Naruto Returns From the Genshin Impact World

Young Sasuke reflected for a moment, then with a peculiar expression, he sighed, "Sigh, maybe it's because she didn't have a very good life before. After you defected, you didn't take good care of her, and she didn't develop well during a critical period."

Karin was previously in Kusagakure Village, constantly bitten and having her chakra absorbed. Being used as a blood bag so frequently during a crucial period of growth, it would be odd if she did grow larger.

'Not a good life?'

The adult Sasuke pondered carefully. Sakura was indeed ostracized as a child, but it wasn't so bad, was it? Her troubles were minor, she had both parents, and her standard of living was quite decent. She was already doing quite well.

"Could it be that this guy is kind hearted than me, he is unable to see Sakura being bullied? So he thinks that's already not a good life?"

"You really are kind-hearted."

Adult Sasuke said softly.

"I'm only kind-hearted at times; I'm hardly a good person." Young Sasuke sat on the steps of the corridor, hands crossed in front of him, his expression complex as he remembered the slash he had delivered in Iwagakure Village.

But something still felt off to him, and he asked adult Sasuke again, "Really... just that big? Something feels off to me?"

"Really, I think it's more about innate factors," adult Sasuke said.

"Is that so?"

Human growth and development require continuous energy consumption, and chakra is the aggregation of physical and spiritual energy. Karin, during her growth period, was constantly bitten and had her chakra drained. It's commendable that she grew at all, so it's understandable if some areas didn't develop as expected.

Now, her life has improved. She's no longer drained of chakra daily and can even absorb natural energy to nourish her body, so her development in certain areas has improved significantly compared to before.

How big is it?

Even bigger than what adult Sasuke gestured!

So, young Sasuke couldn't understand why Karin seemed to get smaller as she grew. That didn't seem right. And why did his reaction seem forced, as if he was making a big deal out of something unimportant?

That's not right!

"Are you sure about the size?"

Young Sasuke asked again.

"I... am not too sure."

As he was questioned, adult Sasuke also began to lose confidence, his gaze evasive as he said, "I'm often out on missions, so I rarely get home. There might be some discrepancies."

"You're not even sure about that?!"

Young Sasuke exploded, cursing, "Are you even human? You defected from Konohagakure from the start, made her wait for three years, established a relationship after turning seventeen, and then made her wait even longer as you grew up, and you can't even be sure about the specifics. Are you trash?!"

"..."

Though harshly criticized, adult Sasuke found it hard to retort because that's indeed the kind of person he was, always leaving Sakura to fend for the home, not even knowing what his own daughter looked like.

As a father and a husband, he was undoubtedly a failure.

"Something's not right. Even if the worlds are different, based on the commonality of history, you should be a strong person in your world, right? You shouldn't be weak," young Sasuke continued to press. 

"Yes... I am indeed strong, stronger than the Kage of the five great ninja villages," adult Sasuke replied.

"Then there's no problem. You're so strong, why do you still have to be out on missions every day and not come home? Don't you ever think about why you became strong? Don't you wonder what kind of person you've become? Don't you ever think about the kind of family affection you once longed for? You've been rained on, so you let your own child and wife get rained on too. Are you useless?" young Sasuke continued to rage.

"..."

Adult Sasuke's face turned green, and he could only offer a weak explanation, "In this world, there are many things that strength alone can't easily solve. They're complicated, like wars. The power of one person can hardly sway a war. Peace needs to be maintained by the five great ninja villages together, I..."

"Go to hell!"

Young Sasuke interrupted him, then quickly stepped in front of adult Sasuke, poking his chest and saying, "The power of one person can't stop a war? That's a joke. I just stopped a war concerning Iwagakure Village before I came back, did you know that?"

"Have you ever tried? Have you ever made an effort? Is your way of thinking correct? If Iwagakure Village wants war, then fight. Fight them to death, until their village is destroyed and they dare not wage war again. Do you understand how to operate? Drive Susanoo straight into their village and fight to the death!"

"Huff... huff..."

It seemed he had gotten carried away. Young Sasuke's chest was heaving rapidly, and the adult Sasuke across from him was stunned, taken aback by his younger self's ferocity.

"Oh, right, are you still thinking about politics like those dogshits at Konohagakure's higher-ups? Pfft, politics and schemes are just a pile of dogshit wrapped up nicely, squeezing the life out of trash like you! Strong but thoughtless trash!"

"..."

Adult Sasuke was completely dumbfounded, truly reminded of his past self, the one who wanted to bring revolution to the world after the Great Ninja War. This guy's thinking was exactly like his own back then, even more straightforward and brutal.

"Sigh."

He sighed again and said, "I once had a similar idea to yours, but my idea was negated by Naruto, followed by a great battle, and in the end, I became what I am now."

"Naruto could negate it?"

"Wouldn't he?"

"Shouldn't he?"

"Isn't he supposed to?"

In his series of rhetorical questions, adult Sasuke gradually recalled his encounter with this world's Naruto and realized that this Naruto seemed indeed different. This guy was more carefree, more confident in every move, unlike the Naruto who craved others' recognition.

"I don't care what kind of person you were before, but now that you're back, you must be yourself again. Otherwise, don't call yourself Sasuke. Go be someone else's lackey, it's a disgrace to the name!" young Sasuke scolded.

"..."

Adult Sasuke felt insulted and after a brief contemplation, he directly challenged, "You say you stopped the war in Iwagakure Village, what did you do? What makes you think it was you who stopped the war and not just a trivial part of the outcome?"

"On what basis?"

Young Sasuke laughed, a scornful laugh. He looked up proudly and said, "I split Iwagakure Village in half with a single slash of Susano'o, is that enough?"
