Sarada's call of "Dad" instantly left the 17-year-old Sasuke utterly bewildered.
Wait...
His brain seemed to have trouble processing it.
His daughter?
The future Uchiha heir?
He would get married in the future? Not to Naruto? Really have a daughter?
But women would only affect the speed at which he drew his sword!
How could he have fallen into such a situation?
No way!
Absolutely impossible!
Just as young Sasuke from Parallel World 6 was stunned, adult Sasuke from Parallel World 7 first said to his Naruto:
"Naruto, go control that enemy first."
"Don't let him escape!"
"I'll explain everything to my younger self."
"Understood!"
Six Paths Naruto from Parallel World 7 was surprised, immediately nodded, and instantly transformed into a flash of golden light, rushing towards Isshiki, who was at the center of the energy storm in the distance.
In less than one round, the severely injured Isshiki was completely defeated, captured, and controlled.
Seeing the future Naruto intervene, Demon God Sasuke from Parallel World 6 also prepared to act, but was immediately stopped by the future Sasuke.
"Idiot!"
"You still don't understand?"
"After killing that Isshiki, Kaguya and the Juubi will also die!"
"Of course, they will all revive, but do you know how long that will take?"
"Several years? Decades? Or a hundred years?"
"Can you wait?"
The question from Parallel World 7 Sasuke surprised Parallel World 6 Sasuke.
Sasuke, full of murderous intent in his rage, still had some sanity, but not much.
He only thought that killing Isshiki did not mean killing Kaguya, but completely ignored the time it would take for Kaguya and the Tailed Beasts to revive.
Even if Isshiki was utterly destroyed to ash, Kaguya and the Tailed Beasts he had absorbed would not die, but would require a long time to reassemble and revive.
And no one could guarantee this duration.
But Parallel World 7 Naruto and Sasuke were very certain that Parallel World 6 Sasuke definitely wouldn't be able to wait that long...
"Nothing is stopping you from killing Isshiki."
"After Naruto extracts the Tailed Beasts and Kaguya from that person's body, you can do whatever you want."
Parallel World 7 Sasuke added at the end.
This also made the enraged Parallel World 6 Sasuke completely suppress the burning murderous intent in his heart.
That's right!
Giving face to the future Naruto, postponing Isshiki's killing was also fine.
More importantly, the slightly calmer young Sasuke also didn't want to lose too much control in front of Sarada.
After all, after losing his brother Itachi, Sasuke was actually lonelier and more isolated than anyone; as for Obito and Madara, who were also from the Uchiha clan? Sasuke never considered them as clan members.
This was also one of the reasons why Sasuke eventually reconciled with Naruto.
After all, Naruto never gave up on him, no matter what.
Who could resist, when he was at his loneliest, lowest, and most alone.
No matter if he had to fight the entire world, for the sake of the white moonlight shining in his heart?
The lonely and still somewhat reckless Parallel World 6 Sasuke, facing his daughter from the future, would naturally be a little touched, not wanting to appear too cruel...
Although his fight just now had been quite terrifying, quite frightening.
"I understand."
"Then I'll give Naruto some face."
"As for you two..."
"She really is?"
Parallel World 6 Sasuke looked at Sarada with doubt and curiosity.
As a Six Paths user, he naturally already sensed the Uchiha bloodline in Sarada's body, as well as a touch connected to his own bloodline.
He had essentially confirmed Sarada's identity in his heart.
Parallel World 7 Sasuke pulled his daughter behind him, looking at his younger self with extreme vigilance.
"Sarada is my daughter; she has nothing to do with you!"
No one knew better than Sasuke how arrogant and irresponsible he was when he was young.
Let alone being uninterested in women, he was even obsessed with hating women.
Karin could be stabbed with a sword, Sakura could be knocked unconscious; don't expect young Sasuke to be kind to any female ninja.
That reckless and arrogant young figure, even adult Sasuke himself felt his face flush with embarrassment whenever he recalled it. There was a kind of shame he didn't want to remember from his chūnibyō phase.
In short, if it wasn't necessary, adult Sasuke absolutely did not want Sarada to meet his younger self in the past, let alone for them to have any contact...
To prevent his bastard self from corrupting his beloved daughter!
"Her name is Sarada?"
Parallel World 6 Sasuke's eyes lit up; the more he looked at Sarada, the more familiar she felt.
Now that Naruto was also gone, this daughter Sarada was almost the only anchor point of his bloodline, naturally making him care deeply.
"Dad, you were much handsomer when you were young!"
"But a little fierce..."
Sarada peeked her head out from behind adult Sasuke's back, curiously observing the demon-like young Sasuke, whispering softly.
The captivating beauty of the Uchiha could not be resisted even by the Hokage of every generation, let alone other female ninjas.
