Naruto hodgepodge

At the same time that Naruto unlocked the seal and released the nameless girl, a completely different chapter of history was quietly unfolding in a parallel time and space numbered 996. This was the end of the Ninja Warring States Period, a time and space that was similar to Naruto's world but also very different.

In this land that has not yet been unified into the Land of Fire, the wheel of fate of the two major ninja clans, the Senju and Uchiha clans, quietly turns. Senju Hashirama, the future legendary ninja, celebrates his second birthday. At the same time, Uchiha Madara, his mortal enemy, also welcomes a new family member at the tender age of two - their younger brothers are born.

In this land full of unknowns and disputes, it will become the border between the Kingdom of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind in the future. There is a special girl, who is almost the same person as the nameless girl in Naruto's time and space, but the difference is that she is three years older. She is standing alone on the top of a towering cliff, looking through the mountains and gazing at the distant sky. An indescribable feeling surges in her heart, as if there are fragments from another world, slowly piecing together in the depths of her consciousness, weaving scenes of stories that are both strange and familiar. These scenes, like broken mirrors, reflect a world that is completely different from the reality she knows, making her full of infinite curiosity and reverie about the unknown "other world".

Deep in the parallel time and space numbered 995, it is now the 83rd year of Konoha, in a forgotten hidden corner - the base that Orochimaru once abandoned. This place has now become a new world for Boruto Otsutsuki to practice. "Information Jiraiya" Kashin Koshi is standing beside Boruto, guiding Boruto's practice with his deep eyes and calm tone.

"Flying Thunder God Jutsu..." Boruto muttered in a low voice, his eyes flashing with longing for his ancestors, "This is the signature ninjutsu of my grandfather, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Nowadays, it seems that only Uncle Genma Shiranui and a few others still master this skill. But it is almost impossible to learn the tricks from them..." There was a hint of helplessness and frustration in his words.

Upon hearing this, Guoxin Jushi raised a mysterious smile, his eyes seemed to contain the infinite wisdom of the universe. "The 'Ten Directions' magic that I awakened allowed me to glimpse countless future timelines. In those pictures, you finally mastered this art, and you didn't learn it from them. Don't forget, there is also its creator - the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Now, I will use the power of the 'Ten Directions' to allow you to enter a specific timeline, and before that time and space disappear, you will directly study with the Second Hokage."

Boruto heard this, his face was full of surprise and expectation. "Is this...really possible? Going back to the past? Wouldn't this affect our current timeline?" His words revealed awe of the unknown power.

Master Guoxin shook his head slightly, a hint of uncertainty flashing in his eyes. "Probably not. This is not real time travel, but an imaginary space constructed based on our timeline, a mapping of possibilities. Just like I can foresee countless futures, but those futures are not destined to happen. This space is more like a mirror of our timeline, more like a parallel world that does not really exist."

Boruto's worries were slightly reduced when he heard this, and his eyes became more determined. "That's right, if the past can be easily changed, it would be incredible. I'm ready, Master. I want to learn space ninjutsu as soon as possible, wake up Kawaki, and get the thing called Thorn Soul you mentioned to rescue Master!" His words were full of determination and belief, and then he sat in the center surrounded by a pile of strange runes, ready to welcome a new journey of training.

A burst of strong light and fantastic space-time fluctuations suddenly erupted, enveloping Boruto's entire body. His figure gradually blurred in the light, and finally disappeared completely, as if swallowed by the vortex of time and space, and went to the distant past, looking for the traces of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. When the light dissipated, Goshin stared blankly at the empty rune array in front of him, frowning, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

"It should have been just the consciousness that entered the virtual timeline, why did even the body disappear?" Master Guoxin muttered to himself, his eyes wandering in the empty base, trying to find any clues that could explain this phenomenon. His heart was filled with confusion and uneasiness. This unexpected situation made him realize that perhaps the power of the "Ten Directions" magic was far more complicated and dangerous than he understood.

At the same time, in the Warring States Period of another time and space, Boruto unexpectedly descended into a brand new world - Parallel Time and Space No. 995, where Tobirama Senju was just born. Boruto opened his eyes and found himself standing on a steep cliff, surrounded by vast land and mountains, the sky was a strange blue, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Boruto was stunned for a moment, then realized that he might have traveled through time and space and came to the era of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Just as he was trying to sort out his thoughts and understand where he was, a soft sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts. Turning around, he saw a girl in Uchiha clan clothes slowly walking towards him. She was the girl who was sitting on the cliff just now.

