Naruto: Changing Fate

Chapter 201 Unexpected Traveling Companions

Will the entire village be Naruto's solid backing... Obviously more than a year ago, Naruto was just a monster who was reviled and hated by the villagers. Now, in comparison, the changes are really big...

After conveying the message from the Sandaime Hokage, Itachi consciously closed his mouth. While looking at the stunned Naruto with a smile in his eyes, he remained silent and allowed him to slowly digest what he wanted to express in this message. meaning.While his thoughts were swirling, he was muttering to himself as he thought of the strange scenes peeked from the depths of Naruto's heart during the Ninja School Freshman Entrance Examination.

However, the damage caused in those three years is really not that easy to make up for... After killing the biggest enemy that caused your miserable childhood, have you no longer nostalgic for the village... Will that monster really be you in the future? ?Naruto.

However, just as Itachi was secretly pondering whether he should force Naruto to stay in the village now.Naruto, whose eyes were dull, not only gradually came back to his senses, but his response after that made Itachi feel dumbfounded.

Ha ha ha ha!Hey, hey, brat, look at the good thing you did... Hahahaha, I asked you to pretend to be mysterious and cool, this misunderstanding is really big~

……ha?Alas...wait...wait, wait a moment, let me clear my mind...I won't ask why I want to leave the village, but let me know that Grandpa Sandaime Hokage and the village will always support me behind my back...

After his consciousness gradually returned to his original state from the state of shock, Naruto did not bother to respond to the Nine Lamas inside him who were already covering their stomachs and rolling on the floor with laughter. The corners of his mouth twitched and he waved his hands repeatedly to attract the attention of the two people in front of him while murmuring. Muttering to himself.Then he paused for a moment and slowly raised his head.While his eyes met Itachi's and looked straight at him, he continued to speak with a trembling voice and an increasingly weird expression, as if he was trying not to laugh.

Uh... um... tell me... do you... do you... think that I... plan to defect...?

After seeing Naruto's weird reaction of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud, Itachi's heart suddenly twitched instinctively.After being a little surprised for a while, he suddenly realized... that he and the Sandaime Hokage might have made a mistake.Immediately after facing Naruto's face, which became increasingly difficult to suppress, so that the whole face was distorted and looked particularly funny, he couldn't help but feel guilty and embarrassed.

Could it be that...this brat really just wants to travel?No, he obviously just... Oh, I almost forgot again.In terms of his inner age, Naruto is no longer a child...

While sweating slightly on his forehead, Itachi raised his hand, trying to hide the embarrassment on his face, and tilted his head a little guiltily to avoid looking into Naruto's smiling eyes.

……ah?Well...that's almost...that's what it means...

Hahaha!I didn't expect it to be like this...Pfft...Pfft hahaha, I'm really convinced by you. What are you thinking about all day long?Why should I give up the life that has improved now and is gradually starting to get better?If I really had enough of the unfair treatment accumulated over the past three years and wanted to defect... I could have left as soon as the special training was over, and why bother designing the questions for this year's entrance exam? , and waste time attending in person?

After confirming that his guess was true from the reactions and words of the people in front of him.After all, Naruto still couldn't hold back the smile that swelled in his heart.While laughing heartily regardless of the image, he was completely relieved and slowly rolled up the map in hand and put it back in his backpack.While continuing to walk forward with a natural expression, he took advantage of the height advantage of being much taller than Itachi under the effect of the transformation technique. He stretched out his hand, covered and lightly rubbed Itachi's face, which was full of embarrassment and even turned slightly red. Little brain.Then he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, lowered his voice a little, and continued speaking in a gentle and gentle tone.

It seems that even though you also have the ability to predict the future, you still fail to keep a calm mind like the man who carries darkness for his whole life... Well, in a sense, this doesn't mean anything to me. That said, it's a good thing to be happy about...

Itachi-san, I am very happy that you are not him...or, I am very happy that you did not directly become him because of my intervention.

……

After hearing Naruto's last words, Itachi's mind couldn't help but picture himself dying with a smile on his face - or in other words, another self who walked on according to his original destiny - so that his lips curled up slightly. Zhang Hejian, but couldn't say a word to refute.After Naruto retracted his hand, in order to cover up his discomfort, he turned his head slightly and curled his lips with a red face, complaining angrily.

