Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 186 Master, you are following Orochimaru now, who is that person over there?
Shuzuo sighed.

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

"Don't get sidetracked."

"All right……"

Hearing his uncle's scolding, Boruto could only nod.

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

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

He forgot where Naruto lived before.

Since the rebellion against the village, he rarely returned to Konoha. Konoha later went through a series of destruction and reconstruction. Even after the Great Ninja War ended, he was basically running around, only remembering what it looked like after the transformation.

Konoha at this time has almost faded from his memory.

Konoha doesn't say it's big, it doesn't mean it's small. It seems that it can only continue to explore and slowly regain its memory.

Another inactive half hour passed, and Boruto and Shuzu found neither Naruto nor his residence.

Boruto looked at his uncle with suspicion.

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

"...Konoha has experienced several disasters and changed its appearance several times before, so I can't remember it."

"is it?"

Boruto's eyes were still full of suspicion.

"Then where should we find dad?"

"Why don't you ask some of Dad's childhood acquaintances?"

"..."

While they were standing on the roadside discussing, a girl with pink hair walked out from 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 Zuo Lianna's mother, Mrs. Sakura?
He naturally knew that Sakura was a teammate of his father and master, so he immediately waved to them, wanting to go up and say hello.

When he saw Sakura appearing, his uncle felt bad.

Anyone can come, why should it be Sakura...

He just wanted to take Boruto away with him, but he didn't expect that this little brat, Boruto, could move faster than a rabbit and had already shouted:
"Sorry, I have to ask..."

"Well……"

As soon as Boruto's shout came out, Sasuke caught him with one hand.

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

"What do you want?"

Boruto broke free from his uncle's restraints and looked at his master in confusion.

Why does it feel like the master has become worse and worse since he entered Konoha?

"Isn't Aunt Sakura your father and your teammates? Of course I want to find her to ask where my father lives?"

"Didn't I tell you to act with caution?"

"But...we have been looking for so long..."

But Sakura had already heard Boruto's voice. She looked around first and found that she was the only one nearby.

She walked up to Boruto and Shuzuo strangely, and asked the two strangers with yellow hair whom she had never seen before:

"Did you call me just now?"

Then her eyes fell on Shuzuo.

Sakura hasn't been out on missions recently, and she has been learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade's side.

The basic skill of a medical ninja is sensitivity to chakra, and she has been training on this in the past few days.

The chakra of the black-robed man in front of her now felt very familiar to her.

Have you seen him somewhere?
Facing Sakura's increasingly curious gaze, Shuzuo lowered his head unconsciously to avoid meeting Sakura's eyes.

He knew how dedicated Sakura was to him in the past, and he might be able to discern some clues, but at this moment, he... owed a lot to Sakura.

Feeling guilty and guilty, an inexplicable sense of entanglement prevented him from looking directly at Sakura in this era.

"Sorry, we got the wrong person."

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

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

That guy with yellow hair, except for his hairstyle, why does his face look a bit similar to Naruto's?

The voice of the man in black robe also made her a little concerned.

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

Sounds a bit like...Sasuke?
But she soon put this ridiculous idea behind her.

Sasuke seems to be resting at home these days.

Naruto was probably training with his teacher Jiraiya.

Ever since Sasuke took over the 'root' organization, although they could meet occasionally, it was far less frequent than before the chunin exams.

It seems that I miss Sasuke a little too much. Recently, due to the increase in missions in Konoha, more people from outside the village have come to Konoha. I actually misjudged the voice of an outsider as Sasuke. It is really hopeless.

The gap between myself and them has become wider and wider.It is better to study hard with 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 taking action.

Sakura secretly cheered herself up in her heart.

……

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

He really didn't know how to face Sakura at this time.

Evasion is shameful, but useful.

Looking at his uncle who seemed to have been granted amnesty, Boruto couldn't help but say:
"Master, are you hiding something from me?"

"You have never been so nervous before when you fought against Otsutsuki Momoshiki."

"Isn't something very wrong?"

Sasuke was silent.

After a while he said:
"There are too many acquaintances in the village. We must think twice before we act."

"Isn't it right? Master."

Boruto continued to ask.

"Since we want to protect our father when he was a child, we have to meet him and his companions, right?"

"According to Li's estimation, Pu Shi should be reached in more than ten days. We will have to stay here for a while after all."

"Are you going to keep hiding like this?"

"Master, you didn't seem to be this coquettish when you were performing tasks before."

"It seems that the master has never mentioned his past."

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

"Although our presence here may have an impact on the future, your Rinnegan and Sharingan can actually solve it relatively easily, right?"

"I feel like you are running away from something, Master."

"Especially when facing Aunt Sakura."

"When I was on a mission outside, I heard some rumors about you defecting to the village when you were a genin."

"Is... is it true?"

"Why, master?"

Facing Boruto's questioning, Sasuke turned his head away.

"At that time, I had no choice."

"Can you tell me the detailed process?"

"I really want to know the master's past stories."

Shuzuo looked at his disciple with a headache.

"Then after I say this, you can no longer act without permission."

"Well, that's for sure."

"..."

After listening to Sasuke's brief account of his dark history, Boruto felt a little disappointed and took a deep breath.

"It turns out that the master has so many stories."

"Master, I understand that it is because of this past that you are where you are now."

“But I think it’s a good opportunity for us to be here now.”

"Master, don't you have anything... that you want to change?"

Shuzuo shook his head slowly.

"No."

"We are here to protect Naruto from Urashiki."

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

His tone has returned to calmness.

It's just that this plainness makes Boruto, his apprentice, feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's find a way to find Naruto and protect him while hiding in the dark."

Uncle Zuo said.

But he found that Boruto looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Well, what happened?"

he asked.

Boruto calmly stretched out his hand and pointed behind Sasuke.

"Master...according to what you just said, you should have left Konoha and followed Orochimaru at this time, right?"

Shuzuo nodded, a little strange.

"Well, what's wrong."

"Then...then...who is that person over there?"
