Chapter 438: Casually Revealing Secrets

Yet again, Sasuke was surprised by Yuna’s words.

‘Uzumaki clan compound? Since when does Konoha have an Uzumaki clan? Didn’t they get wiped out during the Third Shinobi War? And why are they here and not in Uzushiogakure? Maybe the Uzumaki clan being in Konoha is what ultimately changed this timeline so much?’

“Why are you calling it your Uzumaki clan?”

“Mhh? Well, I’m the matriarch, so it’s only natural that I call it mine.”

“Why would they make you the matriarch? Aren’t you a little too young?”

“What can I say? Since I’m the one that initiated the reestablishment, the decision to put me on the top was rather obvious.”

Yet again, Sasuke’s words came to a halt due to Yuna’s words. Moments later, he regained his bearing and quickly sorted the information he just got.

‘What a monster, she even had her fingers in this matter as well. So the Uzumaki clan being here is not the reason why this timeline is so different. Considering all the changes that were made seemed to be happening due to Yuna, she might be the only reason everything is so different? Possible.

However, I’m a little worried about this timeline. No matter how much I regret it, my man-hunt around the Elemental Nations made me a lot stronger, and Naruto obsessively chasing after me was why he pushed himself to get stronger. Only Naruto and I matter if Zetsu succeeds with his plan and frees Kaguya. Will this timeline’s Naruto and Sasuke be strong enough to seal Kakuya when she arrives without those factors?

Well, there is nothing I can do about that. Everything is already changed, so who knows what the future holds?’

While Sasuke was deep in thought, the trio started slowly walking towards the Uzumaki compound. However, before they could get far, Yuna noticed two people she knew.

“Hisoka, it’s been a while. Are you on a date with Tayuya?”

Hisoka flinched when she heard Yuna’s voice and blushed a little when she listened to what Yuna said. Tayuya, who was h*lding Hisoka’s h*nd, grinned as she pressed herself against Hisoka, resulting in her blushing harder.

“Y-Yes, I am, Yuna-sensei.”

“Haha, good for you.”

While Yuna was teasing Hisoka, Sasuke was looking at Tayuya in bewilderment.

‘Isn’t she one of Orochimaru’s Sound Four? Why in the world is she in Konoha? Is she a spy?’

Tayuya noticed Sasuke looking at her, causing her to frown and glare back at him.

“What do you want, shi… *cough* err…sir.”

Sasuke noticed that Tayuya wanted to curse him, which he vaguely remembered to be how she always spoke, but for some reason, she stopped herself midsentence, confusing Sasuke a little.

“Ah, sorry about that. You just reminded me of someone I know.”

Tayuya scoffed at him and then proceeded to ignore him. As soon as Tayuya spoke to Sasuke, Hisoka noticed the two people who were with Yuna, and his face immediately hardened, and he started glaring at Boruto, confusing him immensely.

‘Why is she glaring at me like that? Considering I’m not even born yet, she can’t possibly have a grudge against me, right? Maybe she holds a grudge against dad and is confusing us for each other?’

Hisoka, who really held a grudge against Boruto, continued glaring at Boruto while figuring out how she should act.

‘Damn, that’s Boruto, isn’t it? Should I punch him in the face? No, that would be irrational; it’s not like Boruto is the creator of the Boruto anime, after all… Should I do it anyway?’

“Err, sorry, miss, but why are you glaring at me like that?”

“Do you mind if I give you a crips smack to the face?”

“Err, I do. Why would you want to do that.”

“Personal satisfaction.”

Question marks appeared above Boruto’s head, while Yuna chuckled in amusement due to Boruto’s plight.

“Now, now, Hisoka, it’s not good to hold unreasonable grudges.”

Hisoka’s head snapped towards Yuna’s direction as fast as lightning when she heard Yuna’s claim.

“Yuna-sensei, you have absolutely no right to speak about something or someone being unreasonable.”

“I know, right? Aren’t I amazing?”

“Again, not a compliment, but whatever.”

Sasuke listened to the duo’s conversation with confusion clearly visible in his eyes.

‘What’s with this conversation? The Hyuga girl calls Yuna sensei. Is Yuna already the leader of a genin team? That would mean she was already promoted to Jonin, which is honestly no surprise considering she could sneak up on me. That aside, why did Yuna interpret Hisoka’s words, which clearly were meant as an insult, as a compliment, and why did Hisoka so readily accept the misunderstanding? This is quite weird.’

While Sasuke was deep in thoughts about the weird interactions between Yuna and Hisoka, Yuna hit her palm with the underside of her fist as if she had just remembered something.

“Right, I totally forgot the introductions: This is Hisoka; she has memories from her past life…”

“The hell!?”

“…this is Sasuke, he’s from the future…”

“H-Hey! What…”

“…this is Burrito, he’s from the future as well…

“IT’S BORUTO!!!”

“…and this is Tayuya, she’s into spanking.”

“I’M NOT INTO SPANKING!!!”

Hisoka, Sasuke, and Boruto could only look at Yuna in bewilderment after she finished their introductions. She just casually revealed everyone’s secrets like they were simply trivial things.

While the trio was looking at Yuna, Tayuya rolled her eyes at Yuna and opened her mouth.

“The nonsense about spanking aside, what was that about memories from the past life and time travel? Where did that kind of weird setting suddenly come from, Yuna-sama?”

“Hahaha, no need to worry about that; I was just having some fun.”

Although Tayuya didn’t know what was so fun about coming up with weird settings like that, she still nodded her head.

Following that, Hisoka hastily said her goodbyes and pulled Tayuya away from Yuna before she could cause more damage.

As soon as the duo was gone, Sasuke started glaring at Yuna.

“Why did you reveal that? They clearly didn’t believe your words, but that was unnecessary.”

“Naturally, I did it because I thought I would get a funny reaction from it, which I did.”

Sasuke almost coughed out blood when he heard Yuna’s reasoning. Revealing someone’s biggest secret just for your own amusement is not something Sasuke thought anyone would do. Before he could complain about Yuna’s behavior, Yuna resumed speaking.

“Besides, wasn’t the reaction you showed after I revealed your secret almost as bad as me saying it out loud? Instead of getting agitated, you should have just rolled your eyes or something like that. You pretty much confirmed my words by showing a strong reaction to them, and Tayuya might have picked that up if I didn’t distract her with something else.”

Sasuke paused for a moment when Yuna finished her explanation. Although he wasn’t happy, he really didn’t handle that well. However, he noticed something else a few moments later.

“Wait, you only mentioned Tayuya. Does that mean that Hisoka wouldn’t notice it or that she did?”

“I’m not sure whether she noticed it or not, but she already knew that you were from the future.”

“What? How?”

“Well, she knows Naruto pretty well.”

As Yuna said that, she briefly glanced at Boruto, making Sasuke “realize” what she meant.

‘I see; that’s why she was glaring at Boruto like that. But why did she want to punch him? Maybe…’

Yuna noticed Sasuke being deep in thought and chuckled in amusement.

‘Great success.’

[Sigh, just like that, he falls for the same scheme you used on Tayuya and that you just explained to him.]

‘That’s just how it is. Honestly, even if he realized that Hisoka also had a strong reaction to my introductions and that her having memories from her past life is likely to be true, it wouldn’t matter.’

[True, I guess..]
