Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 678 You just wait!

The dead are done with it all, the living bear the consequences.

Theoretically speaking, this would be true if this world weren't the world of Naruto.

Unfortunately……

This is indeed the world of Naruto...

Youya originally thought that death meant the end.

When he came to his senses, his body had returned to its youthful state, and he found himself in a dense forest.

He strangely touched his body up and down, and even began to suspect...

What am I doing...?

I've time-traveled again?!

Please don't do this! You can't just let me go back!

Anyway, my life in the Naruto world is over. Rather than sending me to another world, just send me back!

That's what Youya thought.

Until he saw several figures emerging from the dense forest.

Hashirama Senju, Mito Uzumaki, and Tobirama Senju.

Youya stood there blankly, staring at the three people who emerged from the dense forest.

The three of them smiled and quickly went to meet him.

Yuya instantly assumed a defensive stance: "Who are you?! This is... an illusion?!"

Hashirama Senju was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Mito Uzumaki smiled and began to explain to Yua.

It turns out that this is the intersection of the underworld and the mortal world.

This intersection is the transition point where the dead guide the deceased to the underworld.

Of course, it's not that you can't stay here for long, it just depends on how deep your obsession is.

For example, in the original manga, when Kakashi met his father, Sakumo Hatake, at this border after Kakashi's death, Sakumo Hatake had been dead for decades.

"You did a really good job, kid!" Hashirama Senju laughed heartily, patting Yua on the shoulder.

You Ya looked completely bewildered: "How...how did you guys know?"

Tobirama Senju explained with a smile, "In this land of the dead, we can see some things about the present world."

You Ya was stunned for a moment, then his face turned pale.

Mito Uzumaki quickly explained, "Don't worry, we can't see what's going on between you and Tsunade. There seems to be some kind of rule here."

You Ya breathed a sigh of relief; if he couldn't see it, then it was alright.

However, Yuya quickly realized what was happening and looked at Hashirama Senju with surprise: "You've been staying here all these years?"

Hashirama Senju scratched his cheek and nodded.

Tobirama Senju nodded and gestured behind him with his chin: "And... there are some old fogies here too."

Yuya followed Tobirama Senju's gaze and immediately smiled.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara, Torifu Akimichi, and...

Uchiha Kagami...

"Uncle Jing..." You Ya called out with a smile.

Uchiha Kagami had now returned to his youthful appearance. He looked at Yua and nodded with a smile.

After regaining his youth, Youya's eyesight became excellent, and he easily spotted the evasive guy.

"Hmph, you think you're hiding well? Danzo! Come out here!"

Danzo Shimura, who was about thirty years old, had a livid face, but he had no choice but to step forward under Tobirama Senju's stern gaze.

Yuya put her hands on her hips and couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Shimura Danzo, who had a cowardly expression on his face.

Then he laughed louder and louder.

He truly hadn't expected that in the Naruto world, people could find a way to continue seeing what's happening in the present world after they die...

—[This probably wouldn't work in the original work, since Sakumo Hatake didn't know Kakashi's specific situation. Is it okay if I make this my own assumption?]

"If... if I had known it would be like this..." Yuya smiled and then shook his head.

Hashirama Senju scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, "If I had known it would be like this, these guys wouldn't have gone against you, and we would have missed out on a lot of fun."

Tobirama Senju nodded: "It's incredibly boring here, so we're just hoping your situation will give us some laughs."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju turned his head and glanced over Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and others.

These people immediately lowered their heads from the bottom of their hearts.

Damn it, if they knew they would actually see their teacher after they died, and that the teacher could see exactly what they had done, they would be out of their minds to target Yuya.

"When you all came down here, you were all telling me that You Yaqian wasn't very good. Why are you all so quiet now? If I put you up there, could you good-for-nothings do a better job than him?"

With that, Tobirama Senju took Yua's hand and led her toward a certain place.

Youya was pulled toward that place, and soon, Youya saw a smooth, flat square stone standing on the ground.

