Chapter 795 Kushina: It must be Mu Yue’s son!
by Sunflower“Ouch.”
Boruto fell from mid-air, and before he could adjust his posture, he landed face-first on the grass.
“Where is this place? And where are Mr. Sasuke and that scoundrel Ōtsutsuki Urashiki?”
Boruto touched his slightly reddened face and looked around, realizing that both his teacher and his enemy were gone.
Only the small turtle he had desperately snatched was still in his hand.
Boruto carefully surveyed his surroundings, concluding that this must be a park.
“What the heck, I’m still in Konoha after all. I thought I had gone to some strange place.”
After leaving the park, Boruto saw a Konoha Ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he was still in Konoha, the next steps were simple: return the item, and Sasuke would handle the rest.
“That’s strange. Which district is this? I don’t even recognize it.”
Boruto put the silent small turtle into his bag, intending to return to the Cultural Relics Research Institute, but found that he didn’t know the way here.
“Excuse me, do you know the way to the Cultural Relics Research Institute?”
At that moment, Boruto happened to see a red-haired female Ninja and immediately went up to her and asked.
“Cultural Relics Research Institute?”
Kushina scratched her head. She vaguely remembered hearing a similar term but had forgotten where.
“Yes.”
Boruto nodded with certainty.
“I think it’s in that direction.”
Kushina pointed north with some uncertainty.
“Thank you, goodbye.”
Boruto politely thanked her and then walked north.
However, after a few steps, he couldn’t help but look back at Kushina.
“Why does this red-haired auntie look so familiar? I feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before.”
Boruto muttered to himself.
For some reason, he felt like he had seen the red-haired auntie somewhere, but when he tried to think about it carefully, he couldn’t recall where.
“Never mind, maybe I saw her on the street.”
Boruto didn’t think too much and walked in the direction Kushina had indicated.
“Why does this child give me such a strange sense of familiarity?”
Kushina stopped after a few steps and looked back at Boruto’s retreating figure. Thinking of Uzumaki Naruto, whom she had just parted with, she couldn’t help but fall into thought.
“Blonde hair, blue eyes, and his appearance seems a bit similar. Could it be…?”
Kushina’s eyes widened, revealing an intrigued expression, and she followed him.
“This isn’t right. Konoha doesn’t have that many places I haven’t been to.”
After walking for a while, Boruto was surprised to find that his surroundings still felt unfamiliar.
Occasionally, some places did feel a little familiar, but they were also different from what he remembered.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Boruto stealthily entered a dark alley, infused Chakra into his feet, and flashed onto a rooftop to observe his surroundings from above.
“Where is Dad’s stone face? Kakashi Uncle and Granny Tsunade’s aren’t there either.”
Boruto was stunned when he saw only four stone faces on the cliff.
“Warning, warning.”
At this moment, the small turtle in Boruto’s bag suddenly made a sound.
Boruto quickly took the small turtle out of his bag and asked:
“Is this your doing? Where did Mr. Sasuke and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki go?”
“Time-space transfer was interfered with by unknown time-space power, resulting in a huge deviation in the transfer location. This is an unknown time-space. Please be extremely careful.”
The small turtle did not answer Boruto’s question but reported the situation like a machine.
“What do you mean? Is this the past Konoha?”
Boruto asked.
“My database does not contain information on this time-space, so I cannot answer your question.”
The small turtle replied.
“Because the transfer occurred under interference, I am also unsure of the specific situation of Mr. Sasuke and Lord Urashiki. According to the information in the database, they will also land in this time-space, with a time error of no more than twenty years.”
Boruto: …
This error was too terrifying.
“According to calculations, this error should be within half a month.”
“Finish your sentences in one go! You scared me to death.”
Boruto couldn’t help but tap the small turtle’s shell.
How painful would it be to stay in this unfamiliar place for twenty years alone?
“Next are the precautions for time-space transfer and encountering accidents. Please listen carefully and strictly abide by them.”
“By the way, what exactly are you? An accomplice of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki?”
Boruto carefully examined the small turtle but found nothing special about it.
“I am the time-space movement treasure, Plough. I do not possess the concept of an accomplice as you described.”
The small turtle replied.
“Due to an unexpected arrival in an unknown time-space, for safety reasons, please avoid communicating with any living beings unless absolutely necessary, and under no circumstances reveal your identity.”
Boruto was speechless. Was it telling him to live like a wild man in the mountains?
“The following are the precautions for time-space transfer.”
“One, you cannot reveal things from the future.
Two, you cannot…”
“Why are there so many rules? Can you take us back?”
Boruto asked after listening.
“Return is possible after Chakra replenishment is complete. Finally, please act cautiously and pay attention to safety.”
The small turtle answered one last time and then fell silent, retracting into its shell.
Boruto tapped it but got no response, so he had to put the small turtle in his pocket and returned to the alley.
“Let’s find Mr. Sasuke first. I don’t even know if he’s arrived yet.”
