Naruto: Changing Fate

Just as Maki ordered his ninjas to stick to their posts, he was preparing to go to the village and report the arrival of Naruto and his party to the Yondaime Kazekage.Naruto and his party, who had entered Sunagakure Village first before, finally managed to enter Sunagakure Village before the end of the access time for entering and exiting Sunagakure Village, and successfully entered Sunagakure Village as they wished, avoiding the torturous treatment of sleeping rough in the desert wilderness again. .

But at the same time, compared to entering Sand Hidden Village, I know that tonight I can sleep on a soft bed that I haven't seen for a long time, and I don't have to endure a sleeping bag filled with yellow sand and gravel that is difficult to clean, making my body uncomfortable all night long. , the overall physical and mental relaxation of other people is obviously much better.The smile on Naruto's face not only did not spread and deepen, but quickly converged, and the originally relaxed brows tightened and became tangled again.

Strange... Logically speaking, the Konoha Ninja Village and Sunagakure Village should no longer be hostile... Moreover, because of the long-term trade relationship, even if they don't get along well, they should be neutral to friendly. The relationship is right.But why did I detect the presence of murderous intent in the squad leader just now...

Secretly, he spread his own perception around him to the maximum extent, and in a state of high concentration of mental power, he fed back his own perception results to confirm that his group was out of the observation range of the guard troops led by Ma Ji.Naruto just now began to murmur to himself while slowly gathering his senses back to himself.

There was no tendency to pursue him, and there were no ambushes or traps along the way... Could it be that the strong killing intent and hatred I just sensed from the squad leader was really just my illusion?

As the Jinchūriki of the Nine Lamas, a collection of all kinds of negative emotions in the world, when he gets along with the Nine Lamas day and night and is honest and trusts each other, Naruto's ability to perceive all negative emotions far exceeds the ability of ordinary perceptive ninjas. .So much so that even though the killing intent in Ma Ji's eyes was fleeting, and he immediately used words and actions to cover it up appropriately, it was still keenly detected by Naruto.

Because of this, just like Maki became suspicious of Naruto and his team's purpose of escorting the caravan back to the village because the customs clearance document signed by the Sandaime Hokage personally was far beyond the treatment that could be obtained for a C-level mission.Because after reporting that his group came from the Konoha Ninja Village, he unexpectedly sensed a strong murderous intention in Maki.Let Naruto think about Maki...or whether the harmonious and friendly relationship between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Ninja Village that appears to the world on the surface is really true.

In addition, there was another point that made Naruto more and more confused and puzzled, and that was Marky's change in attitude towards them after he read through and confirmed the authenticity of the customs clearance documents.

Logically speaking, after confirming the identity of Naruto and his party, for the sake of the overall image of the village, it is not impossible to apologize in an official tone... But before, Naruto and Ma When Maki responded to him word by word, the feeling Maki gave to Naruto certainly contained a certain element of deliberate disguise.But at the same time, Naruto noticed that Ma Ji treated him like a distinguished guest, full of cautious humility.

This is obviously full of unspeakable disobedience for the host of Sunagakure Village, who was full of murderous intentions towards Naruto and his group just a moment ago, and who is one of the five largest ninja villages in the world and has an equal status with the Konoha Ninja Village. Sensational.

For a moment, it was as if he was out to kill his father and take away his wife. He looked at us with eyes filled with hatred.After a while, it was like welcoming a distinguished guest from afar, and he was extremely polite and talkative... What exactly is the plan of this Sunagakure Village...

It was precisely because Naruto discovered this strangeness that made him even more elusive that even after confirming that there was indeed no crisis against his group in Sunagakure Village, Naruto raised his head with a frown. Not only did the lines not fade away, but they became increasingly confused and confused.Unable to help but walk forward slowly, he took out the customs clearance document from his backpack and gave it to Ma Ji to check his identity, which triggered a 180-degree change in Ma Ji's attitude.As he slowly read through it and observed it carefully, he pursed his lips slightly and murmured in a low voice.

Is there something wrong with the customs clearance document Grandpa Hiruzen gave me? Isn't it right?It shouldn't be... According to Grandpa Hiruzen, this is made according to the regular process. It is genuine and has been authenticated by the third generation Hokage of Konohagakure Ninja Village. How can there be any problem...

What's wrong?Naruto?What happened?

