"In the end, I feel like saving Tobirama didn't have as big of an impact as accidentally saving Uchiha Kagami…" Akio shook his head with a bitter smile.
Ten years ago, Akio had inadvertently saved Uchiha Kagami, who was about to jump off a cliff. Two years ago, Kagami succeeded as the new head of the Uchiha clan. Under his leadership, the Uchiha had already begun to change…
"With things going this way, it feels like the Uchiha might never reach the point of clan extermination. That's a good thing, of course… but what about my plot witness point…"
Akio's original plan was to find a way to save the Uchiha in the future, earning a major witness point for drastically altering the plot. But now, it had turned into an indirect rescue—aning that witness point was gone.
"And there's sothing even more troubleso…" Akio sighed.
Because Tobirama hadn't died, and thanks to Mito's strength, Konoha had an overwhelming advantage during the First Great Ninja War. They barely faced any setbacks. Two people who were originally supposed to die in that war ended up surviving.
"It's not like I'm cursing them to die or anything, but this makes things really complicated for …"
The two who survived were Orochimaru's parents. Without their deaths, Orochimaru never embarked on his path of immortality research, and Akio felt that a major source of fun in the Naruto world had been lost.
"No, I've got to co up with a solution…" Akio sighed again.
There were still many things he hoped Orochimaru would help him with in the future. He even planned to have Hashirama revived during the Fourth Great Ninja War…
"Luckily, despite all these changes, the key characters in the story are still being born."
In the 15th year of Konoha, Uchiha Kagami's nephew was born—Uchiha Fugaku. In Year 19, the Hyuga brothers were born. In Year 20, Uchiha Mikoto was born. In Year 23, the Ino–Shika–Cho trio was born…
"So, the plot hasn't completely collapsed yet. So key events might still happen…" Akio tried to comfort himself.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly sensed a familiar chakra signature approaching. Akio's face turned helpless.
"Grandpa Akio, I did it!"
The voice belonged to Yuna, now seventeen years old. She had perfectly inherited Izuko's talent and was currently a chūnin. For so reason, around age ten, she had once encountered the Uzumaki clan's Chakra Diffusion Cannon, and from then on beca obsessed with scientific research…
A black-haired boy around ten years old followed beside her. When he saw Akio, he shouted:
"Great-grandfather!"
This boy was Hashirama's second son, nad Senju Dōzan.
Unlike Kenji, who resembled Mito more, Dōzan took after Hashirama both in personality and talent. He possessed an enviable physical constitution. As Akio put it:
"I've spent so many years through storms and battles just to reach Level 8 in Yang Release, and this kid's already probably at Level 5 or 6 just thanks to having a great dad. By the ti he matures, even if he doesn't reach Sage Body level, he'll be around Level 8."
"Yuna, didn't I ask you to go explore Konoha a bit recently?"
Yuna sighed helplessly.
"I did… and brought back Dōzan with ."
Dōzan chuckled heartily beside her.
For so unknown reason, ever since Dōzan t Yuna once when he was four or five, he had been clinging to her ever since.
"Love at first sight? Or maybe just lacking maternal love?" Akio thought with a chuckle.
He always felt that Mito only treated Dōzan with the affection of a grandmother…
"So, did you see Sakumo in Konoha?" Akio teased.
Yuna blushed.
"Grandpa! If you keep saying that, I'll get mad! I just went to check out Konoha's Weapons Division and got inspired. I ca back right away to make a new weapon."
"Oh? A new weapon?" Akio looked surprised. "Do you have a prototype?"
Akio didn't have high hopes for Konoha's research capabilities. Over the years, they had only increased the Chakra Diffusion Cannon's power without trying to reduce its chakra consumption.
Rumor had it that the latest model had reached the power of a Tailed Beast Bomb, but when Tobirama tested it himself, he could only fire it twice before his chakra was completely drained—making it utterly impractical.
On the Uzumaki side, however, with Akio occasionally offering suggestions, there had been so modest progress.
Yuna smiled, pulled a sealing scroll from her chest, and unraveled it—revealing a strange-looking object in front of Akio.
Akio frowned as he picked it up and weighed it. It wasn't too heavy, but its shape… should he call it a hand cannon?
He fiddled with it for a mont and imdiately found the chakra input area. Then, facing the sea, he fired.
"Grandpa!" Yuna's voice called out as Akio suddenly found himself sitting on the ground, confused.
Rubbing his shoulder, Akio stood up with a wry smile.
Yuna looked guilty.
"What is this thing? It's got so good power—about the sa destructive force as a Rasengan, with little chakra cost, and it's ranged. But… this recoil nearly killed your old grandpa!"
"It's not finalized yet! Besides, isn't it great? So what if you took a fall? With that kind of power, it's worth it!"
Akio sighed.
"Sure, I fell, but would you dare test it yourself? This thing's only usable by soone like your Uncle Kentō. Anyone else shouldn't even think about it."
"Great-grandpa! I'll definitely be able to use Yuna-nee's weapon soday!" Dōzan declared.
Akio was speechless. This kid was way too biased toward Yuna. How did Hashirama's second son turn into such a siscon? Hokage already had a bunch of brocons and now a siscon gets added to the mix…
"Still, Yuna really has talent for research to make sothing like this," Akio mused.
"Maybe she should be paired up with Orochimaru?"
"…Nah, forget it."
Just as he was thinking that, several new chakra signatures rapidly approached.
"Tsunade and Nawaki? And those two behind them…" Akio felt a guess forming and beca a little excited.
Sure enough, as they ca closer, Akio realized—it was his first ti seeing the young Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
"Great-ancestor Grandpa, I'm here! Didn't you say you wanted to et my teammates? I brought them!"
Akio nodded.
"Great-ancestor Grandpa, I'm here!" Nawaki ran up to greet him.
Before Akio could respond, Nawaki spotted Yuna and ran toward her shouting "Big Sis!"
Akio didn't understand what it was about Yuna that made her so popular with children—especially Senju children.
Snapping back to reality, Akio turned to face the young Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Fourteen-year-old Orochimaru, aside from his deathly pale skin, was quite handso. He greeted Akio politely.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, had that classic "I'm the best" expression.
"Orochimaru, why are you even greeting him? If it weren't for Tsunade, I wouldn't care about eting so ancestor grandpa. Now we've t, let's go already!"
Looking like he couldn't wait to go save the world.
Akio's face darkened.
"Step one in training the Legendary Sannin: teach Jiraiya so basic manners…"
