Chapter Index

    “What game?”

    Naruto stood on his tiptoes, leaning closer to the golden earrings in Obito’s hand, sparks of curiosity dancing in his azure eyes.

    “These earrings are called potara earrings. If you both wear them, you can fuse into one person. You might even become stronger instantly.”

    Obito patted Naruto’s head and crouched down to be at eye level with the two three-year-olds, holding one earring in each hand as he introduced them.

    In the Great War of a parallel world, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke displayed excellent compatibility.

    Even when they were fused, if one person was injured and the other was severely wounded, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke still displayed terrifying strength after fusing. Even Six Paths Uchiha Madara suffered quite a bit at the hands of the fused Naruto.

    Obito felt that there shouldn’t be much difference between counterparts, so Namikaze Naruto and Xiao Sasuke should also have high compatibility.

    To prevent any issues, Obito specifically went to consult with Muzuki.

    After confirming that there wouldn’t be any specific problems with children fusing, he decided to let Naruto and Xiao Sasuke give it a try.

    “No.”

    Xiao Sasuke suddenly crossed his arms and turned his face away.

    “If we fuse, wouldn’t he also become Brother’s little brother?”

    Xiao Sasuke said righteously.

    The Naruto who plays with him is good.

    The Naruto who wants to steal Brother from him is bad!

    Uchiha Itachi is his brother alone!

    “The fusion time is only one hour at most, it’s not like you’ll become one person forever.”

    Obito explained.

    “So magical, is it real or fake?”

    Boruto looked at the potara earrings with skeptical eyes; he had never heard of such a thing.

    “Of course it’s real. If it’s Naruto and Xiao Sasuke, after fusing, you might even be able to easily master Ninjutsu like the Rasengan.”

    Obito speculated based on the performance of the fused Naruto.

    Naruto and Xiao Sasuke looked at each other, both feeling a bit tempted.

    As long as they put on the earrings, they could master Ninjutsu. Although it could only last for one hour at most, it was hard to refuse.

    “Do you want to play?”

    Obito asked in the end.

    “Yes!” × 2

    With Obito’s help, Naruto and Xiao Sasuke each put on an earring.

    Accompanied by a flash of dazzling white light, a blond child who possessed the characteristics of both Naruto and Sasuke appeared before Obito and Boruto.

    The fused Naruto was much taller than Naruto and Xiao Sasuke, looking like a five or six-year-old child.

    “He really turned into one person, and he got taller.”

    Boruto said in surprise.

    He didn’t expect this more backward era to actually have such a magical item.

    “Rasengan? It is indeed a simple Ninjutsu.”

    The fused Naruto closed his eyes, recalling the Rasengan that Boruto and Obito had just used.

    A minute later, the fused Naruto opened his eyes and extended his right hand; a basketball-sized ball of Chakra appeared in his palm.

    Obito’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t even started learning Ninja knowledge, yet he could use it after seeing it twice. He wanted to report it to the Sage Muzuki; someone was cheating here!

    Boom!

    The fused Naruto casually slammed the Rasengan into the ground, creating a pit about three meters wide.

    “Blond brat, let’s have a battle between Ninjas.”

    The fused Naruto provoked Boruto.

    Boruto was speechless.

    However, before Boruto could respond, Obito spoke up:

    “Boruto isn’t feeling well lately, he can’t fight.”

    “I, the fused Naruto, don’t bully the sick. We’ll fight when you get better.”

    The fused Naruto gave up on the plan to teach the naturally evil blond brat a lesson.

    “Brother Obito, let’s go.”

    The fused Naruto changed his target to Obito.

    Although in the fused Naruto’s memory, Obito was a Jonin with decent strength, he felt that he was very strong now and might not lose to Obito.

    “You want to challenge me too? Then come on.”

    Obito was a bit surprised, but readily agreed.

    “Battle start!”

    Boruto, acting as the referee, shouted.

    “Rasengan!”

    At Boruto’s command, the fused Naruto instantly erupted with Chakra, using the only Ninjutsu he had mastered to rush towards Obito.

    Because of his powerful Chakra, the fused Naruto displayed a speed that surprised Boruto.

    Compared to the energetic Boruto, Obito appeared somewhat leisurely.

    Obito didn’t dodge or evade, staying in place and letting the fused Naruto approach.

    To prevent hurting Obito, the fused Naruto had to cancel the Rasengan and switched to a left-arm elbow strike.

    However, the moment the fused Naruto’s elbow reached Obito’s body, the fused Naruto revealed a dumbfounded expression.

    The fused Naruto’s body passed through Obito’s body as if passing through a phantom, failing to cause any damage to Obito at all.

    Instead, Obito took this opportunity to knock the fused Naruto on the head.

    “It’s not that simple to defeat your Brother Obito.”