Hey, we misunderstood, and it’s not because of you... If you don’t even say hello, but you want to leave the village and go to Sunagakure Village, everyone will misunderstand it... Also, don’t touch my head, Obviously speaking of my true age, I can still be considered your elder brother.Don't you think it's weird when a younger brother touches his older brother's head?

Ah...?Phew…puff hahaha!So that’s it, so you’ve been silent all this time, is it because you’re struggling with this?Hahaha!

Taking advantage of the stunned moment of the person in front of him, after successfully touching the head of the future Itachi God, Naruto was suddenly filled with a proud sense of accomplishment.While not concealing the awkwardness in his heart, he held his stomach and laughed out loud, while passing through the gap between Itachi and Shisui.Then, under Itachi's cute look, which was getting redder and redder and almost entering a state of irritation, he tried his best to suppress the hearty laughter that rose to his throat.He waved his hands tremblingly and continued speaking word by word without looking back.

Well, now that we know the truth, there is no need to continue doing the job of being a guard but actually supervising and 'defecting' together, right?Then, I will continue to set off... In other words, next, whether you plan to follow me to Sand Hidden Village or return to the organization to continue training, it depends on your choice. ~

...Tsk, now that things have happened, there is no room for us to go back on our word... Sand Hidden Village, it sounds like a good idea, it would be good to go there and learn more.

That's right... besides, we just agreed to the Sandaime Hokage's request, so it's a bit outrageous to go back so soon.

Seeing Naruto strolling forward casually as if he was in a good mood, Itachi and Shisui looked at each other, as if they were connected with each other, and tacitly decided on their future plans.Then he sang and complained in an annoyed tone, deliberately raising his tone a little in order for Naruto to hear clearly.While the boulder hanging in their hearts temporarily landed safely on the ground, Itachi and Shisui took steps at the same time, following closely behind Naruto.

Oh...are you sure?You should think twice about this decision~

After hearing the footsteps and complaints coming from behind, Naruto, who was desperate to catch, knew that two big fish had been hooked.Then he turned around while trying not to laugh, and looked at the two of them in a serious manner, spreading his hands, and continued speaking seriously and seriously, word by word, like a provocation.

What I am going to do this time may not necessarily be a peaceful sightseeing trip... Moreover, because I originally planned to go on the road alone, I didn't have time to prepare supplies for the two of you.

Ah, I thought it was a big deal... Don't worry, we were mentally prepared to be out for a long time when we accepted the commission from the Sandaime Hokage.We have brought all the medical supplies, food and water, military food pills, and camping equipment, so don’t worry.

Naruto's question naturally had no difficulty for Itachi and Shisui who were well prepared in advance.At the same time, as if to regain his dignity as an elder, Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up and down Naruto's backpack that looked shriveled and didn't contain much, while crossing his arms with a smile on his face. He started teasing and joking.

It's you yourself, Naruto...Looking at you, let alone the camping equipment, you are probably in a hurry, only taking one day's rations with you, are you planning to leave the village?Well, instead of worrying about us, why not worry about yourself... After all, no matter how fast you move.Starting from the village and arriving at Sunagakure Village, it would take several days at best.With this little preparation, I'm afraid you won't be able to go far and you'll have to go back home.

oh?Yeah?It sounds like you are really well prepared... So you have made up your mind to follow me to Sunagakure Village?

However, to Itachi's surprise, Naruto not only showed no troubled expression after hearing his answer.On the contrary, the smile on the corner of his mouth not only grew stronger, but even the way Naruto looked at him made Itachi involuntarily feel that something was wrong.My mind was vaguely filled with a thick layer of regret and ominous premonition for the words I blurted out earlier in response.

Well, I have kindly reminded you anyway... Don't worry, I have my own way to solve my own supply problem... However, if you feel regretful when you are halfway there, you can Don't blame me for not warning you~

A sinister tone, an extremely evil smile...

According to past lessons, if Itachi guessed correctly...Naruto, that brat, must have dug another hole, waiting for him and Shisui to jump down.

...Well, of course, the mission entrusted by the Sandaime Hokage himself must be completed well.

