Chaolu said: "You won't help me either?"

Sasuke was slightly stunned.

"Naruto said that he and Sakura were also hit by Uchiha Madara's technique and went to another world. When Sakura entered that world, Sakura from that world was swapped to this world. In other words, maybe you can also go to my world."

"..."

"If I am alone and have no one to help me, will you stand by my side?"

"..."

"If I insist on going my own way and go against the world, and no one supports me, will you also leave me and stand against me?"

"..."

"If I really lose all other ties, I will only have you. Even if you know I will fail, even if you know this is impossible, even if you know I am on the wrong path... Can't you support me and fight together until the last moment?"

"you……"

"Naruto said that he was willing to die with you in order to stop you. If we have to die, why can't we die together against the world?"

Sasuke listened in silence: "Who taught you to say these words?"

“No one taught me.”

"That's not called supporting you," Sasuke said, "that's called dying with you."

"Can't you die with me?"

"Are you trying out your words on me? Are you trying to see if you can convince Sasuke from your world with your words?"

Chaolu didn't answer, only said: "If chakra disappears, if we don't have to be ninjas, Naruto said he wants to open a ramen shop. As for me... Although I've been learning sewing, I'm not confident enough to open a clothing store, so I want to open a bookstore! It would be great if we could open it next door, so that customers who eat in Naruto's store can enjoy discounts when buying books... What about you? Sasuke, if you don't become a ninja, what do you want to do?"

“…I haven’t thought about it.”

"Then think about it now."

"What do you think I am suitable for?"

"Be a model?" Chaolu smiled and said, "Sasuke's face... maybe he can become a star. But as an actor, your acting skills are probably not good enough, and as an idol... I guess you can't serve your fans. So, how about being a policeman?"

"police?"

"Hmm! Didn't Sasuke in my world say that he wanted to be the captain of the police department? In the world outside of ninjas, ordinary people who maintain law and order are called policemen. It would be great if Sasuke could be a policeman! If you think about it this way, then Naruto is actually quite suitable to be a firefighter as well?"

"…Asaro, do you hate being a ninja?"

"I don't hate it, but..." Chaolu turned around, with her back to him, and looked at the night sky: "I always thought that as long as Naruto survived, everything would be fine, and everyone would live a peaceful and happy life. I have been working hard for this... but the world where Naruto survived confuses me. Neji is dead, and you are far away from Konoha. Well, I convinced myself that compared to the worst ending I know, this is already a very small sacrifice. I can return to my world and try to pay attention to these points. I will save Neji, and I will let Sasuke have another place to go besides Konoha... But suddenly an Otsutsuki Toneri appeared from the moon."

"Otsutsuki Toneri is not a difficult enemy."

"He himself is indeed not a problem. But if he had not shown up and had not attacked the Hyuga clan in order to reproduce his bloodline, causing his whereabouts to be exposed, who would have found the way to the moon? If we can't even see his face, who can stop him? If he appeared after destroying the earth, the earth would not even know who destroyed it. Naruto, you...is there any way to protect the earth?"

"..."

"Easily... someone can move the moon and destroy the world. Even if we find a way to the moon, only Naruto can deal with this enemy. Will there be another Otsutsuki in the future? You may be Naruto's first crisis, Toneri is the second... Will there be a third and fourth time in the future? Once Naruto fails once and dies again, will the world repeat the same mistake? If world peace depends on Naruto alone, doesn't it mean that the power of the whole world belongs to him? Then as long as I am strong enough, what is the difference between me and Naruto? I can take over his duties, and he only needs to live a peaceful and stable life like others, without having to fight endlessly. What's wrong with that?"

"You want to become a god just to let Naruto live a normal life?"

"My mission in this world is to ensure that Naruto can survive and that everyone can have a better future. Instead of constantly worrying about him getting into danger and whether he will die in the next battle, I would rather stand in front of him and die first. As long as I'm alive, he and everyone else will be safe. If I die... they won't be able to survive either, and I don't have to worry about anything anymore." Chaolu was silent for a moment, then repeated, "Anyway, if I have to die, I must die before everyone else."

"…Even if you say so, Naruto won't agree."

"I know. Naruto won't agree, Sasuke won't agree. Even Gaara and Neji won't agree." Chaolu whispered, "But I don't want to give in. Shikamaru once said that if one day my ideas conflict with others' ideas... I have to learn to stick to my own ideas."

"It can't be something like this that he wants you to insist on."

"What kind of thing is this? What kind of thing is that? What is the difference between all the things in this world?"

Sasuke sighed deeply, "To think that this is better for someone, to ignore their wishes and force their fate... is the worst kind of arrogance."

"But when a person insists on his decision, it is inevitable that it will affect the fate of others. How can you tell whether I am just sticking to my own ninja way or arranging the fate of others? Itachi-sensei controlled your fate by leaving you behind on the night of the genocide and trying to guide you to kill him, making you a hero of Konoha. He kept the truth from you and hoped that you would not hate Konoha. But I didn't want to control Naruto's fate. Whether he wants to continue to be a ninja or open a ramen shop, it's all up to me."

"Perhaps you are just tired." Sasuke said calmly, "Wait until you calm down and think about it carefully. Our sparring will be left until tomorrow. You should go get some sleep now."

"When you decided to kill Naruto, why didn't you calm down and get some sleep?"

"..."

"If you thought you had thought it through and had to do it, why do you think I would change my mind after a good night's sleep?"

"… Toneri was just an accident. After getting rid of him, Naruto will live a peaceful and happy life. Isn't his dream to become Hokage? With his current reputation, unless he gives up, the next Hokage can't be anyone else. The future you worry about is just your imagination. You are too anxious."

"Where did Princess Otsutsuki Kaguya come from?" Chaolu turned around and looked at him again. "If during the time of the Six Paths Sage, Otsutsuki Hamura was able to leave the Earth and go to the Moon, does that mean that there may be other life forms on other planets in the universe? Before Toneri showed up, who knew that there was an Otsutsuki clan on the Moon?"

"..."

"So, will you help me?"