"This is?"

Tobirama Senju smiled and raised his hand, channeling chakra into the square stone.

A moment later, an image appeared on the screen.

Youya stared wide-eyed at the square stone in astonishment.

"We don't know how this thing works, but it does look a lot like those things you made, what are they called, televisions, yes, televisions."

Although we can't participate in the real world here, we can use this to see what's happening in the world.

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju gently waved his hand, and the image on the screen gradually became clear.

A scene featuring Tsunade appeared.

Yuya was a little worried. Would Tsunade be too distraught because of his suicide attempt?

then……

Then Yuya was completely dumbfounded as he watched Tsunade on the screen, her hands flying across the keyboard, her face full of anger as she hurled insults at people online.

Tobirama Senju laughed heartily: "That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the perspective can be changed."

As he spoke, Tobirama Senju changed his perspective and saw Yuki sitting at home, arguing with Tsunade on his computer.

You Ya: "..."

Hashirama Senju laughed and patted Yua on the shoulder: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Yua only did that to cheer up his mother. Yes, yes, that must be it."

"Pfft!" Mito Uzumaki burst out laughing.

You Ya: "..."

The others who had come along also laughed.

You Ya watched the travelogue on the screen, who was getting more and more excited as he cursed at the computer. He didn't think there wasn't much truth in what that bastard was saying...

"Fine, fine, fine." You Ya grinned through gritted teeth. "I'll wait here until you fucking come down here, then we'll see how you explain things to me!"

Everyone else looked at Youya with schadenfreude, but Youya glared back defiantly.

A short while later, the screen showed the darkness of night.

Hashirama Senju shrugged: "That's the use of this thing. The time ratios on both sides are different. In other words, it's thirty times slower here than in the real world."

So using this to play videos is like fast-forwarding thirty times.

However, we all have various abilities, and it's not like we can't watch anything after fast-forwarding 30 times.

You Ya nodded to indicate that he understood.

Tobirama Senju could tell from Yua's nonchalant expression that Yua had misunderstood.

Then, Tobirama Senju smiled, and placed a hand on Yua's shoulder, asking, "You didn't think that was all, did you?"

You Ya looked puzzled: "What other situations are there?"

Tobirama Senju laughed heartily, then reached out and swiped the screen, instantly changing the scene.

Yuya looked up, completely bewildered, then turned to look at Mitokado Yan.

Because... the image of Mitokado Homura appeared on the screen, and Mitokado Homura was inspecting the situation of Konoha Village while wearing the Hokage robe.

Mitokado Yan covered his cheek, looking like he couldn't bear to watch.

"This is not our world. In this world, the one who succeeded the Third Hokage is that old man, Mitokado Homura."

Keep reading, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Tobirama Senju chuckled; he had deliberately chosen this moment.

You Ya was a little confused. What did the images on this screen mean?

Then, Yuya saw Mitomon En patrolling Konoha and eventually ending up at the women's bathhouse.

You Ya: "..."

Turning to look at Mitokado Yan, Mitokado Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

After that, Youya continued watching.

In the scene, Mitokado Homura straightened his collar and then walked openly into the women's bathhouse.

Naturally, after a series of screams, he was kicked out and ended up with a black eye, the cause of which was unknown.

After that, Mitokado En returned to work in the village.

Not long after, someone reported that the people from Kumogakure had attacked.

Mitokado Homura slammed his fist on the table in a rage: "Damn it! My teacher just died and these guys are already here. Aren't they bullying an honest guy like me?!"

Fight! We must fight!

Yuya stared strangely at Mitokado Homura in the image; he had a feeling...

This person with Mitokaku's insomnia might be from the same hometown...

Yes, true fellow townsmen...

The scene continues, with Mitokado Homura leading the Konoha ninjas to repel the Kumogakure army, but people from other ninja villages appear.

Mitokado Homura was ultimately forced to agree to cede most of the spoils in exchange for the other ninja villages withdrawing their troops.

