Somewhere in a hazy void…
Uchiha Sasuke wakes up. He is somewhere he doesn't recognize. Everything around him is filled with swirls of pastel colors. Sasuke hates them. Does that mean the technique failed?
'Not quite young man.' Sasuke turns around and sees the Sage. He is floating ever so comfortably in the vastness of this place.
'What is this then?' Sasuke asks. He has no time to bother with these things. He has to fix the past. Then he can see his brother again. And his parents too. That would be something. He hasn't seen them in ten years.
'It seems that when you used your technique something went wrong. While all your powers made their way just fine, it's your memories that didn't make it.' Sasuke opens his mouth. This is not what he wanted.
'Shoot!' he shouts. 'I have to fix this. Or else everything is going to go wrong.'
'I wouldn't be so sure of that.' The sage has a smile on his face. Sasuke doesn't like the look. It's suspicious.
'What'd you mean?' he orders. What could possibly have happened?
'Take a look at what's happening.' The sage touches the none existent ground with his staff and a vision appears on the ground. Sasuke looks at everything that's happening. And he's surprised. This is not supposed to happen. Sure, everything is working out so far, but only because of stupid ass luck and ego. Which is possibly the strangest combination.
'What!' he exclaims. 'I'm an ass.' He is always an ass but never this bad. Oh God. Did he get some sort of superiority complex or something? Sure he's not wrong but it's still crazy.
'Is that all you're concerned with?' The sage teases.
'Not really. But I guess everything is going fine. I saved Shisui. In the strangest way ever but it worked… somehow.' His mind is still processing everything that's happening. He looks at the old man. 'Are you sure I won't have to interfere?'
'I'd say keep watching. If you ever feel like there is a need to interfere call me and I will help you.' The man then disappears into nothingness. Sasuke blinks.
'That was strange.' Sasuke sits down on the ground and keeps watching. Little him is smart but a bit strange. It is a strange solution to the Obito problem though.
Sasuke is sure the man hasn't changed his ways or something. Only Naruto can cause that to happen, but it certainly is interesting development.
He could keep watching. It's funnier than doing things himself. He doesn't need to do anything besides being lazy. It's essentially living the dream. He would interfere later, he wants to speak to his brother after all. But he could live with this.
This is a very short chapter. It's not the best I've written but I had to get it out. Next up is a time skip.
