Chapter 34 Naruto's words to Sasuke...
Samurai Bridge Timeline —
Naruto Uzumaki: "Until I met you and Iruka-sensei, and realized that you were also alone, I... I really wanted to get to know you and talk to you, but you're good at everything, while I'm good at nothing. Although seeing you makes me happy, I deliberately treated you as my mortal enemy in order to get your attention."
Sasuke remained unmoved.
But those who heard this...
hiss……
Is this really not a confession of love?
I can't look at the Fourth Hokage's face! I really can't!
Naruto: "You've become my goal, my bond, I'll follow you, and it's so good to see you!"
Allied Ninja Army: Wait, what's with this statement that sounds like both a confession and a last will and testament?!
Sasuke: "Nothing you say now can change me, Naruto. I will kill you and everyone in the village. You can choose to be a hero and protect the village by killing me, or you can choose to be killed by me obediently to appease the souls of my brother and the Uchiha clan."
Naruto remained unusually calm in the face of Sasuke's provocation.
At this moment, the masked man had already gouged out the eye that belonged to Shisui Uchiha and was urging Sasuke to go back and rest.
He wanted to drag Sasuke into the Kamui dimension and force Sasuke to rest.
But to his astonishment, whenever he tried to bring Sasuke into the Kamui dimension, his eye power seemed to fail!
and……
As long as he had the thought of bringing Sasuke into the Kamui dimension...
[“Uchiha Sasuke, do you agree with the statement, ‘Uchiha Sasuke is incredibly unlucky to have a friend like Uzumaki Naruto!’”]
"Uchiha Sasuke, do you agree...?"
"Excuse me, Uchiha...?"
This sound repeats itself endlessly, like a broken record!
The masked man: "..." His mind was full of profanities.
Sasuke remembered the selector in his hand; he could barely see the buttons on it anymore.
He could barely distinguish which was red and which was blue, but Uchiha Sasuke had never thought about such a question.
He suddenly decided to leave this question to Naruto.
"Naruto, do you want to kill me for the sake of Konoha, or do you want to be killed by me to appease my anger?"
Just as he gave him a choice between two options, he also gave Naruto two choices.
"You should already understand my feelings, Sasuke."
Naruto declared firmly, "We'll both die together!"
"If you attack Konoha, I will have no choice but to fight you. Only I can accept your hatred then, and all I can do is bear your hatred and die with you! By then, you will no longer be an Uchiha, and I will no longer be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. In Elysium, we will not have to carry anything, and we will be able to understand each other."
This was an answer Sasuke had never considered.
This is an answer that no one in other timelines had ever thought of!
Sasuke Samurai gritted his teeth, unable to contain his anger as he roared, "What exactly do you want?! Why are you so obsessed with me?!?"
"Because we're friends!"
Naruto lowered his head and said calmly, "Although neither of us seems to know what the option of agreeing or disagreeing is, you might choose to think that having me as a friend is a bad thing..."
Sasuke: "..."
Naruto: "But whether it's the past, the present, or the future, I feel so glad to see you again! No matter what, you will always be my most important and special friend, Sasuke."
He didn't even know what he was saying anymore. His mind was inexplicably oxygen-deprived, and he couldn't possibly describe his chaotic emotions in just a few words.
At the same time, the masked man urged, "Sasuke, you should go back and rest. Just pick any option."
Intuition told Obito that as long as he made the right choice, his Kamui dimension would function normally. And then there was the voice from his future self…
It's not appropriate to let Kakashi know my true identity yet, at least not now.
"I don't regret meeting you either, Naruto," Sasuke suddenly said.
Unlike Naruto's state of mind, Sasuke's expression was filled with a sinister madness: "I will defeat you with all my might, and then deny everything you have! I will destroy Konoha right before your eyes!!"
【"bite!"】
"Sasuke Uchiha has been selected at the Samurai Bridge."
["Please wait for the option to receive the Valley of the End 2.0 'Uchiha Sasuke'."]
Another enormous mirror wall appears, with a chibi-style divine tree reflected in the milky-white mirror surface. Loading...
Although there are some discrepancies, the events that occurred at Samurai Bridge took place during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Other parallel worlds connected to the Fourth Shinobi World War also learned about the future and the tumultuous fates of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
Using Sasuke Uchiha as leverage, the Konoha leadership ordered Itachi Uchiha to personally exterminate his clan...
Naruto was turned into a vessel for the Nine-Tails by his father, the Fourth Hokage...
For a time, on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War, with the Hokage's reputation damaged, the morale of the Allied Shinobi Forces plummeted.
Some even believe that if one could resurrect their deceased comrades, then living within the illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi wouldn't be so bad...
Even though some Konoha ninjas offered explanations and were still willing to believe the Hokage's decision, they couldn't withstand the public's disapproval and the general disappointment.
Madara Uchiha revealed a smug smile.
Hashirama Senju was anxious, but he had no time left and no solution.
Although they could reveal the Uchiha's attempt to stage a coup, the Hokage would certainly not be willing to break their final promise to Itachi Uchiha.
Fortunately, the core members are still able to stay true to themselves!
Upon hearing that the next world to be connected was "Valley of the End 2.0," the more level-headed ninjas realized that this time was different from the previous ones!
By connecting with "Naruto Bridge 2.0", ninjas from the Fourth Shinobi World War timeline can easily deduce that "Valley of the End 2.0" refers to Sasuke's arrival at the Valley of the End once again.
Moreover, as the age increases, the time of each online connection becomes later than before.
The first time they connected was when Sasuke and Naruto were only 6 years old, shortly after they entered the Ninja Academy.
The second connection was when Sasuke and Naruto were 12 years old and had just become genin, and were assigned to Team 7 as Kakashi's western genin.
The third connection was in the same year, when they carried out their first mission outside the village: escorting bridge worker Tazuna to the Land of Waves.
The fourth connection occurred during the Chunin Exams written test. By then, after about a year of training under Kakashi, both of them were 13 years old.
The fifth connection occurred shortly after Sasuke sought power by joining Orochimaru's side, while Naruto fought desperately to stop him.
The sixth connection was when 16-year-old Sasuke killed Orochimaru and then went to the Land of Waves to retrieve the great sword from Zabuza's grave.
The seventh connection was in the same year. Sasuke had already completed his revenge by killing Itachi, but he learned that he had made a mistake in seeking revenge. The real enemy was the Konoha leadership. He killed Shimura Danzo at Samurai Bridge and declared to his former comrades that he would destroy Konoha.
Shortly after that, the Fourth Shinobi World War began.
