Chapter 452: Assassination from another Tiline
A groan escaped Sasuke’s mouth as he opened his eyes.
“Are you okay, Sasuke-san?”
“Urgh, not at all.”
Sasuke slowly stood up while curiously looking around. He sighed in relief when he realized that he was back in his own tiline.
“Thank god, we made it. No, it’s too early to say that. There is still sothing I need to find out!”
Sasuke jumped towards the Hokage Tower without a second of hesitation, leaving a dumbfounded Boruto behind.
‘Please don’t be here. Please don’t be here. Please don’t be here.’
Sasuke chanted those words repeatedly as he entered Naruto’s office and saw Naruto.
“Oh, there you are, Sa…”
Before Naruto could finish speaking, Sasuke appeared before him and put his hands on Naruto’s shoulders while looking him in the eyes.
“Naruto, this is very important. You must answer my next question 100% truthfully, okay?”
Naturally, Naruto was confused by Sasuke’s weird behavior, but he nonetheless nodded his head in acknowledgnt.
“Sure, what do you want to know?”
“Do you have a big sister, Naruto?”
Question marks appeared above Naruto’s head when he heard Sasuke’s question.
‘Why would he ask such a weird question with such a serious tone? Especially a question he already knows the answer to.’
“Not sure why you’re asking that, but no, I don’t have a big sister.”
Sasuke’s lips quivered for a mont as his knees fell to the ground, and tears of happiness threatened to flow out of his eyes.
“Thank god I made it back properly. I managed to get away from her.”
Even more question marks appeared above Naruto’s head, but before he could say anything else, so markings on Sasuke’s shoulder started glowing, causing Sasuke’s face to go pale instantly.
“No, no, NO, THIS CAN’T BE. PLEASE TELL IT’S NOT TRUE!!! SHE WON’T BE COMING HERE, RIGHT!? SHE WON’T!!!”
“S-Sasuke, calm down. Tell what’s going on.”
The seals glowing intensified, causing Sasuke’s panic attack to beco even more pronounced. He was just about to cut his own shoulder to forcefully disable the seal when the seal stopped glowing and activated.
*Splat* x2
“WHAT THE HELL!?”
Naruto and Sasuke both got a cake in their faces, and while Naruto imdiately exclaid in bewildernt, Sasuke didn’t react in the slightest at first. However…
“Hehehe…”
… monts later, eery chuckling left Sasuke’s mouth, creeping Naruto out quite a bit.
“Sasuke, tell what’s going on already!”
“… hahaha…”
Instead of answering Naruto, Sasuke’s chuckling turned into laughter.
“SASUKE!!!”
“HAHAHAHAHA!!!
And finally, Sasuke started laughing out loud like a mad man.
“What the hell happened to you, Sasuke?”
When Naruto realized that Sasuke’s mind was currently sowhere else, he gave up rushing Sasuke for answers while helplessly shaking his head.
“Whatever, I guess I’ll just have to wait until he calms down.”
Around a minute later, Sasuke stopped laughing and stood up with a calm expression. However, Naruto imdiately could tell that there was sothing slightly different about Sasuke.
‘He feels… more relaxed and free. Like a burden that was plaguing him is suddenly gone. I really wonder what significance that cake held. However, he has blood all over his clothes, this must have been a very difficult fight.’
Before Naruto could ask any questions, Sasuke started reporting what he had gone through in the past three days.
“I had a big sister!?”
Naturally, this was the first thing that surprised Naruto about the different tiline. He doesn’t have any siblings, and he really would like to know what it was like to have a big sister.
Sasuke continued his tale and reached the next point in the report that got a reaction from Naruto.
“Hinata is part of my big sister’s harem!?”
Sasuke simply nodded his head while secretly enjoying Naruto’s surprised reactions.
“You might want to talk to Boruto about that. He saw them making out.”
Naruto facepald as a groan escaped his mouth.
“Damn, why did that happen? That’s really unlucky.”
Sasuke’s eyes beca empty when he heard Naruto’s words.
“There was no bad luck involved.”
“Huh?”
Naruto was surprised by what Sasuke said, but when he saw his empty eyes, he decided not to ask any questions.
Sasuke recovered a few seconds later and continued talking. He talked about the Uzumaki compound and about the different fates of all kinds of people. And then, he told him about the other tiline’s Naruto.
“Ino and Haku!? What the hell!? Wait a mont, wasn’t Haku male!?”
Sasuke nodded his head and looked at Naruto with a sowhat judgental gaze causing Naruto to frown. He wondered why Sasuke was looking at him like that, and his eyes widened when he realized the reason.
“Nonono, don’t look at like that. Whatever weird plays the other is into has nothing to do with !”
