Naruto: Changing Fate

"Hmm...huh?! No...it doesn't hurt?!"

At the same time, just when Naruto took action, Kankuro, who was taking advantage of the situation, directly repelled him.Konohamaru, who fell lightly into Naruto's arms, finally had the expected "intimate contact" with the ground. The inevitable pain that was about to occur did not come for a long time.Instead, he was in a warm and spacious embrace that felt inexplicably familiar and reassuring, and he slowly opened his eyes that had been closed involuntarily.Then he subconsciously raised his head and looked curiously at the sudden appearance of Naruto - or rather, the image of "Namikaze Menma" used by Naruto now.After thinking about it for a while, he quickly realized that the other party had saved him, and he carefully thanked him word by word.

"It's...you saved me...thank you...thank you..."

"Huh? Ah, it's just a small thing, you're welcome..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto, who was always paying attention to Konohamaru's condition, was naturally slightly attracted by the voice of the person in his arms.Then he bent his eyes and smiled, lowered his head a little, and subconsciously responded with a warm and soothing voice.While Konohamaru's tone was obviously much more polite than before, he secretly muttered something puzzled in his heart.

"It's strange. Why does Konohamaru, the kid, become so nervous and polite in front of me? Obviously when we got along before, we were quite casual? Could it be that the presence of outsiders and the increase in age Because of this, this child knows how to care about his own image like Sasuke did back then?"

It is obvious that after personally delivering Konohamaru and taking care of and accompanying Konohamaru as he grew up, the relationship between Konohamaru and Naruto has long been like that of brothers connected by blood. intimate.So when he first heard about it, when he discovered that Konohamaru was so polite to him, Naruto, who was used to Konohamaru being in his arms and acting coquettishly, naturally felt a little uncomfortable... some kind of In a sense, this kind of weird thoughts can be compared to a certain unnamed Uchiha younger brother who was busy with work, causing his brother's dependence on him to gradually decline, and then began to worry about gains and losses, and was frequently jealous.

Of course, the reason why the young Konohamaru was so polite to Naruto was not to take care of his own image.It was because Naruto had long forgotten that the image he had always appeared in front of Konohamaru was his original appearance of "Naruto Uzumaki".So much so that when he appeared now, the image of "Namikaze Menma" that was specially changed just in case, specifically to confuse and mislead outsiders, was actually the first time Konohamaru saw him in these years. arrive.So frightened that he had no time to carefully observe the entire face of the "stranger" who came to rescue him. It was even less likely that Konohamaru, who could detect Naruto's true identity from the somewhat familiar facial contours, would appear so polite. It's quite normal to be polite.

"What are you saying, you want to teach me a lesson on my father's behalf... Hey, you bastard, your tone is quite harsh, it makes me very unhappy!"

Just when Naruto was slightly distracted, he lowered his head to comfort Konohamaru's frightened young heart as if there was no one else around.Kankuro, who thought he was embarrassed in front of his sister because of his previous embarrassing appearance, was already completely overwhelmed by unwillingness and anger.Kankuro, who had his eyes fixed on him and noticed the brief moment when Naruto was relaxed, shouted angrily in his head.

"How dare you ignore me... It was just a moment of carelessness that allowed you to succeed in the sneak attack. Don't underestimate me, you bastard!"

In Kankuro's view, because at first glance the opponent's appearance was quite young, probably a few years older than him, Kankuro concluded that the opponent's strength was at most between chuunin and jounin. Degree.Furthermore, Kankuro, who had absolute confidence in his puppet skills and was fully prepared when Naruto "shamelessly" taught him a lesson, suddenly launched a counterattack in response to this violent shout!

And the one who bore the brunt of this was the chakra line that Kankuro quietly unleashed at the very beginning and quickly spread to the surrounding areas...

Don't forget, before Naruto took action to repel Kankuro, Kankuro had Konohamaru's body firmly in his hands.So the reason why Kankuro dared to throw Konohamaru out unceremoniously as he did before, and he had enough confidence to ensure that Konohamaru would not be excessively harmed, was naturally because at that time, Kankuro had already attached his chakra lines to Konohamaru's body.Furthermore, just by flexing your fingers slightly, you can soften and offset more than half of the impact Konohamaru is about to suffer!

In other words, Konohamaru, who seems to be normal at first glance, has temporarily become Kankuro's living puppet because he has no ability to resist!

"Um, big brother, what's your name...ah?"

It was precisely because of this that Konohamaru was able to calm down and calm down a little in Naruto's comforting voice.And driven by the increasingly unbearable sense of familiarity, as if aware of something, he tried to ask Naruto's true identity.With an inadvertent glance from the corner of his eye, he discovered that his right hand had been clenched into a fist without knowing when, against his will.Furthermore, after vaguely sensing that something was wrong from this strange change, even though he knew nothing about the truth, he subconsciously gave a warning.

"I...why...my hands...don't...do what I want...no, big brother! It's dangerous!"

