Haori always had a complex feeling about the situations, experiences, and eventual fates of the original characters.
Trying to change their destinies? Sorry, there's a small question here. Haori simply doesn't know how the plot unfolds.
It's all a completely unfamiliar development. How can he interfere and change it?
For example, a ninja like Rin, who is closer to him, Haori knows that she might die in this war, but what can he do?
He can't do anything.
He only knows the ending, but he doesn't know the process leading to the ending… It's a painful thing. In a way, knowing half the story is worse than knowing nothing at all.
He only has some impressions of events like the Nine-Tailed attack. For the rest, he doesn't know what he doesn't know.
Take Obito Uchiha, a key character, for example. Haori knows that he will later become one of the main villains, but what can he do? With Obito's personality now, there's no sign of that at all. Directly killing him "for no reason"? Impossible. It wouldn't make any sense.
Who has ever seen a villainous boss who was almost taken down by a hunter's animal trap?
Or maybe he should remind Rin or Minato to be careful when carrying out missions, otherwise, they might die if they're not careful.
But he really doesn't need to give this kind of reminder. Because on the battlefield, every ninja is careful, striving to make sure they don't make any mistakes.
In war, Rin might die.
In war, many ninjas might die.
In war, every ninja might die.
Haori is also a ninja. He might die too. There are no exceptions.
Death is the most common thing in war. If possible, Haori would certainly hope that a girl like Rin could survive.
Maybe the timeline will change with time, maybe it won't. No one can say for sure.
As long as you're still within the ninja system, you must obey the rules of ninjas. During wartime, every ninja has their own mission. Haori can't stay by Rin's side to protect her. Even Minato, who is in the same squad, can't do that, let alone Haori, whose front lines are not even together.
Whether you admit it or not, there's actually something called fate at work here. In the face of this word, Haori's identity as a time traveler often doesn't work either. He's not a prophet. He faces more unknowns about the future. This is no different from many of the original characters.
He can't possibly end the war on his own. Ninjas like Haori are just a small part of the war. Even characters like the Sannin, Minato, or even the Hokage are just cogs in a giant war machine.
In terms of the limit of combat power, Haori does have a bit of a BUG. But his BUG level is far from being able to destroy the heavens, earth, and air. Compared to some of the characters in the original work who have ridiculously high combat power, Haori is nothing. In fact, compared to them, Haori is really just a "normal" ninja.
He won't be naive enough to think that he can be arrogant just because he has a bit of a cheat. On the contrary, he's very careful, and he's also very powerless.
This world isn't that simple. Tailed beasts can kill most ninjas, and a small number of ninjas can kill tailed beasts. When Haori can face a tailed beast head-on by himself, then we'll talk about other things.
And who can guarantee that this world is exactly as depicted in the original work? Maybe there are things hidden deeper?
Haori is a very optimistic person, but the more optimistic people appear, the more likely they are to have a pessimist living inside them.
Like now, he's powerless to stop something that's about to happen.
On the fifth day after the Leaf Village ninja army stayed in the Land of Wind, the fourth day after Suna's defeat, the Kazekage sent an envoy here.
The purpose is obvious: to sue for peace.
Yes, Suna has sued for peace. They have sincerely sued for peace. As the Hokage said, the war on this front has ended.
Of course, to prevent the peace talks from becoming a mere formality, both sides are diligently sending out their first negotiating teams. The Hokage, of course, wouldn't appear for this initial contact. The Kazekage on the other side wouldn't either.
Once the basic conditions are negotiated, a meeting between the two Kage will begin.
But before a peace agreement is reached, the Leaf Village ninja force won't withdraw from the Land of Wind. This is the strength of the victor. The Leaf Village's military power is a bit of a threat. Signing this peace agreement is a bit like a treaty of surrender for Suna.
But these aren't Haori's main concerns. He has nothing to do with this major negotiation.
At this time, Tsunade has fulfilled her promise. She has persisted in completing her mission in this Shinobi World War. Although the Hokage's direct forces joined later, the war on this front has finally ended, and the Leaf Village is the victor.
Then, the last Senju active on the battlefield is about to leave the Leaf Village.
In fact, since the battle ended that day, Tsunade has already been handing over her work. This is a sign that she's leaving the Leaf Village. Now that Suna has sued for peace, she should leave.
The Third Hokage must have opposed and persuaded Tsunade. The Leaf Village in the Shinobi World War desperately needs the Slug Princess.
But Tsunade is determined to leave. Even the Third Hokage couldn't force her to stay, considering that she was both his disciple and the granddaughter of the First Hokage.
Tsunade is decisive. She decided to leave early this morning. And because of Tsunade's personal wishes and other reasons, no one came to see her off.
Except for Haori.
"Does Tsunade-sama have a place in mind to go after leaving the battlefield? Now, except for the Land of Fire, all four sides are enemy countries. With your status, you should be more careful." Haori said.
Tsunade is indeed a powerful ninja, but there's a saying: Two fists can't fight four hands. The Sannin aren't invincible.
Although they haven't spent much time together, Haori still likes people with Tsunade's personality.
"Don't worry about me. My disguise techniques are the strongest in the ninja world. No one can recognize me if I want to." Tsunade said with a smile.
(ShixT9: With those badonkers, someone will recognize you from a mile away lmao)
When she really leaves the Leaf Village, will Tsunade have any regrets? Certainly. In fact, although the ninja world is vast, she has nowhere to go.
To put it nicely, she will travel around from now on. To put it bluntly, she is now homeless… After her brother and lover died, she had no one to rely on and was homeless.
The Leaf Village, for her right now, although she has regrets, it's not worth cherishing anymore.
