First Steps
It was dawn when Honoka, Mikomi, Himawari, and Jiraiya were already on the road going to Konoha. For the three women had been together for days and were afraid that enemy forces were already taking action.
"Jiraiya-sama, how much time to arrive in Konoha?" Honoka asked, already wanting to start a conversation.
And Sannin answered.
"I believe that at this rate, I think three to four hours. We will get there before sunset."
Himawari, who was now in primary control of the body, was wondering if there were chances that enemies would also return to the past. His reason for doubt arose from the probable existence of divine entities that are evil.
To answer all her doubts she asked Mikomi.
'Mikomi-chan, We all know that the gods guarantee divine balance, but I have a question: are there demons that try to control the universe?'
'Yes, but it is not the beasts with tails, for example, Jashin the one that Hidan was a priest in our future is a demon.' Mikomi answered bluntly.
Uzumaki was intrigued by the response and sought to know more.
'The most important thing is how did they come about?'
'They arose shortly after a divine war, before mortal beings were created, in the universe there were only three gods: Kami-sama, the supreme ruler of the universe who maintains the balance between all things; Shinigami-sama who, despite his frightening appearance, controls life and death; last and not least Jikan no Hogosha the guardian who preserves time. ' Mikomi continued.
Himawari understood but still had some doubts and again asked
'I understood. The three gods gave rise to various entities that control nature such as animals, plants, and elements of nature. But what caused the divine war that gave rise to the demons? '
'Many of them were wanting more power that caused a big imbalance. The war was very cruel which resulted in the banishment of a third of the entities to the Makai World which where today demons were sealed. ' Mikomi finally concluded.
Himawari then realized that to conquer the world of the living and the universe, demons always acted through agents who facilitated their plans, such as the Otsutsukis.
A woman was walking after spending several days in Tanzaku-gai city monitoring suspicious activities that could affect her master's plans. Until she arrived at an isolated cabin where a meeting would take place.
Other hooded figures in the room were waiting for someone when the woman entered.
"What happened to make you late, Beratori?" asked a hooded man to her left.
"Forgive me Yujiro-san, I spent several days monitoring the steps of a certain Senju who is planning to return to Konoha," Beratori answered Yujiro's question.
Before the two could continue, an imposing figure appeared in the center, drawing the attention of everyone who bowed in a sign of respect.
"Master-sama !" Beratori and Yujiro said when they saw the leader of the group.
"Very interesting Beratori, apparently Tsunade Senju plans to return home a decade in advance. This makes us contact the leaders of those two organizations. Yujiro I want you to monitor the steps of Orochimaru, the former team partner of Senju. " He ordained the individual who is known only as a Master.
"Yes, master, I will keep an eye on that snake according to your order," Yujiro replied without hesitation.
"Ishimori I want you to go to Konoha and do your best to keep the course as it was predestined, just contact the Masked Man after the 10th of October next year and during that period stay out of the radar of the enemies of our mission. "As soon as Master sent Ishimori he nodded.
After the meeting, the members of this unknown organization, each member left for their mission, and only the leader, who was sensing the course of history, was left alone.'They think that only they went back to the past to change history, they are very mistaken, I and my brothers also went back to speed up the opening of the Jigoku Portal.'
In the distance, a being that looked like a plant man, revealing to be Zetsu who observed the whole meeting without being seen.
"Apparently this group is not a threat to the plan." Black Zetsu commented.
"How interesting it is better to return and inform Madara about the latest developments." White Zetsu said.
"That's right when the time is right they will probably come to us" Black Zetsu concluded.
After the conversation, the two disappeared and went underground.
In the district of the Uchiha clan, but specifically in the home of the leader of the said clan, the day started with a more cheerful atmosphere due to the leader Fugaku Uchiha receiving the news that he would be a father for the second time.
- House of the Uchiha Clan Head-
"Fugaku-kun I have wonderful news to speak with you and Itachi-kun," Mikoto said ready to reveal the good news.
Fugaku upon hearing that his wife had spoken was confused and narrowed his eyes suspiciously, suspecting that she would say something about Kushina Uzumaki his best friend. Then he questioned her.
"Mikoto. Is the news you want to give about Kushina-san?
Mikoto promptly responded.
"It's not about Kushina. And much better, I'm pregnant!"
Fugaku and Itachi who were also at the table were surprised by the news and went to hug their future mother.
"Another member who will honor the Uchiha's name is on the way. Itachi, you have a responsibility to guide him on this journey by proving himself in value. " The Uchiha patriarch proclaimed in a slightly resentful tone without clearly targeting anyone.
Fugaku's statement was not ignored by Mikoto, who lately heard murmurs from members dissatisfied with the clan's situation in the village and she felt the need to warn Minato and Kushina before the situation got any worse.
But the thoughts were soon forgotten, as she wanted to seize the moment and wanted to announce her pregnancy to the rest of the kinsmen at the next clan meeting.
The Third Ninja World War was the most devastating conflict that the Elementary Notions have suffered in its entire history, with people losing family, friends, their homes, and unfortunately their lives. One of the biggest consequences of the whole war was people living in several refugee camps.
