Traveling through Naruto, I am Uchiha Obito?

"You want to harm Sasuke? Are you crazy?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed.

"It's just taking precautions."

Danzo said in an icy tone

“I know very well that now is not the time. As long as Itachi is alive, I will not touch that brat—that is my promise to him.”

"So you have absolutely no concerns about the Whirlpool Cube?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Danzo.

He didn't answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question, but instead asked another one.

"Don't tell me you haven't thought about what Sasuke Uchiha will think of Konoha once he knows the truth about the massacre of his clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

"I just investigated the background of the Uzumaki Cube. The mother is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, and the father is an unknown Uchiha, most likely the product of a fleeting romance... Hmph, a filthy and despicable clan." Danzo said with disdain.

"But this kid is exceptionally talented. He not only awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, but also defeated Kakashi. At such a young age, he already possesses Kage-level strength; his future is limitless!"

Most importantly, he was not corrupted by the Uchiha's outdated ideology and had a weak sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan, so he naturally would not pose a threat to Konoha because of the clan's extermination.

Danzo's voice grew increasingly impassioned, a flicker of ambition burning in his eyes:

"The new Uchiha clan he initiated will be completely different! No longer a corrupt and narrow-minded clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, but a completely new Uchiha clan that is rooted in Konoha and identifies itself as a member of Konoha from bloodline to soul!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his forehead in deep thought. He had to admit that Danzo's proposal was extremely tempting. The Uzumaki Cube was far too valuable to Konoha, and as Hokage, he simply couldn't refuse Danzo's offer from Konoha's perspective.

"What...do you plan to do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was weary, but then it hardened again.

"I'm warning you, Danzo! That child is Jiraiya's disciple, my grand-disciple! Even if he's not a Konoha ninja yet, I will not allow you to harm him in the slightest!"

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to go head-to-head with a Kage-level powerhouse." Danzo curled his lip in disdain and turned to the door, saying:

"come in."

A slender girl wearing a fox mask silently entered the Hokage's office.

"Who is this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo with a puzzled expression.

"Shin, remove your mask," Danzo commanded.

The girl obeyed, raising her hand and slowly removing the fox mask with her slender, fair fingers. A face so exquisite it was almost bewitching was revealed—her skin was as delicate as a noblewoman's, showing no trace of the hardships endured by a ninja. Her large eyes were bright and alluring, with a small beauty mark under her right eye, adding to her captivating and seductive charm.

"That kid is a hybrid of Uzumaki and Uchiha, possessing the power of both bloodlines, and he's already so strong..." Danzo's voice was deep and seductive.

"If the power of the Thousand Hands of the Forest is added... what kind of terrifying monster would be born?"

"Wait... this child is..." Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly understood something, and his expression changed drastically.

“That’s right,” Danzo affirmed. “Although only my grandmother has the Senju bloodline, she is still the Senju Momoka. This child’s bloodline is still relatively pure. The Senju clan has been hiding their identities and blending into the village since the First Shinobi World War. It took me a lot of effort to find her.”

Danzo turned to the girl and issued a cold-blooded order:

"Shin, from this moment on, your name is Senju Momonogi. Your mission is to get close to the Uzumaki Cube by any means necessary, and keep him in Konoha forever. And—as quickly as possible, get pregnant with his child!"

"Danzo!!!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's roar echoed throughout the office.

Danzo ignored Sarutobi's rebuke. He gave the Hokage's seat, the symbol of supreme power, one last deep glance, then left the Hokage's office with Momono Senju without looking back.

Chapter 16 The Upcoming Chunin Exams

As soon as it was light, Naruto rushed to the meeting place of Team 7—it seemed that Kakashi-sensei had something important to announce.

Rubik's Cube had a rough idea: it was most likely related to the Chunin Exams. Thinking about it, Orochimaru's "Konoha Crush Plan," a key milestone in his own plan, was fast approaching...

For his own selfish reasons, the Rubik's Cube didn't want to interfere too much with the plot. This was his biggest "cheat code" besides the system, and interfering without sufficient benefit would only waste his advantage.

More importantly, his ridiculous system has a limitation: after defeating a ninja, he can only recruit them in their "current form." For example, even if he fairly defeats the cheap old man (Obito) disguised as "Tobi," he will only recruit "Tobi A." He won't get any of the Wood Release, Intangibility, or even the Summoning Gedo Mazo abilities he's been longing for; it's a complete loss.

Therefore, excessively altering the course of events would not benefit him much; on the contrary, it might cause him to lose the opportunity to become stronger. He would only attempt to intervene when he could ensure that he could recruit the ninjas he desired, or when he already possessed sufficient strength.

After all, the Fourth Shinobi World War will be the real stage for him to realize his dream.

