Naruto: Changing Fate

When Naruto and the Sandaime Hokage secretly talked for a long time until they left the No. [-] survival training ground from different directions and at different times in order to hide their presence, it was already late at night with the bright moon hanging high.

Speaking of which, that kid Sasuke seems to have gone back first...

In addition to the Sandaime Hokage who left first, Sasuke, who had finished his water walking training, had already had enough fun with Naruto's shadow clone in the water fight. Without noticing anything unusual, he used his fire escape to light a bonfire to dry his clothes and left early. He said hello to Naruto's shadow clone and went home early to show off his recent practice achievements to his father in exchange for his praise and recognition... so that unknowingly, Naruto returned to his original state. Being alone made Naruto, who had been accustomed to walking with Sasuke these days, somewhat uncomfortable.

Is it because I've been spending too much time with that kid recently... Hehe, I'm actually being pretentious. It's not the first time I've gone home by myself and care so much about what to do.

While shaking his head to get rid of the strange feeling in his mind, because he had unintentionally formed a close and deep bond with Sasuke, today he successfully made the Sandaime Hokage realize the reality and change his mind, making Naruto want to avoid the tragedy that is about to happen in the future. Stimulated by the double good news that gave him a little more certainty, Naruto, who had always been vigilant and on guard at all times, couldn't help but relax and feel a little happier.While walking back home through the alleys, he put his hands in his pockets and swaggered, jumping and speeding up, humming a tune happily.

...ah?Is it my imagination?That's... a child?

Just when Naruto arrived at the door of his house and was about to go upstairs to sleep to recover from the fatigue accumulated over the day, he inadvertently saw a small and helpless black shadow spinning around under the light not far away from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but stopped out of curiosity, and rubbed his eyes several times with his hands to make sure it was an illusion caused by his own misunderstanding.

You know, for being regarded as the incarnation of the nine-tailed demon fox by the whole village since he was a child, he has unreservedly forced the hatred and disgust of the nine-tails that should have belonged to the nine-tails that almost destroyed Konoha on himself, so that even from the time he lived here, he even For Naruto, who rarely had people passing by on the streets near his home, to be able to see other people at night when there were even fewer people was undoubtedly a dream-like hallucination!

It's so late that someone dares to stay near my house. It's really rare... Looks like he needs help?

After standing on the side of the road and waiting for a while, he realized that the person in front of him had no intention of leaving. Instead, he curled up and squatted down, trembling slightly and crying, which made Naruto helplessly shrug his shoulders.

Well, since I'm in a good mood today, I'll help her... Although I can probably guess that after the little guy sees me, he will be frightened by my 'demon fox' and cry even harder, which will make the situation worse. It becomes more troublesome.

While he was laughing and joking to himself, Naruto changed the direction of his advance and slowed down as much as possible to avoid scaring people. After guessing that the people in front of him could almost hear his words clearly, he bent his eyes and smiled and greeted them in a low tone. Say hello.

Um?What's wrong?What happened?

……Ugh?

……

As the temperature continues to drop after the beginning of winter, heavy snow falls, falling like white goose feathers, gradually covering the prosperous Konoha Ninja Village with a layer of white snow.

At this time, night has quietly fallen. The street lights on both sides of the road gradually turned on and lit up. While dispersing the darkness, they also illuminated the thick snow with warm orange light that pulled the figures far and near. faint.

I have been gone for so long, but I still can't find Uncle Hizashi. Is it because my father said that he is dead... and will never come back after he dies? Is that why it is so difficult to find...

In the quiet alleyway, Hinata, whose little face was slightly purple from the cold, was staggering forward step by step, muttering to herself in a low voice while folding her fleshy little hands in front of her body, exhaling hot breath to herself from time to time. Provides some warmth.

Whew, so... so cold... Whew... it was obviously not this cold a few days ago...

