At this moment, Mikoto spoke up.
"Then… what about our Satsuki?"
Hearing this, Nagi hesitated.
Fugaku noticed the change in his expression, and his heart skipped a beat. Still, he said calmly:
"It's fine, Nagi. Don't worry about anything. Just tell us."
"…Alright."
Nagi organized his thoughts before speaking.
"In our world, Satsuki is called Sasuke, and he's a boy."
"But later… Sasuke also became an orphan."
"…."
Fugaku, Mikoto, and Satsuki all fell silent.
Why did their counterpart become an orphan too?
"When Sasuke was young, he lived a happy life. But in Konoha Year 55, the Uchiha Clan was massacred, and Sasuke became an orphan from that day on."
"!!!"
Another bombshell dropped.
Everyone nearby was stunned.
"The Uchiha Clan was massacred!? How could that happen? Who did it?!"
Fugaku could hardly believe that the mighty Uchiha Clan had been wiped out.
Nagi quickly added,
"The personalities of people in our two worlds are different, and there were many complicated reasons behind the massacre. But don't worry—something like that will definitely not happen in this world."
Fugaku pressed further.
"Then who carried out the massacre?"
"…It was your eldest son."
"Uchiha Itachi."
"!!!"
Another bomb exploded.
Fugaku, Mikoto, and the others stared in disbelief.
What did he just say? Our son wiped out the Uchiha Clan?
"And Uncle Fugaku, Aunt Mikoto… you both willingly died by Itachi's blade."
"After that, Sasuke devoted his entire life to revenge."
Mikoto immediately burst into tears.
Her eldest son massacred the clan.
Her youngest son lived in endless hatred and revenge.
In the end, the two brothers would fight each other.
What kind of nightmare was this?
Fugaku lowered his head in silence, his heart in torment.
Nagi spoke gently:
"In Konoha Year 61, I deliberately provoked Sasuke and had him become my assistant."
"Over the following years we became close friends."
"Sometimes he was too impatient, so I used the promise of reviving Aunt Mikoto as motivation for him."
After a while, Mikoto gradually stopped crying.
She and Fugaku both bowed deeply to Nagi, thanking him for taking care of Sasuke.
Meanwhile, Satsuki was completely dumbfounded.
Why was my counterpart's life so tragic?
Hiashi hesitated.
Could it be… that our Hinata also suffered like that?
But Hinata spoke first.
"Nagi… what about the me in your world?"
Nagi paused.
How should he describe her?
He nodded.
"In our world, her name is also Hinata, and she's a girl as well."
The three girls immediately tensed.
"Our Hinata is similar to the one here… but her personality is completely the opposite."
"And the conflict between the Main Branch and Branch Families of the Hyuga Clan is extremely serious."
Everyone imagined a gentle, shy Hinata.
…It felt strangely unnatural.
"Oh—and by the way."
"In that world, Hinata is in love with Naruto."
Hinata and Naruko's eyes widened.
"What?! The me in that world likes Naruto?!"
Hinata was stunned.
That version of me doesn't like Nagi?
"Huh? Stop joking."
Naruko snorted.
"If I were a guy, I'd stay at least ten thousand miles away from Hinata. She's way too domineering."
After a moment of silence…
Kushina suddenly said,
"In that case, let's hold Nagi's birthday party now."
"Yes. Before you leave, we should celebrate properly."
Mikoto immediately agreed.
Minato, Fugaku, and Hiashi helped prepare the decorations.
Meanwhile—
Hinata, Naruko, and Satsuki clung tightly to Nagi.
Hugging him, kissing him, refusing to let go.
They claimed they needed to store up some "Nagi energy."
After some time…
Everything was ready.
Kushina pushed out a birthday cake.
After Nagi made his wish, Naruko handed him their gift.
Nagi accepted it happily.
"Thank you for the gifts, everyone. Though I'm not sure if I'll be able to take them with me."
"Hehe, that's fine," Naruko said.
"If you can't, we'll send them to your house later."
"But you have to come back and visit!"
"…I will."
Just as he finished speaking—
A soft white light began glowing from Nagi, Samui, Shizuka, and Amayo.
Nagi said reluctantly,
"Looks like… the time has come."
Genma stepped forward.
"Nagi, take care of yourself."
"And remember to come home often."
"I will. Cousin, you take care as well."
"Nagi… and Shizuka, Samui, Amayo…"
"Goodbye!" ×9
"Goodbye!" ×4
With a flash of white light—
Nagi and the others disappeared from everyone's sight.
[Jiraiya]: Is it over?
[Orochimaru]: It's over.
[Tsunade]: Nagi has finally returned. That other-world journey really lasted a long time.
[Ōnoki]: Right… but Isshiki is still there near the Dragon Vein.
[Orochimaru]: With Nagi's power already at Six Paths Level, plus that powerful sealing technique, Isshiki shouldn't be a problem.
[Hashirama Senju]: That's good.
But the screen continued showing more.
After Nagi disappeared, the tears Kushina and Mikoto had been holding back finally began to fall.
Minato, Fugaku, Hiashi, and Genma stood there silently.
Suddenly—
BOOM!!!
Three terrifying surges of chakra erupted without warning.
Minato was shocked by the sudden pressure.
Everyone turned toward the source—
Naruko, Satsuki, and Hinata.
Naruko's face was covered with golden markings.
Satsuki's eyes had transformed into Rinnegan.
Hinata's eyes had become sky-blue Tenseigan.
The overwhelming surge of power from the three of them shook the entire village of Konoha.
[Hashirama Senju]: Naruko is using Sage Mode… and judging by that aura, her Sage power might even surpass mine.
[Madara Uchiha]: Satsuki awakened the Rinnegan. Her strength has increased dramatically.
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki]: That girl Hinata really awakened the Tenseigan. Impressive.
[Tsunade]: What's going on with those three?
[Jiraiya]: Did they just activate cheat codes!?
[Orochimaru]: Nagi, what do you think?
[Nagi]: Sigh… Naruko and Satsuki were probably overwhelmed with emotion and directly awakened the chakra of Asura and Indra.
[Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki]: That's correct, Nagi. Though… it feels slightly different.
[Nagi]: It's more than just awakening it. Their overwhelming emotions probably caused them to completely devour the chakra of Asura and Indra.
"Their power has fully reached Six Paths Level."
"But at least now, Asura and Indra can finally rest peacefully in the Pure Land."
[Asura]: …
[Indra]: …
You could have just said we're completely dead.
[Hiashi Hyuga]: But Hinata really awakened the Tenseigan.
[Hamura Ōtsutsuki]: Yes. And her power has reached a truly terrifying level.
