Shu Zuo sighed.

"The purpose of our here is to protect Naruto from being harmed by Urashiki, and to find a way to return to his own era after solving this trouble of Urashiki."

"Don't get too busy."

"Okay......"

Hearing Shuzuo's reprimand, Boruto could only nod.

"Ichiraku mentioned just now that Naruto just finished eating ramen, and based on experience, he should go home now, so let's go to his house and have a look."

But Shuzuo, who was just about to set off, suddenly realized something.

He had forgotten where Naruto had lived before.

Since the rebellion in the village, he rarely returned to Konoha, and Konoha later experienced a series of destruction and reconstruction, even after the end of the ninja war, he was basically running around, only remembering the transformation of the appearance.

By this time, Konoha had almost faded from his memory.

Konoha said that it was not big, and it was not small to say that it was small, and it seemed that he could only continue to explore and slowly regain his memory.

Another half hour of inaction passed, and Boruto and Shusa did not find either Naruto nor his residence.

Boruto's eyes began to look suspicious at Shuzo.

"Master, why do you feel like you're not very familiar with this era?"

“…… Konoha has experienced several disasters before and has changed several times, so I can't remember it. ”

"Really?"

Boruto's eyes were still full of suspicion.

"So where are we going to find Dad?"

"Why don't you ask my father's acquaintances when he was a child?"

“……”

While they were standing on the side of the road and discussing, a girl with pink hair walked out of the corner of the street.

Boruto's eyes lit up.

This can be regarded as the second acquaintance he has seen since coming to this era.

Isn't this Zoryana's mother, Sakura-chan's mother?

Naturally, he knew that Sakura was a teammate of his father and master, and immediately beckoned to the other party, wanting to walk up to say hello.

And Uncle Zoton, who saw Sakura-chan appear, felt bad.

It's good to have anyone, why is it Sakura......

He just wanted Boruto to leave with Boruto, but he didn't expect Boruto, a little cub, to move faster than a rabbit, and he had already shouted loudly:

"Excuse me, but ask ......"

"Hmm......"

As soon as Boruto's shouting came out, he was hooked by Sasuke with one hand.

If he hadn't broken one hand, he would have covered this guy's mouth with both hands.

"What do you want to do?"

Boruto struggled to break free from Shuzuo's shackles and looked at his master in confusion.

Why does it feel like the master has been getting more and more wrong since he entered Konoha?

"Isn't Aunt Sakura's father and your teammates? Of course, I wanted to ask her where Dad lived. ”

"Didn't you say that you should act cautiously?"

"But...... We've been looking for it for so long......"

It's just that Sakura had already heard Boruto's voice, and she first looked left and right, and found that she was the only one nearby.

Somewhat strangely, she walked up to Boruto and Shuzo, and asked the two yellow-haired strangers she hadn't seen before:

"Was you calling me just now?"

Then her gaze fell on Shu Zuo.

Sakura hasn't been on a mission lately, and she's been learning about medical ninjutsu with Tsunade.

And the basic skill of a medical ninja is the sensitivity to chakra, and she has been training for this one for the past few days.

At this time, the feeling of the black-robed man in front of her, Chakra, felt very familiar to her.

Have you seen him somewhere?

Facing Sakura's increasingly curious gaze, Shuzo unconsciously lowered his head to avoid his gaze from meeting Sakura's.

He knew how obsessed Sakura was with him, and he might see some clues, and now he is ...... I owe so much to Sakura.

Lack of heart plus guilt, an inexplicable sense of entanglement makes it impossible for him to look directly at Sakura in this era.

"I'm sorry, we mistook someone."

After saying that, he directly turned around and pulled Boruto away.

Looking at the strange two who suddenly greeted him and left suddenly, Sakura only felt confused.

That yellow-haired guy, apart from the hairstyle, why does his face feel a little similar to Naruto?

And the voice of the black-robed man also made her a little concerned.

Not only the chakra, but even the voice is very familiar.

Sounds a bit like ...... Sasuke?

But soon she put the ridiculous idea behind her.

Sasuke seems to be resting at home these days.

Naruto must have been following his teacher to practice.

Ever since Sasuke took over the 'root' organization, although they have occasionally been able to meet, they have been far less frequent than they were before the Shinobi exam.

It seems that I miss Sasuke a little too much.,Recently, because of the increase in Konoha tasks.,There are more people from other villages who come to Konoha.,I actually misjudged the voice of a person from another village to Sasuke.,It's really hopeless.。

The gap between myself and them has widened. Let's try to learn from Tsunade-sama and become a help to the other two as soon as possible.

Only then will the three of them have a chance to continue their actions.

Sakura secretly cheered herself up in her heart.

……

On the other side, Sasuke, who was pulling Boruto away from Sakura, was also relieved to see that his young wife did not follow.

He really didn't know what kind of mentality to face Sakura at this time.

Evasion, while shameful, is useful.

Looking at his uncle who seemed to have been pardoned, Boruto couldn't help but speak:

"Master, are you hiding something from me?"

"You've never been so nervous when you fought against the big barrel peach style before."

"That's wrong, isn't it?"

Sasuke was silent.

After a while, he said:

"There are too many acquaintances in the village, and we have to think twice about what to do next."

"Isn't that right? Master. ”

Boruto continued to ask.

"Since we want to protect our father when we were young, we have to meet my father and my father's companions, right?"

"According to the plough's speculation, Pushi should be reached in ten days, and we will have to stay here for a while."

"Is it just hiding like this?"

"Master, when you used to perform tasks, you didn't seem to be twisted like this."

"Speaking of which, it seems that the master has never mentioned his past."

"Did something happen to the master during this period?"

"Although our current existence here may have an impact on the future, your reincarnation eye and writing wheel eye can actually be solved relatively easily, right?"

"I feel like you're running away from something, master."

"Especially when dealing with Aunt Sakura."

"When I was out on a mission before, I heard some rumors about you once defecting to the village during the Shinobi period."

"Could it be...... Is it true? ”

"Why, master?"

Faced with Boruto's questioning, Sasuke turned his head away.

"At that time, I had no choice."

"Can you tell me more about the process?"

"I really want to know the master's previous story."

Shu Zuo looked at his disciple with a little headache.

"Then after I'm done, you can't act on your own anymore."

"Well, that's a deal."

“……”

After listening to Sasuke's general account of his black history, Boruto was a little stunned, and he took a deep breath.

"It turns out that there are so many stories in the master's body."

"Master, I understand that it is precisely because of such a past that there is a current you."

"But I think it's a good opportunity to be here now."

"Master, you don't have anything...... Want to change? ”

Shu Zuo shook his head slowly.

"Nope."

"We're here to protect Naruto from Pushiki."

"I can't interfere with the past for something extra."

His tone had reverted to flatness.

It's just that this bland makes Boruto, who is his apprentice, feel uncomfortable.

"Alright, let's find a way to find Naruto and protect him in the shadows."

Shu Zuo said.

only to find that Boruto had a ghostly expression at this time.

"Well, what's wrong?"

He asked.

Boruto held out his hand and pointed behind Sasuke.

"Master...... According to what you just said, you should have left Konoha and followed Orochimaru during this period, right? ”

Shu Zuo nodded, a little strange.

"Well, what's wrong."

"That'...... That...... Who's that guy over there? ”