"However, it's best not to let remnants of the old era like Uchiha Madara show up." Rubik's Cube muttered to himself, "His ability to simply stack numbers is useless even if you get your hands on it. A monster with a strong mechanism is much more appealing."

"Hmm~ I'm just killing time anyway, why don't I wander around the area? It's the most bustling place in the ninja world, there should be plenty of pretty girls..."

The Rubik's Cube unconsciously revealed a perverted smile just like Jiraiya's.

Konoha Street

The sun was shining brightly, and the bluestone pavement was so hot that it was almost burning your feet.

The streets were teeming with people. The dango shop was packed, tempura sizzling in the oil, the smoke and heat wafting through the air. The equipment displayed outside the ninja tool shop was of significantly higher quality than anything else in the ninja world.

The children's rosy cheeks radiated energy as they chased each other across the street corner. Looking up, one could see the portraits of the Hokage of each generation on the Hokage Rock, as if they were still silently protecting this bustling world beneath their feet.

"Reincarnation is truly a skill!" Rubik's Cube muttered to himself with a hint of grumbling as he walked down the streets of Konoha.

"If I had joined Konoha back then, I probably wouldn't even have had the will to work hard. It would have been so much more comfortable to just lie down and relax."

"Forget it, I won't pretend to be innocent after getting the benefit. There are so many people who want what I have but don't."

He shook his head. "I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm taking a day off today!"

The Rubik's Cube couldn't wait and plunged headlong into the bustling food street...

Under the blazing sun, Rubik's Cube walked along, munching as he went. His left hand clutched a bamboo skewer of three-colored takoyaki, while his right held a freshly cooked tempura, oil smeared onto the corners of his mouth. He squinted contentedly, humming a soft, satisfied hum.

"This is what life is all about! The miserable life I've been living before... I feel like I never want to leave this world again. I might as well just rot here. I never want to eat potatoes again..."

Recalling the hardships of those years, Rubik's Cube's eyes even welled up with tears.

"It seems Mr. Rubik's Cube is quite satisfied with life in Konoha."

A cool yet alluring voice sounded from behind.

"Hmm? Ah, it would be even more perfect if a cute young lady could keep me company." Rubik's Cube replied without turning his head, but a warning bell was ringing in his mind.

So they've finally shown themselves? Those tails that've been following us since we left…who sent them? The Third Hokage? No need. It must be Danzo. Anyway, we can always pin the blame on him.

"Judging from the voice, she's a female ninja, probably around my age... There shouldn't be anyone like her in the original story, right? Oh well, I guess I'll just fight her... What the hell?!"

Long, straight black hair, fishnet stockings, a slender waist, a fair and delicate face, and that alluring "absolute territory"... Brothers, I really like this one.

"Gulp..." The Rubik's Cube clearly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

His eyes were fixed on the beautiful young woman before him, as if drawn by a magnet. A blush quickly spread across the girl's fair cheeks.

A delicate, jade-like foot tapped the ground slightly uneasily, but those captivating eyes bravely met the stunned Rubik's Cube's gaze.

"Excuse me... who are you, beautiful lady?"

Rubik's Cube quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and forced out what he thought was a cool smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rubik's Cube." The girl bowed slightly, her clear, cool voice carrying a hint of gentleness.

"My name is Senju Momonogi. I was sent by the Hokage to replace Asuma-san. I will be in charge of showing you around Konoha. Please take good care of me~"

In the instant of the bow, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a glimpse of her shapely curves could be seen through the gap in her collar. True to his gentlemanly nature, Rubik's Cube only glanced at her briefly before looking away.

Forcibly suppressing Tobirama's restless lower body, Rubik's Cube's rationality temporarily prevailed.

A member of the Senju clan? They weren't mentioned in the original story... and so beautiful, both innocent and alluring—it's practically hitting all my fantasies... Does Konoha really understand this? They've jumped straight to a honey trap before even interrogating me, is this for real?

Forget it! Anyway, he was sent by the strategist (third generation), so the strategist wouldn't harm me!

No! Just because she says so doesn't mean it is! What if it's a honey trap? They say the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to lie. I can't be like that lecherous old man, Jiraiya…

Momono seemed to sense the doubt in Cube's eyes. She bit her cherry lips lightly and took out a mission scroll from her ninja tool pouch at her waist. She naturally took Cube's hand in one hand, placed the scroll in his palm, and leaned forward slightly, speaking to him.

"This is a mission sheet issued by the Hokage, with his autograph and seal on it."

Her lips parted slightly, her warm breath almost brushing against Rubik's Cube's earlobe, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you to the Hokage's office right now..."

Through the thin fabric, the girl's warm body seemed to emanate from him. Her long, shapely legs, encased in black fishnet stockings, brushed lightly against the inside of Rubik's Cube's thigh...

