Sasuke, Jugo, Suigetsu, Itachi, and Orochimaru were walking around, looking for the Uchiha basement.
Suddenly, Sasuke stopped and looked down at a little girl who bumped into him as he walked on the streets of Konoha, wondering if he should kill everyone in the village.
The little girl sat on the ground and said "Ouch!" before looking up, saying with tears in her eyes "Watch where you're going, Uncle!" Sasuke's lips twitched and the little girl stood up, patting her dress as she sighed "Darn! Aino's dress is all dirty now! What's mommy gonna say?"
She looked up at Sasuke and pointed at his nose, saying "Hey! You have to buy me Dango!" Sasuke was dumbfounded and Orochimaru looked at the child, saying "We don't have time for this." as he had a snake pop out of his body…
Itachi slashed the snake with a sword, looking at orochimaru, saying "Don't even think about it. I don't think you can handle the consequences…" Orochimaru sneered, "Just a little girl."
Itachi said slowly, "You think about who's little girl this is. Then tell me if you still want to do it." Orochimaru suddenly froze and started sweating profusely, saying almost instantly "From today on, if someone offends you, they offend me, alright?"
Itachi rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Sasuke looked at Aino and asked "Are you Ryu's daughter?" Aino blinked and said "You know my daddy!?" before changing her tone and frowning deeply "Even then… You won't get out of buying me Dango. I don't care who you are to Daddy. Even HE will buy me Dango or I'll beat him up!"
As she swung her fists around fiercely.
Sasuke's eyes twitched and he suddenly asked "Do you know Sasuke?"
Aino paused and looked at him saying angrily "Are you Sasuke?!" Sasuke froze and shook his head. Aino let out a breath and patted her chest, saying "Good! Or else, I'd have to beat you up!"
Suigetsu leaned over her and smirked "Oh yeah? Why's that?" Aino replied "Well, Daddy's always crying about Sasuke. Sasuke makes my Daddy really sad. One time, he came back home and fell asleep saying that Sasuke hated him now. When I find that guy, I'm gonna beat him up! Even when Uncle Fugaku came to Konoha, Daddy was really sad. I don't know why though…"
Everyone looked at Sasuke, even Itachi's face changed slightly, glancing at Sasuke, who froze, staring at Aino in a daze.
She didn't notice and put her hand on her hip, wearing a purple sundress with wooden sandals, pointing at Sasuke, saying "Now! Buy me Dango or I'll beat you up! I'm super fierce, you know! I beat up the chubby kid next door! And you don't look so tough!"
She even turned on her 3 Tomoe Sharingan!
Itachi sucked in a breath of cold air, staring at Aino. Orochimaru's eyes lit up and he squatted down, saying "Uncle Snake will buy you Dango, do you want to be my apprentice?"
Itachi held Aino in his arms and said warningly "Orochimaru! Don't make me…" Orochimaru shouted "This is appreciation for talent! Appreciation! Understand?!"
Sasuke looked at Aino before letting out a breath, saying "Your dad… What else did he say?" Aino hummed and replied "Well, Daddy's always talking about how he's proud of that Sasuke guy and Naruto-otouto. Aino is confused, Sasuke makes Daddy cry, why is he still proud of him??"
As she rubbed her head in distress, not able to understand.
Sasuke held his face and turned around, saying in a trembling voice, "Let's go…" Itachi looked at him and smiled at Aino, "Where's your mommy, Aino-chan?" Aino rubbed her little hands, stuttering "Well… You see… Uhm… Aino snuck out!"
Itachi laughed softly and rubbed her head as Aino pleaded "Grandpa Itachi, don't tell Mommy, okay?" Itachi froze and choked, "Grandpa?!"
Suigetsu rubbed his chin, saying "I seem to remember she called Naruto 'Otouto' just now…" Jugo furrowed his brows and said seriously "Her addresses… they're all mixed up!"
