Naruto Shadow Mage

 “Assassination of Hokage?”

 “Assassinate Sarutobi-sensei? Off-road, are you kidding me?”

Even though the ambition of the Third Hokage was gone, Orochimaru's words were full of disappointment. He did not use the title "teacher" at first, and directly called the Third Hokage Old Man Sarutobi. However, when he really heard about the proposal to kill the Third Hokage from Cross Country, Orochimaru was still stunned for a long time before taking a deep breath and looking at Cross Country with disbelief. It's like a monster, or it's the first time you're introduced to off-roading.

 Obviously, Orochimaru has always felt that he underestimated the capabilities of cross-country.

 Because he, one of the dignified Sannin, had never thought about assassinating the Third Hokage in order to preserve the friendship between teacher and student.

Off-road, who understands the plot of the original work, knows that as the Third Hokage aged, he became increasingly dull and timid. In the original plot, the Konoha collapse plan that occurred during the Chunin Exams was actually Orochimaru's strategy to stifle the Third Hokage in his memories because he couldn't stand the fatuousness of the elder Third Hokage.

 But now, the friendship between teachers and students is still preserved, and Orochimaru would never have thought of such a thing as assassinating Hokage.

Therefore, when Orochimaru questioned Cross Country and asked him if he really wanted to assassinate the Third Hokage, Cross Country just put on a mysterious smile, and soon the heroic Orochimaru slowly put away the expression on his face. smile.

 “Off-road, I found that you grew up really fast.”

"In the past, I would never have heard this from your mouth. Because you are thinking about the Nara clan, or your relatives, and your bond in the Leaf Village. You are You must never have the idea of ​​assassinating old man Sarutobi. But now that you have grown up, emotions can no longer restrain you. A tiger is a real tiger when it loses its shackles. What you did was not wrong, but it was me who was wrong. "

“So please give me some time to understand the shackles on my body.”

“As long as I can remove the shackles and assassinate old man Sarutobi, count me in!”

 “I want to be with you.”

 “Kill the Third Hokage!”

 After saying that, Orochimaru's figure hurriedly disappeared in front of the cross country, not running away, but leaving confidently.

Off-Road believes that as long as Orochimaru can really remove the shackles on his body as he said, then he will have a 80% chance of working with Orochimaru to assassinate the aging Third Hokage.

And the idea of ​​cross-country wanting to assassinate the Third Hokage, was it really a figment of imagination, or was it based on Orochimaru's idea in the original plot?

Is it true that Off-Road, as Orochimaru said, forgot about the bond in Konoha Village, forgot about the care of Shikaku and others, and forgot about the danger of the Nara clan?

No!

　　On the contrary, it was Cross Country who was more and more concerned about Shikaku and other acquaintances, and who valued the survival of the Nara clan more and more, that he hoped to get rid of the Third Hokage. Don't forget that the third generation Hokage and Tsunade Hime are the only two people left in the ninja world who know how to use the Nara Seal. For a while, Tsunade-hime will not be able to return to Konoha Village. Even if he returns to Konohagakure, there is a certain friendship between Cross Country and Tsunade-hime, and it is possible to save Shikaku, Choza, Haiichi, and the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamazaka tribes from her hands. .

　　On the contrary, the Third Hokage is completely like a time bomb.

 Since it is a bomb, why not get rid of it?

Furthermore, as long as we can get rid of the Third Hokage, are we afraid that Orochimaru can't disguise himself as the Third Hokage and take over the Leaf Village?

　　followed by.

After Orochimaru left, Cross Country trained with Gaara for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, he was ready to go to Konoha Village and take Gaara for a sumptuous dinner.

However, Cross Country wanted to reward Gaara, but Gaara didn't have the physical strength to enjoy it.

Although Gaara is the jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku, his current physical fitness is still incomparable with that of the Uzumaki clan!

 Faced with delicious food, Gaara ate very little.

After a hurried dinner, Cross Country saw that Gaara couldn't hold on any longer, so he immediately took Gaara back to his residence. He also created a shadow clone to protect Gaara, and he was preparing to go back to the Nara clan to see him. look.

How long?

 It has been nearly three years, and Cross Country has not returned to Konoha Village.

It’s been a long time since I came back, but I haven’t even gone to inform Lujiu. I really feel guilty for going off-road.

But even when he was going cross-country, he never imagined that his unintentional trip would once again change the history of the original plot.

 As to the reason

 That has something to do with what he saw and heard on the way back to the Nara clan across the country.

For three years, even without any disguise, Cross Country believed that with his current appearance, few ninjas in Konoha Village would be able to recognize his identity. In addition, all the meridians were broken, and there was no chakra fluctuation on his body. He used his coat to cover up the Nara clan's emblem. He wore a black kimono, wore wooden clogs, casually tied his hair into a ponytail, and walked towards the Nara clan step by step. .

However, not long after Cross Country left Gaara, a thin and dirty figure suddenly appeared, causing Cross Country's pupils to shrink slightly.

His hair color is golden yellow, a golden yellow that is familiar to off-roaders.

 But who can recognize that it is golden hair when it is covered in mud?

  It’s almost the same as a head of black hair!

His pupils are blue, like jewel-like blue.

 But his eyes were dim and lifeless, filled with despair.

The eyes that were originally sapphire blue now look like a corpse with a deathly gray color!

Seeing that the protagonist in the original plot, who was supposed to be the prince-like Uzumaki Naruto, was bullied into this state at a young age, I really wanted to ask the Third Hokage and Jiraiya, how do you take care of Minato? The teacher's son?

 If nothing else, let’s just talk about what happened to the footprints on Uzumaki Naruto?

 With the Third Hokage, and you, one of the three ninjas, Jiraiya, taking care of you, is this how the heroes of Konoha Village are treated?

Or

 A child who has lost his father or his mother, do you have no intention of taking care of him?

Burned with rage, Crossroads felt his heart filled with fire at this time, and slowly walked towards Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto, who was originally blind-eyed, first showed a look of fear when he saw Cross Country walking around. Obviously, that was the shadow left by being bullied every day. Naruto Uzumaki was afraid that Cross Country was here to bully him, so the fear in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

However, Uzumaki Naruto never expected that after he squatted down, he gently rubbed his hair, and there was no punch or kick as he imagined.

 The light of hope slowly lit up in his dim eyes.

Uzumaki Naruto, who had been ignored for a long time, felt the warmth in the cross-country hand and asked timidly: "Uncle, who are you?"

"me?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xue Yu's mouth, but there was an unusual pain in his heart.

Step forward and hug Uzumaki Naruto tightly, while looking out of the corner of his eye at the disgusted looks cast by the civilians of Konoha Village around him.

 As the smile on his lips grew stronger, his eyes suddenly became colder.

　　However, in front of Uzumaki Naruto, Cross Country covered up his murderous intention very well. Immediately, while hugging Uzumaki Naruto tightly, Cross Country took a deep breath and slowly said something that Uzumaki Naruto would never forget.

"Little Naruto, I am not your uncle, but your senior brother and your relative."

“Remember, as long as your senior brother is with you, no one in the world can bully you.”

 “Now I’ll take you to have a good meal and take a bath, and after that”

“Senior brother will train you well and make you the most respected person in this village! Become a member of Konoha Village.”

 “Hokage!”
