Let alone Qing Shui's politeness, even this polite and courteous smile is something that can only be hoped for but never attained.
"This older brother looks so gentle..."
As Naruto thought this to himself, his feet moved steadily toward Aokiji, carefully stopping beside him and cautiously speaking:
"Big brother, I'm not actually angry... I'm just surprised that there's such a big fox inside me! As for compensation or anything like that..."
Naruto dawdled for a long time without saying what he needed. His face gradually turned red, as if he felt that his unpleasant manner would leave a bad impression on Aoshui, and he became more and more anxious.
A large hand quietly landed on Naruto's shoulder.
Qingshui crouched down, bringing his gaze level with that of the still-toddler Naruto, and said gently, "Is there nothing you want for the time being? How about this, I noticed you've been looking at this big fox and the ball of light in my hand..."
"How about I teach you ninjutsu? And I'll also teach you how to control the fox inside you, as rent for my place here?"
Seeing Naruto's unusually surprised expression, Qing Shui smiled.
Naruto was still just a child, a new student at the Ninja Academy, and was far too inexperienced…
"If you need anything else, just let me know..."
Qing Shui blinked: "Are these conditions acceptable?"
Naruto nodded vigorously.
These conditions are absolutely perfect!
"Big brother, you're so amazing, you can definitely teach me to become a powerful ninja!"
Naruto held his head high with excitement, glancing at Kurama, who was lying obediently on the ground beside him. He first shrank back slightly in fear.
After all, the Nine-Tails lying down is still the Nine-Tails, still the demonic beast that strikes fear into the hearts of countless ninjas in the ninja world!
But when his gaze turned to the gently smiling Qing Shui, Naruto suddenly felt a surge of courage. He nimbly hid behind Qing Shui, concealing himself completely before cautiously peeking out and making a funny face at the silent Nine-Tails.
"Hehehe~ Big fox, you're so rude! Now I finally understand why everyone calls me the fox demon, it turns out there's someone like you inside me!"
Naruto said indignantly:
"Look at that big brother, so gentle and polite, he even asked me what compensation I needed... You fox, you've been hiding inside me for so long without telling me, you're absolutely despicable!"
"Because of you, everyone in the village calls me the fox demon!"
Two long white breaths escaped from the Nine-Tailed Fox's nostrils.
Damn it, you wretched brat!
What's the deal with you hiding behind this terrifying man?
You dare face me alone! I might let you last three seconds, but tomorrow I, Nine-Tailed Fox, will acknowledge that One-Tailed bastard as my father!
But it's just a thought...
Having fought, or rather, instantly defeated, the Nine-Tails emanating from Aokiji was a terrifying aura that a child like Naruto could never comprehend...
That was a power limit known to the Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails, and the Nine-Tails, reaching another dimension!
If Qing Shui hadn't shown no intention to kill it, he probably would have been dead long ago...
Nine-Tails obediently lowered its head, but inwardly it roared, "Damn brat! Once this dangerous man is gone, I'll settle all our scores with you for today!"
Aoki turned to look at Naruto hiding behind him and casually patted his head: "What's your name? Just call me Aoki."
Naruto lowered his head shyly, but squinted his eyes with satisfaction: "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, you can just call me Naruto, Aokiji!"
"it is good."
Aokiji extended his hand to Naruto, gesturing for his little hand to take it: "From today onwards, we're friends. I hope we get along well in the days to come..."
Upon hearing the word "friend," Naruto chuckled foolishly.
These were completely foreign words to him.
Naruto quickly reached out his little hand and clasped it tightly with Aokiji's big hand, repeating Aokiji's words over and over: "We are... friends!"
And at this moment.
A barely perceptible glint flashed in Qing Shui's eyes, and a peculiar chakra was injected into the depths of Naruto's soul.
This seemingly ordinary scene is actually a unique eye technique of Qing Shui's Rinnegan, which incorporates the bloodlines of various Otsutsuki clans!
It was not copied from anyone else, but was a pupil technique activated by Qing Shui himself, named "Brahma-Transformation Free Heaven".
The ability of "Brahma-Transformation Heaven" allows the user to choose a being who genuinely acknowledges Qing Shui as the target of the spell. Its effect is that when the recipient becomes stronger through Qing Shui's guidance, or when their original fate is reversed...
Depending on the target's own characteristics, the feedback to Qing Shui will be multiplied!
The feedback multiplier is positively correlated with the depth of the emotional bond between the patient and Qingshui.
Simply put, Qing Shui's pupil technique is like a "hundredfold return for taking on disciples" + "reversal of fate" system.
This is why Qing Shui came to the alternate dimension.
In the timeline where Qingshui lived, the strength of most ninjas in the ninja world was basically fixed. Methods like forcibly instilling power to improve their abilities were no longer something that could be easily changed through teaching.
