Naruto Paradise

"But this is probably what it looked like before that incident."

It is the land of the Uchiha clan that has never experienced the night of genocide.

In other words, this is a period before the night of genocide, and they have traveled through time and space back to the past.

"No wonder it feels so familiar yet... strange."

Compared to the broken walls and ruins seen every day, the Uchiha clan land here is indeed intact, and even has a unique majestic style.

"So, this is another copy of that dream, right?"

Naruto looked here and there, and recognized some traces of the Uchiha clan's territory.

"The copy mission is..."

"Forget about the mission. We need to figure out what time it is first."

Sasuke interrupted Naruto anxiously.

Because, for some reason, he suddenly felt quite panicked.

There is definitely something wrong with this copy and this place!

"Sasuke, your body..."

With the bright moonlight in the sky, Uchiha Kage found that Sasuke's shadow on the ground was becoming blurred.

It's like...

"Sasuke, you seem to be disappearing, what's going on!?"

Naruto's eyes widened.

In his eyes, Sasuke in front of him looked as if his color had been wiped off, and then his figure was erased bit by bit with an eraser, slowly becoming transparent.

"I……"

Sasuke had noticed the abnormality of his body a long time ago, but he could do nothing but watch his body disappear bit by bit.

"Shadow? You again... No, you're finally here!"

Just as Sasuke's figure was about to disappear, the Uchiha Kage, who was really planning to do something, suddenly found himself tightly embraced by a figure rushing over.

"Mikoto?"

She is the sexy and gentle married woman, Uchiha Mikoto, who has shed her youthfulness.

"Sister Mikoto, Sasuke..."

Naruto was surprised that Sasuke's mother appeared again, and hugged the Uchiha Kage beside him like a lover, but what concerned him more now was Sasuke who had completely disappeared.

"Don't worry, he should be back in his own body... in his own body at this time."

Uchiha Mikoto didn't really care about Sasuke's disappearance.

"W-What do you mean? I don't quite understand..."

Naruto scratched his head.

"Your name is Uzumaki Naruto?"

Letting go of the Uchiha Kage, Uchiha Mikoto began to look Naruto up and down curiously, as if they were meeting for the first time.

This Naruto...

I didn't see it clearly last time, let's take a look this time...

Sure enough, it felt exactly the same as Kushina's.

And he also has a certain degree of similarity with the guy next to him.

"Yeah, didn't I say that last time?"

The sister Mikoto in front of him was much more mature than the one he saw in the last copy. Naruto scratched his head embarrassedly for a moment.

He thought that if he had a mother, she would probably be as beautiful and gentle as Sasuke's mother.

"No, last time I didn't know you were..."

Having said that, Miss Mikoto glanced at the Uchiha Kage who was already lost in thought with a resentful look on her face.

"Anyway, since this is an urgent matter, I'll make it short. Sasuke's soul has now returned to his original body, so the clone that appeared here has disappeared."

"How old is Sasuke now?"

The Uchiha Kage had indeed guessed some things.

However, to confirm this guess, he had to know what time it was.

"Half a year old. I have Itachi taking care of him."

At this moment, Miss Mikoto answered every question from Uchiha Kage and Naruto as if she had predicted the future.

"Itachi has become very well behaved under my guidance. Such a thing will definitely not happen again in the future."

She added to what she said to the Uchiha Kage.

"I see, then let's go find Jiu now..."

There was indeed an unusual atmosphere in the space.

Uchiha Kage roughly understood what this copy was related to.

"What's the point of copying? What's the point of the future? What are you talking about?"

Naruto had no idea what Uchiha Kage and Uchiha Mikoto were talking about.

"I only know that the mission requires us to help someone named Kushina..."

"That's right, we'll go find Kushina now."

Uchiha Mikoto reached out and took Uchiha Kage's hand, then playfully squeezed it a little harder.

"Looking for your good wife."

After answering Naruto's question, he whispered in Uchiha Kage's ear.

"I……"

Uchiha Kage said that he knew nothing yet.

"Don't worry, 'you' have told me everything. I know that you are just..."

As if she could read minds, Uchiha Mikoto easily saw through Uchiha Kage's inner thoughts.

"However, whether it's them or you, you are both unique at the same time and cannot be repeated. So you are still you, and it's not wrong for me to be jealous of you."

"But in terms of memory..."

I didn't expect that not only Samui and Hinata, but even I myself cannot exist in the same time and space at the same time?

Uchiha Kage felt a little helpless.

What happened today, or rather this copy, may be beyond his control.

"Besides, you haven't gone to the future. This is still the past. You can't interfere with your future self, and your future self can't interfere... cough... He might want to interfere with you through me, but I can ignore him."

Maybe this is what true jealousy is?

Mikoto explained as she hurried out with the still confused Naruto and Uchiha Kage.

“I don’t understand anything.”

Naruto felt like his brain was about to explode.

"It's okay, you'll understand later. Now..."

Uchiha Mikoto took out two masks from her arms and handed them to Uchiha Kage and Naruto respectively.

"Take this with you. If you're too conspicuous, it could lead to the failure of your mission."

"He's lying to you."

Since repetition is impossible, there should be no paradox.

In other words, there can be no future of 'failure' or a present of initial success; the two would only contradict each other.

There should be other reasons to wear a mask.

Uchiha Kage thought.

"Ying, are you jealous? Jealous of yourself?"

It's quite rare to see Uchiha Mikoto being so upset.

"Well, actually, everything was my own decision, whether it was coming to you today or other things, including this mask."

There was no other way. Mikoto, who didn't want to bully her lover too much, had to tell the truth.

Everything that happened today was just her own decision. She was venting a little bit of resentment in her own way and protecting the other person in her own way, not because of anyone's instructions.

"You told me this after you returned today... you told my past self, and after that..."

When Uchiha Mikoto said this, the expression on her face became even more resentful.

She should indeed be jealous, jealous of her future self, jealous of Kushina, and jealous of her past self that Uchiha Kage would meet when he returned later.

Because since "this day", she has never seen him again...

"What happened after that?"

After hearing this, the Uchiha Kage finally calmed down.

At the same time, he also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Mikoto in front of him.

Especially when you pick it up for the first time after entering the dungeon.

"I don't want to explain to you, a cheating guy, right now!"

It was rare that the usually gentle Mikoto suddenly had an argument with the Uchiha Kage.

"Mikoto, you..."

The Uchiha Kage became increasingly aware of something unusual.

"Wait, can you guys stop? I'm getting more and more confused the more I listen... Mikoto-san, aren't you Sasuke's mother? Why are you and Kage..."

Like a couple quarreling, or showing affection by pulling and tugging in front of him?

Naruto was very confused by the scene before him.

"It's okay, Naruto, you can call me mom, just like Sasuke."

Without responding to Uchiha Kage's question, Mikoto returned to her usual gentle self and said to Naruto with a smile.

Then he continued to pinch Uchiha Kage's palm in various ways.

"Really, really!?"

Naruto, who had just been wondering if he would be as beautiful and gentle as Sasuke's mother if he had one, was so happy after hearing this.

If he wasn't still on the road, he would definitely jump up and down to vent his excitement and excitement.

He has a mother...

Although it is in a copy.

And this mother...

After thinking about Sasuke's mother's death, Naruto couldn't help but feel sad again.

No, that's not right. With this magical copy, Sasuke's mother will definitely be fine!

"We're here. This is where Kushina... is. Let's go in quickly."

After crossing a short section of the Death Forest, Uchiha Mikoto brought Uchiha Kage and Naruto to a hidden cave.

"Kushina is so afraid of pain, she must be waiting for you anxiously now."
