Second visit to Hokage

"Thank you. How have you considered the matter I mentioned before?" Yasuo looked at the adult Sasuke with hopeful eyes and asked softly.

"I can promise you, but I'm not sure what he will do when driven by hatred." Sasuke said expressionlessly.

"I believe he will be able to make a different choice." Yasuo said firmly after a moment of silence.

"Teacher, dad is indeed a legend in the ninja world. He killed Urashiki so easily." Boruto ran up and said with admiration.

"Hehe, it actually doesn't matter. Boruto, you should just call me by my name. You are one year older than me now." Yasuo touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

"This is what I once taught you. The gap in intelligence can determine the outcome of the battle. Fu Shi seriously underestimated Yasuo's ability, so he mistakenly used Huangquan Hirasaka twice in a row and failed to use many moves. Defeated by him," Sasuke said to Boruto, dutifully playing the role of teacher.

Boruto nodded thoughtfully, then tugged on Sasuke's sleeves and asked, "Can we stay here for a little longer? Teacher, I want to see what Konoha Village looks like now."

Sasuke and Yasuo looked at each other and said, "Then we will stay for another three days. During these three days, you and Yasuo can visit Konoha Village. I have other things to do."

Jiraiya interrupted: "I will take you to meet the third generation old man and ask for his permission."

Yasuo sneered and said, "Can I not go?"

Jiraiya looked at him with a smile and said nothing.

"Ugh" Yasuo lowered his head dejectedly and embarked on the path back to Konoha Village.

In the Uchiha house, Yasuo and adult Sasuke were sitting opposite little Sasuke, hearing him ask: "Is this the truth about the genocide?"

"Yes, my brother and Shisui were both pawns sacrificed in the power struggle between the village's senior officials and the clan. In order to protect us, my brother had no choice but to agree to Danzo's request." The adult Sasuke saw his young self subconsciously turning on his emotions due to excitement. The Sharingan revealed the eternal kaleidoscope in the right eye, "The pattern in the center of my right eye was created after transplanting my brother's eye."

"What is your purpose in persuading me to forgive them?" Little Sasuke asked coldly.

"Whatever you choose, we will not interfere. I will not make the mistakes in history again." Yasuo said softly.

"Even if I choose to be the enemy of Konoha"

"As long as you promise not to involve innocent people in your revenge, we will not stop you." Yasuo's bright eyes looked directly into little Sasuke's hateful eyes and said.

"Is it impossible to cure my brother's disease?" Little Sasuke suddenly asked.

"Even twenty years later, his disease is still incurable and terminal." Adult Sasuke replied lonely.

Little Sasuke retracted his previous aggressive expression, no longer suppressing his grief, and allowed tears to fall from his cheeks to the ground.

Yasuo sighed softly, took out two scrolls from his ninja tool bag, and handed them to little Sasuke: "This is the detailed information about Orochimaru's secret research institute collected by Mr. Kakashi. You can talk to him after you leave the village. Together with Itachi, use it as a base. In addition, this is a way to communicate with Zabuza and Shiro, and a letter from me is also attached. If you can gain their trust, they will become your valuable help."

Little Sasuke silently took the scroll and felt the heavy weight in his hands.

"Itachi will come to Konoha Village this afternoon, let's say goodbye then." Yasuo put his right hand on adult Sasuke's back, activated Flying Thunder God, and gave little Sasuke some alone time.

Little Sasuke looked at the direction the two were leaving, dug out the only photo of his family when they were young in the cabinet, and murmured: "Dad, mom, brother." His tears fell silently on the glass in front of the photo.

That afternoon, on the outskirts of Konoha Village, Kakashi unexpectedly met Itachi, who was wearing a red cloud and black robe, and his partner in the Akatsuki organization, Inigaki Kisame.

