The two shadow clones beside Naruto picked up the two pieces of chalk that had fallen on the desk and narrowed their eyes.

"Kid, you're starting to show some promise. I'll lend you a bit of my power!"

Nine-Tails laughed loudly: "Throw it back!"

A wisp of chakra wrapped around the wrists of the two shadow clones. Naruto flicked his wrist, and the two chalk stubs shot out like sharp kunai, piercing through the blackboard in front of him and disappearing into the wall!

The ninja academy teachers stared in disbelief at the scene, a chill running down their spines as they turned to look at the hole embedded in the blackboard.

How can this be called the Three Bodies Technique?

It's clearly the Shadow Clone Technique! And the chalk-throwing technique... it's clearly using a chakra-binding method...

What exactly happened?

The silence at that moment was far more deafening than any burst of laughter.

Naruto turned his head and met Sakura's gaze, which was filled with deep shock.

After a one-second pause.

"boring…"

Naruto took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "I used to be so boring..."

Qingshui watched this scene with a smile.

Chapter 282 Naruto: So this is what it means to be admired by others.

Such admiration is not something to get excited about...

Inside the ninja academy classroom.

Naruto glanced around at the silent crowd, noticing the surprised and uncertain expressions on his classmates' faces, and gave a disdainful sneer.

Sakura, who used to haunt Naruto's dreams, had done countless silly, boastful, and attention-grabbing things, all just to get this girl to think highly of him...

Sakura, however, could only frown in disgust, muttering things like "fox spirit," "orphan," and "freak," before turning to look at Sasuke, who was the center of attention, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Often at this moment, Naruto looks at Sakura, Sakura looks at Sasuke, and Sasuke stares at Naruto, forming a perfect triangular loop.

And today, after Naruto demonstrated the Shadow Clone Technique and the skill of imbuing projectiles with chakra…

Sakura, who was shocked, finally looked Naruto in the eye.

Sakura was surprised to discover that the orphaned fox spirit she had always thought was unsophisticated actually seemed to be just as handsome as Sasuke after he changed into a clean and tidy set of clothes, washed his hair, and shaved off his strange beard.

A strange glint appeared in her eyes…

This is exactly what Naruto used to long for but could never achieve!

But when Naruto saw the strange light in Sakura's eyes, his heart only stirred slightly, without any joy, pride, or happiness welling up within him...

There was even a hint of disappointment.

It turns out, getting Sakura's attention isn't as pleasant as I'd imagined...

It's pretty boring and dull.

I really don't understand why I was so obsessed with getting Sakura to see me, and with getting the approval of those classmates and teachers who were so shocked by the shadow clones and the fox's chakra...

Life should seem to have higher aspirations.

If we always indulge in such low-level interests, how can we live up to Brother Qingshui's earnest teachings?

Naruto strode out of the classroom, showing no attachment whatsoever to the awe-inspiring gazes of the others.

now.

Naruto savored this conflicted feeling, and a vague understanding dawned on him. He felt as if the shackles on his body had suddenly broken, and the sense of freedom brought by the relaxation of his mind brought him an increasingly intense joy.

"Brother Qingshui, did I do the right thing just now?"

In a small forest in Konoha, Naruto gazed at the azure sky, his clear eyes reflecting the heavens, and said somewhat nervously to Aokiji:

"I think I understand now... Brother Qingshui!"

"I do have advantages that others don't have... I have Brother Qingshui to teach me, and a stinky fox to accompany me in cultivation. I don't need anyone else's approval at all!"

Naruto slowly clenched his fists and exhaled a long breath:

"Since they look down on me, then I don't need to look up to them either!"

"I only need to care about the people who are good to me. Why should I seek other people's approval when I'm being bullied?"

Nine-Tails chuckled at this moment, adding sarcastically, "Because you like to have your left cheek slapped, and then offer your right cheek to be slapped..."

"The little rascal always has some special hobbies, and I can understand that."

Naruto, who was still in the enlightenment stage, instantly broke free from his state of profound life awakening and turned into a red-hot man!

"You stinky fox, what are you yelling about here?"

Naruto pointed angrily at Kurama: "Am I wrong about something I said?"

Nine-Tailed Fox first looked at Qing Shui and found that Qing Shui did not react to its sharp comments and even smiled kindly at it, which immediately put its mind at ease.

During these past few days of cultivation...

Qingshui's teaching can be described as "teaching without discrimination, speaking freely and without reservation"...

Qing Shui did not discriminate against the Nine-Tailed Fox just because it was a fox spirit or not in human form.

Just like Naruto, Aoshui patiently explained any training-related questions Kurama (the Nine-Tails) raised.

Having longed for this kind of teaching for nearly a hundred years, the Nine-Tails, under the meticulous guidance of Aokiji, explained various ninjutsu techniques, allowing the fox to quickly master the various formulas and learn with great enjoyment…

Qingshui recounted many details of the release of ninjutsu, which made Kurama sigh with admiration—there are just too many intricacies involved!

