Naruto didn't really realize much was different. She found her mind wandering less, paying more attention to the text, and being far more quieter in class.

Feeling that sort of pain that could give anyone nightmares was hardly something one dwelled upon, but Naruto realized that something had stuck with her when she'd left Mito's mind.

She could read. She could actually read, and it was tremendous help. She was able to finish her Sexy no Jutsu in a couple more weeks with the more advanced copy of Anatomy of the Body, giving her far more free time.

But she was suddenly restless, and she kind of wanted to see what another person's life was like. If she couldn't visit the living, then she would have to make do with the Shodai.

But there was something she was missing. She didn't want to see how she died - Kyuu had made that clear.

So, focusing on the Shodai's early life about five weeks after the first attempt with Mito, Naruto sat in her kitchen, a blank sheet she was supposed to do a report on in front of her with her journal.

Kurama had found out, which made him cling onto her mind like a parasite. He was very interested in seeing the Shodai's early life, if it were possible.

"Senju Hashirama."

Like last time, dizziness made the room spin. But it was longer this time. And just as Naruto felt like throwing up her ramen (not a good idea), she blacked out.

She felt Kurama with her when she returned to consciousness, but this time it was at a funeral

"He was only seven!" she heard a child cry out.

"Enough, Hashirama."

"But -"

A man loomed over Hashirama.

And struck him.

Hashirama fell onto the ground.

Naruto realized that she'd signed up for watching his entire life. His ENTIRE life.

...We're in trouble.

Naruto sent agreement to him.

~:~

Naruto landed back in her apartment, this time far less of a child.

Even watching his life had been painful. She had suffered with him Madara's betrayal.

But she simply did what she had last time, this time less child and more adult. She knew the consequences. She knew a lot about Hashirama and his side.

Perhaps in a year she would do Madara's side.

For now, she would have to focus on learning other things. Academy-level things.

Her mouth quirked a bit as she realized she now knew what sex was. And found herself realizing that the Shodai Hokage had always been in love with both Mito and Madara.

But he'd sided with Mito because he had loved her enough. Had sided with Konoha because it was his home.

Nomadic or not, the Senju and Uchiha had always been a bit at odds.

Using this, Madara had poisoned some of the minds of the Uchiha, and it had grown.