At the same time, Naruto was walking as if he was possessed, muttering something in his mouth and thinking about it.Itachi, who was walking beside Naruto, also gradually noticed something was wrong with Naruto, and then quietly followed Naruto's unintentionally slowing pace and slowly walked at the end of the team.Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a warm voice, raising his hand to gently touch Naruto's arm, gradually calling Naruto's consciousness back to reality.

Or...did you find something wrong again?

Um?Ah... Itachi-san... To be honest, I actually don't know if this is a danger... Well, let me tell you this, just now, I discovered...

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the intervention of the person next to him. Naruto instinctively closed the clearance document in his hand and at the same time, he followed his voice in the direction of the culprit who had disturbed his thinking.It wasn't until his consciousness gradually awakened and he recognized that the person standing next to him was Itachi that he had shared memories with him that he could completely trust him, that he slowly relaxed.After a slight pause, while handing the customs clearance document in his hand to Itachi, he looked at the others who were drifting away from the corner of his eyes, deliberately lowering the volume to decibels, and explained everything he had been struggling with before, without reservation. Everything was told to Itachi.

So, the reason why you have been silent since entering the village...is because you are struggling with these?

And maybe it's because the authorities are obsessed with seeing clearly, or maybe it's because Itachi deserves the title of genius.As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Itachi gradually organized and summarized the reasons that Naruto was puzzled to understand in one place, and based on this, he made some assumptions.Itachi's heart, which was subconsciously raised because he noticed something strange about Naruto, gradually retracted, and the expression he looked at Naruto became more and more... He wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh?

If I'm not wrong...Naruto, you, like the squad leader, are just thinking too much.

ha?Thinking too much?What does this mean...

Sometimes taking care of things too much can actually make you dizzy, Naruto.Although it is now a time of peace, it is inevitable that some people in Sunagakure Village will still hate Konoha because of the hatred forged during the war... Well, besides that, I also want to ask you a question. ,Naruto.Was the Namikaze Menma called by the Sunagakure Village team leader earlier really you?

Namikaze Menma...?Ah, you said that name?

After hearing that the person in front of him changed the subject and suddenly asked about the false identity he had deliberately used, Naruto raised his hand and scratched the tip of his nose in surprise, raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded in confusion.

Yes, that was indeed the false identity I specifically asked Grandpa Hiruzen to fabricate for me before I set off... What's wrong?I suddenly asked, is there something wrong with my identity?

I'm afraid unfortunately, what makes you so nervous and suspicious really has something to do with this name, Naruto...

Faced with Naruto's increasing curiosity and confusion, Itachi admitted and gave the answer himself. While trying to hold back his laughter, Itachi shook his head slightly to cover up the stunned and dumb look that flashed through his eyes, and opened the bag he took from Naruto. Customs clearance documents.Then he further confirmed from the Hokage's seal and the Sandaime Hokage's autograph that he had confirmed the answer to the last guess in his mind. He then spread his hands and shrugged with a smile, and continued with a gentle and teasing joking.

Before we left the village, there was such a hot news in ANBU.That is about the young upstart who was originally unknown, but single-handedly foiled the kidnapping plot in Kumogakure Village, successfully rescued the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, and successfully advanced to Jonin with this outstanding achievement, Namikaze Noodles Hemp... now it seems that I should have thought of it earlier.This Namikaze Menma and you, Uzumaki Naruto, are the same person.After all, there was once a person with the surname Namikaze in the village, but only the Fourth Hokage.In addition, considering how much you care about that little girl, if you find that something unexpected happened to her, how can you be calm and patiently wait for the result, instead of personally rescuing her?

Advance to become a jounin?I?How come I haven't heard of this at all? !

As the words in Itachi's mouth were revealed word for word, Naruto, who was completely unaware of the rumors, suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief. While raising his fingers tremblingly, he pointed lightly with suspicion. Pointing at himself.

Are you kidding me... I'm less than five years old, how could I be on... Wait a minute...

However, before Naruto could finish the doubtful words that subconsciously rose to his throat, Naruto's mind was filled with the thought that before leaving the village, he asked the Sandaime Hokage for help in making up the name of Namikaze Menma for him. In human time, the Sandaime Hokage's somewhat strange words.

……

Is Namikaze Menma... So, Naruto, what kind of identity do you want?

Hmm... This is up to you, Grandpa Hiruzen, to decide. Anyway, it's just a disguise. As long as you're not a traitor, it doesn't matter.

oh?Whatever... Hehe, okay, okay, old man, I have thought about what kind of background I should arrange for you to better suit the life experience of your hero's son... and it is absolutely true and believable~

……

Itachi-san...I seem to understand what you want to say...

