Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Yubi's house is located on the relatively outskirts of Sunagakure.

Like other buildings, it appears to have the shape of a "sandbag".

I haven't been back for months, and the area in front of the door is covered in dust.

He unlocked the door and went inside.

Looking at the familiar house... I plopped down on the bed.

His residence was very simple, just a one-bedroom apartment.

This type of house is standard equipment for most ordinary ninjas in Sunagakure... Two portraits of deceased ninjas hang on the wall of the living room.

They are Yubi's parents.

The entire Shinobi World War left many children in the village orphaned.

Although he was a time traveler, losing his parents saddened Yubi, but he understood that he couldn't stop it.

I just hope that the two of them can survive to the end.

In the end… he still died young.

The chances of an ordinary ninja surviving on the battlefield are extremely slim.

This border mission allowed Yubi to experience it firsthand.

After resting for a while, Yubi was just about to get up to see if he could find something to eat when there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw that it was Chiyo.

"Grandma Chiyo".

Yubi immediately smiled.

"Yubi, did I disturb you?"

Chiyo Jishodo.

"No...please come in quickly."

Yubi turned and gestured for the old woman to come inside.

Then, somewhat awkwardly, I tidied up the messy room.

Since his parents passed away, Yubi, living alone, has completely let himself go... His room isn't exactly filthy, but things are scattered haphazardly, and his bed is never made, making it somewhat messy. His teachers at the ninja academy would occasionally come to tidy up, but it would always be like this again after a few days...

Chiyo didn't mind... In her eyes, Yubi was just a child after all.

It's already heartbreaking to see a child lose their parents... and this little kid doesn't even know how to do any housework.

"Your father, Hase, and mother, Rika, were both very good people...it's a pity..."

Chiyo sat down, glanced at the photos on the wall, and sighed softly.

"Grandma Chiyo came to see me, is there something you need?"

Yubi chuckled, went to the kitchen, and boiled a pot of hot water.

"I came to see you because I wanted to talk to you about scorpions..."

Chiyo said.

"Scorpion? What's wrong with him? I think he's fine..."

Yubi understood.

He thought Chiyo was looking for him because of the medical ninja or the puppeteer.

Seeing Yubi's cheerful appearance, Granny Chiyo felt a mix of emotions. She wished that Sasori could also maintain a sunny and optimistic attitude like Yubi.

Despite losing both parents, Yubi still exudes a cheerful and optimistic aura.

She has a great attitude.

Of course, the death of both parents will definitely have some impact on an individual.

But these things are hard to avoid... it all depends on your mindset.

"Arai told me some things about the two of you... You and Sasori have a good relationship," Chiyo said with a smile.

"Um...we're good friends."

Yubi sat opposite Chiyo, the image of Sasori's cold gaze flashing through his mind, especially during the time when they competed against each other during the raid on the border of the Land of Rain, the undisguised hostility... He spoke with conviction.

"When I met you at the border, I also noticed... that Scorpion seemed to care about you."

Chiyo had no doubt about what Yubi said.

"Since his parents passed away, Scorpion has become increasingly withdrawn. I'm so glad he can become your friend..." Chiyo said.

She's already noticed, hasn't she?

Upon hearing Chiyo's words, Yubi had a thought flash through his mind.

Chiyo likely had a premonition that Sasori, who grew up in 'darkness,' would eventually go down a path of no return.

As expected of a blood relative, Chiyo knows Sasori quite well... she already has an intuition about this.

Of course, it's also clear that Chiyo loves Sasori very much, but she just can't get into Sasori's tightly closed heart.

"I hope you can help me change Sasori, and try to communicate with him more. If you have a friend like me, I believe... he will get better and better." As a legendary female ninja of Sunagakure and a member of the high-ranking members, the old woman seemed to have lost all her glory when facing a little kid like Yubi. She was just an elder who cared about her grandson.

"I see!"

Yubi nodded emphatically.

It seems that he agreed to Chiyo's request.

But he understood very well that Scorpion's personality could not be changed.

Chiyo still doesn't realize this... The root of Sasori's problems is indeed his parents.

But what truly spurred his descent into darkness was the village's decision.

All Yubi can do is change the future direction of Sasori... As for his own temperament, that's hard to say.

"The most critical issue is... in the short term, I have no way, nor the ability, to change the village's will. This means that, at least for the foreseeable future, Sunagakure's plans will remain the same as in the original story... the death of White Fang, the peace talks between Sunagakure and Konoha, and the tools and interests created by the Third Kazekage's rule..."

Yubi thought to herself.

These... are the forces that pushed Scorpion into the abyss.

But there's nothing we can do... If we don't negotiate, we can't defeat Konoha. If we keep playing around like this, the fate of Sunagakure will be even more severe.

Immediately afterwards, Yubi got up and made Chiyo a cup of tea.

The old woman told him a lot about Scorpion's childhood... in an attempt to help Yubi understand Scorpion better.

Chiyo didn't get up and leave until it got dark.

Before leaving, I thanked Yubi again.

"Yubi...you're a very opinionated child. Regarding the Kazekage's suggestion today, whatever you think about it, if you have any ideas, you can tell me. Whether it's medical ninjutsu or puppetry...if you want to learn, I can teach you."

Chiyo said.

"Um."

Yubi nodded.

Then, Chiyo Oki, walking away, bowed politely.

"A very kind elder... but ultimately, he adhered to the consistent style of the Sunagakure leadership. His core values ​​hadn't changed; he still believed I was valuable to the village... but this value was based on his exploitability. There was a touch of humanity, but not much... Birds of a feather flock together, and perhaps this isn't unique to Sunagakure. In this ninja world, the governing styles of the great ninja villages are probably all the same..."

"After all... this is still the mainstream view of war."

Yubi smiled wryly, then shrugged, remembering the group in Konoha led by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However… sometimes these people go a bit too far and don’t know how to maintain balance at all.

A little while later, Yubi also came to the street.

I'm getting ready to find a restaurant to eat at.

Tomorrow morning, he still needs to register the newly developed ninjutsu.

Go to bed early.

"Yubi".

However, just as Yubi was about to step into a shop that served oden, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

He turned around and saw a little girl with her hair in a bun.

"Yakura".

Yubi called out the other person's name and smiled.

That's right, this girl is none other than Pakura, the 'hero' who was about to be buried by the village in the later stages of the Third Shinobi World War, and the successor of the Sunagakure bloodline limit, Scorch Release.

She was a little younger than him and Sasori, and was still in the Ninja Academy.

"I may not be able to change Sasori's personality, but I must save Sasori and Yoru's fate!"

As Yubi watched the little girl running towards him, a thought flashed through his mind.
