" You can't see my future directly can you?"
"Smart men make annoying husbands you know?"
" Well we'll come back to that and I apologize about the next few questions then. Did you create another dimension for the Uzumaki or are you just throwing them into the future?"
For the first time since they've met he finally made this old lady change her facial expression.
"…How?"
"You clearly want to save the Uzumaki. You've mentioned you changed the timeline several times for that goal.
You could simply migrate them to Konoha slowly, or even turtle up in the fortress that is Uzu to achieve that goal. Yet you insist on the destruction of the Uzumaki.
Probably because the Uzumaki are simply too unique to not be hunted down. No matter what the powers of this world will ally themselves together and attack Uzu or Konoha because they fear the potential of the Uzumaki. The only exception being if you send them to a certain point in time. A time of peace where the Uzumaki wouldn't be hunted.
There is only a single long period of peace that fits the criteria and that you would know of. It has to be after the fourth ninja war. It's also the only way to explain your obsession with the child of prophecy."
[Hahaha I was seen through by a child, my poor grand daughter forgive me you'll have your hands full with this one.]
"That's right boy I'm sending all the ones I can forward in time. They'll slowly be able to rebuild and with the barrier I created they truly will be a hidden village until the time is right."
"Haa poor Madara if he knew he was used in more than one way, how pissed would he be…"
"Don't mention that man in front of me ever again."
" Uhh right sorry. So why can't you send your direct family to the future as well then?"
"Their deaths are key to the progression of Konoha. For your next question their deaths cannot be faked. Without a real corpse, things become too muddled. We both know there's a way to bring them back but such methods are things they would never be okay with."
" We have two years left I'm guessing until these things need to happen. Give me some time I think I have a way to cheat fate on this one."
" You are a capable child and I can't see your future but even you have limits. Very well though we'll see if you can surprise me a second time."
"Thank you. Now why can't you see my future?"
" I'm not really sure. I want to blame your soul but it's not like your soul itself can stop me from seeing time. It's not only you though. The longer you spend with Tsunade the less of her future I can see as well."
" So you can only see if I make changes to time or if I have some sort of effect on your ideal timeline right?"
"Correct. It's a shame you have no intention of ever being Hokage.Your wits would be useful."
" How do you know that if you can't see my future?"
"Regardless of the overall changes I've seen on what you call my ideal timeline. Not once has your face appeared on Hokage rock."
"… any chance I can learn your ability?"
"No you are not suitable to learn it. Also it's my intention for this technique to die with me. Knowing even one possible future makes people do foolish things. Both of us being the clearest proof of this."
" Figured you'd say that."
After that day I started really considering what I wanted to do with my life. Yes I would have my revenge, yes I would marry Tsunade, but did I really want to interfere in all the ninja crap? Why be involved in all their mess if I can just go off and live peacefully with my family. I was a cheapskate that duplicated kunai to save a few cents, sure. Financially though I could live of counterfeits or the ridiculously large family fortune I now had.
It seems I was having an existential crises on this walk to the academy. To the point I hadn't noticed Nawaki trying to talk to me.
As I finally took notice of him I realized maybe this suicidal idiot was onto something. I should just live and do what I pleased, why think so much about the other crap.
"Ah hahaha!"
"Umm brother in law people are looking at you funny. Don't be offended but I need to take a few steps away from you."
" Well this is new, is the great Nawaki the future fourth Hokage, embarrassed?"
Continuing to mess around until we reached the auditorium we soon saw Hiruzen appear and give that annoying ass speech on the Will of Fire.
Afterward me and Nawaki were specifically led by our instructor, Shinku Yuhi, to our class along with some other elite children.
After we took our seats, Shinku stepped out.
With nothing else to do I began messing with Nawaki and waiting in this class bored out of my mind. Soon a jackass appeared.
"Would you look at that to think I would be in the same class as the beggar turned prince.
To even wear the armor of the second on his first day of class. How crude."
"Brother this is not the place."
" Silence I will be the patriarch in the future and I decide whether or not this is the place."
Right… I forgot he was an asshole before the Hyuga affair happens. As for why I wore the seconds armor to class? It looked cool and I liked it so sue me. The real reason though is the additional weight served as good body conditioning.
I just ignored him you wouldn't care about an ant in the road? Would you? I signaled Nawaki to do the same. It was more important to plan our trip to Ichiraku after class.
" Beggar prince how dare you ignore your patriarch! Kneel before me or I'll have my way with your wife when she joins the clan!"
Instantly a blur appeared where we were seated.
Nawaki appeared crouched on Hiashis desk a Kunai inches from Hiashis left eye. In the other hand a kunai was inches from Hizashis rib.
Standing behind Hiashi I had a kunai on his throat already beginning to draw blood. Another kunai was also pointed directly at Hizashis face who was frozen mid motion with his palm facing me.
Seems only Hizashi reacted and tried to throw a gentle fist palm my way.Talented but not enough.
"Hizashi stand down. Today seems to be the day you return to the main family."
"Go ahead brother in law we'll be doing the Hyuga clan a favor. Shouldn't be too much trouble."
" I know seems we'll be forced to stop today though…."
Slowly a crowd of Anbu faded into view around us.
"Please stop this at once gentlemen of the Senju clan. We'd hate to arrest you on your first day of class."
Hmmm fuck that. In one swift movement I cut off Hiashi's ear and used his head as a platform to reach Nawaki so we can thunder god home and have the adults deal with the blow back.
Soon Hiashi could be seen gripping his bleeding ear hole. His screams distracting the Anbu. I was getting closer and closer to Nawaki. Even the best laid plans though had their faults.
"Haaa I knew I should of escorted you personally. You've never been one to not be a pain in my ass."
Hiruzen had appeared grabbing both me and Nawaki and in one swift motion cross slammed us into the floor.
Nawaki took the hit. I spun out of Hiruzens grip mid throw and landed on my feet ready to flee once more.
"Don't you dare use that jutsu right now or I'll really start getting serious Ren."
"I'm not that kid anymore old man, I can get serious too you know."
"Haaa why is talking to you never easy. Just reattach the kids ear. I haven't even gotten even yet for the so called arts of a gentlemen."
"Hmm fine… we'll call it even."
Hiashis ear was reattached in less than a minute.
The whole class was bewildered. What the hell just happened? Is this a prank?
