"What even was that?" - The teen before me asked while inspecting his hands and body, as they were feeling a bit weird.

"Your past life." - I sat behind him, directing his mental structure with my mana to repair the damaged parts. I acted a bit rashly when separating his memories, so now his mind needs to be fixed or the consequences might be dire.

"Past life you say..." - He mulled over the words and even if he acted calm, I felt his inner turmoil. He was terrified and troubled by something from them.

"Yes. It is very rare to recall your past reincarnation, but it does happen. There is nothing to fear." - I tod him. My aim was to get out of him the reason for his feelings and it is usually is a lot easier to do if you reassure a person but they don't feel the difference. In my world, several other highly ranked magicians and me, are in charge of helping those who got muddled by the sudden outburst of another life, so this procedure was a bit familiar to me.

He sat silently, digesting my words and was readying himself for something.

{Tobirama-nii, it'll be a bit longer before we'll return. You can go ahead or wait for us.}

{So something did happen to him.} - He sounded dejected. During our travel back home, I told him that I've got feeling that there was something with Hiruzen, that wasn't right. He was worried about his student, but let me handle the situation when I told him that I knew how to deal with that. - {We will move one. Everyone is exhausted and are eager to return home.}

{Alright.} - I approved of the plan. - {We'll catch up to you later.}

{Thank you.}

"Malika-san," - Sarutobi mastered his courage - "Have you seen something like this happening?"

"Yup." - I finished with the repairs and sat opposite to him.

"Did anyone ever see the future in their past?"

"Future?" - I raised an eyebrow. That wasn't something I was expecting. Usually, people are troubled by some past relationships, feelings or past deeds. Not the future.

"Well, not future perse." - His eyes started to dart in all directions as if the answer would be somewhere in the bushes. - "It was like, someone told a fun story and it seemed to be showing the events that might unfold later..." - He started to trail off, visibly confused and frustrated about this whole matter. - "Agh! I don't know! It doesn't make any sense!"


"It's alright," - I shook my head. - "You don't have to tell me the whole thing. Only answer a few of my questions, please."

He nodded solemnly.

By the end of the questioner, I had a very troublesome picture in mind. According to Hiruzen, the future wasn't looking bright at all. Wars, Ten-tails, crazy Kaguya who manipulated Madara-nii into a mess, Ootsutsuki invaders during the peaceful times... I didn't ask for details, but even this was enough. I have to get destroy some factors before I'll be able to return to my world.

"Do you want those memories to stay intact or would you prefer them being erased, Hiruzen-kun?"

"Erased." - His reply came almost immediately. - "They are useless since the story is different and will only serve as a burden later."

"I wouldn't say that. They saved you once already."

"Eh?"

"I think, you saw a black being, Zetsu, in those memories, right?" - He nodded with a disgusted look on his face. - "I eradicated the thing almost a year ago, but it left a nasty present for us."

Desbeilieve filled his orbs. He wasn't a fool and my hints were more than enough for him.

"He tempered with me?"

"Yes. He is quite strong at influencing people. He injected some of his chakra into you and you were slowly corroded from the inside. I don't mean corroded physically. He was changing the way you were thinking and if my diagnosis is correct, you would turn out to be something similar to Danzo in the 'Future'."

He stared at me, then at his arms and I felt his anger boiling up in his heart.

"So that was why? That is why I would something that I felt horrible about later?"

"Do you mean telling nonsense to Orochimaru and some of your underhanded blows at Danzo and some other shinobi?" - I did start gathering information about him as soon as I had that talk with Jiraya. My village cannot have this kind of mould happening when I'm around.

He nodded resolutely, but some embarrassment could be easily spotted if one looked close enough.

"It is good that you feel remorse and guilt. However, I'll tell you a secret - one can't manipulate a person without a base to work on. Zetsu wasn't implementing his own ideas into your head, no, he was just strengthening those sides of you that he deemed necessary."

He froze and I continued.

"No one is perfect, but that kind of inclinations might pose a threat to the future. I hope you can understand."

"I can." - He answered quietly. Maybe, I went a bit too far. One can't be an excellent shinobi or human from the start.

"Good." - I smiled at him. - "Now, come here. I'll erase those unnecessary memories of yours and will put a special mark on you." - He came over and sat facing his back to me. His shoulders were a bit tense and heart was beating complicated rhythm. When I touched his head, he flinched a bit as if fearing pain. - "Don't worry. The process will be painless. Moreover, if you're scared because of my words, then I think you misunderstood me a bit."

