Naruto: Changing Fate

Ha ha!Isn't it great to learn shadow clones at a young age?I never thought that your child's strength would be so amazing.

After seeing the small figure of Naruto lying on the table with tears in his eyes, Uncle Ichiraku's eyes became more smiley. He first took a dry and fresh towel and carefully wiped the dirt on his hands.Then he stretched out his hand across the counter, covering Naruto's little head and rubbing it gently to comfort him.After a pause, while the smile on his face remained unchanged, his tone seemed to have changed. He began to continue speaking seriously and seriously while looking at Naruto's helpless and aggrieved eyes.

However, little guy... As someone who has been through this, I have to give you a piece of advice... Of course, it is up to you to decide whether to listen or not.

……ha?advice?

The serious tone of Uncle Ichiraku's words that he heard in his ears made Naruto cheer up slightly.As he swallowed his saliva, he had an inexplicable thought in his heart, as if the loyal and honest Uncle Yile whom he knew so well before him might not be as simple as he thought.Then he tentatively took over the conversation and asked in a cautious voice.

is... what?

For the sake of your partners, you don’t want them to step into that dirty world, and plan to bear all the dark side alone. It is certainly a commendable good thing... but a person’s energy is not unlimited after all. Too many, so that if the nerves are tense for a long time, it is easy to make mistakes... Just like you were easily tested by me because of a small movement, you are not Naruto's true body.

As he spoke, Uncle Ichiraku seemed to be recalling something. He turned his face slightly and looked at the little figure sitting next to Naruto, holding a ramen bowl and gulping down the delicious soup.After a pause, he focused his gaze on Naruto again and continued speaking softly as if he was pointing something.

Don't force yourself too much, wait until the time is right, or if you really can't hold on anymore.It's better to tell your companions the secret you worked so hard to hide as soon as possible... After all, we work together to advance and retreat and help each other.This is what true partners should shoulder, isn't it?

Uncle Ichiraku spoke with a natural look on his face, and he almost explained everything about Naruto's current behavior.The meaning of the words made Naruto always have a strange intuition that the little secret he tried hard to hide has been easily seen by the people in front of him...

However, compare these.What made Naruto feel even more strange was his inner emotions.

Logically speaking, when the other party's thoughts are completely guessed and revealed, if the normal response plan is used, Naruto should be suspicious at the first moment, wondering whether the person in front of him has an intention.Then, subconsciously, you should immediately increase your vigilance and always be on guard to observe the other party's actions...

Well, that's true...

But for some reason, Uncle Yile's gentle words reached my ears, and when I saw it with my own eyes, it never faded in the slightest, nor did it seem like a fake gentle and doting gaze.As a result, no matter how warned by his reason and how clear his mind, Naruto was still unable to have the slightest thought of alienation and caution towards the person in front of him.So driven by instinct, when he pursed his lips and spoke out in response, there was not even the slightest hint of resistance or questioning.On the contrary, it was as if he was facing a trustworthy elder. He took off all the guarding in his mind. Feeling relaxed and at ease, he smiled and nodded every word in response.

Don't worry, Uncle Yile, I didn't plan to take it all on my own... After all, I'm just a person who keeps making mistakes, and I'm not an omnipotent god.

Yeah?From what you said, I must have a pretty complete action plan... That's right, after all, your father is the Fourth Hokage.The tiger father has no dogs, but I am a little worried about the uncle.

After seeing Naruto's confident and relaxed look, Uncle Ichiraku didn't say much more.Then he said something surprising again, took back the bowl of special small ramen from in front of Naruto, and put it back on the counter to cook.

So, as an apology... let me help you restore the ramen to its normal size.

He actually even knows the identity of my father clearly... Should I say that he really deserves to be Uncle Yile?

Fortunately, perhaps because Uncle Ichiraku had given him enough surprises in a short period of time, Naruto had gradually developed an immune resistance to this unexpected situation that would occasionally come up with shocking surprises.Then while murmuring in a low voice, he stood up and sat upright with his head in his hands, returning to his usual carefree appearance.While smiling and smiling, he continued speaking casually, as if he said it casually.

