Seeing the unexpected turn of the situation, Sasuke stopped asking questions with words. He stared into Karin's eyes, and the latter's eyes suddenly became unfocused.

At that moment, everyone present, regardless of their position, probably had the same feeling in their hearts:

Uchiha's Sharingan is really convenient...

Sasuke asked, "What is the current situation of the tyrant? Where did he go?"

"Sasuke... is hurt."

Although "Tyrant" was just a name decided upon by Asaro and his group, Karin obviously understood who it was referring to.

She replied in a daze, "But he refused to stay in bed... He only rested for a while, then left here to track down the enemy..."

"Injured?" Naruto asked subconsciously: "Is the injury serious?"

Chaolu said, "Since you still have the energy to track, it shouldn't be serious."

“No…!” Although she was under the control of the illusion, Karin became agitated when she heard this, “Sasuke… is seriously injured!!”

Orochimaru pondered, "Without Naruto, will Sasuke still be alone in facing the Otsutsuki...? Compared with Kaguya and Toneri... if these Otsutsuki are stronger, it would be too bad..."

Sasuke was also evaluating in his mind, but based on just a few words, the information was still too insufficient to accurately judge which side was stronger and how big the gap was.

Just when everyone thought that the tyrant was seriously injured in the battle with the Otsutsuki, Karin added faintly: "His heart... has never healed..."

Chaolu: "...Is she talking about the tyrant's physical or mental injuries being severe?"

If Sasuke answered this question himself and said "I'm deeply hurt", it would be too embarrassing.

So he just said: "The tyrant's wounds are not serious."

"But in her heart, the tyrant has always been a wounded soldier, and she is worried." Chaolu thought so in her heart and said it directly: "Even though he is so powerful and has done so many cruel things, she still feels sorry for him..."

She thought for a moment, "Are they lovers?"

Sasuke: "No..."

"But she cares about him a lot." Chaolu stared at Karin. Even though she was a medical ninja who didn't need to charge, she had a lot of scars on her face: "... Because I like him, so even if he brings me pain, I feel it's sweet..."

She still couldn't understand what that feeling was.

So, to her, Karin seemed to be weak and posed no threat, yet she also seemed unfathomable and difficult to understand.

However, now is not the time to dwell on this.

Chaolu gathered her scattered thoughts and asked, "Who are Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki?"

"One is fat and the other is thin. The thin one is Momoshiki, who can absorb chakra, and the fat one is Kinshiki, who is very strong in taijutsu."

"It's just as I guessed..." Chaolu frowned: "The Otsutsuki family has far more than just a few descendants."

Remembering that Kaguya's goal was the world's chakra, she immediately said, "Since the Tyrant is not here, let's go and reunite with Shikamaru and the others."

Seeing that they had no intention of harming Karin, Suigetsu and Jūgo did not act rashly for a moment - without the tyrant Sasuke, having only one big Orochimaru on the opposite side was already difficult enough, not to mention that there was now a creature who looked like an Otsutsuki, as well as the "copies" of Naruto and Sasuke.

Based on their understanding of Orochimaru, the "clone" that he was satisfied with and would bring with him was definitely not weak in strength, and even if the three of them attacked together, they might not be able to win.

This is really an embarrassing fact - although the fighting power of the Tyrant Sasuke's side is overwhelmingly stronger than that of the remaining ninja troops, it is only because of the strength of the Tyrant alone.

Once the tyrant Sasuke was gone, the flaw that his forces had a very serious gap in combat power was fully exposed.

Sasuke broke the illusion, and in order to avoid further complications, he made Karin fall into coma.

When the girl suddenly fell to the ground, Sasuke caught her.

He knelt down on one knee and put her on the ground. After all, "Karin" was once his companion.

Thinking that such a gentle person was actually the same person as the tyrant, Chaolu felt that the world was sometimes extremely complicated.

She sighed softly, "Sasuke is such a gentle person."

That tyrant—could he have once been like this?

Being nice to everyone?

Sasuke was stunned and said hesitantly: "Is this... a good thing to say?"

Chaolu was surprised and asked, "Of course! Why do you ask?"

"Don't worry, she hasn't learned to be sarcastic yet." Orochimaru said, "Of course, I don't think she's jealous either."

Chaolu: “?”

Sasuke said coldly: "I don't think so."

Naruto said, "So we are going to go find Shikamaru and the others now? Where are they?"

