Chapter 108: Changes and the Group of Children
"In the end, I feel that saving Tobirama didn't have as big an impact as accidentally saving Uchiha Kagami..." Masahiko shook his head with a bitter smile.
Ten years ago, Masahiko had accidentally saved Uchiha Kagami, who had jumped off a cliff. Two years ago, Uchiha Kagami succeeded as the Head of the Uchiha Clan. Under his efforts, the Uchiha clan had become somewhat different...
"In this way, it feels like the Uchiha won't reach the point of extermination no matter what. Although it is a good thing, what about my Witness Points..." Masahiko's original plan was to find a way to save the Uchiha in the future to gain Witness Points for drastically changing the plot. Now that he had indirectly saved them, those Witness Points had flown away.
"Moreover, there is an even more troublesome matter..." Masahiko sighed.
Because Tobirama didn't die and due to Mito's strength, Konoha had taken every advantage in the First Great Ninja War, facing almost no adversity. Two people who should have died in the First War had survived.
"Of course, I'm not cursing you to die, but this makes things very difficult for me..." The two people who didn't die were Orochimaru's parents. Without their deaths, Orochimaru wouldn't embark on the path of researching immortality, which made Masahiko feel that the Naruto world would lose a great deal of fun.
"No, I have to think of a way..." Masahiko sighed. He still had many things he wanted the future Orochimaru to help him achieve; he was even thinking about resurrecting Hashirama in the Fourth War...
"Fortunately, despite so many changes, the plot characters were still born one by one."
Year 15 of Konoha: Uchiha Kagami's nephew was born, named Uchiha Fugaku.
Year 19 of Konoha: The Hyuga Brothers (Hiashi and Hizashi) were born.
Year 20 of Konoha:Uchiha Mikoto was born.
Year 23 of Konoha: The new Ino-Shika-Cho generation was born...
"In this way, the plot hasn't completely collapsed. I guess some events will still happen..." Masahiko could only comfort himself this way.
While he was thinking, he suddenly felt a familiar chakra approaching. Masahiko revealed a helpless expression.
"Grandpa Masahiko, I succeeded!"
The visitor was Yuna, now seventeen years old. She had perfectly inherited Yiko's talent and was now a... Chunin. For some reason, around the age of ten, this child came into contact with the Uzumaki Clan's Chakra Diffusion Cannon once, and from then on, she couldn't stop and became obsessed with scientific research...
Beside her followed a black-haired boy about ten years old. Seeing Masahiko, he also shouted, "Great-Grandpa!"
This boy was Hashirama's second son, named Senju Dōzan.
Compared to Kenji, who was more like Mito, Dōzan was more like Hashirama in both personality and talent, possessing an enviable physique. In Masahiko's words, "I've been through so much for so many years and my Yang Release is only Level 8. It can't compare to having a good father. The current Dōzan probably already has Level 5 or 6 Yang Release. When he fully matures, even if he doesn't reach the Sage Body, he will likely have Level 8 proficiency."
"Yuna, didn't I tell you to go visit Konoha a while ago?"
Yuna sighed helplessly. "I went. And look, I brought Dōzan back with me..."
Beside her, Dōzan laughed heartlessly.
For some reason, ever since Dōzan met Yuna once when he was four or five years old, he had loved clinging to her.
"Love at first sight? or lack of motherly love?" Masahiko laughed secretly. He always felt that all Mito could give Dōzan was grandmotherly love...
"You went to Konoha; did you see Sakumo?" Masahiko teased.
Yuna blushed. "Grandpa, if you say that again, I'll get angry! I just looked around Konoha's Weaponry Department, got some inspiration, and hurried back to make a new weapon."
"Oh? A new weapon?" Masahiko looked surprised. "Is there a finished product?"
Masahiko had no hope for Konoha's scientific research capabilities. Over the years, they kept increasing the power of the Chakra Diffusion Cannon without researching how to reduce consumption.
He heard that the latest model had the power of a Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, but when Tobirama tested it personally, it drained his chakra clean after just two shots. It was completely useless.
On the Uzumaki side, with Masahiko offering pointers from time to time, there had been some progress, but not much.
Yuna smiled and took out a storage scroll from her bosom. After unsealing it, a strange-looking object appeared in front of Masahiko.
Masahiko frowned and picked it up, weighing it. It wasn't too heavy. But this shape... what should he call it? A Hand Cannon?
Masahiko fumbled with it a couple of times, immediately found the place to transmit chakra, pointed it at the sea, and fired!
"Grandpa!" Yuna's shout came from the side. Masahiko looked bewildered; he realized he was sitting on the ground.
Rubbing his shoulder, Masahiko smiled bitterly and stood up.
Yuna looked guilty. Masahiko was helpless. "What is this thing? The power is okay; it has the lethality of a Rasengan, consumes little chakra, and is long-range. But... this recoil almost killed this old man."
"It's not finalized yet... And isn't it very useful? You just fell down once. For such power, it's worth it."
Masahiko sighed. "I fell down, but do you dare to try it? Only your Uncle Kento can use this cannon of yours. Don't even think about anyone else."
"Great-Grandpa, I will definitely be able to use Sister Yuna's weapon in the future!" Dōzan spoke up from the side.
Masahiko was speechless. This kid was too biased towards Yuna. How did Hashirama's second son turn into a Sister-Complex? The Naruto world felt like a world of Brother-Complexes, and now there was a Sister-Complex too...
"However, for Yuna to make this, she really has some talent in research." Masahiko thought to himself, should I pair her up with Orochimaru?
"Er, better not..." Just as he thought this, several more chakra fluctuations approached rapidly.
"Tsunade and Nawaki? And the two beside them..." Masahiko had some guesses and was slightly excited.
Sure enough, as they got closer, Masahiko saw the teenage Jiraiya and Orochimaru for the first time.
"Great-Great-Grandpa, I'm here! Didn't you say last time you wanted to meet my two teammates? I brought them."
Masahiko nodded and acknowledged them.
"Great-Great-Grandpa, I'm here too." Nawaki ran over and greeted Masahiko.
Before Masahiko could reply, Nawaki saw Yuna standing to the side, shouted "Sister!", and ran over.
Masahiko really didn't understand why Yuna was so popular with children, especially the Senju children.
Coming back to his senses, Masahiko looked directly at the young Jiraiya and young Orochimaru before him.
The fourteen-year-old Orochimaru was somewhat handsome, aside from his pale skin. Facing Masahiko, he politely said, "Hello."
Jiraiya, on the other hand, looked like "I am the greatest."
"Orochimaru, why greet him? If it weren't for Tsunade, I wouldn't care about meeting any Great-Great-Grandpa. We came to this ghost place, and now we've seen him. Let's go back!" He looked anxious to go back and save the world.
Masahiko's face darkened, and he muttered in his heart, "Step one of training the Sannin: Start by teaching Jiraiya manners..."
