Naruto: Changing Fate

Chapter 396 The show begins

Welcome! "Fake..." In other words, your goal is not the real Book of Sealing... It's just that when others find it, they will all mistakenly think that you have stolen the Book of Sealing. That’s it?”

After getting along with Naruto for many years, the Sandaime Hokage has finally mastered most of Naruto's weird logic that doesn't follow routines.Then, as the look of surprise on his face slowly faded away, he quickly realized Naruto's true purpose under Naruto's prompting.He raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask with increasing confusion.

"But, what are you doing this for? Graffiti on Huoying Rock, at least it can be explained clearly by saying that it is an immature, too willful and naughty behavior of your child... But once it is seen by others, you really stole it. If it’s a sealed book, wouldn’t your reputation be..."

"It will become more embarrassing, right? Hehe, don't worry, Grandpa Sandaime Hokage, I've long been used to such little things!"

Naruto obviously expected the Sandaime Hokage's concerns.But even so, Naruto still had a reason to "steal the book".Furthermore, without waiting for the Sandaime Hokage to finish speaking, he took over the conversation on his own. At the same time, Naruto, who should have been troubled by this problem, actually comforted the Sandaime Hokage.

"So, as long as my friends are here...it doesn't matter what others think of me!"

"Friends...ah...ah, this kind of rhetoric is exactly the same as when you were a child. There is no change at all...I really don't know whether I should call you a gregarious little guy or a withdrawn character. …”

Hearing the word "habit" in Naruto's words, a hint of apology and self-blame suddenly appeared in the depths of the Sandaime Hokage's eyes.Then based on his own understanding of Naruto, he knew that once the little guy in front of him made up his mind, it would be difficult to persuade him to change, so he gave up the useless attempt to preach.Then he paused for a moment, then asked Naruto directly for the answer he most wanted to get at the moment.

"Then, can you tell Grandpa... why do you suddenly want to steal the Sealed Book?"

"Well...it can't be said that I think about it..."

Unless the time is ripe for the Sandaime Hokage's inquiries, Naruto, who trusts and admires the Sandaime Hokage, will always answer all questions.After sorting out the logic of his words, he responded as simply and clearly as possible without thinking.

"It should be said that in the past few days, as a 'crane tail' who failed two consecutive graduation exams, I may encounter someone who will instigate me to do this. It can almost be regarded as a serious crime of defecting from the village."

It is obvious that the person mentioned by Naruto is the one who almost brought Naruto to the finale in the first episode in the original plot...

That was Mizuki, the invigilator who was responsible for conducting Naruto's third graduation examination with Iruka in the ninja school's graduation examination.

"Oh I got it……"

After Naruto said these words, the looming nervousness and worry on the Sandaime Hokage's face disappeared in an instant.Mizuki, whom Naruto mentioned in his understatement, had never met before, felt deep sympathy and showed an undisguised expression of pity.

After all, according to Naruto's statement, in the next few days, Mizuki may try to instigate Naruto to steal books, just like in the original plot. This is what makes Naruto's pranks in recent times begin to get worse. s reason.And judging from the Sandaime Hokage's understanding of Naruto...

What if someone is targeted by Naruto as an enemy, an exploitable target, etc., but not among his partners?Well, in terms of the outcome alone, it seems that everyone has paid an extremely painful price so far... Not to mention, as Naruto said, I don't know if he has eaten the courage of a bear, or because he dislikes himself for living too much. The unlucky guy who had been comfortable for a long time and was brave enough to take the initiative to provoke Naruto!

"...Ah? That's all?"

Seeing the Sandaime Hokage's calm expression of relief and sympathy, Naruto knew in his heart that the old man in front of him was already the same as before. Out of trust in him, he acquiesced in his hasty move. It sounded almost harmful. A crazy plan that serves no purpose.Then, the smile in his eyes became more and more exuberant, and while he withdrew the explanation words he had prepared for the follow-up, he blinked his eyes with an innocent face, pretending to be innocent and teasing.

"I thought that when Grandpa Sandaime Hokage found out, he would severely accuse and reject me because he was too worried about my safety..."

"Worried? In a sense, I am indeed worried... I am just worried that you will go too far and people will come to me again to beg for mercy and help."

After making the decision, the Sandaime Hokage returned to his original appearance of a carefree old man.Then he raised his hand and skillfully put new tobacco into the pipe in his hand.On the one hand, they were like a real grandfather and grandson. The moment Naruto finished speaking, with a smile in his eyes, he responded seriously and joked.

"Just think of it as a small recovery and warm-up training to celebrate your safe return to the village... But remember, don't overdo it."

He did not ask too much about the motives and reasons, nor did he deliberately restrict Naruto's actions... It is obvious that the Sandaime Hokage's trust in Naruto has not diminished at all as the years have passed.On the contrary, as the bond grows day by day, the depth of this trust is far beyond what ordinary people expect!

In other words, no matter how unbelievable the action plan proposed by Naruto, who does not follow the routine, is... as long as Naruto can ensure his own safety, the Sandaime Hokage will definitely support it fully.

