If you don't want to unify the ninja world, why are you crying about the ninja village system?

Minato was forcibly brought back to the vast and mysterious empire.

The journey was long and full of twists and turns. Akito had in-depth exchanges with him time and time again, but each attempt fell on deaf ears, and was only met with Minato's firm look of distrust.

Faced with such a situation, the Ming people were helpless.

Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "In that case, you can live with me for a while. If you still think this is a scam..."

"You are far inferior to my father! You have no sense of responsibility at all!"

Mingren couldn't help but complain.

Hearing this reprimand, Minato's face instantly turned a little ugly, but he still suppressed his emotions.

"I don't need to use any illusions to deceive you."

As soon as the words fell, the two fell into a suffocating silence.

At this time, Minato, who was in the sealed space, had already been filled with turbulent waves in his heart.

In fact, he had not completely imagined the current situation.

But once I thought about it, if everything Ming people said was true...

His whole face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

Does this mean that, all along, he was the one who harmed his own son?

When he thought of this, Minato's heart trembled suddenly, and an indescribable fear and self-blame surged into his heart like a tide.

Once upon a time, he devoted his life to the village without reservation, and even resolutely allowed his child to become a Jinchūriki who carried the terrifying power of the Nine-Tails.

But what happens in the end?

The village betrayed him, and now it seemed that even he himself had failed Naruto and Kushina's trust and expectations.

At this moment, Minato couldn't help but ask himself, is he worthy of his wife Kushina who loves him deeply? Is he worthy of Naruto who has been lonely and suffered since childhood?

Before he witnessed the truth with his own eyes, Minato simply regarded the mutant in front of him who claimed to be his son as a shameless person with ulterior motives who attempted to maliciously destroy the deep emotional bond between him and the village.

Unless... you see it with your own eyes!

不 ...

Even if you see it with your own eyes, you must avoid the possibility that it is... an illusion!

In the empire, prosperity and tranquility coexist. Konoha Village, a small village in the past, has now transformed into a large city, but it still retains its unique ninja style.

In the village, the Hokage Building stands in the center as a witness to history, surrounded by modern buildings, demonstrating the changes of the times and the booming development of the village.

Naruto, the young man from Ninja World No. 64, is in a particularly good mood today.

With thoughts and expectations for his friends in his heart, he set out on the journey to the Uchiha clan's territory.

The Uchiha clan's land, this once mysterious place, is now open to the public, but it still maintains strict entry and exit management. This is not only a respect for the history and glory of the Uchiha clan, but also a proper protection of their unique abilities and secrets.

"Sass here!"

Before Naruto even stepped into the gate of the clan, he couldn't wait to call Sasuke's name. His clear voice penetrated the quiet air and attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers.

Uchiha You, Uchiha Sasuke's older brother, appeared in front of him almost at the same time Naruto called him.

He had a warm smile on his face, as if it could dispel all the gloom, "Naruto, long time no see, are you here to see Sasuke? Unfortunately, he is not in the clan at the moment."

Hearing this, Naruto scratched the back of his head and gave an awkward yet cute smile, "Ah, so where did he go? I want to go find him."

Uchiha You was about to answer when suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing a barely perceptible chill, and then a figure appeared in front of them like a ghost - it was Uchiha Sasuke, a variant of Sasuke, but with subtle differences in personality and appearance from Sasuke.

"Sas give??"

When Naruto saw Sasuke, his eyes lit up and he excitedly went to greet him, seemingly not noticing the subtle differences between the two of them.

He reached out and gently pinched Zuo Zhu's cheek, his face full of emotion, "How come you've become more handsome after not seeing you for a few days? You're such an enviable guy! I thought you were going to stand me up today, it seems you still can't bear to part with your good friend!"

Naruto kept saying "Big Daddy Bayo" as he spoke, completely immersed in his own world, and didn't notice the veins gradually appearing on Zuosuke's forehead and his clenched fists.

"Sas, here you go~"

At the critical moment, Uchiha You's gentle yet powerful voice rang out, like a warm current, calming the storm that was about to break out.

Zuo Zhu took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart. "I'm Zuo Zhu! You stupid bastard, can you please stop calling me Sass?"

Although Zuo Zhu did not take any action, the tension between their words was still strong.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and couldn't help laughing. There was a hint of teasing and relief in that smile, "Haha, they are still conquering the empire, how can they come back so soon? Don't be angry, Sasuke - oh no, Sasuke, didn't we agree to go to the library together today? When do we leave?"

At this moment, the sun is shining and the breeze is not dry. On the streets of the Uchiha clan, the figures of two young boys, one tall and one short, can be seen from afar, and one can imagine endless fantasies about friendship and dreams.

"I'm not Sasuke!!"

Zuo Zhu couldn't help but punched Naruto on the head.

“Ah—it hurts, it hurts!!”

Naruto screamed, holding his head.

He really didn't expect that this was not Sasuke!

But their empire's conquest...

Is it over so soon?

Then what's the point of my crazy training during this period?

Sasuke is also training like crazy, does he know that the war is over?

"Okay, Sasuke, don't do that to Naruto."

Yu pretended to scold sternly, then touched Naruto's head, and a gentle chakra power relieved Naruto's pain from the inside out.

A smile appeared on Naruto's face, and he forgot the scene of being beaten just now.

"Whether you are Sasuke or not, I will definitely rely on you today!"

Seeing that his best friend had transformed into such a moron, Zuo Zhu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Brother, I'm tired, let's go home."

"I want to eat the spicy and sour shredded potatoes you made."

Uchiha You nodded, his face full of doting.

"well..."

Naruto also jumped up when he heard that.

"I want it too! I want it too!"

Since he came to the Empire, he found that although there were not many things that tasted better than Ichiraku Ramen, they did exist.

For example, spicy and sour potato shreds with rice, fried tomato and eggs, etc...

"No problem, I'll make you a big pot!"

Zuo Zhu stared at You, looking at his flattering and pleasing smile like a good brother next door and a virtuous wife and mother, Zuo Zhu shook his head.

It's not that I look down on You, but...

Jiraiya said that the guy from the Uchiha clan who mastered the celestial arts...

It definitely can’t be my brother!
