A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 67: Prologue - Tetsuya

Prologue

Cool spring wind. Gloomy sky. Light drizzling rain. Deathly silence.

Nature seemed to feel the mood of the whole Konoha.

This year was very difficult for the village.

First, "World War I Shinobi".

Then the death of their leader, Shodai Hokage Hashirama Senju, aka the "God of Shinobi".

All this has already hit the villagers very hard, but fate, as if mocking, threw another test.

Just a month ago, Nidaime Hokage Tobirama Senju, Hashirama's brother, died.

As you probably already realized, few people can walk through the streets of Konoha smiling now.

Huge, senseless, losses in the war. Death of Leaders

It was in such an environment that our hero was born.

Deep inside, in the territories of the Senju clan, there was a bunker underground.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

Inside it was a group of perfectly similar women, and one of them, being surrounded by powerful barriers, was giving birth.

Hmmmmm! Come on! she pushed.

Beads of sweat rolled down her wrinkled forehead.

Suddenly, inside the woman's mind, a terrible, bestial voice rumbled, beaming with contentment.

"Heh-heh-heh! The seal has weakened! I can break out at any second! I don't think you can hold me back!"

Her response was calm and collected, as if she was ready for anything.

"You can try, however, once you try, the seals will instantly kill both me and you."

"You're lying! You will not dare to kill your offspring!" he roared furiously, not wanting to believe what he had heard.

"And he won't die. The clones will help me with this."

- "RRRRR! This is not the end of Mito Uzumaki! One day I will destroy you!" he roared furiously in anger.

"Maybe it will, but not anytime soon, fox." she replied coldly, not paying much attention to the beast inside. She has more important things to do right now.

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox retreated, because he knew and felt that his jailer was able to carry out his threat. After all, during the time spent with her, he realized that Mito Uzumaki is harsh, both to others and to himself. He didn't want to die, because it's unpleasant to put it mildly, and it's stupid to do it just for a brief moment of freedom. He already knew that they, the Biju, were now being hunted by all the villages.

"Fucking Uzumaki" the fox growled in his mind.

After a short period of time, the cry of a newborn baby announced the space of the bunker, stating that he was born.

Interesting, very interesting. The clone said, holding the baby in his arms.

What's there? the woman in labor asked wearily, with interest.

He has already opened his eyes, which is just incredible. But the most important thing is his appearance....

"Is there something wrong with him?! she asked anxiously, which in itself is very surprising, for the eternally calm, cold "Mrs. Mito Uzumaki".

"Don't worry, he's fine. He's just the spitting image of Uzumaki. The clone said quickly to calm her down.

I want to see him. quickly, she said in a commanding tone, holding out her hands.

Okay, hold it, just be careful. passing the child. Said the clone.

Having accepted the child, Mito examined him and said in surprise.

That's what you are... Strangely, all my children were more like Hashirama Did my genes really win this time?

Bright scarlet hair that could shame even the pureblood representatives of her clan. Beautiful angelic face, delicate milky skin. Brilliant multicolored eyes, already shining with intelligence and wisdom. Both pupils were narrowed like a beast's, differing only in color, one was red, the other golden. These eyes were framed by long, thick, girlish eyelashes.

What a handsome man you are I can almost see the crowds of girls running after you The volume of the chakra has almost equaled mine... Unbelievably I am sure you will be a tiger among a flock of sheep, however, I could not give birth to another one in this world..." she said with a proud, satisfied smile.

It's a pity that your father could not see you ... she said sadly, caressing the soft, pliable hairs on the child's head.

"Unfortunately, I won't be able to raise you... After the death of my husband, your father, the Senju clan was hunted by all villages, all countries, or to be more precise, everyone who is not lazy. They are afraid that a new "Shinobi God" will appear. With special zeal, they are trying to completely exterminate my and Hashi's children. I'm even sure that there are already traitors inside the village. she spoke with sadness and restrained anger, looking into the eyes of the baby, and he, as if understanding everything, listened attentively.

These bastards got very close to their goal, killing almost all of my children I won't be able to protect you if someone finds out that you are my child with Hashirama. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to protect you... It didn't work out then, it won't work out now Fortunately, you don't look like your father at all, which is just amazing, because Hashi's genes have always suppressed mine. with stagnant pain, she said, pouring out her soul.

God, why am I telling all this to a baby? It looks like she's completely softened, or maybe she's just too tired Tired of everything Take him, you know which shelter to take him to..." she said, handing the baby to the clone.

Having accepted the child, her copy asked.

Are you sure? It wasn't in the plans to take him right away like that..." the clone answered doubtfully, cradling the child.

Yes, I'm sure. I underestimated myself. I feel that if I spend a little more time with him, I won't be able to part... Yes, what's there, you're me, you should already feel it yourself

Yes, I understand. closing his eyes, the clone bitterly replied, preparing to leave.

Stop! I want to give him a name. abruptly stopping the clone, she said a little nervously.

"That wasn't part of the plan either..." the copy replied, shaking her head.

I know, but I wanted to give him a name myself.

- OK. I'll attach a note with the name. exhaling, the clone replied.

Closing her eyes, Mito thought hard for thirty seconds

Finally, opening her eyes, she said softly and lovingly

Tetsuya... yes, Tetsuya.

Tetsuya means it suits his wise look well, right? The clone said, smiling out of the corner of his lips.

Yes... that's it, you can go. And don't you dare get caught... that's not why I hid my pregnancy. through the force, she said, closing her eyes.

You are me, of course it's stupid to doubt yourself. Don't worry.

Okay, go," she said uncertainly, clenching her fists.

Nodding, the clone disappeared into a swirl of leaves.

That evening, on the threshold of one of Konoha's shelters, a surprisingly beautiful, scarlet-haired baby with the name Tatsuya was found.
