Naruto: Journey Of The Strongest Teacher - Chapter 47

Naruto POV

Today was a day where I spent some time with Jiraiya Training with Genjutsu. As a Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, I had not enough chakra control so instead of learning it, Jiraiya told me to learn how to dispel it.

If I think back, Ishizu-sensei never told me much about Genjutsu.

Maybe it was because he didn’t use it much or he knew I could not use it.

Either way, we were somewhere near Yugakure when Jiraiya decided to teach me how to dispel a normal Genjutsu.

He summoned a female toad that looked disgusting.

And then she kissed me!

My head spun and I saw Hinata and Ino with the faces of that frog.

“Enough! Wake up, you brat. Even I get nightmares seeing such a thing,” spoke the voice of the Kyuubi.

“And how do I do that?” I asked.

“Let me help. I will use some of my chakra to flush your chakra system and break the Genjutsu.”

“How did you break through it so fast?” asked the Sannin.

“The Kyuubi had a problem with seeing the images of the toad so he pushed some of his chakra into mine to disrupt it,” I explained.

Jiraiya nodded and we went to find a hotel.

As we both sat and ate, I saw two people whispering.

I decided to listen to their conversation while Jiraiya flirted with the waitress.

“It happened again?” asked the woman.

The man nodded.

“Yes. The mist came out of nowhere and took Mina-chan again.

Her mother worried for the whole day and everyone thought she died this time.

Her mother even smiled, telling her she named Mina after a friend she had when she was young.

Mina-chan claimed to have spoken with her grandmother, but that is impossible as her grandmother died some time ago.

Something is wrong with the mist.”

‘A mist that makes people disappear and then a person reappears and knows about the past? What is happening?

Should I call Ishizu-sensei?’

I shook my head.

He was training and I could not summon him every time I needed help.

I saw Jiraiya drinking and walked away to find out about the mystery.

“Now, where would this mist be?” I thought.

“Are you Naruto Uzumaki?” I hear a voice behind me and quickly turned around to see a small girl standing there.

“Who are you?” I asked.

The little girl smiled.

“My name is Mina.”

“You are the girl people talk about?” I asked and she nodded.

“How do you know my name?” I asked.

She smiled as she pointed at the mist that appeared out of nowhere.

“If you want an answer you have to go through the mist.”

I frowned as I looked at the mist.

“Do you really want to go inside?” asked the fox.

“I have to do this alone. I can’t always rely on others,” I said and moved into the mist.

Unknown place.

General POV

Kurama cursed as he felt the mist invading Naruto’s body.

Whatever it was he could do nothing to stop it.

Then he felt something hit him and he fell unconscious, cutting the connection between him and Naruto.

Naruto POV

I opened my eyes and found myself in a different location than I have been before.

Mina was not here, and so was everyone else.

‘This must be the place beyond the mist.’

“You are a Konoha Shinobi? Help me get rid of those fools! They are coming!” screamed the person.

I had no time to look at him better as I saw Iwa Shinobi’s attacking us with kunais and shuriken.

“Futon: Daitoppa!” the guy next to me yelled.

I dodged the attacks.

“Look, Daisuke. This kid looks like that bastard Namikaze. Maybe he is his child?” asked one of Iwa Shinobi.

Daisuke frowned.

“Then kill him. Namikaze’s child can’t be kept alive. He killed my brother!” shouted Daisuke.

This Daisuke guy then attacked me while the other attacked the other one next to me.

My opponent was not difficult but his Doton jutsu were very sturdy.

“Die Namikaze boy. I will avenge my brother!” he screamed as he charged at me with two kunais in his hands.

“And I don’t care what my father did. Rasengan!” I shouted before killing him.

Then I turned around to see the other opponent get defeated by the guy with another Rasengan.

He looked over to me before seeing both of the Iwa Shinobi dead.

Then he laughed like a madman.

“I am alive!

**** those Iwa Shinobi.

**** the old fossil.

Because of him, every Rock Shinobi knows about me and wants my head.

Onoki, I hope you die fast and not of old age as that will take about 30 years,” the boy cursed load into the air before collapsing due to exhaustion.

This gave me a better look at him.