"The girl's clothes are the same as those of Master Sasuke and Sarada. She should be from the Uchiha clan. In this era... it seems that the Senju and Uchiha have been fighting all the time," Boruto said thoughtfully as he looked at the Uchiha girl walking towards him.

"Are you Boruto?" the girl asked. Her voice was surprised and excited. It was obvious that she was very familiar with Boruto. "Those blue eyes, there's no doubt about it... After three years, I finally see you again?"

Boruto took a deep breath and thought, "Why? According to the monk, this space should be the Warring States Period created by the history of my time and space. Why does she know me? Is there something wrong? This time and space is obviously wrong. Oops, I don't know how to go back. This world is obviously wrong."

The girl saw Boruto ignoring her and talking to himself and thought sadly, "Boruto... have you really forgotten me?"

Boruto felt that this world seemed to be false and wrong, and began to call out loudly: "Master, Master, can you hear me? This world seems to be wrong, please send me back."

"Boruto, what's wrong with you? There's no one else here." The nameless girl looked at Boruto's inexplicable call and asked quickly, worried that Boruto might be stupid.

Boruto was sure that the monk was not there. After hearing what the nameless girl said, he calmed down and began to think: "The purpose of the monk sending me here is to find the Second Hokage to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. The time will not be too long but not too short. I should go find the Second Hokage as soon as possible... She is a mortal enemy of the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, so she should know him. Let's ask her first..."

"Hello, my name is Boruto, and I come from the future. I don't know why the person I met when I just arrived is you, but I think this should be the place near the Land of Fire in the Land of Wind. I now need to find the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and learn the Flying Thunder God Technique." Boruto said sincerely to the girl.

The nameless girl's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. It undoubtedly solved the mystery for her. So you are from the future. Is this the reason why you suddenly left after saying goodbye? She immediately fell into deep thought, but she could feel the sincerity and eagerness in Boruto's words, so she decided to lend a helping hand.

"The Second Hokage... I haven't heard of him, but Tobirama Senju... I do know the Senju clan, but I don't recognize this name." The nameless girl said slowly. Although she really wanted to help Boruto, she didn't know the names of not only the Senju clan but also the Uchiha clan. She didn't recognize many of the names.

"You are from the Uchiha clan, right? You and the Senju clan are enemies. You may not recognize me just by looking at my name. Wait a minute." Boruto took out a notebook and a pen from his bag and prepared to draw a portrait.

"What are you going to do? What a beautiful notebook! Is this something from the future?" The nameless girl looked at Boruto's actions curiously.

"Yes, it is a product of my era." Boruto replied to the nameless girl and began to seriously draw the portrait of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

"No, it feels weird. Oh, that iconic one..." Boruto frowned as he drew. "Damn, it's really hard to do something I'm not good at, I wish I was here. Sorry, could you wait a moment..."

"Ah, it's okay, as long as I can help Boruto," the nameless girl said to Boruto anxiously.

Boruto continued to paint. The nameless girl looked at the injury on Boruto's right eye and couldn't help asking, "Boruto, what's wrong with your right eye? Did something happen?"

"It seems like she knows a lot about me. It's strange, why do people in the past know me, but the future me has no impression of me at all." Boruto wondered. "Ah, the eye? Nothing, I accidentally got hurt while fighting with my brother."

"Really? You're such an awkward brother." The nameless girl saw that Boruto didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't plan to ask any more questions. She just stood aside and watched Boruto paint.

After a while, Boruto finally finished the portrait and showed it to the nameless girl. "Have you seen this person?"

The nameless girl looked at the portrait of the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama, with white hair and began to frown: "Hmm..."

Boruto looked at the nameless girl's expression and asked hurriedly, "This person should be very famous. He is the genius ninja of the Senju clan, Tobirama Senju, who has developed countless forbidden techniques and will become the second generation Hokage in the future."

The nameless girl was quite familiar with this person. It was a memory that inexplicably came into her mind when she was deep in thought not long ago. She only remembered that this white-haired boy seemed to say to her, "The evil Uchiha brat..."

Boruto looked at the nameless girl in deep thought and continued to ask anxiously: "How is it? Do you have an impression..."

The nameless girl had only seen this person from her inexplicable memory. Seeing Boruto approaching, she quickly stepped back in shame and waved her hands, saying, "No... I don't know this person, I haven't seen him... Sorry, Boruto."

Boruto looked at the portrait. Apart from the iconic silver hair, the rest of the features seemed far from the image of the Second Hokage in his memory. He couldn't help but doubt himself: "Can you please wait a little longer? There must be something wrong with my drawing. Could it be that the timeline is wrong?"

