Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Qing Shui nodded knowingly: "Then, I will teach you how to become stronger."

"Naruto, you must remember that neither I nor anyone else should interfere with your life. What you firmly pursue must be what your heart truly desires, not what others want you to achieve..."

"You need to listen to my opinions and views critically, rather than believing them without having thought about them yourself."

Naruto nodded in understanding.

But in his little mind, he was already somewhat dissatisfied with Qing Shui's words...

Brother Qingshui, do you feel like you don't trust him enough?

how could be!

If it weren't for Qing Shui's appearance, he would still be immersed in the anxiety of perhaps being the reincarnation of a fox demon, let alone be able to see his father and mother or learn the dark truth about the village...

They're still foolishly thinking of becoming some damn Hokage!

Others may not believe it.

But we must believe in Brother Qingshui!

"Naruto, the first step in your training begins with you gathering chakra. I will gradually correct the deficiencies in your basic skills as a ninja."

Qingshui waved his hand, and the Nine-Tails followed closely behind, lying down beside Qingshui, its narrow fox eyes scrutinizing Naruto in front of it.

Naruto's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Nine-Tails' terrifying size.

It was a combination of fear of the Nine-Tails and a severe lack of confidence in his own cultivation abilities...

He can't even refine chakra properly!

If Aokiji knew how slow he was, would he still patiently teach him? Although Naruto felt that Aokiji, as his friend, would never abandon him over such a small matter, it was still incredibly embarrassing…

Naruto didn't want to see disappointment in Aoshizu's eyes.

Naruto tried his best to recall the details of chakra refining he had been taught by his teachers at the Ninja Academy while he was fast asleep, and he worked hard to do it well…

Chakra surged forth!

"Well done, Naruto!"

Qingshui praised him loudly and without reservation: "You are undoubtedly a genius!"

Naruto was stunned.

Feeling the chakra being extracted so easily, Naruto unconsciously grinned, looking a little silly, in a daze.

“Naruto, your mother was a ninja of the Uzumaki clan, skilled in advanced sealing techniques and chakra control... As her son, you possess the pure bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and have inherited her talents.”

Qing Shui stroked the Nine-Tailed Fox's soft fur: "The reason you had difficulty cultivating chakra before was because you had this big fox inside you, which would occasionally cause you some trouble."

"Now that I'm here, no mischievous fox will bother you."

Naruto jumped in front of Kurama.

"Huh? Big fox, why did you interfere with me before!"

Naruto, who was initially afraid of the Nine-Tails, saw how obedient the fox was in Aozuki's hands, and his fear vanished. He was now willing to question the enormous fox demon.

With Qing Shui by his side, Kurama initially intended to remain silent, but seeing Naruto's arrogant and aggressive demeanor, he couldn't resist and exhaled two long puffs of white breath from his nostrils:

"Boy, you've imprisoned me inside your body, so why should I cooperate with your cultivation?"

After speaking, the Nine-Tailed Fox cautiously felt the pressure of Qing Shui's large hand rubbing against its neck...

Great, nothing has changed!

This shows that although Qing Shui wanted to teach this brat, he wasn't spoiling him without restraint...

This adorable fox actually holds a certain status!

At least, exchanging a few words with Naruto won't trigger Aozumi's iron fist...

"Eh?"

Naruto was momentarily stunned, then realized the blind spot in the situation—what the big fox said seemed to make a lot of sense…

"Alright, now that you two are one, you should move forward together."

Qing Shui coughed lightly:

"Naruto, while you have talent, some details of your chakra gathering are still not perfect. Your coordination and integration of mental and physical power are not yet harmonious and unified enough, which will affect the quality and extraction rate of your chakra..."

"Make eye contact with me and feel the mobilization."

Naruto and Aokiji locked eyes. There seemed to be an invisible magic in Aokiji's crimson eyes, making Naruto feel as if his soul had left his body. He watched as Aokiji manipulated his body, gathering chakra with the utmost precision.

During this process, Naruto could also sense the subtle feedback from his body…

The Sharingan teaching method was first used on Naruto.

After being instructed by Aokiji, Naruto, who had experienced the fulfillment and satisfaction of training for the first time, gathered chakra again and again, constantly enjoying the joy of progress.

This is the benefit of having a strong person to guide you.

You won't go astray; as long as you put in the effort, you'll be rewarded...

Naruto was deeply engrossed in his training, focusing intently on Qing Shui's techniques. Fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, but he remained completely unaware of it.

