Naruto: Changing Fate

Orochimaru thinks about it, since he has decided that sooner or later he will personally destroy the increasingly decayed and dilapidated Konoha ninja village... Then, when there is an opportunity, it is an imperative choice to eradicate the combat power of Konoha's top brass as much as possible. .At this moment, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, who is out alone, is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity!

After all, whether it is anti-brainwashing and controlling the new Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki who was tamed by Danzo.Or rely on your confidence in your own strength to directly kill him completely on the spot... It is very likely that the loss of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki belonging to Danzo will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness of the forces under Danzo's insidious villain!

What's more, even if it wasn't for his own sake... after he determined that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was Danzo's trump card against Jiraiya.Orochimaru, who had originally made up his mind to protect this careless idiot in return for his absolute trust like a fool, also had no reason to ignore it!

It's not too early... Let's solve it as soon as possible before that idiot finds out, and go back as soon as possible.Maybe if things go well, we can take the child back with us.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru's consciousness gradually returned to the original body bit by bit from his thoughts.While using the resonance between himself and the special mark placed on Naruto, he quickly confirmed and locked Naruto's location.While murmuring softly, it seemed that he didn't move much, but the next second later, he disappeared from the spot.Like a poisonous snake that has its eyes on its favorite prey, it quickly approached Naruto without any hesitation.

Obviously, when it came to the dilemma of subduing Yakushi Kabuto or helping Jiraiya... Orochimaru almost chose the latter without even thinking about it.

Does this mean that in Orochimaru's eyes... children with potential can be re-identified.But the safety of Jiraiya's life is far more important than all this?

besides……

If Naruto knew, based on the influence of the contents of Danzo's autograph that he had previously searched for and obtained, Orochimaru accidentally saw himself as a powerful enemy who was about to be detrimental to Jiraiya.And after making up his mind, he exuded a cold and murderous intention, and quickly approached himself, trying to personally obliterate his words... As the person behind this series of events, Naruto would probably feel like shooting a stone at himself. The oolong result of my feet was so painful that my intestines were filled with regrets without tears.

……

The words were divided into two parts, just when everyone happened to be in the same place due to various reasons, and gathered towards the tavern where Tsunade and Jiraiya were...

As the central figures in this incident, Jiraiya and Tsunade can be called the heroes and heroines...what are they doing at this moment?

……

In a remote and narrow alley that is rarely visited by people, there is an old izakaya that is hidden by a thick curtain, making it even more inconspicuous.

Ha ha!Come!drink!drink!Alas alas!Don't be shy!Full!This must be filled!

Look at how happy you are, don’t you think you’ve won a lot... Gudu Gudu... Huha... Come on!Keep going!I don't believe you can beat me again!

We brothers haven't seen each other for a while, come on!Today, my brother, I will be the host, and we will not stop until we get drunk!

Yo!Let's see how proud you are... Come on, come on!It's rare for an iron rooster to be willing to pluck its feathers and not kill you, but I feel a little regretful!Hahaha!

Hello!boss!Here’s the appetizer I ordered!Why hasn't it been served yet?

Alas!okay!Here it comes!Don't worry!

However, despite the small size of this izakaya, the exterior decoration and furnishings are also quite old and dirty... But the charming aroma of wine can penetrate the heart and spleen from a long distance, and from time to time through the thick door curtain, There was noisy and lively noise.This is enough to prove how powerful this izakaya is!

After all, even though the area is sparsely populated, it can be considered quite remote and unobtrusive.But the business of this izakaya did not show any signs of being deserted and idle for this reason.On the contrary, in the broad daylight, which is supposed to be working time, in the bustling state of people, the listener can easily imagine a harmonious picture of a prosperous business in his mind... And to think about it... Do all this under such harsh conditions.It would obviously be impossible if it were not accompanied by tempting wine and delicious dishes to go with the wine.

Jiraiya and Tsunade, who had both left earlier, were also part of this noisy environment.

