Chapter 93 That day, loneliness set in.
the next day.
As planned, Jiraiya left a letter and prepared to leave the village to find Naruto. Just as he reached the village gate, he was stopped by the Anbu who had been waiting for him there.
Naruto, who had just woken up after fainting yesterday and was still sleepy, was summoned to the Hokage's office.
"Using defection as an excuse to leave the village? Which of you two came up with this terrible idea? Huh?!"
After Tsunade beat the two of them up, she took out the "accusation letter" left by Sasuke.
"Damn Sasuke, he left two portions! He miscalculated."
Naruto covered his head, muttering complaints under his breath.
"Forget it, he's probably run off to Orochimaru's place now, we can't catch him anyway, let's deal with it later."
Tsunade sighed.
Sasuke's current pursuit of power feels just like Orochimaru's back then; this feeling is all too familiar.
"No, I must get revenge on Sasuke! That guy didn't leave the village right away yesterday; he was lying in wait for me, saw me steal the letter, and then came out to ambush me!"
Naruto clenched his fists and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Ambush you from behind? Are you sure it's Uchiha Sasuke?"
Although Tsunade was not in the village before, after returning to become Hokage, she learned about the general personality of each ninja in the village. Sasuke was one of the ninjas that her disciple Sakura often mentioned.
Given Sasuke's personality, he certainly wouldn't go to such lengths, risking being discovered and unable to leave, just to tease and get revenge on Naruto.
"It must be him! After I passed out yesterday, I vaguely heard the sound of Kakashi-sensei teaching Sasuke that technique!"
Naruto had a confident expression on his face.
"Chidori?"
"Yeah, that's right! My butt still hurts a little when I woke up!"
"Hiss, this..."
Tsunade hesitated.
Chidori's voice was so unique that Naruto couldn't possibly have misheard it. It couldn't be that Kakashi was just randomly electrocuting Naruto, could it?
"Lady Tsunade, two outsiders have come to the village, claiming to be street performers."
At that moment, Shizune pushed open the door and walked in to report to Tsunade.
"What?"
So fast?
A hint of surprise flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
Jingyin had been eavesdropping on the conversation and was the only other person besides her who knew the truth.
The report may seem unremarkable at first glance, but it actually contains a hint.
"Bring them in."
"Yes."
"..."
Tsunade looked at the two people, one big and one small, who appeared in front of her.
The larger one is easy to recognize; if I hadn't known beforehand that it was the future Sasuke, I really wouldn't have recognized it.
The smaller one is outrageous.
Aside from the hairstyle, the eyes are bluer, and the clothes are more trendy, he's a complete copy of Naruto.
Pretending not to recognize them seems a bit difficult.
"Ahem, what brings you two to Konoha? Don't blame us for being nervous; Konoha has recently experienced turmoil, and a genin has defected. We have to be extremely cautious with every outsider."
Tsunade looked at the two of them and spoke.
"Isn't it hilarious that a genin would defect? Defecting to another village to pick cotton and catch kittens? Don't you think so, Sasuke... uh, Master?"
Boruto grinned when he heard that a genin had defected.
"Um."
The adult Sasuke responded with a sound and turned his head away.
"Naruto, Jiraiya, don't even think about running off to see the women's bathhouse again. I'm giving you two a task: keep an eye on these two while they're in the village, and also act as their tour guides."
Tsunade waved her hand and gave the order.
"What? But I still need to cultivate..."
Naruto looked troubled.
"Where can't you train? Here's what we'll do: if Jiraiya ever dares to use the excuse of going to the red-light district to avoid teaching you again, just tell me, and I'll beat him up for you."
"That's wonderful! Tsunade-sama... uh, the Hokage is truly brilliant!"
Naruto clenched his fist and made a "yeah" gesture.
"Alright, Naruto, you show them around first. Jiraiya, stay behind. I need to teach you how to be a teacher. Shizune, go and call the Third Hokage for me."
Tsunade waved her hand, indicating that the group could leave.
"No!!"
Amid Jiraiya's wailing, Naruto left the Hokage Building with two "performers".
Not long after they left, Naruto was introducing Konoha to the two of them when the older one suddenly disappeared.
Inside the Hokage Building.
Jiraiya thought he was going to get beaten up, but to his surprise, Tsunade did nothing after the others left. She returned to the Hokage's seat and sat down without saying a word until Shizune called Hiruzen Sarutobi over, at which point she began to speak.
"What did you say? Those two were Sasuke Uchiha from the future, and Naruto's son?!"
Jiraiya was completely bewildered.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also in shock.
"That's right, this is the information I got from Orochimaru and that organization."
I didn't tell you before because I wasn't sure if the information was true or false, but today, they actually showed up.
Tsunade rested her chin on her hands and spoke with a serious expression.
"So what should we do now?"
Jiraiya asked.
"That person also said that the enemies of the 'Otsutsuki clan' will also come. The Otsutsuki are the enemies that the two of them will face when they return to our era, and they are also enemies that threaten the ninja world."
That person wanted me to tell them after I discovered the future appearance of Uchiha Sasuke, so they could help me solve the problem…”
Tsunade paused here, slamming her hand on the table, "I'm not prepared to be manipulated and used as a puppet! The Otsutsuki haven't appeared yet, so it's not certain whether they really will be able to do it."
If we inform Amegakure now, what if they are actually planning to deal with the future Uchiha Sasuke?
Compared to the organization Orochimaru joined, and compared to Amegakure, I think we should have more faith in the future Konoha ninja.
They seem to want to keep their identities hidden, probably worried about the impact on their future.
"While I hope you can keep this a secret, try to get some information out of them, such as their true purpose for returning, and the future true identity of that Amegakure ninja."

late at night.
Naruto took Boruto for a walk and then brought him home.
Do you live alone?
"Yes, because I don't have a mom and dad."
"..."
"Well, to welcome you, let me treat you to a big meal."
~
Naruto and Boruto finished their big meal—instant noodles—and turned off the lights to go to sleep.
After chatting for a while, the father and son, who were about the same age, Naruto fell asleep first.
After reflecting on his feelings, Boruto also prepared to go to sleep.
Suddenly, a question came to his mind.
Yesterday, my dad was "attacked" by him and even got an electric shock from Mr. Sasuke. Has he recovered yet?
This is a matter of life and death for him!
Boruto swallowed hard, slowly got up from his makeshift bed, reached for the edge of the bed, and carefully slipped his hand under the covers.
"It seems fine."
Boruto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um?"
Naruto groggily opened his eyes and met Boruto's gaze.
Then, Naruto felt a hand inside his underwear and his eyes widened in surprise.
"ah----------"
