Chapter 321

He was confident,

that under their combined efforts,

the dream unattainable by countless ancestors throughout history,

would be realized by them two!!!

……

The Akatsuki,

after hearing Sasuke's future words,

Itachi Uchiha fell silent.

He had never expected,

that Sasuke's future life would become so heavy.

Because the question Sasuke raised in the future,

was his own inner doubt.

And now it seemed,

Sasuke's future doubts were even greater than his own!!

Then the pain and confusion he bore must also be far greater than his own!!

Itachi Uchiha only wished for his younger brother to live happily,

but he had never imagined Sasuke's future burden would be this heavy.

Sasuke…

Did I really make a mistake?

Only Itachi Uchiha himself understood,

that those who carry such questions within them,

suffer immense inner pain,

for he himself had always been in this very stage!!

Sasuke's transformation into this state,

might very well be deeply tied to him!!!

Peace… can it truly be achieved?

Nagato's gaze was fixed tightly on the screen's content,

his heart yearned desperately for this answer,

though he himself was still striving toward this goal,

his inner conviction was far from firm!!!

This path was one he took only out of desperation!!

In truth, he had little confidence in whether this path was truly right.

And now, the ninja world created by another Hashirama Senju,

showed him a path utterly unlike any chosen by them all!!!

This path might realize the dream none of them could ever achieve!!.

145. I suggest you also unify the ninja world!!

Ultimately,

Boruto Uzumaki cast one last longing glance at Sasuke and Hashirama Senju,

then chose to return to his original timeline!!

For him,

this world, though powerfully alluring,

still held his most cherished people in his original timeline.

If he did not return soon,

his mother Hinata would be deeply worried about him,

Boruto Uzumaki did not want his mother to worry overmuch for him!!

……

When he woke the next day,

Sasuke stared at the ceiling above him,

still unable to believe it all!!

He had truly spent so long in this timeline!!

And this world was completely different from the history he once knew.

After defeating Ōtsutsuki Urashiki,

Sasuke finally had the chance to observe this world closely,

and after his observations,

he fully confirmed that this world had diverged entirely from theirs,

no matter what other changes this world might undergo in the future,

it could never return to the path of their world!!!

"How did you rest these past few days?"

Seeing Sasuke step out of his room,

Hashirama Senju greeted him!!

And Senju Tobirama, standing to the side, wore a thoroughly sour expression!!

He had only just now learned of the existence of a person called Sasuke from the future.

Seeing that Sasuke of the future bore a face strikingly similar to Uchiha Izuna's,

Senju Tobirama felt a nameless fury rising within him!!

Especially since this fellow gave him a feeling that was even somewhat similar to Madara Uchiha's,

which only made Senju Tobirama dislike him even more,

Sasuke of the future had perfectly fused together the most detestable traits of both Uchiha Izuna and Madara Uchiha into one person!!!

When Sasuke of the future looked toward Senju Tobirama,

the expression on his face was no better.

As for this Second Hokage,

Sasuke of the future knew,

he had always harbored an extremely deep prejudice against their Uchiha clan.

And in their original timeline,

it was precisely because Senju Tobirama had made their Uchiha clan into Konoha's Police Force,

that the conflict between the Uchiha clan and all of Konoha was intensified,

which also planted the foreshadowing for the later annihilation of the Uchiha clan!!

Senju Tobirama had, right from the start, targeted their Uchiha clan at every turn,

if not for him,

the fate of the Uchiha clan might still have had room to ch28ange.

"These few days, if you're free, you can have Tobirama take you around for a look…"

"If you want to understand just what differences exist between the two worlds, it can't be explained in a short while."

Senju Hashirama forcibly assigned Senju Tobirama a mission!!

"I don't have so much spare time to lead this fellow all over the place…"

"The Land of Fire still has so many matters waiting for me to handle, top to bottom—where would I find the mood to keep him company? …"

Casting a sidelong glance at Sasuke of the future, who stood opposite,

Senju Tobirama sneered.

【Senju Tobirama: Sure enough… no matter how much the world changes, my attitude toward the Uchiha is still like this. I really can't bring myself to like this clan…】

【Senju Hashirama: Tobirama… you are far too arrogant. Don't look at anyone through tinted glasses!】

【Shimura Danzo: I agree with the Second Hokage's view. The Uchiha clan is far too arrogant, and their emotions are extremely unstable. Once any accident occurs, it will cause unimaginable destruction to the people and things around them!!】
