Another universe?

whisper of doubt

Sarada made her way home after buying tomatoes, her head is still thinking about those two kids. She try to stop thinking about after what her dad said but she can't.They seem really familiar just like her d—

A voice interrupted out of nowhere.

"You seem deep in thoughts, Uchiha."

Sarada muscles tensed instantly, her hand hovering near her kunai pouch.She turned sharply, she didn't recognize them.

"Who are you?"

The figure chuckled, the sound calm but laced with something unreadable."Just someone who noticed things."

Sarada frowned."What do you want?"

"I saw you earlier,you seem curious about.. something."

Sarada expression remained neutral, but she knew exactly what they were referring to.

The stranger titled their head."That's good you should be curious.After all a lot of strange things been happening."

Sarada didn't answered.

A low chuckled."People appearing out of nowhere. Your father suddenly returning after being away for so long...doesn't that seem strange to you?"

Sasuke return was sudden.She hadn't question it too much—just happy to see him..but now.

The stranger voice dropped lower, smooth and taunting."You've inherited his sharp mind, hadn't you?You seen the patterns,you connect things."

"What are you trying to say?"

The stranger smirked."I'm just suggesting that maybe you look closer.You might not like it but ignoring it won't make it disappear.."

They took a step back into the darkness.

"Be careful Uchiha, sometimes the truth isnt what you want it to be."

And just like that,they were gone.

Sarada standing there in the empty street, her mind racing.

What the fuck?

..........

Sarada pushed open the front door,stepping inside. She had been restless since her strange encounter earlier.She couldn't shake the feeling that they were connected to something much bigger.

Then she heard it.

Her father voice.

She stopped in her tracks,heart skipping a beat. Dad was home?Again?That was twice in such a short time.

She was about to step forward when another voice made her freeze.

Her mother.

"Are you sure we can trust Orochimaru with this?"

Sarada eyes widened.What?