And one of those refugee camps scattered across the Land of Fire was Zeitaku Naito, who took shelter in the camp to begin his mission. That day would have an illustrious presence, the newly retired Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi went to visit the camp on behalf of the Yondaime to see what conditions those people were living.
Zeitaku, seeing in the direction of Sarutobi, felt chills down his spine, because he began to see visions that pointed to a dark future for Sandaime, but were soon put aside when the older man began to speak.
"The last war left deep scars on all of us, especially for many of you civilians who were trapped in the middle of the battles. Many lost parents, children, brothers, friends, and their homes causing the creation of several refugee camps like the one we are in. today. If you need a safe place to live, Konohagakure will have doors to welcome you. "
Many of those present were moved by the message of hope in the speech. They saw that they would have a new life in Konoha.
Zeitaku was getting tense as Sandaime's speech continued due to what he saw in the visions.
-First vision-
A colossal-sized fox with nine tails is attacking Konoha when he suddenly saw a blond man and behind him is Shinigami pulling his soul only to be interrupted by a young woman with the color of night hair that radiated the light that seemed to originate from the sun that looked like calm the fox that disappeared soon after.
-final of the first vision-
-Second vision-This vision in turn was shorter, in it, Zeitaku saw a monkey fighting a snake, the monkey was losing when a frog and a panda tried to intervene without success. Even with the attempted help, the snake won the fight, but not before suffering heavy damage.-end the second vision-
-Third vision-
The last view was the most confusing, it was simply an altar with six colored gems colored with the green color emitting a glow that illuminated the entire place.
-end of the third vision-
After the manifestation of the views, Zeitaku continued to pay attention to the speech and saw that there was a possibility that he could move to Konoha. For there he would have a chance to find help on his mission.
- Rice Fields Country-
In a hidden laboratory, a man is conducting research, research using humans as guinea pigs. However, at this very moment, he doesn't know if he is happy or furious for leaving Konoha so suddenly. This man was none other than Orochimaru, a member of the legendary Sannin.
'Ku ku ku I think I did the right thing to leave that village after Sarutobi-sensei withdrew from the Hokage position, if it weren't for Yujiro-san I would have had a lot of headaches, he even suggested I create one hidden village in that country, but I need at least a decade to establish it, but I can put my experiments into practice on the ninjas I will recruit. 'Orochimaru thought about his meeting with Yujiro.
Flashback
A certain snake was in a laboratory doing its research in search of immortality peacefully. Orochimaru who of the Legendary Sannin was the most intelligent and the most unscrupulous, looking for dark means to achieve his goals.
His period as a Konoha ninja seems to be over, he knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi would retire from the Hokage position as a result of the peace treaty that ended the Third Ninja World War. He feared that with the new Hokage his experiments could be discovered even more after he saw that he was being seen by an unknown man.
"Who are you and what do you want here !?" Orochimaru was shocked that someone was in his laboratory since that place was well hidden
"Easy, I'm just a person interested in your experiments and I want to propose a deal with you" replied the man who is coming out of the shadows.
"I understand, but first I need to know your name and what do you want to propose to me?" The Snake Sannin asked curiously.
"My name is Yujiro, Orochimaru-sama, I just want to finance your projects that may be of interest to my master. And I believe that your experiments can be discovered by Konoha sooner or later." Yujiro replied without ceremony.
Orochimaru's reaction could not be otherwise, as he was fearful that his illegal scientific research could be discovered, even more so that his name was rejected by the position of Hokage.
Since then Orochimaru has been looking for ways to escape from Konoha in the most discreet way possible and help from this potential ally could be of great help.
"As a testament to my goodwill Orochimaru-sama, I believe you need a young pupil who is also good at the art of espionage, I think he is called Kabuto Yakushi, who is currently under the tutelage of a certain former teammate of Sandaime Hokage. " Yujiro said he had already completed his proposal.
Upon hearing that Yujiro said the snake he opened his eyes wide wondering how he had so much information.
"I already know, you must be wondering where you got this information from? It's simple, I have my contacts scattered around the Elementary Nations that give me the information." Yujiro concluded.
Orochimaru saw that he had everything to gain by allying with Yujiro, but little did he know that he was doing a much bigger plan than even he with his unusual intelligence could not understand.
Flashback end
After reflecting on the alliance with Yujiro, Orochimaru looked around and said.
"It's a shame that I couldn't have brought all of my experiments, so they could improve them without having so many inconveniences."
Unknown to Sannin, Yujiro was staring at him with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, in Konoha, the situation was tense after Orochimaru suddenly disappeared and to make matters worse it was discovered that he kidnapped children to do experiments. In one of these experiments, the sannin tried to replicate the Kekkei Genkai of Shodaime Hokage's wooden release in babies which resulted in the death of almost everyone, except for one in which he was unknown to Orochimaru.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is known as the Professor and God Shinobi after the meeting with Minato and the council, stayed at home reflecting on his pupils, and lamenting the path that Orochimaru took that led into the darkness.
