Naruto: Changing Fate

Welcome! ?"Back...back...?"

Although the Sandaime Hokage is already old, it can be said that he is used to big winds and waves.But in Tsunade's active embrace, the real touch and temperature stimulation fed back to the Sandaime Hokage's brain still made the Sandaime Hokage, who should have been able to remain calm even if the mountain collapsed, helpless. To avoid falling into a state of stunned astonishment.

After all, Tsunade was not only the first among the Sannin of Konoha to leave the village.Because she has been avoiding the collection of gambling debts, Tsunade's whereabouts over the years have been as erratic as Orochimaru's, who keeps secret bases everywhere!Coupled with the gradual decline of the Senju clan and the various traumas that happened to Tsunade.So much so that even the Sandaime Hokage, as a teacher, never had the extravagant hope that he could see Tsunade return in his lifetime!

It was at this time that the Sandaime Hokage finally understood...

At this juncture when the Uchiha clan had just submitted their relocation proposal, why did Fugaku have the rashness to break into his Hokage's office without even caring about etiquette and influence, as if he wanted to force his way into the palace.And what he said before was related to the Konoha Sannin.And what is the meaning of this uneasy premonition that appears inexplicably in my heart...

"Tsunade, you...you are not..."

Faced with this ending that he had already acquiesced to, it was an unexpected surprise with a huge contrast between before and after.Even all the Sandaime Hokage's perceptions truly told him that the Tsunade in front of him really existed in front of him.But under the ecstasy of recovery that suddenly swept through his body, the Sandaime Hokage still couldn't believe that what was happening in front of him was not a too beautiful daydream that he was having.After regaining consciousness, he tried to ask something while reaching out his hand and touching Tsunade tremblingly. In his own impression, she was still as smooth and fair as a girl, as if she had been baptized by the years. Under the eyes, the face has never changed from a generally young and familiar face.

"It's true... I... wasn't dreaming... Haha! It'll be nice to come back, just come back -! By the way, kid, you haven't suffered any grievances in these years outside the village, have you? Have you encountered any What trouble did you have? And..."

During this period, the movements of this hunched old man seemed so cautious, as if he was afraid of bursting the bubbles carrying the beautiful illusion.After he reached out his hand tremblingly and touched Tsunade's face, he couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed and cheered.Immediately during the eager greetings and greetings, the Sandaime Hokage completely lost the majestic aura that he should have as the head of a village.

But the people who witnessed all this did not show even the slightest bit of amusement at the Sandaime Hokage's rude behavior.Especially Uchiha Fugaku, regarding this scene of master and disciple reuniting, he ignored his own aloof persona and raised the corners of his mouth crazily as if he was empathizing with the inner thoughts of the Third Hokage.

After all, how strong is this sense of joy of regaining something without any hope, and the impulse that comes with it, making people so happy that they want to tell the whole world... As early as Naruto followed Sasuke When he returned home and took the initiative to confess his life experience to Fugaku, Fugaku had already experienced it personally.

"Old... teacher?"

At the same time, in the face of the Sandaime Hokage's enthusiastic questioning, Tsunade, who had been able to maintain her composure, suddenly became more guilty and panicked.

You know, because he didn't say a word, he took Shizune and left the village.Tsunade originally thought that from the moment she reunited with the Sandaime Hokage, this teacher who seemed to be quite rigid and serious in her mind would scold her irresponsible disciple.This led Tsunade to make up her mind to follow Jiraiya back to the village honestly, driven by the desire to keep Jiraiya under close supervision so that other women would not take advantage of her absence to take advantage of him. At that time, I was already mentally prepared to receive a scolding... but I never thought about it, let alone a scolding.According to the village rules, leaving the village without permission is enough to be regarded as an unfilial disciple who deserted.The Sandaime Hokage's first reaction was to worry about whether he had suffered any injustice in the years since he left the village!Naturally, while leaving Tsunade speechless, she felt more and more guilty and self-blame.

Of course, that's what they say... But in Tsunade's inner thoughts at the moment, even if she can't help but think randomly out of guilt and self-blame, and let the Sandaime Hokage scold herself, will she feel in her heart? Feeling better than now.But it was still difficult to suppress the bursts of warmth that surged from the bottom of his heart from the inside out.Even more so, wrapped in this familiar and nostalgic warmth, the corners of his mouth that were still pretending to be serious inadvertently slowly and quietly raised.

"This long-winded character is still the same as before. It hasn't changed at all, teacher..."

And at this moment, compared to the dry and unconfident verbal response, Tsunade naturally understood that it was easier to appease the thin old man in front of her who was crying with joy.So much so that it originally came to my mouth, intending to use it to defend myself, so as to avoid receiving a few words of reprimand, but was silently swallowed back.While teasing, he said it sincerely. He slightly tightened his arms and hugged tightly in response to the long-lost but familiar warm embrace of the old man in front of him.

"Huh...ahem...hey, first Orochimaru, then Tsunade..."

On the other side, Jiraiya, who had been watching uneasily and silently, did not let out a long breath of relief until he witnessed the Sandaime Hokage accepting Tsunade's return without any grudges.Then he inadvertently turned his head slightly, and with the corner of his eye, he saw Naruto standing next to him, looking at him with a sly smile. He couldn't help but blushed slightly, and started to complain softly with pretense of dissatisfaction.

"It's also a rare trip back to the village. Why haven't I been treated so well..."

"Maybe it's because, compared to the two of them, you are more like a good baby who doesn't need to be comforted, let alone worry about 'running away from home'?"