As he spoke, Naruto raised his hand, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. Then he put his forehead on his hands and sighed in deep helplessness, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly and murmured in a warm voice.

Grandpa Hiruzen still hasn't let it go after all... This is trying every possible means to compensate me, and intends to restore me to the hero status I deserve as soon as possible... I have obviously told Grandpa Hiruzen countless times, but I don't care at all. Let’s live up to these false claims...

Itachi's words made Naruto feel like a sharp knife cutting through a tangled knot, and his thoughts suddenly became clear.Taking this as a clue, he followed the clues and found reasonable explanations for the various abnormal phenomena encountered previously.

In Naruto's pre-planned arrangements, he originally thought that the Sandaime Hokage would at most give Namikaze Naruto a chunin title at will.Then, even if he wanted to save trouble, he bypassed those complicated layers of approvals and directly obtained the customs clearance documents personally signed by the third generation Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village.He can also be like the second generation ancestor of the four people in Yunyin Village. When others are suspicious, he can confidently say that he relies on the convenience obtained by his background, and at the same time create a situation for others that he can only rely on connections to go through the back door. The image of the second generation of harmless officials comes.

But if the Sandaime Hokage hadn't deliberately concealed the fact that Naruto acted in the form of Namikaze Menma, single-handedly subdued the four Kumogakure villagers who invaded the village, and gave the credit to Namikaze Menma without any deduction. The numb head... that's a bit intriguing.

A powerful young jonin arrived at Sunagakure Village with a customs clearance document signed by the Third Hokage himself, but it was just to perform an ordinary task of escorting a caravan. No matter how stupid Sunagakure Village was, they should have discovered that Naruto was drunk. Weng Zhi no longer wanted to drink... In such a stark contrast, Naruto deliberately chose C-level tasks in order to keep a low profile, which was neither up nor down. Naturally, it became a stupid act to not have 300 taels of silver here.

In other words, because he wanted to make up for the unfair treatment that Naruto had suffered, the Sandaime Hokage did not help Naruto cover up his identity in Kumogakure as usual when Naruto asked him to forge his identity. The figure that appeared during the invasion of the village by the quartet.Instead, it was openly publicized in the village, thereby portraying Namikaze Menma as a heroic character, trying to make Naruto have the dazzling aura of Konoha hero even outside the village.So much so that because Naruto did not reveal too much about the reason for his departure to the Sandaime Hokage before setting off, this kind act turned into a good intention doing bad things.

Well... there is nothing we can do, it has already attracted the attention of Sunagakure Village, so we can only take one step at a time and see...

With a feeble sigh on his lips, Naruto took back the customs clearance document from Itachi's hand, and carefully put it back into his backpack with great care.The eyes were full of smiles, and there was no hint of blame.

After all, after hearing Itachi's explanation, Naruto's heart naturally pictured the loving and doting smile of the Sandaime Hokage... For such an amiable and respectable old man who always cares about him and always wants to make up for himself, It was too late for Naruto to be happy and satisfied about this, so how could he blame the Sandaime Hokage's kindness for his mistake of failing to explain it to others in advance?

Anyway, as far as the results are concerned, if it can soothe Gaara's injured heart, it will only be good for Sunagakure Village, and there will be no harm.Calculating it this way, you shouldn’t be trying to stop me... Tsk, it’s just a bit painful, since I’ve been following him before

As all the confusion in his heart dissipated, Naruto's usual gentle smile returned to his face.After a slight pause, he quickened his pace and walked quickly towards Shisui and the others who were waiting for him and Itachi. The smile on his lips grew brighter and he continued to talk to Itachi casually.

Let's go, Itachi-san, it's been too long, Shisui-san and the others are already rushing us.

But what Naruto didn't notice was that after he regained his smile, Itachi, who had been staring at him closely, also gradually bent his eyes and smiled as if he was relieved.

Ah, that's right...

While murmuring softly in response, Itachi nodded while thinking in his heart that the image of Naruto that had been overlapping and entangled with Naruto for so many days, the other image of Naruto that had captured Sasuke's eyes, completely changed from Naruto's. separated from the body.And quietly, he restored his previous absolute trust in Naruto.

Be considerate of others and think about problems from other people’s perspectives…

No matter how he thought about it, Naruto who valued his companions so much... would never become that kind of monster.