Boruto walked onto the street and began to wander around.
Theoretically, Sasuke might not be in this time-space temporarily, but Boruto had nothing else to do besides looking for Sasuke.
“This really is the past Konoha, isn’t it?”
Boruto looked at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar buildings around him and couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
Although the small turtle said this was an unknown time-space, with those four Hokage Rock faces and the same architectural style, what else could it be but the past Konoha?
“Is the Ichiraku Ramen shop so small now?”
Boruto complained to himself as he walked.
Boruto was more than familiar with this shop.
Not because he liked it, but because his dad liked it. His dad was an absolute fanatic of Ichiraku Ramen.
“Mr. Sasuke, you must arrive before Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.”
After wandering around the Main urban area for nearly two hours without seeing a trace of Sasuke, Boruto felt a little panicked inside.
If Ōtsutsuki Urashiki arrived first and they met, then he would be finished.
Him fighting Ōtsutsuki Urashiki alone? Was that for real?
Boruto then searched for another hour, still without seeing any sign of Sasuke, but he did manage to make himself hungry.
“I haven’t seen a single Thunder Burger shop along the way. Does this era not have Thunder Burger? Damn it.”
Boruto squatted by the roadside, irritably kicking the small pebbles beside his foot.
If there were a Thunder Burger shop, he could buy two Thunder Burger and eat them while looking for people.
“Did I point in the wrong direction?”
Boruto suddenly heard a female voice. He looked up and saw the red-haired female Ninja he had asked for directions earlier.
“No, I just didn’t want to go there myself.”
Boruto replied.
Since they weren’t in the same time-space, he naturally couldn’t hand over the small turtle.
“You’re not from our time, are you?”
Kushina suddenly asked.
“How did you…”
Boruto was about to say, “How did you know,” but remembering what the small turtle had said, he immediately changed his words.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“Is that so? Then how do you explain ‘this era doesn’t have Thunder Burger’?”
Kushina looked at Boruto with a smile.
Originally, she was only suspicious due to some of Boruto’s features, but after trailing Boruto for a while, she was certain that Boruto was also a time-traveler similar to Naruto.
However, Kushina was unsure if Boruto was a Ninja from another world or a true future Ninja.
Boruto instantly broke out in a sweat, feigning composure as he said:
“Auntie, you misheard. I meant why isn’t there any Thunder Burger sold in this place.”
“Auntie?!”
Kushina’s gaze turned fierce, and her vibrant red hair floated up under the influence of powerful Chakra. From Boruto’s perspective, she looked like a demon.
“Sister, sister!”
Boruto sat on the ground and shuffled back, quickly changing his address.
“That’s more like it.”
Kushina nodded in satisfaction and withdrew her Chakra.
Boruto instantly breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead. That was too scary.
“No need to pretend in front of me. You look at most twelve or thirteen, so you can only be a recent graduate. I can just have someone check the list of Ninja who graduated in recent years.”
Kushina said, hands on her hips.
Boruto thought about it and realized it was true, which made him regret a little. He should have taken off his forehead protector.
“What’s your name, and when did you come from?”
Kushina asked curiously.
This dazzling blonde hair and blue eyes, no matter how she looked at them, seemed like a descendant of Minato or Muzuki.
“I’m Mitsuki, and I can’t say anything else.”
Boruto sighed, making a surrendering gesture.
The small turtle had said not to reveal his identity, so Boruto didn’t give his real name.
“Then get up and follow me.”
Kushina extended her hand to Boruto and said.
Boruto hesitated for a moment but still took Kushina’s hand, letting her pull him up.
Then Kushina walked in front, and Boruto followed behind.
“Does she underestimate me that much? Perfect.”
Seeing Kushina so unconcerned about him, Boruto’s heart rejoiced. As they rounded a corner, he unleashed Chakra and flashed away, intending to escape.
Whoosh!
A chain shot out from Kushina’s body, binding Boruto and pulling him back.
“I was discovered! And what kind of Ninjutsu is this? It’s so strong.”
Boruto unleashed Chakra, trying to break free from the chain, but found that the chain didn’t budge.
“Honestly, am I that scary? Why are you trying to run away?”
Kushina glared at Boruto and asked.
Boruto: …
She has no self-awareness at all, that hateful red-haired auntie.
“Why here?”
Boruto looked at the sign loudly proclaiming Ichiraku Ramen with a stunned expression.
He had expected to be taken to an interrogation room, but Kushina had brought him to Ichiraku Ramen.
“You ask a strange question, child. At a ramen shop, of course, you eat ramen. What else could it be? One large bowl of pork bone miso char siu ramen.”
Kushina replied to Boruto while skillfully speaking to Teuchi.
“Or are you not hungry after walking for so long? Let me remind you, Konoha doesn’t sell much Thunder Burger.”
Boruto was momentarily confused.
He had been discovered for such an incredible anomaly, yet he wasn’t taken to a research institute but was treated to ramen.