It's a pity that Jiraiya was in a hurry and could barely maintain his dissatisfied and complaining look, but he still couldn't hide the happy smile flowing in his eyes.So much so that Naruto could easily see through Jiraiya's true thoughts with just a glance.Then he tried his best to suppress his laughter and started teasing and joking in a serious manner.

"Besides, even though Grandpa Jiraiya says so...in your heart, you are happier than anyone else to see Grandma Tsunade successfully return to the village, right?"

"Ah! Go, go, go -! You brat, you are such a good baby but not a good baby. I'm going to have goosebumps all over my body... Don't you understand the simple truth of seeing through but not speaking out? Is it that hard to save some face for me?!"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he knew his true feelings from Naruto's verbal response. After having been seen through by this brat, Jiraiya no longer pretended to be something.He then rolled his eyes at Naruto and laughed and cursed angrily.On the other hand, he no longer suppressed the instinct to raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile of relief and satisfaction.

"But, then again... Sure enough, although the old man doesn't say it, he still can't let go of Tsunade and the others who are away from the village... Thanks, brat."

It was as if he was talking to himself, murmuring in a low voice.Jiraiya clearly understood that if Naruto hadn't used words to stimulate himself and Tsunade intentionally or unintentionally, breaking the barrier between the two, the last layer of window paper that should have disappeared long ago... don't say it It was the long-awaited response from Tsunade, and she finally got the beauty she wanted.Just persuading Tsunade to return to the village is absolutely impossible for Jiraiya right now!

It was precisely because of Jiraiya's personal experience that he witnessed Naruto's stunning performance that was no less impressive than that of an adult in one unexpected event after another.As a result, Jiraiya's view and positioning of Naruto had already been learned from the beginning. When the "deceased" Minato couple still had blood left in the world, he subconsciously identified himself as a fragile child who needed to be cared for and raised by himself.But a qualitative change has quietly occurred, and he has become an outstanding ninja who can stand alone!So what if Jiraiya hadn't kept reminding himself in his heart that the little guy in front of him was the biological son of his beloved disciple?I'm afraid that Jiraiya will probably be like Orochimaru's misunderstanding, thinking that Naruto, who is so talented that he can be called a monster, is an old monster who uses some kind of secret method of rejuvenation to maintain his childlike appearance.

Of course, what Jiraiya wouldn't know is...

In a sense, his conjecture unintentionally touched upon the essential reason why Naruto can repeatedly create "miracles"...

"Hey, you're still talking about me... Don't you think you're being disgusting if you suddenly say thank you..."

After seeing the undisguised and absolute trust in Jiraiya's gaze, the smile in Naruto's heart suddenly grew stronger.Then he deliberately shivered and teased Jiraiya.Holding his head in his hands, he continued with a playful smile.

"Hehe, besides, I just did what I should do... Just like when Grandpa Jiraiya personally rushed to the root organization and tried to protect me from Danzo. Between us, grandfather and grandson, Do you still need to say thank you?"

In words, it was confirmed that Tsunade would be readmitted to the Konoha Ninja Village.Naruto, who was also worried and thinking, quietly breathed a sigh of relief through these teasing words.As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Fugaku and Jiraiya to be silent for a moment and follow him out of the office.

Obviously, just like Jiraiya, who had endless words to reminisce about the past when he reunited with Tsunade and Orochimaru... For the Sandaime Hokage, who was immersed in the great joy of the return of his beloved disciple, rather than Like three telephone poles, the pestle serves as a source of dissonance here.It would be better to resign first when it is sure to be safe, so that the master and apprentice, who have been separated for many years, can be alone and have a good chat.

It is also from this moment on, with the return of Tsunade, a shadow-level powerhouse... Since losing the fourth generation Hokage, Namikaze Minato, he has been severely lacking in high-level combat power, and can only rely on the third generation Hokage to take the lead. Konoha Ninja Village has finally come out of this embarrassing predicament!

And after the shortage of high-end combat power was made up for... the grassroots combat power of the Konoha Ninja Village, due to the disappearance of a series of troublemakers such as Danzo, was fully exerted by the third generation Hokage without any distractions. , entering a state of rapid development that can be called a return to its peak.So far from Naruto's point of view, Konoha Ninja Village has regained its position as the top of the five major Ninja Villages. This prestigious reputation is enough to shock everyone around, and it is definitely just around the corner!

Of course, although the prospects are very good, Naruto still has some troubles at this moment that he needs to solve...

First, it was the strange energy body that had been confirmed to reside in Naruto's body during the journey away from the village and had a certain degree of self-awareness.Although it has been more or less determined, we need to observe it for a while first.But if you relax a little bit, this energy body will escape from the layers of seals and cause trouble.Naruto still needs to find professionals to discuss how to place it so that it can be more secure.To avoid any irreversible accidents in the days to come.

Secondly, it is related to the first big event that Naruto has done since arriving in the world of Naruto - that is the death of the leader of the original root organization, Shimura Danzo!

Just like in this world, there is no wall that can truly be airtight...

Even though the Sandaime Hokage followed Naruto's request, he had kept the news of Danzo's death tightly sealed for more than a year.But there will still be some flaws due to some subtle gaps that are difficult to take care of perfectly... For example, Danzo will regularly communicate with his partners every once in a while.

Because of this, when Danzo remained silent and disappeared for more than a year...it was obvious that Orochimaru was definitely not the only one who could vaguely sense something was wrong!

And this is the fatal flaw that Naruto still missed despite countless calculations!
