Chapter 265: I Learned from the Best
A/N:- Sorry for the dy. I changed my ssd and it took me some time.
--------------------
"That was some nice acting skill out there."
Sasuke apuds Tatsuya.
"Of course, I learned from the best." Tatsuya nods his head.
""
Izuna and Sasuke roll their eyes.
''Still, I have to say that was an Oscar-winning performance right there?'' Izuna nods his head in satisfaction.
''For now, I can only follow them around like this. Once the party is over, I will settle their business.''
Sasuke takes out Karasuki and questions him.
"We are already in the past. Where is Urashiki? There are no signs of him present here. Given his power, he should have already turned this ce upside down." Sasuke questions the turtle.
"Master Urashiki fell from the temporal bubble midway, so his destination is a bit altered. ording to my calctions, he will arrive a monthter." Karasuki replies to them.
"That''s a relief to hear!" Sasuke and Tatsuya heave a sigh of relief.
"If he were to appear now, I am afraid we won''t be able to hold against him. If it''s a month, then we have enough time to n a counterattack." Sasuke nods his head.
"But first" He turns to Tatsuya.
"I will look for a ce to settle." Tatsuya nods his head in understanding.
"Then, let me take Boruto to the hospital."
Both of them decide to split up.
''If that''s the case, then''
Swoosh
Another thought projection of Izuna appears beside him. The second projection follows Sasuke.
Whoosh
Tatsuya hides his presence using Anbu techniques and flickers through the vige.
Soon, he arrives in front of arge inn and enters a nearby alley.
"I can''t use the money from the future here. It might lead to some severe consequences. I have to think of another way."
Creak
Tatsuya enters the inn.
"Wee!" a female attendant greets him.
"I will reserve three rooms with food and other necessities for a month."
"Sure!" The attendant takes out a calctor from the drawer.
"That will be 50,000 Ryo." The attendant turns to Tatsuya.
"Please deposit the cash in advance." She has an amiable smile on her face.
Sigh
''I don''t mean to do this. But I have no choice.''
Shiing
Tatsuya activates his Sharingan.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan"
He casts a Genjutsu on the attendant and all the nearby people.
"Thanks for your patronage." The attendant smiles at him and passes the keys to him.
"These are the keys to your room."
"Thank you!" Tatsuya grabs the keys and walks upstairs.
-----------
On Sasuke''s side,
Whoosh
Sasuke appears at the entrance of the Konoha hospital.
"Emergency! It''s an emergency. Please help!"
He hurriedly enters the hospital while carrying Boruto on his shoulder.
"Let me check."
Coincidently, Sayori enters the room.
(She is from Chapter 113. Aftermath Part-1)
"Please!"
Sasuke gently ces Boruto on a nearby bed.
Sayori gently grabs Boruto''s wrist and checks his pulse. She inspects his eyes and ces her hand on his forehead to circte some chakra.
Her expression turns ugly.
"His condition is quite critical. Shift him to the emergency ward!" Sayori immediately orders nearby medic nins.
"Tch My medical knowledge isn''t enough to treat him. Only Shizune-san or Tsunade-san can treat him."
Sayori clicks her tongue.
"But but they aren''t present here." She sighs in helplessness.
Sayori notices Sasuke''s ugly expression and immediately shakes her head.
"Don''t worry, I will immediately send someone to look for Tsunade-sama. Tsunade-sama is the current Hokage, so she won''t visit the hospital that often. Usually, such a situation is hard toe by. It may not seem like it, but I am the best Medic-Nin after Tsunade-sama and Shizune-san." She tries to assure Sasuke.
"I I see." Sasuke slightly nods his head.
''Looks like I can only search for Izuna Nii-san and ask him for help. I have to avoid the present me at all cost.''
Sasuke walks out of the Konoha hospital.
Whoosh
He jumps on top of an electricity pole and turns towards the Uchihapounds.
Whoosh
Sasuke disappears from his ce and flickers towards the Uchihapound.
"Sasuke-san! How did it go?"
Tatsuya appears beside him.
Sasuke shakes his head.
"We can only ask Izuna Nii-san for help. He is our only hope."
Both of them avoid the members of the Konoha Police Force patrolling the n and sneaks into the n district.
Whoosh
They flicker towards Izuna''s house.
"If my memory serves me right, it should be there!"
Soon, they appear in front of Izuna''s house.
