Chapter 10: I will change the world.

Tsunade POV

She had just returned with Rin and the others. His encounter with Lite was uneventful.

She had mentally prepared herself so much for what might happen, but when the time came, she found herself alone with a baby who gave her a box, a bit anticlimactic.

Well, honestly, there wasn't much else to think about, after all, she knew from the beginning that she was going to meet just a baby.

She disguised herself as a tourist lady and "accidentally" met Kokoe, they made a little friendship and as a result, she was invited to her house for tea while they talked. One has to admit that when she sets her mind to it, her infiltration skills are top-notch. The irony that she has to put them to the test in his own village.

When she saw Lite for the first time, nothing happened, it wasn't until she slightly mentioned mister that Lite gave her a box of toys with the excuse that she was a very pretty lady, which earned him an ear pull from his mother.

After talking with Kokoe a bit more, Tsunade decided that it was time to retire.

Remembering her day, she sat in the middle of the room with Rin and Shizune, so that the three of them could discuss the conversation they would later have with mister. Although she has more experience than them and considers herself good at analyzing information, she wouldn't be arrogant in something as important as this, in fact, she considered that more brains, even if they were inexperienced, could present ideas from different points of view.

— Well, I already opened the box, there are only a few seals, I suppose some are for communication and the others I don't know what function they have. What do you think? (Tsunade)

— I honestly don't know much about the subject, but I think that with someone we know so little about, it's best not to rush. (Rin)

— I have the same opinion. (Shizune)

In his old world's story, Shizune was portrayed as someone submissive who was always only behind Tsunade. However now she had been given the confidence to speak and express herself better, this is due to the circumstances surrounding them now. They just couldn't afford to have someone less that could offer opinions. That's why now she and Rin, after six months of training with Tsunade, were already minimally capable of speaking. This is somewhat important because the average ninja is only trained to blindly follow orders, only those above a certain level or those with special circumstances can have a say in any village.

— Did you sense anything while you were there, sensei? (Rin)

— No, just that Lite is pretty smart for its age. (Tsunade)

— If you who had direct contact with him didn't discover anything, then I guess Minato-sama much less so. (Shizune)

— Yes, well, it was more dangerous for him to meet little Lite due to mister's warning, add to that that we should also keep our distance. I guess by now he must be one of the most stressed people in the five big nations. (Tsunade)

— I can't laugh at that joke. (Shizune)

— Well, it's about time he contacts us, hush. (Tsunade)

— Yes. (Shizune & Rin)

Lite had in fact left a small note indicating the approximate time he would contact them, that was to avoid inconvenience like his mother being near him.

He quoted them for midnight, an hour where her mother was already sleeping. In fact, he stayed awake at that hour whether he was going to communicate with them or not. This was because of his headaches. As time passed, these hadn't disappeared, they just got lighter, and the time intervals were set for the night, at the same time Lite trained his concentration just when he had those attacks to get stronger faster. This allowed his mental strength to grow rapidly. Apparently, the massages he received once a day were effective. The doctor said that soon he would no longer need them.

That also spelled trouble, since in the future he could face a serious imbalance between his yin and yang. But there was nothing he could do about it, just train his body like crazy when he reached a certain point of maturity to compensate.

Getting back to the topic, Tsunade was already ready and about to receive her first contact after quite some time. She was a little anxious since she did not know what mister's plan was. In fact, she had already thought about how far she could concede in her demands regarding the village, and the moment that line was crossed, no matter what, she would do whatever it took to prevent it.

— Hello?

Just when she was deep in thought, one of the seals was activated and a voice came from there.

She immediately noticed something, the voice coming out of there was slightly different from the one she heard months ago. Normally this was such a small difference that it would have been taken as an error in perception or whatever. But in this case, she was so focused on even the smallest detail that she caught it.

That made her think that there may be two different people and somehow they speak in a similar way or that somehow mister's voice changed. She would normally think that the first option is the correct one, but her intuition told her that it wasn't, and sometimes it was better to trust your intuition than the facts. However, the latter was highly unlikely, change like that only occurs at puberty.

Tsunade analyzed and reanalyzed everything she could. The fact was that Lite did change his voice. It is true that the most abrupt changes in the vocal cords occur at puberty, but he was a special case. The fact that he used chakra from such an early age, however minimal, made his body grow faster and that indirectly affected his voice. He also noticed that, but it was so minimal that he didn't give it any importance, he never imagined that Tsunade would have given it so much importance.