To be honest, he was forcibly taken away.

"Gulp..." His Adam's apple bobbed violently.

"No way...who came up with this idea? This is unethical! What kind of script is this?! This isn't how the game was supposed to go!"

Today, Rubik's Cube faces its most severe crisis since its time travel – a crisis of chastity.

……

When Rubik's Cube encountered a major crisis in his life, Team 7 also learned about the Chunin Exams from Kakashi.

"Damn Kakashi-sensei! It's almost noon, you're way too late!" Naruto roared, jumping up and down.

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but the veins on his forehead betrayed his terrible mood.

Even Sakura, who is usually obedient, unusually agreed with Naruto.

Knowing he had incurred the wrath of the crowd, Kakashi scratched his silver hair, put away his "Make-Out Paradise" sword, and addressed his disciples.

"Sorry, sorry, I just got lost on the road of life..."

"Nobody would believe that!" ×2

"Haha, let's not talk about that now. I have something important to tell you all today."

After saying that, Kakashi took out three application forms and handed them to the three people.

"The application form has the character '中' (meaning 'middle') written on it. After carefully examining the contents, it can be confirmed that the application form that Kakashi gave to the three members of Team 7 is indeed for the Chunin Exams."

"Although I didn't tell you beforehand, I recommended the three of you to participate in this Chunin Exam. Whether you participate or not is up to you. So, do you want to participate?"

Unlike Sakura's hesitation, Naruto and Sasuke agreed without hesitation.

"Great! The Chunin Exams! Once we become Chunin, we won't have to do these boring missions anymore! Right, Sasuke?"

"Naruto, I have a favor to ask you."

"Huh?! Hey Sasuke, are you sick or have diarrhea today? You seem really strange."

"Ugh, you're such a pain in the neck! That guy called Rubik's Cube is living at your place now, right? Tell him to come to the training ground tomorrow morning, I have something to ask him..."

Chapter 17 The Profound Meaning of the Third Hokage

Konoha Onsen

The Rubik's Cube soaked comfortably in the warm spring water, a rare moment of relaxation that allowed its body and mind to unwind. In this warm and comfortable environment, those troubling and wicked thoughts seemed to be temporarily suppressed in its heart.

In the end, Rubik's Cube held back. Although Momono Senju was indeed a beauty and very much to his liking, she was still just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, and he hadn't been born to that age yet.

Of course, more importantly, Rubik's Cube could probably guess the purpose of sending such a beautiful woman from Konoha to his side.

"Are they trying to use their beauty to keep me, a Kage-level fighter, here? Or are they coveting the bloodlines of the Uzumaki and Uchiha clans? But anyway, they've actually sent the entire Senju clan; they're really going all out."

The Cube sighed, explaining that before coming to Konoha, he had already guessed that Konoha would definitely try to keep him there, and that Danzo's old bastard would definitely covet his bloodline. That's why he revealed part of his strength to let them know that he was not a pushover.

But I never expected them to pull this stunt. Just because I'm Jiraiya's disciple, does that mean I'm a lecher? Minato, Naruto, Nagato—none of them are lecherous. So, am I the only one among Jiraiya's disciples who looks like a lecher? No wonder Konoha is an old-established ninja village; they really know how to judge people.

Seemingly recalling Momono's pitiful gaze, the Rubik's Cube immediately tapped its Tobirama. This was, after all, a public place, and it would be awkward if Tobirama used Hard Vortex Water Blade.

"Hey! You old pervert! You've been silent since just now, what have you been doing?" Mo Fang shouted from the other end of the hot spring.

That's right, Jiraiya is also in this hot spring, but unlike the Rubik's Cube where he cultivates his mind and body, Jiraiya is here to "cultivate his mind and body".

"Oh ho ho, so white and big... Turn a little more, turn a little more... So good!!!"

Jiraiya's voice was filled with ecstasy, and he was practically pressed against the gap in the wooden wall separating the men's and women's baths.

Rubik's Cube looked at his sticking-out buttocks, his face darkened, he stood up and kicked him.

"Are you even listening to me?!"

“Ouch——!!!”

A commotion and whispers came from the women's bath next door, followed by the rustling sound of towels being put on, as the female guests left the hot spring one after another.

"Ugh! You little devil Rubik's Cube! Look what you've done! You've ruined all the inspiration I was just getting into!" Jiraiya wailed, clutching his backside.

“Hehe,” Rubik’s Cube glanced at the big red footprint on Jiraiya’s butt and wondered if he hadn’t kicked him hard enough. “I was indeed doing a ‘good’ thing, and you’re not wrong about that.”

"You traitor! I, Jiraiya, have been wise and virtuous all my disciples have respected me. How could I have accepted such a rebellious person as you!" Jiraiya was heartbroken.
