Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic]

5. Old third

As discreetly as he could, the Hyuga clan member approached the doctor present and disclosed the information he had gathered. With the new information Hazaki the doctor in charge couldn’t help but have a wry smile on his face. The new info plus the hair color made him come to the conclusion that somewhere in her family tree an Uzumaki was involved. Moreover it seemed that little Tomoka had inherited their insane chakra reserves as well as their hair color. 

The doctor had hit the nail right in the head. However, things were a little more complicated. Even though she had indeed an Uzumaki ancestor, the chances of her actually inheriting the Uzumaki bloodline was closer to none than anything else. Once again the reason behind the odd defiance of odds was due to 682. 

For a matter of fact, little Tomoka is as genetically enhanced as possible. 682’s adaptability made sure of it. It just so happens that the Uzumaki bloodline was the best suited for this. However, that wasn't all. Due to her human genetics from a past life carrying over alongside her soul 682’s influence further enhanced her. 

Going back to Doctor Hazaki’s thoughts, he was currently debating whether to report this to the Hokage or not. After all, the sudden appearance of an Uzumaki descendant with a strong inheritance from the bloodline was rather important. In the end he decided to go through with it. At most he would be adding a little more paperwork for the fourth and himself. 

After a few more minutes Tomoka was taken away from Himiko despite the mother's strong reluctance to let go. After all, Himiko needed to rest and Tomoka needed to be properly taken care of. During that time doctor Hazaki wrote a short report and sent it to the hokage’s office. 

Unknown to doctor Hazaki, the fourth had no time to read the report as a rather important event was about to happen. Instead it was the old third hokage who was currently helping Minato with paperwork who took interest in the matter. No sooner did he read the report he decided to pay a visit to the hospital.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third now retired hokage from Konohagakure or the village hidden in the leaves. To tell the truth Hiruzen had wanted to retire much earlier than he did but none of his students wanted the mantle. It wasn’t until the next generation that an appropriate candidate had appeared. Now with his new found freedom from the hell known as paperwork Hiruzen would often spend his days doing nothing more than smoking his pipe and reading… cultured books.

As Hiruzen walked calmly through the streets of his beloved village he couldn’t help but smile. As of now the sun was high up in the sky. Children were running and playing around. Adults would respectfully nod his way before continuing with their usual business. Hiruzen loved this simple peace. 

After a while Hiruzen entered the hospital before asking around for doctor Hazaki. A while later a somewhat nervous man came to meet Hiruzen. How could he not be nervous when the legendary third hokage with the title of “professor” had called for him. He could somewhat guess why the third had come. However, he never expected his report to incite such a meeting. At most he expected some instructions or some such. 

“No need to be nervous, Hazaki. This old man was thinking of taking a break from all that paperwork and what better way than to observe the new generation” With that said Hazaki relaxed a little. It was well known by now that the third enjoyed observing the future generations of Konoha.   

“In that case I assume you would like to see little Tomoka. This way please” With steady steps Hazaki guided the third to a room where a few newborn babies were currently sleeping peacefully in their respective cribs. Well, all but one. 

“She seems quite energetic. As expected from someone with the Uzumaki bloodline” Hiruzen couldn’t help but comment as the image of a redhead woman with a fiery temper crossed his mind.     

As he said that Tomoka’s eyes locked in on his position while stopping all movements. She suddenly became as still as a statue. The reason being that the reincarnated girl instantly recognized the old man. 

In her previous life’s youth she had spent her time doing many things. From learning all sorts of hobbies to studying any science her little hands could get information on. One of the many hobbies she had acquired was that of watching anime. It oh so happens that one of her favorites was Naruto! 

To be sincere she never liked most of the characters, Naruto included. Instead what attracted her to the show was the world itself. The mere thought of humans being able to shoot fireballs out of their mouths mesmerized her. The idea of giant creatures that normal biology would not allow to exist fascinated her.  

Now she realized that she had reincarnated in that very world. After all, how could she forget the old perverted third hokage! Even though back then the show was animated and now the man was of flesh and blood she could still see an uncanny resemblance between them. She was at least eighty percent sure she was right in her assumption. 

Now taking that into consideration she could make new guesses and figure out a few things. For starters, the fact the old man is still alive means she was born before Orochimaru’s attack. Unfortunately it had been about fifteen years since she had seen the show so only very big events remained in her head. The many details were lost to time. 

Tomoka wasn’t discouraged by this. No use crying over spilt milk. Whining would change nothing. Instead she was glad she remembered at least some events. With this she would have some advantages for the future.  

As she thought about this she couldn’t help but become excited as she began flailing and giggling wildly. 

“Looks like she likes you lord third” Hazaki commented with a slight chuckle.
