Chapter 80 - Travelers from the Future [2] (1/2)

''I don't know what you mean, we just met for the first time a few hours ago.'' Sasuke said while looking over Naruto's skin that was almost fully regenerated by now.

Naruto chuckled a bit before he said while staring right at Sasuke's eyes: ''You don't need to worry about screwing the timeline, you're from another reality. About the Otsutsukis... no need to hide them from me as I already know about them, right, Sasuke?''

The black-haired man frowned and slowly took a step back, seeing that, the blonde teenager smiled slightly: ''Don't think too much, it's just that you have the same Chakra Signature as the Sasuke from 'my' timeline. As for you... you're probably my son but from the future, the 'me' from 'your' reality did well in hiding his past.''

''A kid like you probably wouldn't be able to endure it like 'he' did. Tell me, Sasuke, how is the 'me' from your reality? I'm curious because in some realities, I can be dead or maybe not even exist, it's unpredictable.'' Naruto said with a small smile but Sasuke could feel the sadness and hate contained inside it.

''Oi, we're the same age!'' Boruto exclaimed, just to be ignored by both Naruto and future Sasuke.

Sasuke looked over Naruto before smiling slightly, from these few moments he passed with the blonde teenager from this different reality, he could understand exactly the differences, they're so similar yet... so different.

These eyes weren't eyes of the Naruto from 'his' reality, rather, this Naruto looked completely different despite the similarities - Clothing, personality itself, intelligence, power.

Even if he told everything that happened, it wouldn't affect this reality aka timeline. With a smile that contained relief and... sorrow after seeing how this reality's Naruto was, he said: ''You trained hard to make everyone believe in you, your dream. You saved the world and became your dream, becoming the Hokage. This is enough to satisfy your curiosity, right?''

'Me? The Hokage? Pfft!' Naruto almost laughed, he didn't feel anger, rather, he despised the other 'him'. To think that his dream was to become the Hokage even after all he suffered? He could only guess that the other 'him' is stupid.

Why would you make others recognize you as the Hokage if you can make others recognize you everywhere by being the strongest? Is he stupid or something?

''Oi, I'm still here!'' Seeing Sasuke and Naruto talking about things, Boruto interfered in their conversation as both of them looked at him incredulously.

''You're still here?!'' They asked in synchronization.

Boruto: '...'

...

After that, Boruto simply gave up on them and left, going to wander around the Village, seeing that, Naruto smiled slightly, despite being annoying, he couldn't help but feel happy after seeing the blonde traveler. Looking over Sasuke once again, he said in a serious tone: ''I saw the way you looked towards Uncle, Aunt, Itachi-san and Shisui-san. Was the Uchiha Clan slaughtered in the future?''

Sasuke nodded lightly as he said: ''Unfortunately... yes, Danzo was the one responsible for it but I'm sure you already know that, otherwise, he would be in the Village right now.''

''...He was also responsible for trying to slaughter the Uchiha Clan this time, too. I felt it in time and as such, Nii-san went to help. I'm sure Danzo just manipulated things from the dark in your timeline, I saw the sorrow you had when looking towards Itachi-san was way greater than the rest, maybe... he was the one sent to do the job?'' Naruto asked indifferently, to him, Danzo was no different from a dead man.
