Naruto The Thunder Calamity

After saying goodbye to Senju Tobirama, Raijin walked side by side with Tsunade on the streets of Konohagakure, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.

Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, Otsutsuki Kaguya...

From the beginning, Raijin knew that the Five Great Hidden Villages were just the apparent peak of power.

Except for the First Hokage Senju Hashirama, none of the Five Kage throughout history have truly stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Raijin came to the ninja world, luckily ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and endured until the Second Shinobi World War.

If he did this to gain the recognition of the Senju, the Uchiha, and the village, and to unite all the power of Konohagakure in a stable way...

Then it would be too hypocritical.

Because Raijin knows what kind of person he is.

Before coming to this world, Raijin's values were already set.

Although he had only graduated for two or three years in his previous life, those years changed his character.

A bit suspicious, a bit selfish, a bit greedy, a bit short-sighted and cowardly.

So, when Raijin first arrived in the ninja world, he never thought about the Akatsuki organization.

At that time, Raijin just wanted to get a position in the Konohagakure Police Force and live a peaceful life.

Of course, training was necessary because Raijin knew it was the foundation of his future survival.

The three ninja skills: Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and Taijutsu.

Learning any of them would be enough to survive better in this harsh world.

This was different from the confusion Raijin faced with different majors in his previous life.

Raijin knew clearly that learning the Three Body Technique would make him a Genin.

Then, he could join the Konohagakure Police Force right after graduation.

After learning two chakra nature transformations and passing the village's assessment, he could become a Jonin.

The Uchiha clan's stipend for Jonin, if spent occasionally on luxuries, would be enough for a person to live a stable life.

Then, finding a suitable girl from the clan to marry would be enough.

At that time, this was Raijin's plan.

A decent job, a decent wife, and a decent stipend every month.

Raijin would be satisfied.

In Raijin's view at that time, strength was for ensuring his safety, for having the means to leave with his loved ones when the Uchiha faced extinction.

Not for risking his life on missions to make money.

Even after Raijin ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he just thought it made his foundation stronger.

Until later, Raijin met Tsunade.

So, Raijin said he was greedy because he couldn't refuse Tsunade's love.

Because Raijin really liked Tsunade.

This liking started in his previous life, and Raijin really couldn't refuse.

Raijin couldn't refuse Tsunade, nor could he refuse her help.

The Yin Seal, the summoning scroll of Shikkotsu Forest, the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, Uzumaki Mito's attention, and Senju Tobirama's recognition.

Yes, without Tsunade, he wouldn't even have had the chance to be recognized by Senju Tobirama.

He wouldn't have had the chance to tell Senju Tobirama about the danger of Kumogakure.

Senju Tobirama would have died in Kumogakure before the end of the First Shinobi World War, and Sarutobi Hiruzen would have become Hokage.

Everything would have been the same as before.

Of course, Raijin didn't really reject that situation.

In that case, history would repeat itself, and he would just need to cleverly take his family out of the village during the Uchiha massacre night and Pain's invasion of Konohagakure.

So, Raijin admitted he was very selfish.

Later, Raijin gained Senju Tobirama's recognition, confirmed his relationship with Tsunade, and received her full support.

But even so, Raijin didn't tell anyone about eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

Because Raijin was afraid that if this was exposed, Tsunade, Senju Tobirama, and even his family would think differently of him.

Raijin didn't want that. He was afraid of losing everything he had at that time, so he chose to hide it, as if he had never eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

So, Raijin admitted he was suspicious and cowardly.

This secret was kept until the Chunin Exams.

A coincidence led Raijin to develop the Lightning Transformation technique in the Ninjutsu system.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit could finally appear openly in front of everyone.

And at that moment, Raijin suddenly realized that the world seemed to have changed because of him.

At that time, Raijin wasn't nervous because everything was going in a good direction.

Raijin even thought about crushing Uchiha's Rinnegan during the Second Shinobi World War.

Completely eliminating the dangerous elements of the ninja world.

At that time, no matter how powerful Black Zetsu was, he would have to wait until Naruto and Sasuke were born to have room to operate.

Until Black Zetsu initiated the Second Shinobi World War. Honestly, defeating the Three-Tails and Six-Tails was just Raijin's way of annoying Black Zetsu.

But when Suisei was taken by Black Zetsu, and when Suisei gathered the remnants of Kumogakure and Kirigakure under Uchiha Madara's arrangement...

To be honest, the power that Black Zetsu has now is not weaker than the Akatsuki in the future.

Shikotsumyaku, Hydrification Technique, Lightning Release Armor, Ice Release, and Kakuzu, who would do anything for money.

Because of this, Raijin is very glad that the Three-Tails and Six-Tails are dead.

If the Three-Tails and Six-Tails were not dead, with such power, Black Zetsu might have started the Eye of the Moon Plan directly.

I don't even know if I would face Uchiha Madara.

Even if it's the old Uchiha Madara.

Who knows how strong Uchiha Madara is now? But no matter how strong Uchiha Madara is, one thing is certain, Uchiha Suisei will definitely fight me to the death because of Uchiha Madara's methods.

So, it was the Three-Tails and Six-Tails who gave me time with their lives, and gave Konohagakure time.

Now, the ninja world appears to be at peace on the surface.

Otherwise, the Second Shinobi World War might have ended with the destruction of Konohagakure or the death of Black Zetsu.

And now, during the long revival time of the tailed beasts, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

The old Raijin didn't want to change anything, but the current Raijin wants to change something.

People... always change with the environment.
