Kapitel 180: Road to Ninja Part 5
"Ino is a sadist?" Naruto murmured.
"Yup,"
"She goes beyond just torturing people physically,"
"She can use mind destruction ability to tease her victim's mind to her heart's content," Obito explained.
"Whoah…" Naruto was overwhelmed by the things he heard.
"Other than those two, your wife Sakura is pretty normal I'd say," Obito continued.
"And a great Hokage as well," Nawaki added.
Naruto looked at Obito.
"Please tell me everything I need to be aware of, so that she doesn't find out that I'm not Menma," Naruto pleaded.
"All right," Obito nodded, following which he started to explain about Sakura's life from what he had heard.
Naruto came to understand that Sakura, Ino, and Hinata hung out a lot as kunoichis of the same batch over the years. Tenten also entered the group after the end of the Chūnin exams. Sakura was the shy type while Hinata was outspoken and the kind who stood for justice. Ino, on the other hand, enjoyed having control over things, which made it hard for Shikamaru and Chōji on the team, nevertheless, the trio did stay as teams until they became jōnins and went off on their own. Of course, when the situation called for it, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio would assemble once again.
Tenten was a weapon master and also ran a dojo alongside Lee. Tenten was a dojo master and even a weapons shop owner at the same time.
"Let's talk about the guys in your group," Obito suggested.
"Sasuke is married to Hinata as you know,"
"He's unofficial police, more like a law-enforcement officer outside the law," Obito said.
Naruto smiled, seeing that it was Sasuke's role always to protect the village from the outside in this timeline as well.
"Any criminals, who find loopholes in the justice system to escape, Hinata sends Sasuke after them," Nawaki said.
"Wow, that's a great idea…" Naruto nodded.
"Next up, Menma,"
"You are Akatsuki's leader and have helped all villages be in a peaceful relationship with each other,"
"Your partner in the Akatsuki was Deidara,"
"Currently, apart from you, Uchiha Itachi is also in the organization," Obito explained.
"Wow, Aniki is here too, huh?" Naruto murmured.
"Wait, you're in the Akatsuki?" Obito was confused seeing that Naruto mentioned that Akatsuki was a criminal organization in his world.
"No, No,"
"I'm on good terms with Deidara in my current timeline," Naruto explained.
"oh…" Obito nodded.
"Anyways,"
"Since you don't make any money in Akatsuki, you started running the lightning delivery service to compensate," Obito explained.
"Oh speaking of lightning delivery…" Nawaki reminded.
"Oh, that one…" Obito too was reminded of a certain something.
"What?" Naruto asked.
"Hehe, I've gotta say,"
"There's this story you've got to remember no matter what since that's what made your lightning delivery the service it is today," Obito said.
"Okay…" Naruto was all ears.
"Here's the thing,"
"When Menma started lightning delivery service all those years ago,"
"He did it exclusively to earn some money and help out Old man Teuchi," Obito explained.
"Oh, and then?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, back then Menma decided it was easier to use his father, Minato the Lightning Flash's techniques to make the deliveries lightning-quick,"
"Back then there was a sudden demand for home-delivered Ramens which made Ichiraku Ramen popular,"
"So another company saw a chance in the delivery business and invested in it," Obito explained.
"You mean, my Lightning Delivery?" Naruto asked.
"No,"
"You restricted your business to Ichiraku, so they tried to expand their reach in other areas," Obito explained.
"Ah, I see," Naruto nodded.
"So yeah,"
"Then came the war," Nawaki continued.
"A war?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah,"
"They came up with the strategy of a money-back guarantee,"
"Saying that if they didn't deliver within thirty minutes, the order was free," Obito said.
"What?" Naruto was shocked.
"Hoho, but that's not all," Nawaki said.
"Yeah,"
"Then there was this Wiz kid," Obito mentioned.
"Wiz kid?" Naruto asked.
"That's his username on ShinobiTube," Obito said.
"Oh…" Naruto nodded.
"Yeah,"
"But this kid was trouble," Nawaki chuckled.
"Trouble, in what way?" Naruto asked.
"He would do anything to get a lot of views,"
"So he started to prank the delivery service," Obito said.
"Yeah, and this kid's pranks went viral," Nawaki said with excitement.
"Yeah, Wiz kid wanted to see if he could get his things delivered without paying a single thing,"
"But in order to do so, he had to set up things on his side,"
"mm," Naruto nodded to indicate he was listening.
"So, he started to position his friends strategically on the delivery route to slow down the delivery,"
"Hehe," Naruto chuckled.
"What?" Nawaki asked.