Since Boruto remained silent, Kushina had Teuchi serve him the exact same ramen as hers.
Slurp, slurp!
When the ramen was served, Kushina stopped talking and began to eat her ramen heartily.
For some reason, Boruto inexplicably saw his father’s figure in Kushina.
“Am I so hungry I’m hallucinating?”
Boruto tapped his head, feeling like he needed to go to the hospital to get his eyes checked.
She was just a red-haired auntie commonly seen on the street; how could she resemble his Seventh Hokage father?
“Let’s just eat the noodles first.”
Looking at the steaming ramen in front of him, Boruto also started eating the noodles heartily, mimicking Kushina.
After searching for Sasuke for so long, he was indeed hungry.
Perhaps for this reason, Boruto felt that this ramen was exceptionally delicious.
After finishing the ramen, Kushina took Boruto to a quiet park.
“Who is your father?”
Kushina asked.
Boruto shook his head. From now on, he would strictly guard information and not let Kushina know anything more.
“You don’t know or you don’t want to say?”
“I can’t say.”
“I see…”
Kushina stroked her chin, deep in thought.
Originally, she had thought that since this blonde boy didn’t even recognize her, it was more likely that he was a Ninja from another world.
But did a Ninja from a parallel world require this level of secrecy?
“What about your mother? You don’t have to tell me who she is, but is she from the Uzumaki Clan?”
Kushina continued to ask.
Boruto shook his head.
“It’s Muzuki’s child, but it’s still uncertain whether he’s a future Ninja or a Ninja from a parallel world.”
Kushina made a further inference in her mind.
If it was the latter, it would be fine, but if it was the former, then it would be quite unsettling.
Firstly, time travel must have occurred due to something extraordinary, and coupled with Mitsuki not recognizing her, it was truly chilling to think about.
“You’ve asked me so many questions, and I still don’t know who you are.”
Boruto realized that Kushina seemed fierce but actually had no ill will towards him, so he asked.
“Me? I am Konoha’s Sealing Technique Master, the Ninja World leader’s Sealing Technique teacher, Uzumaki Kushina!”
Kushina said proudly, hands on her chest.
“So that means only Sealing Technique is presentable.”
Boruto complained.
“Hm?”
Kushina’s hair slowly floated up.
“That’s amazing, Sister Kushina, you’re so strong.”
As Boruto spoke, a flash of insight suddenly crossed his mind.
Uzumaki Kushina, Kushina, isn’t that his grandma?!
Boruto had been wondering why this red-haired auntie looked so familiar. He had seen photos of Kushina when he was little.
“If I call Grandma ‘Sister,’ then won’t Dad have to call me ‘Uncle’?”
A strange thought popped into Boruto’s head.
“Grandma probably recognized me a long time ago, that’s why she took me to eat ramen.”
Boruto immediately relaxed, marveling at his grandma’s quick wit.
At this time, he didn’t even know if his father had been born yet, and she could guess his identity.
“You seem to be looking for someone. Did you come with companions?”
Kushina asked.
She had initially followed him in person, then went home for a while, but she also kept an eye on him with a Shadow Clone, so Kushina knew all of Boruto’s actions that morning.
“Yes, but I’m not sure if he’s in Konoha right now.”
Boruto nodded and replied.
Although he already knew Kushina’s identity, Boruto still adhered to the small turtle’s precautions and did not reveal Sasuke’s information.
In fact, after knowing Kushina’s identity, Boruto adhered to them even more strictly.
The small turtle had made it very clear that relatives needed even more caution.
Because if something happened to his relatives, whether he and Sasuke could still exist, and whether his father could still exist, would all be unknown variables.
“I’ll have Minato help you investigate. He’s the Hokage, so he can issue missions to find people, which is much faster than you wandering around by yourself.”
Kushina said.
“Just as I thought, it’s still Grandpa’s Fourth Hokage era.”
Boruto nodded internally and thanked Kushina.
Although Minato Namikaze deployed many Ninja, it still took a lot of time to find Sasuke.
Because initially, no one thought Sasuke would be held by the Police Force. It was Minato Namikaze who thought of this and had someone notify the Police Force, and only then was Sasuke found.
“Mr. Sasuke, you’re too careless. How did you get locked up?”
Boruto complained.
“Bad luck, a small mistake.”
Sasuke explained calmly.
His transfer location was a forest, and he couldn’t even tell if he had time-traveled, which is why he showed a weakness to Uchiha Itachi.
Otherwise, even a genius like his brother wouldn’t have been able to find his weakness.
“But it doesn’t matter. Even if you didn’t come, I would have left soon and come to find you.”
Grrr…
Suddenly, a low growl echoed in the visiting room.
Boruto subconsciously looked at Sasuke. It was just the two of them in there.
“Mr. Sasuke, it seems there’s still a bit of an effect. Let me take you to eat.”
Boruto tried hard to suppress his laughter.
Sasuke remained expressionless.