Youya fell silent.

"He's not as good as you in this respect," Tobirama Senju commented.

You Ya shook his head: "They're all the same."

Tobirama Senju looked at Yua in surprise, but Yua did not speak, only quietly watching the scene.

After careful consideration, Tobirama Senju understood.

During the First Shinobi World War, Yua did something similar to Homura Mitokado, except that he didn't betray Konoha's interests to other villages like Homura did.

It's just a beautification disguised as cooperation; in essence, Konoha Village still sold out its own interests.

However, Tobirama Senju understood, as it was later proven that Yua's concession during the First Shinobi World War gave Konoha a valuable ten years to develop.

Ten years later, Konoha Village became invincible.

And now he stands at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Youya continued watching the content on the screen.

Mitokado Homura considered the First Shinobi World War a great humiliation. He stopped visiting the women's bathhouse and spent all his time in his office, eating and sleeping there. He even had the agreements signed with the other four shinobi villages enlarged and posted on the walls and ceiling of his office so that the first thing he saw every morning was these documents.

You Ya's lips twitched even more. Why don't you just hang a gall bladder directly?

For the next ten years, Mitokado Homura worked diligently to develop Konoha Village's economy and military, waiting for the opportunity to avenge his defeat.

And soon, the opportunity came.

When the Second Shinobi World War broke out, Mitokado Homura directly joined the battle, fighting against four other ninja villages and forcing them to back down.

Mitokado Homura considered tracing back to the locations of these ninja villages.

However, due to the extended battle lines, Konoha Village did not have a large population, and naturally, the number of ninjas was also limited.

It may seem satisfying to attack someone else's home base, but it makes your own territory vulnerable to threat.

Mitokado Yan had no choice but to retreat, but there were conditions to his retreat.

Mitokado Haru directly demanded a large amount of resources from the other four villages, thus reclaiming all the humiliation he suffered last time.

You Ya stroked his chin and commented, "Isn't this done quite well? Why did you make that expression earlier, Uncle-Master?"

Mitokado Homura continued to cover his face, while Senju Tobirama, suppressing a laugh, continued, "Keep watching, keep watching, you'll find out later."

You Ya continued reading, puzzled:

Then it was discovered that after Mitokado Homura won, he had everything removed from the Hokage's office.

After that, he resumed his glorious past of going to the women's bathhouse whenever he had free time.

That's not the point. The point is that this guy started getting married.

Yes, and he married three at once.

Yuya looked at Mitokado Yan with a strange expression.

The others had obviously seen it before, but that didn't stop them from continuing to laugh.

However, that's not all. You thought there were only three? No, no, no. Later, the beautiful Uchiha clanswoman Mitokado Homura married two, the Hyuga clan married one, and other large and small clans had some and some didn't.

The final tally was astounding! After the Second Shinobi World War, Mitokado Homura was already over thirty, and he had married eighteen wives?!

then……

Then, more than a decade later, Mitokado Homura's health collapsed due to frequently playing cards with three or four wives at night. He eventually passed away, handing the Hokage position to Namikaze Minato.

You Ya: "..."

You Ya fell silent.

Seeing Mitokado Homura's regretful last words, "If only I had known, if only I had known, I would have married a few more..." even though it wasn't the first time they had seen it, Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama still couldn't help but burst into laughter.

You Ya couldn't help but laugh.

This fellow villager is really something...

Even though he's not from my own world, it still makes me a little nervous. I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet him, and if so, should we exchange secret signals?

Yuya is already thinking about things like coded messages...

Because the person is already dead, Yuya will not feel tired.

Since there was nothing else to do here, Youya stayed in this special stone place and watched other people's lives unfold.

However, during the day, Yuya couldn't help but want to see how Tsunade was doing.

When Yuya saw Tsunade arguing with her son online, and that bastard Yuuki even created three or four alternate accounts to curse his father, he felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.

You just wait, you just wait!

Wait till you get down here, I'll beat you to a pulp!