Kisame Kisaki, who has a bit of shark features on his face, was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen before he betrayed the Kirigakure Village. His broadsword "Samekar" is called the tailless tailed beast. It can absorb chakra from the enemy's ninjutsu, and can also merge with the owner of the sword to enhance his physical fitness in all aspects.

Itachi was the first to speak: "Kakashi-senpai, we meet again."

Kakashi raised his forehead protector, revealing the three Magatama Sharingan: "Ah, it's Itachi. Are you still happy in the life of a rebellious ninja?" As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura emerged from his body. , the three magatama of the Sharingan also began to stretch and wrap around, turning into a beautiful dart-like pattern.

"Mangekyo Sharingan, is this what you rely on?" Kisame sneered.

Kakashi ignored Kisame's provocation, but looked at him with pity and said: "The most pitiful people are those who are about to die without knowing it."

"What do you mean?" Kakashi's words angered Kisame. He drew out his sword, pointed at Kakashi, and asked coldly.

The next moment, a figure wrapped in black flames attacked Kisame among the lightning and flints, easily shattering the Samehada sword and accurately piercing Kisame's heart. Then everyone heard a clear chirping of birds and a cold word: "Jianyu Thunder God."

Itachi raised his head in disbelief, looked at the black figure standing next to Kisame's body, and asked calmly: "Who are you?"

The man in a black windbreaker slowly turned around, his eyes full of vicissitudes of life swept across Itachi's face, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for sixteen years, brother."

Half an hour later, Itachi finished listening to the story told by the adult Sasuke, glanced at Yasuo who was talking softly with little Sasuke and Sakura in the distance, and said with a smile: "In the end, Konoha is on the right track, and you are also happy. I have nothing Sorry."

Adult Sasuke asked: "Brother, do you want to agree to our request?"

Itachi smiled and replied: "I have never rejected you since I was a child." He tilted his head and waved to little Sasuke, "Sasuke, it's time for us to go."

Little Sasuke immediately ran to Itachi's side, raised his head and said, "I've packed my things, brother."

Itachi bent down and said to little Sasuke: "When we leave, we will not only be wanted by the five great ninja villages, but also be regarded as traitors by Akatsuki. Are you mentally prepared to be the enemy of the world?"

Little Sasuke looked back at Yasuo, Kakashi, Sakura and Boruto who were paying attention to them, and said: "This is the only way to get revenge, and it is also the only way to eradicate cancer for Konoha." Under the influence of Yasuo , Sasuke's revenge goal shifted from destroying Konoha Village to "eradicating cancer", which can be regarded as a welcome change.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Itachi asked finally.

Sasuke took off his forehead protector and handed it to Yasuo along with the chunin vest he had just received from the chunin exam: "I won't need these things in the future. You can take them as souvenirs."

Yasuo took the two things and said seriously: "I can only keep them for you temporarily. Promise me that in a few years, you will come and pick them up in person."

Sasuke was stunned for a moment, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay."

Yasuo smiled brightly: "Then, take care along the way, Sasuke. Don't die."

Sakura said, "We will wait for your return, Sasuke."

Kakashi smiled and said: "Let's relax occasionally in the future. Don't be like your brother, who develops nasolabial folds at a young age."

Boruto also waved and said: "After nineteen years, don't forget to accept me as your disciple, teacher."

Little Sasuke looked at the earnest faces, made up his mind, took Itachi's hand, turned around and disappeared into the dense woods with him.

"Have I made the right choice?" Yasuo's tone revealed hesitation.

"The guy I know would never ask such a question." Adult Sasuke replied calmly.

That night, Kakashi returned to the village with the body of Kisame Ingakaki and claimed that Konoha rebel Uchiha Itachi had injured him and kidnapped Sasuke Uchiha, while he had killed his ally Kisame Ingakaki. After listening to his report, the Sandaime Hokage gave him a sharp reprimand, but did not impose any substantial punishment. He just issued an order to the ANBU to find Sasuke.