Building relationships with the ninjas is far too tedious and troublesome…
Moreover, the ninjas in this timeline have already reached the final stage of their confrontation. All they need to do is wait quietly for the Sage of Six Paths to generously distribute the last of his gold coins to the ninjas, allowing them to improve their strength and then pass it on to Qing Shui.
Therefore, instead of trying to fix an old save file, why not start a new one across different time periods?
Naruto from another time and space is Aozumi's choice.
As the recipient of the technique, Naruto possesses talents and potential that other targets do not have…
With his exceptional physical attributes, his strength could increase rapidly with just a little training, and he even inspired Qing Shui, who possessed the special talent of "Chosen One," to see a similar feeling in him to himself...
Without a doubt, Naruto is the chosen one of this time and space!
After all, in the timeline where Aokiji isn't present, Naruto is the protagonist of this world…
If Naruto had grown up under Aozuki's tutelage and become a Six Paths Sage-level powerhouse, overturning his original destiny with his own strength and becoming a completely different kind of top-tier powerhouse...
Therefore, Qing Shui could obtain almost the entire world's combined power from Naruto in another dimension without taking away even a trace of chakra from this timeline or violating the laws of time and space.
It's ridiculously good value for money.
"Big brother! When can you teach me ninjutsu?"
Naruto, holding Aozuki's hand, said eagerly, "I really want to become stronger! I want to prove myself to everyone in the village! I want to defeat that arrogant Sasuke, I want the teachers at the Ninja Academy to praise me..."
Qingshui smiled gently: "I can teach you anytime, Naruto... but before that, I have a question for you."
Aokiji stared into Naruto's eyes and said softly, "Why... do you need to prove yourself to the villagers? You are yourself, and you haven't done anything wrong, so why do you need to seek other people's approval?"
"Naruto, I hope you can figure out your true feelings and stop struggling in the eyes of others."
Naruto listened blankly to Aoshi's words, then suddenly realized something was wrong.
Yes…
Why did he need to prove himself to the villagers, and why did he need to gain their approval?
He didn't do anything wrong, did he?
Naruto's expression shifted as he slowly squatted down on the ground. His unusual optimism and resilience vanished, replaced by the resentment he felt towards malice as a normal human being.
Why?
Why should I be treated like that?!
"Brother Qingshui, have I done something wrong?"
Naruto took a deep breath, trying to find the answer in Aoshizu: "Since this terrifying fox is inside me, there must be a reason, right?"
"Although this fox doesn't seem very strong under your command... I think the teachers at the Ninja Academy definitely can't beat it!"
Qing Shui smiled and nodded: "Very smart, Naruto, your analysis is very correct."
“Your background is relatively complicated…and as for the treatment you received, I can’t say whether it was fair or not; you need to judge for yourself. It’s something only you can decide.”
After Qingshui sealed Ashura's chakra.
It's quite obvious that Naruto, who was always overly optimistic and who could absorb the overwhelming malice in Konoha like a sponge without being moved, has changed!
He began to reflect on his situation, wondering if there was something wrong with it...
Instead of acting like a fool, being bullied and not thinking about how to fight back or pursue fair treatment, but instead trying to gain the bully's approval, like a Stockholm syndrome patient, developing a dependent emotional attachment to the abuser.
The influence of Ashura's chakra on Naruto is evident from this.
"My background?"
Naruto looked up in utter surprise: "Brother Qingshui, do you know about my background? Aren't I the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox? Everyone in the village says so!"
"Look, there's a fox inside me. They were right!"
Qingshui shook his head.
"Of course not, Naruto... You are just like any other normal person, with a father and a mother, and you are not the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox. In fact, you could say you are the hero of this village."
Qing Shui said softly, "If you'd like, I can tell you all this..."
"Although I cannot act on my own, due to my special circumstances, I can only reside in your body... but I have a general understanding of this information."
Aokiji pointed to the two orbs of light floating next to Naruto.
“If I’m not mistaken… this is your father’s chakra and your mother’s chakra. If Naruto wants to see them now, I can help you awaken them.”
Naruto rushed to the side of Minato and Kushina's chakra, staring at the two orbs of light in disbelief!
He actually has a father and a mother?
Why, why has no one ever told him this?
"Brother Qingshui, can you let me meet my mom and dad? I've never seen them before!"
Naruto's expression was full of pleading, his eyes looking pitifully at Aokiji: "Please..."
Qing Shui sighed and shook his head.
Seeing Qing Shui shaking his head, Naruto's heart tightened suddenly.
Didn't you just agree to it? Why did you refuse again...?
"Naruto, you don't need to use the word 'beg' to me. We're friends."
Aozuki corrected Naruto's incorrect terminology, tapping the chakra representing Kushina and Minato Namikaze together: "Ready, Naruto…?"
