🎊Happy New year 🎊
Big Sasuke heard Little Sasuke's complaints and shook his head silently.
This kid really doesn't understand. Even if he won that battle against Naruto at the Valley of the End, that didn't an he would've married Sakura.
But honestly… Sasuke didn't regret marrying her.
Sure, Sakura was violent—but that side was never aid at him. Toward him, she was always as gentle as flowing water. He knew that deeply.
Even though he spent most of the year away from the village, overseeing and eliminating rogue threats across the shinobi world, Sakura raised Sarada all on her own. It saved him a lot of worry. Honestly, he felt like he owed both of them more than he could repay.
Falling in love after marriage wasn't such a bad thing.
Still… the him in this world was just too young to understand that.
Itachi furrowed his brow and fixed Little Sasuke with a stern look.
"Sasuke! How could you say sothing like that?"
"Sure, Sakura bullies Naruto sotis—but when has she ever bullied you? Think about how she'd feel if she heard you say that! How could you hurt her like that?"
But in truth, another thought flickered through Itachi's mind.
Sasuke, you little brat... If you make my precious niece cry, I'll kill you with my own hands.
Fugaku, standing nearby, calmly joined in and looked at Little Sasuke with a firm gaze.
"Sasuke, your mother and I actually wanted to have another child after Itachi. We were hoping for a girl."
"I want a granddaughter."
"And besides, Sakura is going to beco an excellent dical ninja. The Uchiha Clan has always lacked in dical proficiency. Doesn't that make her the perfect match? What is it that you're not satisfied with?"
Fugaku's tone was matter-of-fact, but to Little Sasuke, it felt like the wedding had already been arranged without him.
Boruto, standing to the side, casually threw his arm around Little Sasuke's shoulders with a smirk and chid in.
"Lord Fugaku's totally right. Sakura's the disciple of Lady Tsunade~"
"Her dical skills are basically top-tier in the entire shinobi world."
After Boruto's comnt, Mikoto and Fugaku looked even more pleased. Their resolve to make Sakura their daughter-in-law had only grown stronger.
At that mont, Itachi suddenly turned toward Uchiha Hikaru.
"Deputy Clan Leader Hikaru, what do you think?"
Hikaru, who had been sipping tea with his right hand while absentmindedly playing with Saya's hair with his left, felt like he'd just been hit by a Genjutsu.
"…I understand. You just want Tsunade to take Sakura as her apprentice, right? That's not a problem."
"I can talk to Tsunade for her. But whether Sakura can pass her test and beco her disciple—that's up to her."
Itachi, Mikoto, and Fugaku all nodded in satisfaction.
Just then, Big Sasuke's resistance seed to waver slightly. A hint of doubt crept into his eyes.
Could it be… that I really do live a happy life with Sakura in the future?
No. My marriage should be my choice. I have to be cautious!
If I don't like it by then, I'll just run away from the wedding!
Big Sasuke glanced at Little Sasuke's expression and imdiately saw through what he was thinking.
Hmph. Run away from marriage? You think I didn't want to? But Konoha would never let the Uchiha bloodline die out. If it hadn't been for Naruto and Sakura personally vouching for , I'd probably still be rotting in Konoha's prison.
Alas… Sakura wasn't a kid anymore after that. Why can't this brat understand? After following Tsunade and learning dical ninjutsu, there's no way she'd still be the sa childish girl.
Just when everyone thought the after-al conversation had ended, Little Sasuke's eyes lit up as if rembering sothing important.
Wait a second… Boruto's standing right next to . Then who's his mom? Who did Naruto marry? I can't be the only one getting teased today. I need to know who Naruto ends up with too!
"Hey, disciple. Who's your mother? Who did Naruto marry in your ti?"
Boruto answered casually, without even thinking.
"My mom's Hinata."
The mont those words left his mouth, the hair on Saya's back began to float upward unnaturally, and a terrifying chakra surged from her body, crashing toward Boruto like a tidal wave.
"…Who did you say it was?"
Boruto was so startled he tumbled off his chair, landing painfully on his butt.
"Hina…ta."
Saya's eyes narrowed. Sothing felt seriously off. She had seen that Hinata girl before—she'd always been so respectful and kind to Uchiha Hikaru.
How the hell did she end up married to Naruto instead?
"This punk must be lying! Born-evil Uzumaki Brat, I swear I'll—"
"Saya, don't just release chakra like that. This child isn't from our world. He's talking about a different tiline."
Saya froze at Uchiha Hikaru's voice. The chakra pressure faded instantly. She pressed her lips together, wrapped herself around Hikaru's arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder, holding him tightly.
"…I understand, Master Hikaru. I won't release chakra again."
Boruto stared at the scene, completely baffled. Even though he knew this version of Saya didn't know him, and looked way older than the one from his own tiline, it still felt strange.
Why do I suddenly have to call her "Sister Saya"…?
How did I drop a whole generation in rank like that? She's terrifying…
Sasuke watched the entire exchange, an odd sense of déjà vu creeping over him.
This scene… it felt exactly like that mont when the reincarnated Hashirama and Tobirama confronted him.
The mory surfaced unbidden.
"You Uchiha brat born evil—I'll kill you myself!" (raises index finger)
"Tobirama, put your finger down!" (stomps)
(In the middle of the night, the author sat in bed clutching their phone, sobbing as their weekly duel arena rank dropped again. The phone glowed with the word: Defeat. The enemy lineup: Impure World Third Hokage, Impure World Madara, Secret Technique: Gate of the Great God, Tyrant Physique, Chakra Boost, Summoned Toad Dragon, Gamakichi, and Shukaku.)
"You're right," Sasuke said quietly. "In our world, there's no Uchiha Hikaru. And…"
His gaze swept toward Itachi, Mikoto, and Fugaku.
Fugaku narrowed his eyes. He understood imdiately.
"In your tiline… we're all already dead, aren't we?"
Sasuke lowered his head.
"…Yes, Father."
The room fell into silence. Even Little Sasuke lost the desire to tease Boruto anymore.
His gaze darkened. Then he suddenly jumped up, stepped on the table, and grabbed Big Sasuke's collar with one hand. His Sharingan spun into a 2.5-tomoe pattern, eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"Who is it? Who killed you? Tell ! I'll kill them!!!"
The sheer intensity of killing intent pouring out of Little Sasuke's body stunned everyone. Even Itachi felt a deep, dangerous aura radiating from him.
In all his years, he had never seen his younger brother this full of rage.
Who the hell would dare take away his family?
Big Sasuke t his gaze. Then he turned to Itachi beside him—and silently activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
"I… I don't know how to say it."
"I'll show you everything through Genjutsu."
"Tsukuyomi."