After all, if I remember correctly, this is a secret truth that has been strictly prohibited and tightly sealed by the top management of Konoha... Uncle, you are really not an ordinary person.

Haha, you little naughty guy is quite good at talking sometimes... However, no matter how glib you try to flatter a little person like me, it won't do any good~

After hearing Naruto's joking words, Uncle Ichiraku looked like he didn't appreciate it, but when he brought the ramen to Naruto again, it was obviously richer than the previous or even normal version of the tonkotsu BBQ pork ramen. Much more tempting.After a pause, he looked at Naruto with a smile as he took the bowl and chopsticks again and began to enjoy the delicious ramen.While spreading his hands slightly, he continued talking without caring.

After all, I am just a little chef who has met many big people.Even your parents were regular customers of my store... Because of this, even to this day, I always feel puzzled - you obviously look so much like your father.Why is it that after so many years, there are still few people in the village who can identify your parents?

Who knows... Maybe he was misled by the first impression of 'the reincarnation of a demon fox monster', and he never looked at me squarely.

During the conversation with Uncle Ichiraku, Naruto gradually relaxed his mind and gradually lost the childlike disguise he had worked so hard to maintain on the outside.Then he slurped and ate happily, and when asked by people who didn't understand his words, he responded with a vague shrug.

However, thanks to this, I have been able to grow up peacefully to this day.Otherwise, based on my father's golden reputation, if the enemy knew that there was still my son left in the world... they would probably try their best to assassinate me with the idea of ​​repaying my father's debt. To achieve the purpose of revenge on my father.Thinking about it this way, being ignored and ostracized since childhood is actually a good thing.

Oh, you little guy is quite open-minded, no wonder you are so happy all day long...

Humph, there's nothing I can do. If I didn't be optimistic and try to think on the bright side, I would have had a nervous breakdown and completely lost control!

That's right... Well, in order to cheer you up, let's treat today's ramen as uncle and I'm treating you to it for free.

well?Really?Yahoo——!What a blessing...

Bang!

Do not make jokes!Do you think I will believe your lies?

And just when Naruto and Uncle Ichiraku were talking to each other, they were having a great time talking.Accompanied by a harsh collision, a questioning roar instantly enveloped the entire store, completely breaking the warm and comfortable atmosphere in the store.Driven by subconscious curiosity, everyone involuntarily followed the sound and looked sideways, wanting to find out.

It was also at this time, after witnessing it with his own eyes, that Naruto realized belatedly that the uncle and nephew, who had been getting along harmoniously and warmly, had become tense again at some point.

Father, did he die voluntarily?Hinata Hinashi, stop joking!

In front of the knocked down seat, Neji stood with eyes wide open, his hands tightly clasped, as if he was trying to control the anger in his heart, causing his small body to tremble violently from time to time.Then after a brief pause in his words, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, he raised his hand and slammed it on the counter, making a heavy sound.While squinting his eyes slightly, his eyes returned to the original hatred and hatred from the hesitation that gradually melted due to disbelief when he was held by Rizu.Then he snorted coldly and sneered and mocked word by word.

Huh, even a kid like me knows how precious life is, so how could my father be willing to die for you... It was clearly you who threatened your father with the caged bird seal and forced him to die for you!

Calm down, Neji...

Compared to Neji's furious look, there was clearly some unexpected surprise on Hizu's face at this moment.After a pause, perhaps it was because he rarely cared about Neji in daily life, which led to him being regarded as a derelict elder and feeling guilty for his late brother.As a result, when Hizu faced Ningji's aggressive and taunting look, which even called him by his first name, not only did he not show any anger or dissatisfaction.On the contrary, with a bitter look on his face, he leaned forward slightly and helped Neji slowly lift up the seat that had fallen on the ground.While pursing his lips and murmuring, he continued in a soothing and gentle voice.

I know it's really hard to accept that I told you this suddenly... But I didn't lie to you. This is the truth of what happened that day. I'm just telling the truth...

Ha... Hinata Hinashi!Do you really think that since I am just a child, I can deceive, mislead, and be at your mercy?Stop dreaming!

