Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Itachi Uchiha calmed himself down.

He didn't want to become a fool like Fugaku; he wanted to follow Aozumi's path to protect the Uchiha clan!

The first step, just like Qing Shui's, is to start by teaching students who aren't naturally gifted...

“Of course, no problem. The hand seals for the Three Body Technique are like this, and the chakra flow must be conducted in the body like this…” Uchiha Itachi explained to Aoshui, then formed the hand seals and demonstrated the transformation technique, turning himself into a wooden stake.

Qingshui nodded: "Did you see it clearly? Kaguya..."

Kaguya strained to watch Itachi's hand seals and movements, her composure starting to crumble.

No, is it really possible for an ordinary person to use ninjutsu with just that little bit of chakra?

Looking at it this way, isn't she, this Ōtsutsuki, good for nothing except for her good bloodline?

"You try it, Kaguya..." Aozuki generously gestured for the goddess of the rabbit to control his body.

Qingshui wasn't worried that Kaguya might do something irrational at this moment.

Putting aside the fact that control over the body can be taken back at any time...

Given the objective circumstances, with the ninja world surrounded by packs of Otsutsuki wolves...

If Kaguya wants to avoid being discovered in the ninja world and conceal her presence, she must rely on Aoshui's control over power.

Even if this body were given to Kaguya, she wouldn't understand how to use it.

But in Kaguya's little mind, she only sensed Aoshui's trust in her, seemingly without any concern that she might do something detrimental to her...

This feeling of being trusted without reservation stirred a flutter in Kaguya's heart that she had never experienced before, amidst the unfamiliarity.

Trust and being trusted...

A very simple logic is that when a person is frequently trusted by others, they will naturally assume that others are likely to trust them as well…

Kaguya, who had never been trusted by anyone and had been betrayed many times, finally gained Aoshui's trust for the first time.

Kaguya recalled Itachi Uchiha's hand seals and, within the framework of the ninja academy student's limited talents imposed on her by Aozumi, tried her best to mobilize the jutsu with her meager chakra...

But it still failed.

Kaguya stood there awkwardly, her cheeks turning completely red.

Itachi Uchiha scratched his head, looking at Aozumi (Kaguya) who was bowing her head and remaining silent, and whispered to comfort her, "It's alright. The Three Body Techniques are an assessment item that is only conducted when graduating from the Ninja Academy, so it's normal that you can't do it now..."

Itachi's words of comfort only worsened Kaguya's mood.

In other words, every little kid within her sight, after graduating a few years later, will have a stronger chakra control ability than her.

You really shouldn't do this!

"Kaguya, I do have a method that can quickly help you master the technique..."

Qing Shui pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "But you need to trust me completely, let me control your consciousness, draw you into my five senses, and immerse yourself in how I release ninjutsu..."

"But I must point out that this is somewhat dangerous for you."

"Given your current abilities, if I were to take this opportunity to imprison your consciousness, you would be in serious trouble. I don't believe that someone who can't even master the Three Body Technique can successfully resist my control when he is at a disadvantage."

in fact.

Qingshui could neither imprison Kaguya's consciousness nor forcibly seize all her power...

Even if Kaguya is completely unresisting, she is still an Otsutsuki who has eaten the Chakra Fruit. If Aoshui were to extract her power while she is struggling wildly, it would be like a tailed beast that does not cooperate with its Jinchūriki at all.

They might be able to extract some chakra, but it would cause a lot of trouble for Qingshui.

But after Aozumi bluntly told Kaguya...

Kaguya, who couldn't even learn the Three Body Technique and was deeply doubting herself, had unwavering faith in Aoshui, who had once brutally beaten her.

Qing Shui then changed the subject and said sincerely, "However, I promise I won't do that to you... I just want to help you get used to how to use your power correctly as soon as possible, so that your strength can unleash its full potential."

Kaguya's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips with some hesitation.

Should we try giving it to Qing Shui?

If she gave it to him, and Qing Shui had designs on her, then she would indeed have no room to resist…

But if we don't give it to Qingshui, will the trust that the two of us have just built up crack at this moment?

Especially since Qing Shui had explained the pros and cons to her, he hadn't hidden anything from her at all...

Kaguya found it difficult to say no.

"I... I can't fight Qing Shui right now. If I don't make up for my weaknesses, my strength will stagnate, and it will also damage my relationship with Qing Shui..."

"Anyway... I can't learn it myself, and Qing Shui wouldn't lie to me, right?"

Kaguya recalls the lessons on the Will of Fire that Asuma taught her.

This scene is actually quite similar to how Aokiji used his Sharingan to hypnotize Asuma and teach him the essence of Fire Release...