The temperature was falling rapidly, and the breath turned into frost and the ice was three feet deep. Hinata's memory was still stuck in the clear world full of warmth under the sun a few days ago, causing Hinata to feel helpless and panicked.While instinctively rubbing his little hands back and forth in an attempt to bring more warmth to himself, he raised his head slightly and looked at the night sky, although it had just fallen into the night, but he could still see scattered stars dotting the night sky like beautiful treasures.

Normally, Hinata would be standing at the door of her room wrapped in a warm and beautiful winter coat that was airtight to protect her from the severe cold, identifying and reciting the names of constellations with great interest while admiring this ingenious and beautiful night view.Or play and play in the snow in the large courtyard... But now, Hinata, who was shivering with cold after experiencing it firsthand, finally knew what kind of terrible crisis lurked in the beautiful snowy night that she had remembered in the past. .

Otherwise, go home first and ask your parents where to find Uncle Hizashi if he dies, and then put on thicker clothes before going out to continue searching?

Even adult ninjas whose physical fitness is far stronger than that of ordinary people cannot easily resist the severe cold ravages from the power of nature, let alone a three-year-old child like Hinata who is not even a genin?Stimulated by the chill that was constantly deepening and eroding her consciousness, the original motivation that prompted her to go out alone to find her uncle had long been exhausted. As her pace slowly slowed down, she felt retreat in her heart.

But soon, Hinata discovered a more serious and urgent problem than choosing between continuing to search or giving up going home.

well?If you want to go home...which way should you go...?

Shuiling's bright eyes flickered as she looked around. The more she looked carefully, the panic in Hinata's heart spread and deepened.

As the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan who lives at home all year round and rarely goes out, she has been searching aimlessly for a long time, but she has forgotten to remember the route she has taken.It was only when I was about to turn around and go back the same way that I realized that I was in a strange environment that I had never been to before.

At this moment, Hinata couldn't even remember which way she came, not to mention identifying where the way home was.

Alas... When I came here, I walked from the left... No, no, it should be the right... What should I do, they all look the same, I can't recognize them at all...

In the eyes of Hinata, who was shivering and unconscious, the dark and deep alleyway looked like the mouth of a wild beast with its mouth wide open, waiting to devour someone. Hinata couldn't muster any courage to take a step forward.After running around in circles for a long time and trying hard to figure out the way home, she finally succumbed to a child's natural fear of the unknown.

What should I do...Dad...Mom...Where are you...Ugh...

He bent his legs and slowly squatted down, covering his eyes with his hands and burying his face between his knees, his shoulders shaking slightly as he sobbed softly.

Um?What's wrong?What happened?

……Ugh?

Just when Hinata was becoming more and more helpless and frightened, a childish and gentle word came into her ears, which made her raise her head again with tears on her face, trying to identify the source of the sound like a drowning person who found a life-saving straw.

You are still here alone at such a late hour... Did you run away from home out of anger with your family, or did you get separated from your family and can't find your way home?

As the rustling sounds of walking on the snow and the gentle questioning voices became more and more clear, Hinata, who was squatting under the light, gradually saw a man with his hands in his coat pockets, his eyes bent and smiling, from the darkness directly in front of him. with boys of her own age.

Well, no matter what the reason is, considering the current weather, it is not suitable to stay outside at night. You may catch a cold... Now, do you still remember where your home is?

Blue and clear eyes, blond hair that shines like the sun under the light... I don't know why, seeing the person in front of me approaching cautiously step by step as if afraid of scaring myself, it's like seeing a little sun that represents hope to warm people's hearts. Likewise, the despair and fear that filled Hinata's heart gradually faded away.

Don't keep crying... Come on, be good, hold my hand, and I'll take you home.

……Uh-huh.

I don't know whether it was because of the cold or shyness. Infected by the gentle words of the person in front of her, Hinata, whose pretty face was slightly red, did not resist the warm palm that he stretched out to cover and hold her. She stopped her tears and stood up obediently. At the same time, she smiled slightly. He tilted his head and looked at it curiously.

At this moment, even Hinata herself didn't notice...

The image of the little boy in front of her with a gentle smile reaching out to her has been deeply engraved in Hinata's young mind, deeply rooted and eternal.
