Chapter 768: If You Don't Die, You'll Be Uncomfortable [I]
Fortunately, Naruto's "cheating father" behavior inadvertently this time, although there are pros and cons, but for the overall development of history, it can be regarded as more beneficial than disadvantageous.
As for why I say that, the reason is simple......
First of all, the most intuitive point is that Itachi was able to attribute the credit for defeating the group's conspiracy to Watergate in a suggestive way, all of which is based on the premise that Itachi has a clear memory of this experience.
After all, Naruto, who has been kept in the dark and relied on the general plot of the original book as a reference, never thought that Itachi preserved this memory, for today's Naruto world, it is not to destroy the historical process, but to maintain the natural development of history, and it is an inevitable event that needs to be faced!
In other words, if Itachi had been completely erased from this memory to ensure the integrity of the so-called historical progress, as Naruto and the others had hoped, he would definitely not be able to recall which force he had been ambushed by in this alley. And in this alley, in addition to Itachi himself, only the corpses of the members of the Root Organization can be found, and with the shameless personality of Tuan Zang's unscrupulous means, he will inevitably make a big fuss and forcibly distort the death of the members of the Root Organization into a "glorious sacrifice" to protect Itachi!
At that time, even if Fuyue didn't believe that Tuan Zang, an old fox who only cared about his own interests, would sacrifice a lot of his henchmen for the sake of other people's children, he had to accept this "truth" without ironclad evidence. Even with this as an opportunity, it is not impossible for the Uchiha clan to get close to Tuan Zang, or even directly choose to support Tuan Zang, and completely disrupt the course of history!
In addition, it is worth mentioning that because of the third ninja war, although it may break out at any time, but from the moment alone, it has not really unfolded, so that Mizuto and Fugaku, the best friends who exist like a copy of the two of them, now retain a friendship that is only to the extent of nodding friends.
Under this premise, because Itachi deliberately concealed Naruto's name, most people in the know tacitly agreed that it was Watergate who took action to protect Itachi. Even with the resourceful Watergate himself, after getting the news, he guessed that it was his precious son who did a good thing, and took over the "black cauldron" quite tacitly, so that Fuyue, who had nothing to do with it, began to contact and interact with the Watergate couple more and more frequently in private with his wife in his personal name out of gratitude and pure desire to repay his gratitude. So much so that the emergence of this pair of irreversible friends, in a sense, is thanks to the two respective children, who secretly assisted and promoted!
Of course, as mentioned earlier, the impact of Itachi's explanation is not all good......
For example, after learning that Itachi was safe and sound, and thinking with his toes, he could guess that this must be because Tuan Zang was behind the ghost, so that Tuan Zang not only lost his carefully cultivated subordinates, but also had to bow his arrogant head in the face of this turbulent situation, and while asking the three generations of Hokage to mediate, he personally went to apologize to Fugaku!
And this price, for the good face - or, to be precise, to maintain a positive personal image and personality, so that he can run for the next Hokage - can be said to be a loss of his wife and soldiers! So much so that in the short term, Danzo had to temporarily put aside the idea of doing something to Itachi because of the losses suffered by the root organization and the exposure of his ambitions. But it was precisely because of this defeat that Danzang hated the Uchiha clan even more!
At the same time, because everyone believed that it was Watergate who had ruined their good deeds, and Watergate, the "party", was asked about it intentionally or unintentionally afterwards, it was also generously admitted, so that because Watergate was apprenticed to Jiraiya, he was considered to have joined the Hokage faction, and seeing that Watergate, a rising star, was not pleasing to the eye, he "paid more attention" to Watergate. Even in the incident of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the reason why Tuan Zang chose to stand by and not support Mizumon is that once Mizumon is killed and sacrificed, it is a good time for Tuan Zang to fight for the Hokage place, and the existence of this personal enmity and old hatred is also inseparable!
