Naruto: Changing Fate

At this time, two days had passed since the meeting between Hizu and Neji.Naruto and his party had already left Sunagakure Village and embarked on the journey back to Konoha.

However, compared with the original plan, before departure, although Naruto had already determined the time to leave Sand Hidden Village, a small accident inevitably occurred - that is, Naruto doted on the children too much, resulting in The departure time was postponed by one day compared to the original plan.

Before leaving, due to the reluctance of the red panda who came after hearing the news, Naruto did not have the courage to refuse due to the coquettish pleading of the red panda, and stayed in Sand Hidden Village for one more day.Until he found out that Naruto had suddenly changed his mind for no apparent reason, and he became worried again, he almost came to the door with a dark face to say hello. The Yondaime Kazekage couldn't restrain his confusion, and once again sent Yashamaru, who had already been in contact with Naruto. When he asked [Urge], Naruto had just calmed down the red panda.He also agreed with the red panda that he would wait for him to come and play with him in Konoha Village in the future. Only then did the group's trip to Sunagakure Village finally come to an end, and they finally set foot on the road back to the village.

However, this delayed day was not completely wasted.

First of all, using the extra day, Naruto secretly used multiple shadow clones to increase the manpower for operations, so that he could more fully understand the whole situation of Sunagakure Village.Furthermore, during the process of walking around and observing, at every traffic artery in Sunagakure Village, one could always find a teleportation mark of the Flying Thunder God's Technique that Naruto had quietly left behind in the nearby blind spots of the visual angle that could easily be ignored.Even when Naruto accepted Gaara's invitation, took the initiative to run to Gaara's house, and played with Gaara all day long, he did not forget to visit Gaara's house - that is, the fourth generation Kazekage. In Sand's residence, a teleportation mark of the Flying Thunder God's Technique was left.

Although doing this was undoubtedly deceiving and taking advantage of the innocent red panda with good intentions, Naruto did this just in case.

After all, on top of Gaara's old tailed beast seal, Naruto placed an additional four-image seal just like an extra safety lock.He also followed his parents' example and poured chakra into it, so as to activate the seal's effectiveness and allow the seal to communicate with his own soul.So much so that no matter how far apart they were, even thousands of miles away, Naruto would be able to instantly detect any slightest movement in Shukaku.

In other words, once Shukaku breaks through the first seal and begins to try to break through the four elephant seals, Naruto can use the Flying Thunder God's Technique Teleportation Marks that have been spread all over Sunagakure Village as a medium to teleport directly to Within Sand Hidden Village.After arriving, with the help of the connection between the four-image seal and itself, it can determine the general direction of the red panda, carry out a second teleportation to quickly approach, and promptly provide the red panda with the external help and spiritual comfort it needs.

Of course, theoretically speaking, if Naruto directly leaves a teleportation mark on the red panda, then Naruto, who has mastered the Flying Thunder God technique to some extent, can accurately teleport directly to the red panda. Next to the red panda.It eliminates the trouble of repositioning, not to mention it is more trouble-free, and there is no need to take such troublesome actions as leaving teleportation marks on the entire Sunagakure Village just in case.

However, although the idea is good, it must be possible to implement...

That's right, the difficulty for Naruto to add the teleportation mark of the Flying Thunder God's Technique on others is as easy as a finger lift.And after perfecting it with the help of his mother's experience in sealing, he was able to quickly fade the mark pattern into nothingness, so that judging by the naked eye alone, it is absolutely impossible to find the mark of the Flying Thunder God... But even so, if faced with a detailed and comprehensive test. During inspection and diagnosis, foreign objects exerted by external forces will naturally be easily detected.It was precisely because of this that Naruto, after carefully considering the pros and cons, chose the more conservative plan of setting up teleportation points throughout Sunagakure Village, and gave up the lazy idea of ​​directly placing a mark on Gaara.

After all, although Gaara is disliked everywhere in Sunagakure Village, no matter what, he is the same Tailed Beast Jinchūriki as Naruto, and is one of the village's ultimate combat cards.In addition, Gaara's father, Rasa, is an indifferent Kazekage who talks about Gaara's worth all the time, so much so that he treats his own son as a monster weapon.

In this case, if no one conducts detailed checks on Gaara's physical condition on a regular basis, and then uses this as a basis to judge whether Gaara can continue to serve as a Jinchuuriki...Naruto would probably choose to believe it. The possibility that Uncle Ichiraku's real surname is Otsutsuki must be many times higher than this.

In addition, the extra buffer time brought another convenience to Naruto that was worth it - the recovery of Xianglin's mother's physical condition.