Qingshui had always been this helpful, and it wasn't just about her.

After much self-reflection and deliberation, Kaguya softly hummed in agreement, avoiding Aozumi's gaze: "You...you come on, Aozumi..."

"How should I cooperate with you?"

Qing Shui smiled slightly and said softly, "You just need to relax, it's alright..."

Kaguya gave up resisting.

Aokiji took over Kaguya's consciousness, his hands slowly forming hand seals, guiding her through the delicate process of how to efficiently mobilize chakra and how to quickly unleash ninjutsu...

After going over it in my mind several times.

Qingshui slowly released control over Kaguya's consciousness, subtly allowing her to take the lead and, relying on inertia, successfully released the Three Body Technique with a tiny amount of chakra!

This marked the beginning of Kaguya taking control of her own power; the goddess of the rabbit had finally taken a small step.

For Qing Shui, this marked a significant step forward as he began to imprint his mark upon Kaguya's soul and body!

A completely relaxed state of mind is the perfect opportunity for the blue water to erode and assimilate Kaguya...

In a daze.

When Kaguya woke up, she realized that Aoshui was no longer controlling her; instead, she had released the ninjutsu herself. She covered her mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "Aoshui, I did it!"

Qingshui nodded with a smile: "Yes, you did it, Kaguya... I believe in you, you can do even more!"

On the outside.

Uchiha Itachi looked at Aoshui, who had been silent and seemed disappointed with his own talent, and after thinking for a while, he released the technique almost without forming hand seals, a look of shock flashing in his eyes.

You only watched it once?

It completely optimized the essence of what he had learned from his father.

"You... what's your name..." Itachi Uchiha looked at Aokiji with a serious expression and said earnestly, "You are a genius!"

"Kaguya, did you hear that? This little kid is praising you as a genius..."

Aozuki extended his fist towards Kaguya, saying happily, "To commemorate our first collaboration..."

Kaguya excitedly bumped fists with Aoshui, shaking her head and saying, "I really am a genius!"

[From your lane target, Kaguya Otsutsuki, you have gained a special talent—Assimilation of the Goddess of the Rabbit!]

[Assimilated Goddess of the Rabbit]: Kaguya's chakra, or the chakra of the Ten-Tails or its split forms, cannot corrupt you.

"You flatter me, Itachi."

Qingshui shook his head and said softly to Uchiha Itachi, "My name is Uchiha Kei. Thank you for your demonstration."

It's like performing a crosstalk routine; if there's a straight man, there naturally needs to be a supporting man.

After Aokiji taught Kaguya the skills, the presence of Itachi Uchiha as a contrasting figure, providing a sense of shock from a third-party perspective, allowed Kaguya to gain greater satisfaction and earn more gold coins…

Itachi Uchiha played a role in the little game between Aokiji and Kaguya, which is something he can be proud of.

And this place, the Ninja Academy…

The school, in a subtle way, allows Aokiji and Kaguya to develop a new bond, much like childhood sweethearts going to school together, but with an added element of teacher-student interaction.

Uchiha Itachi watched Qing Shui's retreating figure and fell into silence.

Is he truly the chosen one?

Why do ordinary ninja academy students and unknown clansmen show more talent than him?

Itachi Uchiha could no longer hold back.

Tonight, he's going home to ask Uchiha Fugaku…

And in the dead of night.

As Qing Shui strolled through the streets of Konoha, he whispered to Kaguya, "The first lesson is about combat strength... The second lesson is that I will take you to see the complexities of the human heart..."

"Are you ready, Kaguya?"

Kaguya looked around Konoha with curiosity, then nodded excitedly and seriously: "I'm ready, Aoshui!"

Chapter 234 Kaguya, who felt Itachi was worth protecting, was criticized by Aozumi Subi.

The future that Chiya saw!

"Are you really ready?" Qing Shui looked at the rather excited Kaguya and shook his head with a smile.

After a day of classes at the Ninja Academy, the student version of Kaguya seems to have rekindled her hope for trust between people.

Firstly, it was because even when Qingshui could potentially harm her, he had no dangerous thoughts. He simply and wholeheartedly taught Kaguya how to control chakra, and the two established a tested trust...

Afterwards, Asuma's lesson on the Will of Fire presented Kaguya with a scene of unity and cohesion...

Everyone understands and helps each other, surrounding Qingshui and doing their best towards the same goal.

Just like the ninja sect in the Sage of Six Paths' ideal.

Does Kaguya like this scene?

Of course I like it!

Even though she experienced betrayal, fundamentally, Kaguya created the Otsutsuki brothers, Hamura and Hagoromo, hoping to use their power to help herself…

Under Qingshui's education.