No wonder it couldn't come up with a single ninjutsu when it tried to figure it out on its own...

And in this process.

Nine-Tails also discovered the uniqueness of the blue water.

This man possesses terrifying strength surpassing even the Ten-Tails and the Sage of Six Paths, yet he patiently teaches Naruto even the most trivial basic techniques like chakra gathering…

This also includes the fox that attacked Qingshui.

The Nine-Tails couldn't understand why Qing Shui would condescend to enter Naruto's body and patiently teach it and Naruto without asking for anything in return...

It's as if a traveler, on his journey, came across an interesting but soon-to-wither flower, and simply watered and pruned it out of interest.

I have no demands, it's just something I enjoy.

Whether considering malicious intent or the vast difference in power between the two sides, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) didn't believe that Qing Shui (the Blue Water) had any designs on it or Naruto; after all, the gap in strength was simply too great…

In Kurama's mind, if what Qing Shui wanted was its chakra, then Kurama would have been completely absorbed long ago and would be utterly dead...

So, is Qingshui really just a teacher who fell from the sky out of interest?

And Nine-Tails' feeling wasn't wrong...

Aokiji truly didn't need the chakra from Kurama and Naruto. Their chakra, imbued with otherworldly energy, was of no value to Aokiji; it was merely a burden when he traveled back to his original timeline.

Extradimensional chakra is something you wouldn't even give to a dog...

As the vessel for the eye technique "Brahma-sama: Free Heaven", Aoshui simply hopes that Kurama and Naruto will become stronger, and then, along the way, defy their original fate and forge a unique path.

"I just can't stand one kid who was thinking of playing silly pranks and trying to get attention just a few days ago, but after learning a shadow clone technique, he's acting like an old man contemplating life..."

Seeing Qing Shui's smiling face, Nine-Tailed Fox twitched its fox tail, narrowed its eyes, and increased its power: "That's enough!"

"If you ask me, you'll start thinking about that pink-haired girl again in a couple of days, and you'll be itching to figure out how to get her attention and make her excited about the few tricks of ninjutsu you've learned..."

"A clumsy attempt at conquest, sigh..."

Nine-Tails shook his head: "Go and kill time and comprehend these useless things. I have already learned not only Shadow Clone Technique from Lord Qing Shui, but I am also about to master the improved Yang Release: Simplified Wood Release Clone Technique!"

"What? You stinky fox, how did you learn so fast!"

Naruto initially dismissed Kurama's attacks, since he was no longer relevant to Sakura, and even Kurama's sarcastic remarks were completely off-target.

But upon hearing that Kurama had learned faster than him, Naruto instantly felt a chill run down his spine...

No, this won't do!

"Haha, you idiot, isn't it normal that I learn faster than you?"

Nine-Tailed Fox formed a hand seal and quickly summoned several lifelike fox clones. The foxes and dozens of tails swayed wildly, full of mockery and ostentation.

Naruto stared intently, and even his breathing became difficult...

hateful!

The Nine-Tails' clones were actually more lifelike than his shadow clones...

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Naruto crouched on the ground, clutching his head and howling, "No way! I'm going to master a clone technique even more powerful than yours! Just you wait, you stinky fox!"

Nine-Tails laughed loudly: "Serves you right for mocking me the other day, you brat! This is what happens when you laugh at Lord Kurama!"

The atmosphere became quite cheerful, and even Qing Shui smiled.

Kurama and Naruto, both latecomers to learning ninjutsu, encountered certain obstacles when they first started learning—and this was part of the Blue Water Plan.

Two greenhorns on their learning journey, yet both possessing a certain talent, and both wanting to show off their intelligence in front of Qingshui…

Therefore, by slightly increasing the difficulty, Kurama and Naruto will communicate as classmates in private and further develop a good relationship.

Naruto and Kurama (the Nine-Tails) are ultimately a match made in heaven…

Furthermore, for Qing Shui, the complementarity between the two can produce a synergistic effect, which greatly benefits the counter-rewards Qing Shui receives…

Through Qing Shui's guidance, the two broke free from their original destiny and embarked on a strange relationship—you can be good to me, but you can't be better to me than our classic brotherhood!

The two, one human and one fox, would discuss and exchange ideas about the spells Qing Shui had set up until dawn, and they would also grit their teeth in frustration because each other was progressing too quickly.

But no matter what, it's rolled up now...

As long as they can quickly improve their own strength, it will be in Qingshui's best interest.

“Naruto, the weak are limited by their talents and have no choice but to depend on the group... while talented individuals may also be trapped in their natural interpersonal relationships, binding their hands and feet with emotions.”

Qingshui smiled as he watched Naruto and Kurama playfully fighting, and slowly began to speak:
