Chapter 384 - Chapter 378: Timelines

Konoha, 4 years ago, Uchiha clan...

"I'll be back, Mom!"

"Take care."

In one of the clan's houses, a beautiful woman with long jet-black hair smiled tenderly as she bid farewell to her beloved son.

Nine years had passed since she gave birth, and her son had grown healthy and strong—a lively and adorable child.

Soon, he would become a splendid ninja; the woman was certain of that.

"Hm? This chakra?... I see, my child..."

Suddenly, her body trembled, and tiny sparks ran through her veins. Something inside her stirred, and she felt an inexplicable sadness.

Raising her gaze, the sun was setting and would soon disappear.

"I want to see him... how much he has grown."

With a gentle smile on her face, the woman left her home...

For the sake of her beloved son, for the light of Order...

"Here we are, Konoha four years ago..."

[What?! Time travel for real?! Incredible.]

Looking around, Eggy was excited, genuinely wanting to explore...

Time travel, if used to its full potential, could create miracles and catastrophes that might end the world, possibly altering the laws of the universe.

"Come on, we're not here to play."

With a hand on his mask, Yuki sank into the shadows; he was here for a single purpose.

To prevent the destruction of his clan...

[Is that the kid you?! How do I say... You are cute]

After a few minutes of exploration, Yuki quickly found his younger self, a cheerful and innocent boy playing with Sasuke and Naruto.

Eggy didn't know what to say; the younger Yuki was too innocent, completely different from the Yuki four years later.

"..."

Yuki didn't say anything; after all, this was natural. If not for regaining his memories, Yuki might have continued being kind and ignorant, and consequently happy...

Yuki thought it wouldn't be a bad life, possibly even better than the one he leads now.

[Yuki, if we're here to prevent your clan's destruction, won't it affect the future we come from?]

After thinking for a few minutes, this was Eggy's major concern. A slight change could completely alter the future, and Yuki knew this.

"There are two possible things that will happen."

Nodding, Yuki raised two fingers and kindly explained.

"The first, the future we come from will change entirely. It's possible we may never meet, and other events could occur, like one of us dying."

If Yuki prevents the Uchiha clan's destruction, his memories won't awaken, and he might remain ignorant. It's also possible that the civil war in Konoha will begin, plunging the village into the flames of war. They might die since many events were supposed to happen and didn't, altering the flow of life and death.

This is more impactful for Eggy, who possesses a destiny, which could be either beneficial or disastrous. As for Yuki, his life would undergo a more drastic change, affecting those around him even more.

"The second option is to create a parallel world where it doesn't affect our future, and it's entirely different from ours, as they won't be connected."

It's also possible to create a parallel future, and their future won't change at all. However, this possibility is very slim, as creating a parallel world requires large amounts of energy, and the Will of the world may intervene.

[Neither of the two options sounds like good news.]

"It's not, but don't worry, I've devised a plan to avoid these two options, and the future won't be affected."

Despite the danger and the implications of changing the future, Yuki had everything planned. He would prevent the Uchiha clan's destruction while avoiding altering the future.

A unchanging timeline, where no matter what he does, the future won't change, and events will continue unfolding.

For this, Yuki had to fake the death of the entire clan, take them to the mountains, seal them in ice to avoid vitality damage, and four years later, Yuki would break the seal.

So everyone would return to normal, and the Uchiha clan would be the same again.

Only then would the future not change, avoiding the creation of parallel worlds, creating an illusion about the past to not affect the future.

(Well, I must start)

There was still time before the massacre, except for Sasuke and himself, Yuki emerged from the shadows to start kidnapping people and replacing them with his clones.

"Yuki?"

However, just as he emerged from the shadows, a voice called him.

Yuki was petrified by this voice, so familiar and nostalgic that Yuki opened his eyes in surprise.

"Mother..."

Muttering, Yuki turned his gaze and found a terribly familiar woman.

This woman was his mother, whom he hadn't seen in 4 years, wearing a housewife dress and smiling in his direction.

Yuki was in shock; he didn't want to encounter his mother, not yet.

Only when everyone was evacuated, Yuki would go for his mother.

But more importantly, his mother called him by his name. It was clear that she recognized him; this was impossible...

And Yuki, at 13, was not the same as a 9-year-old Yuki. Moreover, he wore a mask, making it impossible to recognize him by appearance alone. Not to mention that the Apocalypse Virus changed his appearance and body significantly, making Yuki unrecognizable even without the mask.

Or so he thought...

"I knew it! I've been waiting for you, my child, come with me."

Without waiting for Yuki to react, the woman took Yuki's hand and began to drag him.

[Hey! What's going on? Didn't you say no one could recognize you? Why could your mother do it?]

"I'd like to know too! ..."

Yuki had too many questions and was as surprised as Eggy, maybe even more.

But he didn't have answers to what was happening; everything was too strange.

"You've got the wrong person!"

Trying to free himself, Yuki resisted. He couldn't let his mother obstruct his mission.

However, he never expected the next words from his mother.

"You're my son; I can recognize you even if you've grown up..."

These words were enough for Yuki to drop all resistance.

After all, his mother had achieved what no one else had...

Minutes later, Yuki was inside his old house, sitting in front of his mother while drinking tea.

Being back in this house was so nostalgic, bringing back so many memories that Yuki lowered his head while calmly drinking the tea.

"I know you have many questions, and I will answer each one, but first... could you take off the mask? I wanted to see how much you've grown..."

Unable to disobey his mother, Yuki removed the mask and smiled weakly.

"You're so handsome; I'm sure you attract women like bees to honey..."

Joking, the woman put a hand to her mouth, covering her smile.

"Mother.... You"

"Yes, I know what you're thinking, and you're right. I know very well that you're my son from the future..."

"!!"

This statement from his mother made Yuki stand up abruptly.

Time travel is almost impossible in this world, not to mention that it requires a lot of chakra.

For example, Yuki required a large part of his chakra, as well as Kurama and Shukaku's chakra, to be able to travel without problems.

But now, his mother knows it even without him telling her...

"I know you're confused, but every woman has her secrets."

Sticking out her tongue, the woman teased her son while her eyes weakened a bit.

"The fact that you're here means I'm already dead or something grave happened in the future... Am I wrong?"

"Mother, you know it? ...."

"Yes, I know very well. I know you enough to know that my dear son would do the impossible to prevent my death, and that's why you're here, right?"

"..."

Yuki was speechless; it's the first time someone could preempt him in a conversation. He even wondered if his mother could read his mind.

"I can't read your mind, but from your expression, I can guess some things. So, you can tell me without holding back; I'm your mother after all. You can trust me..."

"!!"

Having no other choice, Yuki no longer held back and told his mother the whole truth.

The reason for his visit, why he could time travel, his travels to other worlds, the group chat.

Yuki told her everything; he needed his mother to collaborate with him to save the clan.

Also, to save her. Not to mention, revealing the entire story was a relief, and a significant burden was lifted from Yuki's shoulders.

Although knowing the future wasn't ideal, Yuki didn't see much of a problem; his mother already knew he came from the future, so she must have some way of detecting Time waves.
