Naruto: Changing Fate

Chapter 318 Diverging Opinions

Welcome! ?Faced with this half-coquettish, half-threatening offensive, even Naruto's true form was unable to parry.As a shadow clone, "Naruto", who has exactly the same thinking logic as his original body, naturally fell into the trap without exception.And just as the little fan fan thought, with the obedient cooperation of "Naruto" who knew everything and said everything, he easily obtained the information that the Sandaime Hokage and others were most concerned about at the moment.

It is precisely because of this that after this, there was a cheer that made the Sandaime Hokage and others look at each other and secretly doubt their lives.

"Huh... forget it... although... I don't understand how this child did it... but now, it seems that this is not the time to dwell on this, right?"

After a long silence, Rizu finally calmed down his complicated mood. He raised his hand to comfort him and patted her gently. Because of the current situation, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh, and his face was even more complicated than Rizu's. Fugaku's shoulders.While tilting his head slightly, he softly called the consciousness of the Sandaime Hokage, who was still in a trance, back to reality by speaking out a suggestion.

"What do you think? Lord Sandaime Hokage."

"It's true...ahem...that's true. The most urgent task is to first determine the location of Naruto's body and what happened."

His consciousness gradually returned to consciousness, and he realized that he was losing his temper.Let the Sandaime Hokage cough continuously to cover up the embarrassed look on his face.While taking advantage of the situation, he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked sideways at Xiao Tuan Fan. For fear of scaring Xiao Tuan Fan again, he tried his best to keep his face as kind and friendly as possible, and continued in a gentle voice.

"So... little guy, what did you ask? Can you tell us?"

"Hey, of course it's no problem!"

Perhaps it was because it was rare to see Naruto like this, because he was too guilty and looked embarrassed, answering every question.Xiaodan Fan, who was usually "bullied" by Naruto, suddenly became very proud.So much so that when facing the Sandaime Hokage, he was no longer as restrained and nervous as before.Instead, he stretched out a pair of fleshy short hands, and while gesticulating in front of him, he would obtain the information from "Naruto" - including the reason for Naruto to leave the village again, and the "Konoha Sannin" The "unexpected" reunion, as well as the current location of Naruto, whom everyone was most concerned about at the moment, were all relayed to the Sandaime Hokage and others in detail.

"First of all, the reason why Naruto left the village again was because..."

It's a pity that even though he was telling and conveying the story triumphantly, Sasuke was just a child after all, and his scheming was too immature.As a result, Xiao Tuanfan, who was talking with his back to Naruto, didn't notice...

"Naruto", who had looked dejected before, heard Xiao Tuanshan's unquestioning words, but in this quiet moment, a smile with a sense of luck flashed across his eyes.

Of course, this is not to say that there is anything fishy in the answer "Naruto" gave to Xiao Uuan Fan when Xiao Uuan Fan was asked one after another - in fact, in the face of Xiao Uuan Fan's offensive method of threatening to cry, "Naruto" It was too late to try to comfort him, so how could he add fuel to the fire and desperately try to deceive this little guy?

However, just like the previous answer to Fugaku's question, it was too concise and clear, so that many seemingly insignificant details were hidden without everyone noticing... Although when answering the question of Xiao Tuanfan, "Naruto" seemed a lot more happy, and the content of his answer was as detailed as every detail.But on one point, he lied quietly - or, in other words, concealed something.

That was the reason that prompted the main body to stay for only one night before leaving the village again without stopping.The main reason for trying to persuade Kabuto Yakushi to return to the village before Orochimaru, and then completely transforming into a friendly partner in advance.In order to care about the happiness of Jiraiya in his later years, who has been single for many years, he plans to do his best to match this "big fool" so that Jiraiya can have a family of his own.In order to prevent the Sandaime Hokage from knowing the truth about Yakushi Kabuto, it will have any additional impact and changes on the development of the main plot line.

Well, in other words... In a sense, "Naruto" did not deceive Xiao Tuanfan at all... that is, he only told eighty-nine points of this very truth, and even retained one point. That’s all.

But just as "Naruto" had thought before, this unabashed truth is sometimes more deceptive and misleading than carefully crafted lies...

No, no, the Sandaime Hokage and others, who originally had complicated expressions, listened carefully to the information obtained by Xiaodan Fan.Not only did his brows relax completely, but also because the information provided by "Naruto" was so intertwined that it was difficult to falsify it, and he no longer had to worry about the authenticity of the information.This made the Sandaime Hokage and others take advantage of this freed up time to start thinking about countermeasures without any distractions.

"Well, that's it... I just wanted to leave the village to find Jiraiya, help the brat calm down, and find a wife to come back to. But I didn't expect that just after I found Jiraiya, I ran into Tsunade and Orochi one after another. Maru... If you put it like this, it can explain clearly why Naruto's previous behavior suddenly became so abnormal..."

Whispering to himself in a low voice, because he was the mentor of the Konoha Sannin, the Sandaime Hokage knew very well the personalities of his three disciples who had been away from the village for a long time for completely different reasons.Based on this, it was determined that most of the information "Naruto" said was true.So much so that "Naruto"'s true form is very likely to be what he said. When he left the village for the second time, he bumped into Orochimaru, who had already become a notorious S-class rebellious nin.

Of course, even so, after hearing that Naruto had done almost no preparations for intelligence gathering, and was just in the process of tracking Jiraiya's whereabouts, he "naturally" met the other two Sannin of Konoha.So much so that between two of them, even if Jiraiya worked tirelessly to find him, it was rare for him to meet the Sannin of Konoha all year round.After the fact that they unexpectedly reunited in such a simple way.While the Sandaime Hokage inevitably felt a little unreal, he also secretly lamented that Naruto, who never played according to the routine, was really the ninja of the Konoha Ninja Village.

