Chapter 35: The Butterfly Effect
"Ahem, ahem. ”
A deliberate whisper of coughing broke the warm atmosphere. Tsunade and Jiraiya turned their heads to look out the door at the same time, and in the hazy moonlight, a long-haired young man in a white kimono stood quietly holding the hand of a silver-haired little girl.
"Orochimaru? No, you're not him. You should be the "son" of Orochimaru mentioned by the old man, Yagamiki. A look of shock flashed across Jiraiya's face. The tense body immediately relaxed. Jiraiya supported the table with one hand, supporting his head, and turned into a reclining posture and watched Yagami Kirai playfully.
"What a nuisance. Yagami frowned, thinking in his heart.
"Sister Shizune, Shirahoshi has brought you a nice gift. Shirahoshi let go of the hand holding Yagamiki, ran to Shizune on his calves, and threw himself into her arms at once.
Shizune touched Shirahoshi's head, looking at the three Yagami with concern despite smiling eyes.
"Your Excellency is one of the three ninjas. I'm so lucky to have you here. ”
"Lucky, boy, I'm going to catch you and torture you to find out where Orochimaru is now. At the wine table, he said with a smile. Yagami turned his head to look at Tsunade, who had not spoken.
"Why don't you invite me for a drink? ”
"Hmph!" Tsunade didn't have a good impression of Yagami. She snorted and stood up. Jiraiya thought that Tsunade would punch the boy in front of him who didn't know the height of the sky, but he was surprised to see Tsunade take out a bottle of sake from the counter.
"Hey, Tsunade. Zilai couldn't help but make a noise.
Jiraiya sat down beside Jiraiya, and Yagami looked at the shadow-level powerhouse beside him calmly.
Yagami Qi's boldness surprised Jiraiya. According to what he thought, Yagami Ki would either turn his head and run away in the face of him, or he would be so vigilant that he pulled out kunai and showed his canine teeth like a puppy staring at a tiger, trembling.
"Have a drink?" Jiraiya, who knew that Yagami and Tsunade were familiar with each other, asked Yagami.
"Hmm. Yagami agreed. So the small wine glass in front of him was filled with crisp sake.
Picking up the glass and drinking down the small glass, Yagami put the glass back on the table. At this time, Tsunade had already sat down in his seat with a bottle of wine, staring at Yagami with fierce eyes.
Shirahoshi and Shizune were talking in the corner, and Yagami could hear Shirahoshi chuckling from time to time. Turning his head, he saw that Shirahoshi was tiptoeing to put on the hairpin for the bent down silent band, his eyes were serious, and he adjusted the position of the hairpin with his hands.
Picking up the bottle, Yagami filled the glass in front of Tsunade with an apologetic smile on his face.
Tsunade cut off unhappily and drank the glass of wine anyway.
"Hey, boy. It's hard to live next to Orochimaru. Hiccup a wine burp, and asked without an image.
"It was really uncomfortable at first, but after getting used to it, I thought it was good. Taking a bite of the peanuts in front of him, Yagami said after chewing it.
"Well, you said it wasn't bad. Jiraiya's mouth opened wide.
"He's that person, but he doesn't blink an eye when he kills, and he has a bad taste for child abuse, and when he is quiet, he is as cold as a snake. ”
"I also like to do perverted and disgusting experiments. The corners of his mouth lifted upward, Yagami added. This was clearly to Jiraiya's appetite, and he laughed and patted Yagami on the shoulder hard.
"That's right, that's right. I felt like I had forgotten something. ”
"Speaking of Orochimaru, I'm here this time to bring you news about Orochimaru. Pulling away the hand that Jiraiya patted on the shoulder, Yagami said lightly.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and Jiraiya awkwardly put down the hand that was patting Yagami Ki's shoulder.
"He's got a strong arm. Through the simple act of patting the shoulder, I got some of the information about Yagami Kiki, and I thought about it.
After drinking a glass of sake, Yagamiki's cheeks also flushed a little, and he continued, "As far as I know, Orochimaru will make a move against Konoha in the near future. ”
"What!"
"What!"
Jiraiya and Tsunade's complexion became solemn at the same time.
"He's going to do it to Konoha anyway," Jiraiya whispered. Orochimaru's grim smile appeared in his mind for a moment, so clear.
'Orochimaru, what the hell are you going to do?'
Orochimaru called the plan the "Konoha Collapse Project" in the autumn of this year. So, it's time for you to go back. ”
"What about the details?" asked Tsunade loudly, fist against the table.
