"Your chakra scent is too similar to the old Sasuke, almost identical, just with less influence of the lightning element and a slight increase in intensity. Your eye power is not bad, but still a bit weak."
"Yes, I am Sasuke's clone."
The adult Sasuke pondered for a moment before admitting it directly.
He didn't want to reveal that he came from the future. Admitting Naruto's guess was the simplest; he could use this identity to accompany Naruto and thus prevent the upcoming appearance of Otsutsuki Urashiki.
But, will things really go so smoothly?
"Why do you look more anxious than the real Sasuke? And you're missing an arm," Naruto asked with a smile.
"Lab accident."
The adult Sasuke answered without hesitation.
After saying this, he began to feel that something was not quite right.
Wait, this Naruto, he knows about Orochimaru's clones?
Sasuke could understand that this world's Naruto was exceptionally gifted, but if he knew about Orochimaru, and he himself used Orochimaru as an excuse to deceive, wouldn't that be difficult?
"Can an accident activate the Rinnegan? Even the Sasuke of this world has only recently activated the Thunder God Eye, and you, as a clone, have made such progress, not bad." Naruto still smiled, seeing through without pointing it out.
'Thunder God Eye? What's that?'
The adult Sasuke fell silent for a moment, then finally said, "Alright, I admit, I am Sasuke from the future, and there might be a crisis involving the Otsutsuki soon."
"From the future, maybe, but you're definitely not from the future of this world," Naruto asserted.
"Why?"
"Your purity is too low."
Sasuke: ???
What Naruto referred to as purity wasn't just about one aspect, but described multiple facets.
Firstly, the purity of physique.
The Sasuke of this world had cultivated elemental power, which changed his physical constitution during the process. Elemental power would make his constitution purer and stronger. However, this Sasuke in front of him had no traces of cultivating elemental power, so his purity was too low.
Then, the purity of thought.
The Sasuke of this world was very strong. If he grew up to be an adult like that, he would never lie to Naruto as this guy did. That fool's way of doing things would surely be simple and straightforward, not convoluted, and his purity of thought would also not be so low.
So he definitely couldn't be the future Sasuke of this world.
"Can you tell me about your side of things?"
Naruto asked simply and directly.
"That's not a good idea."
The adult Sasuke slightly frowned and refused.
"No, you don't have to worry about causing any impact, because you are not the future Sasuke of this world. Even if you or that Otsutsuki change this world, it won't affect you," Naruto replied.
Sasuke still didn't answer; he seemed to be wary of something, or perhaps he was pondering something.
Naruto wasn't in a hurry, just quietly observing this adult Sasuke from the future. He was well aware that the biggest anomaly in this world was himself, having returned from the Teyvat world, and this Sasuke clearly hadn't been influenced by him, which meant he was the future Sasuke from the normal timeline.
So, he was actually quite curious, if he hadn't had that experience in Teyvat, what kind of life would he have led in the ninja world? Happy or sad?
Naruto had his guesses, but guesses were just that, not the truth. Only the truth from the future Sasuke's mouth would be satisfying.
"I'm sorry, please let me think about it a bit more," said the adult Sasuke in the end.
He wasn't Boruto who was easy to deceive and bully, not someone who could be dealt with a simple special training and a CPU tweak. Although Sasuke had already been slashed once and could possibly invent an Uchiha grappling move to counter Otsutsuki at any moment, he wasn't completely out of his mind.
"It's okay, I don't mind. For now, tell me about the Otsutsuki. That shouldn't be classified, right? I'm actually quite curious," Naruto said with a smile.
"No problem."
This time Sasuke didn't refuse and went on to explain in detail about the Otsutsuki clan, as well as his own battle with Otsutsuki Urashiki, describing the terror of this Otsutsuki.
He was eager for the Naruto of this world to take it seriously and not underestimate the enemy, as it was normal for someone of his age to be a bit proud of such strength.
"Hmm, I think I get it. Capturing Otsutsuki for Orochimaru's experiments wouldn't be bad," Naruto pondered and said, stroking his chin.
"?"
Sasuke was puzzled for a moment, then spoke seriously and earnestly, "That's the Otsutsuki clan. They possess immense power, can traverse planets, and they hold the power of immortality."
"But they couldn't even kill you."
Naruto retorted directly.
"?"
The adult Sasuke put out another question mark, frowning and asking, "Naruto, what do you mean? Do you think I'm weak?"
"You don't even have an arm, are you strong?"
Naruto countered.
"But I've activated the Six Tomoe Rinnegan, and I didn't lose my arm in that battle with Otsutsuki!" Sasuke argued seriously.
"Oh, fighting Otsutsuki with one arm, that just makes them look even more useless, tsk, they can't even beat a disabled person," Naruto teased.
"You..."
The adult Sasuke got angry, very angry, but Naruto across from him still had a smile on his face.
It turned out that teasing Sasuke was fun, no matter which world's Sasuke it was, even if he was the adult Sasuke, it was still so much fun.
"Here's the deal, I'll give you a chance. If you can defeat me, I'll acknowledge your strength and the danger of the Otsutsuki. Of course, any method is fine, I'll acknowledge it," Naruto said, tilting his head up slightly with a sharp look in his eyes.
Strange, I was having a good time, and it felt nice, so why do I feel a bit angry when I look up at Sasuke? Could there be some special reason?
Could it be...
Will Sasuke grow taller than me in the future? Jealous?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I could never be so childish!
Humph, what does height matter? I've grown for countless years in the world of Teyvat, possessing a life far beyond that of a ninja in the Shinobi world. With the accumulation of time, I've grown... to 1.7 meters.
Hiss, that doesn't seem very tall.
At least I'm taller than my friend Xiao!
