When the huge mint-colored figure flew through the air, Sasuke almost thought he was seeing things.

But as the owner of the top eye technique in the ninja world today, saying that he had seen it wrong is undoubtedly the biggest irony to his own eyes.

and so……

Is that indeed a Susanoo?

Who controls it? Who uses it? And who can summon it?

It was mint, a color Sasuke had never seen before, which meant that this Susanoo didn't belong to anyone he knew who had the ability to summon it.

However, this may not be absolute.

Orochimaru is not dead yet. He has been doing too many experiments in secret and is very obsessed with the Sharingan. Kabuto once used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to "resurrect" Itachi. If Orochimaru has developed some new ninjutsu or improved some ninjutsu, causing someone he knows to reappear, but some mutation has occurred, causing the color of Susanoo to change...

Is it possible?

Sasuke couldn't tell whether this guess came from his reason or his desire.

Perhaps he hoped so, so even though he knew the possibility was slim, he still followed quickly.

He quickly determined that the other party's destination was the Fire Nation.

well.

Clearly heading towards Konoha.

well.

It is very consistent with the complicated entanglement between Uchiha and Konoha.

Ferret.

Sasuke thought, could it be you...could it be you?

Can you return to this world again?

Reality disappointed him.

Although he knew that it would be incredible if his guess came true, after discovering that the owner of Susanoo was a strange girl, Sasuke's throbbing heart was extinguished like ashes and returned to silence.

However, the two companions around her were indeed people Sasuke knew.

One is the dead Neji Hyuga, and the other is Gaara who has become the Kazekage.

But the white-eyed boy in front of him was apparently unharmed, and the red-haired boy was clearly a few years younger than the current Kazekage.

Just a few years of serving as the Kazekage have smoothed out Gaara's edges. If Sasuke had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it difficult to associate the peaceful and steady Gaara of today with the fierce, brutal and violent boy back then.

And the 16-year-old Gaara in front of us is somewhere in between the two.

His temperament is much softer than during the Chunin Exams, but he is also sharper than the expressionless Kazekage.

In comparison, Hyuga Neji doesn't look much different from when he was 16 years old.

But when these two people walk together, it's unusual enough.

Gaara and Hyuga Neji?

Gaara and Rock Lee both have closer relationships than Neji.

What do they have in common?

Who is the girl walking among them?

After excluding the options of Hyuga Neji awakening the Sharingan or Gaara awakening the Sharingan, there is only one answer as to who is the owner of the mint-colored Susanoo.

The girl with black hair and black eyes has Uchiha blood.

Looking at that beautiful face from afar, Sasuke's mood did not fluctuate much, because he knew very well that the Uchiha clan had been destroyed long ago and he no longer had any family.

He would not think that just because anyone has the Sharingan is important.

But if the other party is an enemy, as the only descendant of the Uchiha clan, he feels it is his responsibility to deal with the other party personally.

...Since he has the Sharingan, he can't just turn a blind eye.

Sasuke followed.

……

Kakashi was very surprised when he saw Sasuke.

After all, although he is now a ninja of Konoha in name, he has been wandering outside the village ever since he said he wanted to travel. He is the only one who actively contacts the village using his Ninja Eagle, and the villagers can't find his contact information if they want to find him.

"Sasuke, you're back?"

bother.

very annoying.

Looking at Kakashi's face, Sasuke felt annoyed.

He had no problem with Kakashi himself, but he didn't like Konoha, didn't like the scenery he saw, didn't like standing in front of the Hokage's office, didn't like being seen by the guys in Konoha, didn't like their surprised eyes, didn't like the sound and attitude of their voices when talking to him, and didn't like their awkward expressions as they racked their brains to think about what attitude to show him.

He doesn't fit in here.

More than two years after his defection, although Konoha was willing to accept him again, Sasuke knew that Konoha was only "reluctantly" and "unwillingly" "tolerating" his existence for Naruto's sake.

Konoha's soul, its voice, its thoughts, were in the hands of the higher-ups.

Naruto's will is not its will.

Even if Naruto becomes Hokage one day, his welcome to Sasuke will never change Konoha's attitude towards Sasuke.

Konoha did not welcome him.

But Sasuke still had to patiently answer: "After I found that meteorites were falling frequently, I returned to Konoha."

This is his last place in the world.

Naruto is here, and he will protect this place.

Because this is Naruto's wish.

He hid his emotions very deeply, so deeply that no one could peek into them. They could only see his expressionless face and hear his cold and calm voice.

He said directly: "On the way, I saw a Susanoo flying towards Konoha."

Kakashi immediately knew what he was going to ask.

"You mean Neji, Gaara, and Asaka?"

He already knew who Neji and Gaara were, so the remaining unfamiliar name obviously belonged to that strange girl.

"..."

