Chapter 751: Super Kid

"What game?"

Naruto stood on tiptoes, leaning in close to Obito's golden earring, curiosity flickering in his azure eyes.

"This earring is called a Potara Earring. If both of you wear them, you can fuse into one person, and you might become stronger instantly."

Obito patted Naruto's head, crouched down to meet the eyes of the two three-year-olds, and introduced them while holding an earring in each hand.

In the war of the parallel world, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke showed an excellent compatibility.

Even when one of them was injured during fusion and the other was severely wounded, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke still displayed terrifying power after merging, and Six Paths Madara Uchiha suffered no small losses at their hands.

Obito thought there shouldn't be much difference between counterparts, so Minato Namikaze's son Naruto and little Sasuke should also have high compatibility.

To prevent any issues, Obito even went to consult with Muyue.

After confirming that fusing children wouldn't cause any particular problems, he decided to let Naruto and little Sasuke give it a try.

"No."

Little Sasuke suddenly crossed his arms and turned his face away.

"If we fuse, then he'd also become big brother's little brother."

Little Sasuke said with righteous indignation.

Naruto who plays with him is good.

Naruto who wants to compete with him for big brother is bad!

Itachi Uchiha is his big brother alone!

"The fusion lasts at most an hour, it's not like you'll be one person forever."

Obito explained.

"So amazing? Really?"

Boruto looked at the Potara Earring with suspicion, having never heard of such a thing.

"Of course it's true. If it's Naruto and little Sasuke, after fusing they might be able to easily master techniques like the Rasengan."

Obito speculated based on Naruto and Sasuke's performance.

Naruto and little Sasuke exchanged glances, both a little tempted.

Just wearing the earring could let them master a ninja technique; even if it only lasted at most an hour, it was hard to refuse.

"Want to try?"

Obito asked finally.

"Yes!" ×2

With Obito's help, Naruto and little Sasuke each wore an earring.

Accompanied by a flash of dazzling white light, a yellow-haired child who combined the features of both Naruto and Sasuke appeared before Obito and Boruto.

Little Narusuke was much taller than Naruto and little Sasuke, looking like a five- or six-year-old child.

"They really became one person, and taller too."

Boruto said in surprise.

He hadn't expected that such a magical item existed in this more backward era.

"Rasengan? That really is a simple ninja technique."

Little Narusuke closed his eyes, recalling the Rasengan Boruto and Obito had just used.

A minute later, little Narusuke opened his eyes and extended his right hand. A chakra ball the size of a basketball appeared in his palm.

Obito's mouth twitched. He hadn't even started learning ninja knowledge, yet after only seeing it twice, he could use it. He had to report to Sage Muyue—someone here was cheating!

Boom!

Little Narusuke casually smashed the Rasengan into the ground, creating a crater about three meters wide.

"Yellow-haired brat, let's have a battle between ninjas."

Young Naruto and Sasuke provocatively challenged Boruto.

Boruto was speechless.

But before Boruto could respond, Obito spoke up:

"Boruto hasn't been feeling well lately, so he can't fight."

"Naruto and I don't pick on the sick. We'll fight you when you're better."

Young Naruto and Sasuke gave up on their plan to teach the inherently evil yellow-haired brat a lesson.

"Brother Obito, let's go."

Young Naruto and Sasuke switched their target to Obito.

Although in Young Naruto and Sasuke's memory Obito was a jonin of considerable strength, they felt they were now very strong and might not necessarily lose to Obito.

"Even I have to be challenged? Fine, bring it on."

Obito was a bit surprised but gladly accepted.

"Fight, start!"

Boruto, acting as a temporary referee, shouted.

"Rasengan!"

At Boruto's command, Young Naruto and Sasuke instantly burst out chakra and used the only jutsu they knew, charging at Obito.

Because of their powerful chakra, Young Naruto and Sasuke displayed a speed that surprised Boruto.

Compared to the energetic Boruto, Obito seemed quite leisurely.

Obito didn't dodge or evade; he stood still and let Young Naruto and Sasuke approach.

To avoid hurting Obito, Young Naruto and Sasuke had to cancel the Rasengan and instead elbow him with their left arm.

However, the moment Young Naruto and Sasuke's elbow reached Obito's body, they looked dumbfounded.

Their body passed through Obito's body like going through an illusion, failing to cause any damage to Obito.

Instead, Obito took the opportunity and knocked Young Naruto and Sasuke on the head.

