Satoru truthfully recorded the intelligence Sasuke provided.
I hope he doesn't appear too early.
The current lineup isn't good for a fight.
Or even better, if he doesn't appear at all.
It would be best if he fell into some trash dimension.
"That's all the information we have about Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
He might have other unknown abilities," Sasuke concluded.
"Mhm, I'll handle it. I hope he doesn't show up.
Otherwise, it'll be too much trouble!" Satoru exclaimed.
Buzz!
Just then, Satoru felt a ripple.
A turtle appeared before them.
Treasured Tool: Plow
"I said, you must do exactly as you just said.
Otherwise, your interaction with people from the future could affect history.
They might even disappear."
The turtle spoke to Satoru.
The latter sentence was directed at Sasuke and the others.
"What a unique Summoning Beast," Satoru remarked, looking at the pink-bodied turtle with a green shell.
"You idiot, I am Treasured Tool: Plow, a treasured tool capable of traversing time and space.
Quickly seal your memories, or if anything happens, the future truly might be altered!" the turtle urged.
Boruto and Sasuke looked at Satoru.
"What's the rush? We haven't finished chatting yet. I still want to ask, how many children do I have in the future?
Four, five, six, or eight?" Satoru asked with interest.
"How strong are they? Are they Ninja, or do they inherit our family business?
Or perhaps they're in other professions? They must be very capable people..." He rattled off a string of questions.
"..."
The two people and one turtle were speechless by him. A whole bunch of questions, all about daily life.
The turtle said, "My temporal energy is fully stored. I need to return to the future. I can only say this much. Hurry up and seal your memories."
It was also afraid it wouldn't be able to get out later!
"Hey, don't leave so fast! Since you only arrived a few days ago and have already stored enough temporal energy,
doesn't that mean you can control time and space? That ability is too strong!
Can I learn it?
Your existence is reasonable, so I should be able to too, right?" Satoru asked.
"...The fluctuations of time and space cannot be used frequently.
They can only be activated at a certain node, such as when the future Ōtsutsuki activates me.
That is the node. I am just a treasured tool," the turtle said, exasperated.
Why hasn't he sealed his memories yet?
Buzz buzz!
Just then, a vortex appeared behind Sasuke and the others.
"Hurry, or the time-space gate will close!" the turtle urged Sasuke and Boruto.
"Alright, alright.unitary-state-Hai-... Memory Seal." Satoru closed his eyes, forming hand signs, and his Chakra activated.
After watching his Chakra flow, Sasuke nodded to Boruto and the turtle. The two people and one turtle jumped into the passage.
The vortex slowly twisted and finally disappeared.
Satoru, who had his eyes closed, opened them: "I was tricking you. With an unknown enemy present, how could I possibly seal my memories?
I'm not stupid. But it's still best not to affect the future too much."
Release!
Dense signals transmitted along the nerves in his body, re-entering his brain.
It turned out Sasuke's Sharingan wasn't useless just now; the future Sasuke's eye power was indeed formidable.
It was just that he already had intelligence and had prepared countermeasures.
Before meeting Sasuke, he had already sealed the brain's mechanism for controlling the body's modifications, switching to using nerves to drive all aspects of his body.
This was equivalent to converting the brain's central processor into individual cloud processors, distributed throughout his entire body.
Thus, Sasuke's disruption of his brain's Chakra was completely ineffective.
Wrong choice, wasted effort.
This was his first line of defense against Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi.
The second line was Heart Steel.
This was to account for that momentary flaw when under a genjutsu. If the enemy had partners, it would be troublesome.
After all, this was a world where even villains teamed up.
"However, I won't say I'll change anything about the future, but Urashiki should.
In what way will he appear, and at what time? That is a problem." Satoru couldn't help but think.
The work for the Fourth Shinobi World War was already enough; he didn't expect an additional Urashiki.
Don't let me see you, or I'll definitely make you my test subject.
Damn it.
You bastard, disrupting people's lives.
"No wonder I'll establish some bureau in the future; experiments are indeed necessary."
He stroked his chin.
Now Sasuke and Boruto have returned.
He needs to emphasize the intelligence Sasuke just provided and prepare Ninjutsu to deal with this guy.
He has Byakugan and Rinnegan.
Just the basic abilities of the Byakugan can see through Chakra flow, and the Rinnegan has too many abilities.
He's going to be busy again.
"Urashiki, just you wait. Appear a little later. Not only will I use you as a test subject,
but I'll also invite our great biologist, who has turned over a new leaf,
to deeply dissect you." Satoru was furious.
Since his future self sent a message telling him to follow the original plan, it meant that his future self was doing well, and this was the optimal solution.
And the optimal solution, naturally, was to let Orochimaru assassinate his master and take Sasuke as his disciple.
This was a critical node in the future.
And in the future, Sasuke would kill Orochimaru, then revive him, and Orochimaru would lay down his butcher's knife.
He just needed a scientist, and everything formed a closed loop.
Urashiki was destined to be a test subject.
At worst, he would learn Edo Tensei later and occasionally release the Third Hokage to check on Konohamaru.
That's a really good idea.
No, he needs to get some cells required for the Third Hokage's Edo Tensei. Everything for survival.
Third Hokage, I'm sorry.
I'll occasionally let you out for a stroll, if you don't mind.
As for why he wants to invite Orochimaru, it's naturally because he discovered that his own scientific ability and scientific thinking were not as professional as Orochimaru's.
He had long realized that in terms of developing and learning Ninjutsu, his talent was exceptionally high, especially in Yin Release.
In terms of science, it's not that he had no talent, but he couldn't reach the true pinnacle.
It all relied on wisdom accumulated from a vast amount of knowledge.
Compared to Orochimaru, he was indeed a bit lacking.
Trying to do things that true geniuses should do, relying on wisdom accumulated from knowledge, would be twice the effort for half the result!
No wonder Boruto called him Director. So that's why.
In the future, he would create a Technology Development Bureau, he would be the Director, and then invite Orochimaru to be the Deputy Director. Orochimaru would be the Chief Scientist, and he would be the Vice-Chief.
Then invite some other experts to assist.
Thinking about it, it seems pretty good.
"This way, I can withdraw from Konoha's front lines and switch to logistics.
I'll have more time to do whatever I want.
If I don't want to work overtime, I'll apply for a project and work on it slowly, saying I'm busy.
With my strength and status, who would dare say anything?
Wow, no wonder I'll become a Director in the future.
He's truly a genius; it's perfect for me, a working man!" Satoru thought more and more, and it seemed more and more feasible.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, you deserve to die.
What's going on? We haven't even met?