In this way, it was mistaken by the two of them that this was just an accidental episode of a trivial matter, and it can be said that it was a mistake that laid the general change in the follow-up forces of Konoha Village! And just as Naruto had guessed at first......
Rather than saying that Naruto and the others are time traveling, it is to change the regrets that have been left behind in history......
It's better to say that just like the Watergate couple, only by surviving from the beginning can they leave their lifelong learning to the newborn Naruto, completely as a member of the development of history, following the elusive guidance of fate, intentionally or unintentionally, participating in and completing the process of history!
……
Time passed quickly, and the three days that Naruto and Hachiki Sakumo had agreed on, which was not long or short, soon came to an end.
During this period, because of the medicine given by Naruto to Hachiki Shuomao, Hachiki Shuomao was as recorded in history, and in the public perception, he "committed suicide and apologized" "unbearable humiliation", but also successfully saved his life.
Of course, because Danzo is just like Hachiki Sakushige's guess, he just wants Hachiki Sakushige, a threatening rival, to die, but he doesn't care about the life or death of young Kakashi, so that Kakashi completely lost the protection and companionship of his father and mother [Kakashi's mother died earlier than Hachiki Sakushige] because of Hagi Sakumo's death. But because of the loss of the "use value" that can be used as a hostage to hold Hachiki Sshoshige hostage, Kakashi, who is no longer remembered by the group, can be said to be safe and worry-free in the growth environment.
At the same time, because Qimu Shuomao gained a lot of infamy and cold eyes under the impetus of Tuanzang, it is an unchangeable fact that although Qimu Shuomao was "alive", he had made great contributions to the village. But in order to avoid suspicion and not let himself become the object of discussion on the cusp of the next storm, the funeral held by Qimu Shuomao "after his death" was extremely cold and inconspicuous due to the scarcity of participants. Naruto, who was hiding in the shadows and watching all this silently, couldn't help but sigh secretly......
But all the heroes who have dedicated their lives to the village, whether it is Qimu Shuomao or their parents, the ending can be said to be particularly bleak. Even his own children have not been able to get the preferential treatment that the village deserves...... 18
In this case, the cheap title "hero" is meant to express gratitude and praise......
Or is it another ironic term coined by the people in power in Konoha Village, or even the villagers of Konoha Village, who are powerless and can only rely on others for protection, to fool others into risking their lives for their own interests?
It's just that the emotion is emotional, but not many people attended the funeral of Hachiki Shuomao, and even not many people deliberately cared about and paid attention to the trend of where the "corpse" of Hachiki Shuomao was buried, which is undoubtedly a convenient good news for Naruto and his party who are responsible for "collecting the body" of Hachiki Shuomao. So much so that as soon as the front foot of the funeral was held, Naruto on the back foot dug up the coffin containing the "corpse" of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru directly from the ground.
Of course, in order to avoid the suspicious nature of the group, someone will be sent to check the "corpse" of Hachiki Shuo Shigeru, so that Naruto in the coffin, Hagi Shuo Shigeru, who is still in a state of suspended animation, will first put it into the stomach of the Toad, and by the way, from the stomach of the Toad, the corpse of the Root Organization member who was similar to the body of the Root Organization member who was specially teleported to the side of Naruto's shadow clone in order to protect the young Itachi and the members of the Root Organization was taken out. And then on the other hand, it was slightly retouched and camouflaged to make its appearance closer to that of Hagi Shiroshige, so that instead of Hagi Sao Shigeru himself, he was put into the coffin. While recovering the coffin board, the coffin containing "Qimu Shuomao" was buried back in the grave, completing the insurance measures of stealing beams and replacing columns!