"It seems that the third generation grandfather did not doubt you." After listening to Kakashi's words, Yasuo picked up a cup of tea and said calmly.

"Yes, but I think his energy is getting worse and worse now. If Jiraiya-senpai refuses to agree to succeed as Hokage, the only choice is to find Tsunade-sama to succeed him." Kakashi sighed.

"The Lustful Sento and I will go looking for her soon and strive to successfully complete the handover between the third and fifth generation Hokage, and not give those guys the chance to covet the position of Hokage." Yasuo said with a chuckle.

"You don't have to worry about it. This time Sunagakure was caught by us and was forced to give up their plan to collapse Konoha and re-concluded a peace treaty. The prestige of the Third Generation is no longer comparable to that of Danzo and others. "Kakashi suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Moreover, I also found out that some people in the ANBU may be colluding with Sunagakure and others."

The anger flashed across Yasuo's face and he said coldly: "These people are really restless. Kakashi-sensei, have you found any definite evidence?"

Kakashi nodded silently.

"Then let's take action when I return from training in three years. Grandma Tsunade's position should be stable by then." Yasuo's tone was a little apologetic, "I know Kakashi-sensei doesn't like these things. But you’ve been running around for me these past few days, and I’m really sorry.”

Kakashi rubbed his blond hair and said: "I am also a member of Konoha Village, and I don't want it to become a victim of some people's personal ambitions. Besides, it is only natural for teachers to help students."

Yasuo closed his eyes and said softly: "Thank you, Kakashi-sensei."

Two days later, in the dense forest on the outskirts of Konoha Village, Yasuo, Minato and Kushina were saying their final farewells to Boruto and Sasuke.

"When you go home, listen more to your parents and let them worry less, got it?" Minato touched Boruto's head and warned.

"I got it, Grandpa." Boruto was very sensible and didn't find it annoying.

"I have prepared three small gifts for you." Boruto and Sasuke noticed that Yasuo's eyes were bloodshot.

"This small scroll is for you, Sasuke. It contains three seals that allow you to use the ability to foresee the future. It should be useful to you as you travel around ruins all day long."

"These books are for you, Boruto. Your father is an idiot and cannot learn the sealing technique, but you should not forget the Uzumaki clan's specialty."

"There is also an image recorded using illusion in this crystal ball. It can be regarded as fulfilling one of his wishes." Yasuo handed the gift he had carefully prepared to the two people who traveled through the timeline.

"Cherish it all the way." Yasuo saw the two of them put away their gifts, a warm smile appeared on his face, and then he activated the Flying Thunder God and left.

After Boruto and Sasuke returned to their own timeline, Sasuke asked Boruto to return home to report to Hinata that he was safe, and he immediately reported the situation of the trip to the seventh-generation Hokage Uzumaki Yasuo.

"I hope you come back safely." The adult Yasuo said with a smile.

"He also has a gift for you." Sasuke took out the crystal ball in his arms, input chakra, and activated the image inside.

It shows Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Jiraiya and Boruto talking and laughing together. Finally, Yasuo heard his childhood voice coming from outside the screen: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Minato said kindly: "Don't imitate me in the future, just be a good father."

Kushina put her hands on her hips and said: "I have seen my daughter-in-law when she was a child. She is a quiet and good girl. You must love her well, do you hear me?"

Finally, Jiraiya smiled and said, "You did a great job. I'm extremely proud to have a student like you."

The scene stopped abruptly at this moment. Yasuo stared blankly into the void. After a long time, he calmed down and asked, "What kind of person is he?"

When Sasuke heard this question again, the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc: "On the surface, he looks exactly like you at that time;"

"Looking deeper, he is more thoughtful than you, is far more powerful than you at the same time, and has a more mature and calm personality."

"But in essence, he is exactly the same as you. He is a rare idiot in the world who never looks back until he hits the wall."

"Really? Haha, that's great." Yasuo put down his Hokage hat, with a sincere smile on his clear-cut face.
