Novel Full Chapter 770
Chapter 770: Chapter 697: Changing the Trajectory of Destiny Chapter 770: Chapter 697: Changing the Trajectory of Destiny “Minato, why are you growing cat ears…”
Xinjiuna, with a drunken expression, was lying on the back of Minato Namikaze, blurting it out with a bit of a slur.
While speaking, she kept giggling and playing with Minato’s hair.
And this Fourth Hokage of Konoha, known as the Golden Flash for his blond hair, was somewhat troubled as he carried his wife, continuously jumping through the forest.
Tao Yu, following behind, smiled and said,
“Her body is fine; I cooked the mushrooms well, no big issue.”
“Xinjiuna’s physique is better than mine; she’s too confident, alas, I told her not to drink anymore.”
Minato Namikaze also sighed.
Xinjiuna still found it too tempting and drank quite a lot of the poisoned mushroom soup.
However, Minato hadn’t misspoken; as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and possessing the Uzumaki Clan’s constitution, Xinjiuna’s self-healing ability was absolutely top-tier among ninjas.
Subsequently, Tao Yu also went back home with them.
Even before entering the house, Tao Yu could hear some quiet arguing; there were already several people inside.
“Kakashi, do you have to be a hindrance?
If you’re so free, go teach Naruto how to use a shuriken.”

This was a somewhat complaining voice, followed immediately by a woman’s voice,“Obito, I was talking about you!”
“Brother Kakashi, teach me shuriken, please?”
This voice carried a childlike tone, slightly lispy.
Although he hadn’t met them in person, Tao Yu roughly understood who each person was inside.
Rin, who had come over to help cook, along with Kakashi and Obito Uchiha!
Judging from the voice, Naruto must be about three or four years old now, still babyish.
And it should be Minato Namikaze’s Minato.
“Konoha’s White Fang hasn’t died either; it must be around this time frame that things started changing, but surprisingly enough, Kakashi still ended up in Minato’s team,”
Tao Yu remembered, mainly because his father had died, which deeply affected Kakashi, causing some teammates to not be able to stand him before he transferred to Minato’s team.
Maybe now there was another reason.
And, even as changes occurred, the Ninja World hadn’t yet been utterly torn apart and was still amidst a great war.
From the snippets of information he had overheard, there had been no trace of the Sage of Six Paths; Minato Namikaze was completely unaware of it.
It seemed in their eyes; the thriving Konoha was the normal historical context.
Pushing open the door with Xinjiuna on his back, the arguing inside immediately stopped.
Tao Yu also saw Obito Uchiha, wearing protective goggles.
At this moment, he hadn’t lost an eye.
Both eyes gave Tao Yu a solid impression of their powers, seeming even more potent than those of the Sharingan he held, probably at three tomoe.
But definitely not Mangekyo.
Although Kakashi had lost a Sharingan, with his father’s guidance and his own talent, coupled with not becoming unmotivated, his power likely still surpassed his peers from the original timeline.
As for Rin Nohara, she was following the rules as usual, apparently still at the Chunin level.
Little Naruto was chubby, quite babyish, and was much cuter, showing no signs of malnutrition.
His face lacked the whisker marks; it made one want to pinch his cheeks until they cried.
As the son of the Hokage, cherished immensely, even if he fell into the Abyss, Naruto’s childhood was utterly different from the original.
This time, seeing that Minato had Xinjiuna on his back, Naruto’s little face also showed a nervous expression.
Walking over with short little steps, his voice babyish,
“Daddy, what happened to Mommy?”
“She’s just drunk, don’t worry.”
Minato didn’t mention the poisonous mushrooms.
“We have guests at home.
I’ll take Xinjiuna to the room to rest, and you guys entertain them for a while.
Rin, please be prepared to make a bit more food,”
Minato said apologetically to Rin.
The three were his subordinates and his disciples, a very close relationship.
And although Xinjiuna was a qualified mother when Minato was often busy with administration, things could get chaotic.
During such times, Rin’s gentle character and skilled housekeeping were a massive help.
“Alright.”
Rin responded gently, then curiously looked at Tao Yu.
They knew the usual freeloaders well, like Lord Jiraiya.
This was their first time seeing this one.
He looked very young.
“You can call me Jack; I suppose I’m a friend of your teacher.”
Tao Yu casually smiled.
In fact, among those from Konoha, Minato Namikaze was the most approachable, second only to Hashirama.
Madara Uchiha was pretty approachable too, for Tao Yu’s teachings and perception capability could easily sort things out with him.
But he was too proud, unlike Minato Namikaze who was more laid-back.
“The guest is a Pioneer, right?
There have indeed been several groups of Pioneers in the village recently.”
Kakashi was still wearing his fox mask, as he was still serving in the ANBU.
