[V2] - Chapter 48. Curious
---
"Asuka-chan and Yumi-chan, come play again next time~"
"Mm~, Uncle, Aunt, goodbye!"
"So cute!" Sister Mikoto waved her hand, looking at the two small figures with a gentle smile, then said with a troubled look, "Why wasn't Sasuke born a girl?"
"…"
Fugaku gave Mikoto a strange look.
Good thing you didn't say that out loud just now!
He glanced again at the few retreating figures, shook his head, and said blandly, "Let's go inside."
"Let's go inside!" Sister Mikoto heard Fugaku's words and also shook her head helplessly, then tilted her head with a puzzled expression. "Yuto's friend is really strange! Just now, I don't think we even asked his name! Fugaku, do you know who he is? I feel such a sense of familiarity!"
As the words landed—
Fugaku's steps paused slightly, then he continued walking forward, expressionless, as he said, "You'll know in the future."
"Really?" Sister Mikoto smiled as she looked at Fugaku's back and murmured with a smile, "So sneaky. Why must I wait until later to know?"
After speaking, she looked back behind her, shook her head, didn't think more about it, and walked into the house.
"Oh~, so cute! Later I'll look again at Sasuke's childhood photos! Don't you think if we had a daughter, she would definitely be adorable too?"
…
On the other side.
It was getting late.
After finishing the meal and staying for a little while longer, it was already evening.
At this moment,
Yuto and his group were walking toward the edge of the clan grounds.
That meal—
Sasuke ate with tears streaming down his face, nearly scaring Mikoto. She even suspected whether this child hadn't eaten for a long time.
Yuto was holding the hands of the two little girls, one on each side, as they walked.
Suddenly—
"Thank you!"
Hearing the soft and faint thanks from behind, from Uchiha Sasuke, Yuto paused for a second, then said in a heavy tone, "This is what an uncle should do! If you want to come again next time, just tell Uncle! I'll bring you here!"
"…"
This guy…
As expected.
He shouldn't have said thank you.
Sasuke looked speechlessly at the proud and smug Uchiha Yuto, shook his head, and didn't bother with him anymore, instead turning to look at the familiar scenes around him.
The Uchiha clan in his ninja world… had long ceased to exist!
Everything here only existed in memories, yet who would have thought… this experience would be so strange, actually bringing him to another ninja world.
Seeing family again, eating Mom's cooking!
"Being able to come again, it's really great!"
Familiar clansmen, familiar paths, and the familiar little river.
This world's Sasuke must be truly happy!
But after a short while—
Sasuke's eyes once again showed determination.
The other ninja world still needed him, the other Naruto was still waiting for his return, and there was also Sarada, Sakura… Everyone was waiting for him and Boruto to go back!
How could he allow himself to indulge in this world?
Just then—
"Obito-sama!"
The Uchiha gate guard up ahead shouted.
Yuto and Sasuke immediately looked up and saw a figure walking in through the gate.
Uchiha Obito!
The genius ninja of Konoha!
Especially Uchiha Sasuke… looked at the incoming Obito with a complicated expression.
Ever since he found out that Chidori was created by this guy, he didn't know what to say anymore.
Especially after finding out that "Tsunade-sama" wasn't just the Tsunade-sama, things became even more complicated in his heart.
[T/N: Remember, like I said before, in the original language, Tsunade somewhat matches with Obito's title of Konoha's Ass-aulter.]
He remembered that on the first night he arrived in Konoha, he actually saw Uchiha Obito, and at that time he directly activated Susanoo.
Looks like—
This world's Uchiha Obito had also successfully awakened the Mangekyo!
However—
Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, Nohara Rin… the relationship between these three seemed incredibly complex.
Who knows how the other Kakashi would feel once he finds out?
However—
Just as Sasuke was getting emotional—
Uchiha Obito, who had just stepped into the Uchiha clan grounds, suddenly stopped in his tracks. Then, his expression changed as if he saw something terrifying, and his body—
"Shwoop shwoop~"
Without hesitation!
Like he was about to run away!
"???"
What's going on?
Did he suddenly remember something he forgot to do?
"Obito~ You hate your Dad that much?" Yuto beside him suddenly said with a heartbroken face. "You won't even call out to your Dad when you see him?"
"!!!"
Sasuke looked shocked!
He stared incredulously at Uchiha Yuto and Uchiha Obito.
Could it be...
Uchiha Obito is actually this world's Uchiha Sasuke's cousin?!
Before Sasuke could react—
Uchiha Obito turned back helplessly and looked at Uchiha Yuto. "What the hell are you trying to do?"
What bad luck.
Coming home today and running into this bastard here!
You have to know—
He never forgot his dream!
To make Uchiha Yuto go bankrupt!
"Nothing much! Just saw you and wanted to say hello!" Yuto sighed emotionally and patted Obito on the shoulder. "It seems like I haven't seen you in a while!"
"I didn't want to see you at all!"
"That's not important!"
Although Obito swatted his hand away, he didn't mind.
He's used to it!
Yuto looked at Obito seriously. "I heard recently you're preparing to become a God?"
As the words fell—
Obito looked at Yuto with a bewildered expression. "Huh? What God?"
"You want to rule the ninja world! Create a new world?"
"You got a screw loose?"
"…"
Being told he's got issues by Obito made Yuto feel weird, but seeing that expression on Obito's face, it was clear that Minato hadn't told him yet.
Yuto nodded thoughtfully. "Dad's just worried about you!"
"…Get lost!"
"Fine, I'll ask something else then! Recently, how are things between you and Yugito?"
As the words landed—
To Sasuke's surprise, he saw… Uchiha Obito, who just had a dark expression, suddenly become bashful.
"???"
What's going on?
Yugito?
Nii Yugito?
Isn't that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki from Kumogakure?
Then what about Nohara Rin?
Now… the usually indifferent Uchiha Sasuke's gossip instinct was suddenly ignited, just like the time he and Naruto tried to sneak a peek under Kakashi-sensei's mask.
Something's fishy!
However, Uchiha Obito stiffened his neck and said blandly, "Women only slow down my—"
Before he finished—
"If Yugito hears you say that, you'll get beaten up~"
"…Mind your own business!"
This time—
Obito didn't hesitate at all. He activated Kamui and vanished.
"So old and still acting shy~" Yuto sighed, shook his head. "Next time I see Yugito, I'll definitely have a good talk with her!"
As the words landed—
Sasuke looked conflicted, then hesitated before asking, "Uchiha Obito and Yugito Nii…"
He was a little curious.
Just a tiny bit curious!
"This story starts from the Chunin Exams during the Third Ninja World War!" Yuto smiled and nodded, then looked at the curious Uchiha Sasuke. "Eh, speaking of which, it's a long story. I'll tell you next time! It's time to go home for dinner!"
With that—
He turned and took the kids home.
Leaving behind a thoroughly confused Uchiha Sasuke.
"Has anyone ever told you that you deserve a beating?"
"No! Everyone says I look like their dad!"
"…"
However—
Just then—
A Konoha police ninja wearing a guard uniform came running in hurriedly. Upon seeing Uchiha Yuto, he let out a breath and quickly said, "Yuto-sama! Your house… exploded!"
"???"
His house exploded?
Before Yuto could even ask—
The Konoha police ninja continued, "That blond-haired boy living at your place suddenly seemed like a different person and just blew up your house!"
Immediately—
Boruto?!
Yuto and Sasuke's expressions changed. They looked at each other and quickly rushed toward home.