Aino snorted "You're mixed up! Your whole family is mixed up! You orange haired grandson!" Jugo said seriously "You're not my grandma, little girl!" Aino pointed at his nose and shouted "Who's your grandma!? You silly grandson! Darn! Are you making fun of Aino?!"
Itachi was about to collapse and said "I'll bring you home…" Aino froze and looked at Itachi worriedly, "Grandpa Itachi… Can we stop for Dango??" Itachi said seriously "No. Adults don't eat Dango." as he walked away.
When they turned the corner, Itachi held Aino, looking around cautiously before asking seriously "Do they have any new Dango?" Aino looked around before whispering "Only the brand new ultra super mega cataclysmic otherworldly Galaxy Sweetness Mystery Mochi Dango!"
Itachi gasped in shock, "Mystery Dango?!" Aino leaned over and whispered "I heard from the chubby kid next door that the taste… Tsk tsk… He almost died from the sweetness!"
Itachi frowned seriously and said with a snort "We'll see about that." Aino climbed to his shoulders, saying "To the Dango shop!" as she pointed forward, slapping Itachi's head.
A bit later
Sasuke was standing in front of Hashirama, Tobirama, Minato, and…
Hiruzen!
If Ryu was here, he would be terribly confused as to how it was even possible!
You have to know, Ryu burned everything Hiruze was to ashes!
He couldn't be more gone!
Unknown to him, Orochimaru kept some DNA!
If Ryu knew, he would definitely slap this damn snake to meat sauce!
How dare he bring this scourge back into the world!?
But then he would ask if he had Danzo's DNA so he could bring him back and torture him together with Madara…
Itachi was standing on the side, hiding a bag of Dango on his waist, sneakily eating some when nobody was looking…
Hashirama said "Haha! There's so many Hokages now?! Cool!"
Sasuke ignored him and stared at Hiruzen, saying coldly "You ordered the extermination of the Uchiha clan?" Hiruzen frowned "So you know." Tobirama snorted "So the Uchiha was exterminated, truly a fitting fate…"
Sasuke sneered, "Luckily not." Hiruzen froze and shouted "What?! What are you talking about?!" Itachi looked at him, saying lightly "Don't freak out, old man. The Uchiha clan is alive and well… Your Sarutobi clan however…"
He shook his head and Sasuke chuckled "Gone with the wind!" Hiruzen froze and looked at Sasuke in shock, gritting his teeth, saying suddenly "It was Ryu, right?" Sasuke snorted and didn't reply.
Fortunately, Orochimaru filled him in with a smile "Ryu-kun, worked with me during the Konoha crush plan. The plan was to send the Sand Ninja to exterminate the Sarutobi, Shimura, Koharu, and Homura clans while I killed you and he pulled out the Root and Danzo."
Orochimaru clapped and smiled, continuing "Fortunately, Ryu-kun is very reliable. 4 clans gone in one day. The Root disappeared. Danzo turned to ashes. Not even a single millimeter off plan."
Tobirama was stunned, asking in shock "All 4 in one day? When we fought Sarutobi?!" Hashirama clapped happily "Excellent move! Well done!"
Hiruzen's face was ashen and Minato sighed on the side, looking at Hiruzen, shaking his head, "You filled me too, old man. You're something else. A real shame to Konoha…"
Hiruzen exploded, "Nonsense! I was a great Hokage!" Suigetsu waved a book in his face, chuckling "Really? Have you read this book?"
The 4 Hokages looked at him and Suigetsu revealed 3 more!
Each of them read the books and Hiruzen had the heart to die!
Sasuke looked at him, saying "You should thank him. He saved Asuma's life and let Konohamaru go. He even left your face on the Hokage Cliff. You should know that Konoha changed drastically after Ryu took over as Acting Hokage. He did more in the 2 months he was Hokage, than Tsunade did in the 4 years she was!"
Itachi didn't like this old guy, saying "Not only that, but Ryu still feels bad for what he did to your clans. Can you imagine? What a piece of trash you are… Thank god I listened to him that night, I can't even imagine the consequences…"
Tobirama frowned at Hiruzen, saying "You're real good! The Strongest Hokage, eh? The God of Shinobi! I didn't know you were so good! Stealing Jutsu, techniques, taijutsu, claiming to have created them yourself! What a good Hokage!"