Don't forget how popular handsome young Sasuke was.
"Don't look randomly! That person is very dangerous..."
Parallel World 7 Sasuke pressed Sarada's head back, so she wouldn't keep observing his own chūnibyō history.
"Nonsense!"
"If you are my future self, why are you stopping her!"
"She's also mine... also a member of the Uchiha clan!"
Young Sasuke was still a bit awkward, unable to say the word "daughter", but his feeling of closeness to Sarada couldn't be hidden.
"She has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing his future self blocking him like guarding against a thief, young Sasuke finally bypassed that person and directly asked Sarada.
"Wait... who's your mother?"
"Oh! My mother is..."
Sarada was about to tell, but her mouth was instantly covered by adult Sasuke at light speed.
Some news could be revealed, some could not be revealed casually.
Sakura herself was not a problem; after all, she had long held feelings for Sasuke. If she knew that she could "get" Sasuke in the future, she would surely be happy, so it was fine.
But if young Sasuke here knew early, it might trigger rebellious psychology and truly disrupt the future, causing Sasuke and Sakura to miss each other.
Adult Sasuke didn't care much about his past self, but he deeply loved and cherished his daughter, Sarada, from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, he didn't want to kill the possibility of Sarada's birth in the future...
But young Sasuke was not foolish; instead, he was very sharp, immediately guessing roughly based on his future self's reaction.
"You don't want to tell me?"
"So, she's someone I know?"
"Karin?"
"Ino?"
"Could it be Sakura...?"
"It's impossible for all of them..."
"No way!"
"How could I?!!!"
The more young Sasuke thought about it, the more absurd it felt; he didn't understand how he could actually fall for a certain female monkey?
This is impossible!
"Enough!"
"Don't ask too many things you shouldn't know. When the time comes, you'll know for yourself."
Adult Sasuke interrupted his younger self's guesses and pointed towards Naruto and Isshiki there.
Indicating that the important matter there was the top priority, Parallel World 6 young Sasuke was forced to suppress his curiosity and once again rekindle his extreme hatred for Isshiki.
If it weren't for being in front of Sarada, with Sasuke's arrogant personality at the peak of Six Paths right now, he would surely beat his future self black and blue, so his future self would know what "a beating is feared by the young" means!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
*WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!*
Two black and purple lights flew together towards Parallel World 7 Naruto and Isshiki.
At this moment, Parallel World 7 Naruto had already captured Isshiki alive and was extracting the Juubi and Kaguya from Isshiki's body.
Besides wanting to help young Sasuke here revive the dead and save the poor Kyuubi here, it was also one of Parallel World 7 Naruto's hidden goals.
After all, now all nine Tailed Beasts were inside Isshiki's body; if he were truly killed, Kyuubi might also die for a very long time. So it was safer to extract him first. Although forced extraction would take a little time.
But for Six Paths Naruto from Parallel World 7, it was no problem at all. Moreover, this time there was Demon God Sasuke at the peak of Six Paths protecting him, so there was no need to worry about sneak attacks anymore. If there really was one, Sasuke would also make the enemy know what ruthlessness meant!
"Y-You all—!"
Isshiki's entire body had been bound by Naruto's Truth-Seeking Ball black staff, unable to break free. He was utterly terrified seeing the scene before him, watching Parallel World 7 Naruto forcibly extract the Juubi and Kaguya from his body. His head trembled, extreme fear and confusion mixed... making him completely unable to comprehend this sight!
The terrifying Sasuke who suddenly possessed combat power at the peak of Six Paths was already enough. Now another Six Paths Naruto appeared, and another Sasuke with a Rinnegan... Was this still the ninja world? Was he himself insane? Or was this world insane?
But Isshiki was very clear: once the Juubi and Kaguya were extracted, he, who would lose his immortality, would surely die!
He must not die!
He didn't want to die!
The extreme fear of death made Isshiki struggle without caring, thinking, pleading...
"No, don't kill me!"
"We can still talk; I swear I won't attack you again!"
"Let me go! I'll leave this planet immediately!"
"Everything I have, I can give to you! The God Tree, and its fruit, as well as Otsutsuki's secret techniques..."
Unfortunately, all of Isshiki's pleas could not sway the three killers in front of him.
Let alone the two Sasukes. Even this Naruto was no longer the soft-hearted Seventh Hokage.
"Wait—!"
"I haven't lost yet!"
"I still have reinforcements; I still have a chance!"
"Momoshiki! Help me!"
Isshiki roared with all his might, seeing his pleas were useless, he was forced to change strategy. Placing his last hope on Momoshiki, his fellow clan member. After all, the other party was his fellow clan member, and also promised to help him win!
But where was he?!!
