'You are the Demon Lord, Sir Anos Voldigoad. What are you doing here?'

"Indeed, I am." he said. "It was my first day of demon academy and I was on my way when I suddenly felt a permanent soul binding contract. So I have to come and see who is the one with whom I am permanently bonded forever, which will exist even after eternity as long as our souls exist. So, tell me everything and if you are lacking time, there, now time will move very slowly in this district, and except us only your clones are here. And no need to call me sir, just Anos will do it, new friend."

After some moments I started, "Hi! My name is Alex Lock. And here, I am called Sasuke Uchiha. Nice to meet you. Instead of telling you everything it will be better if you read my mind. It will make everything easy."

"Alright," Anos said.

After that, he brought his hand to my head and started reading my mind.

After some seconds, "Interesting! So you come from a reality where there is everything normal, too normal, and all other realities are present as mere imaginations, but you all do worship or believe in the creator of all reality. And nice to meet you too," he said.

"Ahh... Yes." I replied.

"So what were you thinking about before I came?"

'I was just planning for ahead.'

'... So are you here to kill me?'

"I will not. But I have to say you really did choose your words carefully by adding 'positive' in your wish. But even if you hadn't, I would not kill you," Anos said.

'Sorry for that. But you did make gods extinct in your verse so...'

"You are right about that." he admitted.

As I was about to ask him, God's voice came- "So you get here safely!"

Then I asked, 'Yes. But why did I experience that pain?'

"Oh yes. That's why I have come here. So I tore your soul in half and merged your one half which has no memories with Sasuke's soul and after years when he awakened his sharingan I merged other half so now you are not someone who occupied his body. You are Sasuke Uchiha," God explained.

'Wait! So that's why I feel that pain. Couldn't you have done it the easy way? You literally made me pass through one of the punishments of hell for bad souls. That was unbearable. I was about to use my 4th wish there,' I complained.

"Oh. My bad. I didn't think about that. And I see you both have already met and getting along," God said.

Then Anos said, "Yes. And you are the one who made the contract. I am honored to meet you. I would like to have a talk with you. It's not every day I meet someone like you."

"Of course. You can come when you are free. Just think about it and we will meet. So I guess my work here is done." God replied.

'Wait! I just want to ask for a favor. Can you also just change the pattern of my mangekyo to a sun in left eye and a moon in right eye please?' I requested.

"Hmm, alright. It will be my compensation for the torture. Now bye," God said. And with that, he was gone.

After that, Anos said, "Well, I accept your friendship."

'...Thanks!' I replied.

"Well then, I will take my leave. And thanks," Anos said.

'Aa... thanks for what?' I asked.

"When I read your mind, I got to know that explaining me the situation was not the only thing you wanted, you also wanted to tell me my future. And now that I know there are other Demon Lords stronger than me, I will have a motivation to get stronger. And I also have taken your blood. I liked your mangekyo thing. I will make and use it in my eyes. Now, I will go back and here, I fixed everything and that time barrier is removed. If you have plans, do it because others will arrive in exactly four minutes. Bye."

Anos vanished, leaving me alone with the weight of his parting words. Sweat trickled down my back. The pressure was immense.

'Shadow Clone.' I muttered while doing hand signs, and a puff of smoke materialized into a perfect copy.

'Go to police headquarters and take the other clones to Naka Shrine to keep the documents there.' I instructed.

With a silent nod, the clone took off. I took a deep breath and headed towards the Uchiha district entrance, collapsing onto a nearby stone. Tears welled up in my eyes, a strange mix of relief and dread washing over me.

Perhaps, I had altered the course of events in another reality. Before, Anos Voldigoad might have been a top five contender, but now, fueled by the knowledge of stronger beings, he could potentially become number one. Training for a Demon Lord was unheard of, and who knew what power he might unlock with my blood and the Mangekyo design.

What if others came after me? A shiver ran down my spine.

'Meh,' I thought, forcing a smile. 'Anos can handle it. I really hope so.'

The optimistic thought did little to quell the unease churning in my gut. Just then, the familiar figures of the Hokage, several ANBU, Jonin, Chunin, and even Danzo emerged from the distance.

The Hokage and a few ANBU approached me directly, while Danzo lurked in the shadows, his eyes narrowed in scrutiny.

I met the Hokage's gaze, a heavy weight settling on my shoulders. "So you came," I croaked, my voice hoarse. "But you're too late. Everything is over."

An ANBU, unable to contain his frustration, blurted out, "What happened?!"
