Qing Shui said softly, "Your thinking is too extreme... If you want to become a guardian of Gaia's consciousness, I think you first need to have a basic understanding of human nature..."

"The human heart is the most complex thing in the world; it has a side so ugly it's disgusting, yet it also has moments that reflect unparalleled brilliance... When you've witnessed both good and bad, yet still feel the world is lovely and genuinely want to protect it..."

"I think it will be at that time that you will be recognized by this planet."

Listening to Qingshui's gentle words, Kaguya felt a warm current flow through her heart.

Although she deceived Qingshui…

But at least at this moment, Kaguya could genuinely feel that Aozumi truly wanted to teach her something precious…

I trust her too!

"I'm sorry, Qingshui... I won't take your life. As compensation, even if I possess your body, I will find a way to keep you alive..." Kaguya took a deep breath and thought to herself.

A glint flashed in Qing Shui's eyes, and the vortex-like spatial turbulence, like a small boat, instantly teleported from the Blackwater Nine Dragon Coffin to Qing Shui's alternate dimension, and then to Konoha Village.

Tonight, a boy named Uchiha Kei was sent to the capital of the Land of Fire by Aokiji, where he will live as a happy rich young master, beginning a different kind of life from that of a ninja.

Qingshui, on the other hand, returned to the Ninja Academy after many years.

This is only compared to him back then.

The body inside Aokizuki was no longer occupied by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, but by Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit…

On the way to school.

Aozumi and Kaguya said with a smile, "By the way, today's first lesson is a lecture on the Will of Fire, so study hard!"

Kaguya looked at Konoha with great curiosity and asked, "The Will of Fire... what is that?"

"That is the foundation upon which Konoha was founded..."

Qing Shui added in his mind, "It's also the strongest genjutsu, surpassing Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

They entered the classroom.

Qing Shui looked up and chuckled softly.

In this lesson, the teacher was none other than Asuma, who had just become a Jonin and was not yet an adult, giving the students of the Ninja Academy their first lesson on the Will of Fire…

Two of the students in Qing Shui's class became quite famous...

One was named Itachi Uchiha, and the other was named Kabuto.

Not only that…

At this moment, the final confrontation regarding Konoha was activated, along with a large amount of information about Hashirama Senju's power and techniques!

I'll update with a 6K chapter first!

Let's move on to Chapter Two!

I've been having some writer's block lately, but I'm trying to write 8,000 words a day!

Let's aim for 12,000 today!

Chapter 231 Konoha's Final Showdown with the Chosen One, Asuma Gives Radiance

Chapter 231 Konoha's Final Showdown - Asuma's Lesson on the Blue Water Will for Kaguya, the Child of Destiny!

[Hastened a strong sense of identification with the host from Hashirama Senju, and has been bound as a target!]

[From your lane opponent, Hashirama Senju—You have received Sage Mode enhancements, a collection of Wood Release ninjutsu (Hashirama version), and a significantly purified Senju bloodline!]

[From your matchup targets: Tsunade, Shisui Uchiha, Hachiho Uchiha, Might Guy, Might Guy, Asuma, Hiruko, Mito Uzumaki, etc.—You've begun the final showdown!]

[Final Showdown (Konoha Team)]:

Your confrontation with the Leaf Village has reached its final stage.

When the match ends, you will permanently gain double the target's chakra, bloodline purification, soul strength, and all other basic attributes, as well as all of their ninjutsu. Furthermore, when you use their signature ninjutsu or corresponding special talents, their effectiveness and power will be doubled.

[Sensing a specific similar group—Konoha Village—the host has developed a strong sense of belonging and has been bound as a target!]

[From the village of Konoha, your laning target, you have gained a special talent resulting from the final laning phase—"Child of Destiny"!]

[Child of Destiny]:

As the emotions you have gathered intensify within Konoha and the final showdown between the Konoha members gradually comes to an end, the fortune of this time and space will gradually be bestowed upon you. This fortune will increase your rate of absorbing natural energy, enhancing your chakra recovery speed, physical strength, and self-healing abilities.

This special talent unlocks the final lane, but requires completing "Heart of the Mist", "Calamity of the Wind", "Rampage of Thunder", and "Destruction of Stone". Upon completion, you will receive a special reward - "Blessing of Gaia's Consciousness"!

On the podium.

Asuma passionately recounted his understanding of the Will of Fire, reciting it in a poetic style: "This is a line from the Azure Water..."

Upon hearing the name "Qingshui," the young students of the ninja academy immediately changed their playful expressions and sat up straight with great seriousness.

The boy standing to the side had shining eyes. The education he received in the Root was—"I eat Lord Qingshui's food, I wear Lord Qingshui's clothes, and my heart is filled with Lord Qingshui's kindness..."

The clever Kabuto initially found this rather strange…

However, Kabuto's most respected orphanage director, Yakushi Nonou, earnestly told him that Lord Aozumi was indeed worthy of their respect.

Thus, Dou, having let down her guard, gradually became immersed in Qingshui's story, until she was completely captivated after the war.

Uchiha Itachi listened with wide eyes. After the war ended, his father, Uchiha Fugaku, fell into a deep state of confusion, often muttering incoherently, "How could the Mangekyou Sharingan have stopped working?"

