Naruto: Changing Fate

Perhaps it is because in the world of Naruto, ninjutsu and ninja are the mainstream of this world, resulting in technology and industry not being very developed and popular. Although people here basically rely on their legs to travel... but that is almost completely maintained. Living in the original dense forest was an eye-opener for Naruto, who was used to seeing modern forests made of steel and concrete in his previous life.So soon after Naruto left the village, his eyes widened as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.Then he looked around and touched there, having a great time playing there.

In comparison, Itachi and Shisui, who were carrying heavy luggage, were not as free and casual as Naruto.Even though there was no shortage of green shade along the way, the rising temperature as the sun went up still made the two of them sweaty and embarrassed.Even the chakra in the body, which is used to maintain a constant temperature in the body and reduce the burden brought by luggage, is almost exhausted due to constant consumption.

Because of this, he is faced with the fact that the chakra in his body is about to be depleted.Not only the taciturn Shisui, but also because Sasuke has been relying more and more on Naruto in recent days, and relatively speaking, he seems to be a bit neglectful of his real brother. As a result, when setting off, he secretly hugged a certain jealous brother who competed with Naruto. He had no choice but to give up before Naruto kept moving forward at a high speed but still looked leisurely and at ease.

Huh... I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, Naruto... Well... Huh, hoh, let's take a break... let's take a rest for a while...

oh?Are you unable to hold on so quickly, Itachi-san?I thought you could last longer~

Hey... you... do you think that everyone... everyone is just like you, like a monster, shamelessly strong...

Breathing heavily and in short gasps, Itachi dropped the heavy backpack on the ground in threes and threes, and collapsed backwards. With the support of the tree trunk behind him, he slowly slid down to sit on the ground regardless of his appearance.After taking this opportunity to calm down his breathing rate slightly, he waved his hand angrily in the smiling gaze cast by Naruto upon hearing the sound.

I really... really don't know where... where did you get such good physical strength... This is not at all what you should be at your age, I say.

Have it?I think this level is pretty good, right?Better than...

Seeing Itachi's thought-provoking panting appearance, Naruto's eyes became more and more smiley, while he tilted his head pretending to be innocent, he subconsciously wanted to pass the blame to Jiraiya who was far away on the other side.After a pause, perhaps because of his conscience, he was worried that the two of them would misunderstand [well... it doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding] Jiraiya's image, so he took back the nickname that came to his lips and changed it.

The special training content arranged by Grandpa Jiraiya is nothing!

ha?The special training arranged by Jiraiya-sama... What have you two little guys experienced in this year...

After hearing Naruto's words, and then thinking about his younger brother, he always vaguely felt like he had grown up a lot since returning from special training.Itachi couldn't help but be curious about the content of the special training personally taught by one of the legendary three ninjas. He subconsciously lifted the hem of his clothes and shook them, trying to give himself a little cool feeling.

Huh, it's so hot... No wonder you asked if you would regret it. You had already thought of this situation after seeing what we prepared. Just wait and see if we are embarrassed, Naruto .

well?Have it?How could it be possible... Well, you must be overthinking, Itachi-san.

Upon hearing that the person in front of him had guessed his true intention, the smile on Naruto's face suddenly froze.Then he turned his head slightly sideways with stiff movements, guiltily looking away from Itachi's dissatisfied eyes in silent protest.After a pause, he just remembered something. He took out the map from his backpack, spread it out and pretended to look at it. He nodded repeatedly and continued with a smile.

Hmm, I see... It seems that we are lucky. There is a small village not far ahead, where we can buy some supplies... Well, I'll put my luggage here, and you guys can stay here to rest and help me. Look at some luggage.I'm going to the village ahead to see if I can help you buy something cool and refreshing.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Itachi and Shisui could react, Naruto, who was eager to escape Itachi's questioning, threw down his luggage.Then, like an arrow leaving the string, it dived into the dense jungle with a clang and disappeared.Only Itachi and Shisui, the pair of miserable friends, were left sitting there in a daze.

As they looked at each other, compared to Itachi who was more familiar with Naruto, it was Shisui who had been silent along the way who spoke up first, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

This guy named Naruto... his physical fitness is really not that good... Although he does carry less luggage than us, but if it were me, I would never be able to maintain such a fast speed like him now. Leave it unchanged.

During the secret observation along the way, it was obvious to all that Naruto had more energy than ordinary people... Although this does not represent a person's full strength, this alone was enough for Shisui to let go of the Uchiha clan. Innate pride, sincere praise.After a pause, he just remembered something and turned back with a strange expression, gradually focusing his eyes on his best friend. Hesitantly, he opened his lips slightly and then closed them quickly.After being silent for a long time, he gritted his teeth and asked softly.

By the way, I remember you told me before that Naruto is a little younger than your brother... If I'm not mistaken, Sasuke seems to be just five years old now, right?Then isn't this Naruto just...

Just as you thought, Shisui...

After hearing his best friend's questions and the reality of the naked fruit that he inadvertently pointed out, even Itachi, who had been praised as a genius by his clan members since he was a child, couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of his title.Then, while the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he raised his hand as if he couldn't bear to look directly, covering his eyes.He opened his mouth slightly hesitantly and continued speaking feebly.

Don't tell me it's you, even I still can't believe it... Except for the appearance that the guy is disguised by the transformation technique... Naruto, he is still a little guy under five years old this year... …

Even though he was mentally prepared in advance, after hearing the affirmative answer from his best friend, Zhisui was dumbfounded and froze on the spot, and there were even more creaking sounds in his heart...

Those were the three views and cognitions that Shisui had built up since he was a child. They were shattered into pieces by this cold reality, causing him to cry and wail...

...Less than five years old... Ha, haha... It turns out that my physical fitness is not even comparable to that of a five-year-old child...

...It's okay, Shisui... When I first learned about these things, I had the same reaction as you... But now I know that as long as we keep an open mind, it will be fine, after all...

After seeing Shisui's trance-like state in which his three senses collapsed and could not be accepted after learning the truth, Itachi, who had a deep understanding of the same disease, felt sympathy for him. He spent a long time with Naruto and read Naruto's memories several times. Under the circumstances, Itachi's expression became increasingly weird as he was subtly changed.After a pause, he raised his hand and patted Shisui's shoulder soothingly. At the same time, prompted by an unknown impulse in his heart, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued with a fake sigh.

Don't forget, the original leader of the Root Organization, Danzo, was also killed by Naruto...

Huh, that's right, thank you...

After hearing his best friend's comforting words and seeing his sympathetic look, the desolation in Shisui's heart immediately subsided a lot.After pausing for a while, he comforted himself with the thought of a mountain high, and raised his head, subconsciously preparing to say thank you to Itachi.But after hearing the second half of Itachi's words, not only were the words stuck in his throat, but his whole body was completely petrified and frozen in place!

...No...no...I won't let you play like this, Itachi...

...Pfft...Pfft hahaha!It turns out that Pi Yi is so happy, no wonder Naruto always likes to do some mischief... Uh, ahem, I mean...

After facing his best friend's aggrieved look as if he had experienced the ups and downs of life, Itachi seemed to understand the reason why Naruto always liked to play his cards out of the box.So vaguely, as if a door to a new world had opened, and I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly, evoking a playful smile.It wasn't until he saw Shisui's increasingly threatening eyes that he stopped smiling in embarrassment.And quickly changed his words to make amends.

Sorry, sorry, I just remembered it and just said it casually...

uh-huh?Yeah?suspicious……

While speaking, for some reason, Shisui suddenly began to feel that his familiar friend in front of him was slowly starting to become dangerous.As a result, he raised his eyebrows in doubt and responded with his eyes slightly narrowed, staring directly at Itachi's face like a sharp blade.

I always feel that what you just said... seems to be intentional?

Uh...haha, of course, I...how could I do it on purpose~ We have been together for so long, do you think I would be the kind of person who deliberately plays tricks on you?

Facing the questioning look from his best friend, Itachi, who was feeling guilty, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.While stammering in embarrassment, he kept rolling his eyes in order to get out of his current embarrassing predicament.Immediately after unexpectedly seeing Naruto's figure returning, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and changed the topic naturally.

Look, Naruto's movements are really fast. In just such a short time, he was already back.

is back?Don't be ridiculous, even if you want to find an excuse to change the subject, you can't find a more reasonable one...

After hearing what Itachi said clearly to change the subject, Shisui, who had just been inadvertently hit by Itachi, naturally would not choose to believe it subconsciously.To the point of scoffing, he hummed and retorted without hesitation, while turning his head back meaningfully and looking forward along Itachi's gaze.

Unless the village Naruto mentioned was not far ahead, how could it be possible so quickly...

It's a pity that just like what Itachi told the truth when he lasted a last hit... this time, as an honest person [well... for now], Itachi still told the truth.

Because, just at the moment when Zhisui turned his eyes sideways and looked behind him.What caught his eye was the figure of Naruto, who was standing slightly awkwardly holding two small bowls.As a result, when Shisui couldn't help but turn to stone again, a loud slap on the face could be heard vaguely in his ears.

Just...just...just come back?So fast!

Uh...hi?It seems...I seem...to have come back at the wrong time?

