Naruto: I became the Third Hokage

(First PoV)

After the funeral ended, I returned home with mother.

"You can cry now, Akame. No need to hold it in front of me."

I cried.

Afterall, if I had the resolve to sacrifice one of my eye to use Kamui, I could have saved Tobirama-sensei.

Perhaps, all along, I wanted some form of revenge against my father's killer.

Mother stroked my head lovingly, and suddenly, started coughing loudly.

I immediately grabbed some medicines from her drawer and fed her.

I am not a good enough medic... I can't even save mother?

"*Huff* *Huff*! Akame, don't blame yourself. When someone is too powerful, the god above us, Kishimoto, tries to kill them off. Hashirama died from the same thing. I will die from the same thing.

But, promise me. You will not die from the same thing."

"I..."

"I know a way."

I was stunned. My mother knows a way?

"What is it!?"

"Hashirama cells."

Hashirama cells?

"That will only kill us faster, in an instant!"

Tobirama-sensei had been conducting experiments with First Hokage's cells. Many Senju clan ninjas had volunteered to get the transplantation. But, all of them died within an hour. Overtaken by those cells, and killed in the end.

If even First Hokage's own clan members can't handle his cells, how could the Uchiha clan?

"My daughter, I am very proud of you. Becoming Hokage, by appointment from Tobirama, is an almost impossible thing.

You know, the Kusanagi swords I asked Madara to bring for you when he left don't fit your style.

For how much of a delusional bastard your uncle is, he did bring the things for you like I asked him for.

Come with me."

Mom slowly got up, stretched her body, and led me to the underground base beneath our house.

Madara, 'is'?

The underground base has thick iron walls, covered with layers of intensely molecular dense metals like Osmium, and a layer of chakra metal inscribed with seals in the language mother has invented.

I still don't understand why mother went so far in hiding the base this way.

There were various Sharingans on the cabinet that mother has preserved from the people who died during the Warring Clans Era.

Then, there are three Kusanagi swords. The main one can extend to any length and can even be controlled telekinetically. The other two, while having the same sharpness and sturdity as the main one, don't have any special abilities.

These swords are really unique and a treasure in the ninja world. Afterall, not only are they more conductive than any chakra blade, but also unbreakable and can cut through even adamantium, unlike chakra blades which become more and more fragile as the conductivity goes up.

I followed mother to another secret chamber, where a portrait of the god, Kishimoto, was drawn. The inventor of the Chakra illness.

And, there was a Sharingan, and two contracts, with the picture of a sword tied with a gourd, and a shield.

'Sword of Totsuka' and 'Yata Mirror'.

"Akame, look at me in the eyes. I am going to pass down all my knowledge to you from both of my lives."

"Both lives!?"

"Yes. I had a previous life before I was reincarnated. While it had many wars, I lived in a safe city in a relatively safer country than most. The main thing I had to fight against was weight, and lots of assignments.

Now, experience my memories."

Mother's Sharingan transformed into 5 red concentric circles, with black background, blood dripped from her right eye, and I was under a genjutsu.

I felt like I was watching Mom's previous life with my own eyes.

Tall buildings, busy roads with fast self-running carriages called 'cars', 'buses', 'trucks', and 'bikes' repeatedly honking. Some kids driving 'bicycles' by peddling.

Some laughing, some angry, and most depressed.

I watched 'TV' from her eyes, watching a show called 'Naruto', set in Konoha years in the future.

Uzumaki Naruto? Why is he a blondie? Shouldn't it be red?

And... Hiruzen as the Third Hokage huh?

He looks super old.

...That pervert has a peeping crystal!?

Pff! He lost to a kid. Sexy Jutsu huh? It has a lot of potential.

Sexy Harem Jutsu!?

This 12 year old kid is a menace.

Oh. Sasuke Uchiha? He looks a lot like father. Is he supposed to be my descendant?

Oh. They kiss.

...That kid can't be my descendant.

And this Naruto kid is a deviant.

Is he supposed to be Mito-sama's descendant? Probably a descendant of Tsunade or the newborn Nawaki?

His clothes look too shaby though.

And what's the big deal about being Nine-tails jinchuriki? How is Hiruzen handling this matter? Mito-sama is respected for holding the Kyuubi. And this Naruto is being hunted by a mere Chunin? And a kid just stole the Forbidden Scroll using Sexy Jutsu!?

...I will have to practice this jutsu to gain immunity.

Hmm, so my descendant wants to kill someone. And Kakashi Hatake huh... I guess the Hatake clan has successfully transitioned from being samurais to ninjas.

Thousand years of death...

Just what has happened to the ninjas of Konoha? Why are they so, special?

So they still have to catch Daimyo wife's cat huh? And the name is still Tora, just like the cat mother gifted to the Daimyo?

No wonder these kids have so difficultly catching the cat. It doesn't seem to be trained though.

Waves mission...

Huh. Ninja aren't supposed to be tools, just like mother has taught me huh.

Chunin Exam. Pfft! Mito-sama's descendant is having the toughest battle of his life. A written exam.

Hmm, the next stage is forest of death. Someone is attacking Team 7.

Oh. So Sasuke burnt the face of the attacker. I doubt it will work though.

All my life, I have never managed to burn anyone with fire style.