His aura instantly overflowed with scepticism but he just nodded on the outside. Your student is a very good shinobi, Tobirama-nii.

"I will explain. As we are talking, I'm gathering memories of your previous life in my palm. When I'm done, I'll remove them from you. It is impossible to erase a memory, so there are only a few possible ways to get rid of them: block, change or remove. The first two have a high probability either not work or pose a tonne of problems later."

"And removing them?"

"If it is done skillfully, it is the best course of actions. The mark that I mentioned previously, isn't dangerous or a monitoring bug. It'll only provide information to me when your doings and thoughts might get too dangerous. In everything else, I'll be counting on your intelligence to judge yourself."

I didn't want to talk anymore and wrapped up the process before he opened his mouth again. A silvery, but transparent sphere was circling in my hands before a golden flame devoured it. Not even a trace remained. The cleaning is done.

"Let's go. We have to catch up to the rest. Also, I'll be waiting for an apology to Orochimaru-kun. Thanks to you, he almost shut away from everyone."

He won't remember most of our talk, but he will have a very strong hunch that he should change his behaviour.

"I'll be going over to my students now, Hokage-sama."

"Yes. You are free to leave." - Izuna heaved another sigh, - "Thank you for saving them, Malika."

"I couldn't do otherwise." - I flashed a smile at him and teleported away.

We returned to Konoha a few hours ago and we, Tobirama and I, went to our Hokage to give our reports. I informed Izuna about our return, so when we entered the office, Tobirama was greeted by two pairs of very angry eyes. Apparently, Hashirama had just returned from his mission as well and came here with a report while Madara headed straight home.

Needless to say, Tobirama received a share of reprimanding for his foolishness and left the office with his brother. I stayed a bit longer and gave my report, finished my paperwork that had piled up a bit and now I'm heading to meet my students. Our training will resume again, after all.

I first visited Hiruko and Orochimaru. They became good friends and were again together, discussing something regarding science. They received the news and resumed their debate as to if nothing happened and I wasn't there anymore. I left a few minutes later, pleased by them. They didn't neglect the training and Orochimaru was now a lot closer to his element and it appears that Hiruko also started developing his element - Water.

Next on the list were the Senju siblings. I leisurely walked through the compound. I have no need to rush as I have permission to be here whenever and wherever I want.

Just as I was entering the premises of their house I was suddenly obstructed by someone. A woman in her early twenties with long, sooth black hair and reddish eyes stood in my way. She had thin red lines just above her eyelids and they were almost unnoticeable. Jiraya had similar lines, but they were way thicker and shorter, as well as being just below of his eyes.

Another shadow appeared behind me. It was a man a little younger than the woman before me and was a perfect image of Tabirama except, he didn't have the red lines.

"Who is she, Nee-san?"- The man asked a woman, who was his sister.

"I don't know, Nii-chan." - She squinted her eyes and resembled Fiji-san a lot. - "Do you think she might be a friend of Jiraya-chan?"

By now, I figured out the identities of the mysterious pair before me, and irritation was slowly building up inside of my chest.

"Judging by his habits, I wouldn't be surprised if she was her to kill him though." - The mini-Tobirama shook his head.

"True..." - The woman nodded in agreement and directed her attention on to me. - "So, who are you? You should know that the house of the clan-leader cannot be transposed as one pleases."

"I know." - I acknowledged with a smile. - "I'm not transposing though."

"Are you really, though?"

"Yup." - I turned to the house and said with my voice amplified with chakra - "Tobirama-nii! If you're not coming out now, I'll close our laboratory for a month."

With a gust of wind, he appeared in the front yard. As I saw that he had already taken a shower and changed into clean and fresh clothes.

"You can't do that." - He shook his head with his usual poker face, - "I am in the doorsteps of inventing something new!"

"Alright. I won't. However, Tobirama, why didn't you tell me about them?" - I pointed at the super confused children of my friend and Nii-san.

"I didn't?" - His face showed concern while his aura was filled with mischieve.

"Yup, you didn't. I didn't even know that Jiraya had siblings apart from Nawaki and Tsunade, Nii-san."

"I guess, forgot. You know, I'm getting old." - At my stern gaze, he finally introduced them to me. - "He is Komon and she is Kirameku, my son and daughter."

"Nice to meet you, I guess." - Turned to the baffled siblings and suddenly two voices came from the house.

"Malika-sensei! You are back!"

Tsunade and Jiraya came out as well and now the two of the new people were too distracted to even make a sound.