    Obito said with a smug smile.

    Possessing the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he had achieved freedom with Kamui; now he could use Kamui however he wanted.

    The fused Naruto didn’t believe it and tried a few more times, but couldn’t even touch the corner of Obito’s clothes.

    “I won’t fight anymore, Brother Obito, you are better.”

    The fused Naruto, unable to touch anyone, admitted defeat directly.

    What else could he do if he couldn’t hit anyone?

    “This guy is really nasty.”

    Boruto’s mouth twitched slightly. A dignified Jonin coming to bully two three-year-olds.

    “However, these earrings are really strong.”

    Boruto felt ambivalent.

    After watching the battle, he realized that he might not be able to beat the fused Naruto.

    The fused Naruto was simply a super kid; after fighting for a little while, he was getting stronger and stronger.

    “Brother Obito, I want to learn this.”

    The fused Naruto said.

    “I can’t teach you this. When you have the Rinnegan in the future, we can take turns playing with it.”

    Obito touched his chin and said.

    He hadn’t used the Rinnegan yet; when he fused with Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Obito’s Rinnegan had already been given to Nagato.

    “Where can that earring be bought?”

    Boruto thought about it and asked.

    If the potara earrings could be bought, Boruto would even borrow money from Sasuke to buy a pair.

    Xiao Sasuke and Naruto’s fusion was so powerful; if his father and Sasuke fused, it would surely be even more powerful. Then, even if Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki revived inside him, he would be easily defeated.

    “There is no place that sells them; these are Teacher Muzuki’s Ninja tools.”

    Obito retorted.

    “Is that so.”

    Boruto was a little disappointed, but not too surprised.

    After all, it was such a powerful item, it must be something very rare.

    The Ninja training experience ended, and Obito took Boruto and the fused Naruto to the commercial street to play.

    “Is this Namikaze Naruto?”

    The bounty Ninja hired by Isshiki looked at the fused Naruto from the shadows, then looked at the photo in his hand, falling into deep thought.

    Blond hair, looks like the Fourth Hokage and the Fifth Generation, without a doubt, these are the characteristics of Namikaze Naruto.

    However, the specific appearance had slight discrepancies with the photo the bounty Ninja received.

    “It should be him, I haven’t heard of Minato Namikaze having any other children.”

    Another ordinary-looking bounty Ninja said in a low voice.

    “But this height isn’t right, is he this tall at three years old?”

    The bounty Ninja still felt something was off.

    Is this really three years old?

    “Maybe the Hokage’s child eats well.”

    “Let’s lurk and investigate a bit more. If we don’t succeed in one fell swoop, Konoha will definitely be on guard.”

    The bounty Ninja thought it over carefully and still chose not to act.

    Kidnapping the current Hokage’s son inside Konoha was obviously a death-wish mission; they had to act cautiously, otherwise, they would have money but no life to spend it.

    When Obito asked and learned that the fused Naruto was about to be unable to maintain the fusion, to prevent any strange urban legends, he brought the fused Naruto and Boruto into the Kamui Dimension.

    “So tired, but it was really fun.”

    Naruto caught his breath and then smiled.

    The feeling of fusion was very magical; even though it was a consciousness fusion, after it ended, Naruto still had the memories from the period of the fused Naruto.

    “Yes, it was very fun.”

    Xiao Sasuke agreed.

    “Rasengan!”

    Naruto reached out his hand, wanting to use the Rasengan according to the feeling in his memory.

    Blue Chakra condensed briefly on Naruto’s hand and then dissipated rapidly.

    “Why is it like this?”

    Naruto was a bit confused; clearly, in his memory, he had already mastered it.

    “The fused Naruto mastering it doesn’t mean you, Naruto, have mastered it. The Ninja after soul fusion is too strong.”

    Obito explained.

    The configuration of the fused Ninja was too high, especially for people like Naruto and Xiao Sasuke who had extremely high compatibility.

    So, even the Ninjutsu learned during the fusion period didn’t mean Naruto and Xiao Sasuke could use it just the same.

    “But don’t be discouraged. As long as you practice fusion often, it will still be faster than normal training.”

    Kakashi was able to quickly master the Limitless by relying on the Potara earring training method.

    “Can we play with the earrings every day?”

    Naruto asked with shining eyes.

    “Of course not. You haven’t reached the age to train yet; there will be plenty of time for you to practice later.”

    Obito refused mercilessly.

    Naruto and Xiao Sasuke were too young and more susceptible to the effects of fusion.

    “Eh, then at what age can we play?”

    Xiao Sasuke asked.

    He really wanted to use the potara earrings with Uchiha Itachi; he felt that the fused Ninja would definitely be very powerful.

    “When you behave well, I will let you play.”

