Walking through the road of the village hidden in the leaves, Minato was astounded. 'Konoha is far more impressive than in the anime, it is really big, nothing like the show wherein mere minutes Naruto was able to traverse the village. Even if I 'know' it thanks to Minato's memories, nothing beats the real deal. Aaah, I can't even describe this joy, I never felt so alive.'
While Minato was busy mentally gushing out the fact that he was in Konoha, a flower pot fell from the 3rd floor of the flat he was passing by.
At the same time he heard the cry of the pedestrians, Minato has a sudden feeling of danger and choosing to trust it, he stood still, and in the place he would have been if he had continued to walk a flower pot shatter fell and shatter on the floor.
Cold sweat overflow on Minato forehead, he couldn't help but curse internally 'Fuck! I just survive a black hole but I was nearly smashed to death by a flower pot, what kind of shitty luck is this! The first thing that I will train is my sensory abilities, if I didn't have this sudden strange feeling of danger I could have died'
"Are you ok young man?" A nearby grandma brought Minato out of his thoughts. Seeing the look of concern, he smiled and thanked her for the concern, continuing on his way to the academy.
"What a strange kid, well at least he is lucky" Shrugging her shoulders, the aged lady look around to the nearby people chatting excitedly about the lucky kid that stopped and fell in his thoughts right on time to escape the calamity, and returned to her home.
Meanwhile, Minato was having complicated feelings 'How long has it been that I smiled at somebody? It's...refreshing I would say. It's like the world suddenly became colorful, at least I can shed little by little the ice from my heart. Well, I must not become complacent. In this world of shinobi, people backstab others even faster than in my universe, and if I show a sign of not willing to sacrifice myself for random strangers of this village while being honored to do it, I will be drowned by the waves of their pitiful indoctrination named the so-called will of fire. Sigh, whether in my universe or here, humans are all the same, hypocritical and greedy beings. In my world, uncles brainwashed their nephew and niece to kill their mother to usurp the hard work of a family, while here they send children to their death over small and useless territory that won't even better their lifestyle, and to defend the grown ȧduŀts weakling that can't fight. The fun fact is that civilians earn far more money than shinobi, even if they have no means to safeguard it, in a world where superpower exists, it's truly pitiful to see such disgusting society. The richest of them is the daimyo, a weakling that control the fate of a bunch of hardcore killers, the law of jungle is so twisted that it's repugnant. If I was Hashirama, I will have created a government like in One Piece with the Kage as the heads, at least even if it was corrupted no weakling will be as the top. But no, the Kage, such powerful fighters, earn as much money of a middle-class merchant, while passing their life to do paperwork, and listening to ȧssassination request from weaklings that has no power. The worst is that instead of usurping the power, like what a good shinobi would do, they bow to a daimyo, a being that can be killed by a slight ripple of their buŧŧcheeks. At least if he was a useful being for society, like those guys in snow country that created the train to better their lives, it would have been acceptable. But daimyos are nothing of the sort, they are just lazy pigs that think they own the world.
Sigh, I became so worked up for that, but I can't accept people that don't work hard to climb to the top, or at least even if their birth gives them the top position, don't work hard to keep it...
Well nevermind those negative thoughts, at least with seals as a safeguard, I could love people like Kushina, a kind but bubbly and energetic woman, and maybe have small daughters to dote upon'
Thinking of having daughters, because sons are a no go he doesn't want to raise a wolf inside his midst, Minato couldn't help but smile foolishly and dream of pampering them, laughing joyfully while tickling them. And them calling him daddy while giggling with their pearl-like laughter.
"Oi, what's with the creepy smile Minato?" Teased Kaito
Returning to the land of the living, Minato looks at his 'friend', an insignificant character in the grand schemes of things that is the Naruto plot, and casually replied "Nothing Kaito, I was just thinking of some good food that I ate at the new Akimichi restaurant" While thinking 'Well, no need to become a prick, at least even if it's childish I could spare some moments to fool around, I will have all the time of the world to become anew a dignified man. I never understood the people that pass 24/24 to improve their abilities, growing strong mustn't be a goal but a mean to achieve it, because being the strongest with nothing more will just lead to an empty end road, like in my past life, where I was merely a shell of my former self, drowning myself in the alcohol and pŀėȧsurė of flesh to have a semblance of joy in my life.'
"Oh yeah Yakiniku Q, it's such good stuff. Unfortunately, it's super expensive, with our allowance from the academy, we can't afford to go there more than one time per month" Complained Kaito
"Don't worry" Patting his ċhėst Minato exclaimed "When I become Hokage I will treat my friends to eat all the good food of Konoha" 'Not that you will be my friend anymore at that time'
"It's me who will become Hokage, don't worry though I will treat you a meal" Boasted Kaito, while putting his arm around Minato's shoulder, and dragging him in the academy.
'Well, being Hokage can become one of my stepping stones to securing a lovely place to fester my love. Mother, watch me living a fulfilling life full of joy this time' Thought Minato
