Naruto

In a separate private room at the new Ichiraku Ramen store in Konoha Village, young Naruto and the Seventh Generation Hokage were enjoying the fragrant seafood miso ramen.

"...It's really unimaginable that my uncle, who is obsessed with cooking, would choose to retire." The blond boy looked up from the noodle bowl and sighed.

"Well, the uncle said that his energy is not as good as before. Sister Changpu has also learned the essence of his cooking skills, so he can enjoy his retirement life with peace of mind. However, he has not been idle after retirement. He often competes with chefs from other restaurants.

Art, develop new dishes. Oops!" At this point, the Hokage patted his head in annoyance, "I should have taken you to try the new dishes they recently launched! I have such a bad memory!"

"Don't worry about it, I think it's a good experience to taste the familiar flavor here." The young man replied cheerfully.

The Hokage said with some embarrassment: "You have helped us so much this time, but I can only treat you to ramen..."

"'It's natural for friends to help each other.' Didn't you say this to Kawaki yourself? Why, do you still want to see me as an outsider?" The young man asked with a smile.

"Haha, after all, I'm just a jackpot. In front of a genius ninja like you, it's inevitable to be nervous!"

"Come on! Sasuke is also a genius ninja. You had many fights with him back then."

"You don't know how much he looks down on people in the beginning! He has an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away all day long. It's irritating to watch!"

"And then they became besties after a long fight?"

"Well... Speaking of which, I didn't know him at all at first. It was only a few years later that I learned about the Uchiha clan's rebellion." Naruto's face suddenly became darker, "I often think about it, what if I

If I could have understood him earlier, things might not have happened later, and he would have been able to live a happier life in the past few years."

"You don't have to worry about this. Although he also longs for a warm family life, he still prefers to be alone and feel free. Although the floating ship longs for a warm harbor, his true destination is still the vastness

"The ocean." The young man said with a serious face, "I am like arsenic, and he is like honey. You may find life extremely painful, but he will find it sweet."

"Well, if I could see so clearly when I was your age, all the bad things that happened back then wouldn't have happened." The Hokage took out a wine bottle and took a big gulp of wine, "Now I am the Hokage.

It won’t be so tiring.”

The young man looked at the other person's tired face and asked in a low voice: "When did you learn to drink?"

"Seventeen years old." The Hokage shook the glass bottle and replied leisurely, "With our physical constitution, no matter how much we drink, it won't have any effect. Do you want a drink?"

"No, I will work with Sakura to reattach Sasuke's broken limb tonight. I must keep my mind clear at all times." The young man pointed to his head and rejected the other party's invitation.

"That's right." The Hokage's hand holding the wine bottle suddenly paused in the air, and he murmured, "I didn't expect that you actually convinced him."

"There will be many challenges waiting for us in the future. Of course, we must respond with the fullest physical and mental state." The young man lightly hammered the opponent's shoulder, "You have to work hard, Hokage-sama."

"Well, when I was little, I always dreamed of becoming Hokage and impressing those who hated me. Now that I have become Hokage, I always feel like I am fighting Kumon every day." The Seventh Generation took a gulp of alcohol.

Drinking wine, he wiped his mouth and said, "But what you said last time

This place is really nice. I go there every night to meditate and practice, and I can feel that my physical fitness and chakra concentration are further enhanced, and my usual energy has become more abundant than before. When Sasuke recovers from his injury

After that, I plan to take him there to practice together."

The place the Seventh Generation refers to is the main node of the dragon vein buried underground in Konoha Village.

"You can also take this opportunity to understand the methods used by the Immortal of Six Paths to reshape the earth's ecosystem back then, but be sure not to let irrelevant people know about it, especially the newly surrendered Amado."

The young man reminded in a low voice, "As for those official documents, they were originally the main tasks faced by successive Hokages. If you have any questions that you don't understand, just ask Kakashi-sensei for advice. If it's you, he will definitely not find it troublesome.

."

"Okay." The Seventh Generation nodded, looking at the boy's face that was no different from his own when he was young, and said seriously, "I think you will definitely become a more competent Hokage than me in the future."

"Who can tell what will happen in the future?" The young man put down his chopsticks and sighed softly.

In the next two days, the young Naruto and Sakura, as agreed, repaired the severed limbs of the adult Naru Sa and Kawaki (Akai's leg had already received treatment before). Sasuke and Kakashi

He was not idle either, helping Sai to make up for the loopholes in the ANBU command system, and at the same time learning from Konoha Village's experience in applying information technology to intelligence collection and personnel tracking in the future.

Two days passed by, and the Space-Time Noble Phantasm Turtle Plow was finally fully charged. Naruhina and Sasakura, the Fifth Generation, the Sixth Generation, Akai, Shikamaru, Konohamaru, Saai, Boruto, Sarana, Mitsuki and

Kawaki gathered among the trees above the Hokage Rock to see off Team 7 from another time and space.

"You have helped us a lot this time. We have nothing to repay, so we can only use this gift to express our gratitude. I hope it will be helpful to the development of Konoha Village in your time." The seventh generation Hokage said on behalf of all the farewell personnel.

He bowed deeply to the four of them and handed the scroll in his hand to Kakashi.

This space scroll seals the design drawings of various electronic devices, production equipment and scientific tools, as well as the main progress in various natural science departments such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and so on in the past ten years. It is indeed a piece of research.

A substantial gift.

"If you have any problems that cannot be solved in the future, please contact Naruto directly." Kakashi took the scroll, helped Naruto up, and replied with a smile, "I won't say any more polite words, just

Bottom line: I wish all of you a happy and fulfilling life in the future."

"Father, mother, Qida, you must take care of yourself!" Zoliana stood on tiptoes and waved her right hand vigorously.