Although after leaving the Grass Ninja Village, Naruto regularly injected his own chakra into Xianglin's mother, and then relied on the chakra from the same ancestor to stimulate Xianglin's mother's body to rejuvenate.But in the final analysis, Naruto only took advantage of the Uzumaki clan blood flowing in his body, which gave chakra a certain degree of natural healing ability.And under intentional control, this characteristic can be fully brought out as much as possible.

To put it simply, even though Naruto was able to combine the blood characteristics of the Uzumaki clan with the tailed beast chakra mixed with the Nine Lamas' chakra, even though he had never formally learned medical ninjutsu and relied entirely on his own experiments and explorations. After the healing ability, it was fully displayed at an extraordinary level of 120%.To a certain extent, you can use yourself as an external aid to help others improve their physical fitness and condition.However, this alternative approach that was explored alone is always in an immature and imperfect state of testing.So much so that if we put aside the special ability to reactivate his vitality, and just talk about the healing and recovery effect on the body, today's Naruto is obviously still not as good as the orthodox and highly skilled medical ninja.

And this is also the reason why there are still some hidden dangers in Xianglin's mother's improving body even after Naruto spared no effort in treating her for so many days.

However, accepting Naruto's healing and recovery was not only to allow Xianglin's mother to replenish the lost vitality as soon as possible.It was also because along the way, in order to avoid the pursuit and search of the Grass Ninja Village, he was in the middle of nowhere and failed to meet any more skilled medical ninjas, so he adopted the emergency treatment plan.Now that we have arrived in Sunagakure Village, as one of the five great ninja villages, its medical capabilities must not be much different.Given the choice, it was natural for Xianglin's mother to receive better treatment.

Because of this, on the day when Naruto came into contact with Gaara just after arriving in Sunagakure Village, he had already deliberately arranged for Xiang Rin's mother to go to the hospital in Sunagakure Village for treatment, plus the extra day now. Buffer time.After two days of sufficient treatment time, Xianglin's mother's body, which had already been fully recovered by Naruto's treatment, was obviously enough to return to the best state without any hidden dangers.

As the saying goes, how much water a barrel can hold depends on its shortest board...

The complete recovery of Xianglin's mother's health brought about the benefit that when Naruto and his party returned to the village, they no longer had to worry about Xianglin's mother's health as they did when they arrived, and deliberately slowed down their travel speed. .In addition, when he left Sunagakure Village, Naruto had already exchanged memories with the shadow clone who stayed in Konoha Village. Through the report of the members of the Root Organization who were sent out to collect information in advance, he knew that Kusanagi Village had already formed a rift with Kumo Hidden Village. An unexpected surprise.This allowed Naruto and his team to return to the village without having to worry about Xianglin's mother being physically unable to bear it, so they deliberately controlled their own speed.Secondly, because the Kumo Ninja Village was busy arguing with the Kumogakure Village, Naruto didn't have to worry about being called upon by the Kumo Ninja Village and getting into trouble.In addition, when he returned to the village, there were no other villages that Naruto deliberately wanted to visit.So that Naruto didn't have to give up the shortest route and choose a detour like he did when he came.

Because of this, the combination of large and small changes made the departure time of Naruto and his team a whole day later than originally planned.But after setting off, according to Naruto's teleportation mark induction between himself and Konoha Village, he always located the distance between himself and his group from the village, and based on this, he calculated the approximate traveling speed of the group.But it was several times shorter than the week-long time it took to rush from Konoha Village to Sunagakure Village!So as long as they can maintain the current high-speed traveling state at all times, then, if nothing happens, it will only take a whole day, let alone a week, for Naruto and his party to go directly from Sunagakure Village. Return to Konoha Village!

[Note: This is calculated based on the speed of Kai carrying Kakashi back to the village in the TV animation.Although in the animation, Kai's running speed is quite exaggerated.But it didn't take long for Neji and the others to return to the village and complain about Kai and Li. Even the weather didn't change much.If a ninja runs at full speed, it should be enough to return to Konoha Village from Sunagakure Village within a whole day (24 hours). 】

Of course, since Xianglin's mother has just recovered from a serious illness, it is not advisable to exercise strenuously.And during the journey, because Shisui and Itachi's own chakra reserves were scarce, Naruto had to stop from time to time to replenish chakra for the two of them in order to maintain high-speed travel.There is a possibility of starting from Sunagakure Village in the morning and returning to Konoha Village in the afternoon, although that's not to say there's no possibility.However, there was nothing urgent on the way back to the village, and the customs clearance document written by the Sandaime Hokage in his hand opened the way, which was enough for Naruto and his party to enter the village even when the village was closed under curfew, so Naruto did not. Deliberately asking everyone to speed up.With this in mind, if calculated accurately, Naruto and the others would probably have to wait until the bright moon was high in the sky before they could return to the village.

In addition, if Naruto wanted to save trouble and speed, he could rush back to the village as soon as possible.In fact, Shisui and others can be teleported directly back to Konoha Village in batches through the Flying Thunder God Technique. The whole process is estimated to take less than a minute.

But as a result, Naruto has been able to achieve the ability to teleport with others after making contact with them.However, it is only limited to an area as large as a village at most, and has never attempted such a long distance teleportation.So when he didn't have much confidence, Naruto, who was deliberately seeking stability and had nothing urgent to do, would give up directly.

Secondly, if he does this, even if Naruto is [-]% sure of success, he will undoubtedly reveal the secret of his possession of the Flying Thunder God Technique to Shisui and others who do not yet know the truth.Therefore, compared with a long-distance trek that only takes one day and can effectively exercise your physical fitness, it is obviously not worth the gain.

Because of this, faced with these dual concerns, it was naturally clear to Naruto which method he should choose to return to the village.

So, in the end, the problem was still not solved?Then you are busy again in vain.

While Naruto was traveling at high speed, he fell at the end of the team due to distraction, and while his thoughts were racing, he was recalling all the things that happened before setting off.Itachi, who had been walking side by side with Naruto, intentionally or unintentionally, looked around and confirmed that his friends were moving forward wholeheartedly and never looked back.He no longer suppressed the curiosity in his heart and asked Naruto in a low voice.

Ah, this is already the fourth time you have asked me on the road, Itachi-san... This does not include the times you asked me after I just told you in Sunagakure Village.

After hearing the questioning words that came into his ears again as the people around him couldn't help their curiosity, Naruto spread his hands and shrugged in a fit of laughter and tears, but he didn't even try to hide anything with others.Instead, after thinking for a while, he answered as simply and directly as possible.

There is no other way. Being able to maintain the status quo and prevent the relationship between the two of them from deteriorating further can be regarded as a blessing among misfortunes... Moreover, although it failed, the atmosphere from the beginning and the treatment of Uncle Hizu In terms of Neji's method, in a sense, it should be considered a relatively good start.

As early as when Naruto and his party were still in Sunagakure Village, because they were worried that something would happen to the shadow clones, Naruto would take the initiative to release a shadow clone from time to time after returning to the hotel to get Ichiraku Ramen in real time. progress of the meeting.After the incident was over, he casually complained and told the whole incident to Itachi who happened to be back.I plan to use the rich experience of raising children in front of my brother-in-law to discuss with each other and come up with a feasible reconciliation plan.Unexpectedly, Itachi, like Naruto, had been used to taking care of Sasuke since childhood, so he never realized how difficult it was to take care of a child.On the contrary, Itachi's curiosity was deeply aroused when it was unimaginable that there could be such a person who could not take care of children in the world, and he would repeatedly ask Naruto some detailed questions every now and then.

However, being curious, Itachi didn't just join in the fun and do nothing.After all, Itachi's rich parenting experience gained from personal experience was not wasted after all.So with the extra day's buffer time, and with the help of Itachi's suggestions from time to time, Naruto had a plan on how to gradually turn the misunderstanding and hatred between Hizu and Neji into a harmonious and understanding relationship. A rough outline of the idea.However, considering that Hizu and Neji had just met not long ago, and in front of the truth that Hizu suddenly threw out, Neji stubbornly regarded it as a lie and was completely angered.As a result, Naruto was not in a hurry to put this plan into action at this time.

In addition, during the meeting between Hizu and Neji, there was one thing that made Naruto think about it for two days, and the result is still puzzling to this day...

……

Speaking of which, Itachi-san... is there a saying here that 'tiger father has no dog son'?

Tiger father has no dog son?what is that?Never heard of it... What's wrong?Is there anything wrong with this sentence?

No, it's nothing...just to confirm...

……

That was what Naruto accidentally heard during the conversation with Uncle Ichiraku - a tiger father has no dog son.

This sentence was familiar to Naruto.But it was precisely because of this that Naruto felt extremely frightened when he thought carefully about it afterwards and tried to clarify his thoughts and summarize his experience.

Because, this sentence was a widely circulated idiom in Naruto's previous life.But according to Itachi, in this world of Naruto, it should not exist...

If Uncle Yile is really like what he said, he is just a ramen shop owner who is used to seeing big shots...

So, here comes the question...

As an indigenous resident of Naruto's world, why would Uncle Ichiraku know that a tiger father has no dog sons? This idiom was only widely circulated in Naruto's previous life?