"I used to be a great prankster too once upon a time," Naruto nodded thinking back to his times in the academy, spraying Graffiti over the Mountain faces.
"Did you ever earn money with your pranks?" Obito asked.
"Nope," Naruto shook his head.
"Well, this Wiz Kid gets paid if his videos are popular," Nawaki explained.
"WHAT?" Naruto stood up in shock.
"Yup,"
"The boy became an overnight idol, becoming popular on the news as well,"
"All while earning money and getting things for free, whereas the delivery company, on the other hand, were fuming with rage, since there weren't any laws that could help them recover the situation they were in," Obito explained.
"Whoah…" Naruto couldn't help but think that even his pranks were nothing but jokes in front of this kid.
"The delivery company suffered huge loses from the boy's prank. To the point that they had to turn towards Ninja postmen," Nawaki continued.
"NINJA POSTMEN?" Naruto was shocked.
There was once a time, Naruto and Jiraiya tried to stop them with all their might but the ninja postman they were after, never gave up and delivered the message that the two struggled to prevent from reaching.
"Yeah,"
"They paid the ninja postmen to deliver the items on their behalf," Obito explained.
"When the ninja postmen were employed this time around, Wiz kid couldn't prevent them like he had planned and ended up paying a lot," Nawaki said.
"But that didn't stop the kid, Both the kid and the people who watched him, wanted to bring the game to a new level," Obito said.
"So…"
"What happened?" Naruto asked.
"Well, Wiz kid and his large number of friends started to order small stuff with the same strategy of slowing down again," Nawaki said.
"The company knew about this operation, but they couldn't afford to have all the orders to be delivered by Ninja postmen," Obito said.
"In the end, they withdrew their guarantee," Nawaki explained.
"I see,"
"But what does this have to do with me?" Naruto asked.
"We are getting to that part,"
"But before that. You need to know that, since Menma was not involved in all this competition, his delivery was done with a ten-minute guarantee," Obito said.
"Of course, that's still a lot of time, since he just needs to teleport over to that place," Nawaki explained.
"So back then, Wiz kid who thought was undefeated saw a top comment in his video that told him that he hadn't tried to challenge your delivery service yet," Obito continued.
"…" Naruto could pretty much guess what happened next.
"He challenged Menma, huh?" Naruto asked.
"Damn right he did,"
"But he knew from his competition with the delivery company, he couldn't mess with a top-class ninja like you," Obito said.
"Yeah,"
"He ended up hiring ninjas to try and slow down the delivery of the ramen,"
"But he didn't know about how the Flying Thunder God technique worked so he ended up being blown away by Menma's sudden appearance within his compound walls," Nawaki explained.
"From that day on, The Lightning delivery service was flooded with requests from different vendors to become their official delivery service,"
"However, Menma turned them all down saying that the delivery service would instead do only special deliveries since he intended to work in the Akatsuki,"
"Nowadays, Minato takes care of in village delivery service, while you cover delivery to other nations," Obito explained.
"I see,"
"I am the leader of Akatsuki, and I do delivery service outside of the villages?" Naruto asked.
"Indeed," The duo nodded.
Naruto was now in a dilemma,
"Obito,"
"You told me you sent Menma somewhere else didn't you?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah,"
"This was the request of all the nations combined,"
"It's regarding the traces of the Ōtsutsuki clans," Obito said.
"Ōtsutsuki?"
"But the fourth ninja war didn't take place, right?"
"So how do you guys know about them?" Naruto asked.
"Ever since Sasuke's children were born, We have looked into records across the continent regarding the eyes they possessed,"
"One of the children, the boy possesses the Rinnegan," Obito said.
From what Naruto had heard, this seemed to be the first time the world had ever seen the appearance of the Rinnegan. This was because Sasuke hadn't unlocked the RinneSharingan since there wasn't a need for the fourth ninja war or for the Uchiha clan to be massacred. Nagato getting the Rinnegan in the first place was also impossible since Madara didn't fall out with Hashirama, or had his cells planted in, which pretty much erased almost all possibilities of the Rinnegan ever appearing throughout history until this.
"We also discovered some legends regarding the Sage of six paths and his other family members, so we are aware to a certain extent about the Ōtsutsukis," Obito explained.
"We found out the mother of the sage of six paths came from another planet," Nawaki explained.
"I see,"
"So you've sent Menma off on a mission to another planet," Naruto reiterated.
"Yes, that's where you come in Naruto,"
"Menma was always busy helping and saving the world,"
"He barely had the chance to be with his family,"
"And whenever he did, they seemed to misunderstand him," Obito said.
"I want you to help Menma,"
"What do you say, Naruto?" Obito asked.
