An hour later, Hokage Office.
Lin Ke sat relaxedly across from the desk. The Seventh Hokage had gone to the Five Kage Summit, leaving him alone in the office to wait.
In any other world, it would be unbelievable for a strange ninja to even enter the Hokage Building, let alone be left alone in the Hokage Office.
The Hokage of the future world was too peaceful.
He curiously looked around the room. On the familiar Hokage's desk, there was a thin laptop with a swirl design, next to a stack of Tonkotsu-flavored instant noodle cups, a water glass, and a bottle of, hmm, what looked like alcohol?
Naruto actually drinks alcohol as an adult, tsk tsk, truly worthy of being Jiraiya's disciple.
I wonder what Sasuke is doing as an adult...
"Click~" The window was pushed open, and Uzumaki Boruto poked his head in. Seeing that he was the only one in the room, he jumped to the floor and seriously sized up the kid who claimed to be from another world seeking help, saying, "You, you look pretty ordinary."
He didn't look like someone with the magical ability to travel through worlds at all.
Well, I can't say he's completely ordinary. He's actually quite handsome, just a little bit less than him.
"Oh," Lin Ke wasn't angry at all, watching with a smile. After all, he was a good friend's son. When Naruto from the Main World gets married and has children in the future, he would have to be called uncle.
There's no point in getting angry with a child.
Uzumaki Boruto instead revealed an angry expression. Being treated like a child was a terrible thing for a child. He snorted and said, "Hey, kid, what's your name?"
Although he hated arrogant guys, the matter of traveling through worlds really made him curious. He suppressed his displeasure and prepared to get some information.
But his expression was really bad, and his tone was even more aggressive.
"You can call me Uncle Lin Ke." Lin Ke stood up, walked over, and naturally touched Boruto's head while stepping on his Shadow, "Saying it's troublesome, but still honestly cleaning up the Hokage Rock, you're a good kid."
"Pfft~" Uchiha Sarada, who was peeking from the Balcony, couldn't hold it in anymore.
A kid who didn't look much older than Boruto was 'kindly' stroking Boruto's head, saying gentle praises in a childish voice.
The scene was too funny, it was hard to hold back.
"Slap!" Uzumaki Boruto was stunned at first, but when he heard the laughter, he slapped away the hateful hand, retreated to the window, and pointed his finger, shouting, "What are you doing!"
He felt goosebumps all over his body. Being comforted and praised by a kid who wasn't much older than him was really super awkward.
"Uh," Lin Ke also realized that his actions and words seemed a bit too strange, and comforted, "In another world, I'm your father's friend, so..."
"No matter who you are, you can't just put your hand on my head!" Uzumaki Boruto glared at him angrily and said, "You're definitely lying."
"Traveling through worlds and stuff!"
A child's anger would subconsciously deny related things.
"Whoosh!" Uzumaki Naruto appeared in the room with Body Flicker Technique, naturally putting his hand on his son's head, with a smile on his face, "Sorry, sorry, I made you wait."
Uzumaki Boruto thought he was being molested by a strange kid again, and tried to struggle, only to see that it was his old man.
"It's okay." Lin Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like he wasn't very good at dealing with children. What would he do when he becomes an uncle in the future?
"Boruto." Uzumaki Naruto reminded his son that he could leave. Even though he was a dad, he was still a bit slow and didn't realize what the connection was between his son slapping his hair and the mysterious visitor opposite him.
After the two children left, he sat behind his desk and said seriously, "I remember you mentioned facing the threat of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki just now, is that right?"
"Yes, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki has been resurrected in one of the worlds and is very likely to invade our world." Lin Ke was very frank. For Naruto, who was absolutely lawful good, there was nothing to hide. "That's why I came here to ask you and Sasuke for help."
"Uh, you know me and Sasuke?" Uzumaki Naruto was still a little confused.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, being able to call him and Sasuke by name, and claiming to be a visitor from a Different World, was really a bit strange.
Lin Ke patiently explained the logic of parallel worlds. There is actually a concept of 'parallel worlds' in Japanese, called parallel worlds, but the Naruto World's Entertainment Industry is too poor.
After all, after the Sage of Six Paths died, the Ninja World was constantly at war, and it was not until the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War that true peace was ushered in. The tech tree was crippled, and there were no conditions to develop Entertainment Industry.
Not to mention any interesting literary works.
Even Jiraiya's unnutritious pure smut could become popular in the Ninja World. It was really popular. It wasn't that Kakashi had unique tastes, but the Make-Out Series allowed Jiraiya, who was constantly eating, drinking, and whoring outside, to save up a high amount of savings almost equal to Tsunade's gambling debts.
It was really different from Japan's Entertainment Industry on Earth, and the concept of parallel worlds had naturally not yet been born.
"Oh, oh, oh~ I see." Uzumaki Naruto listened to the explanation, his face full of realization, and then said, "However, you still have to prove it to me."
"Do you need Genjutsu, or should I let the Yamanaka Clan read my brain memories, or..." Lin Ke said, looking like he was ready to sacrifice himself.
A pure gentleman can be deceived by righteousness, just bullying Uzumaki Naruto, who has lived to such an old age and has never killed anyone.
"Okay, okay."
Sure enough, the dignified Seventh Hokage, one of the two most powerful ninjas in The World, stopped the other party from saying some terrible things with a headache, and then said, "How about you take my Shadow Clone over to take a look?"
"Okay." Lin Ke agreed immediately, "What time of The World are we going to?"
"Huh?" Uzumaki Naruto was stunned.
"I have been to many worlds at different times, the First Shinobi World War, the Second Shinobi World War, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Incident..."
Lin Ke listed the worlds he had been to. Although he mostly left immediately after arriving, he had changed a lot.
For example, he witnessed the battle of the Valley of the End, saw Senju defeat Uchiha, helped the Second Hokage's group who were besieged by the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Force, and saved Nagato's parents, etc.
More than a dozen time travels were basically before Shippuden, and he summarized a pattern about the Boat Crossing Technique (suspected).
It is impossible to travel to two worlds at about the same time when an event occurs.
For example, if the target is Neji, who is about to die after being pierced by the Wood Release: Cutting Technique, after arriving, he will not be able to find the time when the second Naruto defeated Six Paths Obito, but will return to the world he visited earlier.
According to the time difference before and after the Kannabi Bridge mission and Might Duy's death, the time interval will not be very long, but it definitely exists.
Uzumaki Naruto listened in silence for a while, and said, "You have been to the world where the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox Incident just happened?"
Understood, he misses his parents, simple.
Lin Ke took out a Scroll of the Boat Crossing Technique from his Shadow, shook it, and said, "Want to go and see together?"
