Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

"Just do whatever you think is best! As Naruto's parents, we are honored that you are his teacher..."

The Ashura chakra, suspected to be a forbidden technique of Tobirama Senju; not a single old friend visited Naruto…

This made Minato Namikaze realize that the village Naruto lived in was no longer the same as the Konoha he had wanted to protect...

As a remnant soul on the verge of dissipation, he couldn't do much, nor did he have the time to consider any of that nonsense about the Will of Fire amidst this complex and chilling situation...

Securing an opportunity for Naruto is the only important thing right now!

Aozuki's power far exceeded Minato Namikaze's comprehension; it was a level that even the legendary God of Shinobi could not compare to...

If such a person could become Naruto's master, then Naruto's life afterward would at least not be as filled with unbearable gray memories as his childhood.

"Naruto, what are you thinking?"

Aokiji nodded noncommittally, then shifted his gaze past Minato Namikaze and Kushina, meeting Naruto's eyes directly.

"I...of course I'm willing, Brother Qingshui!"

Naruto nodded hurriedly, feeling a little helpless, but also a bit dissatisfied.

His parents changed their attitudes so quickly!

At first, they seemed somewhat wary of Qing Shui, as if they wanted to thoroughly interrogate this friend of Naruto's...

After chatting for a bit and experiencing a ball of light, their attitude suddenly changed!

It seems like he can't avoid having Qing Shui as his teacher...

The two of them clearly agreed to be friends from the beginning!

"Naruto, talk to your mom and dad again and say goodbye properly..."

Qingshui turned around and, surrounded by the Nine-Tails' chakra, returned to the top of the giant fox's head, casually sitting cross-legged.

"Naruto, forget all the unpleasant things from the past, and don't feel like you've let anyone down. You're a very, very good kid!"

Kushina held Naruto's hands, tears welling in her eyes:

"Mom has no other requests for you, only that you be happy, healthy, and free for the rest of your life..."

Naruto and Kushina hugged each other tightly, their eyes filled with tears as they whispered their response:

"I will, Mom."

Minato Namikaze stroked Naruto's hair and sighed wearily:

"Your father's past experience is useless to you. Perhaps I've never truly understood this village, even though I was once the Hokage..."

"Study hard from Lord Qing Shui, my son. I'm sorry, but go and become the person you want to be!"

After the family of three exchanged a few final words, Minato Namikaze and Kushina's figures gradually faded away and disappeared into the spiritual space.

Naruto stood there, looking lost and dejected.

"Brother Qingshui, will I ever be able to see my father and mother again?"

"Brother Qingshui, what kind of person should I become? How should I view the village and the things that happened to me?"

Naruto's eyes were filled with confusion; he desperately needed Qing Shui to give him an answer!

Chapter 280 Betrayal is certainly sad, but it is also something one is born without.

Freedom from chains!

"Your parents, when you have completed your studies, if you still wish to see them then, it will not be difficult to bring them back to life..."

Qingshui stroked Naruto's head and said slowly, "The judgment of life and death in this world is not strict. With your talent, Naruto, as long as you work hard to cultivate, there will be a day when you can control the power to reverse life and death."

Qingshui did not lie to Naruto.

Even if the story were to follow the original script, Naruto, having obtained the power of the Six Paths Yang, would still possess a certain air of control over life and death.

"As for your confusion, that's perfectly normal for you, Naruto..."

"You are the son of the Fourth Hokage. Your parents were heroes who died fighting for this village. They sealed the demon fox inside you, hoping that the entire village would remember your family's sacrifice and would surround you with love from a young age, helping you to control the tailed beast..."

"In that case, although you will have a dangerous tailed beast inside you from a young age, logically speaking, Naruto, you should receive the praise of the entire village, the preferential treatment of resources, and the love and care of all adults and your parents' old friends..."

"But things have changed."

Naruto trembled all over; his small mind was not yet able to comprehend the matters concerning the village's politics...

All he knew was that his parents had sacrificed a lot for the village and had considered his needs as their son; in fact, they had made a choice that took both sides into account.

just.

Konoha betrayed the ideas of Minato Namikaze and Kushina.

Thinking back to his time at the Ninja Academy, when the teacher asked everyone about their dreams, Naruto said he wanted to become Hokage, and was laughed at by almost all his classmates…

It's already a mercy that a fox spirit can study normally at the ninja academy; how could it possibly dream of becoming Hokage?

Do not make jokes!

