Chapter 650 Encounter
After leaving the administrative building, the group of people led by Nakamura Kabuto were still in a daze.
Deidara looked at the secretary next to him who was assigned by Tsunade to lead the group and asked with a strange expression.
"This Tsunade-sama, has always been..."
Deidara was struggling for a long time, and couldn't think of how to describe the other party's vigorous and decisiveness.
Shizune, who was arranged by Tsunade to be the guide of the four people, was stunned at first after hearing Deidara's question, but then she showed a gentle smile.
"Tsunade-sama, has always been a gentle person~"
After hearing this, the four people had different expressions.
Only Nakamura Kabuto, who had had several contacts with Ai, nodded thoughtfully.
'Perhaps, the other party's gentleness is not superficial, but silently chooses to shoulder more responsibilities on her shoulders.'
On the way, the four people learned about the current situation of Konoha City and the energy plant from Shizune, who served as a guide.
After learning that Kurama, the "core" of the energy plant, or the large generator, has been complaining about welfare issues recently.
From the initial desire for a matching oversized projection screen, to now even wanting a customized large tailed beast version for novels.
However, several applications to Tsunade were rejected due to funding issues, which is why it is a little upset.
Several people also know that this matter can be big or small, so they decisively follow Shizune and walk towards the commercial street together.
On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Boruto, who traveled back from the future, have also disguised themselves and returned to the street to start a new round of intelligence collection.
After the two got rid of the guards' sight, the strange turtle named "Karasuki" that Boruto had been holding in his hand suddenly spoke.
According to the other party's explanation, his artifact named "Karasuki" is actually a treasure belonging to the Otsutsuki clan.
Otsutsuki Urashiki was worried that he could not defeat Uzumaki Naruto, who had defeated Otsutsuki Momoshiki, so he wanted to use this treasure to travel through time and return to Uzumaki Naruto's childhood to take the power of the Nine-Tails from him.
However, due to the sudden appearance of Sasuke and Boruto, and the battle that occurred during the time travel, the travel was deviated.
The current time node should be the time when the fifth generation Tsunade served as Hokage. Although Sasuke and the others arrived earlier than Urashiki, the other party will follow in a few days and appear in this world.
However, this is just the "Karasuki" statement.
After Sasuke's observation, this place is obviously not a simple "past". It may be a node in the past in terms of time, but the Konoha he once experienced is really too different from the one in front of him.
Although Sasuke himself does not have any concept of "parallel time and space", he can also analyze similar situations roughly.
"Fortunately, it can be confirmed that this is not a simple illusion world."
Touching the aching Rinnegan, Uchiha Sasuke thought so.
And because it was confirmed that this was not a world of illusion similar to the "Infinite Tsukuyomi", Uchiha Sasuke was still prepared to proceed according to the original plan.
However, it seemed that he did not need to care about what the "Karasuki" said, that too much contact with people in history would affect the future time and space.
"At least, we can't let Urashiki successfully take away the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body."
At this moment, the most important thing for Uchiha Sasuke is to find Uzumaki Naruto who is in this era and protect him after Urashiki arrives.
"Oh~ It's so big~~"
While Uchiha Sasuke was thinking, Boruto beside him suddenly stopped and pointed in a direction and exclaimed.
Sasuke frowned slightly and looked in the direction Boruto pointed. There was a luxuriously decorated three-story building with the words "Ichiraku Ramen" written on the sign of the store.
"Is Uncle Ichiraku's business failing? Such a big store has become smaller and smaller?"
Seeing the strange looks from the passers-by around him, Sasuke quickly grabbed Boruto and stopped him from making such a fuss.
"This is not our time and space. Ichiraku Ramen was indeed a very small store before."
Sasuke felt more and more uncomfortable, but he was still cautiously preparing to take Boruto away from here.
And this completely different history that appeared again also gave Uchiha Sasuke some different ideas.
'If there is no need to worry about changing history and causing time and space confusion, perhaps we can directly try to contact Tsunade-sama and remind Konoha to take precautions first.'
Just when Sasuke was thinking whether to go directly to the Hokage Building after learning some basic information about this time and space.
Several familiar voices came from the side of the two.
"This is the famous Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha. Kurama-sama seems to like the taste of Ichiraku Ramen very much. It even invested part of its salary in this store."
"Now let's go to buy novels and videotapes for Kurama-sama. After the purchase is finished, we can eat here directly. It will also be convenient to bring a meal to Kurama-sama when we leave."
Shizune, who was leading Nakamura Kabuto and his group to the audio-visual store, introduced it to everyone very diligently when passing by Ichiraku Ramen.
Deidara listened to Shizune's introduction, looked at the luxurious store, and asked Uchiha Itachi beside him with some curiosity.
"Itachi, I remember you grew up in Konoha when you were a kid, right? Have you ever eaten this Ichiraku Ramen?"
In fact, Uchiha Itachi had moved to the Kirigakure Village when he was four years old. When he was older, after the establishment of the empire, he came to the imperial capital to go to school.
Things in Konoha when he was a kid had already become a little vague in his memory.
However, when asked by Deidara, he still subconsciously looked in the direction of Ichiraku Ramen, with a gentle smile on his face.
"I've been here, but there wasn't such a big store at that time. As for what it tastes like, you'll know when you come to eat later, right?"
He smiled and shook his head, and followed the footsteps of the people in front of him and continued to move forward.
However, after Uchiha Itachi and the others walked away, Uchiha Sasuke was stunned and stood there.
Although the people who just passed by him, 'Yakushi Kabuto', Shizune, and Deidara, were not unfamiliar to him.
But in Sasuke's sight, there was only that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
What was familiar was that the man had appeared in Sasuke's memories and dreams countless times.
What was unfamiliar was that in his memory, the man had never smiled so peacefully and easily.
