Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

They saw the incredibly majestic Nine-Tomoe Sharingan within Qing Shui's eye sockets!

Chapter 279 chose Aokiji as Naruto's future, and...

Tobirama Senju takes the blame once and for all!

The moment Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki saw Aokiji's nine-tomoe Rinnegan, their hearts felt as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. They quickly looked away.

A sense of oppression…

A sense of oppression that comes from the depths of one's soul!

For these two consciousnesses that are essentially just remnants of chakra, the power of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan can be described as "looking at yourself for too long will cause you to explode on the spot."

"The so-called bloodline limits are essentially remnants of the Otsutsuki's power. As long as you grasp one aspect and trace the evolution of the bloodline, you can naturally deduce the system within..."

As Qing Shui spoke, the deep, dark Seeking Dao Jade instantly shattered, transforming into a pair of scarlet eyes…

Mangekyō Sharingan!

After the Sharingan, those eyes transformed into clear white eyes, red and white bone spurs, and golden chains and life-filled wooden branches that Kushina was very familiar with!

Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, Uzumaki, Kaguya—these are the most famous bloodline limits in the ninja world…

This man can easily conjure it up, and it's all the purest flavor!

The Vajra Sealing Technique released by Qingshui inexplicably reminded Kushina of Uzumaki Mito, the most powerful sealing ninja of the Uzumaki clan!

"My bond with Naruto stems from this."

Aokiji casually waved his hand, and a dim ball of chakra floated out from a corner of Naruto's mental space, landing in front of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

It is Ashura's chakra.

"I descended to this world because I noticed this strange chakra within Naruto, so I chose to reside here temporarily..."

Qing Shui looked at Ashura's chakra and gently twitched his finger.

In an instant, the dimmed Ashura chakra regained its original radiance, emitting a faint milky-white halo that sprinkled onto Naruto, Minato Namikaze, and Kushina...

Driven by Qing Shui, the consciousness contained within Ashura's chakra erupted in a concentrated burst!

immediately.

The expressions of the family of three all changed.

It was remarkably clear that when the aura of Ashura's chakra shone upon them, the negative emotions they felt—such as dissatisfaction, anger, sadness, and confusion stemming from Naruto's situation and his feelings towards Konoha—were palpable.

They are all decreasing rapidly and illogically!

I don't know why, but suddenly I felt that these things that made me so angry didn't seem like such a big deal after all. There might be hidden reasons behind the injustice Naruto encountered, or perhaps the village was in trouble and couldn't do anything about it...

In short, the village also has its difficulties!

This difficulty requires mutual understanding and compromise from everyone to overcome the challenge together...

"What is this!"

After her mind was disturbed by Ashura's chakra, Kushina calmed down for a moment, but she forcibly resisted this strange feeling, preventing the anger in her heart from being extinguished, and instead it burned even more fiercely:

"Mutual understanding? Mutual understanding my ass! No matter who you are or what your techniques are, don't even think about interfering with me!"

Meanwhile, Minato and Naruto, who were standing to the side, did not react as obviously as Kushina.

Naruto lowered his head, and Minato Namikaze began to think.

This father and son, one a former Fourth Hokage of Konoha, accustomed to serving the village with the Will of Fire, and the other still a child, not yet having developed independent values, making him highly susceptible to influence…

Only Kushina.

As a Jinchūriki and an orphan of the Uzumaki clan, she had some understanding of the dark side of the village when she was young. Now, as a mother, no matter how much influence Ashura's chakra had, she could not accept Naruto's experiences!

"You can feel the difference, can't you?"

Qingshui waved his hand, and the Ashura chakra, which was filled with milky white light, seemed to be frozen. It curled up into a ball, dimmed, and drifted into a corner.

"Brother Qingshui, when I was thinking back to when I was bullied, I don't feel so sad anymore..."

Naruto's expression was complicated as he slowly said, "I can even understand them. After all, there is indeed a demon fox inside me, and those who bullied me didn't do it for no reason."

Qingshui nodded knowingly and asked, "So, Naruto, do you understand them now?"

Naruto hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head: "No... Brother Qingshui, I don't think I should be bullied, and I don't want to understand them!"

“I hate the feeling of that light shining on me… I always feel that the light influences my thoughts and makes me not like myself…” Ashura Chakra in the corner of Naruto said.

Kushina, standing nearby, hugged Naruto with great satisfaction, praising her son from the bottom of her heart: "Naruto, that's right! All you need to do is be yourself..."

Minato Namikaze frowned deeply.

Indeed, in his heart, the thoughts of "mutual understanding" and "peace" aroused by Ashura's chakra were in line with Minato Namikaze's consistent way of thinking.

However, seeing the tragic childhood of his orphaned son in front of his lover, even someone as calm as Minato Namikaze could not remain unmoved...

However, Ashura's chakra forcibly amplified the so-called positive emotions in Minato Namikaze's heart...

"Lord Qingshui, may I ask about the origin of that chakra?"

Minato Namikaze's expression was unusually serious, and his words carried a newfound frankness and directness:

“From that chakra, I sensed a power that could manipulate people's minds… Its ability to influence thought far exceeds my understanding of various genjutsu, even surpassing the eye techniques of the Uchiha clan.”

Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, "Considering Naruto's experiences since childhood and his status as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... the fact that he possesses such powerful chakra makes me think a lot."

"This is going to destroy Naruto's independent personality..."

Kushina clenched her fists and muttered to herself, "What is this? Is it because they know they owe Naruto and want to prevent him from going berserk as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, so they're trying to restrict his thinking?"

"I've never heard of a technique that can subtly interfere with one's thoughts... This must be some kind of terrifying forbidden art..."

Kushina looked at Minato Namikaze and said with unusual seriousness, "Minato, you were once the Hokage and read the Scroll of Sealing Techniques... You should know what kind of technique it is, right?"

Minato Namikaze pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed: "The Book of Sealing doesn't record such a technique..."

"But I once read some of the Second Hokage's research notes... I remember that Tobirama Senju researched a ninjutsu with a similar effect to this chakra ball, which was used to brainwash the Uchiha clan members who were attempting to rebel!"

Minato Namikaze's face finally darkened.

Kushina was so angry she was about to go crazy, and she cursed, "As expected... how could the Hokage who studies corpses and forbidden techniques every day really have the Will of Fire in his heart?"

"And how could his disciples and followers be good people!"

"Konoha, from Hashirama and Mito-sama onwards, from the Second Senju Tobirama, has been corrupted from the very beginning! This inherently evil old man Senju has turned the village into a man-eating monster!"

Kushina trembled with rage: "Even the orphan of the Fourth Hokage was brainwashed with forbidden techniques to be used as a vessel for a tailed beast. I can't even imagine what kind of treatment other ninjas will receive!"

"They've probably already started human experimentation, and might even be targeting their own village's ninjas!"

A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on Qing Shui's lips as he shook his head slightly.

Hey!

They were originally talking about the Sage of Six Paths and his son, but since Aokiji hadn't said a word, the Minato couple had firmly pinned the blame on Tobirama Senju!

They even cited classical texts and presented their arguments as if they were well-founded... What kind of "Naruto of the Heavens" and "King of the Universe" are they!

But this old man really does research and develop all sorts of ninjutsu?

From the beginning, when Hiruzen Sarutobi misunderstood that Tobirama Senju wanted to possess Aozuki, to now, Minato Namikaze believes that Ashura's chakra is some kind of forbidden technique used by the Second Hokage to deal with the Uchiha clan...

It seems that anything with a slightly less righteous purpose can find its prototype in Tobirama Senju's research materials!

It's safe to say that if you can think of it, you can find it...

What's even more intriguing is...

Although the blame was misplaced, Kushina's subsequent angry accusations regarding the state of Konoha did correspond to...

At this point in time.

It was Shimura Danzo who gradually infiltrated every aspect of Konoha's power structure, and he had already conducted human experiments on Wood Release with Orochimaru, with even the village's children unable to escape his clutches...

"What happens in your village is none of my business."

Qingshui coughed lightly and said slowly, "I only focus on Naruto. He and I are destined for each other... As the child I chose, I will teach him the power to protect himself..."

"To grow undisturbed into the person he wants to be."

"As Naruto's parents, what do you think? I won't force you; fate cannot be forced..."

Kushina immediately raised her hand, took Naruto's small hand, and shouted loudly, "Lord Aoshui! I am willing to let you teach Naruto!"

"You can do whatever you want! If the child misbehaves, you can hit him or scold him as you please. Don't hold back. Just treat Naruto like you would your own children!"

Naruto's little face immediately scrunched up.

what the hell!

Qingshui and I are friends, not the traditional teacher-student relationship...

This mother is really something, how could she have sold herself out like this?

But what Kushina was thinking was...

After misunderstanding that Ashura's chakra was a forbidden technique to control Naruto, and considering the unfair treatment Naruto received despite his background, she lost all hope in the entire village of Konoha!

This place is utterly rotten; it absolutely cannot become Naruto's place of refuge afterward...

Without Aokiji, even if Kushina were just a wisp of chakra now, she would still have to find a way to maintain her existence, help Naruto grow, and escape Konoha as soon as possible…

But with the powerful Qing Shui present.

Kushina was overjoyed. She possessed the Sage of Six Paths' eyes and was knowledgeable about all bloodline limits and chakra forms and nature transformations in the ninja world…

In particular, his appearance was otherworldly and refined, and his words hinted that he didn't seem to be from this world!

Based on Naruto's statement that Aozuki is a traveler...

Kushina guessed that either Aoshizu was the legendary Sage of Six Paths, or he was an existence beyond the ninja world and beyond her understanding!

In short, Qingshui being Naruto's teacher is a blessing he couldn't have earned in eight lifetimes...

There was no need for a powerful figure like Qing Shui to deceive them... Kushina was already flattered that he even had the patience to explain things to her, and she was grateful for Naruto's incredible good fortune.

"Lord Qingshui, I'll leave Naruto to you..."

After seeing Kushina's stance, Minato Namikaze, who initially intended to speak for Konoha, now clearly expressed his own position:
