Naruto: Changing Fate

In the boundless yellow sand, Naruto and his group of five people, wrapped in thick cloaks, were struggling to move forward in the desert under the scorching direct sunlight.

If they had followed the original plan, Naruto and his party would have successfully arrived at Sand Hidden Village three days ago... The reason why they spent so much extra time along the way was except for a detour. Outside the Grass Ninja Village, there was another reason for deliberately slowing down in order to take care of Xianglin's mother and daughter.

After all, despite the long-term inhuman abuse in the Grass Ninja Village, Xianglin and his daughter had complete trust in Naruto and his friends who had the grace to save their lives, but after all, they still had deep feelings for others. Be wary and alert.So when Naruto proposed that he would select elite members from the root organization to come together and pick up Xianglin and her daughter to return to the village first, Xianglin and her daughter would rather endure the arduous hike through mountains and rivers and sleep in the open air than to I would like to go to Konoha Ninja Village without anyone around me.After several attempts to persuade them to no avail, Naruto had no choice but to agree to take the two of them on the road and set off together to Sunagakure Village.

Of course, if you agree to allow Xianglin and her daughter to follow, you will definitely need to add supplies for two more people.But firstly, because the mother and daughter of Xianglin had just escaped from the Grass Ninja Village, in order to avoid complications, Naruto and his group chose to avoid the Grass Ninja Village and all the villages surrounding the Grass Ninja Village. Secondly, on the way to the Sunagakure Village , due to the dangerous geographical environment there, there are almost no villages along the way except the destination Sunagakure Village.This forced Naruto to find an excuse to leave temporarily every now and then so that he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to go home and get the supplies he needed directly from the Konoha Ninja Village.

At this time, because Naruto was like the fat blue guy from the crew next door, he would bring back many urgently needed supplies after just leaving for a short period of time, so that Naruto and his team didn't have to worry about getting supplies at all. It also aroused the curiosity and suspicion of fellow travelers.

As for the mother and daughter Xianglin who had just joined the team, they had no chance to go out for excursions because they had lived in the Cao Ninja Village for a long time. As a result, the mother and daughter had no idea about the distribution of the villages outside.In addition, although they were curious about how Naruto could always find a large number of urgently needed supplies, the mother and daughter themselves knew nothing about Naruto's abilities. The mother and daughter were rescued from the Grass Ninja Village by Naruto and his team. Psychologically, I was embarrassed to ask too much about Naruto's secrets.And these supplies are only good and not bad for my group.Naruto just relied on my good luck and found a small village nearby that was not marked on the map.The lame excuse was easily appeased and fooled.

But for Shisui, who clearly understood that Naruto now secretly held the identity of the new leader of the Root Organization, and as he got along with Naruto day by day, he became more and more convinced that Naruto could not be treated as an ordinary child, while he was secretly puzzled. But they were not fooled by Naruto as easily as the mother and daughter.

Firstly, it is because the Sandaime Hokage accepted Naruto's proposal earlier, taking advantage of the fact that Danzo and the elders were focusing on the conflict that was about to break out between the Sandaime Hokage and Danzo, and as a descendant of a hero, However, due to the opportunity of Naruto, who was treated as a humanoid weapon by them as a jinchuriki, Shisui was quietly arranged into the ANBU under his command, and was carefully trained and cultivated secretly.Although Shisui was immature and had not yet fully completed his training, he did not have much experience in leaving the village to perform tasks.But in order to avoid being unable to find the north when he went out on missions in the future, Shisui took the time to read and memorize the contents of the world map during his spare time during his training!

Although the content on the map is too complicated, and there are many courses that need to be learned on a daily basis, Shisui does not have much thought and energy to memorize it deliberately, so Shisui can only remember a few things so far.But at least, Zhisui knew very well in his heart that even if there were one or two small villages that were missed along the way, there shouldn't be so many?Otherwise, this so-called world map will be of no use.

Moreover, when Shisui thought about it, the immature Naruto should be leaving the village for the first time like other children of the same age.Regardless of the map guidance, Naruto may not have a better grasp of the distribution of villages in the outside world than Xianglin and her daughter.In other words, if it was not on the map, it would be impossible for him to successfully find a village that could supply supplies in such a short period of time.

Secondly, because of the large number of supplies required, when Naruto hurriedly replenished them, he did not notice that he had made a fatal little detail - that was the taste of the food.

When he returned home after using the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and finished enjoying the iced drink, Naruto had brought back some iced red bean paste cooked by Mikoto for Itachi and Shisui for convenience.In the same way, using the convenience of the Flying Thunder God Jutsu to collect the necessary supplies several times in a short period of time, Naruto did not even notice that a lot of the food he brought back was made by Mikoto's craftsmanship.So much so that Shisui, who was close friends with Itachi, had long since tasted this common feature.

Just like Naruto said that the source of the supplies was a small village that was not marked on the nearby map... The taste of the food was exactly the same as the delicacies cooked by Mikoto. It happened once or twice. It can be explained by coincidence. past.But if it becomes a common phenomenon, it would be interesting.

Although he didn't know anything about Naruto's cards and life experience, Shisui didn't even think about the Flying Thunder God Technique for a while.But still, from the familiar taste of the food, he vaguely noticed that Naruto had some special ability to quickly travel back and forth between his current location and the village.It was probably only a matter of time before Shisui noticed the tip of the iceberg of Naruto's hidden secrets.

As for Itachi...he was the first person in this team to understand the source of the supplies.

After all, when Naruto was three years old, he took advantage of the opportunity of close contact with Itachi to deliberately relax his guard and allow Itachi's consciousness to invade, allowing Itachi to possess almost all of Naruto's secrets and memories.Naturally, he had already known that Naruto possessed the famous stunt of his father, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, the Flying Thunder God Technique.In this way, why was Naruto always able to find a large amount of supplies in this remote place with no village or shop, which were all urgently needed by the group, and there was no unnecessary waste in terms of types. The reason was not obvious. Is it done?

However, although Itachi knew it well, he did not reveal the truth to his close friends at all...except for the important reason of choosing to respect Naruto's privacy in order to repay Naruto's trust in him.Having all the memories of Naruto when he was three years old, Itachi already knew that the reason why his best friend Shisui was suddenly noticed by the Sandaime Hokage and personally recruited into the ANBU controlled by the Sandaime Hokage was because Naruto faced the Sandaime Hokage face to face. The Hokage recommended Shisui.

In other words, Itachi understood in his heart that just as Naruto trusted himself, Naruto actually trusted Shisui... The reason why he did not reveal his secrets to Shisui as he did to himself, Naruto must He has his own intentions.When the time comes, Naruto will definitely tell Shisui one by one.

Because of this, in Itachi's opinion, it would be rude to reveal it directly to his close friend, thereby disrupting Naruto's plan.It's better to temporarily aggrieve your best friend and let Shisui be a cute little girl who is kept in the dark for the time being.

In addition, if there is any good news during the journey of Naruto and his party, it is the health condition of Xianglin's mother.

During the past few days of traveling, Xiang Rin's mother, whose vitality was originally like a candle in the wind, had become much more rosy due to Naruto's regular and uninterrupted treatment every day.Not only had his vitality been almost completely restored through Naruto's treatment, rich food supplements, and adequate sleep.Even the various hidden diseases in the body caused by the long-term abuse and torture in the Grass Ninja Village have been cured by Naruto.As for the remaining parts, it is only a matter of time before they are completely cured.

In other words, now that we have officially set foot in the desert and headed towards Sand Hidden Village.Xianglin's mother's body has recovered to the same level as a normal person.Even because the Uzumaki clan's inherent huge vitality was reactivated by the chakra of the same ancestor and similar nature between Naruto and Kaoru's mother during Naruto's multiple treatments, they became far healthier than ordinary people. !So much so that even though we are now in a hot desert full of yellow sand, after walking in depth for a long time, I still don't feel red or out of breath, and I am as energetic as a normal person.Coupled with the fact that she was born in the Uzumaki clan and had a certain amount of ninja background, Xianglin's mother held Xianglin and followed closely behind the leader Naruto at a steady pace. Although she was roasted by the scorching heat, In the process of the body's instinctive heat dissipation, it inevitably became covered in sweat, but it still moved forward quickly and vigorously!

Mom, are you okay...

From the beginning to the end, he was held firmly in his mother's arms. Although the young Xianglin was sweating profusely due to the heat, his physical energy was not consumed much.But even so, Xianglin, who had been dependent on her mother since she was a child, saw her mother being heated into a sweat, so she subconsciously opened the lid of the kettle filled with water and put it to her mother's mouth.While feeling distressed and worried about her mother, she pursed her lips and bit her lips, tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes, and asked in a tentative whisper.

Mom has been carrying me for a long time. How about... let me get down and walk the rest of the way today?

Gudu Gudu... Huha... Don't worry, Xianglin, don't worry about your mother.

Even though her mouth was dry due to the high temperature, Xianglin's mother was not too polite to her daughter's kind gesture.Hold the spout of the pot and take a sip, letting the cool water flow through your throat, moisturizing your throat that seems to be smoking.While he chuckled and lowered his head, he gently kissed his baby daughter's soft cheek with the remaining baby fat, and comforted her with a warm and loving voice.

Mom is just a little hot, but she is far from tired. With Mom's excellent body now, even if she carries Xiang Lin and walks all day and night, there won't be any problem.

Really...but...but...

Be good and obedient...Besides, after staying in that village for so long, my mother has not broken out in a hot sweat after taking enough exercise for a long time like now.Therefore, not only is mom not tired now, but she is more and more energetic~ If you don’t believe it, look at Xianglin, mom can walk a little faster.

At the same time, Naruto, who was walking at the front of the team, holding a compass in one hand and a map in the other, checking the direction of the team from time to time, also inadvertently moved Xiang Lin with the help of his keen perception. The conversation between mother and daughter was listened to word for word.Immediately, through intentional exploration of her senses, she confirmed that the breath of life of Xianglin's mother was indeed what she said, and that there was no deterioration or deterioration. After that, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile of satisfaction.

Huh... It seems that after the hidden injuries in the body are healed, there is no need to worry too much about whether my aunt can keep up with the team...

While muttering to himself, he used the shadow clone to act as a coordinate as a reference, and the accurate positioning of the compass in his hand.While allowing Naruto to keep the team moving as straight as possible in this vast desert, he also relied on the accurate markings on the map in his hand to have a rough understanding of the length of the remaining journey, and then nodded slightly to make a decision. Come down.

So, let's speed it up a little bit.Otherwise, according to the current schedule, I am afraid that I will have to spend another night sleeping in the desert tonight, and I will not be able to arrive at Sand Hidden Village until tomorrow morning...

It's not that Naruto and his party would encounter any trouble if they camped in the desert... but in Naruto's opinion, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert changes so much that it would be difficult for ninjas like them who have physiques far beyond ordinary people. It's nothing.But for Xianglin's mother, who is still recovering from her physical injuries, and Xianglin, who is still young, it is best to avoid camping in the desert if possible.

In addition, in view of the perfect timing when rescuing Xianglin's mother, Naruto did not dare to delay it anymore after treating Xianglin's mother's body to every possible extent... After all, God knows, if you delay here for a while longer, you will miss the best opportunity to appease and tame the young Gaara, or even be unable to change Yashamaru's death due to the deviation in arrival time, resulting in Gaara's development being the same as in the original work. , completely turned into a cold-blooded monster?

This is not Naruto's unfounded worry, but the experience gained by his father Minato Namikaze through bloody lessons...

Apart from anything else, if during the battle of Kannabi Bridge, my father could have arrived at Kakashi and the others just a little earlier in the morning... Now, amidst Uchiha Madara's calculations and temptations, he is hiding in the dark and manipulating behind the scenes. Will Madara Uchiha, who is aware of the movements of the Akatsuki organization and quietly brewing a crisis that could subvert the entire ninja world, never appear at all?

Well, after all, as the golden father of Konoha, he always slips up at various critical moments... In order to prevent me, the son, from making the same mistakes as me.There is no time left to waste, but we can’t waste any more...

While muttering to himself and underestimating, the figures of Naruto and his group gradually drifted away after leaving a series of footprints of different shades.It gradually turned into a few small black spots in the desert, and finally disappeared completely into the endless yellow sand.

And the footprints they left quickly disappeared under the cover of the yellow sand rolled up by the heat waves that blew from time to time.After a short time, it was restored to its original state. No matter how carefully you looked, you would never be able to see any traces of someone walking here...