Orochimaru determined the direction and ran forward: "Follow me."

Chaolu immediately followed up and said, "Please point me in the direction. I will be faster with Susanoo."

"Do you think that Shikamaru and the others in this world would show themselves if they saw a Susanoo approaching rapidly?"

Chaolu was silent.

Although her Susanoo looks different from Tyrant Sasuke's Susanoo, there is really no need to cause unnecessary panic and tension to Shikamaru and the others.

After running for a distance, Chaolu looked back and saw that Suigetsu and Jūgo had rushed to Karin eagerly and surrounded her.

They have their own important companions, but they can still kill other people's important companions.

So-called Ninja...

The rules of ninjas and the world of ninjas are really too confusing.

The strong decide everything, while the weak can only accept it painfully.

Even though Chaolu is now one of the strongest and can do whatever she wants, for some reason she doesn't feel happy or at ease.

If a person's strength depends on bloodline and is determined from birth, then do those who don't have Uchiha, Hyuga, Hagoromo, Hamura, or Ōtsutsuki bloodlines deserve to be cannon fodder?

How can the strong and the weak co-exist?

The tyrant Sasuke is the strong one who decides everything, but the world has not become better.

Then, in a world where even the weakest can live happily, everyone should be happy, right?

The first Hokage spread the blood of the Senju throughout the village. Was he also hoping that the fate determined by blood could be changed?

What would the world be like if there were no more ninjas, or if the rules of ninjas changed?

Chaolu was lost in thought, and she didn't know how long she had been running before Orochimaru stopped and said, "We're here."

She came to her senses, looked around, and found herself at the border of Konoha and Sand Village.

"There is a base here." Orochimaru said, "If they have not evacuated or have been discovered by Sa... by the Tyrant, there should be sensory ninjas responsible for monitoring the surrounding environment who will discover us. However, they probably won't recognize who you are, but if they see me..."

Before he could finish his words, a very familiar figure emerged from the ground - another Orochimaru.

He looked at himself, then at Asakaru beside him, and Naruto and Sasuke behind them, and smiled with satisfaction: "It seems that my plan was successful."

Naruto exclaimed in surprise: "Two Orochimaru!!"

Orochimaru beside Chaolu said: "After all, I am just a part of the chakra he sent into Chaolu. But after the world was reset, I merged with the Orochimaru of that world and became a complete 'Orochimaru', so——"

Naruto was already confused: "What? What? Who and who?"

"It's not a big deal." Orochimaru in this world looked at him and Sasuke, and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Uzumaki Naruto. And... Sasuke."

Finally, he looked at Zhaolu: "So, you are Zhaolu?"

He stared at her for a moment, "You have grown up. Even beyond my expectations. I think you must have exceeded Shikamaru's imagination as well."

When Chaolu met Orochimaru for the first time in another world, she persistently asked him what he thought of the name "Chaolu".

But now, looking at her true creator, she suddenly felt relieved - his opinion was not important. Although he gave her a name, the only one who could give meaning to this name was herself.

She approved of the name, and it made sense.

If she doesn't approve of the name, it's just a noun that can be discarded at any time.

So far, this name has been called by countless people, and most of the memories related to it are very beautiful.

She likes the name and she likes herself.

Chaolu looked at Orochimaru and smiled slightly: "Where is Shikamaru now?"

"Sasuke left Konoha and got into a fight with an unknown person. Shikamaru and Ino are trying to find them."

"Shikamaru wants to form an alliance with Sasuke's enemies?"

"If possible. But sometimes, the enemy of my enemy may not be my friend."

"If the Otsutsuki's target is this world," Chaolu asked, "will the Shinobi Alliance join forces with the tyrant to fight against foreign enemies?"

Orochimaru of this world shook his head: "Sasuke wouldn't do that."

At this time, Ino's chakra poured into everyone's brain, and she said hurriedly: "The base has been attacked, everyone immediately disperse and evacuate according to the attack record!"

"found it--"

As soon as she finished her words, two figures suddenly appeared in the air, just as Sasuke had said before, one fat and one thin.

The thin young boy named Otsutsuki should be Momoshiki.

He looked worried: "These chakras are too scattered... I wonder how big a pill can be made if we gather them together?"

Then, he looked at Chaolu with interest again: "But if you... make a pill, it will definitely replenish my consumed strength in an instant. So, answer my question - suspected descendant of Otsutsuki, are you related to Kaguya or Isshiki?"
