Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Naruto instinctively denied Kurama's words, then his face flushed red, and he stammered, unsure what to say: "I just... I just..."

Nine-Tails laughed and tilted his head back disdainfully, saying, "Useless little coward! If I were you, I would kill this old bastard on the spot!"

"With Mr. Qing Shui here and with my chakra, who in this ninja world can stop you?"

The Nine-Tails' voice was extremely seductive; its instinct to bewitch and manipulate emotions was on full display at this moment.

But after mentioning Qingshui.

Naruto, however, abandoned his previous timid and cowardly demeanor and suddenly raised his voice:

"Nine Lama, you're wrong! Brother Qing Shui teaches us to become stronger ourselves, not to relentlessly beg for his power just to vent our emotions!"

"Doesn't Brother Qingshui know the real answer to these things? He knows everything!"

"Compared to Konoha and the Third Hokage's rights and wrongs, the most important thing, I think, is that Brother Qingshui wants me to learn how to think independently!"

Naruto loudly refuted Kurama, shouting for their vindication.

Yes, during her recent training with Qing Shui, Nine-Tails had already revealed her true name...

After all, even a powerful being like Qing Shui revealed its name, so what is a little fox like it?

The constant calling of "Nine-Tails, Nine-Tails" made the Nine-Tails, which had always disdained to reveal its name to others, feel like a wild beast rather than a human like Naruto, and it even started to feel somewhat inferior...

So Kurama deliberately found an opportunity to reveal its name, hoping that Aokiji and Naruto would call it by that name from then on...

The main character is Qing Shui; Naruto is just a side character.

As Naruto refuted Kurama, his emotions surged, and he was also tainted by a trace of Kurama's raging chakra...

Qing Shui raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Alright, Naruto, Kurama..."

After Qingshui spoke.

Naruto and Kurama immediately fell silent. The two, who had just stepped onto the grand stage of voice chat and were ready for a three-hundred-round battle, both looked expectantly at Qing Shui, hoping he would support their opinion...

"Although strength can solve 99% of problems, no matter how powerful you are, there will always be enemies that you cannot defeat directly. At that time, you need to use your brain."

"But using your brain requires regular practice..."

Qingshui said slowly:

"I won't comment on who's right or wrong between Naruto and Kurama... Today, I'm asking you, how can you, without fighting the Third Hokage, and without using my and Kurama's chakra, just use words to temporarily keep this troublesome Hokage away from Naruto and give him a peaceful environment?"

"Nine Lama, do you have a good method?"

The nine-tailed fox showed a hint of embarrassment.

If you were to say that a single Tailed Beast Ball would blast Hiruzen Sarutobi into pieces, Kurama would have absolute confidence in that.

However, if a fox can make Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has been eyeing Naruto since childhood, back down without even lifting a finger, it is beyond the capabilities of a fox.

Naruto, standing to the side, was also deep in thought.

how should I do it?

Is it to reveal the existence of Aokiji and Kurama? Or to directly announce the appearance of Minato Namikaze and Kushina?

Could it be that he was questioning the Third Hokage about his identity as the Fourth Hokage?

Naruto's little brain was working quickly, but every method he came up with was clearly far from what Qing Shui wanted...

"The way to achieve this, you two already have enough information..."

Qing Shui said softly, "Naruto, Kurama, do you remember the Konoha Chronicles you read?"

Naruto and Kurama exchanged a blank look and nodded.

I've seen it.

But so what?

What's recorded there is nothing more than the deeds of the previous Hokage, their signature ninjutsu, and biographical information; there's no crucial intelligence at all…

"Naruto, tell me about the Second Hokage." Qing Shui smiled and said, "I remember you read that book carefully, didn't you?"

Naruto nodded vigorously, thinking hard as he answered, "The Second Hokage's name was Tobirama Senju. He was the First Hokage's younger brother and the Third Hokage's teacher..."

"Known in the ninja world as a master of forbidden techniques, he voluntarily sealed many forbidden techniques for humanitarian reasons at the request of the First Hokage, as a reward for the village's future ninjas who could master forbidden techniques..."

Qingshui nodded and continued, "Okay, besides the official Konoha records, Kurama told you about some of Konoha's history that he knew. Is there anything else about Tobirama Senju?"

"have…"

Naruto quickly replied:

"Kurama said that many of the forbidden techniques created by Tobirama Senju were actually sealed away by the First Hokage, and that his first Jinchuriki, who was also the First Hokage's wife, Mito Uzumaki, was also very opposed to those forbidden techniques..."

"Also, Tobirama Senju really disliked the Uchiha clan and was always trying to find ways to suppress them."

