Naruto: Changing Fate

As the surviving elites of the Root Organization headquarters came to an end, the Root Organization, which Danzo had painstakingly founded and operated for many years, perished along with the end of his own life. Even these survivors It is only a matter of time to pry out the missing and hidden branch strongholds and destroy them one by one one by one... But in the final analysis, these trivial but simple finishing tasks can be properly handled by the third generation Hokage to arrange the manpower. In other words In other words, the secret operation full of crisis and excitement has come to an end for the time being, and it is time for Uzumaki Naruto to return to his previous fulfilling and simple daily life.

Come back, won’t come back, come back, won’t come back… On the first day after the secret operation to encircle and suppress Danzo and the Root Organization ended—also the first day of the new year—no one noticed that something happened in the village in one night. Uchiha Sasuke, who was able to reverse the astonishing changes in the world, walked to the No. [-] wilderness survival training ground with a backpack full of food as usual. On the way, he was curious about the use of the deep, dark hole that appeared overnight near the Hokage's office building. What are you doing here? After entering the training ground, he picked a small flower with still morning dew in his palm and slowly tore off the petals. He whispered to himself as if to comfort himself and divined Naruto's return date... I haven't seen Naruto come here to train for a whole day and night... What on earth did he do? Is he really okay?

On the outside, he may still look a little naive and naive, but Sasuke's innate keen perception as a descendant of the Uchiha clan and his deeper understanding of Naruto after training with him for a long time allowed him to work with him. Naruto's abnormal behavior on the day of their separation - to be precise, Naruto's insincere words because he clearly wanted to get away from him as soon as possible - could detect a looming sense of crisis, especially when his father stayed away from home all night for no reason. The ground was determined to be related to Naruto's rare incident of not even paying attention to the shadow clone and secretly leaving to handle something...

But he was just aware of it. From the unexpected duel in the training ground, Sasuke determined that Naruto's strength was not comparable to that of his brother, who was known as a genius. However, even so, Naruto still chose to deliberately stay away from him and go out alone. , even his brother who came to guide his training often had unexpected situations where he was worried and distracted. Then the things to be done would definitely not be as light as Naruto said. It was definitely so dangerous that Naruto had no time to distract himself from protecting himself. A dangerous situation.

Knowing that there is a huge gap in strength between himself and Naruto, if he insists on staying with Naruto, he will definitely become a hindrance. He clearly realizes that his lack of strength will make him stay safe when facing a crisis. Sasuke waited for the result to come but was unable to interfere in the slightest. From this, he understood why Naruto was so obsessed with training even though he was of the same age as him. Sasuke would only save Naruto after getting Naruto's promise that he would return safely. Worried, he pretended not to know anything and left obediently... But because of this, Sasuke realized the importance of strength for the first time, and he devoted himself to high-load training again without saying a word or complaining. , doubling his efforts and squeezing every ounce of energy in his body without reservation, so that during the training process, he often collapsed to the ground with exhaustion and fatigue... Because in Sasuke's heart, he has never been so thirsty for strength as now. leaps and bounds of progress.

He wants to grow up as quickly as possible...

He is no longer a little follower who can only hide behind his brother and Naruto and passively receive protection. He does not expect his own strength to reach the top and be among the best...as long as he can follow the footsteps of his brother and Naruto and witness with his own eyes what they are facing. It is enough and satisfying to have the capital to face the world hand in hand with them.

Come back, not come back, come back...

The distant consciousness gradually regained consciousness due to the gradual reduction of petals in his hand. His eyes refocused on the flower in his hand while he murmured in a low voice, but his heart was always in a state of uneasiness... But the facts also proved that no matter what Sasuke's actions were, No matter how slow and gentle you are, the number of petals on the flower in your hand is still limited.Under Sasuke's fixed gaze, the last petal finally stood out.

No...not coming back...how, how is this possible? !

And this remaining petal represents the bad news that Naruto will not come back.

...Hey, I really should have picked another flower. This one is not reliable at all...

After being stunned for a moment, Sasuke sneered and muttered to himself. At the same time, Sasuke's hand holding the flower began to tremble slightly because of the scene he least wanted to see. He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, trying to calm himself down. The harder he worked, the more his hands gradually turned white. The fingertips completely revealed Sasuke's panic.

No, no, no, calm down, calm down... This thing doesn't count, yes, it's just a game, it's no big deal...

……

Sasuke, Sasuke, why don't you... Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity...

ah?Dad, what were you just... talking about?

...Ahem, it's nothing, don't take it to heart, dad was just talking nonsense to himself because he didn't have enough sleep all night.

...? ? ?