"This is Grandpa''s house." Tatsuya curiously stares at the house.
Many things happened in the future, and Konoha has to rebuild a few times.
As such, the present Konoha is vastly different from the future Konoha.
He activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and inspects the house. There is a dense barrier present around the house. Numerous Fuinjutsu seals are carved into the barrier.
"Sasuke-san! Be careful! There are many Fuinjutsu seals here." Tatsuya warns Sasuke.
"If that''s the case, we can only wait till morning!" Sasuke sighs helplessly.
"Wait! Maybe I can bypass few seals. Dad taught me a lot of things, including Fuinjutsu." Tatsuya chimes in.
"Then go ahead and give it a try. If it gets dangerous, then retreat." Sasuke gives the green signal.
Meanwhile,
The real Izuna is staring at them while floating in the air. The party is already over and he came to settle them.
"Oh! Now I am curious to know how much has he learned."
Izuna acts like a doting father who is curious to see his son takes his first step.
Swish swish swish
Tatsuya makes several hand signs and ms his hand on the invisible barrier.
Swoosh
Several seals crawl out of his hand and cover the barrier.
After half an hour,
Huff Huff
Tatsuya breathes heavily as he stares at the barrier.
"This is a Sage level Formation. Although I have yet to reach that level, I am not far from it. Still, I have deactivated most of the seals in this area and we can safely enter the barrier." Tatsuya takes a deep breath and turns to Sasuke.
"Well done!" Sasuke nods his head.
''Not bad!'' Izuna smiles slightly.
''But it''s not enough. Do you think the barrier which took me over a year to create is a joke? You only disabled the outeryer; the real barrier is still hidden. If Sasuke had his Rinnegan, he might be able to see the hidden danger.''
Izuna shakes his head in disappointment.
''Never mind, I will allow you in. I have tested you enough!''
"That''s Izuna Nii-san''s room." Sasuke points towards a room on the first floor.
Whoosh
They appear near the window.
Shiing
Tatsuya activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and both of them enter the room with their guard up.
"He is not here."
Tatsuya and Sasuke stare at the empty room.
Whoosh
They jump out of the room and reappear near the entrance.
"Oh! What a surprise!"
Fugaku and Yagami stare at Tatsuya and Sasuke who appeared out of nowhere.
"You people are?!"
Fugaku has a stern expression on his face.
''Father?! Uncle?!''
Sasuke starts to sweat bullets as he notices Fugaku.
Meanwhile,
The thought projection of Izuna is cracking up.
''Now what will you do, Sasuke? You may be stronger than your dad, but he is still your dad. And Uncle Fugaku particrly has that ever-present frown on his face. It makes his face hard to read.''
"Erm! We are working for Izuna-san. We came to deliver some intel." Tatsuya hurriedly handles the situation.
"Oh!" Yagami nods his head.
Both of them ignore Sasuke and Tatsuya and enter the house.
""
Tatsuya and Sasuke speechlessly stare at them.
"Aren''t you afraid, we are spies?"
Tatsuya mumbles to them.
"Is that so?!"
Fugaku and Yagami turn towards them. Both of them activate their Mangekyo Sharingan and sternly stare at them.
Eek
Tatsuya freaks out to see them. He is not afraid of their power, but rather of their identity. Both of them are his grand uncles who took care of him during his childhood.
But he is still curious to learn the reason.
Haha
Fugaku and Yagamiugh lightly.
"You got us there. H How can any spy enter this ce? Izuna-kun''s ce is the safest in the entire Konoha. If an enemy can infiltrate this house and by now, he would have leveled Konoha."
Yagami lightly pats Tatsuya''s shoulder.
Heh!
Tatsuya and Sasuke speechlessly stare at them.
''Both of them are drunk.''
"Let''s invite Akira for a drink. Since kids out there are enjoying themselves, we old fellows might as well. H"
Both of them knock at the door and a momentter Akira walks out of the house.
Sasuke and Tatsuya hide their presence as they speechlessly stare at the house.
"That was a close call!" Sasuke heaves a sigh of relief.
"They are as scary as ever!"
"Since there is nothing much we can do here. Let''s return to the inn and search for him in the morning."
"Looking for me!"
Whoosh
Izuna appears beside them.
AH!
Tatsuya and Sasuke freak out at Izuna''s sudden appearance.