And after doing all this, the active period of the dragon vein is almost approaching. So much so that Naruto and the Mizumen couple finally stayed for a night with a smile and a smile, and then under the slightly reluctant gaze of the Mizumen couple, with the help of the teleportation mark that Naruto had left in the ancient kingdom of Loulan in advance, they returned directly to the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
Of course, although only four or five days have passed since Naruto and his party left. But when Sara made up her mind to take the entire people of the ancient kingdom of Loulan to a safer place to live, so as not to suffer the scourge of the imminent outbreak of war, it was enough to prepare everything necessary for the great migration in the tense preparations that mobilized the whole people. Even when Naruto and his party appeared in front of Sara again, this girl who met for the first time and still had a bit of immaturity had begun to gradually show the majesty that a queen of a country should have in the tempering of scheduling and arrangement in the past few days!
"Ah, you're here, and you're really on time!"
Fortunately, even Sarah's external temperament has quietly begun to change and grow. But when facing Naruto and his party, who are enough to be called the heroes of Loulan Kingdom, he didn't hold a high-ranking queen shelf, and he still looked like an approachable girl. After handing over the finishing work to the minister next to him, Sara, who was free, bent her eyes and smiled, and asked in person without hesitation.
"How's it going, is it all done?"
"If nothing else, so to speak...... Although after meeting some people, I will be a little reluctant to leave. ”
At the same time, because Sara did not hesitate to trust and was willing to give up the ancient country of Loulan and embark on the difficult journey of moving the whole country under the advice of Naruto, who was still only a "stranger" in the strict sense, Naruto also gave 100% trust to the girl in front of him. So much so that while Wen Sheng responded, Naruto also reached into the ninja bag and handed over two special kunai in the three-pronged style created by his father to Sarah.
"As we agreed before, after we leave, I'll trouble you to insert one of these kunai into the core of the dragon vein. At that time, I will be able to activate the sealing formation I have arranged, and completely seal the energy of the dragon vein, so as to avoid being used by others...... As for this other kunai, let's take it as a gift before we leave. Maybe, one day in the future, we will have the opportunity to meet again with this gift~"
Between the words, the sealing formation mentioned by Naruto was naturally the one that was destroyed by Hundred Feet more than ten years later. And in order to prevent the sealing formation from taking effect, he will directly teleport his group back to the original timeline like the original plot, so that Naruto, out of the idea of being on the safe side, can only entrust the last step of the sealing formation to Sara after his group leaves first.
As for Naruto's extra gift of kunai, it is indeed the same as the literal meaning, for the sake of his group's friendship with Sarah, leaving a possibility of meeting again......
What, you said Naruto vs. Sarah, would there be other intentions?
Are you kidding! Not to mention for the time being, in Naruto's heart as a wife-protecting maniac, there is only the existence of a precious daughter-in-law like Hinata......
You must know that although Sara looks like a slim girl now, in terms of generation, Sara is not much younger than Naruto's mother, Kushina! So much so that unless he followed Naruto through time and space to the "future" world like the Watergate couple, by the time Naruto returned to the "future" world, Sarado would have already changed from this playful and cute girl image to a weathered aunt!
In the face of such a significant age difference, Naruto, who thinks that he has no maternal fetish and no intention of stepping on two boats, will not have the slightest impure motive for Sarah. In addition, in the original theatrical version, there was a picture of Sara's descendants, so that sooner or later I will have a place to belong, and the friendship between Sara and Naruto who meets his true son does not contain any love between men and women at all.
And in addition to giving kunai, as a small gift to commemorate the wonderful friendship between everyone and Sara, because of the migration of the whole country, it is not an easy job after all, especially for the people of Loulan, who do not have the protection of the ninja village and rely on the use of dragon vein energy to protect themselves, once they leave this hometown where they have lived for generations, it will be like a piece of meat on the chopping board, which can only be slaughtered by others, so that Naruto reminded Sara that a certain amount of dragon vein energy should be stored in advance to facilitate the process of migration and building a new home. In addition to providing more convenience, it was decided to ......
Before heading to the next timeline, all the members, including Naruto, each left a shadow clone behind to escort Sara and the people of Loulan on this difficult migration journey!