Unfortunately, Kankuro's movements were obviously much faster than Konohamaru's thoughts.As a result, these warning words have just begun and have not yet been fully uttered.Konohamaru's right fist was quietly controlled by Kankuro, and with the convenience of close contact brought by Konohamaru being held in Naruto's arms, he hit Naruto unprepared without mercy. Soft belly!Furthermore, the warning words that Konohamaru tried to give were completely in vain!

"Huh? Uh-oh—!"

Because of this, based on his advantage as a time-traveling party, he focused most of his attention on Kankuro's body and behind Kankuro, wrapped in layers of bandages, it was obviously Kankuro's usual puppet. .But he never expected that the first person to attack him would be Naruto, whom he had taken care of since childhood, and was naturally caught off guard.In addition, if he let go in a hurry and dodged, he might accidentally injure Konohamaru who was being held in his arms.Naruto was belatedly aware that something was wrong, but he could only choose to bear the blow while grunting in pain!

Fortunately, even if Konohamaru could not resist, his body temporarily turned into a living puppet obeying Kankuro's orders.However, because there are gains and losses, Konohamaru, who is just a young child and does not have much strength, even with the blessing of Kankuro's chakra line, has increased his strength a little, but he is still not even a genin. An unattainable level.So much so that even if he suddenly attacked and hit Naruto solidly, it would still be difficult to cause any substantial harm to the current Naruto!

"Is this... just like Grandma Chiyo, using the body of a living person as a puppet? I didn't expect that Kankuro at this period could actually master this technique in one blow..."

At the same time, Naruto, who was familiar with the plot of the original work, was able to vaguely notice what Kankuro was doing from Konohamaru's sudden sneak attack.Then he squinted his eyes and identified the so subtle chakra threads on Konohamaru's body that he quickly raised his hand and attached the wind attribute chakra to his palm, turning it into an unparalleled sharp palm. The sword cut off one by one without hesitation, and after Konohamaru was able to escape Kankuro's control, he couldn't help but raise his head a little with lingering fear.Then, while looking at Kankuro's triumphant expression, he muttered and reflected to himself rather annoyed.

"Sure enough, just like the journey to the Land of Waves, the influence of the butterfly effect does not only exist in the Konoha Ninja Village... but also thanks to the current Konohamaru, who is still just a child. Kankuro, who has no deep hatred, also I didn’t plan to kill anyone. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, I would have definitely suffered a big loss just like that..."

When Naruto thought about it, the main reason for Kankuro's change was probably because he had frequently visited Sunagakure Village over the years to visit the red pandas, which intentionally or unintentionally aroused the wariness of the Fourth Kazekage.This resulted in the Yondaime Kazekage being more attentive in raising his other two children without having to worry about the red panda going berserk and losing control.So that in a sense, Naruto, who could be considered "meddling", encountered another round of "self-inflicted" "revenge".

It's just that reflection is reflection... but Naruto has never allowed outsiders to take advantage of him easily, and he is extremely protective and doting on children. Naturally, he was so hastily attacked just now and finally comforted in his arms. He felt a little emotional, but due to the previous incident, Konoha became nervous and frightened again. Before the change, Kankuro accidentally touched the reverse scale, and this quickly ignited the anger in his heart!

"Be good, be good, Konohamaru, be good, don't be afraid... I know that what you did just now was not your intention. And you see, I wasn't hurt at all, was I?"

Facing the proud look cast by Kankuro, who still didn't know what he had done, Naruto, who was afraid of frightening the little one in his arms too much, bent down as gently as possible, He slowly placed Konohamaru on the ground and stood still.While smiling, he gently rubbed Konohamaru's little head and comforted him with gentle words.

"Let's do this. You take Menghuang and Udon first and stay away a little bit... let me help you teach me a lesson, that little bastard who dares to bully you!"

"Oh? Hahaha! How dare you talk to yourself there? It's really ridiculous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kankuro, who had heard Naruto's comforting words word for word, burst out laughing as if he had heard a joke.So much so that not only did Naruto easily dispose of the chakra lines attached to Konohamaru's body with a raised hand, there was no trace of panic at all.On the contrary, as the corners of his mouth gradually rose, he became more and more convinced that the strength of the person in front of him, who could not even dodge a punch from a young child, was no more than that. Kankuro's fighting spirit naturally became higher and higher.Then he controlled the chakra line again, quietly wandering and spreading, preparing to use the puppet he regarded as his trump card to teach the person in front of him an impressive lesson.

"Forget it, looking like you, you probably belong to the kind of idiot who doesn't know how much he weighs unless he suffers a little more! Let me be a little more serious and let you sober up...what- —!?"

It's a pity that all the mocking words brewing in Kankuro's mouth were revealed before he could feel proud.Naruto confirmed with his own eyes that Konohamaru had trotted down and had obeyed his instructions, leading Moe and Udon far away, "Be good, be good, Konohamaru, be good, don't be afraid... I know, What you did just now was not your intention. And you see, I wasn't hurt much, was I?"