"Huh, I finally know what happened to this child Naruto... I didn't expect that Naruto didn't lie this time, and he really met Orochimaru... Tsk, this child is really It’s enough to make people worry!”

At the same time, like the Sandaime Hokage, Fugaku, who was always worried about Naruto's current situation, after listening to his youngest son's report.Although his brows relaxed a lot, his eyes still showed full of worry and uneasiness.As a result, after a brief pause in speaking, he turned around, heading towards the exit of the secret room, and prepared to leave with rapid strides.

After all, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, the most powerful clan in Konoha Ninja Village today.Fugaku, who had been baptized and tempered by the flames of war, could easily see that even if he already knew the location of Naruto's body, if he wanted to provide assistance, it would still take a long time and a fatal problem.So much so that he didn't know anything about Naruto's current situation, whether he had successfully escaped or was still fighting Orochimaru to the death, which brought about an increasingly intense sadness.Fugaku, who was so worried, naturally did not dare to stay here for even a second.Then he planned to leave and return directly to the Uchiha clan's territory.Count the elite ninjas left behind in the clan to form a rescue team.In order to quickly rush to the direction of Naruto's true body and rush for reinforcements all the way.

"Wait a minute, Brother Fugaku..."

However, before Fugaku could take a step forward, he walked a few steps.Hizu, who was standing aside, stretched out his hand and intercepted Fugaku's figure with quick eyes and hands.Then he looked straight at Fugaku, who was vaguely worried, like a furious lion about to go wild, exuding a gloomy and dangerous aura.On the other hand, he was secretly surprised because it was the first time he saw Fugaku, who was usually calm and serious, acting so anxious and out of sorts. He also thought about how important Naruto was in Fugaku's heart.Then he took a deep breath, kept his tone as calm as possible, and continued to ask word by word.

"You shouldn't be planning to... go back and gather people to reinforce Naruto now, right?"

"Isn't this useless... obvious?"

Fugaku was so anxious that he almost uttered a curse word when faced with Rizu's sudden obstruction.Then he tried his best to suppress and endure it, and changed the words that came to his mouth.At the same time, he blocked Nizu's arm in front of him, intending to slap it away lightly or not.While rolling his eyes, he responded angrily.

"Now that you know everything, why are you stopping me? The top priority now is to find a way to save Naruto. Otherwise, if it's too late, it will be too late!"

"Of course I know...but just because you know, you should be calmer! Think about it, Brother Fugaku. Last time we forced our way into the root organization and tried to help Naruto. In the end, what we can do is... It's just to help Naruto clean up the mess...and that's when Naruto is in trouble in the village!"

Unfortunately, Hizashi, who was also feeling uneasy and worried about Naruto's current situation, was driven by his only remaining reason and still had no intention of letting Fugaku leave.So much so that the arm blocking Fugaku's body was as if cast from copper poured into iron, motionless at the same time.While keeping his tone as calm as possible, he persuaded patiently under Fugaku's increasingly dangerous eyes.

"In that case, we didn't have time to help Naruto, not to mention Naruto's current location, which is not a short distance away from the village? If you insist on going, don't say If you can help Naruto, I'm afraid things will be over by the time you get there, right?"

"Tsk...so what? It's better than waiting here and doing nothing!"

Fugaku's body suddenly stiffened due to Hizu's well-reasoned words of comfort.But not long after, fearing that Naruto would have any unexpected emotional impulses, he completely suppressed his reason again.As a result, Fugaku frowned and retorted rather unhappily.As if seeking alliance and recognition, he turned his head slightly and looked at the silent Sandaime Hokage.

"Are you right? Lord Sandaime Hokage?"

Fugaku thought that the Sandaime Hokage, who also had deep guilt and self-blame for what happened to Naruto's family, would definitely agree with his proposal if he felt the same way.So that even if Rizu blocks it, he can justifiably ignore it.Then continue to return home and move the rescuers for Naruto!

"...No, Fugaku, Hizu is right. Even if we rush over now, it will definitely be too late."

Unfortunately, what Fugaku never expected was that...the Sandaime Hokage, who only spoke out again after thinking silently for a moment, not only did not stand on the same front as Fugaku, as Fugaku expected.On the contrary, he shook his head slightly, agreeing with Rizu's conclusion.

"What's more, the infiltration and sabotage incident in Yunyin Village has just happened. The village is now in a state of panic and turmoil. Not to mention how many forces are still in the dark and what are they planning against the village? Conspiracy... On the cusp of this storm, if you take away all the elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan from the village, it will undoubtedly be a huge reduction in the overall defense of the village, isn't it? "

Obviously, although the Sandaime Hokage, who dotes on and loves Naruto as his own grandson, is also in a state of anxiety and nervousness regarding Naruto, who is currently facing an attack by Orochimaru and whose life or death is unknown... But In the final analysis, as the supreme leader who rules the entire Konoha ninja village.The Sandaime Hokage obviously has many more things to consider and worry about than Fugaku.

In other words, even at this moment, the Sandaime Hokage's inner restlessness is not much inferior to Fugaku, it can even be said to be even worse...

But under the circumstances of shouldering the name of Hokage, this seemingly radiant and heavy responsibility is actually full of sacrifices and blood and tears.No matter what situation you face, you must force yourself to suppress and restrain your emotional impulses.Furthermore, the Sandaime Hokage puts the interests of the village first at all times.But there is no way to make a rash decision just based on personal impulse like Fugaku!

Because of this, situations where opinions are so diametrically opposed that conflicts are inevitable.As a result, there was a vague smell of gunpowder among the Sandaime Hokage and others...
