Naruto Birdcage

A summer rain poured down in torrents, finally bringing relief to the stifling heat of the day.

After the heavy downpour, fine drizzle continued to fall endlessly, lingering like the flowing hair of a woman resting beside her lover—strand after strand, unwilling to break away.

Yawning, Naruto wandered into the living room and shut the window that had been creaking noisily in the wind.

However, he left the door open, letting the cool breeze flow in.

He opened the fridge and took out a can of soda.

Pshh—

Tilting his head back, he took a big gulp, feeling the refreshing chill spread through his body.

At this hour, everyone in the house was taking an afternoon nap, likely sleeping soundly to the rhythmic patter of rain outside.

Barefoot, Naruto sat on the wooden veranda, gazing at the dense curtain of rain falling in the courtyard.

Droplets occasionally splashed onto his skin, sending a cool shiver through him.

He noticed a figure walking briskly along the veranda—it was Hinata.

"Where did you go?" Naruto asked curiously.

"None of your business," Hinata shot back, cutting off his question with a single remark.

Naruto smacked his lips in annoyance but didn't argue.

He could easily guess where she had gone.

At this time of day, the only place she would go was the front hall to see their father.

Their father had always shown her a bit of favoritism, which was probably why she had grown so spoiled.

That was something Ayari Mama often said.

Naruto thought back to the Hinata from the other world a few days ago—she had been quite gentle, speaking in a soft and delicate voice.

But in that world, it seemed like his other self didn't have parents, which was really unfortunate.

After sitting at the doorway for a while and finishing his can of soda, Naruto turned back into the house and returned to his room, only to find Sasuke sitting on his bed.

Since Neji had school, he wasn't home at this time.

Not thinking much of it, Naruto casually greeted him, "You're awake."

"..."

Stretching lazily, he lay back down on his own bed and started talking to himself. "Hinata just went to see Dad again. She always picks this time to bother him..."

"You just mentioned Hinata?"

A sudden voice interrupted him.

Naruto paused, turning his head toward Sasuke, only to be shocked by what he saw—his eyes were blood-red, with three pitch-black tomoe spinning within them.

"Sasuke, you…" Naruto was utterly dumbfounded.

"This is… the Sharingan?! When did you awaken it?!"

He was so shocked that he nearly jumped off the bed.

Rushing to Sasuke's side, he couldn't help but scrutinize him from head to toe.

Sasuke, however, simply furrowed his brows and remained silent, his crimson eyes fixed intently on Naruto.

"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Naruto, after rambling in shock for a while, finally noticed Sasuke's eerie silence and found it odd.

Sasuke's gaze slowly swept across the room, taking in everything—the photos hanging on the wall, the framed pictures placed on the desk.

One particular frame caught his attention.

He suddenly grabbed it and stared intently at the image of a black-haired woman within it.

"Sasuke?"

Naruto waved his hand in front of Sasuke's eyes, but Sasuke suddenly grabbed his wrist in a tight grip.

"Ah—ouch! Let go! Let go now!"

Sasuke stared at Naruto for a while longer before finally releasing his hand.

Naruto rubbed his aching wrist and, at that moment, finally noticed the difference in the person before him—there was a coldness and gloom between Sasuke's brows that he had never seen before.

A sudden thought struck him, and he immediately bolted toward the door.

"Mom! Sasuke—Sasuke is acting weird too!"

But just as he reached the doorway, he ran straight into someone's chest.

"Dad?"

Seeing his father, Naruto immediately let out a breath of relief, then quickly said, "Dad, Sasuke is acting really strange! Is he the same as me and Hinata before?"

Makoto simply ruffled Naruto's hair lightly and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Inside the room, Sasuke was now watching Makoto with a wary gaze.

"No need to be so defensive," Makoto said as he took the initiative to speak and then stepped inside.

He had originally been in the front hall when he suddenly sensed a disturbance in the soul coordinate technique on Sasuke's body, prompting him to come over.

But this time, he was able to confirm something—the soul travel phenomenon was indeed one-way.

The souls of this world didn't swap places with those from the other world.

Instead, a soul from the other world would arrive here and temporarily take over the body of its counterpart.

The soul coordinate technique that Makoto had placed on Sasuke had not suddenly disappeared like it had with Hinata—it was still within Sasuke's body.

