"Clean every corner! Not a single speck of dust!" Uchiha Shisui barked orders as he oversaw the final touches on the house and courtyard.
Today was no ordinary day.
The home Su Xiuyu's parents had bought—a rare, detached house in Yangcheng—was now one of the few remaining independent buildings in the entire city. Since the wilderness migration, most of the population had crowded into urban areas, and city infrastructure was buckling under the weight of survival.
Housing conditions had deteriorated. Shared apartments, high-density housing, and resource shortages were the norm. Agriculture had been fully nationalized, and only the firepower and protection of the Secret Service allowed even a semblance of cultivation to continue.
But none of that mattered today.
Xiuyu's parents, beaming with joy, watched as the modest courtyard transformed into a celebration space. Red ribbons fluttered in the breeze, and the scent of flowers drifted softly through the air.
"Lord Xiuyu," Shisui asked quietly, "are you sure such a simple setup is enough?"
"It's fine," Xiuyu replied with a calm smile. "We'll hold a formal ceremony once we return to the ninja world. I prefer quiet weddings anyway—too many people just ruins the moment."
Half of the Uchiha worked on wedding preparations, while the rest remained stationed in Yangcheng, helping the Secret Service clean up lingering mutant beasts.
Three days later, the brides arrived.
Uzumaki Mito wore a flowing red Qin-style dress, her crimson hair perfectly complementing her attire. She looked like a rose in full bloom.
Uchiha Chisato, draped in a sleek white wedding gown, stood beside her—dark, shimmering hair cascading over her shoulders, embodying the elegance of a snow-white lily.
In the quiet courtyard, under the watchful eyes of Su Xiuyu's parents, the Uchiha clan, Lei Gang, and a few close allies, the wedding proceeded without fanfare.
Simple, sincere, and sacred.
Only Lei Gang muttered to himself in astonishment, "Two wives? Meanwhile, I haven't even started dating…"
Su Xiuyu turned to his wives and smiled gently. "I'm sorry if this felt too simple. We'll have a grander wedding when we return to Konoha. Still, having you both beside me after all these years… it's more than I ever dreamed of."
"Husband~" Mito and Chisato embraced him on either side, no words needed to express their feelings.
The next morning, the three awoke together, still in a daze.
Seeing each other's sleepy faces, they burst into laughter.
"Hubby," Mito murmured, "when are we going to have your children?"
Xiuyu stretched lazily, one arm around each of them. "There's no rush. With our current bodies, it might not be easy… but we've got plenty of time. What's the hurry?"
He looked up at the ceiling, letting out a breath of peace. For all the battles and ascension through the system, wasn't this what he had been fighting for? A quiet, happy morning—no war, no world-ending threats.
"Xiu Yu," Chisato whispered, "your parents still don't want to come to the ninja world?"
"No," he sighed. "They said they're used to life here. It's safer—no Akatsuki, no tailed beasts, no cosmic threats. I've set up layered barriers around the house, and the Uchiha added an external defensive seal too. They'll be fine."
After all, his parents had eaten the chakra fruit. Even a defective version had given them lifespans of a thousand years or more. There was no need to rush their pace.
Mito and Chisato nodded in understanding and cuddled closer, drifting back to sleep.

One Week Later
Su Xiuyu prepared to return to Konoha. Before leaving, he stationed an Uchiha to guard his parents and teach them basic chakra control. They now had the physical foundation to train—even if progress was slow, they had time.
Back in the ninja world, Konoha was stable. The joint Chunin Exams had concluded successfully, though not without incident.
The biggest loser?
Kumogakure.
The Fourth Raikage had lost an arm and part of the Land of Lightning's territory. Yet, upon returning, even A accepted the harsh truth—strength is absolute. With Su Xiuyu's power looming, Kumo had no choice but to bow their heads.
As promised, Su Xiuyu held a grand wedding in Konoha—but limited only to high-ranking ninja and clan representatives.