It's a pity that Ningji, who is out of control at this moment, obviously will not accept half of Nizu's kindness anymore.Then he sneered disdainfully, because he was so angry that he had no etiquette at all and interrupted Rizu's words by naming them at all costs.

It's a shame you can say this lame excuse...Don't say it's to deceive me, even a three-year-old child will never believe your nonsense!

After saying these words in a cold voice, Neji did not sit down again after Hizu lifted up the seat and talked calmly with him.Instead, he turned around without hesitation and lifted the curtain. Under the puzzled gazes of the customers waiting in line outside the store, his whole body exuded almost substantive anger and hatred, and he didn't even look at his head. He walked back to the ground and walked away quickly.

Neji?Neji!Wait, Ning...!

After telling the truth before his eyes, not only did the situation not develop in the direction he wanted, but it actually backfired, completely irritating Neji.Rizu, who had never thought about how to comfort the child, was suddenly at a loss what to do.So much so that when he shouted subconsciously, he planned to get up and chase the person.

Forget it, Uncle Rizu, let’s stop here for today…

However, before Hizu could put his thoughts into action, Naruto, who had stood up and sat next to Hizu at some point, stretched out his hand, interrupting Hizu's thoughts and actions.While Hiashi paused for a moment, he was filled with anxiety and retorted slightly incoherently: But Naruto, if you don't catch up, the child's misunderstanding of me... and the clan will only deepen. Yes!

Suddenly, I heard the truth that was completely opposite to what I had known for so long... In this case, no matter who it was, they would think it was a lame lie, and then think that their intelligence had been insulted and they could not Choose to be recognized.

As he spoke, Naruto turned his head slightly and looked at Ningji's figure who quickly moved away until he disappeared among the crowd. He frowned in thought and slowly shook his head, denying Hiashi's statement.

Rather than chasing after him at this time and making the conflict worse... it would be better to leave him alone for a while.It's not too late to wait until you calm down and then slowly persuade.

After all, from Hizu's words, Naruto could more or less guess what the two had gone through before this abnormal change occurred.

When Naruto thought about it, he was enveloped in the long-lost warm atmosphere created previously.Rizu probably wanted to strike while the iron was hot and eliminate the misunderstanding between uncle and nephew in one fell swoop.So much so that without thinking carefully, he directly told Neji the truth that Hizashi volunteered to die in Hizashi's place.

However, Hizashi forgot one very important thing... If Hizashi had just passed away, he would have informed Neji of this moment.Perhaps Neji, who was immersed in the pain of losing his father but had not yet accumulated much hatred for Hizu, would choose to believe in Nizu as a matter of course.After all, no matter how deep the conflict between the branch family and the clan is, the fact that Rizu is his father's biological brother and his biological uncle is always a blood relationship that cannot be erased.

But after more than a year of preparation, Ningci seems to have no major problems in his daily life, and he has even completely recovered from the pain of losing his father.But deep down in his heart, because there was no one to enlighten, understand, or comfort him, he was affected by the increasingly obvious contradiction between the separation of the Hyuga clan and the clan.As a result, in addition to hating the Kumo Hidden Village that took his father's life, Neji became more and more resentful as the relationship between uncle and nephew gradually weakened. In his opinion, because of his father's death, he was able to continue to live in the world. foot.

In other words, for Rizu, who has never taken good care of his children, everything he has done so far can be regarded as an extraordinary performance to the best of his ability... It is a pity that the current problem does not exist. It's not because of Hizu's attitude towards Neji at the moment.It's not that Hizu shouldn't tell Neji the truth.

The fundamental reason why the uncle-nephew relationship deteriorated again was simply because when Hizu told Neji the truth, he had already missed the best opportunity.So much so that even though everything Hizu said was true, in front of Neji who was blinded by hatred, he would be stubbornly regarded as a lie made up by Hizu.

In other words, there is only one reason why the outcome of this meeting, when the future was bright, suddenly ushered in a total collapse of all previous efforts, and that is...

This is all the fault of the time!