"Who are you?" Sasuke questioned.

Makoto casually picked up a family photo from the table beside him and pointed at himself in the picture.

"I am your father."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's expression instantly darkened.

Makoto, however, chuckled lightly and said, "Don't get worked up. You've noticed your body is different, haven't you?"

Sasuke frowned and remained silent.

From the moment he became aware, he had realized something was off—his body had suddenly turned into that of a child.

At first, he thought it was an illusion, but if that were the case, it would be an incredibly advanced one.

Makoto continued, "Simply put, you've arrived in another world. This world has people similar to those from your original world, yet there are also significant differences. Can you tell me how old you originally were?"

Sasuke did not respond to his question.

To him, this explanation sounded utterly absurd.

Another world…? How could that be possible?

Could it be… Itachi's genjutsu?!

At that moment, several figures appeared at the doorway, having been drawn over by Naruto's earlier shouting.

Sasuke turned his gaze toward the entrance, and the moment his eyes landed on a certain black-haired woman, he froze in place.

"Sasuke."

Mikoto walked straight in, her face full of worry as she approached Sasuke.

She then turned her gaze to Makoto. "Makoto?"

Makoto reassured her, "Don't worry, it's the same situation as Naruto and Hinata."

Watching Sasuke's reaction, Makoto was also making some guesses in his mind.

Seeing such a strong reaction to Mikoto, the Uchiha massacre must have already happened.

The three-tomoe Sharingan, the cold demeanor…

Mikoto hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sasuke, do you... still recognize me?"

Sasuke's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He lowered his head, avoiding Mikoto's gaze, and brought his hands together in front of him to form a hand seal to dispel genjutsu.

Makoto felt the chakra in Sasuke's body suddenly stagnate for a moment before flowing again.

"You are not under a genjutsu," Makoto said calmly. "There's no point in trying."

As Makoto spoke, he simultaneously gestured for the others to leave.

Seeing this, Ayari led everyone out of the bedroom and closed the door behind them.

"Are you still following Orochimaru?"

"..."

Seeing that Sasuke's guard remained high, Makoto continued, "I already told you, you're not under a genjutsu. If I had any intention of harming you, would you still be standing here unharmed?"

With that, he placed a hand directly on Sasuke's shoulder.

Sasuke was startled and instinctively tried to resist, but in the next instant, he felt the chakra within his body suddenly go out of control, surging wildly like a raging river.

At the same time, an overwhelming sense of weightlessness struck him, as if he were plummeting from a hundred-meter height into a bottomless abyss.

However, the sensation came and went in a flash.

By the time he regained his senses, Makoto had already withdrawn his hand, but Sasuke was left drenched in cold sweat.

What was that just now…?

He lifted his head to look at the unfamiliar man before him and noticed that the other's eyes shimmered like dazzling stars.

"This is your mother, Mikoto. The two children you saw earlier are Naruto and Hinata. But since they are my children, their appearances might be slightly different from what you remember."

"..."

Sasuke shifted his gaze toward Mikoto.

Mikoto said, "Sasuke, do you not remember me?"

Sasuke swallowed, his throat moving up and down.

"Mo...Mom..."

Mikoto immediately reached out and pulled him into her embrace.

The warmth of her hug...

This long-lost feeling made it impossible for Sasuke to maintain his cold demeanor.

His trembling hands reached out, wanting to hold onto the woman he had longed for day and night, yet for some reason, his hands froze in midair.

"It's okay, my child. It's okay. Mom is here," Mikoto gently stroked Sasuke's back and spoke in a soft voice.

When Mikoto finally let go of him, Sasuke remained silent, his gaze shifting toward Makoto.

"What? Do you want a hug from Dad too?" Makoto teased with a grin, spreading his arms open.

Sasuke's expression darkened. "You're not my father."

Mikoto's face showed concern again.

When the Hinata from another world had appeared, she had already vaguely guessed what her situation might be in that world.

Makoto smiled and said, "I may not be in your world, but in this world, your name is Hyuga Sasuke, and you are indeed my son."

"..."

Seeing Sasuke's expression, Makoto pondered for a moment before saying, "You also have an older brother. Do you want to meet him?"

The moment the word "brother" was mentioned, Sasuke's face instantly turned ice-cold.

His reaction made Makoto understand something.

This kid was right in the middle of his rebellious phase.
