Chapter 342 Tibetan Language
Chapter 342 Tibetan Language
"Sister? Uchiha Itachi?"
"Yes, sister."
"No, you must be lying to me."
"However, everything I said is true."
Sasuke and Naruto's conversation continued peacefully, but Sasuke was filled with confusion—how many times had this happened already? Just how far were they going to tease him? If the so-called harm was a tough battle, he could accept it completely.
But why is it that these repeated mental shocks almost drove him to his death?
He's become a woman in this world? Okay, he'll accept that, albeit reluctantly. He's glad his parents are still alive, but then he learns they've been betrothed to Naruto's parents? He can grit his teeth and accept that too. He discovers that the "himself" in this world actually likes Naruto? Fine, he'll accept that too.
But now even Itachi Uchiha has become an older sister? So it turns out I'm not the only victim?
Sasuke tried to imagine what a female version of Itachi Uchiha would look like. This absurd idea made him feel a little relieved—at least this news could dispel his impulse to secretly take a look at Itachi Uchiha of this era.
After experiencing this series of shocks, Sasuke fell into a strange state of contemplation.
Is it possible that the problem actually lies with oneself?
Is it because your inner pride prevents you from accepting your other gender that you feel so ashamed and embarrassed? Thinking back, when Naruto from your own world was a child, he often took the initiative to transform into his female form and invented some kind of Sexy Jutsu. Did that loser never feel embarrassed?
So this must be my own problem. Ultimately, to the people of this world, I am the strange one. After all, both "myself" and Itachi in this world were women from the very beginning.
It's just a difference in gender, is it really necessary to react so strongly? Yeah, maybe I'm overreacting.
Sasuke began to convince himself of this. Perhaps his psychological defense mechanisms were kicking in; he kept repeating these reasons in his mind, trying to accept reality.
This self-persuasion, even with an element of self-deception, did gradually calm his mind. Ultimately, he chose to submit—if he couldn't change it, he would accept it.
"Master...Master?"
Seeing Sasuke suddenly fall silent and stand frozen in place like a scarecrow, Boruto called out to him softly with concern.
Sasuke finally reacted. He slowly took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, the furrows on his brow gradually smoothing out, and his previously calm and dull eyes softening considerably.
"I'm fine," his voice regained its usual composure. "By the way, Boruto, I'm actually a little curious, why didn't you show much surprise when you saw me in this world?"
"Huh?!" Boruto was caught off guard by Sasuke's blunt statement about "me in this world," and stammered in response.
"Because... literary creation is developing very rapidly now, and recreating a character by changing their gender has become a very common practice..."
Upon hearing this answer, Sasuke nodded thoughtfully. "I see," he thought, "it seems I'm a bit out of touch with the times." This realization brought him greater peace of mind. Since the younger generation could so easily accept this premise, why should he be so conflicted?
His sister? Another version of himself? What on earth is this guy talking about?
Zuo Yue frowned deeply. Why were these people's words suddenly so difficult to understand? Uchiha Itachi was this man's older sister? But the person in front of her looked about the same age as her parents!
Just as Satsuki was confused, Sasuke took a half-step forward and began to explain in an incredibly calm tone, "I remember now, it was my oversight. You found this place by sensing the power of your eyes, right?"
Naruto, standing to the side, was completely bewildered by Sasuke's current state. This composed attitude was a stark contrast to the Sasuke who had almost collapsed just moments before. Sasuke's previously tense shoulders had relaxed, and even his breathing had become steady and even.
Satsuki's eyes refocused on Sasuke. "That's right! What's wrong with your eyes? Who are you? Why is your eye power so similar to mine?!"
"Because our eyes are exactly the same, they come from the exact same source." He raised his only remaining hand and pointed to his eye socket. "This level of similarity is something even brothers couldn't achieve. As for Itachi's aura... I received Itachi's eyes when I was on the verge of blindness."
"???"
Zuo Yue opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She understood every single word the other person said, but the combined meaning was completely incomprehensible. What did it mean? An eye transplant? Near blindness?
"Because I am you," Sasuke continued to explain, "you from another parallel universe, and also you in the future. However, unlike me, I never imagined that I, in this world, would be a woman."
"……ha?!"
Satsuki was completely dumbfounded; this explanation was too bizarre, beyond any comprehension she could comprehend. Naruto, standing nearby, also widened his eyes. Sasuke had actually accepted reality so readily, and was even planning to reveal the truth directly? If that were the case…
Naruto suddenly realized something and abruptly turned to look at Boruto. What if Sasuke found out Boruto's true identity...?
For some reason, Naruto suddenly had an image of Sasuke crouching on a telephone pole at night flash through his mind.
"That's right! Sasuke!" Naruto hurriedly stepped forward, his hand instinctively rising as if to stop something.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Sasuke turned to look at Naruto in confusion, not understanding why he was suddenly so agitated.
"You know that Satsuki has now awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, right?" Naruto said quickly.
Sasuke knew, of course—this was the pinnacle of the ordinary Sharingan, a level that the vast majority of Uchiha clan members could only reach in their entire lives. He nodded slightly, waiting for Naruto to continue.
"She's actually much stronger than you," Naruto said in a seemingly relaxed tone, while giving Sasuke a wink. "I remember when you first awakened your Sharingan, it was only a one-tomoe Sharingan, right?"
This sounds a bit rude, and even carries a connotation of belittling one while praising another.
But Sasuke understood Naruto and knew that he wouldn't say such things without a reason, so he immediately realized that there was a deeper meaning behind it.
"Satsuki is amazing," Naruto continued, turning his gaze to Satsuki, his voice softening. "That night, even though Satsuki believed his parents were dead, his clan had been wiped out, and his sister had betrayed him, he didn't activate his Sharingan."
Satsuki looked at Naruto in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly brought this up. The memory of that night remained her deepest pain.
"And then..." Naruto's tone became subtle, his gaze shifting between Satsuki and Sasuke, "Itachi seems to have hurt me, so Satsuki immediately activated these eyes."