He was aware of some recent situations in the village.

Although previously, the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, along with Madara Uchiha and Tao Yu, had reached a consensus,
it was only limited to a few people.
For Kakashi, he only had his own ANBU network of information.
“Indeed, a Pioneer.
You’re very perceptive, huh.”
“Of course, Big brother Kakashi is Konoha’s youngest Jonin, a famous prodigy.”
Naruto was somewhat proud as he spread his hands, as if trying to indicate a great genius.
But those short arms made the gesture look rather comical.
Such flattery made Obito Uchiha snort beside him, seemingly muttering under his breath that he also had the strength of a Jonin, appearing quite dissatisfied.
“Oh, Kakashi Hatake, right?
I’ve heard of the rumors about you and your father, the White Fang of Konoha.
Both famous powerhouses.
In our world of Pioneers, your renown has also spread.”
Hearing Tao Yu’s words, Kakashi couldn’t help but stand up straighter, feeling quite proud of his father.
Without the devastation caused by White Fang’s death, Kakashi’s mental state had no flaws by now.
“Pioneers, eh?
I’ve only handled infection missions in border villages and killed some Cockroach People when fissures appeared.
I heard there are many other different worlds, right?”
Obito Uchiha’s face also showed a hint of curiosity at this time.
So far, the impression that the Abyssal Fragments had left him was quite bad.
The influence in the Land of Fire was still minimal, still picturesque and serene.
But the problems at the borders and those neighboring Cockroach People were quite disgusting.
And the environment there was appalling, even more desolate than in the Land of Wind, with bad air quality.
Although in the village there had always been rumors about Pioneers, aside from the initial intelligence from when relations were first established, subsequent trading Pioneers had brought much more detailed and meticulous information.
But for ninjas, being completely surrounded by the Cockroach People’s World, the Land of Fire only felt like the Cockroach World was the entirety of the Abyss…
So encountering a Pioneer presented right before them, they still felt a bit curious.
“So many, more than you can imagine, even infinite.
The worlds I have visited are but a drop in the ocean.”
Rin Nohara continued cooking in the kitchen, while Naruto clung to Kakashi and Obito Uchiha began to continually seek information from Tao Yu about nearby circumstances, occasionally expressing astonishment.
Even though his skills were already quite impressive, Obito Uchiha’s personality was still one of surprise.
As Minato Namikaze just finished watching the dancing figurines and Rin Nohara was almost finished with the food preparations,
Tao Yu then sensed a strong presence nearby that was rapidly approaching.
Before long, a figure with white hair appeared at the window, a man with the character for “oil” on his forehead squatting on the windowsill, smilingly looking at the food on the table,
“It seems I’ve come at just the right time, uh, are there guests…”
Jiraiya was about to say “I’ll help myself” then,
but upon glancing at Tao Yu on the sofa, he was slightly startled; he hadn’t noticed him beforehand either!
Who was this powerful figure that suddenly appeared?
A Pioneer?!
“Teacher, this is…
Mr.
Jack, a Pioneer.”
Minato Namikaze still adhered to the previous agreement, not even fully informing Jiraiya.
But Jiraiya, being extremely skilled in espionage, just from Minato Namikaze’s brief hesitation combined with the purpose of his visit, looked at Tao Yu in surprise,
“I came here wanting to ask when the old man started studying Immortal Technique, wondering if something recent had happened.
It seems, it has something to do with this friend…”
Tao Yu at this moment was still focused on Rin’s dishes, which aesthetically weren’t as good as Shirou’s or Huang Rong’s, but were still quite decent.
Hearing Jiraiya’s words, he also looked back,
“Oh right, Jiraiya, you’ve mastered Sage Mode, right?
I wonder if I could see it.”
Tao Yu absorbed useful abilities from Konoha, with Hashirama’s Sage Mode being one of the observations.
However, the feeling Hashirama gave to Tao Yu was more like he had a natural Sage Body, purely supported by innate talent, a mix of instinct and talent.
As he was researching the integration of Cultivation Techniques to make Sage Mode permanent, Tao Yu stopped bothering him.
He was planning to delve into it after he had completed his work, starting by learning other things first.
Now that he saw Jiraiya, it was also a chance to see the typical ninja use of Sage Mode…
Having obtained the Taiji Xuanqing Path and integrating his own abilities, one prominent characteristic was mobilizing Nature’s Power with every action, which Sage Mode was also quite similar to.
After the eventual formation of the Ten-Tails, it should also count as a type of passive Sage Mode.
Understanding a little beforehand wouldn’t be harmful.
The normal Sage Mode would probably just be a lower substitute for his now integrated abilities.
But if he managed to manifest Ten-Tails, then it could once again be subsumed under his own Cultivation Technique…
