Chapter 289. Adult Sasuke and Boruto. Neji: The blond family's genes are really powerful.
In Konoha, a flash of light streaked across the sky, and two figures descended from the heavens.
"what--!"
With a wail, a blond-haired brat slammed his head against the ground.
Beside him was a man wearing a black cloak and sporting a black spiky hairstyle.
The man in the black cloak had striking purple Rinnegan with six tomoe.
"Are you alright, Boruto?"
"I'm fine."
The kid called Boruto got up from the ground and rubbed his neck.
Fortunately, he inherited his father and mother's extraordinary physique, so he was fine. If it were an ordinary person, hitting the ground headfirst from that height would probably have broken their neck and killed them on the spot.
"Master Sasuke, where are we?"
Sasuke shook his head.
"I'm not quite sure either, but this area looks familiar. Let's walk a bit further and we'll find out. Can you still walk?"
"no problem."
The two walked forward and soon passed through the grove of trees and arrived at the hillside.
Looking around, a village came into view. On the opposite cliff, several huge human heads were carved into the mountainside. That was the landmark of Konoha, the Hokage Rock.
"That's the Hokage Rock! But why are there only four heads on it?"
"It seems we've gone back in time."
"Go back to the past?"
Boruto was taken aback, then his eyes widened as he spoke.
"Master Sasuke, do you mean we've gone back to the past, just like in the novels!"
"Well, as for the specifics of this matter, we'll have to have this guy explain it."
As he spoke, Sasuke took out the treasure weapon, the pike, which he had stolen from Urashiki Otsutsuki. It was a small pink turtle.
"Warning, warning! Due to the battle, the pre-set target location has shifted. The final arrival timeline is Konoha Year 61, during the reign of the Fourth Hokage."
"Sure enough."
Seeing that everything was as he had imagined, Sasuke roughly understood what was going on.
Urashiki Otsutsuki wanted to steal the Nine-Tails' chakra, but he was no match for them in the future, so he took over this little turtle in an attempt to go back in time and steal the Nine-Tails' chakra from Naruto.
However, due to their previous battle, their coordinates shifted, and they ended up in this time and space.
"Then, little turtle, where did Otsutsuki Urara go? He fell out of the energy field, did he get transported to another dimension?"
Li said with dissatisfaction.
"I am not a little turtle, nor a little tortoise. I have a name. I am called Li, the treasure Li."
Lord Urashiki fell before we arrived in this timeline; according to calculations, he should have traveled to a period in the past that is somewhat later than ours.
"You mean Ōtsutsuki Urashiki is also coming, but he'll arrive a few days later than us, right?"
"Yes."
The little turtle nodded, then gave a reminder.
"Warning, warning! Time travel is a matter of great importance, involving timeline issues. You are forbidden from revealing time travel to anyone outside of your circle, and you are forbidden from altering past events to affect the future."
Otherwise, the consequences will be extremely serious!
Hearing the little turtle's warning, Sasuke thought of someone, someone who couldn't be judged by common sense, someone who had influenced the past, present, and future of the ninja world.
"What if someone who knows the past, present, and future discovers us?"
This sentence made Li's CPU burn out. Does someone who knows the past, present, and future really exist? If such a person does exist, then time travel would be nothing more than child's play to him.
Seeing that the little turtle was silent, Sasuke stopped thinking about it and put the little turtle away.
"Let's go, Boruto, we're going to see someone."
"Who are we going to see? We're going to see someone who knows the past, present, and future. He should have already foreseen our arrival."
"Huh? Really?"
Boruto was somewhat surprised. Did such a person really exist? Why didn't he know about it? The books never mentioned that there was such a person in the ninja world.
However, he had heard that the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku was said to be able to predict the future.
After disguising themselves, Sasuke and Boruto entered Konoha Village directly.
"Sigh~! This is the old Konoha Village. It feels so different."
Boruto looked around like a curious child.
When passing by roadside stalls, he couldn't help but go up and take a look, only to be pulled away by Sasuke.
"Master Sasuke, so mobile payment wasn't popular in Konoha back then. I don't see anyone using a mobile phone on the street."
"What did you learn in your history class? Didn't the textbook tell you that Konoha Village only started reforms and introduced cell phones and the internet after the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, took office?"
"Ah! That seems to be the case, I forgot."
"Alright, stop wandering around, or you'll give yourself away."
"Okay, Master, I understand."
Boruto obediently stayed by Sasuke's side.
The two walked through the bustling streets of Konoha and entered the villa area.
Just as they crossed an intersection, the two saw a boy with disdainful eyes standing there waiting for them.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Sasuke from the future."
"Ah! Uncle!"
Boruto recognized the Byakugan-wielding boy in front of him as his uncle, Hyuga Neji.
Neji glanced at Boruto and couldn't help but make a comment.
"Boruto, right? He looks just like Naruto. The blond-haired family's genes are really strong; he didn't inherit any of our Hyuga family's features."
Sasuke asked the question directly.
"Did Lord Chiba send you?"
Neji nodded.
"Yes, your master is already waiting for you, as are the two ancestors of your Uchiha clan. They are getting quite impatient."
Sasuke thought of the two ancestors of the Uchiha clan, and his expression changed slightly, clearly recalling some unpleasant things.
"I understand. Take us there."
"Master Sasuke, Uncle, the ancestors of the Uchiha clan you're talking about, could it be those two?"
Boruto was somewhat excited. In his era, there was a group of powerful individuals who stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, leading the entire ninja world in reform, overthrowing the old system, and bringing peace to all the people of the ninja world.
The two ancestors of the Uchiha clan were among those top-tier powerhouses.
Neji looked at Boruto, thought for a moment, and said.
"If Master doesn't revive other powerful members of the Uchiha clan in the future, then it should be those two you mentioned. But whether that's true or not, we'll find out by going and seeing for ourselves."
As he spoke, Neji turned around and waved.
"Let's go, try not to contact other people to avoid unnecessary impact on the future."
"I understand, Boruto, let's go."