    Obito took back the potara earrings without giving a precise answer.

    Then Obito used Kamui to teleport directly to the Hokage Rock mountain, taking them to overlook Konoha together.

    They played together until the afternoon before Obito sent Naruto and Xiao Sasuke home.

    Because they had played for most of the day, Xiao Sasuke was already tired, so he stayed at home and didn’t go out until Uchiha Itachi returned from training.

    “Brother, welcome home.”

    Seeing Uchiha Itachi return, Xiao Sasuke greeted him with a smile.

    However, when he saw Sasuke following behind Uchiha Itachi, Xiao Sasuke puffed up his cheeks again, staring at Sasuke with what he considered his most fierce gaze, as if asking, “Why are you here again?”

    That time Itachi stood him up caused huge damage to this three-year-old child, and the culprit was undoubtedly this guy named “Suigetsu”.

    Sasuke:…

    “Sure enough, parallel worlds will be different.”

    Sasuke thought to himself.

    He wouldn’t be like this when he was a child.

    “Sasuke, did you listen to Mom obediently today?”

    Uchiha Itachi smiled and walked up to Xiao Sasuke, patting Xiao Sasuke’s head as he asked.

    “Yes, but I wasn’t home for a long time today; I went out to play with Naruto, Brother Obito, and the blond brat.”

    Xiao Sasuke said enthusiastically, really wanting to share today’s happy time with Uchiha Itachi.

    “Blond brat?”

    Uchiha Itachi showed a puzzled expression; he didn’t expect such a term to pop out of his cute little brother’s mouth.

    “It’s Boruto, a new friend. It’s all Naruto’s fault for always calling him that, which made me say it subconsciously.”

    Realizing he had misspoken, Xiao Sasuke covered his mouth and quickly blamed Naruto.

    “Naruto, Boruto…”

    Sasuke covered his forehead. As intelligent as he was, he couldn’t imagine the scene Xiao Sasuke described.

    A three-year-old Naruto calling a twelve-year-old Boruto a blond brat was just too absurd.

    “Why would Boruto be with the two of them, and why was Obito there too?”

    Sasuke frowned slightly, feeling that things were not simple.

    “Brother Obito taught us how to fuse, it’s amazing.”

    Xiao Sasuke continued, recalling the powerful strength during the fusion, his little face full of excited smiles.

    “Fusion?”

    Sasuke’s expression was serious. Why was this evil Uchiha Obito teaching children this stuff?

    “What is fusion?”

    Uchiha Itachi asked with a blank expression.

    He couldn’t quite understand what this term meant.

    “It’s that there’s a pair of earrings; if two people wear them together, they can become one person. They will become very powerful and can learn Ninjutsu instantly.”

    Xiao Sasuke explained, gesturing wildly.

    “So that’s how it is.”

    Uchiha Itachi revealed an expression of sudden realization.

    Sasuke was a bit speechless; it turned out to be fusion in the literal sense.

    “Perhaps the differences between parallel worlds are even greater than I imagined.”

    Sasuke thought to himself. He had never heard of any earrings that could allow people to fuse. There was a forbidden Jutsu that could fuse with a summoning beast, but human-to-human was clearly different from human-to-beast.

    “Did you say thank you to Brother Obito? Such an item must be very precious, to actually give it to you to play with.”

    Uchiha Itachi’s gaze quickly scanned Xiao Sasuke’s body, and after confirming there were no changes, he said.

    “I’ve thanked him. Brother Obito is indeed a very good person. He even said that when I have the Rinnegan in the future, he’ll trade his Kamui for my Rinnegan to play with.”

    Xiao Sasuke nodded and said.

    He didn’t know what the Rinnegan was, but he knew that Kamui was a powerful method to phase through attacks.

    “Rinnegan!”

    Sasuke’s expression became grave.

    How did the Uchiha Obito of this world know that “he” possessed the potential to awaken the Rinnegan?

    “No, I must start probing Uchiha Obito as soon as possible.”

    Sasuke had a bad premonition. Perhaps the Obito of the parallel world was more cunning and insidious than the Obito he knew.

    The Obito of their world, although hidden deep, only hid within the Akatsuki Organization.

    But the Obito of this world stayed in Konoha openly and was deeply valued by Minato Namikaze and Hayate Mugetsu, which was terrifying.

    If this was a disguise, then the disguise of the two was simply not on the same level.

    Sasuke boldly speculated that Black Zetsu of this world might have taken different actions.

    Resulting in this world not being Black Zetsu controlling Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara then controlling Obito, but rather Black Zetsu directly guiding Obito.

    That was why the Obito of this world had such a huge difference in circumstances from the Obito he knew.

    PS:

    Brothers, Happy New Year. May you make a lot of money in the new year, and may good things happen one after another.