The nameless girl quietly observed Boruto's every move, thinking to herself: "The person Boruto drew should be the one who appeared in his mind just now. Should I tell him the truth? But I don't have any memory of this person. Even in the battle memories buried deep in the weapons era, I have never seen such a figure in the past battles with the Senju clan."

Boruto kept writing, filling up the paper one by one. He repeatedly asked the nameless girl beside him: "Is this one closer?" "How about this one?"

The girl responded gently: "Your painting skills are getting better and better, but I really have no idea."

As the night fell, the entire album was almost full. Boruto finally sighed, feeling frustrated: It's over, it seems like this trip was in vain, I don't know when the monk will be able to send me back.

"Thank you for staying with me for so long. I'm sorry to bother you, but it's getting late and you should go back early." Boruto said to the girl who had always been very gentle to him.

The girl smiled and shook her head, then sat on the grass next to Boruto and said softly, "It's okay, you will leave sooner or later, just like before, I will just stay with Boruto. I was able to escape from that place thanks to Boruto, without you I would not have the courage to leave there."

Boruto frowned when he heard this, his doubts evident in his words: "What on earth is going on? I have been wanting to ask you if you recognized the wrong person. I live in the distant future. Besides, I have no memories of having had any contact with you. I am not in the same future as this time and space, and the flow of time is irreversible and no one can easily change it."

Boruto looked at the nameless girl carefully, and the girl looked into Boruto's eyes generously, with determination flashing in her eyes: "I understand your confusion. You may have lost your memory, or you may not be the Boruto I met directly in my memory, but you share the same soul. My intuition will not deceive me. Maybe, just like what timeline you said, I met you from another timeline."

Boruto was touched by these words, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart, as if he had an indissoluble bond with the girl, and being with this girl always seemed to reveal a familiar feeling.

Boruto then remembered that he had not asked the other person's name, which seemed very rude. Realizing his negligence, he quickly apologized and asked: "I'm so sorry, I'm so rude. You know my name, but I don't know yours. Can you tell me your name and the story between you and the Boruto in your memory?"

The girl looked at Boruto's sincere eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She slowly said: "For a long time, I have been alone, living in endless darkness. I was not regarded as a human being by everyone, but was used as a weapon. Until that Boruto appeared, he not only regarded me as a partner, but also wanted to save me sincerely. It was not a whim, and he did not regard me as a weapon, but proved his determination with his actions. He went through many difficulties and rescued me from the abyss of despair, giving me freedom and a new life, making me feel the value of existence for the first time. When we parted, he told me my name - Guang, Uchiha Guang, which is the real name my parents gave me, symbolizing hope and light. Tell me that the ninja world is also full of hope, he will always cheer for me, let me live well in a new place, under the sun!"

Uchiha Hikaru looked at Boruto with a gentle gaze: "I have always remembered his words of encouragement to me. Since that day, I have never seen Boruto again. I don't know where Boruto came from until I met you again today. I can finally convey to you the joy and happiness of walking on the path of my own destiny."

----------------

Naruto looked at the girl in front of him who looked a bit like Sasuke, with a pretty face but empty eyes. Her answer seemed to be full of hatred and despair for the world, as if the whole world had lost its color and meaning to her. This kind of problem child who was abused since childhood actually became the artifact she thought she was. It is not easy to get out of the darkness after such a long time. Naruto couldn't help but feel pity and an urge to warm her up. "Do you really have no name? Should I call you Wuming?"

"Yes, I have long forgotten my name. You can call me whatever you want." The nameless girl responded coldly.

He sighed softly, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips, which was full of encouragement and hope. "You know, a name is more than just a name. It carries the love of family, the care of friends, and your own unique story. Behind everyone's name, there is a beautiful journey waiting to be discovered."

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, as if Naruto's words touched her heart, but what she thought of was her hatred for the world. However, she quickly regained her composure, as the dark past and the long seal could not be erased by a few words.

"Then, I'll call you Light. I think, since you have forgotten your previous name, let me give you a new one. I hope it can be a ray of light on your future path, illuminating the direction you are going." Naruto's tone was firm, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

"Whatever you want... Light..." the girl repeated softly. The name flowed between her lips and teeth, unexpectedly bringing a hint of warmth. She closed her eyes and let her thoughts drift away with the name. The keyword "light" was like a key, opening up dusty memories and returning to the forgotten childhood full of love and laughter. Her father held her gently, and her mother smiled beside her. They named her "Xiao Guang" together, implying that they hoped she would be like light, full of brightness and hope, although this was contrary to the facts.

"Guang..." The girl opened her eyes again, with an unprecedented light in her eyes. "Okay, then I'll be called Guang."