He looked similar to Ishizu-sensei. No, he did not look just like him. He looked exactly like him.

There weren’t many Konoha Shinobi I knew who had such blue hair and red eyes.

But why would I see a younger version of my teacher behind the mist?

Where the hell was I?

I took the younger version of my sensei over my shoulder and took him with me.

I couldn’t leave him alone as I didn’t know where I was and he was the best bet I had.

A few hours past as I waited for the Ishizu mini clone to wake up until I heard him groaning.

“Am I finally in heaven?” he asked, slowly opening his eyes.

“Nope, you are alive,” I replied.

He slowly turned his head to see me and frowned.

“Who the hell are you?” he asked, still with half his eyes open.

“One should introduce himself before asking questions,” I said as I raised an eyebrow.

He pointed with his thumb on his heart while showing a smile.

“Best Fuinjutsu expert in Konohagakure.

Ishizu Sasaki, the Strategist, at your service.”

So he really was my future sensei but how was that possible?

Did I time travel? And even if I did how?

Then I smiled hearing what he has said.

“The ‘best’? My parents are the best, Ishizu-san,” I replied.

He frowned at my comment.

“And who the hell are your parents? I bet I can easily outclass them.”

“I doubt you would say that to my mother, Kushina Uzumaki.”

He paled hearing the name of my or our mother.

“Eh? And who is your father?” he asked, clearly confused.

“Minato Namikaze,” I answered.

I knew my sensei was a strategist, so maybe he could figure out what happened.

“They both don’t have a kid unless….”

His eyes opened and he stared right at me.

“How the hell are you here, Naruto?”

Now I was confused. I thought he could figure out I was their son, but how did he know my name?

“And why are you so small, Ishizu-sensei?” I asked him, trying to make a conversation.

“Sensei? Look, kid, I am just a few years older than you.

I am not even a Jonin, and I doubt I would take Genin as a team.

I have a dream; you know? I want to achieve it,” he said with a smile on his face.

“You mean finding your wife?” I asked.

“And how do you know that?” Ishizu asked.

“You told me? You are my sensei. In the future, that is.”

“Listen, Naruto. You don’t know me and I don’t know you.

This could just be a dream and you or I will just wake up and forget everything.

And I doubt I would have a dream about you. I am not meant to be a teacher.

Kakashi is.”

“Then you are not the Ishizu I know,” I said with a frown.

“Naruto or whoever you are I don’t know how you came here as I have no idea how time travel works, but this is not your time.

We are in the 3rd Shinobi War.

Time Travel is possible but unheard of and I still find it hard to see the child of my sensei’s here with me.”

“If time travel is unheard of, then how do you know me? My parents had me after the war was over.”

Ishizu smirked, knowing that he could not tell the truth even if he thought this was a dream.

“I have a certain gift. From young, I could see a bit into the future.

I saw you with your parents when I found Jiraiya’s book.”

‘So he didn’t see my parents die?’ I thought.

“Then you forgot to mention you are also my brother,” I added.

Ishizu frowned. He would never think he would find himself in a situation where somebody knew more about him than himself.

“Can you please stop talking? Can’t you just like go to your time and do whatever you did?” he asked.

I shrugged.

“No idea how to do that? You are the strategist, so make a strategy and bring me back to my time.”

“Am I a god? I bet I told you about how I got this stupid title.

So you should know my true feelings about it.

Oh, by the Sage of the Six Paths. Please, just give me the Rinnegan and let me have my peace,” w.h.i.n.ed Ishizu.

I chuckled as I knew the future.

“Why are you laughing? I bet you have no idea just how cool those eyes are.”

“It is not that, sensei. Seeing you like this is so different from when you are older.

You are calm and friendly and you don’t w.h.i.n.e.

But here I see how you were before that. You are scared.”

He glared at me.

“No shit. This war has nothing funny about it and you just wait for the 4th Shinobi War, if it ever comes,” he added the last part.

“Well, at least be happy that you got your Rinnegan,” I told him.

His eyes went wide.

“Y-y-you are not lying, aren’t you?”

“No, but you took my blood without my permission. Your wife would be happy to hear if she found out you took children’s blood.”

“Kaguya is the best woman in the universe! How dare you say something like that?”