"Defeating your brother Obito isn't that easy."

Obito chuckled proudly.

With his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he had achieved complete control over Kamui, able to use it however he wanted now.

Young Naruto and Sasuke refused to believe it and tried a few more times, but couldn't even touch a corner of Obito's clothes.

"I'm not fighting anymore. Brother Obito, you're stronger."

Unable to land a hit, Young Naruto and Sasuke directly conceded.

They couldn't hit him, so what else could they do?

"This guy is really nasty."

Boruto's mouth twitched slightly. A full-fledged jonin bullying two three-year-old kids.

"But this earring is really strong."

Boruto's mood was complicated.

After watching the fight, he realized he might not be able to beat Young Naruto and Sasuke.

Young Naruto and Sasuke were super kids. After a little fighting, they only got stronger.

"Brother Obito, I want to learn this."

Young Naruto and Sasuke said.

"This I can't teach you. Later when you have the Rinnegan, we can swap and play with it."

Obito rubbed his chin and said.

He had never used the Rinnegan before. When he merged with Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Obito's Rinnegan had already been given to Nagato.

"Where can I buy that earring?"

Boruto thought for a moment and asked.

If Potara earrings could be bought, Boruto would borrow money from Sasuke if he had to to buy a pair.

The fusion of Little Sasuke and Naruto was already that amazing. If his father and Mr. Sasuke fused, they would definitely be even stronger; even if Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki revived inside him, they could easily defeat him.

"No place sells them. They're Teacher Muyue's ninja tools."

Obito remarked.

"I see."

Boruto was a little disappointed, but not too surprised.

After all, such a powerful item was bound to be very rare.

With the ninja training experience over, Obito took Boruto, Naruto, and Sasuke to the shopping district to have fun.

"Is that Naruto Uzumaki?"

The bounty ninja hired by Isshiki took a look at Naruto and Sasuke from the shadows, then at the photo in his hand, and fell into thought.

Blonde hair, looks like the Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Hokage—no doubt, these are Naruto Uzumaki's traits.

However, the actual appearance was slightly different from the photo the bounty ninja had received.

"Probably, I haven't heard of Minato Namikaze having any other children."

Another plain-looking bounty ninja said in a low voice.

"But his height is off too. He's three years old yet this tall?"

The bounty ninja still felt something was wrong.

The hell—is this three years old?

"Maybe the Hokage's kid eats well."

"Let's lie low and investigate more. If we don't succeed in one go, Konoha will definitely be on guard next time."

After much deliberation, the bounty ninja still chose not to act.

Kidnapping the current Hokage's son inside Konoha was obviously a mission with a high chance of death; they had to be cautious, or else they'd have money but no life to spend it.

…

When Obito learned through questioning that Naruto and Sasuke were about to lose their fusion, he brought both of them and Boruto into the Kamui Dimension to prevent any weird urban legends from cropping up.

"I'm so tired, but it was really fun."

Naruto caught his breath, then broke into a smile.

The feeling of fusion was wonderful. Even though their consciousnesses had merged, after it ended Naruto still had memories from the time as Naruto-and-Sasuke.

"Yeah, it was a lot of fun."

Little Sasuke agreed.

"Rasengan!"

Naruto reached out his hand and tried to use the Rasengan based on the feeling in his memory.

Blue chakra briefly gathered in Naruto's hand, then swiftly dissipated.

"Why is that?"

Naruto didn't understand. In his memories, he had already mastered it.

"Naruto-and-Sasuke mastering it doesn't mean you, Naruto, have mastered it. A soul-fused ninja is just too powerful."

Obito explained.

The configuration of a fused ninja was too high, especially for two people with such high compatibility as Naruto and Little Sasuke.

So even the ninjutsu learned during the fusion didn't mean Naruto and Little Sasuke could use them the same way.

"But don't be discouraged. If you keep fusing and practicing, it'll still be faster than normal training."

Kakashi mastered the Limitless Cursed Technique quickly by relying on the Potara Earring training method.

"Can we play with the earrings every day?"

Naruto asked with sparkling eyes.

"Of course not. You're not old enough to train yet. There will be plenty of time for you to practice later."

Obito refused without mercy.

Naruto and young Sasuke were too young and more susceptible to the effects of fusion.

"Eh, then how old do we have to be before we can play?"

Young Sasuke asked.