After Naruto finished speaking, he looked to Kurama for help.

Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at him with considerable surprise: "Kid, you have a good memory. You can remember all these fragmented stories I told you so clearly!"

"That's all I know about Tobirama Senju... I remember when I was inside Mito Uzumaki's body, that woman often scolded Tobirama, saying that his forbidden techniques were too immoral and would cause terrifying consequences..."

"Toying with the dead, creating artificial tailed beasts, shifting time and space, imprisoning souls..."

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Even for me, this is the first time I've seen a ninja with such a low moral standard..."

"Luckily, it was Mito Uzumaki who sealed me back then. If that guy had been my jinchūriki, I don't know what he would have done to me!"

Qingshui listened to Kurama's complaints about Senju Tobirama and smiled.

I, Uchiha Aokiji, was once Tobirama Senju's jinchūriki. How come he's doing so well?

It's all because you, Nine-Tails, are not ambitious enough!

"The intelligence we have is sufficient..."

Aokiji looked at Naruto and Kurama: "This information can be used to create a portrait of Tobirama Senju's personality, allowing us to imagine what he did from his perspective..."

"You may not understand yet, so let me demonstrate for you, consider it a lesson—about how to use intelligence to delay an opponent you can't defeat at the moment..."

"I don't use chakra, nor do I know genjutsu. I only use the information that Kurama and Naruto deduced..."

Naruto and Kurama's eyes lit up simultaneously!

Alright, Brother Qingshui and Lord Qingshui are about to start class again! This human and this fox have become addicted to being taught…

It was a particularly unique lesson.

Despite his immense power, Qing Shui didn't use his strength. Instead, he used intelligence to position himself in Naruto's shoes and keep the Third Hokage away.

This is so interesting!

Even Kaguya, who felt indebted to Aoshui and had remained silent since arriving in the other world, secretly pricked up her ears and watched Aoshui's actions intently.

What exactly will Qingshui do?

And at this moment.

The sound of firm, slow knocking continued to echo on Naruto's door.

It was as if the knocking would continue forever if Naruto didn't open the door.

boom.

boom.

boom.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood at the doorway, narrowed his eyes, and clapped his left hand more forcefully, changing from a fist to a palm. His right hand first made a few tactical gestures, then formed hand seals.

He sensed a trace of the Nine-Tails' chakra that was barely perceptible!

In various corners near Naruto's house, elite ANBU members lay in ambush. Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand gesture, they all gathered their chakra and gripped the sealing scrolls in their hands, ready to enter battle at any moment.

According to information provided by Itachi Uchiha and the ninja academy instructors, Naruto used the chakra of a tailed beast and was emotionally unstable!

Therefore, it is highly likely that Naruto was bewitched by Kurama!

If that's the case, Hiruzen Sarutobi must control Naruto and strengthen the seal left by Minato Namikaze!

"These bastards are here to get you, Naruto!"

Kurama coldly said, "Malice, malice from all directions! This Third Hokage brought many ninjas, and each of them is a bit troublesome..."

"Lord Qing Shui, should we prepare for battle? This situation doesn't seem like it can be resolved peacefully! The enemy is hostile..."

Naruto lowered his head in silence.

How chilling... Just because he, the bottom of the class, showed progress at the Ninja Academy, Hiruzen Sarutobi is going to bring so many people, the Third Hokage, to arrest him?

Was it when I gave him his allowance, or when we ate grilled fish together...?

The seemingly kind old man was actually surrounded by countless ninjas, just like he was now, ready to strike at the slightest sign of trouble.

"Naruto, I need to borrow your body, is that alright?" Aokiji asked softly, seemingly unaware that the situation had suddenly deteriorated.

"Yes, of course... but, Brother Qingshui..."

Naruto hesitated before saying, "They've already come to our doorstep. Can we really repel them with just words? Kurama said we're surrounded..."

"Do not worry."

Qing Shui chuckled: "Watch carefully, learn well."

After Naruto gave up his body.

Qingshui, riding Naruto, walked steadily toward the gate and slowly opened it.

What came into view was Hiruzen Sarutobi's benevolent smile, honed to perfection, capable of bewitching Itachi Uchiha to the point of disorientation, and brimming with the Will of Fire.

"Naruto, I've come to see you..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved to Naruto with a smile: "How was it? Did you miss Grandpa Hokage?"

Qing Shui smiled to himself, but didn't say a word. Instead, he went back into the house and sat down at the table.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled.

Naruto didn't say anything? It seems something really has happened!

Hiruzen Sarutobi suppressed his surprise as he looked at Naruto's newly renovated and tidy house, a growing sense of unease creeping over him...

But I still went inside and sat down at the table.
