Chapter 279

And Naruto Uzumaki, though he never left Konoha,

stayed home all day,

yet he wasn't any better off than himself!!

Even Sasuke Uchiha, as an outsider, could see it,

that Naruto Uzumaki's innermost desire was for his father's company,

and Naruto Uzumaki himself, as Boruto's father,

had never noticed this!!

"Boruto… you must believe in your father."

"He may even be the strongest Hokage in Konoha's history."

"And… he's not uncaring toward you—he simply has too many things to handle."

"As Hokage… the entire village's safety rests on his shoulders; he cannot hand these duties to others."

"You don't want your father to be a negligent man, do you?"

With his one exposed eye fixed tightly on Boruto,

Sasuke reached out his right arm and patted his head.

He hadn't even expected himself,

that with his personality, he would say such things.

Though Boruto was deeply dissatisfied with Naruto's behavior,

seeing Sasuke say this,

he realized his father, as Hokage,

truly had too many things to handle!!

【Kushina Uzumaki: What's wrong with this brat Naruto? Why learn from Minato of all things—does becoming Hokage mean ignoring your family?】

【Minato Namikaze: Kushina… there's no other way… the Hokage position carries far too many burdens.】

【Naruto Uzumaki: I… I actually became Hokage?! Hahaha!! I knew it—I'd become Hokage!! I'm the legendary genius!!】

【Sakura Haruno: This yellow-haired brat is really Naruto's son… which poor girl married Naruto? This guy looks like Bai Chi!】

【Shikamaru Nara: Sakura, people change over time. Our Naruto is like this now, but he might not stay this way. Don't you think the Naruto they talk about is completely different from the one we know?】

【Hinata Hyuga: N…Naruto-kun… he just wants everyone's recognition. He's always worked hard, and he's always been kind…】

【Ino Yamanaka: Hinata, why are you so fixated on Naruto? I hear you mention him in every three sentences—could it be you'll end up marrying him?!】

【Neji Hyuga: Summing it all up, Naruto has nothing to do with "dead last." As the jinchuriki of the strongest Tailed Beast, the Nine-Tails, and the son of the Fourth Hokage, he might even become Hokage himself… he's practically the protagonist of a novel!!】

【Jiraiya: So my instincts were right… this brat… might truly be the prophesied child!!】

"By the way, Master Sasuke, I notice you seem very concerned about Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha."

"Are their powers really as strong as legend says?"

Regarding the records of these two,

Boruto still harbored doubts,

believing history always exaggerated.

The reason they received such high praise

was merely because they founded Konoha;

in terms of actual strength, they were not necessarily as powerful as legend claimed.

"Boruto… never underestimate any strong one who left his name behind."

"I can tell you plainly: these two were even stronger than the records say."

"Few later ninja could surpass them, not even come close."

"Without seeing these two with your own eyes, you cannot imagine their true power."

Seeing Boruto's worried expression, Sasuke chuckled and patted his head again.

"But you don't need to worry too much."

"For ordinary ninja, these two might be unbeatable."

"But to me, though I respect them, they're merely legends of the past…"

"I dare not claim I can defeat them both, but I won't be weaker than them—certainly enough to guarantee your safety!!"

Sasuke's face showed fierce confidence.

In his view,

the peak era of ninja

was not the age of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha,

but his own and Naruto Uzumaki's era!!

In the age of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha,

they were the strongest beings!!

In the subsequent ninja era,

with the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki,

which one of them didn't far surpass Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?

Yet they still fell before the combined might of him and Naruto Uzumaki,

even Kaguya Otsutsuki, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths,

was no match for him and Naruto!!

It was they two who saved this world!!

……

Inside the hospital,

Sasuke Uchiha involuntarily clenched his fists,

from the information in the footage,

he realized that the mysterious man was none other than his future self.

Upon hearing his words, Sasuke could not help but be overwhelmed with emotion!!

So his future self had already grown this powerful?

Even Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, the legends, were no match for him?

Through the live-streaming system,

Sasuke Uchiha had already seen just how strong Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were.

Yet even at that level,

they were still no match for his future self?

Given this situation,

he must have killed Itachi Uchiha in the future,

avenged his Uchiha clan!!

He admitted his brother Itachi Uchiha was powerful,

but no matter how strong he was,

he could never surpass Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha,

yet his future self's strength towered above both of them!!

Sasuke Uchiha further solidified his resolve toward his future!!!

131. The meeting of the two Indra reincarnations!

Upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words from the screen,

the viewers in the live stream were once again speechless.

Is future Sasuke really this arrogant?

He actually believes his strength surpasses Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha?

Thinking of this, the viewers felt a surge of schadenfreude!!

Because they knew Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were already aware of Sasuke Uchiha's arrival.

And these Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha were far stronger than their counterparts from the original timeline!

Judging by the way these two looked,