And the chakra he refined became increasingly pure and of higher quality…

The Nine-Tailed Fox, its tail drooping, watched this scene and a thought struck it.

Once, an old man taught it the same knowledge, but the Nine-Tails didn't listen properly back then... On the contrary, the One-Tails and Eight-Tails listened a little and learned some of the uses of sealing techniques.

Sometimes, even the Nine-Tailed Fox thinks about it.

If it had studied and trained properly back then, wouldn't it have been less helplessly defeated when it encountered that damned Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju?

"What, you want to learn too, Nine-Tails..."

Qing Shui chuckled as he looked at the Nine-Tails, whose eyes were darting around, and said softly, "Your use of your chakra is too one-dimensional; you haven't been able to unleash its full potential."

"If you have the will, I can teach you... Although you, the fox, tried to attack me the first time we met, it is a wonderful fate that we have met here."

Qing Shui smiled at Kurama: "Well, call me Master, and I'll treat you the same way I treated Naruto..."

The nine-tailed fox's long, slender ears twitched.

It didn't believe that someone like Qing Shui would lie or deceive it...

In other words, does Qingshui really intend to teach it?

At this moment, Naruto, who had heard this, looked at Kurama, who seemed hesitant, with considerable displeasure and shouted, "Brother Qingshui, don't teach this fox, just teach me!"

"Master! Please teach me the method of cultivation!" The Nine-Tails glared fiercely at Naruto, then turned to Qing Shui with utmost respect and said.

Unlike the brat Naruto…

The old and steadfast Nine-Tailed Fox must firmly grasp this immense wealth and opportunity!

Chapter 281 The Human and Fox Intensify Their Cultivation, Facing Malice

To the boring Naruto!

"So that's how ninjutsu works..."

Nine-Tailed Fox listened intently to Qing Shui's explanation, nodded in sudden understanding, and unconsciously clapped its two paws together, as if applauding...

It wasn't a show to curry favor with Qingshui.

Rather, Kurama genuinely wanted to applaud Aoshui's excellent ninjutsu lesson from the bottom of his heart!

Since being insulted and sealed by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, Kurama realized that its brute strength, which had dominated for a thousand years, was outdated. It could no longer rely on its chakra reserves to overcome all techniques and live freely as a wild fox...

In order to regain its freedom, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) underwent profound reflection within the bodies of its successive Jinchuriki.

It needs to improve too!

The suppression brought by its size is nothing compared to the suppression of the True Several Thousand Hands and the Complete Susanoo... especially that damned Buddha, who pressed down on its head with one hand, just like grabbing a chick!

The Tailed Beast chakra's invasion of will is shattered at the slightest touch before the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan...

While the Tailed Beast Ball appears to be incredibly powerful, its excessively long wind-up renders it ineffective against highly mobile, elite ninjas.

Having a powerful chakra reserve but lacking suitable ninjutsu is like a samurai without armor and a blade, forced to fight only by brute force.

And then there's that sealing technique that it loathes so much, which seems to be its natural counter!

If we want to deal with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, these are weaknesses that we must find a way to address...

But here's the thing.

There was once a learning opportunity—the chance to listen to lectures under the Sage of Six Paths—but the nine-tailed fox, who was still a little fox at the time, missed it…

When the Nine-Tails entered Mito Uzumaki's body and was bound hand and foot, it realized how precious learning was!

Without access to outside intelligence and resources, and without teachers and teaching materials to guide them…

The Nine-Tails could only speculate in its own imagination, without any basis, about the systematic ninjutsu that ninjas had cultivated for thousands of years, trying to figure out the secrets behind it.

It's obvious that Kurama failed...

The ninjutsu widely used in the ninja world are the most efficient techniques, selected through a millennium of mutual slaughter and war, and honed by human lives…

It's not something a fox can imitate in a short time by working in isolation.

People...

No, this fox...

We often fail to cherish what we have when it's easy to obtain, only to regret our lack of focus when it's too late...

But after encountering Qingshui.

That's when the situation started to reverse.

When Ao-Sui entered Naruto's body, Kurama, being a native inhabitant, launched an attack on Ao-Sui without hesitation...

The result was disastrous.

Two sharp slaps from Qing Shui left the ordinary yet confident fox completely disoriented, almost shattering its very essence.

After calming down a bit, Kurama sensed Aoshui's chakra and aura, and the entire fox instantly bristled from the inside out!

Nine-Tails' first reaction was that Aokiji was Ten-Tails...