It's a pity that Rao instinctively noticed something was wrong.But no matter how much Itachi racked his brains and thought about it, he could never think of another way to trick them with Naruto's prank when all the supplies were prepared by himself.He couldn't help but feel doubtful and reassure himself, while stiffening his neck and nodding forcefully.

Let's go, what are you waiting for?The distance between the village and Sunagakure Village is quite long... and we have to cross a desert on the way, so there is no place to buy supplies.If you don't rush there as soon as possible, you will definitely not be able to get the supplies you have no matter how frugally you spend.

Hehe, of course I know this... Well, since you have already decided, I won't stop you. I can only say that you are asking for blessings~

While trying to suppress his laughter, after hearing Itachi's response, Naruto knew that most of his prank had been successful.There was a hint of planning in his eyes that was undisguised, and Itachi, who was always watching Naruto's every move, felt as if he was facing an enemy. Sweat started to form on his forehead, and at the same time, he unconsciously became more and more suspicious. Starting from the beginning, whether the decision you made is correct.

So, let's go.

……

Although Naruto was dealing with them back and forth, the situation that made the village senior officials wary and deliberately suppress the Uchiha clan is gradually fading with the passage of time, making the Uchiha clan's status in the village steadily rising. , life has been much better.However, the reason why all members of the Uchiha clan are not yet fully prepared is to move from the edge of the village back to the original territory of the Uchiha clan, which was originally located in the core area.As a result, the Uchiha clan still lives in the most remote corner of the village, so that Naruto still has to walk a long way from the Uchiha clan's territory to the only gate that must be passed to leave the village.In addition, the interlude that Itachi and Shisui joined in the middle delayed some time. By the time Naruto submitted the procedures for leaving the village to the Konoha guards guarding the gate, he stepped out of Konoha Ninja for the first time since traveling to this world. When we reached the village area, it was already sunrise.

At the same time, as the season gradually approaches midsummer, the temperature begins to gradually rise.Facing the scorching sun, even though Naruto, who was traveling lightly, felt the slightest bit of mouth-drying heat.What's more, Shisui and Itachi, who are both young and immature, are carrying full luggage?

Because of this, not long after leaving the village, the gap between the three people became more and more obvious.

After walking all the way, I still had the leisure to hum a tune leisurely and look around curiously at the new and strange sights I had never seen before, as if I was really planning to go on a soul-cleansing hiking trip. Naruto.The bulging luggage not only added a lot of burden to Shisui and Itachi, but also because of the waterproof and breathable material, Shisui and Itachi's backs, which were carrying them, were already completely soaked with sweat.As a last resort, I had to activate my chakra to keep the body temperature as constant as possible, so that I could feel the slightest coolness while using it to support myself and reduce the heavy burden brought by my luggage.But because of this, the two Uchiha boys, who were born with a naturally low amount of chakra, gradually felt a sense of difficulty.

And all of this is within Naruto's plan... Perception spreads quietly around, observing silently.Naruto never said anything, nor did he divide his chakra between the two of them, as he did to Hinata during the freshman entrance exam, to reduce the consumption problem of the two.

First of all, it was because Naruto planned to take advantage of the best opportunity to strengthen the body when the two of them were exhausted, just like he did with the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly trio, and follow the same pattern to complete the recovery and strengthening of the body for the two of them.

Secondly, it’s because…

This is in the original manga, Shunshen Shisui, who is known as Konoha's strongest genjutsu ninja and can intimidate Xiao Xiao at the age of 13, and Itachi God who will easily defeat Orochimaru in the future, force Kabuto to reincarnate in the earth, and turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop!To be able to see them in front of their families, showing how frustrated they are and how hard they are to endure it, is quite rare and a valuable experience that will last a lifetime~

And in the impression, Itachi and Shisui are both precocious, calm and reliable elders... It's rare for God to open his eyes and send such a perfect opportunity for three people to travel together, so that Naruto can enjoy a tease in an open and honest manner. Before the characters were finalized, the ultimate experience of Itachi and Shisui, who were obviously much more childish and cute... For Naruto, it can be said to be a double experience, double happiness...

So much so that Naruto, who was originally worried about whether the journey to the destination would be too monotonous...how could he easily let go of these two little cuties who were still kept in the dark~
