Chapter 524: The Allied Shinobi Village

Find that guy, strip away his ability, and then integrate it into my own body.

Wouldn't that work?

After all, the ability to rewind time being in the hands of that disgrace of the Otsutsuki clan is just too ridiculous.

"Lord Sasuke, where are we going next?" Jūgo asked. If he remembered correctly, Sasuke had said they were here to find members of the Otsutsuki clan!

Clearly, another big battle was imminent.

So Jūgo was also a bit excited. After all, he hadn't had the chance to test his newfound power yet.

He was eager to see just how strong he had become.

However, Sasuke pointed in the direction of Konoha.

Although the era was different, the location of the village wouldn't change.

"Let's go take a look at Konoha."

Hearing this, Kimimaro nodded, while Jūgo looked puzzled. "Didn't you say we were going to find the Otsutsuki clan, Lord Sasuke?"

"No need to go looking for them. They'll come to Konoha. All we need to do is stay there for a while."

"Besides, this will also give me time to fully master my new power."

Although Sasuke's power had increased significantly, this growth left him feeling like he hadn't fully grasped it yet.

It's fine for power to increase, but every bit of it must be controlled as perfectly as possible.

Only then can one go further and fly higher in the future.

In his current state, facing Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki might not seem like a big problem, but if any unexpected changes occurred, the outcome could be different.

After all, Toneri Otsutsuki was casually sealed away by Urashiki for ten thousand years.

So!

Sasuke wouldn't be careless.

Any small possibility must be nipped in the bud.

"I see."

Jūgo nodded.

The three of them flew toward Konoha.

The current timeline was already in the new era.

The new generation of Konoha shinobi had already graduated from the academy.

And the new Chunin Exams were about to begin.

Arriving at the gates of Konoha, Sasuke and the other two didn't bother with much disguise.

They simply wore inconspicuous clothing and walked in boldly.

But before they even entered, something caught Sasuke's attention.

The sign at the gate didn't say "Konohagakure."

Instead, it read:

"Allied Shinobi Village Headquarters – Konoha."

Seeing this, Sasuke was stunned.

Even compared to the original new era, things had changed.

In the original new era of shinobi, although the five great nations still maintained alliances, it wasn't to this extent. Now, it had directly become the Allied Shinobi Village?

Was this Naruto's doing?

Had he unified all the villages?

The Allied Shinobi Village had abolished Konoha, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure.

All of them had become part of the Allied Shinobi Village.

Wasn't this just a form of unification?

Though it was more like a feudal unification.

Sasuke chuckled.

Naruto, Naruto! If the goal was to counter the Otsutsuki clan, who could appear at any moment, unifying the shinobi world was indeed the best method.

But Naruto's soft-hearted approach to unification wasn't very effective.

Right now, the various "lords" might obey Konoha's orders out of fear of Naruto's power.

But after Naruto's death? The peace in the shinobi world wouldn't last long before chaos erupted again.

This was an unchanging truth.

Rather than letting everything descend into chaos eventually, it would be better to directly unify all the shinobi villages and concentrate all the shinobi's power. On one hand, this could counter the Otsutsuki, and on the other, it could make the peace last a bit longer.

Clearly, Naruto didn't want to use violence against the other four great nations.

Walking through the streets of Konoha, Sasuke noticed how much things had changed compared to the past.

Just like in the original story, many technological products had appeared. As the era progressed, shinobi power seemed to be gradually replaced by technology.

From Sasuke's perspective, this meant that the war between ordinary people and shinobi had already begun.

When technology started to develop, and shinobi could no longer maintain an absolute advantage, the people below would begin to rebel.

After all, shinobi with superhuman powers were always a minority.

And the minority would quickly breed dissatisfaction among the majority.

As Sasuke walked through the streets of Konoha, something suddenly caught his eye.

A clan crest the Uchiha clan's crest!

Sasuke was stunned. Had the Uchiha clan been rebuilt?

Just as Sasuke was surprised, a few people walked out from behind the gate bearing the Uchiha crest.

From their aura, it was clear that they all possessed Uchiha bloodline.

Sasuke was dumbfounded.

How long had it been?

Had Itachi already managed to rebuild the Uchiha clan to this extent?

These Uchiha clan members also had the same newly awakened Sharingan as Sasuke.

This was something Sasuke could clearly sense.

One of the girls, in particular, seemed to have a very high concentration of Uchiha blood. At the age of a genin, she had already awakened a four-tomoe Rinnegan.

At the same time, this girl looked familiar.

She looked just like Sarada.

"Sarada, your lunch!"

A woman dressed like a housewife walked out from the gate. She looked very virtuous and simple.

Sasuke was stunned. He didn't recognize this woman at all. Who was she?

Sarada! Why was she still here? He hadn't married Sakura, had he?

Had future Sasuke still fallen into Sakura's hands and been...

"Dad!"

Dad?

Sasuke was stunned. Was she calling him?

No!

Even if he was her father, at his current age, how could she recognize him at a glance?

There should have been some hesitation, right?

At this moment, Itachi, who had been playing with a cat not far behind Sasuke, glanced at the three of them.

Then he picked up the running Sarada.

"Good luck on your mission today!"

"Dad! I learned the Great Fireball Technique! Let me show you!"

Hearing this, Itachi smiled. "Next time!"

He extended two fingers and gently poked Sarada's forehead.

"Okay..."

A bit disappointed, Sarada turned and left, seemingly ready to go on her mission.

That's right. During the genin days, there were always endless missions.

At this point, Itachi walked up behind Sasuke.

"What are you three doing here, sneaking around?"

"Curious about the Uchiha?"

It seemed Itachi had already noticed them.

Although Sasuke had hidden his aura, he hadn't bothered to conceal his presence.

Being discovered was only natural.

Turning around, Sasuke looked at the now middle-aged Itachi.

He looked mature and steady, and although he had aged, he gave off the feeling of a gentle and reliable uncle.

"You..."

The moment Itachi saw Sasuke, the things in his hands fell to the ground.

"Sa... Sasuke..."