……

Those incomprehensible words that dad said, could they be... No, no no, no no no...Naruto...Naruto has promised me that he will come back...He will definitely come back, we made a promise Okay!Naruto said that a true man will definitely do what he promises!

For some reason while speaking, Sasuke's mind flashed back to his father who came home smelling of alcohol after staying out all night, and his father inexplicably pointing at him, shaking his head with regret and resentment. The ominous premonition in his heart because only the meaning of flowers was left became more and more obvious. The feeling deepened and spread, and he couldn't help but subconsciously move his legs faster and run towards the place where he usually trained with Naruto - nothing is more trustworthy than seeing it with his own eyes. As long as he arrived at the agreed training venue on time, he would have done it long ago. When Naruto comes back from work, he will definitely arrive there in advance and wait patiently for his arrival as before!

But the reality was as cruel as if it wanted to drag the little fan into the abyss of despair. When Sasuke ran out of breath to the center of the training ground and looked around eagerly, he couldn't even find Naruto's shadow, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Out of breath, he collapsed on the ground.

How...how could this happen...Naruto, didn't you promise me you would come back, liar...

The flower that failed in the divination game, his father's inexplicable yet meaningful words, and his close friend who still showed no sign of showing up made Sasuke's already young heart finally unable to withstand the blow. He couldn't help but hug his knees with his hands and the tip of his nose was sore. He twitched his head and sobbed softly, but he didn't notice at all that his dark eyes were gradually turning into a scarlet color like blood.

Naruto...woo...Naruto...wuwu...

Oh, it's quite early today... But why are you crying like a little girl here alone, Sasuke... Sasuke?Hey Sasuke, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?

...ah?Naruto...Naruto?Before Sasuke could cry sadly for a long time, the familiar teasing voice in his ears and the palms slapping on his shoulders made Sasuke freeze up. Then he didn't bother to wipe away the tears on his face and quickly raised his head in disbelief to look for the sound, impartially. Just when he saw some water droplets remaining beside him, Naruto, who was smiling with his eyes bent, suddenly exclaimed.Naruto, is it...really you?Are you really back? !

I got a big deal!Open your eyes after not seeing each other for just a day?What has this little guy been through... He is crying so sadly. Could it be that the changes in the timeline have not yet finished, causing Uchiha Itachi's massacre of the entire clan to be brought forward... huh?Wait a minute, this is what I'm holding in my hand... Okay, I think I probably know the reason why this child opened his eyes... I saw the petals of only one flower left in Sasuke and the little face that opened his eyes after a day. With the newly born Magatama Sharingan, Naruto, who is good at understanding people's hearts, soon knew the reason why the little Uchiwa fan was burying his head in tears based on his understanding of Sasuke. As the boulder hanging in his heart gradually dropped, he couldn't help but laugh and cry in his heart. Sasuke, this little boy, Guys, you probably think I'm dead and can't come back, right?This can open my eyes. Should I laugh out loud or cry...

Okay, okay, stop crying, you're crying like a little cat... Be good, be good, be good, Sasuke... With a smile in his eyes and helpless shaking of his head, Naruto reached out and gently rubbed Sasuke's little head to comfort him while thinking. After a moment, he responded to Sasuke's unbelievable repeated calls and started teasing and teasing, which dispersed the worries in Xiao Tuanfan's heart. Hey, hey, hey, I am here, I don't need to emphasize it so many times, I think my ears are pretty good. Yes, you can hear it clearly after saying it once... Also, I said Sasuke, aren't I here properly?He's not missing an arm, he's not lame, and he's not dead. He's just exhausted from doing errands yesterday and was sweating all over. He just ran nearby and took a shower before you came. Are you just crying in mourning?Do you want to curse me to death?Or...are you crying so sadly because you were worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep, so you came over so early in the morning and didn't see me?

Who...who is worried that you can't sleep!Who is crying?I...wow...!Sasuke, who didn't realize at all that his eyesight was inexplicably much better than before, carefully slapped Naruto next to him on the face, making sure that Naruto was still as slender as usual except for changing clothes compared to yesterday. She couldn't help but blush and started arguing out of habit, but after a pause, she flattened her mouth, threw herself around her waist and jumped into Naruto's arms, nuzzling her and acting coquettishly.

Of course...huh?Naruto, who thought that Sasuke would be unconvinced and argumentative as usual when stimulated by his words, saw the fearful dependence on the small fan in his arms. The words that came to his throat were swallowed back alive, and he hugged his waist to hold his arms firmly. The man in the room raised the corner of his mouth slightly, reached out and patted Xiao Tuanfan's back lovingly, and responded word for word in a low tone, "Okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... Aren't I here well?"Be good, be good...

... woo...

Just like I promised before... I'm back, Sasuke.

...Well...welcome back, Naruto.