‘So her name is Kaguya.’ I finally got the name of his wife.

Then Ishizu sighed as he looked up into the sky.

“I hope this war is soon over.

Try fighting a war with Iwa Shinobis, wanting to kill you for the money your head is worth.

I ain’t going to die by some no-name Iwa Shinobi.”

I sighted too as I thought how to get out of this place.

Back in the Dumpling Dynasty, a certain panda sage smiled.

*Did something happen, master Po?* asked master Tau.

*Indeed. Something that could destroy the entire world if left untreated.

A rift in time has occurred that, if left untreated, will change the time stream.

That is why we from the panda clan are here for. To fix mistakes such as those.

I will be gone for a while. I have to fix the timeline.*

Back with Naruto and young Ishizu

Naruto POV

“Can you stop following me!” said Ishizu.

“I have nowhere to go and if you leave me and I find Konoha I will tell my mother.

I have seen how strong her influence is over you when you summoned her from the dead. You even told me about her birthday.”

“Broken Uzumaki ability to make people listen and talk with me,” muttered Ishizu.

“Whatever!

You Shinobi have no idea how the butterfly effect works.

First, I didn’t want to hear it but I come to realize something.

Your presence here already destroyed the whole future, so I don’t care anymore.

Just go with the flow,” Ishizu raised his hands in frustration.

“If you don’t care then I can ask you some questions, right?” I asked him.

Ishizu shrugged.

“Just ask. I don’t care anymore.”

“Then how do you use Sage Mode to make a Rasenshuriken?

Where I come from I saw you do it, so maybe you can give me some tips?”

Ishizu stopped and looked at Naruto with a raised eyebrow.

“You do know I have never used this Jutsu, right?

I can just use the basic Rasengan and I am just working on the Futon Rasengan.

And I have no Sage who can train me.

The toads and snakes are the only ones I know and I doubt the toads want me and I have no time to fight with Orochimaru about the snakes.”

I chuckled at that as I knew who his teacher was.

That got a reaction out of Ishizu.

“Don’t tell me I learn Sage Mode? Who?” he asked, or rather demanded.

“The animal is a panda,” I answered.

“A panda?”

His voice spilled disgust.

“Who the hell would want a panda to be their summoner?

They are lame, boring, and eat only bamboo.

On a bear tier list from F to S they are F,” said Ishizu now knowing a shadow appeared over them.

“Well, you learn something every day no matter how old you get.

That is how my summoner things about us? I believe I must teach him a lesson later,” said a voice.

Naruto and Ishizu turned around to see a giant panda on a tree branch and smiled at them.

Ishizu paled, feeling the power the huge panda radiated from him.

If he knew how strong this panda was he would never antagonize him.

“I am sorry,” he said as he bowed in apology, knowing he had no other option left.

“Are you from Ishizu-sensei’s time?” asked Naruto, hoping he was here to bring him back.

Po nodded.

“My name is Master Po. I felt a shift in time and came looking at the cause.

Normally, time travel is ok. That is if you are not changing things from what they should be.

In your case, it would cause huge problems.

You both know too much from this encounter so I have to seal those memories until the time is ok for you to remember.”

“It is ok, master Po,” said Naruto, knowing something like this could happen.

Still, Naruto was happy to meet his young sensei and have a nice chat with him.

He would eventually regain his memory of this encounter and would tell everyone how his sensei was.

Ishizu, on the other hand, was confused.

“Po? Like in Po the Dragon Warrior?” asked Ishizu not thinking somebody would understand what he said.

Po grew a smile as he looked at the young boy who would become his successor.

*The one and only, my dear summoner,* replied Po in English.

Before Ishizu could say anything, Po touched both of their foreheads and sealed their encounter.

Back in Yugakure, Naruto woke up with a smile on his face.

He didn’t know why as his memories were cloudy, but he knew something happened that made him stronger.

Then he saw a young girl coming his way.

“Did you find what you wanted?” asked the girl.

Naruto looked at her before smiling.

“I don’t know, but I had a wonderful dream about my sensei.

I know I have learned something but I can’t seem to recall it.”

The girl smiled.

“In time you will remember.”

A mist came and as Naruto looked back the girl was nowhere to be seen.
