Chapter 143: Parent

Time remained elusive, even in other worlds, as it flew like the leaves from a tree.

Tsuna remained in Konoha and spent her days researching ways to get home or training Naruto.

Honestly, she had grown quite attached to the boy over her time there, making her feel as if he was her little brother.

However, she knew the boy had begun viewing her as a maternal figure in place of his parents, with her being the first person to actually show genuine kindness to him.

It was due to this that she felt a bit reluctant to leave him in this timeline, as even if she knew that he was going to save this world, she didn't wish for him to deal with the hardships he would have to go through.

And this was the reason that she had not only begun researching a way to get home, but also on a way to return to this world if he ever needed her.

Tsuna was also gauging the timeline based on what was happening to the people in this world, as Naruto had come home the other day and told her about he and Sasuke's fight atop the roof of a building.

Honestly, Tsuna had very little intention to get involved in the situation, but the fact that an unstable Uchiha would not make for a good situation with Naruto (especially since he would have nowhere to go with Orochimaru captured), she decided to play peacemaker as she invited Team 7 to her home for dinner.

The group sat and seemed quite awkward, with Naruto and Sasuke refusing to say anything to each other, Sakura seeming quiet while sneaking glances at Sasuke, and Kakashi refusing to remove his mask to eat the dinner that Tsuna had painstakingly prepared.

"So, Naruto, how was your day?" Tsuna asked as she took a bite of her meal.

"It was boring! Kakashi Sensei made us do more D-Rank missions all day long! We didn't even get to eat Ramen for lunch!" Naruto said while really being hurt at the end of his sentence.

"Well, you don't need to be eating Ramen every day anyway. I already told you it isn't good for your health." Tsuna said with an admonishing gaze while Naruto just pouted.

She then turned her head to Sasuke, with her getting quite annoyed with the scowl he constantly had on his face.

"What about you, brat? How was your day?" Tsuna asked Sasuke, making him grow angry at the title she called him.

"I'm not a brat!" Sasuke said angrily, his voice raising quite a bit at her.

Sasuke had already begun being jealous of Naruto's evergrowing strength, but seeing him getting a second chance at a family was irking him even further.

Add on the futility he felt in his confrontation with Itachi and the unknown fact about if he could grow strong enough to defeat him and avenge his clan, and you get a boy starved for attention while being a traumatic victim that's hurting.

Tsuna's gaze grew softer as she was about to comfort the boy in an attempt to help appease his worry, though her gaze turned cold in an instant once she felt she was being observed by a shinobi.

And while she would usually show no attention to such a circumstance, she felt the emotions of said shinobi, or lack thereof, and her mind instantly went to a man with one eye that is known as the Darkness of Shinobi.

'I guess the Danzo of this world has grown a lot less cautious over the years.' Tsuna thought as she stood up to go and handle this issue.

She decided she would rid this world of a scourge since it didn't have the same defenses that her's did against him.

And while her Danzo was not able to contribute to the ends of the Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki, the one here had done it knowingly.

Therefore, she is determined to put an end to the Cancer of Konoha, and rip the roots from the great tree of Konoha.

"Naruto, keep our guests entertained. But if anything is broken, all of you will pay the price." Tsuna said with a "kind" smile on her face that made everyone else in the room sweat before they nodded in agreement.

She then turned her attention back to the encounter before her, with leaving out of her door determined to cause chaos.

Meanwhile, her doppelganger sat in her office, not knowing about the anarchy that would storm her very soon.