"Okay! Then we'll say goodbye and see you again if we have the chance!" The young Naruto waved to his friends who came to see him off.

"Wait a minute! Don't you need a plow to send you back?" Boruto asked anxiously, holding the cute turtle Noble Phantasm in his hand.

"No, Boruto, we imitated the principle of plowing a few days ago and developed a new time and space ninjutsu, just for you to experience." Naruto shook his head, with a confident smile on his face, "Sasuke! "

"I'm right next to you, idiot." Sasuke stretched out his white left hand, "Come on, I'm already ready."

Naruto also stretched out his right hand, interlocking his fingers with Sasuke's, forming a "Chen" seal together. The power of time and space merged in the palms of the two people, quietly seeping into the fibers of time and space, and in their bodies A deep tunnel opened in front of it. Bright starlight faintly shined through the tunnel.

"Let's hit the road, Naruto." Sasuke said calmly.

"Wait a minute, I have something important to give to them." The boy walked up to the Seventh Generation and put a small red button in his big hand. To everyone's surprise, the button After coming into contact with the Seventh Generation's skin, it sank directly into the latter's flesh and disappeared. "This is the parting gift I leave to you - the most powerful forbidden technique that I can currently cast. It only It can be triggered by your chakra, Seventh Generation Hokage, and it can only take effect once, so you must be careful when using it."

The Seventh Generation was affected by the young man's serious expression. He touched his palm, which showed nothing strange, and asked solemnly: "What is the effect of this forbidden technique?"

"I remember I explained to you when we were chatting before that the time stream we are in has been in a state of continuous advancement and bifurcation due to various choices. The backbone that represents our reality is called 'reality' ; And other branches that exist only as a possibility are called 'potential'."

"The effect of this forbidden technique is to replace a certain 'potential' at a branch you specified in the past hour with a new one.

'reality'. In other words, it allows you to change the outcome of any historical event that happened in the past hour."

Everyone looked at the palm of the Seventh Generation's hand in shock. Kakashi, who knew Naruto's abilities best, was the first to ask: "This ability cannot have no limit, right?"

He didn't expect that the other party actually shook his head and gave a negative answer: "Indeed not. The only constraint is the one-hour limit. At the worst, he can change the trajectory of the stone thrown three minutes ago; at worst, he can change the trajectory of the stone thrown three minutes ago; To put it bluntly, he can choose to let the sharp sword that pierced his heart five seconds ago deflect from his body, let the meteorite that just destroyed Konoha Village a minute ago pass by the earth; he can even let the normal operation in the space of the first sphere A fatal flaw suddenly appears in the Six Paths Earth Blast Star. After the Seventh Generation activates this ability, only he will have the memory before the history changed, and everyone else in the universe will regard this new history as a given Reality."

"Is this...is this really a power that humans should get involved in?" The Seventh Generation raised his hand and stared at his palm prints, asking in a pensive voice.

"I believe your heart will guide you on the right path." The young Naruto pointed to the location of the other person's heart, then waved to everyone freely and stepped into the time and space tunnel without looking back.

After receiving the safety signal from Naruto's cross-border, Sasuke let Kakashi and Sakura go in front, and he stayed behind to take charge of the rear. Just when he was about to step into the space-time tunnel, the Seventh Generation Hokage suddenly Stopped him: "Sasuke, can you agree to my request?"

"What's the matter, you say?"

The Seventh Generation looked at the bright stars faintly shining through the space-time tunnel, and said softly: "If possible, can you chat with him more often? The person who can best share his troubles is probably you, right?"

"Kakashi is the one who watched that guy grow up. His skills were first taught to him by Kakashi." Sasuke glanced at the Sixth Generation. "I will tell you what you said."

Be careful." After saying that, he flashed and disappeared into the brilliant starlight.

"No one would believe what I have experienced these days, right?" Tsunade said with emotion as she looked at the space-time door that quickly closed.

"Let's go back first. There's no use standing here. Hinata, you take a rest tonight and I'll cook." Naruto sighed, held his wife's hand, and walked to the Hokage's office alone.

Direction, silently recalling the time he spent with his colleagues.

"Dad!"

Boruto's call woke the Seventh Hokage out of his thoughts. He turned his head and asked in confusion: "What's the matter, Boruto?"

"I was ignorant before and always acted against you. I'm sorry." Boruto lowered his head and said.

"Why did you suddenly think of these?" The Seventh Generation asked with a smile as he pressed Boruto's shoulder.

"Another dad told me along the way about the things you have experienced since childhood. Dad, you usually don't pay attention to the details of life because you have not had your parents around you since you were a child. Dad, you like to eat ramen and instant noodles, right?

Because only the owner of Ichiraku Ramen will not look down upon you.

Look at each other; and dad, you are not good at writing work, it is because you were not taught when you were young, and you were always discriminated against by your classmates in school." Boruto turned his head to the side and said in a low voice, "I obviously don't understand anything.

, but you still point your fingers at you, dad, which is really too much."

A look of relief flashed across Naruto's face. He leaned down and said with a smile: "You can understand Dad, Dad is very happy. But the shortcomings you listed are not wrong. I hope now

Get rid of your bad habits through hard work. You can also supervise me!"

"Yeah!" Boruto quickly came out of his depression and responded crisply.

"I thought you would dislike Dad for not being able to compare with him in every aspect." Naruto smiled and touched his head.

"No, it won't happen, Dad. He told me: Your deeds are one of the biggest motivations for him to reach this point." Boruto looked up at his father, with admiration on his face.

expression.

"Haha, really?" Naruto laughed a few times, but a different kind of warmth emerged in his heart.