Sasuke coughed awkwardly, averted his gaze, and resud talking about what he had experienced. After talking about the Uzumaki clan compounds seals, Naruto confird that he had indeed never tried out learning sealing arts and said that he would give it a try.
Finally, Sasuke talked about the fight against Urashiki, and Naruto couldn’t help but be surprised by the ridiculous skills that were on display. He was especially amazed by the skill Hinata showed, as her strength in this tiline was far from that overwhelming.
Naturally, there was another point that bewildered Naruto greatly.
“Why can she use ice?”
“No clue, but when I asked her the sa question, she answered: If I couldn’t use it, no one could. No idea what that ans.”
Naruto slumped into his chair and sighed in relief.
“At least there were no causalities this ti.”
Sasuke’s eyebrow started twitching like crazy when he heard Naruto’s words.
‘No causalities?! NO CAUSALITIES!? WHAT ABOUT MY SANITY!? IT WAS TORN TO SHREDS AGAIN AND AGIN WITHOUT A HINT OF RCY!!! ISN’T THAT A CAUSALITY!?’
Although those thoughts rampaged through Sasuke’s head, he didn’t say anything and simply nodded his head. After chatting a bit longer, Sasuke’s left the Hokage Tower.
While Sasuke was walking through Konoha, he coincidently t the person he was looking for.
“Kakashi, I’ve been looking for you.”
“Mhh?”
When Kakashi heard Sasuke calling him, he only humd in acknowledgnt and continued to read a small book, causing Sasuke to roll his eyes.
He flicked his wrist, causing a stack of books to appear in his hand.
“I was asked to give these to you.”
Kakashi looked up from his book and looked at what Sasuke held with disinterest. Monts later, his eyes sharpened, and he snatched the books from Sasuke’s hand, put most of them and the one he was reading into his holster, and started reading one of the new ones.
“Thanks.”
Sasuke was utterly dumbfounded by what just happened. He knew Kakashi was pretty fast, but this was just ridiculous. He actually moved so quickly that even Sasuke couldn’t react to it.
‘What are these books?’
anwhile, Boruto had just returned ho and was currently taking off his shoes. While doing so, a small seal on his shoulder briefly lit up without Boruto noticing.
“Oh? You are back, Boruto.”
Boruto sighed in relief when he heard his mother’s voice. He had half expected Yuna to pop up sohow.
“I’m back, kaa-san.”
Boruto gazed at his mother, and monts later, the image of Yuna slapping Hinata on the butt while sinking her tongue into Hinata’s mouth flashed through his mind, causing his face to flush crimson.
Hinata noticed Boruto’s flushed face and imdiately beca worried.
“Boruto, your face is all flushed. Do you have a fever?”
Hinata grabbed Naruto’s cheeks softly and held her forehead against his, causing Boruto to get even more flustered.
“K-Kaa-san, p-please stop; I’m fine.”
“Mhh, at least you have no fever. Please tell if you are feeling unwell, Boruto.”
“Okay, I will do so.”
Hinata nodded her head in satisfaction before turning around and walking into the living room, closely followed by Boruto. The mont Boruto entered the room, he froze in place.
A mature beauty with long crimson hair and blue streaks sat on the couch with a lazy expression.
“I-Impossible.”
When the woman saw Hinata, she smiled and walked toward her. Without a second of hesitation, she gave Hinata’s butt a crisp smack and a deep kiss.
At first, Hinata was enjoying herself, but she quickly realized her situation and pushed the woman away.
“Y-Yuna, not in front of the kids.”
“Hehe, isn’t it fine~ It’s just a little kissing.”
‘WHY IS SHE HERE!?’
Seeing what happened in front of him, Boruto’s mind took quite a lot of damage, and he was already swaying a little while a trickle of blood was oozing out of the corner of his mouth.
A few seconds later, a cute little girl entered the room and hugged Hinata.
“Kaa-san, I want to help you with cooking.”
“Haha, of course, Himawari.”
Then, the little girl let go of Hinata and hugged Yuna instead.
“Can you cook with kaa-san and , Yuna kaa-san?”
Yuna happily pattered her head as a big smile appeared on her face.
“Of course, I will do it if my little girl wants to.”
Then, Yuna’s eyes landed on Boruto, causing a chill to go down his spine.
“How about you help as well, son.”
‘Son.’
That single word repeatedly reverberated in Boruto’s head until it was too much for him.
“NOOOOO!!!”
He fell to his knees, coughed out so blood, and then fainted.
Around five minutes later, Hinata found an unconscious Boruto in the entrance hall. She instantly noticed that he seed to be under the influence of a genjutsu, which she quickly canceled with a worried expression on her face.
‘Why would soone put Boruto under genjutsu and then leave him here? It’s almost like so did that just to ss with him. How weird.’
