Chapter 88: Explanations
🕑 Added 2025-09-14 21:29:49 +0000 UTC[3rd POV]
Watching as Wanda had just seemingly broken Orochimaru down, making him into something completely unrecognizable, Tsunade and Jiraiya both looked at Orochimaru in confusion and awe. At the same time, Kabuto was looking at him in absolute horror, realizing that Wanda had just done something to his master, something that completely changed him.
Wanda glanced at Kabuto, before humming “What should I do with your protege, Orochimaru? Should I kill him, or break him down and rebuild him like I did with you?” Wanda asked, looking at the pale faced man who looked at Kabuto.
“Rebuild him, ma’am. He will be useful for the future, and I believe with his help I can complete my projects faster than without him” Orochimaru responded, as Wanda smiled and flicked her wrist.
Kabuto dropped to his knees, pain echoing from his throat as he cried out in incredible agony. Like Orochimaru, he began to see things, the truth of things. The future, of what would happen, of what he would do. But she also showed him things that would permanently change him as a person.
The truth of his mothers death, what she wanted for him, what he could do in the future, what he could become. The great things that he could accomplish if he worked for good, and not evil. The lives he could save.
She showed him all of it, as his mind broke down and was rebuilt. The process was overall quite similar to Orochimaru’s but a bit longer, as she had to show him more. His eyes bled, and he writhed, but eventually, the process finished.
And just like Orochimaru, he immediately lowered his head “I apologize for my actions! I see now that what I am doing, what I was going to do, is completely pointless in the long run. I shall strive to join Orochimaru-sama, and improve this world!” Kabuto yelled, slamming his head against the ground as Tsunade and Jiraiya were growing more and more concerned.
“Good, I hope that you will strive to become a better person, just like your sensei” Wanda responded with a smile, as Tsunade and Jiraiya finally had enough.
“What the hell just happened!? What did you do to them?!” Tsunade yelled, as Wanda blinked and looked over to the woman.
“Hmm? Oh that? It’s simple really, I showed them what would happen if they continued down this route. The absolute pointlessness of their current actions, and the myriad of other alternate endings they may have, if they are good and change for the better” Wanda responded with a simple smile on her face, as if she didn’t just shatter the mind of a Sannin and rebuild it.
“You-you can do that?” Tsunade asked, wide eyed.
“Mmhmm. My daughter wasn’t lying, you know. I am far more powerful than you, or anyone else on this planet. Just because I do not show it off, doesn’t make it true. And reworking someone’s mind and showing them the future isn’t that difficult” Wanda responded with a shrug, as it really wasn’t a problem.
“You can see the future?” Jiraiya asked, wide eyed. He knew of the prophecy, so he wondered if she maybe knew what it was going to bring about, but Wanda just glanced at him.
“I won’t be telling any of you about it, so don’t bother asking. And if you’re wondering why, it is because by telling you the future, that future will not happen. And the future that is coming is not a bad one, so you don’t need to worry about that” Wanda said before the man could even ask the question that was on his mind.
“That…makes sense. Well at least we know that the future is a good one” Jiraiya responded, as her explanation for why she could not explain the future did make a lot of sense. As it would make them change their choices if they knew of the future, and by changing their choices, that same future that they had been told about would not happen thanks to the changes they make.
“What’re we doing with those two then?” Tsunade asked, looking at Orochimaru and Kabuto, before Wanda smiled.
“I was going to suggest that you take them to Konoha. Once you become Hokage, you can give them a secret laboratory that they can work in, without being discovered. Or you can imprison them and make them repay the village by working to improve it. Either one would likely work” Wanda answered, as Tsunade looked at the two.
“And how do I know they won’t just betray us in the future?” Tsunade asked.
“Simple, because I said so. Seeing the intentions of someone is not even remotely difficult for someone like me. And thanks to that, I can tell you with absolute certainty that these two will not be betraying you again” Wanda responded, as Tsunade looked at the two.
“…Alright. Once I become Hokage I’ll get them a secret lab to work out of. I’d put them in prison, but I’m pretty sure that if I did, they wouldn’t be getting out…at all. Not only that, but there’d be calls for execution, so a secret lab is the best route for this” Tsunade said, as she looked at her old teammate and Kabuto.
She was tempted to just let them get killed, but if Orochimaru could be used to work with the village, improving the lives of everyone within…it was a better option than just offing the man. It also didn’t help that he was still her teammate, and she’d like to not have to kill him.
“Fantastic! Now, let's get back to the village, shall we? Then we can return to Konoha so you can take your place as the Fifth Hokage” Wanda said, as they all nodded in agreement.
Walking back to the small village that they were near, Shizune couldn’t help but ask the question that was on everyone’s minds.
“How did you get so strong?” Shizune asked, as that sort of power was not something that could just come out of nowhere. It had to be trained, made, earned.
“I was born with most of it. Given the mantle of a very very important type of entity, one that is connected with the greater expanse of existence on a conceptual level” Wanda explained, as they all looked at her in even more confusion, but also a bit of awe.
“And what of chakra? I can’t sense any of it from you, but you’re still so strong, how?” Tsunade asked.
“Hmm? Oh that. I simply have so much chakra that you cannot properly sense it. As my chakra extends so far and wide that it is like it’s a part of the world itself. You wouldn’t even notice it unless you really knew what to look for, or if a Hyūga helped you” Wanda responded, as this was the truth. She had more chakra than entire universes, and thanks to that, the sheer amount of her chakra was enough to surround entire universes in its power.
They all looked at her in silent awe, before Jiraiya was the one to speak up “That’s…ridiculous. You know that right? To have so much chakra that it looks like it’s just a part of the world itself? That’s more chakra than any kage, like ever! Not even the First Hokage had that much! Hell, I don’t even think the tailed beasts do either!” Jiraiya responded, completely and utterly flabbergasted with everything that Wanda was explaining.
“I guess I am just better than them” Wanda responded with a shrug, as it didn’t really mean anything to her.
The others could only look at her with deadpans, while her children grinned, knowing that their Mama really was awesome!
_________________________________
After returning back to the small village that they had been staying in, they ended up gathering up all their things, buying a few souvenirs, and began the trip back to Konoha. While Tsunade and Orochimaru also made plans for his laboratory, and what he planned on making in the future.
Things like cures for various poisons, diseases, and other toxins. Things that could massively improve the survival rate of the shinobi of the village, and even the civilian lives. All of these things are huge for the village as a whole.
All the while Wanda continued to train and help Naruto learn.
Eventually after a few days, they had returned back to the village, people looking at Tsunade in awe as she walked through the village alongside Jiraiya. And as they returned back, Wanda looked at Tsunade, one thought on her mind.
‘…Time to take out Danzo!’
____________________________________________________________________
That’s the end of the chapter!
Just some explanations and the return to the village. Next chapter will be taking care of Danzo for good, and returning back to the shop after like ten chapters. Then there’ll be some dates and other stuff.
Anko might be the third and final love interest, I’ll be deciding for good later on.
A vault chapter or two might be coming today, I’m not sure. If not today, then likely sometime this week in the form of a mini mass upload of around 3-5 chapters.
Anyways, have a good day!