No, no, in this small izakaya, Jiraiya and Tsunade are sitting in a slightly inconspicuous corner, facing each other, drinking happily.

Gudu Gudu...um--!Good wine!

Narrowing his eyes, he raised his head and swallowed in big gulps. The clear wine in Jiraiya's hand was filled to the brim with the fragrant aroma. He estimated that there were at least four taels in the wine bowl, and at a speed visible to the naked eye. Falling rapidly.It didn't take long for it to hit the bottom completely.Then, after the alcohol bug in his belly was slightly satisfied, Jiraiya felt as if the pores in his body were opened, and his whole body was in an indescribable sense of comfort and joy, and he was slightly drunk and emboldened.While lowering his head a little, he stared straight at the proud spring light exposed on Tsunade's chest.While Jiraiya's face turned slightly red, whether due to alcohol or other reasons, he carelessly teased and asked Tsunade, who was also drinking heavily in front of him.

Hehe...uh--!Hmm...hehe, how about it, Tsunade, I didn't lie to you, did I?The drinks here, let alone the entire village, are definitely among the best when compared to the taverns in several villages around here~ah!By the way, you still don’t know what happened in the village recently, right?Now, let me tell you...

Of course, this does not mean that Jiraiya can continue to pursue Tsunade's ideas unswervingly after the embarrassing incident where he was exposed while peeping into the women's bathhouse and was caught by Tsunade... but because, in addition to In addition to the objective factors of drinking and strengthening people's courage.What's more, Jiraiya has never felt as full of hope for the future as he does now.

You know, after two close friends left the village one after another.After his most valued disciple, Minato Namikaze, died in the line of duty in the high-risk profession of Naruto world.Jiraiya, who seemed carefree and carefree, could be said to be in a dark period of extreme chaos and despair.

However, all of this has been effectively curbed in just over a year, and even a 180-degree reversal!

Not only did he accidentally learn from the teacher's mouth that the Minato couple, who were supposed to have all the family members dead, actually left a son behind, giving Jiraiya the possibility of redemption and making up for his past regrets.He also witnessed with his own eyes how amazing the strength and potential of his apprentice orphan was - not to mention anything else, at such a young age, he could command the power of the nine-tailed demon fox like an arm without any effort. In Jiraiya's opinion, it is enough to deserve the title of genius among geniuses!Not to mention that Danzo, a cancer that had been hidden in the Konoha ninja village for many years, was unexpectedly killed by Naruto, whom he had been trying to win over and bewitched!In fact, it made Jiraiya, who had always disliked Danzo, feel unprecedented relief!

After getting to know Naruto thoroughly, Jiraiya realized that participating in and personally annihilating Danzo was not the limit of surprises this little guy could give him...

In the process of special training specially tailored for Naruto due to his own guilt and compensation.Naruto's excellent potential has repeatedly refreshed Jiraiya's outlook and understanding!

Except when annihilating the root organization, because he trusted Jiraiya, he was able to confidently display the two additional trump cards of Flying Thunder God Technique and Sealing Technique in front of Jiraiya.Let Jiraiya always see the familiar and nostalgic overlapping figures of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina from Naruto...

After just one year of special training, Naruto not only made great progress in terms of strength.Under Jiraiya's personal witness, even without the help of Mount Myoboku's special toad oil, Naruto still mastered the special ninjutsu that is unique to Mount Myoboku to a level that is extremely close to proficiency and perfection. live!While Jiraiya was secretly amazed, he was always thinking about it in his mind - has he always misunderstood and looked away from the true candidate of the prophecy child mentioned by the Toad Immortal for so many years?

Driven by this thought, Jiraiya seemed to be trying to escape Haikou, who had boasted in front of Naruto that Tsunade would marry him more than a year ago, and left the village in dejection... but in fact, in In his mind, the figures of the three children he had taken care of in the Hidden Rain Village suddenly appeared - or, to be precise, the kind and gentle little guy from the Uzumaki clan - after that.Jiraiya, who felt more and more confused about the identification of the prophesied child, finally made up his mind when he confirmed that Naruto had the ability to stand alone.I want to go to Yuyin Village and go there in person to verify the authenticity of my guess!