Sasuke suddenly said, "You haven't seen these techniques. Even Sage mode has been created. Not to mention, there's a technique to see 360 degrees like the Byakugan in a range around your body, even predict attacks and see into the future for a few seconds!"
He threw a scroll to Tobirama, who unrolled it slowly, reading the techniques one by one. They were all in this one scroll, after all, Ryu gave them all to Sasuke in one scroll secretly.
The more he read, the more shocked he was!
What he didn't know was that those were only the Techniques suitable for Sasuke.
Itachi was brought back from the dead! If he saw that jutsu, maybe he would kneel on the spot.
Minato gasped, turning to Hiruzen, saying in shock "You!? You stole little Ryu's techniques!? Those were for the village!" Sasuke filled him in, explaining "They were called 'Sarutobi clan secret techniques' a while ago…"
Minato sighed and asked Sasuke, "Where is he?" Sasuke fell silent and Itachi said "Probably fighting Madara."
Hashirama looked up, "Madara!? Where is he!"
Tobirama complained, "Brother, please…" Hashirama rubbed his nose and laughed "I can't wait to see him again! Hahahah! It's been so long!"
Suigetsu and Jugo looked at each other, feeling that the 'God of Shinobi' was not what they expected…
Suigetsu opened another book as Hashirama explained his past to Sasuke, he slowly froze and stared at Hashirama in shock, swallowing as he interrupted, "I'm sorry, Mr. God of Shinobi… Are you about to say that Madara abandoned the Village?"
Hashirama raised a brow and said "Hey! You already know?!" Suigetsu swallowed and turned over the book, showing everyone.
Everyone froze and stared at the book 'History of Konoha'.
Hashirama's exact words and details of the past long ago were all written inside the book! To the most miniscule degree!
Hashirama was shocked and said "Who wrote this?!" Suigetsu licked his lips, replying "Ryu Uchiha."
Hashirama grabbed the book and read it, saying in shock "Even the dates and events are exact! He's an Uchiha, correct? He didn't change History at all! This kid… What a talent!"
Tobirama looked at the book and turned to Hiruzen, sneering, "Even an Uchiha is smarter than you! I bet the Uchiha clan is doing very well in Konoha now?"
Itachi nodded saying "Uchiha are in all walks of life, even the Konoha Police force has been reinstituted. Many Ninja are in the Police force, not just Uchiha. They're teachers, doctors, Anbu, guards, etc." Tobirama shook his head and said "This is one terrifying Uchiha. The entire Konoha was pressed under his thumb!"
He rubbed his chin and said "I wonder, if that little devil wasn't placed as Hokage, maybe Konoha would be extremely advanced?" Orochimaru chimed in, "Ryu-kun has excellent ideas for the future, unfortunately…"
He chuckled and Itachi said flatly "You won't help." Orochimaru smiled and Itachi smiled at him, saying "Don't worry, Orochimaru… You've been calculated a long time ago." Orochimaru froze and looked at Itachi warily, "What do you mean?!"
Hashirama, Tobirama, and Minato looked at the duo as Itachi curled his lips, not even bothering to respond.
Orochimaru felt like there were ants crawling all over him, but he didn't know what was wrong!
Itachi just smiled wordlessly as his Mangekyou flashed briefly…
A bit later, Hashirama had finished his story of how he had to kill Madara, his best friend, for the village.
Itachi suddenly remembered something and looked a bit strange. Sasuke looked at him, asking "What is it, Brother?" Itachi replied unnaturally "I finally understood what Ryu said once…"
Hashirama asked curiously "Oh? About me?" Itachi hesitated for a moment before saying "He said 'If Madara was a woman, this world would be peaceful'..."
Hashirama froze and Tobirama coughed violently, patting his chest as he glanced at Hashirama…
He couldn't help but agree in his heart…
Over on the battlefield…
