To achieve great things, sacrifice is inevitable.
Ujiha had prepared for sacrifice early that morning, so even though her life was in Takegami Ōtsutsuki's hands, Ujiha didn't feel much fear.
Moreover, Ujiha trusted Uchiha En. Uchiha En had said she wouldn't die, and she wouldn't!
Let's return to Uchiha En's side.
Uchiha En brought everyone back to Konoha.
Recalling the battle they just had, Naruto, Sasuke, and Boruto were all silent.
Especially Boruto. At this moment, Boruto realized how insignificant his power was.
Even with the power of the Karma he gained from killing Momoshiki, and the Jōgan awakened by the combination of Uzumaki and Hyuga bloodlines, he was still very weak.
Forget the earth-shattering battle from before; even the power Uchiha En displayed when clearing the battlefield was beyond his current reach.
"Don't be discouraged. As long as you keep working hard, you'll have this kind of power eventually." Sensing Boruto's dejection, Naruto patted his shoulder and comforted him with a smile.
"Father...!" Boruto's eyes showed gratitude.
Uncle Sasuke, who was nearby, saw this and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes. He thought to himself, "It seems that Naruto, no matter which timeline he's from, is someone who can bring warmth to others."
The next day, Uncle Sasuke planned to leave with Boruto.
After hearing about Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Uncle Sasuke felt little joy even after teaming up with Uchiha En to defeat Urashiki. Instead, he felt a sense of urgency.
He had to go back and work with Uncle Uchiha En to find a way to become stronger, only then could he protect his world.
Boruto, however, didn't want to leave so soon.
Because these past two days he had met his grandparents, who were very kind to him and even offered to teach him Sealing Jutsu and advanced Rasengan Ninjutsu.
This unreserved trust and care between family members reminded Boruto of his mother and his sister, Uzumaki Himawari.
Of course, at this moment, Boruto also missed his once-despised, 'useless' father immensely.
After watching all 720 episodes of Naruto, Boruto had come to understand how difficult it was for his biological father to grow into who he was now.
His father valued the position of Hokage so much because he was fulfilling his life's purpose.
Of course, Boruto didn't particularly like the father in this timeline.
Because he felt that Naruto in this timeline was somewhat like himself.
In fact, if he thought about it carefully, Naruto in this timeline was just like him! Both had a Hokage father who was always by their side.
However, Minato Namikaze was quite strict with Naruto. In contrast, Boruto felt his own father was really good. Although he didn't spend much time with him, he always loved and indulged his willful son.
Unlike Minato Namikaze, who was very strict with Naruto, completely unlike his usual demeanor when dealing with others.
Every time he saw his father in this timeline being scolded by his grandfather, Boruto couldn't help but laugh out loud.
When Uchiha En heard that Sasuke and Boruto were leaving, he said without hesitation, "You should stay a few more days."
After speaking, Uchiha En reached out and took the time-traveling turtle from Uncle Sasuke's hand.
Uncle Sasuke hesitated but didn't stop him. He looked at Uchiha En, waiting for an explanation.
"Boruto needs to learn. The Uzumaki Clan's Sealing Jutsu in your world is basically lost. It's a good opportunity for Boruto to learn Sealing Jutsu from Senior Kushina.
And your body needs recuperation, especially after just regrowing an arm.
Also, once Urashiki's memories are fully extracted, we're sure to gain some useful Ninjutsu and intelligence, which should also help you," Uchiha En said in a serious tone.
Uncle Sasuke nodded in agreement.
Seeing his agreement, Uchiha En turned and sent Uncle Sasuke to the Uchiha Clan, then brought Asana back.
Uchiha En wanted Asana to help Uncle Sasuke recuperate.
Although Uchiha En always joked that Sakura's 'juicer' was too powerful, leading to Uncle Sasuke's kidney deficiency, that was only one reason.
More reasons included Sasuke's rough outdoor life for over ten years, the physical disability caused by his severed arm, and the injuries from his final battle with Naruto.
These factors combined were why Uncle Sasuke's health wasn't good.
While it was impossible to fundamentally cure Uncle Sasuke's depleted body in a short time, this period could be used to nourish his yin and kidneys, replenish his vitality, and further enhance his strength. Entrusting this to Asana, who understood Medical Ninjutsu and was also a Six Paths-level powerhouse, was most suitable.
In addition, Asana had also learned the Way of Health Preservation from Uchiha En.
Ninja are powerful in combat, but they are not as proficient in health preservation.
Uchiha En also planned to have Asana teach Uncle Sasuke how to preserve his health.
During this time, Uchiha En felt that he and Uncle Sasuke got along well, and they had fought side-by-side against Urashiki, becoming friends. Uchiha En didn't want to see his friend die young.
After settling Uncle Sasuke, Uchiha En began to study the turtle he had taken from Uncle Sasuke. After opening its shell, he started memorizing its complex structure.
Although he couldn't yet understand the meaning of these structures, he would memorize them for now. Such a method of traversing parallel dimensions was rare, and if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would encounter it again.
While one Shadow Clone began studying the time-traveling machine, another Shadow Clone pulled out Urashiki's corpse.
Urashiki had been directly annihilated by Uchiha En using Dominator Mode, but his brain was perfectly preserved.
For this type of corpse, the best way to read memories was to use the Yamanaka Clan's secret Ninjutsu.
But Uchiha En hesitated and didn't call any members of the Yamanaka Clan.
It wasn't suitable for any Yamanaka Clan member, including Uchiha En's friend Yamanaka Kagetsu, to read the corpse's memories, because the various information and secret Ninjutsu involved in Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's corpse were too important.
Uchiha En couldn't entrust it to others.
The best way was for Uchiha En to learn this secret Ninjutsu and read the memories himself.
The Yamanaka Clan's secret Ninjutsu was not difficult for the current Uchiha En to learn.