It's completely unclear what happened when he left for such a short time.Naruto was immediately at a loss after seeing Shisui's deeply shocked look.Secretly thinking about whether he had undergone Shisui treatment somewhere else, or whether he had been tortured by high temperature for a long time, which caused him to suffer from heatstroke and his nerves began to go a little crazy. At the same time, he tentatively moved closer and took the two extra small bowls in his hands. They were handed to Shisui and Itachi respectively.

Well, I was lucky. Someone in the village in front happened to make iced red bean paste, and it was already iced... While the coolness is still there, eat it quickly to relieve the heat and cool yourself down.

Um?Oh oh, okay...

Under the repeated blows, Shisui was like Itachi who had just come into contact with Naruto, and his entire consciousness began to become a little trance-like.Immediately, not knowing whether he heard Naruto's words clearly, he responded subconsciously and took a small bowl filled with ice red bean paste from Naruto's hand.After a pause, with the help of a small spoon in the bowl, I scooped up a spoonful and put it directly into my mouth.

……Well--!So sweet and ice-cold!Ha ha!This bowl of iced red bean paste tastes amazing!It's a rare treat to be able to eat this on a hot day... Hehe, Itachi!Try it quickly!This taste... is almost exactly the same as the iced red bean paste made by your mother!

ah?Does it taste exactly like the iced red bean paste made by your mother?How can this be……

Seeing Shisui cheer up instantly, his contented expression as he immersed himself in a delicious meal, and his continuous admiration, he realized that the taste of the red bean paste he bought could be compared with the craftsmanship of his mother Mikoto, and he couldn't help but feel... Following the same example, he tentatively scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth, muttering vaguely.

……Well--!real!This bowl of red bean paste tastes exactly like the iced red bean paste made by my mother, no matter how cold it is or how sweet it is!

But soon, Itachi's lingering doubts were completely eliminated by the sweet taste that spread in his mouth.He exclaimed in disbelief. Even though he was already exhausted from walking for a long time, he just immersed himself in eating like Shisui.As he squinted his eyes and tasted the wonderful taste blooming on his tongue, he began to murmur in his heart.

But... but how is this possible... the red bean paste bought on the roadside has the same taste as the red bean paste made by my mother... Isn't this too much of a coincidence?Could it be...that Naruto has carried this with him from the beginning?That's not right...not to mention that when Naruto just left to buy red bean paste, he didn't bring any luggage with him at all.Even if Naruto carried it with him from the beginning, after such a long time, it has gradually warmed up, and it is impossible to maintain such a cold taste... By the way, there is a village ahead?I walked along this road several times when I was on a mission. Why didn't I know what other villages were ahead...

While Itachi was enjoying the cool, refreshing, sweet and delicious taste of the iced red bean paste, he secretly doubted the origin of the iced red bean paste in his hand.Naruto, who seemed to be standing with an innocent face, was already holding his stomach and laughing in his heart.

The reason why the iced red bean paste given to Shisui and Itachi has the same taste as the iced red bean paste cooked by Mikoto is actually very simple...

Because this is indeed the iced red bean paste made by Mikoto herself!

After all, Naruto seemed to leave quickly before, heading to a nearby village to buy items to relieve the heat. In fact, after using the bush to isolate the two people from sight, he casually left a trace of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu on the side of the road for positioning. Teleporting the mark, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.Quietly, he moved to Fugaku's mansion instantly.After feasting on some iced desserts, they teleported back again with these two portions of iced red bean paste. This was the scene that left Itachi and Shisui puzzled.

And this was the important reason why Naruto dared to go on a casual trip after packing some items casually.

Possessing the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, for Naruto, who is a modern otaku at heart, is almost equivalent to possessing the classic prop of a certain Fatty Blue crew next door - the arbitrary door.So quietly, Naruto can go on the road peacefully during the day, and just make a mark when he rests at night, then he can go home and sleep comfortably, recuperate enough, and then teleport back so that he can be there the next day. Feel refreshed and continue on your way.In addition, with the Flying Thunder God technique improving again, Naruto has been able to try to transfer others with him.

In other words... the preparations that Itachi and Shisui had worked so hard to make were, in a sense... completely unnecessary.And this was the fundamental reason why Naruto warned the two not to regret before setting off.

However, facing Itachi and Shisui who were devouring ice-cold red bean paste in front of him, Naruto, who had an extremely strong desire to survive, decisively chose to hide the truth.

After all, if they knew that everything they had worked so hard to endure could actually be thrown away from the beginning...

Well, Shisui and Itachi, who were so angry, would probably join forces immediately and eat Naruto alive to vent their anger.
