News travels fast in the smaller countries about a shinobi for hire who never asks for more than people can offer and who always gets the job done. A trustworthy killer, a paradoxical thing. He gets many nicknames, ranging from hilarious to downright terrible. His personal favorite was uttered by a wide-eyed kid, staring at him like he hung the moon and stars in the night sky. Snow Cat, he had been dubbed that mission. It's stupid and exactly like something you would expect from a little civilian kid but it's leagues better than "Senju Demon", "White Ghost", or any number of rabbit-related names. Yuki cackles any time he's reminded of those particular nicknames.
The damn freeloader, because that's what he is, also refuses to elaborate any on that leech comment. It has to do with the rotting-plant-vine-controlling chakra that's embed so deeply into his (relatively, depending on your point of view) new chakra, though. He's sure of it.
More than a killer for hire, he's become a healer for hire. He hadn't expected it but he supposed it makes sense. The smaller countries rarely have enough money for a good doctor and, beyond that, civilian doctors are far behind shinobi healers when it comes to medical knowledge. Something he attempts to rectify whenever he stays in a town with a healer. Some are receptive to his teachings. Others are less so.
One threw things at him for the remainder of his stay. It was very annoying.
For the most part, though, he stays on the edges of Fire Country. It's his home, after all, even if it's an alternative version. He also keeps careful track of any bijuu in his range and the Uzumaki and Uchiha in relation to the bijuu. He's not sure if all the Uchiha can control the demons or if it was something unique to Madara, but the sealing of the bijuu had been the first step towards the second war. Something he's trying to avoid, if possible.
It's a... surprisingly nice lifestyle. He doesn't have his lab, of course, or his students (or his brothers, always a burning loss) but he has time to research the more paper-bound things he's come up with and he has enough money to live comfortably. He lacks the protection the village had offered him but he has his summons and they have assured him that he's welcome to reverse summon himself whenever he wants to visit or needs to get out of a situation quickly. Hashirama would undoubtedly laugh at him if the idiot knew... then of course pout and grumble and act depressed about Tobirama's abandonment of the village, even if it wasn't technically his choice.
...He really needs his lab.
