Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

"Qingshui, how can you possibly condense a technique with so little chakra?"

Kaguya, being an Otsutsuki, after losing her ability to "clap her hands and get whatever she wants," listlessly and repeatedly performed hand seals. After failing again in her attempt at the Three Bodies Technique, she said blankly:

"I really can't do it!!"

The Goddess of the Rabbit has never fought such a poorly paid battle in her life...

"Is it that no one else can do it either? Qingshui, your expectations of me might be too high. I need to go for something more basic!"

Kaguya looked at Aoshizu's amused expression and said, embarrassed and annoyed, "I don't believe that those kids in the ninja academy could do what I can't!"

Qing Shui raised an eyebrow.

If the class were just a bunch of average kids, there wouldn't be many who could skillfully use the Three Bodies Technique at this age when they first entered school.

This is, after all, part of the graduation exam.

But sitting next to Qingshui were Uchiha Itachi and Kabuto.

Putting aside Itachi Uchiha's character, his talent was exceptional within the Uchiha clan.

In the original timeline, Itachi Uchiha was at this age when his self-training was witnessed by Orochimaru, who was spying on him, and this sparked the mad scientist's greed.

Needless to say, Dou is even more so.

If it weren't for Izanami's initial killing blow, this person could have surpassed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan user Sasuke with the strength of a mere mortal...

His talent is extraordinary.

Kabuto, who grew up in the orphanage at the root of the village, never lacked resources from a young age.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again..."

Qing Shui shook his head:

"Although even if a mortal hones their skills to the extreme, they still cannot compare to a casual strike from an Otsutsuki, in terms of sheer proficiency, we, born into poverty, have to painstakingly divide one unit of chakra into five parts because we can only tightly grasp the limited resources we have..."

Kaguya covered her ears: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! If all mortals were like you, then the Otsutsuki clan might as well be called the mortal clan!"

Qing Shui chuckled silently.

At this moment, due to the presence of Hashirama Senju, Tsunade, Shisui, Might Guy, and others…

After reading through the letters Qingshui left for them, and focusing their emotions entirely on Qingshui, the special talent of the chosen one of destiny made Qingshui's fortune even stronger.

No one else can detect it.

However, Kaguya within Qingshui clearly sensed the increase in Qingshui's power.

"Natural energy, how can it keep flowing into his body..."

Kaguya muttered to herself in astonishment, "Isn't this the power only the Divine Tree possesses? Am I an Otsutsuki, or is he an Otsutsuki?!"

The divine tree needs to absorb natural energy through violent means, forcibly devouring it.

However, Qing Shui, who was surrounded by the fortune of the ninja world, was naturally favored by this world as his fortune became thicker and thicker. Natural energy flowed into his body quickly, even faster than the divine tree!

For a divine tree to bear a chakra fruit, it needs to remain in the earth for a thousand years…

In Kaguya's view, if the azure water continues to absorb at this rate, it won't take a thousand years at all; two or three hundred years might be enough!

Kaguya couldn't understand it at all...

When she first met Qing Shui, the two had fought. At that time, although Qing Shui was powerful and had extremely skillful combat techniques, he had not yet awakened similar traits and could still be considered a mortal.

But only a few days later...

After a series of foreshadowing events laid by Qingshui came to fruition, the final confrontation between the Konoha members and the convergence of various emotions ensued.

In Kaguya's eyes, Qing Shui seemed to be on a rocket, his strength constantly increasing, which she couldn't understand.

"Even within the main family... his speed of increasing strength is absolutely genius among geniuses..." Kaguya murmured to herself.

At this moment, Kaguya was very grateful that she had been sealed away by Qingshui by a twist of fate.

This actually gave her the opportunity to get in touch with Qingshui...

If Qingshui were to grow naturally, the seal would naturally break after a hundred years. Kaguya believed that even if she gathered the power of the Ten-Tails, Qingshui would only need to absorb natural energy, which would be no different from having eaten a Chakra Fruit.

Kaguya didn't even dare to think about it...

Qing Shui, whose power was on the same level as hers, used a much more brutal method of beating her when they fought!

"What's wrong, Kaguya?"

Seeing Kaguya's stunned expression, Aozuki smiled helplessly: "I hope you don't find this amusing. I once considered imitating the Otsutsuki clan's methods, trying to absorb natural energy to strengthen myself, all for the sake of the Otsutsuki clan..."

"But I don't have the Divine Tree after all. Although I have developed the corresponding spells, the speed is still too slow."

"However, in order to fight against the Sage of Six Paths, even being a little stronger is good..."

Qingshui sighed, shook his head, and said, "This is what we mortals do. Many times, what we do seems ridiculous to those in heaven, but it is the limit we can reach in our struggles."

Although…

Qing Shui's words were very touching, and for a moment Kaguya felt the spirit of someone who, despite being an ant, still dared to challenge a dragon...

That indomitable willpower!

But the next moment, Kaguya, who had just been feeling touched, remembered that the person in front of her was Aoshui.

