And next to Kakashi is Uchiha Obito.

Chaolu looked at them steadily, walked up to them, and tilted her head: "You two...how come one of you looks so much younger, and the other looks so much older?"

Kakashi whispered, "Maybe it's because I'm only twenty years old?"

Chaolu laughed: "Why are you twenty years old again?"

Kakashi couldn't help laughing: "Yeah, I'm twenty years old again."

It was obvious that the two of them had some special memories about "twenty years old". Uchiha Obito frowned and asked him: "What do you mean?"

"When I was in Konoha," Chaolu answered, "I once told Kakashi, 'If you squat on the ground, put your upper body against your knees, and wrap your arms around yourself, you will feel like you are in your mother's arms.' I asked him if he wanted to try it, and he said, 'I'm already 20 years old.'"

Uchiha Obito paused, he was about to say something, and finally his face remained expressionless, he just nodded: "Is that so?"

"Then I asked him the other day, 'Is your father like Kakashi-sensei?' He said, 'I'm only 20 years old.'"

Kakashi laughed: "Do you still remember?"

"My memory is pretty good."

Uchiha Obito hummed softly, which sounded like he meant "So that's how it is", but it also seemed to mean something more than "I understand".

After being told that by Hyuga Neji, he thought that he probably had no right to comment on the title "Dad".

Who is he to comment on her feelings about "mother"?

He was never there for her when she felt lonely.

At that time... it was Kakashi, it was Uzumaki Naruto... it was her companions who accompanied her.

So now, what can he say?

Uchiha Obito hated himself for being so tongue-tied and had no idea how to comfort her, or whether he should comfort her.

In such an occasion, what should he say to be "appropriate"?

All he could say was: “Have I aged a lot?”

He was already thirty years old when Chaolu rewrote the world, and now nearly ten years have passed.

But Chaolu shook her head: "If my time stopped at the moment when I activated the ninjutsu, then you are the same. You have not aged."

"Then I am almost ten years older than Kakashi now."

It sounds like Uchiha Obito has some age anxiety.

Chaolu was a little surprised that he would care about this: "Adults have their own charm, don't they?"

Neji asked at the right moment: "Asaka, do you want to go back to Konoha?"

"Konoha...is everyone okay?"

In Orochimaru's memory, Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi and Shikamaru were all living well, and he didn't care about the others.

However, if the environment in Konoha is so peaceful, then Ino, Shino, Sakura and the others should also be living a similarly peaceful life.

"They're all fine," Uchiha Obito said, "but none of them remember you. I tried."

Chaolu was stunned: "What have you tried?"

"I am your anchor, so when your companions see me, they will remember things about you, but... there are some people in Konoha who are obviously not considered as 'companions' by you." He paused, paying close attention to her expression, "For example, that Nara Shikamaru."

"..."

"I appeared before him, but he didn't remember anything."

"I see..." Chaolu lowered her eyes, "But there's nothing wrong with this. They will have their own new lives... Even without me, they can live happily, right? It would be awkward if I had to insert myself into it."

Kakashi whispered, "Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto... Oh, and Gaara, if they see Obito, they should be able to remember you, but... we haven't restored their memories either."

Chaolu blinked, but after a moment's thought, she realized what their decision was about: "Thank you."

She smiled at them and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Kakashi smiled bitterly and said, "It's really embarrassing to be told that it's hard work. But, do you really not mind? That's Shikamaru, Naruto and Sasuke..."

Chaolu didn't answer, "I still have things to do. I can't stop now."

Uchiha Obito frowned and said worriedly: "What else are you going to do? You have already done something very powerful and remarkable!"

"Yes, precisely because I succeeded, I am more confident now!" Chaolu turned and looked at Orochimaru behind her with a firm gaze: "I should go back - I now have the ability to return to the world where I was born and complete my original goal."

Ningci immediately said: "I'll go with you!"

Deidara was a little confused: "What world was born? What's the goal? Are you going to rewrite the world again?"

Chaolu said, "I'm going to find my family."

Deidara was stunned: "They are still alive?"

"Yes, they are waiting for me to come back." Chaolu said seriously: "But I will come back, because... you are here. Deidara, when I am not here, I ask you to protect this world for me, okay?"

"Now that you say so..." Deidara grinned, "Of course you can! Yeah!"

"Ningji, you too."

"I stay?" Neji said in disbelief, "Are you going alone?"

"And Orochimaru." Chaolu said, "Besides, that world is just for dealing with Sasuke, I am more than enough on my own. You wait here for me, I will be back soon."

Neji pursed his lips unwillingly - but he was still too young and didn't even have the Rinnegan.

At this moment, he missed himself terribly before the world started over again. At that time, he was so powerful and was the only person in the world who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Chaolu.

Even Naruto and Sasuke couldn't do it.

Uchiha Obito felt something was wrong: "Deal with Sasuke? Which Sasuke?"

Kakashi sighed: "I will explain the specific situation to you in detail later."

Uchiha Obito said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me in detail before!?"

“Because it didn’t feel necessary.”

Kakashi was not sure whether Chaolu would wake up, so he was not in the mood to say more.

"you……!"

Seeing that the two people seemed to be about to quarrel, Chaolu opened her arms and hugged them both at once.

Kakashi and Obito's voices suddenly stopped.

"I ask you to continue to look after this world. You are the people I trust the most."

Obito: "..."

Kakashi smiled helplessly and said, "You said so... But you said you were just 'looking after me', so you need to come back soon, okay?"

"I'll try to be back as soon as possible."

Asaka loosened her hand, raised her head, and met Obito's gaze.

In fact, she didn't know what to call him now.

I used to think he was Uchiha Madara, which was easy, just calling him by his first name, but now...

It would be weird to call him Obito directly, and it would be too distant to call him "you" without addressing him, but it was impossible to call him "Dad".

Therefore, Chaolu could only lower her head without saying anything, and Obito also said nothing.

Perhaps, he was also at a loss as to how to look at her.

She released them.

"Orochimaru, let's go."

……

The ninjutsu to travel to another world was learned by Chaolu from Obito.

But this is the first time she has officially used it herself.

However, did she arrive at the world she wanted to go to?

Chaolu was sure that she had arrived in another world, but looking at the unfamiliar forest around her, she felt a little confused.

"Orochimaru, can you confirm where we are?"

Orochimaru stood beside her: "All I know is that this is definitely not the world you were born in."

"Yes." Chaolu said, "There is no bond between me and that tyrant. It is impossible for him to be quiet and listen to me patiently, but... because he is Sasuke, I don't want to fight him."

"Why don't you just show him your memories?" Orochimaru said, "Just like what you did to Naruto and Sasuke in the other world before."

Chaolu shook her head: "They are all Naruto, but Narutos with different experiences react differently to my origins. Although they are all Sasuke, I don't think the tyrant Sasuke can easily accept a memory that he himself has never experienced. Does he need me? I don't think so... If you think that everyone will naturally treat me differently, it would be too narcissistic... I think Shikamaru-sama's original plan is very good."

Orochimaru understood: "You want to take Naruto back with you?"

"Yes."

"So this is the world you have been to before?"

"Yes." Chaolu said hesitantly, "But I'm not sure if I'm in the right place."

"There is a quickest way." Orochimaru said, "Use your Susanoo and take us to Konoha. Naruto will always be in Konoha."