'As I did not realize before that Orochimaru was taking this path, even if he realized that he would not have the courage to detain him' Hiruzen thought, regretting his alleged negligence with Orochimaru.
And to make things more difficult, Sandaime discovered that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer due to his smoking habit for years, hiding the fact from his wife Biwako and the whole village for different reasons.
Like a ninja who faithfully believes in the Will of Fire, Hiruzen in the situation he finds himself in would rather die fighting on the battlefield than be trapped in a hospital bed.
- Hokage Tower-
Earlier Minato received news that Jiraiya would arrive in Konoha with his companions on the afternoon of that day, he was trying to find out why his mentor was returning to the village with the company of two women.
He was in the office with Kushina when the secretariat announced the arrival of Jiraiya and the company to enter the office. Himawari and Mikomi who share the same body were paralyzed by seeing Hokage and his wife curiously staring at them.
For the love of Kami-sama, I can't believe I'm seeing Minato Jii-san and Kushina Baa-chan! ' Himawari thought of shock when seeing his grandparents.
"Good afternoon Jiraiya-sensei, in the letter that you sent to me said that you would arrive in town with a priestess with relations with the Hyuuga clan but not with another woman, I hope it has no relation to your 'researches'," Minato said it humorously.
"No, Minato, it has nothing to do with what you said, but possibly it has to do with Kushina," Jiraiya replied seriously.
Kushina upon hearing Jiraiya's statement arched his eyebrows and looked at the two women who were accompanying the Toad Sannin, especially for the young red-haired woman when he asked.
"Forgive me for my lack of manners, but what are your names?"
And the two young girls answered
"My name is Mikomi Misawa, I am a priestess of the Order of Moon Acolytes from Tea Country, of which the Hyuuga clan has a long relationship," Mikomi responded by introducing himself.
Honoka took a deep breath and responded proudly.
"And I am Honoka Uzumaki, a proud member of the most feared clan in the history of elementary nations."
The reaction could not be different, Minato and Kushina were in a state of shock to discover that in front of them was a member of the clan that many thoughts was extinct, as in the case of the Uzumaki. Kushina was so shocked that she had to be approached by her husband not to faint because thought that she was the last living Uzumaki.
Minato soon recovered and asked Honoka.
"What is the reason for you to come here to Konoha Honoka-san?"
And she responded promptly.
"My reason for coming here is to start looking for members of the Uzumaki clan spread across all Elementary Nations since Konoha is a place that is friendly to the Uzumaki. However, I prefer this personal mission to be secret, as we fear that hidden internal and external forces may get in the way. "
The Hokage was pleased with Honoka's response, however, he was curious when she spoke about hidden internal and external forces that could hinder the mission, but chose to ignore it due to the urgent news he had just discovered.
"Generally what I am going to talk about now could not have Mikomi-san and Honoka-san present, however sooner or later the whole village will know, Orochimaru left the village without leaving a trace. However, several crimes were committed by him, such as kidnapping, murder, and illegal experimentation on human beings. Therefore, his name was placed on the Bingo Book as an S-Rank rogue nin. Jiraiya-sensei I want you to monitor Orochimaru's steps through your spy network. " Minato said in a somber tone.
Everyone was tense with the news, especially Mikomi who could see that there was a big change in the timeline. In the original timeline, Orochimaru left the village after the Kyuubi attack leaving his former student Anko Mitarashi abandoned in the Land of the Sea.
'Apparently, someone very powerful alerted Orochimaru about the experiments being discovered and ran away.' thought Mikomi was trying to absorb the new information.
After more details about the Snake Sannin were presented, the group continued to talk about the two newly arrived women.
"It's alright with you two, if you have no problems you can settle in an apartment in the Ishibashi complex near the south gate."
"No problem, Yondaime-sama, we accepted the offer, but I would like to have an audience with the Hyuuga clan to deal with internal affairs." Mikomi accepted the offer because he knows the apartment he is going to live in and where Naruto lived most of his life in the original timeline.
"Of course, I just need to let Hiashi-san know and set the day for the meeting, you will be taken to see the apartment, and have a good afternoon," Minato said goodbye to the women.
After the two left the office, Mikomi and Honoka were talking on the way.
"The first step of our missions has been taken, now we must be aware now because we will have to face very powerful enemies that cannot be defeated conventionally," said Mikomi looking towards the apartment complex.
"Of course Mikomi-san, because it would be too perfect if it were just the two of us who had returned to the past; I believe that evil forces more powerful than the Otsutsukis are also in the past trying to change the course of history to achieve their evil goals. " Honoka replied.
The first step of the Great Mission has been taken, now our heroines need to join with allies who have several interests in common. But above all, the enemy also moved their pieces in this complex game in which every wrong move can ruin the entire match, which in this case is the fate of the world.
Hello dear readers, another chapter has come out. I hope everyone is safe. This fanfic will go on an indefinite hiatus, as I need to have a publication schedule and for that, I need to write several chapters in advance. And the other chapters that have been published will be revised. As soon as everything is resolved I will pass on more information. I also need a beta reader that is a native English speaker.