Now, from there to Tsunade imagining that the person holding them in his hands is just a baby… That was too exaggerated for her imagination.

— Hello, mister. (Tsunade)

— Tsunade, I hope you're okay, are Rin and Shizune with you? (Lite)

— Hi, mister. (Rin & Shizune)

— Listening to the voices of three beautiful ladies is refreshing. (Lite)

— Please, we are here to talk about serious issues. (Tsunade)

— Sorry, I just don't know where to start the topic. I'm a little nervous. *shy tone*

— *sigh* (Tsunade)

— I see that you have already become a habit. (Lite)

— And whose fault do you think it is? — Tsunade said with a vein protruding on her forehead.

— Yeah, yeah. Ok, let's start at once. Ask whatever questions you want first, that way we'll get straight to the point. This time there is nothing I need to hide. (Lite)

— Ok, first tell me about what will happen that night. (Tsunade)

No wasting time, she immediately went for the most important question.

— Well, that night a guy with a space-time ability will invade the village, he will go directly to where Kushina is, and the moment the seal is weakest, he will attack, releasing the nine-tails. (Lite)

— If we know what kind of technique he will use, why not catch him at once? Even if you tell me that there are things that need to happen, at least you have to explain more. (Tsunade)

— Well, that's because it's necessary for him to accomplish his mission. (Lite)

— Weren't you trying to avoid it? (Tsunade)

— I never said that it had to be avoided, nor did I say that he was the final enemy. (Lite)

— I see, you will use it as bait. (Tsunade)

— That's how it is. (Lite)

— And you need Minato to strengthen us overall instead of being locked in that position. (Tsunade)

— That's how it is. (Lite)

— Ok, now I have a clear idea. (Tsunade)

While Tsunade and Lite were talking, Shizune and Rin are in charge of recording everything they could, from what they said to the tone in which they spoke.

— Well, then speak at once, what shall we do? Even if you tell me to let him attack, you wouldn't expect me to stand idly by while such a monster is left in the village. (Tsunade)

— Well, obviously we will intervene, but not directly. (Lite)

— Do you have a plan? (Tsunade)

— I have a general idea, but you are the one who will need to complete it since you have a better knowledge of the village. (Lite)

— I have no objection to that. (Tsunade)

— Good. The answer is simple. You will lead a terrorist attack ahead of time. (Lite)

Hhuh? — Tsunade was stunned, luckily she had already prepared herself to remain calm at any moment.

— The protocol in case of an attack is to protect civilians in special places, or am I wrong? (Lite)

— *sigh* I understand. (Tsunade)

— That is why you will simply plant explosives throughout the village, in the box that I give you there is a special seal, this serves as a detector and alarm when there is any spatial fluctuation. You have to find a way to plant it in the place where Naruto will be born, so you know when to activate the explosives. (Lite)

— *sigh* You understand that you're asking me to blow up my own village, don't you? (Tsunade)

— Yes, but it's to save them, in fact, even if I give you all the information I have, it's impossible to stop him completely. You are specialized in melee combat with great strength, and even though Minato is known for the fastest, I can tell you with certainty that the opponent's jutsu is too special. (Lite)

Tsunade thought about the pros and cons of mister's plan. Honestly, she didn't want to listen to him, but reason dictated that she had no choice. In fact, it all boiled down to the fact that the nine tails would be released, she knows that this would be a catastrophe for any village, but only if they are caught off guard. Konoha was too strong to fall if it was prepared.

If she decided to warn Minato, there was certainly a 100% chance of stopping the kyuubi, but regarding the enemy, that was another matter. Mister had told her that his space-time jutsu was special and wouldn't be easy to deal with, even if it was Minato. Which means that what is a more powerful technique than the flying thunder god jutsu.

Tsunade couldn't help but sigh again, she understood that mister's option was the best. On the one hand, they would avoid civilian and ninja casualties, in the worst case they would only reduce them, but that was better than nothing. On the other hand, as long as they put together their strategy well, they would avoid raising many suspicions in the enemy.

Honestly, she didn't have much to think about at this point. So after a brief pause, she gave him her answer.