To accommodate the attendees, Su Xiuyu created an enormous virtual dimension as the wedding venue, accessible only through invitation. A marvel of space-time and genjutsu, it was a place where even legends could gather.
The full Uchiha and Uzumaki clans were present. So were representatives of every major family in Konoha.
Who would miss the chance to witness the union of three legends from the Warring States Era?
Su Xiuyu. Uzumaki Mito. Uchiha Chisato.
Living history, walking among them.
Even the new generation's finest—Konoha's Twelve—were there. Among them, four familiar faces served as flower girls: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Karin, and Hyuga Hinata.
All handpicked by Su Xiuyu.
"Sasuke," Naruto whispered, "why did Uncle Xiuyu marry two women?!"
"Is there some ninja rule that says you can only marry one?" Sasuke shot back dryly.
Naruto blinked. "No… but still!"
Sasuke sighed. This is the wedding of the clan's ancestor, you idiot. Show some restraint.
"Lord Xiuyu is so handsome," Karin gushed from behind. "Is he really from the Warring States Era?"
"It's true," Sasuke replied. "Our clan's records mention him many times. His appearance never changed—he doesn't age."
Sasuke, unlike Naruto, had done his homework. Standing in the same space as their ancestor, even he felt the pressure of being in the presence of a true legend.
The wedding concluded in grandeur and reverence.
For many Konoha shinobi, it was the first time seeing the God of the Ninja World in person. The only ones who had seen him before—like the First and Second Hokage—were long gone.
Most of these younger ninja had grown up hearing exaggerated tales of the Third Hokage, with titles like "Professor of Ninjutsu" or "Strongest Hokage."
But now?
Now they saw what real power looked like.
Just the spatial techniques Su Xiuyu used to build the venue had already eclipsed their imaginations. A fusion of high-level space ninjutsu and illusion artistry—it was something out of myth.
---------------------------
After the festivities ended and the guests had left, Su Xiuyu, Uzumaki Mito, and Uchiha Chisato finally found a moment of peace.
But Su Xiuyu's eyes narrowed. "Come out. You've been hiding since the wedding. Did you really think you could hide from me?"
From the shadows, two familiar figures emerged—one with raven hair and a missing arm, the other a teenage boy with whisker-like marks on his cheeks.
"Sasuke? Boruto?"
Su Xiuyu recognized them instantly. One was the older, battle-worn Uchiha Sasuke—missing an arm—and the other, unmistakably Uzumaki Boruto, bearing both Naruto's features and energy.
Sasuke's eyes sharpened. In an instant, his Rinnegan and Mangekyō Sharingan activated, and he stepped protectively in front of Boruto.
"Who are you? How do you know us?" he demanded.
Su Xiuyu didn't flinch. "Put those eyes away. If I wanted to hurt you two, you wouldn't have made it past the city's barrier."
With a single blink, Su Xiuyu's own Rinnegan revealed itself. A subtle pulse of chakra followed—just a taste of his power—and Sasuke was immediately crushed to the ground by sheer pressure.
"You?!" Sasuke's legs buckled under the weight of Xiuyu's presence. He had felt Kaguya Otsutsuki's power before… but this was something else entirely.
"Who are you?" he hissed through clenched teeth.
Su Xiuyu gave a calm, almost mocking smile. "My name is Su Xiuyu. A remnant of the Uchiha from the Warring States era. Some call me the God of Shinobi. I've defeated Hashirama Senju, Tobirama, Madara, and Otsutsuki Kinshiki. I've fought the God King Odin to a draw and am the future Sorcerer Supreme. Which title are you asking about?"
Sasuke froze. He didn't understand the references beyond Kinshiki, but he understood enough.
"Let me go," Sasuke muttered.
"Then learn humility," Su Xiuyu said coolly, withdrawing his aura.
Sasuke slowly stood up, his expression still guarded.
