章 179: Road to Ninja Part 4
"Allow me to introduce, the grandson of the First Hokage,"
"Senju Nawaki," Obito introduced.
("Eh?")
("Granny Tsunade's younger brother?") Naruto was totally surprised this time, meeting a person who he had never seen in his timeline, a Hokage at that.
"What's going on?" Nawaki was surprised.
Obito then brought him up to speed on Naruto's situation.
"I see…" Nawaki nodded before finally turning towards Naruto.
"You are the spitting image of Menma," Nawaki complimented.
"Thanks," Naruto replied, taking another look at the Third Hokage of this timeline.
Obito looked at Naruto.
"Listen Naruto,"
"It's good that you have arrived,"
"Now, I can finally help Menma back," Obito smiled.
"Help Menma,"
"It'll be great if you guys could explain what's going on in here because I need some information before I can help out with anything," Naruto complained seeing that there was no end to Menma's problem.
"Don't worry Naruto,"
"We are here for you," Obito reassured.
"So where do you want to start?" Nawaki asked.
"Basic world history, followed by village history, the current situation of the village, any information about who I am and what I do…" Naruto listed out one by one.
"Oh boy, this is gonna take a while…" Obito sighed.
"For now, How about we drink," Nawaki suggested as he took the tray off of the waiter's hands which had their orders.
…
As the trio began to enjoy their order, Nawaki and Obito took turns explaining what happened in the world one by one, with Naruto stopping them in between to explain what had happened back in his timeline as well. Of course, Naruto avoided telling the fact that the world they lived in was actually a made-up world and not a real world, but he already knew that from the way they lived. The last time this happened, no one had figured out he came from another world.
Soon, Naruto came to understand how this world was shaped.
The world had gone through three great ninja wars. Currently, the Hidden Leaf was in more or less peaceful relationship with all the nations since settlements and trade expanded throughout the lands forcing Hidden villages to acknowledge one another. The only advantage it had was it didn't diminish the requirement of ninjas as compared to his previous timeline.
Naruto also specifically asked about Hashirama and Madara's situation, seeing that it had caused a massive problem in that world.
After Naruto had explained what happened back in his world, Nawaki and Obito sat with dumbfounded expressions, especially after Obito heard the part where he was enslaved by Madara's ideals which were, in fact, Zetsu's plans.
"That's…" Obito was left speechless.
Nawaki then looked at Naruto.
"In our world, the battle between the two clans were settled off peacefully,"
"The Uchiha and the Senju clan built the village together,"
"Hashirama took over as the Hokage for a few years with a promise that the Uchiha clan would be the next in line, seeing that the public wasn't really comfortable with the Uchihas just yet, while Hashirama already won the hearts of the people by stopping the battle," Nawaki explained.
"Once, Lord First's term was over, My ancestor, Madara took the position as the second Hokage,"
"By then it was already decided that the Senju will be in line once again, followed by another Uchiha," Obito explained.
Naruto finally understood why the village remained peaceful. This solution was a better approach, which also prevented Zetsu from executing his plan.
"So your clans took care of the village together, eh?" Naruto asked.
"Pretty much yeah,"
"If a Senju was the Hokage, the Uchihas were in charge of the police,"
"And vice versa," Nawaki explained.
"I see…"
"But, how did Sakura-chan become a Hokage?" Naruto asked.
"Oh, that?"
"It's a long story," Obito said as he downed a sip of Sake.
"Well, since you are not from this world, I guess I'll explain what happened to people from your batch and that of Might Guy's students,"
"First, Do you know about the legendary kunoichis?" Nawaki asked.
"Eh, Legendary Kunoichi's?"
"I only remember the legendary sanins," Naruto explained.
"Not my sister's team,"
"But these four,"
"Haruno Sakura, Hyūga Hinata, Yamanaka Ino and Tenten," Nawaki said.
"They are legendary?" Naruto was surprised.
"Yeah,"
"I guess, the two most troublesome ones were those two in particular," Obito sighed.
"Yup, those two are quite different," Nawaki nodded in agreement.
"Which ones?" Naruto asked.
"Hinata and Ino," Nawaki said.
"Hinata?" Naruto asked Hinata's name in particular.
"Oh, she was your wife in the previous timeline right,"
"I guess, we'd better start with her," Obito said.
"Yeah,"
"You see, Naruto,"
"Hinata is the current police chief of the Hidden Leaf,"
"Eh?"
"Police Chief?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, she's the one who started the woman empowerment movement," Obito laid back on his seat and looked at the ceiling.
