Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye and the Reincarnation Writing Wheel Eye, is not an ordinary person.

So he could only look at the Uchiha Itachi's movements that were stopped a little stiffly, and sighed slightly with almost undetectable amplitude.

After all, are they still different people and worlds? It's much more real than the illusion, but it's because of this reality that I can show the difference so frankly......

With this in mind, Uchiha Sasuke followed behind Uchiha Itachi, left the Uchiha clan's residence, and headed towards the council hall where there would be many familiar and unfamiliar Konoha high-level people.

Shortly after they left, two sneaky little figures thought that no one knew about the Uchiha family's house, and after "cautiously" confirming that no one was in the house, they quietly left the place, heading straight for the same destination as Itachi and Sasuke.

In the wind, there was also a faint conversation between two imps who skipped class and sneaked out:

"Are you really sure that we can eavesdrop on so many powerful ninjas, Naruto?"

"Not sure, but if we don't try, we won't be able to know more about it until it's over...... Damn, it's clear that the uncle's version of Sasuke was rescued by me, and it's no different from you, just because the two of us are too young, so they don't even want to give us the opportunity to listen to the inside story, can you tolerate this kind of thing, Sasuke!? ”

"Rather than that, you better think about what you want to do to hide your aura for as long as possible, Naruto...... I will never forgive you if you were found out early by the adults and kicked out of the venue because of your inferior concealment skills, and if we were not able to hear useful information! ”

"Huh!? Do you think I'm the kind of crane tail that doesn't know anything!? Naruto Hakaze suddenly had a worried expression on his face.

"Isn't it?" Sasuke Uchiha (Jr.) cast a disdainful glance at Naruto Naruto.

"I, I'm just not interested in some subjects! It's such a simple trick as hiding your aura, if I take it seriously, I can get better grades than Sasuke! Absolute! ”

……

Earlier, the fog was hidden.

Naruto Uzumaki, who had been tossing and turning in the guest room of Kaguya's house all night, was sitting in the restaurant of Kaguya Rei's house with a numb and slightly confused expression at this time, and a white-haired little girl who looked obviously very sweet and cute, but his cold expression and white eyes that couldn't see emotion always reminded him of the white-haired little girl who came from Kaguya.

"That, first time we met, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm the seventh Hokage of Konoha in the future...... Can you tell me your name? ”

After the silence lasted for a while, Naruto Uzumaki, who really didn't want to endure this strange atmosphere any longer, took the initiative to ask the little girl who was sitting across the table waiting for breakfast.

"Asuka, Kazuya Asuka."

The girl who didn't see Naruto Uzumaki who came back with Rei Kaguya yesterday because she went to bed on time turned her head and responded to Naruto Uzumaki's question in a flat and straightforward tone, and then asked rhetorically:

"Question, according to the knowledge that my father told me, Konoha's current Hokage is the fourth generation Hokage wave Feng Shuimen, aged thirty-two years old, according to the inheritance method of Konoha Hokage in the past dynasties, he has the opportunity to surpass the third generation of Hokage apes and become the longest reigning Hokage, but Uncle Uzumaki, you say that you are the seventh Hokage of Konoha in the future......

Is this the boasting that you casually said as a guest, or has Konoha's internal contradictions intensified to the point where it is necessary to replace the Hokage frequently to be able to barely satisfy all the forces in the country? ”

“…… Why, in your judgment, is there no option that I am actually from the future, the real Seven Hokage? Naruto Uzumaki was stunned by Kaguya's little ghost's speech, and asked with some embarrassment, touching his head.

"Because my father will gradually complete the unification of all aspects of the ninja world in more than ten years, the time left for Konoha is not enough for the Hokage to change normally to the time when the seventh Hokage takes the throne."

Kaguya Asuka gave her answer very seriously.

"Unify the ninja world?"

Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help frowning, subconsciously remembering the opponents who had been defeated by him, who wanted to turn the ninja world into his own word, and just as he was thinking about how to continue the conversation, Terumi in an apron walked out of the kitchen with the breakfast that had been prepared, and complained helplessly to Kaguya Ren who was also carrying food next to him:

"Pity? Didn't you say okay, don't talk to Asuka about so many adult world topics when she was young? Do you want her to become a withdrawn child who is as old as you at a young age, and can't play with her peers at all? ”

"Because she doesn't like to listen to children's stories, I thought about saying something that children are not interested in to stimulate her sleepiness...... And that's it. ”

Kaguya Ren put the breakfast in her hand in front of everyone who sat down, and sighed helplessly as well.

"I don't think that's a bad thing, father."

Kaguya Asuka first thanked Kaguya, and then continued to say to Kaguya in an ancient sound tone:

"Compared with bedtime stories, I still prefer to listen to my father's casual stories that seem to be personal insights, and occasionally add some bad complaints...... My father must have thought I was a good listener, right? ”

"Let's have breakfast first, or mom will be angry."

Kaguya rubbed her daughter's head and wisely decided to put the matter aside for the future, and Kaguya nodded obediently, whispered "I'm moving", and enjoyed her breakfast quietly and delicately.

“…… It seems that even you are facing the same problem with family education, four generations of Mizukage. ”

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Rei Kaguya, who was sitting next to Terumi, and muttered quietly.

"Children who are too sensible and too ignorant will make first-time parents feel tired to cope."

Kaguya Ren shook her head, and before she officially started, she said to Naruto Uzumaki, who was also preparing to perform the pre-dinner ceremony:

"The kid we're going to see later is also a child who is so sensible that his father is very tired."

"Who?" Naruto Uzumaki asked curiously.

"One of the tails of Shayin, the third child of the four generations of Kazekage, I love Luo."