A "mortal" who can simulate or even surpass the divine tree with his physical body?

"Ha ha…"

Kaguya laughed awkwardly, trying to keep a straight face, and mumbled incoherently, "Yes, yes... you're right, Aoshui..."

[From your special talent—Kaguya's fear—your Otsutsuki bloodline has been purified!]

【Kaguya's Fear】: Whenever your strength increases, your mastery of ninjutsu, and your understanding of combat surpass Kaguya's comprehension, your bloodline receives additional purification.

Kaguya's expression froze completely. She seemed to vaguely sense that Qing Shui had become stronger again.

Kaguya once thought she had seen geniuses among the Otsutsuki clan, and many members of the main family could be described as having extraordinary talents.

But compared to Qing Shui's speed, those geniuses seem more like "ordinary people"...

"So, you must strive to become stronger, Kaguya!"

Aokiji and Kaguya exchanged a serious look: "Your talent far surpasses mine. Mastering combat techniques and skillfully utilizing your power is the best way to deal with those evil Otsutsuki!"

"I will teach you all the skills I'm good at, as long as you want to learn and study hard..."

In Aozumi's clear black eyes, Kaguya saw only sincerity.

Qingshui genuinely wanted to help her!

"I...I understand, Qingshui..." Kaguya waved her small, reddish-white fist: "I'll do my best!"

After witnessing Qing Shui's talent...

Kaguya seemed to see a glimmer of hope for her peaceful life afterward!

Although the Sage of Six Paths, Isshiki, Hamura, and the Otsutsuki from beyond the heavens are all eyeing Aoshui, it may not be long before they launch a fierce attack!

Even with Qing Shui's astonishing talent, he is still just an undeveloped genius due to the gap in foundation, unable to convert his potential into combat power and thus unable to defeat his enemies.

But... isn't she still inside Qing Shui's body?

Rather than facing those terrifying enemies alone, feeling lonely and lost, Kaguya already had an idea in her mind…

If we continue to investigate, Qingshui is a trustworthy person.

Kaguya wouldn't mind lending her power to Qingshui to help him get through the early stages of being hunted by powerful opponents, allowing him to slowly grow stronger...

Is this a kind of... unconventional form of development?

Kaguya's face flushed involuntarily, but she still maintained a certain degree of composure.

Even though Qing Shui suits her taste in every way, now is not the time to be love-struck!

Kaguya kept telling herself, "It's not the right time yet! Kaguya, you're just using Uchiha Aoshui to learn combat techniques. He's not someone who can be trusted!"

"You don't understand him at all. You need to stay calm and not let yourself be fooled like before!"

Kaguya, who had been betrayed by Hamura and Hagoromo in the past, harbored a certain degree of wariness.

Aozumi, however, was unaware of Kaguya's thoughts and didn't care.

Kaguya's idea was that Aoshui could accept her power and temporarily abandon the ninja world to hide and wait for his strength to grow...

But Qing Shui cannot do that.

In Qing Shui's view, as long as they are ninjas close to him, and as long as their current situation or the planned ending is better than in the original timeline, then no matter how he arranges their storyline, he will not be treating them unfairly...

The bottom line isn't high, but it's still there.

This bottom line prevents Qing Shui from abandoning the ninja world.

Instead, the goal is to accumulate the emotions of the ninja world on him as quickly as possible, not only to generate more gold coins but also to absorb more luck and ultimately make Gaia's consciousness choose him...

"Hello, are you the son of Chief Fugaku?"

Aoki walked confidently to Itachi's side and asked, "Excuse me... have you mastered the Three Body Techniques? The homework Asuma assigned was quite difficult for me..."

"If it's convenient, I'd like to see how you unleash your Three Bodies Technique?"

Upon hearing Qingshui's words, Uchiha Itachi was startled from his reverie. Somewhat flustered, he glanced at Qingshui with a rather embarrassed expression: "Sorry, I was thinking about something just now!"

"Excuse me, are you also a ninja from the Uchiha clan?"

When Itachi Uchiha heard the name Fugaku in Aozumi's words, his head started to ache even more.

His father's recent delirium has worsened...

At first, he kept saying how could the Mangekyou Sharingan go wrong, but in the last two days he's become ecstatic. His mental state is probably one of the most outrageous among the Uchiha clan.

Before going to school today, Fugaku Uchiha solemnly emphasized to Itachi Uchiha: "Son, you are the chosen one. You must study hard. The future of the ninja world and the clan rests on your shoulders..."

Young Itachi Uchiha was still reeling from the image of Aokiji slaughtering the enemy when Fugaku knocked him unconscious again.

No matter how you look at it, Lord Qingshui is the only choice, right?

What does this have to do with a ninja academy student like him?

Especially after listening to Asuma's lesson on the Will of Fire of Aosui, Itachi Uchiha felt not only awe for Aosui but also a deep-seated resentment towards Fugaku...

How did such a powerful person with a burning will of fire in his heart end up on the opposite side by his short-sighted father?