At this time, Shizune had already led Shirahoshi away, and there were only three people in the tavern, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Yagamiki.
"I don't know. Exactly this plan is being planned, no one knows. Or Orochimaru wasn't going to tell me. Also, to be polite to me, I am the one who has important information. Raising an eyebrow, Yagami said.
"You're my doctor, how can you murder a patient?"
Such scenes are so similar that the anger in Tsunade's eyes, who recalled the bad memories, flashed away, and then gradually relaxed.
"Why did you tell us the news. Frowning, he asked.
"For peace," Yagami said with a serious face.
After a while, he sneered, "What kind of expressions do you have?" I'm a lover of peace. ”
"Okay, okay. I want to borrow your hands to kill Orochimaru. It would be very inconvenient for me to have this person in the world. Are you satisfied with this reason? ”
For a moment, Tsunade and Jiraiya felt a coldness that penetrated deep into their bone marrow.
There was no hatred, no anger, and the young teenager in front of him could say such a thing as killing his "father" so plainly. If I'm not mistaken, the boy in front of me should have been raised by Orochimaru from a baby.
'Orochimaru, what kind of monster have you raised!'
"Tsunade, Jiraiya, three generations of Hokage. You can probably kill him. Yagami habitually tapped his fingers on the table.
"Whether to kill him or not is up to us. In front of Yagamiki, Tsunade said in a deep voice.
"Tsk~, this kind of mentality is not good. If you don't have the intention of killing Orochimaru, it's very likely that you will die at Orochimaru's hands. ”
Yagami said, staring at Tsunade.
Whew! The sharp fist exploded in disgust, and Tsunade threw a fist without warning.
Tsunade's immense strength tends to give the illusion that she isn't very fast. But in fact, Tsunade's punching speed is probably the fastest among the three shinobi.
Medical ninjas can't fall before their teammates, which has been premised on Tsunade's speed until the Yin Seal was created.
Influenced by Tsunade, the medical ninja's movement speed is very good.
Yagamiki's eyes widened, but at some point, Jiraiya, who was smiling, tacitly pressed Yagamiki's hands. If it goes on like this, it is inevitable that he will be punched by Tsunade.
With a bang, Yagami was knocked upside down and flew out with a loud sound.
"What?!"
Like a bird flying upside down, Yagami spread the chakra wings behind him, and his speed gradually suspended in the moonlight.
With his head slightly bowed, Yagami smiled at the two people who walked out of the brewhouse.
"Peacock Magic? It seems that you stole the star of the Star Ninja Village. Now you have a full 70 million underground bounty. Jiraiya looked at Yagami in the sky and smiled.
"Seventy million! Looks like I'm in big trouble. Hey, don't say anything. Yagami said jokingly.
"Jiraiya send me up!" Tsunade twisted his fist and brought a glittering blade.
"Huh, you've built weapons, that's not your style. Seeing the sharp mang on the blade of the fist, Zilai also shuddered. This kind of thing will definitely kill people if it is fought.
"You don't know, boxing alone doesn't work for him. ”
"Really?"
"He was remodeled by Orochimaru, and his body was as soft as dough. Disgusting!"
"Hey boy, if you do something wrong, admit your mistake. You'll die if you're hit with a fist like that. Raising his head, Jiraiya reminded Yagami.
"Yes, yes. I'm so sorry, Granny Tsunade!" Yagami said in a sincere tone.
Tsunade Po!
"Hey, Jiraiya!" his temples throbbed, and Tsunade glared at Jiraiya fiercely.
"Got it. He sighed helplessly, but Jiraiya quickly formed the seal in the next second.
"Ninja Method, Jizo Needle!"
The white hair stretched out and fluttered, and a few strands flew towards Yagami Ki but were lightly dodged. However, in an instant, Tsunade stepped on the long hair that flew in, raised his fist and punched Yagami.
Perfect cooperation, even for such a long time, has not faded away your tacit understanding?
The short blade clenched in his hand, and Yagami used his blade to meet Tsunade's fist blade.
The short knife spun and flew towards the big moon, and the moment the knife collided with the fist, the huge force caused Yagamiki's short knife to fly out of his hand. However, Yagami also used this huge power to quickly retreat, widening the distance between himself and Tsunade.
There is a limit to the length of hair elongation, and Tsunade stands on the hair floating in the air helplessly watching Yagami Ki flying leisurely at a safe distance.