He really wanted to use the Potara Earrings with Uchiha Itachi, feeling that a fused ninja would definitely be very strong.

"Whenever you behave well, I'll let you play with them."

Obito put away the Potara Earrings without giving a definite answer.

Then Obito directly used Kamui to teleport to the top of the Hokage Rock, taking the group to overlook Konoha.

They played together until the afternoon, and only then did Obito send Naruto and young Sasuke home.

Having played for most of the day, young Sasuke was tired, so he stayed at home and didn't go out until Uchiha Itachi returned from training.

"Big brother, welcome home."

Seeing Uchiha Itachi return, young Sasuke greeted him with a smile.

However, when he saw the older Sasuke following behind Uchiha Itachi, young Sasuke puffed up his cheeks and glared at Sasuke with what he thought was the fiercest look, as if asking, "Why are you here again?"

That time Itachi stood him up caused huge trauma to this three-year-old child, and the culprit was undoubtedly this guy named "Suigetsu."

Sasuke: …

"As expected, parallel worlds are different."

Sasuke thought inwardly.

He was not like this when he was a child.

"Sasuke, did you obediently listen to Mom today?"

Uchiha Itachi walked up to young Sasuke with a smile, patted his head, and asked.

"Yes, but I wasn't home for a lot of today. I went to play with Naruto, big brother Obito, and the blond brat."

Young Sasuke said enthusiastically, very eager to share today's happy time with Uchiha Itachi.

"Blond brat?"

Uchiha Itachi showed a puzzled expression, not expecting such a term to come out of his cute little brother's mouth.

"It's Boruto, a newly made friend. It's all Naruto's fault for always calling him that, making me subconsciously say it too."

Realizing he had said something wrong, young Sasuke covered his mouth and quickly shifted the blame to Naruto.

"Naruto, Boruto…"

Sasuke covered his forehead. Smart as he was, he found it hard to imagine the scene described by young Sasuke.

Three-year-old Naruto scolding twelve-year-old Boruto as a blond brat—that was just too absurd.

"Why are Boruto and Naruto together, and Obito is also there?"

Sasuke frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple.

"Big brother Obito taught us how to fuse. It's amazing."

Young Sasuke continued, recalling the immense power of fusion, his small face filled with excited smiles.

"Fusion?"

Sasuke's expression turned serious. Why would that evil Uchiha Obito teach children such a thing?

"What is fusion?"

Uchiha Itachi looked confused and asked.

He couldn't quite understand what this word meant.

"It's like having a pair of earrings—when two people wear them together, they fuse into one person, become really strong, and can learn ninjutsu instantly."

Little Sasuke explained, gesturing excitedly.

"I see."

Uchiha Itachi wore an expression of sudden realization.

Sasuke was a bit speechless—so it was literal fusion.

"Maybe the differences between parallel worlds are bigger than I imagined."

Sasuke thought to himself—he had never heard of any earrings that could fuse people; there was a forbidden technique to fuse with a summoning beast, but fusing person with person and person with beast were clearly not the same.

"Did you thank Obito-nii? That kind of item must be very precious, yet he gave it to you to play with."

Uchiha Itachi quickly scanned Little Sasuke's body, and after confirming there was no change, he said.

"I already thanked him. Obito-nii is really nice—he even said that once I get the Rinnegan, I can trade his Kamui for my Rinnegan to play with."

Little Sasuke nodded.

He didn't know what the Rinnegan was, but he was clear that Kamui was a formidable ability that could make attacks pass through.

"The Rinnegan!"

Sasuke's expression turned serious.

How did Uchiha Obito of this world know that 'he' had the potential to awaken the Rinnegan?

"No, I need to test Uchiha Obito as soon as possible."

Sasuke had a bad feeling—perhaps the Obito of the parallel world was more cunning and sinister than the Obito he knew.

Although the Obito of their world hid deeply, he only hid within the Akatsuki.

But this world's Obito stayed openly in Konoha and was highly valued by Namikaze Minato and Hanyu Muyue—that was terrifying.

If this were a disguise, then the two disguises were simply not on the same level.

Sasuke boldly speculated that Black Zetsu of this world might have taken a different approach.

Thus, in this world, it was not Black Zetsu controlling Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Madara controlling Obito, but Black Zetsu directly guiding Obito.

That was why this world's Obito's circumstances differed so greatly from the Obito he knew.

PS:

Happy New Year, brothers. May the new year bring you tons of money and good fortune after good fortune.