Hmm... So the attacker was wearing someone's skin. It is a good yet very gruesome way to mask his chakra signature.

This guy kind of looks familiar. Like... Orochimaru from Tsunade's class.

Oh. He IS Orochimaru.

Curse Mark, interesting.

... Uchiha clan was massacred? By one guy, Itachi? Is he so strong, like Madara? Or has the strength of the clan and the village declined so much?

Even if I tried to massacre the Uchiha clan, I wouldn't be able to. Afterall, there is mother and Kagami. And wouldn't the village notice something if someone is killing the Uchiha clan in the center of the village?

...It isn't making sense.

The episodes went by, and Rock Lee vs One-tail's jinchuriki surprised me the most in the preliminary.

Someone capable of controlling Sand to such an extent will be a menace in the desert. That kid will surely become the strongest Kazekage.

And Rock Lee. Only using taijutsu. Forcefully opening 5 out of 8 gates. At the age of 13.

This Rock Lee's sensei, Might Guy is an idiot. Winning a preliminary match isn't so important that he should be risking his entire ninja career.

And why are there no Senju in the preliminary exams? Was it massacred just like the Uchiha clan?

And well, the match between Hyuga heiress and the branch family heir was disappointing.

I have realised that this manga and TV show, may have been the future of my world if Mom wasn't there. Without mom, I wouldn't be here, and Hiruzen would have become the Hokage.

Sacrificing the branch family head of the Hyuga clan, just because those mountain bandits threatened war!? Just how weak had Konoha become!?

And no matter how weak Konoha becomes, sacrificing our own people!? Where is the Will of Fire!?

Hmm, this Jiraiya guy is peeping on women's hot spring. What is the police doing?

Are the Hyuga's using their Byakugans to do the same? Behind the cold stuck up face, are they closet perverts?

And summoning...

Who the hell throws off a kid from a hill to teach him!?

The kid is the Nine tails Jinchuriki and Uzumaki. He will be able to eventually able to summon even the full Katsuyu.

And toads huh? There is no toad summoner in Konoha right now. Despite this Jiraiya guy being so disappointing, I will keep an eye on him. He is in the same generation as Tsunade and Orochimaru huh.

Finals.

Oh. I am glad that Hiruzen didn't become the Hokage because of me. What the hell is even Sound village?

And Suna and Sound invaded Konoha? Suna, the village weaker than the mountain bandits?

Oh. I see. Orochimaru killed Kazekage, wore his skin, and is attacking the village.

Kazekage line is still stupid as ever. The First Kazekage was the stupidest, and the dead Fourth in this series doesn't seem to be that far off. Mistreating the jinchuriki which can control sand, even trying to assassinate him. No wonder he got killed.

And Orochimaru perfected Edo Tensei to such a degree huh?

Tobirama-sensei could only use it to revive a person with very low level, and mostly used it to revive the comerades of the enemies, and have them continuously explode using Multiplying Explosive Tags to blow up the entire camps.

Afterall, there is no difference in the chakra signature of an alive person and his Edo Tensei. Making it perfect for infiltration and blowing up.

Looking at it, Tobirama-sensei in his Edo Tensei state is at perhaps 10% of his power, and First Hokage though... That isn't even his 1% of power.

Still, I will make this Orochimaru my student. He is really smart to be able to enhance the Edo Tensei to such a degree. And the Curse Mark is interesting. Changing bodies for immortality huh.

That's outrageous.

But, as the series went on, things became more and more outrageous.

Danzo and Hiruzen fucked up the village. Almost every problem in the world seemed to originate from Danzo.

And in the end, an entire army of Edo Tensei was waging war on the world, which were either at full power or stronger from when they were alive. The only exception was First Hokage.

Madara was such a mastermind, awakened Rinnegan, and ended up getting killed by a blob after becoming the Ten tails Jinchuriki.

And then, the Otsutsukis.

And Boruto was even more outrageous.

It feels like my world view has expanded a lot.

And I realised that mother intentionally lied to me that one use of Mangekyo Sharingan will make me blind. Because, she wanted Tobirama-sensei to die.

I can understand her. Afterall, he was the one who killed father.

And judging by the way he intended the Uchiha clan to handle the police force, and would have done so if not for mother, I can't really blame her.

After I received the rest of memories of mother's first and this life, I was back in the real world.

"Bleh!"

"Mother-!"

"*Cough* *cough* I am alright! I just used Tsukuyomi too much. I will be fine-"

"Mother, I will prepare First Hokage's cells-"

"I don't want to! The medical ninjutsu isn't advanced enough, and I don't want to have Hashirama's face growing on me. What will I tell Mito? That I have her husband's face on my boobs?

And that will implicate your position as the Hokage as well.

Just remove my Mangekyo Sharingan and place my father's eyes. The strain will be gone, and I will be fine.

Once the situation calms down, you transplant my Tsukuyomi and and your father's Mangekyo one by one. Keep Kotoamatsukami for emergency.

I will be fine. Just arrange a position for me in the academy to teach children. I am fine."

"... Alright."

Mother is stubborn. I will have to save her without her knowledge.

"You don't blame me for Tobirama-"

"No. I don't blame you."

I can't give her any more stress right now.

Now that I know the truth, I have to plan accordingly.