— I think it's the most realistic plan. (Tsunade)

— I'm glad you agree, in fact, if you have a better idea I'm not against discussing it. (Lite)

— There's no need. Although the village will be destroyed, as long as it's just material damage then I don't have any objection. (Tsunade)

— You're more decisive than that geezer Hiruzen. (Lite)

— *frowns* Even if we're collaborating, I'd appreciate it if you don't insult my sensei so much. (Tsunade)

Lite couldn't help but laugh inside. For him, Hiruzen was someone so inept that he deserves to have a clown hat added to his monument. But he didn't worry about that, he would make sure that he disappeared in one of the most humiliating ways possible, his name in the future would only be synonymous with shame and ineptitude.

Lite, even though he is a totally different person after going through the reincarnation cycle, was still influenced by his past self, which included his sadism when dealing with what he considers his enemies. The fact that he had changed in the middle of his life only made him direct his efforts towards a better future, but against those who were worthless, obviously, no mercy was needed. And that was exactly the kind of thought he had towards Hiruzen. The best thing is that he would make sure that his own students are in charge of finishing him.

But that's still several years away.

— Haha. Don't be so serious, it's okay, I'll hold back. (Lite)

— *sigh* Okay, what about Minato? (Tsunade)

— What exactly do you want to know, ninja who sighs? (Lite)

— *swollen vein* (Tsunade)

— Ha ha ha. (Lite)

— How exactly will he die and what will we do to save him? (Tsunade)

That was what worried Tsunade the most. She couldn't let someone so strong and talented die. Even if he faked his death like they were planning, as long as he was alive he could protect the village from the shadows.

She had also paid attention to what he said earlier.

'Naruto, huh. When I entered the village I took the time to collect a little information and I didn't find anything related to Minato's son. Either the guy really comes from the future, or he's someone close to Minato or Kushina, but that's not possible, the two of them only have Jiraiya as someone they would reveal their son's name to.

Now that I remember it, Naruto is the name of the protagonist of Jiraiya's book. Could he have guessed it from there? Even so, it is very far-fetched to form such an exact relationship.

Also, his voice change…'

— Originally Minato would use the death demon consuming seal (Shiki Fūjin) in the nine tails to seal half of it in Naruto and the other half within himself. And Kushina without her beast inside would also perish. (Lite)

— And what about the others? Where was my sensei at that time? (Tsunade)

— Who knows, taking a piss? (Lite)

Tsunade felt strange, she thought that in such an emergency her sensei would be the first to jump and die protecting the village, but in reality, he is the one who would survive. She wanted to doubt what Lite told her, but there was something inside that prevented her from fully believing.

— *Sigh* It's a complicated situation, how are we supposed to intervene? The seal means death, we should stop him from using it and find a way for the Kyuubi to be sealed in Kushina again. (Tsunade)

— Ah, that can't be done, it's too direct. (Lite)

— So? (Tsunade)

— Why do you think I asked you to round up a hundred prisoners? (Lite)

— ? Explain yourself. (Tsunade)

— Simple, when you make a contract and you cannot or do not want to fulfill it, you have two choices. One, you look for a legal loophole or you give something in exchange that is of equal value to the other party but not harmful to you. In this case, instead of fulfilling the contract with the shinigami and handing over Minato's soul, we can just give him 100 souls to make him satisfied, in other words, those dregs will be a sacrifice. (Lite)

At that moment Tsunade understood that the person she was talking to was quite ruthless.

— Are you sure it will work? (Tsunade)

— Yes, I have not the slightest doubt. (Lite)

— But that means Kushina will die. (Tsunade)

— I'm already taking care of that problem, don't worry. It won't do me any good to save Minato if I let Kushina die. He would lose any kind of trust in me. Same with his son.

— How? (Tsunade)

— When it's almost there I'll give you something special, I can only tell you that Minato will be the happiest man in the world. (Lite)

— ? (Tsunade)

— Ha ha ha. You'll understand. (Lite)

'How strange, for some reason I can't help but pitty Minato.'

— Well, on the other hand, do you have the bodies ready? (Lite)

— Don't worry about that, no matter which doctor analyzes it, they will conclude that they are Minato and Kushina. What I want to know most is what will happen to their baby. (Tsunade)

— And I already told you that I will take care of that. (Lite)

— … Good. (Tsunade)

— Calm down, it's not good to gossip. By the way, there is something I want to ask you. (Lite)

— But it's ok if you want to do it, eh…what is it? (Tsunade)

— Any man would be interested in knowing about three kunoichi as beautiful as you three. Well then, what do you feel now after doing what I asked you to do? (Lite)

Hearing that compliment, Rin couldn't help but blush a little. The truth was that she had a very good impression of mister, after all, he was the one who saved her. But it was not only that, regardless of how old he may be, until now he has always remained as someone in full control of the situation, self-confident, powerful, and capable of going head to head with Senju Tsunade, her teacher. You have to remember that they live in troubled times, so women are inclined to look for someone strong to lean on. It is a way of thinking forced by the circumstances of the time.