"I think Obito can explain better, after all, I was busy back then as the Hokage," Nawaki said.
"Right, I saw it all,"
"She wouldn't stop going on about joining the police force to become the first woman chief,"
"Back then I used to work with Uchiha Fugaku, the previous police chief at that time," Obito said.
"Oh, Sasuke's old man, eh?"
"So, what happened?" Naruto asked.
"The girl, she would always scurry around the village looking for bad guys,"
"Just like I used to look around for people to help," Obito said.
"She would always end up catching people before the police caught up," Nawaki explained.
"And…" Naruto was interested in this version of Hinata.
"Well, it would always be awkward for us the police,"
"So we brought in one of our own who could give her a run for her money," Obito explained.
"Who was that?" Naruto asked.
"It's your teammate,"
"Uchiha Sasuke," Nawaki said.
"Sasuke?"
"Yeah,"
"But even he was no match for her," Obito said.
"Whoah," Naruto was in awe.
"Her sense of justice was powerful,"
"You could say she was more hungry than the rest of the guys at the department," Obito explained.
"Even your teammate, Sasuke fell for her as they competed," Nawaki said.
"Eh?"
"Sasuke and Hinata?" Naruto asked.
"Sad for you but yes, in this world they are a pair," Obito patted Naruto.
"…" Naruto was shocked.
"Cheer-up, she's still yours in your world of course," Nawaki joked.
"But you gotta admit, their story riled up support from the public to the point that both the Hyūga clan and the Uchiha clan gave in," Obito said.
"She became the chief of the police force and also married Sasuke," Nawaki concluded.
("Damn She's awesome…") Naruto was jealous. So jealous, he felt heartburn.
"Cheer-up Naruto,"
"Even Menma and Sakura had a story of theirs," Obito explained.
"…" Naruto's attention was grabbed.
"Well, in the beginning, it was like a normal story where you'd end up with a girl you like,"
"You see Sakura became the Hokage after Hinata and Ino persuaded her to," Obito explained.
"Eh?" Naruto looked at Nawaki.
"It was her dream to become one, but there was already a Senju in line for the next Hokage," Nawaki said.
"Hinata then took matters into her hand pointing her struggles to become a leader in this male-dominated society,"
"Eh?" Naruto was surprised once again.
"She said how it was the time for a change, and she thought Sakura was the best candidate to become the next Hokage," Obito explained.
"And…" Naruto was also hooked onto Sakura's story seeing that she was walking towards his dream.
"There was an overwhelming amount of support from all the woman in the leaf, including a few men as well whom Menma did his best to gather to support her goal," Nawaki said.
"So, in the end, the daimyō appointed her as the First Lady Hokage of the Hidden Leaf," Obito concluded the tale.
"wow, Sakura-chan is awesome as well…" Naruto murmured.
"Haha, Menma didn't want to be outdone by his wife, of course, so he became the leader of the Akatsuki," Obito said.
"Eh?"
"Leader of the Akatsuki?" Naruto asked.
"Indeed,"
"It's a non-profit organization that enlists the help of S-Class ninjas to help all nations," Obito explained.
"Oh…" Naruto thought back to the time he had the final battle against Menma in the limited Tsukuyomi, where the Akatsuki lent their hand to help rescue a few people.
"See, Naruto,"
"Your story was not that bad at all," Nawaki said.
"Oh,"
"So, what was that thing about Ino?" Naruto asked.
"Oh, Ino…"
"Well, she's a powerful woman in her own right too…" Nawaki nodded.
"…" Obito was silent, on the other hand.
"So, what does she do?" Naruto asked Obito.
"Well,"
"The last thing you want is to be on her bad side…" Obito said.
"Eh?" Naruto looked at Nawaki.
"You see, Naruto,"
"Ino is an S and an M,"
"…" Naruto stared at Nawaki in complete silence.
"The most feared kunoichi of all time,"
"She made Chōji become his clan's leader out of fear,"
"Shikamaru went through months of Garbage to find the old letter that the daimyō gave him and accepted his position as a guardian ninja just to run away from her," Nawaki chuckled.
"They say she's so powerful that Hinata just needs to mention her name to the prisoners she captures and they will spill the beans," Obito said with his eyes closed.
*gulp*
Naruto felt it hard to swallow his own spit from what he heard.
"Morino Ibiki's assistant and Torture and Interrogation force's most feared officer,"
"Yamanaka Ino, the Ultimate Sadist,"