"I haven't seen you for a while, and you're still so grumpy. Yagami first complained. And then he showed off like a little child.
"See the difference? Without waiting for Tsunade's answer, Yagami spoke to himself.
"The peacock magic method can't move your hands when you put the chakra outside, and you can keep the seal. But in fact, if you abandon the useless peacock magic method and focus on the control of the special chakra, you can free your hands. Although this will slightly diminish the subtlety of the control of the exotic chakra. ”
"The Star Ninja Village is really stupid, and it is the last thing to do. It was in my hands that the star really exerted its power. ”
Yagamiki's hair fluttered as he floated in the air.
"Shirahoshi will play with you for a few days, and I'll come back to pick her up in a few days. With a wave of his wings, Yagami left.
The elongated hair grew shorter, and Tsunade's feet lightly stepped on the ground.
"What do you think, Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked softly, standing beside Jiraiya.
"A kid who's as terrible as Orochimaru. "Looking up and the figure that is gradually flying away under the moonlight, Zilai also said.
He turned his head: "How is it, let's go back." Regardless of whether the situation really turned out to be the same for him, it was certain that Konoha would be in big trouble. ”
"Well, go back. I'm a little homesick. Turning around, Tsunade walked into the tavern.
"Come on, let's continue to drink, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk!"
"Good!" laughed, and said Jiraiya.
At this time, Konoha Ichiraku ramen restaurant.
"Iruka-sensei, your knife-shaved noodles!" "Slightly tiptoeing, Naruto brought a bowl of knife-shaved noodles to the table.
"Thanks, Naruto!" Iruka laughed.
Then, with Naruto's expectant expression, Iruka took a bite of the noodles, chewed slightly and swallowed.
"It's delicious~" Iruka said exaggeratedly, with a thumbs up.
"Hey, hey!" Naruto groped the back of his head as he looked embarrassed, but his mouth grinned wide.
"Naruto, come and help wash the dishes. ”
"Got it, Sister Calamus. In response, Naruto smirked at Iruka again and trotted into the back kitchen.
"Goodbye, Sister Calamus, Uncle Yile. ”
"Goodbye Naruto!"
Half an hour later, Naruto, who said goodbye to Ichiraku and Calamus, followed Iruka as he walked down the street.
"Naruto, you seem to be happy all the time. Do you feel sad sometimes. On the way, Iruka suddenly said.
"I'm sad. When Sasuke ignores me, the other kids don't play with me do feel sad. Naruto said with a smile
"And so. Iruka asked casually.
"Also, when the school is out, occasionally the children's parents come to pick them up. At that time, I thought????? It's lonely. ”
Naruto's voice lowered slightly.
"But now I have Uncle Irakoro, Sister Calamus, Brother Yagami, and Iruka-sensei!" suddenly raised his voice.
My heart was touched in that moment!
"Well, why did Iruka-sensei stop?"
"Ah, it's over for a walk. Naruto, are you ready for my special training? With one hand at the waist, her feet spread out, and the other thumb up, Iruka made the pose that Kai usually does.
"Hmm!" Naruto nodded happily.
"Target training ground, go!"
"Let's go!"
"Who's yelling! Don't let people sleep!" came a manic cry from the next room. "Hahaha???"
"I'm so sorry!" Iruka said immediately
Then, he and Naruto couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hahaha. ”
One big and one small, two figures running in the moonlight.
"Iruka. I'm going to give you a special mission. ”
"Three generations of adults, please command. ”
"I want you to take good care of Naruto and become his relative. ”
"Why?"
"I know you can't take it for a while, and your parents died in that disaster. You probably have a little bit of a grudge against Naruto. ”
"Three generations of adults!"
"I can tell you unequivocally that Naruto is not the embodiment of the demon fox. He was also a victim of that scourge!"
"That's right, I see. ”
It's like a butterfly flapping its wings, but it sets off a storm across the ocean.
Yagami changed everything with just a few words to Konoha and Miyo.
The old man, tormented by guilt, finally began to improve Naruto's life.
This day was supposed to be the day the plot began. Naruto, who wanted to get the attention of others, was supposed to run wild with a paint bucket under Iruka's chase after he had smeared the Hokage Rock in a mess.
Then he finished dinner alone and fell asleep lonely.
But now, he has finished his job as a helper at Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant and is training at the training ground with Iruka.
Yagami didn't know it, everything quietly changed!