Having witnessed firsthand how Aoshui single-handedly slaughtered the enemy, Itachi harbored an intense curiosity about Aoshui.

This man was not only one of the most outstanding Uchiha in history, but also a master of the Will of Fire!

"Where leaves dance, fire will never cease; wherever leaves flutter, fire will burn... The fire's light will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout..."

Asma said softly:

"From his time at the Ninja Academy, Aokiji, a Uchiha feared by the village's higher-ups, selflessly shared his experience and ninjutsu with anyone in need, using his warm heart and exceptional talent..."

"Whether it's ninja clans, commoners, or even the Hokage's son like me who initially had reservations about him, or the hawkish Uchiha who misunderstood him, Aozumi treated everyone equally, acting with the compassion of a bodhisattva but with swift and decisive action. He's had the mindset of a Hokage since his days at the Ninja Academy..."

At this point, Asuma suddenly slapped himself: "No, it's far beyond the Hokage's thinking!"

How could my old man compare to Qing Shui?

"The shrewd and gentle Qing Shui united Konoha with his Will of Fire, from commoners and Uchiha to the Hokage lineage. He also protected the village with his talent, sheltering you, who were still saplings, from the wind and rain..."

Asuma's eyes flashed with the image of Qingshui's voice and smile, and it seemed as if tears were glistening in her eyes:

"I don't expect you to reach Qing Shui's level. I only hope that you can understand his spirit and put the Will of Fire into practice in your hearts!"

After that, Asma told many stories about the blue water.

From the rebellious son of the Hokage to Aokiji personally guiding him and teaching him profound Fire Release chakra ninjutsu...

A perennial genin was discovered by Aoshizuki and became Might Guy, the first genin to be promoted to jonin through taijutsu and possessing unfathomable strength…

Despite lacking resources, Nohara Rin caught the attention of Aokiji, who selflessly shared his knowledge and even used his Sharingan to teach her the Healing Palm Technique…

There's also Kakuzu, who was once an enemy but was persuaded by Aozu.

And when he was framed by Shimura Danzo and no one in the village dared to speak out, it was Aozumi who took the lead in exonerating Hatake Sakumo and saving him!

There are many things involved...

Even in Konoha today, only Asuma dares to tell the students of the Ninja Academy about his identity.

Was the relationship between the Konoha leadership and the Uchiha clan once sensitive?

speak!

Former Hokage Danzo Shimura persecuted war hero Sakumo Hatake?

speak!

With Asma, nothing is off-limits; everything is open to discussion.

As long as these newcomers to Konoha experience the greatness of Seisui, that's enough!

As children, they listened to Asuma's vivid recounting of Konoha's past darkness, and how Aoshui, as a ray of light, rose from his Uchiha identity to gradually gain the support and trust of most people...

Many of these topics are things their parents, after drinking too much, wouldn't dare to talk about at the dinner table.

Many ninja academy students were captivated by the thrilling and exciting story of Aoshui, simply cheering for this legendary experience…

The bright children, such as the precocious Itachi Uchiha and Kabuto, gleaned even more from Asuma's narration, and their admiration for Aokiji quietly took root in their hearts.

They knew all too well how difficult it was for Qingshui to have accomplished all of this…

Unbeknownst to them, a wisp of luck was bestowed upon Qing Shui.

Below the stage, Aokiji, who was temporarily playing the role of Uchiha Itachi, laughed cheerfully.

As expected of Asuma, his method of praising him is unparalleled in Konoha, and combined with his status as the son of the Hokage, he is even more invincible.

These few words stirred the emotions of the ninja academy students to the extreme, and they all deeply remembered the name Qingshui.

Kaguya listened intently as Asuma told the story of the Blue Water.

It turns out that the struggles between these mortals are so fraught with danger. There are so many factions in a small village, from commoners and ninja clans to the upper echelons, each with their own stance.

Kaguya, who was sealed in the moon for thousands of years, means "pleasant to hear," "love to hear," and "talk more!"

"Seisui, it turns out your situation was even worse than mine when I was part of the Otsutsuki clan..."

Kaguya said in a low voice, "Truly remarkable. To rise from such a suppressed family and step by step reach the top, even figuring out my... Otsutsuki Hagoromo's backup plan and wanting to seal him away!"

"How do your shoulders withstand so much pressure and still keep going?"

Kaguya's eyes seemed to sparkle, as if a star-struck girl had seen the embodiment of the male protagonist from a romance novel appear before her.

There's so much I want to talk about!

"Alright, that's all for this lesson."

After Asuma finished speaking with great enthusiasm, his expression turned serious again, and he said in a deep voice, "The next lesson will be taught to you by another ninja. The content will be chakra control and an introduction to the Three Body Techniques!"

"Your homework is essentially thorough preparation!"

"Qingshui, tell me the stories that the bearded boy told you about you. I want to know more details!" Kaguya said with great interest.

Qingshui calmly shook his head: "No, Kaguya, you should do your homework!"

Kaguya waved her hand dismissively: "That's easy! Watch me!"

And while Asma was telling stories.