"You're shockingly low on chakra," Su Xiuyu observed. "With a Rinnegan, your reserves should be far greater. What happened to you?"
"My chakra's been unstable since arriving in this world," Sasuke admitted. "I haven't been able to recover to full strength."
"Pathetic," Su Xiuyu muttered. "No wonder you're struggling."
Sasuke bristled but stayed silent. He wanted to retaliate, but deep down, he knew—he didn't stand a chance.
"Why haven't you gone back yet?"
"We used an Otsutsuki artifact to cross dimensions," Sasuke replied. "It's called Karasuki. But it broke down after use. We're stuck."
Sasuke took out a small, ornate bottle with strange inscriptions. "It hasn't responded in days."
"Let me see that."
Su Xiuyu took the artifact in hand, closed his eyes, and channeled space-time chakra into it. After a few moments, a flicker of light emerged from the core of the item.
"It's just low on dimensional energy. I've recharged it a bit. Should be good for a few more uses."
"Master!" Boruto exclaimed with bright eyes. "It's working! Karasuki responded!"
He was visibly relieved. The strangeness of this world—the overpowered Uchiha, the ancient customs—had always made Boruto uneasy.
Just then, the artifact began to glow, and a mechanical voice echoed from within.
"Lord Xiuyu," the voice said respectfully, "may I ask… are you from the homeworld?"
Su Xiuyu raised an eyebrow. "You can tell?"
"I am an Otsutsuki construct," the artifact explained. "I can sense pureblooded lineage. Your aura… far exceeds that of most main branch Otsutsuki."
Su Xiuyu chuckled. "So you noticed."
"I'd be defective if I didn't, my lord. I exist to serve those of Otsutsuki heritage."
"Good. Then you'll return these two to their world—and keep my identity secret. There are still some Otsutsuki lurking out there. If they cause trouble in my absence, I'll be annoyed."
"Understood. I would not dare."
Su Xiuyu turned to Sasuke. "Take Boruto back. And give him a proper lesson. He's way too soft. Didn't Naruto need a few beatings before he shaped up?"
Boruto flinched. "Hey—!"
"You heard me," Su Xiuyu said with a smirk. "No more freeloading in my timeline. You've overstayed your welcome."
Uzumaki Mito and Uchiha Chisato joined him, each wrapping an arm around his. As they walked away, Su Xiuyu didn't bother to look back.
The activation of Karasuki signaled the end of this unplanned visit—and the start of Sasuke and Boruto's journey home.
From afar, Uchiha Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi watched silently from atop Hokage Rock.
"Looks like Sasuke had a rough time," Mikoto murmured.
"Yeah," Fugaku agreed. "Lost an arm, huh? He's been through hell."
"He's still our child. As long as he survives, there's hope. Let's protect this timeline while they return to theirs."
As Karasuki surged with light, Sasuke and Boruto stood ready.
"Boruto, the portal's opening. Get ready."
"I'm ready, Master!"
A pillar of radiance engulfed them, and in an instant, the two disappeared.

Inside the Dimensional Rift
Sasuke stared into the swirling tunnel of time and space.
"Karasuki tell me honestly. Is Su Xiuyu an Otsutsuki?"
"Yes," the artifact replied casually. "Why?"
"He's an Uchiha. His surname isn't even Otsutsuki."
"Names mean nothing. His blood is stronger than any Otsutsuki I've ever encountered."
Sasuke fell silent, thinking back on the overwhelming presence, the Rinnegan, and the absurd power Su Xiuyu radiated with ease.
Even at his peak, alongside Naruto, he wouldn't have stood a chance.
"So that's power…"
It was far beyond Kaguya.
Far beyond anything he'd ever seen.
"Maybe that's why the Uchiha are thriving in this world," Sasuke whispered. "Because they have someone like him leading them."
He clenched his fist, equal parts envious and in awe.
Compared to this world, his own timeline felt... fractured.
And as the dimensional path led him home, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a deep sense of melancholy.