"She has the Sharingan. She is... the daughter of Obito and Rin. One of her dojutsu is the same as the one Obito gave me."

Sasuke wasn't surprised.

Since she has the Sharingan, she must have a set of parents, and one of them must be an Uchiha.

It could be anyone, so why couldn't it be Obito?

Even if it was Uchiha Madara, Sasuke didn't think there was anything wrong with it - after all, Uchiha Madara was famous and there was a high possibility that his genes would be targeted.

Unless Kakashi told him that the girl's father was Uchiha Itachi, his emotions might fluctuate.

"They say they are from another world," Kakashi said.

"another world?"

Could it be that in that world, Uchiha Obito didn't die? He married Nohara Rin and had a child? Then is it possible that the Uchiha clan in that world still exists?

"Yes. In another world, she was a member of Team 7 and a student of 'me'. But after her life story was exposed, she was suspected by Konoha. During the Chunin Exam, she defected to Kirigakure with Neji and Gaara."

"...Team 7?"

"In her world, the members of Team 7 are Sasuke, Naruto, and her."

"..."

"Hahaha, at first I almost thought she was you from another world!"

For a moment... Sasuke thought so too.

"So, she is Sakura from another world?"

"No. Sakura also exists in her world. She is not Sakura's alien body. She is someone who does not exist in our world."

Someone who doesn't exist.

Extra Uchiha.

Would she also feel that she was out of tune with this world?

After getting the information he wanted, Sasuke left the Hokage's office. Kakashi said that he could go see Sakura and Naruto, or he could let him participate in the mission, but he refused.

Kakashi said, "Naruto and Sakura would be very happy if they knew you were back."

Yes, they were happy, but he felt tired just thinking about it.

He was willing to protect Konoha for Naruto, but he didn't want to be around Naruto and listen to him talking all the time. That guy would only make his head hurt.

If Sakura knew about this, it would be even more troublesome.

Sasuke actually couldn't quite understand why she was so obsessed with him.

Naruto said he was obsessed with him because they were friends.

Okay, he can accept this.

And Sakura said that she liked him.

When he decided to defect, Sakura found him, but did not stop him. Instead, she said she was willing to leave with him.

That’s when he said “thank you” to her.

Then... Naruto relentlessly pursued him, wanting to take him back to Konoha. During this period, Sakura, like everyone else, despaired of him, gave up on him, and even wanted to kill him...

In the public's perception, "love" is a special feeling that is more unique and irreplaceable than "friendship", but Sakura's "love" pales in comparison to Naruto's "friendship".

Therefore, when she confessed her love, Sasuke would occasionally inevitably think: Your feelings are not even as special as Naruto's... What is love that cannot exceed friendship?

Sasuke is clearly aware of his friendship with Naruto, his companion bonds with Karin and Suigetsu, and his love for Itachi as a family.

The only thing he couldn't understand was Sakura's love.

Is the so-called "love between lovers" such an obscure thing?

During the six years in the Ninja School, he had some impression of her, but he only knew that there was a girl named Haruno Sakura who had very good grades among his classmates.

When they were assigned to the same class, they were not familiar with each other at all.

Although they had carried out several missions together and established a bond, they had no contact for two and a half years. He was even on the verge of collapse and wanted to kill her several times.

He didn't understand what she meant by "like", and he didn't understand what the situation was when she said she "has always liked him until now".

He originally thought that as long as he was not in Konoha, she should be able to open up on her own, just like Ino.

But Sakura's feelings didn't diminish at all, which confused him.

But when he acted like he couldn't understand, Sakura would always look disappointed and depressed, but would force herself to pretend that "it's okay" and give him a "it's okay" smile.

Everyone felt sorry for her, that she was strong and persistent, and deeply in love. Everyone supported her, encouraged her, and comforted her, and everyone hoped that she could get what she wanted and have a good result.

What about him? How does he feel?

Hadn't he rejected her several times and even hurt her with bad words?

Because he was defeated by Naruto and because he returned to Konoha, so everything he said before, his emotions, his actions, are all "wrong paths" that should be erased, are they all mistakes that are not worth remembering?

The bond between him and Sakura still exists, can't they be companions and friends? Does it have to be love?

She was asking him for something he didn't have and didn't know where to find.

As long as they met, she would definitely say something about wanting to be with him and wanting to be by his side, but Sasuke felt that he didn't want to be disturbed so far.

Many people thought that he must be very lonely being alone, but he didn't think so.

He felt good.

As long as he doesn't show his Sharingan and Samsaragan, he is no different from an ordinary person.

No one knew who he was. He was just like an ordinary traveler. No one looked at him strangely. Everyone treated him normally.

Although sometimes... I do feel a little lonely.

But there is no one I can tell about that loneliness, not even Naruto.

Once you get used to digesting it silently, it’s not a problem anymore.