After all, although in Naruto's heart, his view of Konoha Ninja Village, as he said before, is not as important as his friends... but it is precisely because of the existence of these friends that the Sandaime Hokage is enough Make sure that this little guy who seems to be laughing and joking all day long and not doing anything right will definitely not do anything that harms the interests of the Konoha Ninja Village!

Of course, the premise is that everyone in Konoha Ninja Village will not run to take advantage of Naruto's friends like Danzo who is seeking death...

……

"Hmm? It starts so soon..."

After hearing the hurried footsteps outside the office, which were getting closer and closer, and it was obvious that there were many people, the Sandaime Hokage immediately recalled the strange scene of the book theft preview that had just been staged in this office not long ago - or in other words, just yesterday. .Then, with a strange look on his face, he lowered the brim of his hat slightly to cover the change in his expression, and at the same time, he glanced sideways and looked out the window through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office.While the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, he muttered to himself rather helplessly.

"Although Naruto's kid has indeed warned in advance that he may come to steal books in the next few days...but there is no need to choose this time specifically, right?!"

At this time, the Konoha Ninja Village was already shrouded in deep night.Logically speaking, it should be a warm moment to go home and rest peacefully after a hard day's work.So much so that even the Sandaime Hokage, who had received the notice in advance, was ready to sort out and sort the documents according to his usual commuting time, and then go home leisurely for dinner.Due to the alternation of morning and evening shifts, the guards who had empty stalls for less than a few minutes would never have thought that on this extremely ordinary day, someone would be bold enough to come and cause trouble in the Hokage's office building!

What's more, the time Naruto chose to take action can be said to be an extremely "coincidental" existence...

As if he had deliberately timed his actions, Naruto had just left the Hokage's office building with the "Sealed Book" that he had dropped in advance.The usual guard responsible for the night shift just arrived at his post.So much so that he "accidentally" discovered the bad news that the "Sealed Book" was missing at this very first moment.And Mizuki seemed to be deliberately cooperating with Naruto's actions to restore the development of the original plot, running around to tell the truth that Naruto had stolen the "Sealed Book".Without Mizuki spending any more words, everyone easily believed that this sudden book theft incident was all carefully planned and prepared by Uzumaki Naruto himself!

It is precisely because of this that everyone who knows this "truth" naturally starts to worry - Naruto, who has been discriminated against by the villagers since he was a child, will he get the power from the rich reserves after getting the book of seals? In ninjutsu, he discovered a way to lift his own seal.Then, driven by the desire to take revenge on the villagers at all costs, he completely released the Nine-Tails in his body, allowing the events of the Nine-Tails Rebellion to happen again in the Konoha Ninja Village, which had finally recovered its strength. !

As a result, while everyone was worried and busy complaining to the Sandaime Hokage, they had no time to think about why Mizuki, who was rarely seen near the Hokage's office building because of his mediocre status, not only did it this time Appearing near the Hokage's office building, it was an extremely coincidence that he "witnessed" the whole process of Naruto stealing the book? ——This huge obvious loophole!

"Is this what that kid always said, to do a full show? With his current strength, even if he were to force his way in, few people could stop him, but he still deliberately chose this time to do it... No Those who know, most likely really think that this is a move that Naruto has planned for a long time... Ah, I thought I could go home and rest early today, but now it seems that everything is probably in vain."

The moment he opened the door to the office, he saw a crowd of people crowded at the door, noisily complaining to him. The Sandaime Hokage felt a slight headache and couldn't help but raise his hand to cover himself up. face.After a short pause, his brows furrowed and he returned to his serious look.Then, around the body, a sense of pressure that was not angry and intimidating gradually developed, and he shouted in a cold voice word by word.

"I already know the situation... Although it has been some time since the Sealed Book was stolen. But with a child's foot strength, he should not have left the village yet... All members are dispatched immediately! Catch Naruto back to me!"

Of course, even if they are deliberately cooperating with Naruto's performance, because of Naruto's growing strength, they know that even if everyone in front of them attacks together, they will not be able to hurt Naruto at all.But in these words, out of the selfish intention of doting on Naruto, the Sandaime Hokage couldn't help but frown more and more as soon as he finished speaking, and added uneasily.

"But remember, the Jinchuuriki must be very excited right now. In addition, the child holds the sealed book compiled by the Nidaime Hokage himself... Therefore, when you meet Naruto, do your best to do your best. Be careful and don't stimulate Naruto's emotions too much, lest the jinchūriki go berserk or the book of seals is damaged!"

"Yes--!"

The Sandaime Hokage's words sounded unexpected, but they did make some sense.In addition, the current situation is indeed quite "critical and tense", so that everyone who heard the order had no time to think carefully about the subtleties contained in it.After responding in unison, they dispersed.Then, like looking for a needle in a haystack, they searched and captured Naruto throughout the entire territory of the huge Konoha Ninja Village!

And on the other side...

"Huh...huh...Naruto, where did this child go..."

Compared to the people who had no clue and only relied on their own intuition, they hurriedly left to search... Iruka, who had been notified by Mizuki in advance and had been searching in the village for some time, asked, "How can I find it in the village?" If you can't find it either...it's hard to say——! That child is hiding..."
