Chapter 293: The Future
Three days ago.
After Jiraiya accidentally met Sasuke and the boy, he immediately left Konoha and followed the trail of young Naruto and Sasuke all the way to Iwagakure in the Land of Earth.
Until now, Future Sasuke and the other two have been very close to Iwagakure.
During this period, Jiraiya basically confirmed Sasuke and Boruto's identities.
He even learned a lot of information about the future from Future Sasuke.
Each of them shocked Jiraiya and he exclaimed, "No way!"
Absolutely impossible!
According to what they said.
In the future of the ninja world: Konoha and the five great villages and five great countries, including all the small countries, have been destroyed for 20 years!
He, Naruto, and a small number of Konoha ninjas managed to survive.
They have escaped and hidden on the edge of the ninja world.
Naruto and Hinata married and gave birth to Boruto and Himawari.
Sasuke and Sakura also got married.
Unfortunately, long-term escape life is very dangerous, and many of the remaining Konoha ninjas died one after another during the escape.
This is also the reason why Boruto is so mature and resolute.
He was not born as a Konoha prince with a golden spoon, but a wanderer who escaped with his father for years.
Because he suffered from battles and death since childhood, his childish and innocent appearance has long disappeared.
However, he grew up much earlier than Boruto in the original story.

Jiraiya was horrified after hearing this. He couldn't imagine that the future would be so bad.
And judging from Boruto's expression when he first saw him, Jiraiya wasn't stupid and guessed that he had probably died a long time ago; that's why Boruto, Naruto's son, had never seen him.
"So, the ninja alliance lost this war? Konoha also lost? Is the organization called Akatsuki so powerful?"
Future Sasuke shook his head and gave his answer:
"Not really. In this war, the Ninja Alliance forces won, and Orochimaru won; the Akatsuki organization was also completely destroyed."
"Why?"
"Orochimaru is both their success and failure; he led the ninja alliance to victory, but in the end, he was destroyed by his greed."
"Greed?"
"He defeated Nagato and took the Rinnegan."
Jiraiya was stunned: "Wait… the leader of Akatsuki is Nagato? My student, Nagato?"
"Didn't Orochimaru tell you? I always thought you knew…"
"That bastard! I see. Is he worried that I'll protect my own student? How could I be such a person."
"I'm so angry! What happened next? Didn't you say Orochimaru won? Then how did Konoha and the five great villages get destroyed?"
Speaking of this, Future Sasuke's expression was a little cold. "After Orochimaru captured Nagato, he didn't kill him directly; instead, because he desperately wanted Nagato as a living experiment, he deliberately spared his life."
"Finally, that Black Zetsu took the opportunity, successfully controlled Nagato, and performed the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
"Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique? What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
"One of the Rinnegan's abilities that almost surpasses the scope of ninjutsu. Once used, it can perfectly resurrect the dead!"
"Huh? Who was resurrected?"
"Uchiha Madara!"
"Then, the Uchiha ancestor who's as famous as the First Hokage?"
When Boruto heard Madara's name, he couldn't help but frown.
After all, he has lived under the control of that terrifying demon king since he was born, and only recently has he been able to break free from him.
Even now, whenever he thinks back, he can't help but feel fear.
"Yes. But this Madara is very different from the one I know. He's been tricked by Black Zetsu's deceit to the point of paranoia; after his successful revival, he almost killed all the remaining ninja alliance forces. Only Naruto, me, and a few others managed to escape…"
"Wait! What you said is a bit confusing. What do you mean by another Uchiha Madara?"
"It's a bit complicated to explain. You can think of it as different personalities and cognitive concepts at different times. Just like before and after you know the Great Toad Sage's prophecy, your purpose and behavioral style will change dramatically."
"So! What happened next?"
"Later…"
Sasuke couldn't help but frown, as if he was immersed in bad memories.
"Then… Madara carried out a massacre. He single-handedly destroyed the five great villages, and wiped out the five great countries and all the other countries. He eventually established a great country that dominated the entire ninja world, and even completely abolished the ninja village system."
"Hiss… No one stopped him?"
Jiraiya clicked his tongue in surprise. It's hard to imagine that one person could dominate the entire ninja world. Isn't this too outrageous?
"There are! Too many people tried to stop him, but unfortunately, he killed them one by one."
"His power gap is too large, so large that it makes everyone desperate. With one person, no one in the world can stop him except Senju Hashirama!"
Fully resurrected by the Rinnegan, Madara at his peak is already the leader among Super Kage, and he also has a complete pair of Rinnegan.
Looking at the entire ninja world today, there's almost no one who can defeat him!
It took less than a month to scour the entire ninja world, and most of the time was spent traveling.
Facing such a brutal Uchiha Madara, of course, every village fought with all their might.
Unfortunately, they were like grasshoppers trying to stop a chariot, and were repeatedly defeated by the incredibly powerful complete form of Susano'o with its overwhelming power.
Sasuke didn't explain further.
In fact, Madara was very ferocious and cruel when he destroyed Konoha.
Including the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Hyuga Hiashi, Ino-Shika-Cho, etc.
They all died in that great battle!
Unfortunately, it still failed to stop Madara.
At that time, Naruto and Sasuke were still too young, and they had just finished the Chunin Exams, no matter how much they cheated, no matter how explosive they were…
They were also unable to compete with Madara in his prime.
In the end, only Kakashi, Naruto and his friends, and a small number of other Konoha ninjas, managed to escape Konoha and survive by chance.
What happened next was a long escape for twenty years.
Many stories happened during this period, and they also sacrificed many of their friends.
Unfortunately, in the end, they still failed to overthrow Madara's rule.
Sasuke knows very well that with Lux's support, it's impossible for them to overthrow the Ninja Empire established by Madara.
If it weren't for the help of the Rikudo Sennin and the implied involvement of Lux, they wouldn't have survived until twenty years later.
They were killed by Madara himself while escaping!
"So many tragedies happened in the future. Invincible Uchiha Madara? Just hearing it makes me feel desperate, doesn't it?"
"By the way, what about your Rinnegan?"
"It was given by the Rikudo Sennin…" Sasuke said lightly.
"The legendary Rikudo Sennin? Is he still alive?"
"He's alive, but not in the sense that we understand. He's immortal, he has achieved immortality in another sense."
"If so, why didn't Rikudo Sennin stop Madara?"
"He won't stop him. The pursuit and obsession of immortal beings are different from ours."
After years, Sasuke slowly began to understand many things.
These immortal beings are separated from the world most of the time and don't like to interfere with reality. But they all have their own goals and targets.
The essence of the Rikudo Sennin is that he doesn't allow his mother Kaguya to be resurrected; or rather, he doesn't allow anyone to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi again.
As long as this lower limit is not violated, he will not intervene even if many wars break out in the Ninja World; perhaps the Rikudo Sennin even hopes that the Ninja World will unite to end the war.
Sasuke can't be completely sure of Lux's ultimate goal, but it's likely that he also supports the unification of the ninja world, and he also needs to maintain peace in the long run after unification.
Simply put, he only loves the winners.
He only loves the people or forces who can realize the grand goal of unification.
It's truly a coincidence that Madara perfectly meets his requirements and quickly unified the ninja world.
Therefore, Sasuke and Naruto's escape and resistance cannot get the support of the two Immortals.
In the end, they naturally couldn't defeat Madara.