It was precisely because of this that Jiraiya unexpectedly ran into Tsunade, whom he had not seen for many years.And as a matter of course, he made an appointment with Tsunade to be alone in an izakaya.While Jiraiya secretly felt surprised and happy, he also became more and more certain that Naruto, who could bring him so much good luck after meeting him, was definitely the true child of the prophecy!Then, washed away by the continuous good news, Jiraiya's thoughts became a little wandering, and he immediately planned to use the emboldening effect of being slightly tipsy to share this growing feeling in his heart with the woman in front of him who he had quietly admired for many years. Exuberant joy that is hard to suppress and control!So much so that every move he made became a little too careless and unscrupulous.In the face of this ecstatic emotion, the original plan of setting off to Yuyin Village was temporarily forgotten.

Village?Hey, most likely, it was some kind of oolong joke made by those old and immortal guys fighting for power...

It's a pity that Tsunade knows nothing about the changes and surprises Jiraiya has experienced in the past year or so.After looking at Jiraiya for a while, he seemed to have become accustomed to it and did not show any disgust or disgust towards Jiraiya's squinting eyes.At the same time, based on his old image of Jiraiya, he concluded that Jiraiya was probably making a fuss out of a molehill again, or bragging about not drafting.Even though Jiraiya kept talking endlessly, Tsunade was still tortured by the thirsty wine bug in her belly, her beautiful eyes staring straight at the wine bowl in her hand.As a result, he did not listen to the shocking inside stories that Jiraiya said while emboldened by drinking.On one side, like a heroic man, he raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

I didn't care about that kind of nonsense decades ago... Gu, du, du, du... Huha -!Um!This taste is indeed quite good...

Because of this, what Tsunade didn't know was...because of her subconscious inattention, as the future Fifth Hokage, she missed the opportunity to understand Naruto's true side in detail.Furthermore, after taking over in the future, when faced with many well-intentioned suggestions from the seemingly harmless Naruto, Tsunade, who was not yet aware of the sinister human heart, explained with actions - what does it mean to be betrayed and still behave obediently? Help me count money...

Of course, not to mention Jiraiya, what even Naruto himself didn't know was...

As the saying goes, there are advantages and disadvantages... Although in a sense, the series of choices Naruto made in order to change the fate of his companions did bring some good luck to Jiraiya...

But Naruto's exaggerated speed of strength improvement brought about the butterfly effect.But in a certain sense, it unintentionally accelerated the arrival of Jiraiya's death...

After all, Jiraiya in the original work just left the village without any worries after confirming that Naruto could stand alone.And without any intelligence reference or any reinforcement support.Will he return to Yuyin Village and fight against Pain's Six Paths alone?

In other words, if Tsunade hadn't unexpectedly appeared, he and Jiraiya would have met again in this small village.Under the subtle influence of this surprise, Jiraiya temporarily forgot his original plan, thus indirectly saving Jiraiya's life.Naruto himself, because he was thinking about Jiraiya's life events, temporarily eased and solved the dilemma faced by the little tanuki Gaara.If he rushes in the direction of Jiraiya without stopping... Well, with Naruto's current strength, by the time he discovers Jiraiya's true purpose, he may not be able to stop him no matter what. Are you going to follow the same old path again?

However, if you think about it carefully...

Although Naruto has made many actions that have affected the changes in the world line during this period of time...

But somewhere in the dark, it was as if there were a pair of invisible hands helping Naruto clean up the mess.Even though Naruto encountered many unexpected and thrilling events along the way - such as Orochimaru's early invasion that should not have happened, and the kidnapping of Hinata again by Cloud Hidden Village.But from beginning to end, it never caused any irreparable disaster!

After all, this is the illusory destiny, which has a certain ability to repair itself...

Or……

Behind this series of seemingly unrelated events... there is actually a behind-the-scenes mastermind who is far higher than Naruto?