Naruto now finds it all ridiculous and broken.

His barely formed worldview shattered completely under the weight of such a massive amount of information…

"I... I originally wanted everyone in the village to accept me, for the adults to stop giving me those sour looks, and for the villagers and my classmates from the ninja academy to greet me warmly whenever they saw me..."

"I want to become Hokage!"

Naruto swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "But even after my father became Hokage and sacrificed himself for the village, his son was discriminated against and bullied since childhood..."

"Do I really want to become Hokage?"

Children's simple values ​​are always straightforward—to become Hokage, to be respected...

But as the son of the Fourth Hokage, Naruto discovers that the so-called Hokage is completely different from what he imagined.

In his mind, even if a child is from an ordinary family, after his parents die fighting for the village, the neighbors in the village should help him out, or at least not bully or treat him coldly from a young age.

Becoming Hokage is worse than not becoming Hokage at all...

Wasn't he just wasting his time as Hokage?

"Why is the village bullying our family like this? Brother Qingshui..."

Naruto counted on his fingers, saying one by one, "My father was the Fourth Hokage, and I can also tell from my mother's name that she was the last ninja to seal the Demon Fox..."

"Both of them died fighting for the village, and I became the vessel to seal the fox demon..."

"What else do we need to do to gain the village's approval? We haven't done anything wrong, so why are we being punished like criminals...?"

Naruto's eyes were slightly red. At his age, he didn't understand what killing intent was, so what filled his eyes was intense resentment...

"Naruto, why do you need the village's approval?"

Under Naruto's expectant gaze, Aokiji slowly spoke: "Of course, perhaps Konoha once did your father and mother great favors, and had the moral obligation and reason to fight for them..."

"But after everything we've been through, the debts of gratitude have been repaid..."

"Besides, even if Konoha hasn't let you down or your parents, you must remember one thing, Naruto..."

Qingshui walked up to Naruto, half-squatted down, met his gaze into his bright blue eyes, and said earnestly:

"It is wrong to live under the gaze and expectations of others."

"To become a strong person, you need to follow your heart and pursue what you want."

Naruto stared blankly at Aokiji.

Doesn't it matter what others think? Is it really possible to do something like that?

If living isn't about seeking the approval of others, then what is it for?

"Naruto, everyone is born with social relationships and structures; these are both your resources and your limitations..."

“For example, Shikamaru and Choji, who are relatively close to you, have ninja clans and families who take care of them, but their lives are also limited as a result.”

"As a member of the Akimichi clan, even if Choji has other talents, they are unlikely to be discovered. Instead, he will focus on training secret techniques... The same goes for Shikamaru."

"And their life trajectories will continue in the same orderly manner as their parents' steps."

Aokiji's eyes held a hint of encouragement as he continued in a serious tone, "But you're different, Naruto!"

Having lost your parents at a young age, you grew up alone amidst scheming and suspicion, owing no one anything...

"Therefore, you don't need to worry about your innate interpersonal relationships. You only need to focus on your own desires. Being an orphan is your disadvantage, but it is also your unique advantage in terms of mindset!"

Naruto: "Huh?"

Naruto never imagined that being without parents could be such a significant advantage.

That's actually true.

Being an orphan severs the bonds of blood ties at their very core, especially for an orphan who has never received a meal from a hundred families...

No one needs to miss or long for them.

This is why so many fantasy and martial arts heroes start with their parents being sacrificed to the heavens, yet they possess boundless magical power...

People who have no attachments do indeed have a special quality.

"But I don't know what I want..." Naruto muttered to himself, half-squatting on the ground.

"Brother Qingshui, you're right. I really don't care what outsiders think of me, but what should I do now?"

"Should I seek justice for my father and mother?"

Qingshui shook his head noncommittally, then suddenly shouted sternly, "Naruto, tell me, what do you desire most right now!"

Naruto was startled by Aoshui's tone, and a vivid memory flashed through his mind.

Without exception, they were all about Qingshui...

The day that changed his life began with the immense power of Qingshui…

Although Naruto didn't know how valuable Aozuki's mastery of all chakra natures, transformations, and various bloodline limits in the ninja world was...

However, Naruto knew that the incredulous expression on his father Minato Namikaze's face when he saw this scene showed that even a Hokage couldn't do it and was shocked by it.

"I want to be as strong as you, Brother Qingshui!" Naruto took a deep breath and answered Qingshui in this way.

"it is good."
