Lu Mingfei’s Repeated Returns in the Hokage World

“Sarutobi, you'll regret this!” “I'm the Hokage!” After another one of their arguments, which sounded like a couple bickering, had ended, Danzo was walking down the corridor of the Hokage Building when he suddenly felt a chill. He tightened the kimono draped over his arm and looked through the building's windows at the village outside. The peaceful scene seemed to suggest that the Uchiha massacre had never happened. “Hmph.” Danzo snorted. A village like this only made him trust himself more. Everything was going just as he had expected, except... Thinking of Orochimaru's inexplicable visit some time ago and the scene not far from the village, which looked as if it had been struck by a hurricane, Danzo furrowed his brow. Nothing had changed, yet this perceptive man couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Danzo, disappearing into the crowd; the peaceful village; the Hokage standing like a statue before the floor-to-ceiling window of his office in the warm sunlight; and a world poised to make its move. It was a peaceful day in Konoha's 55th year, and also the fourteenth day since a boy capable of transmigrating between two worlds had arrived here. A gale swept through, blowing withered leaves back into the clouds, whose depths seemed as vast as an entire world. Lu Mingfei picked up a fallen leaf. He was curious to see just how far Orochimaru's mad plan, set in motion because of him, would go.