The reason why Shizune doesn't feel the same way is simply because she's not too interested in romance yet, after all, she always had to take care of Tsunade and ease her problems. Even if she is in a better situation now than before, life is not like a series where overnight someone gets over their trauma and is okay. What the slug sennin actually did was take the first step, but there will still be many days when her mood fluctuates, she feels insecure and afraid. No matter what era you live in or how "brave" you are, at the end of it all, we are just humans and we must behave as such.

— You should stop trying to seduce an old lady like me, but I'll take your compliment. Now what exactly do you mean? (Tsunade)

— You see, humans are pretty dumb beings, we get used to things pretty quickly, even if we hate it. To tell you the truth, I hate this world, I find it disgusting and I want to eliminate it. I hate wars, I hate that there are people so strong that they can do what they want without consequences, I hate that the guys in power send children to die as if nothing from the comfort of their offices. Many people feel like this, they want to make a change, but the habit killed them inside. That's why I want to know, what do you feel now? How did it feel to know that you have the power to make a change? Knowing that your efforts may be insufficient, but never in vain. I want to know, yesterday you couldn't save someone, but tomorrow how many lives will flourish thanks to you? After all, no one is alone in this world, there will always be people you care about. The ones who denies it are only cowards blind to reality. (Lite)

Those words were quite shocking to the three of them.

Rin and Shizune know that while they may be eating something in the village, other people are being mistreated and abused. They lived through the war and the number of friends who lost their lives were too many to count, friends their age. None of them believed that they should go around the world saving all the needy they find. But, that bad things happen so close to them and watch everything while being impotent, that did affect them. That's why when they saw that they could actually do something even with their own limitations, while living their own lives, something awoke inside of them.

Tsunade was the most affected by this. Mister said that he hated this world for being too cruel, and the truth was that Tsunade thought the same. She was the embodiment of what it meant to lose everything. That itself caused her to plunge into depression. Now, the person on the other side of the seal had the same feelings of hatred, but no resignation. She began to think about those who were precious to her now and the images of Jiraiya and Shizune immediately appeared in her head, she had even gotten a new apprentice whom she was starting to grow fond of.

But what if he lost them too? A new war, a mission gone wrong, many options running through her head, and that thought filled her with terror.

Certainly, in this world life is very cheap, no matter who it is. But she is Tsunade Senju, someone powerful and renowned. If she wants to do something then she will do it.

— Tell me, mister , what is your goal? First you speak to me of powerful dangers, now of this world that is wrong. (Tsunade)

— My ultimate goal huh... it seems you finally understand Tsunade. There will always be dangers in this world, if I want to protect those who are important to me, the answer is simple… (Lite)

In this moment, Lite hadn't noticed it, but his spirit was activating more than usual, a headache like never before was released, but he still said resolutely.

— I, WITH MY OWN HANDS, WILL CHANGE THIS WORLD! (Lite)

He didn't say it shouting, or with a loud voice, it was simply a calm that conveyed power and conviction.

Lite was only a baby, he did not have the necessary experiences to support that conviction, however, the residue of consciousness from his past life did have the requirements.

The consciousness that refused to die little by little was disappearing the more Lite grew, the more he went his way. Little by little, he was learning more, he had things that were important now, and although his memories make him miss and yearn for his past, he was not going to give up the today for yesterday.

Tsunade, on the other hand, also started thinking more about the future.

— I see, your ambition is quite big. Some kind of savior? (Tsunade)

— No, someone like that lacks the resolve to be cruel. I just do what I want. (Lite)

— *sigh* I need to be alone for a moment, is there anything else you have to say? (Tsunade)

— No, just look at the most suitable places to place the explosives and calculate when it will be the day of Naruto's birth, the only clue I have is that it was a night with a full moon. (Lite)

— Fine, I'll take care of that. (Tsunade)

— So goodbye, beautiful kunoichis. (Lite)

— Bye, mister. (Rin)

— See you, mister. (Shizune)

— See you. (Tsunade)

And so, in this way, each one said goodbye, with their own thoughts, ready for the night that would decide the future of the village of Konoha.
