Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

After Nagato and Kaguya Rei raised their pursuit position high enough, Hinata Hanabi quickly lost sight of the two of them within the range of perception. However, Nagato and Kaguya Rei did not pursue them immediately because of this, and He was patiently hanging on the extreme distance from which he could perceive Jiraiya, silently waiting for them to completely relax their vigilance.

As expected, they changed speed and direction several times, and after confirming that there were no other pursuers behind Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi and Hinata Hanabi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, actively slowed down their speed, and passed A special code known only to Konoha ninjas revealed the whereabouts of the two of them to Jiraiya, and took him to a small town abandoned because of the war.

"You are indeed Konoha's ninjas..."

After catching up with Kakashi and Hanabi, Jiraiya did not rush forward to talk immediately, but carefully maintained a distance from each other while observing the surrounding environment to ensure that there was no ambush nearby. On the other hand, he calmly stood at the most suitable position for evacuation.

"I originally thought that you would properly accompany the Third Generation to participate in the peace talks, so I didn't take the disguise too seriously... As expected, I became a little too relaxed because of the long-term peace."

Kakashi Hatake tidied his clothes and took the initiative to greet Jiraiya:

"I haven't seen you for many, many years, Jiraiya-sama."

"Many, many years?" Jiraiya looked at the upper half of Kakashi's face that already had traces of time. After a moment of silence, he asked with some emotion: "In your future, have I been dead for a long time? , Kakashi? And your eye, I remember, the left eye should be the Sharingan, right? "

"Yes, in order to protect the village, the disciples, and the future of the entire ninja world, you sneaked into the enemy's base camp alone, and unfortunately died in battle after passing on key information," Kakashi Hatake exclaimed with the same emotion. He took a breath and said, "Without your sacrifice, our future might have fallen into an eternal dream."

"As for the Sharingan that Obito gave me, I have already staked it in the final battle that will determine the future... After that, there will be no more talk about the Sharingan Kakashi. ."

"It sounds like I have an ending that is very fitting for my identity as a ninja..."

After listening to Kakashi's description of the outcome of his life and the final destination of his Sharingan, Jiraiya couldn't help but show a bit of relief and melancholy on his face. After calming down his emotions a little, he finally He looked at the two of them with a trusting gaze and a gentle expression:

"The Great Toad Immortal gave me a new prophecy before, telling me that I can find a girl with white eyes and the heroes around her who know the past and the future, and ask them the answers to the questions in my heart..."

"I was worried at first. If the people I finally find who can answer my questions are people who are difficult to understand and trust with me, how will I get the answers from them? But now I see you living well. I started to feel that it didn’t matter whether I asked this question or not.”

"Won't you introduce me to the woman traveling with you, Kakashi?"

"Well, hello, Jiraiya-sama, I am Hinata Hanabi, the second daughter of Hinata Hinata, and now the heir of the Hyuga clan and the Jounin of Konoha..." Hinata Hanabi took the initiative to step forward and took out the family nobles. Following female etiquette, she introduced herself to Jiraiya seriously.

"Oh? Is Hizu's second daughter actually the heir to the Hyuga clan?"

Jiraiya showed a somewhat surprised expression. As a high-ranking official in Konoha, he was familiar with the Hyuga clan's rules for clans and divisions. Generally speaking, the heirs of clans are basically direct descendants like Hyuga Hizashi. The eldest son is determined early, and it is rare for the second son/daughter to become the head of the family...

"Well, because a series of things happened after Hanabi was born, she eventually replaced her married sister and became the heir of the Hyuga clan." Kakashi touched his mask and explained briefly Let’s take a look at this issue.

"The future era has become so enlightened that even a conservative family like the Hyuga clan can marry off the clan's heir!?" Jiraiya's eyes suddenly widened, and he stepped forward to grab Kaka with excitement on his face. Xi's hand asked with an expression of disbelief:

"You're not lying to me, are you, Kakashi? What about the Uchiha clan? The Uchiha clan always has a condescending face and has never had a good relationship with the people in the village. Are they like Hinata? Are you willing to marry other ninjas and integrate into Konoha, just like the other clans? How did that boy Minato do so well after he became Hokage?"

"Uh..." Kakashi showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. After thinking about it, he could only nod awkwardly and explained in a low voice: "Probably, maybe, it can be said like this, right? Although people who are willing to do this , only the last member of the Uchiha ethnic group..."

The smile on Jiraiya's face, which was naturally revealed due to the outstanding performance of his disciple Namikaze Minato during his tenure, slowly disappeared.

"How come there is only one clan left? That is the Uchiha clan, which has been fighting with the Senju clan for thousands of years since before the birth of Konoha. Even during the turbulent times of the Warring States Period, it was one of the strongest clans!?

And even if the war started by Kirigakure has destroyed the village of Konoha, based on the unabashed interest in the blood of the Uchiha clan that Kaguya Rei showed during the negotiations, he would not be able to They will persecute the Uchiha clan until only one clan is left! ? "

At this point, Jiraiya began to realize that something was wrong.

Putting aside the younger-looking Hinata Hanabi, Hatake Kakashi should have completely experienced the rise of Kaguya Rei, right? According to Kaguya Rei's abnormal ambition and thoughts, no matter what he thinks after growing up, Hatake Kakashi should be one of the most important main forces in Konoha's resistance to Kirigakure's invasion, right?

But from the intelligence and information he revealed, he couldn't hear any news about Kirigakure's invasion. Even in the battle that created a peace that later made Hatake Kakashi slack off, he didn't hear any news at all about Kirigakure's invasion. I just used the word "lost in a dream" which I don't know what to say...

"It seems that you have noticed something, Jiraiya-sama."

Seeing Jiraiya's expression gradually becoming heavier, Hatake Kakashi sighed, put away the relaxed expression on his face, and said slowly:

"The future that Hanabi and I come from does not seem to be a continuation of the timeline you are in, but another future that has gone in a completely different direction..."

"And the point of difference between the two worlds is most likely the Kirigakure boy named Rei Kaguya whom Hanabi met when she was first thrown into this era."

…

Over the abandoned town.

Nagato's shadow clone raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Kaguya Rei beside him who was using the Wind Release and Wind-shrouding Sound Technique to eavesdrop on the conversation of the three people below, and said meaningfully:

"Don't you think that according to those two people from the future, you are the son of prophecy that truly fits the prediction of the Great Toad Sage, Rei Kaguya?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Kaguya Rei turned her head and glanced at Nagato, and asked strangely:

"If I am not the child of the prophecy, I cannot bring about changes in the ninja world? How can the path I have chosen be shaken by such words?"

"Don't overestimate the importance of reincarnation, prophecy, fate and the like, Nagato. Although a person's destiny will be affected and bound by the development of history, what can really determine the outcome of our lives is our own personal destiny. struggle……

If I tell you with all my heart that you are just a tool prepared by the Immortal of Six Paths for his own resurrection, that these samsara eyes do not belong to you, and that your destiny has already been secretly arranged, would you? Will you abandon your Akatsuki companions and ideals and follow their arrangements? "

"No." Nagato shook his head firmly.

"Then so do I."

Kaguya Rei shrugged and continued to devote his attention to eavesdropping on the conversation between the three people below.

However, he also entered the state of immortality at the same time, and adjusted his body to the most suitable position for launching a surprise attack downwards.
