Genshin Impact: Have you ever heard of the Akatsuki Organization?

(In this chapter, the young man is called Naruto, and the boyhood is called Young Naruto. Easy to understand, right? Praise me.)

"I……"

"The lustful fairy."

Jiraiya wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Naruto.

"After today, I will return to my world."

"As for me, I just wanted to see you again. I have no intention of taking you away."

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto has not yet mastered the Sage Mode and is still outside looking for Sasuke.

He hadn't yet become the hero who saved Konoha from Pein, he was still the village's nine-tailed demon fox.

Apart from Jiraiya, two teachers and a few familiar ninja school classmates, he had no other companions.

The seal of the Nine-Tailed Fox had not yet loosened to the point of touching the bottom line, so he certainly didn't know about the existence of his parents.

Naturally, it is impossible to become friends with Jiu Lama.

Naruto has been lonely since he was a child.

So he will cherish every companion especially.

While Naruto was still growing up, Jiraiya, who occupied one of the most important positions in his life, died in battle.

The pain called "loss" was the first snowflake that fell on Naruto's heart.

The snow had been falling for many years, until I met my parents, until the Ninja War ended, and until I reconciled with Sasuke, the warm spring breeze gradually melted the thick snow.

Naruto now has formed bonds with many people, including Sasuke, with whom he occasionally quarrels, Hinata, whom he deeply loves, the often unreliable Hokage teacher, and the villagers who recognize him.

Happy? Naruto felt happy.

What about this period?

That blond boy will become the salvation of many people in the future, but he himself also needs salvation.

Naruto looked at Jiraiya beside him with a determined gaze.

"He needs you more than I do, which is why I'm here."

"Go watch him... No, watch me grow up. No matter if it's me or him, both of us hope to be watched by you."

Jiraiya was silent for a moment, "Is it okay?"

"of course."

"It belongs to my master, but I failed to protect him well. Now I have the chance, and I want to protect his most precious thing on behalf of my former self."

"Let me accompany him as he grows up, I..."

Before Naruto could finish his words, a voice very similar to his came from behind him.

"Wait a moment!"

The hurried footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Naruto turned around with a look of surprise on his face.

The familiar orange and black sportswear, golden hair, and blue eyes.

It's the young Naruto.

"I'm sorry..." Sasuke, who was chasing behind, looked helpless, "I can't stop him. I can't force him to fall down."

"It's okay, I saw it." Naruto shook his head slightly and looked at the young Naruto, "Shouldn't you still be outside at this time?"

"I rushed back after receiving the news that the lecherous sage was seriously injured and returned to the village." The worry in the eyes of the young Naruto could not be hidden, "When I arrived at the hospital, the lecherous sage was not in the bed."

The young boy looked at Naruto, "Then I found this note on my bed. I was surprised. It was as ugly as my handwriting."

Naruto: "...Sorry, I haven't started work yet, so I haven't had time to practice calligraphy."

At this moment, Naruto felt very wonderful, as if he had returned to the real waterfall and met another self.

But now, the young Naruto in front of him did not have evil intentions.

The young Naruto wanted to speak now, but the three people standing in front of him were too heavyweight.

One is Master Jiraiya, and the other is myself who looks much more grown up.

There's even a Sasuke.

"You are the one who saved him, aren't you, Lecherous Immortal?"

"Uh..." Naruto looked away, "Actually, I just beat someone up. The lecherous sage got the information in advance and used the method of pretending to be asleep to lure the enemy."

The young Naruto looked at Naruto with a complicated expression, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

"Isn't it hard to cheat?"

"Should the allusion of the wolf pretending to sleep to lure the enemy appear in this world?"

"Uh……"

Sasuke next to him couldn't bear to watch it anymore and sighed.

Naruto is such an idiot. What would you do without me?

Until this idiot can stand on his own, I have to keep a close eye on him.

What, you said that Naruto has saved Konoha and won the Ninja World War, and is now capable of doing things on his own?

Nonsense!

Sasuke and Hinata haven't said anything yet, so how can it be your turn to speak, a little Karami? Do you understand Naruto or does Sasuke and Hinata understand Naruto?

"Don't say anything, stupid Naruto. Let me do it."

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's collar and pulled him behind him, "Um, Naruto... ahhh that's weird, don't look at me like that."

"In short, we just gave him a little push. The key is that Jiraiya himself is strong enough."

Sasuke's way of expression is very reasonable. It is a simple statement without citing any classics.

But Sasuke also overlooked one thing.

"Since the Lecherous Immortal can come back, why do you still show up?"

Naruto didn't think twice, "We just came to see him..."

Young Naruto sighed, "Right?"

Naruto was silent.

"Because you are here, I probably won't feel the pain of losing my master." The young Naruto looked at Sasuke, then looked at Naruto behind him, "Is this okay, Naruto?"

It felt strange when his name was called out, but the young Naruto didn't seem to care about it.

"I know you are me, so even though I haven't experienced it, I can still feel your sadness."

Naruto is Naruto. No matter when, he will always inadvertently become the salvation of others.

Naruto would come back to save Jiraiya for the sake of young Naruto, so why wouldn't young Naruto come back to save Jiraiya?

The young Naruto took in the scar on Jiraiya's neck, "Lecherous sage."

"Ok?"

"If you can, I want you to follow him."

Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, then looked at the young Naruto in surprise.

"why?"

The young Naruto did not answer this question directly.

"The lecherous immortal is back safe and sound. I haven't lost him. Just like before, he always likes to sneak off to carry out missions or to get material for his strange novels."

"For me, him going with you is just a matter of him being away on a mission for a long time."

"But you are different. The fact that you and Sasuke-nii are here means that you have already lost him."

"So..." Naruto took a deep breath, "I want to fulfill myself who has come through time and space with regrets."

Naruto's pupils trembled slightly, and the boy in front of him at this moment seemed to be difficult to overlap with himself at that time.

"Of course, I also asked Grandma Tsunade." The young Naruto said in a relaxed tone, "She said: We can wait. When the lecherous sage comes back, she will marry him."

"I'm surprised too. Why are you in such a hurry?" Young Naruto passed by his grown-up self and sat where Jiraiya and Naruto had just sat.

"She...she said she lost a bet and didn't want to default on the debt for so long. It would be bad for her reputation. She wanted to get money to go out and have fun in the future but no one would lend it to her."

"Although I don't know what you are going to do after you return there, my intuition tells me that there will be an important occasion and you will need him."

……

……

"So, are you really ready to do this?"

Earlier, before Naruto and Sasuke stepped into the light circle, Nohara Obito asked the question for the last time.

"Even if the future development becomes unimaginable."

Naruto paused in his steps, "Yeah, I've thought about it."

"I want to promise that young me a bright and glorious future."

"Even if the world may become something you don't recognize at all?"

Naruto chuckled, "Sasuke and I took action. Even if the future world isn't what we know, it's going to be pretty good for him."

Nohara Obito smiled with relief and patted Naruto on the shoulder, "That's right... Go ahead and kill him by surprise."
