"After I send you back, I plan to go back to my previous world. If everything goes well... I'm ready to start a new journey."

Naruto subconsciously asked, "Journey? Where is Chaolu going?"

"I'll probably go to other worlds to have a look." Chaolu smiled. "So far, I have experienced three worlds. Although these three worlds are so similar, they are also so different, extending various possibilities. So I think that maybe in other worlds, there is a possibility that can allow me to find... a successful reform path."

"It sounds like," Orochimaru said, "you will be gone for a very long time, going to a very far place. Don't get lost in countless similar worlds and forget the way back."

"I wouldn't!" Chaolu retorted, "Besides, we might be able to get more information about the Otsutsuki in other worlds. I always feel that Kinshiki and Momoshiki might not be the end... If their attack is just the beginning of a crisis on Earth..."

At this point, Chaolu frowned and sighed, "What a hassle."

Naruto may not have figured out why, but his mouth said faster than his brain: "Don't learn Shikamaru's catchphrase."

"Why?" Chaolu asked curiously, "Can I no longer say what Shikamaru said?"

"Not really, but it's just..." Naruto was at a loss for words, "It just seems that you, Asaka, and Shikamaru have a very good relationship - but you and 'me' - and the other Naruto are the best friends! You haven't even said the catchphrase 'me'!"

"Nonsense! I've said 'just say what you want to say' many times!"

"That's not enough!"

Zhaolu couldn't help laughing: "How many times do I have to say it to be enough?"

The Naruto in front of her was clearly not her Naruto, but because he had seen her memories with her Naruto, he could now argue with Chaolu using that Naruto's tone and his now forgotten memories.

At this moment, Chaolu felt that her Naruto seemed to be nostalgically reappearing in the body of the 19-year-old Naruto.

This made her feel very happy.

Sasuke suddenly joined the conversation: "Isn't Naruto's catchphrase 'I want to be Hokage'? He used to say this all the time, and people's ears are callused from hearing it."

Chaolu didn't expect Sasuke to pay attention to this kind of "bickering" and was caught off guard and stunned for a moment.

She paused and replied, "I said that too."

"Yes. You and 'me'... and that Sasuke made a pact that you would become the Hokage and he would be your right-hand man."

"...That's true." Chaolu suddenly remembered that not only Naruto knew her memories with Naruto, but Sasuke also knew her memories with Sasuke.

It's just that the two Narutos are extremely similar, so she can easily see the other Naruto in one, but the 19-year-old Sasuke and the teenage Sasuke are almost like two different people.

...Is it because the hairstyle has changed too much?

"Right now, his dream is probably to become the captain of the police department... like his father." Chaolu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe when he grows up, the Fourth Hokage will still be in office, and he can become the chief of the police department under the Fourth Hokage, which would be great."

"..."

Sasuke remained silent, but he seemed to have a different opinion.

Naruto said: "Maybe... the Fourth Hokage has already passed the throne to me, and then Sasuke will be my assistant!"

Although he tried to look proud, Sasuke glanced at him and said, "Do you want to go see the Fourth Hokage?"

Naruto immediately lost his temper: "W-What are you doing!"

"If the Fourth Hokage had continued to live, perhaps your dream would not have been to become Hokage at all."

"How is that possible! Even though I have given up on becoming a Hokage... that was the dream that supported me throughout my youth!"

Sasuke said: "If you were the Hokage's son from the beginning, you wouldn't have to try so hard to attract other people's attention, and you wouldn't be ignored. Your dream, in the final analysis, is only because you once had nothing."

Naruto was stunned: "You guy! Can't you speak more nicely?!"

"I...want to go and have a look."

Naruto was still a little unresponsive and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Sasuke's voice was low and calm, his eyes slightly lowered towards Asano, "I want to... see the world you reversed."

Naruto paused, "I...I want to go too!"

"Hehehe..." Orochimaru laughed deeply, his golden pupils flicked back and forth between Naruto and Sasuke, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a meaningful arc. "You two, don't want to go back to your own world just because you don't want to be separated from Chaolu."

Sasuke's voice was cold: "Shut up, Orochimaru."

……

At dinner time, almost all the important figures in the Shinobi Alliance arrived.

Shikamaru, Sakura, Ino, Sai, Kankuro, Yamato...

Ino's physical condition seemed to be much better, but her face was still a little pale. Sai sat beside her and took good care of her.

Kankuro's expression as he looked at Sasuke still had a hint of suspicion and wariness;

Yamato looked at Naruto with a disappointed look;

Sakura smiled politely, but she kept her eyes away from Naruto and Sasuke's faces, and even when she heard Naruto's spirited voice or Sasuke's occasional cold words, the smile on her face was somewhat shaky;

In comparison, Shikamaru's expression was calm and indifferent enough.

He just had that "it's no big deal" expression on his face and said, "We hope Sasuke can stay."

Naruto was stunned and asked, "Why?"

Sasuke reacted quickly - the tyrant gave him all his chakra, including the nine tailed beasts.

Shikamaru said: "The threat of the Otsutsuki has already appeared. Previously, the only one who could fight against him... although I am very unwilling, I have to admit that the only one who could fight against him was the tyrant Sasuke. Now he is dead, which means that if another Otsutsuki appears, it will be difficult for the Earth to resist."

Naruto objected, "But leaving Sasuke alone or something--"

Asaro held his arm, motioning him to calm down, "I have thought about this issue, Shikamaru. I will be in charge of this world."

"But you said," Shikamaru said, softening his tone slightly, "that you were going to embark on a journey."

"I will keep in touch with you regularly. If there is any danger, I will rush back immediately." Chaolu said, "This world, Naruto and Sasuke's world, and the world I am heading to... these three worlds... I will take responsibility for them all."

Shikamaru's eyes widened slightly, and he said seriously: "Even for Sasuke... it's already difficult to carry a world on his back."

"But I'm not alone." Chaolu smiled, "In World 1, I have Toneri, Neji, Obito, Kakashi and others to help me; in World 2, I have Naruto and Sasuke; in World 3, I have all of you - I don't bear everything alone. As long as you choose the right companions and as long as we are together, there is nothing we can't do!"
