From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Konoha, a certain refuge.

The frequent roaring sounds had just stopped when the shelter collapsed from the inside.

Naruto collapsed to the ground, and the golden Nine-Tails chakra covering his entire body gradually dissipated.

That was his most powerful trump card, a power that existed within him because of his mother and the Nine-Tails.

In the entire village, only he and his mother could withstand the Nine-Tails' chakra. And when he obtained this power, his father's warnings still echoed in his ears.

"The Nine-Tails' chakra is enormous. Only a portion is sealed within you, but for you, it represents a power far beyond what is typical for someone your age."

"But I will keep the key to the seal for you until you understand how to use this power. Only when you understand the meaning of this power will I give you the key."

Naruto was just a child back then.

It wasn't until he graduated from the Ninja Academy, watched the duel between Obito and his teacher, and went home to ask that question that his father finally handed him the key to the seal.

"Dad, Anthony Davis and Kyle had a match today."

"Kai? What do you want to ask?"

"When I was four, Dad, you mentioned... the meaning of strength. Perhaps... I understand it now."

"Those who possess the spirit of never giving up and the perseverance to surpass ordinary people will have a will that is unimaginable to ordinary people."

"Kai, like his father, trains beyond his limits every day. The reason he can persevere is because he knows what he is persisting in in order to obtain this power."

"Naruto, you should know this..."

"Whether it's Kai, his father Dai, or Xiao Li who graduated in the class before you, the ridicule and misunderstanding they faced while persevering in their training were precisely what they wanted to protect in their hearts."

"Such perseverance is unimaginable, but when the day comes that this strength is truly needed to erupt, everything will become an aid to that spark."

That day, his father gave him the key to the seal.

But it was from that day that he truly began to ponder the meaning of power.

It wasn't until half an hour ago that he truly understood.

Whether it's chakra or domineering aura, gaining superhuman strength through rigorous training isn't about becoming the top student in the ninja academy, graduating early, passing the exams ahead of time, becoming a Chunin or Jonin, and garnering envious and admiring glances...

It is not like the cases teachers have mentioned in the classroom, such as Danzo, who used force to acquire power and used power to fuel his desires.

Anthony Davis... and his father, were ridiculed while diligently practicing, yet they still took it as encouragement and support, even though it was indeed very embarrassing.

But... their will has never changed from the beginning.

Protect this village, protect the people you want to protect, protect the hard-won dawn, protect... justice.

In a daze, even though Naruto was unconscious, a surge of heat arose from his body.

The seeds Kevin brought are now taking root and sprouting within him.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

One by one, figures landed around the collapsed shelter.

Uchiha Shisui, the captain of the Hokage's direct ANBU unit, also looked nervously at the medical team.

"How is it?"

"It's not a big problem, he's just exhausted. After the Nine-Tails' chakra was divided by the master, the ability to burn the body that it used to have disappeared. And Naruto's constitution..."

Before he could finish speaking, another figure appeared beside Naruto.

With her red hair tied in a ponytail, Kushina knelt down, gently stroked Naruto's face, and smiled, "You're great."

Kushina, the head of the medical team, said, "I'm counting on you from now on. Because the Nine-Tails was sealed inside me in the past, its chakra is compatible with Naruto's."

The medical team leader bowed slightly, then waved his hand, and several medical ninjas carried Naruto onto a stretcher and left.

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

Although he threw his comrades aside to fight the enemy and unleashed the Nine-Tails' chakra as a trump card, these two points already demonstrated the determination of this son of the Hokage.

However, if something goes wrong, even according to the village's latest laws, there will still be responsibility for dereliction of duty.

"Clean up the body, seal it up, and send it to the research institute. We must find out why he was resurrected. Also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shisui's Sharingan suddenly turned.

A kaleidoscope appeared, and kunai were thrown out one by one.

"Boom boom boom..."

An immense, domineering aura enveloped the area, blasting apart the collapsed rubble.

A total of eight mechanical beetles were pinned to the ground.

Shisui looked very unwell.

Because of the Observation Haki, the space itself was already rippled.

"If you're an insect, you should have the awareness of an insect."

A sound appeared, and at the same time, streams of barely visible black matter shot out from the spatial passage.

"Bang bang bang..."

The black dot suddenly enlarged after it appeared, and Kushina leaped up, revealing green ribs on Shisui's body.

However, apart from the two of them, the entire ANBU squad that came here was pinned to the ground, their chakra chaotic and unable to move.

Then a figure stepped out from among them, his gaze fixed on Kushina, completely ignoring Shisui.

"The Fourth Hokage's wife, a survivor of the Uzumaki clan. We've analyzed Minato Namikaze, and compared to him, you are the most important person."

Otsutsuki Isshiki stretched out his hand, and a cube appeared directly above Kushina.

"boom!!"

The same golden chakra as Naruto's earlier transformed into the Nine-Tails form, attaching itself to Kushina's body and supporting the cube pressing down from above.

In that instant, even Shisui and Kushina's Observation Haki didn't have time to react.

This incredibly heavy object appeared out of nowhere.

"A tailed beast? But how many pieces can you withstand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another cube appeared instantly.

"ah!!!"

Kushina's entire leg was crushed into the rubble.

At this moment, Shisui threw out a kunai, and after the kunai was knocked away by the opponent, the body behind it appeared and disappeared.

The green chakra solidified and slammed down.

"boom!"

How... is that possible?

Otsutsuki Isshiki simply raised his arm to block the attack.

However, the next moment, under the influence of Observation Haki, an attack was approaching.

"Whoosh."

"boom!"

The rocks exploded.

Shisui looked around, but saw no other enemies.

"Although they are just insects, sometimes the things that insects create can catch the eye of God."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki clenched his fist.

For thousands of years, although he spoke of insects, he had long since become careless.

He was once the pride of the main branch of the Otsutsuki clan, which almost led to his enslavement and death.

Looking at the world's development over thousands of years, insects are merely elevating their own status.

Using the so-called technology that was just emerging in this world, he accomplished many things that were impossible in the past, such as acquiring a portion of the power of the gods.

After obtaining a perfectly compatible body, he released the clones who possessed divine magic, and naturally he had the power to restrain them.

At this moment, Kushina, panting, still managed to speak: "God? I've never seen a god as cowardly as you! Your target is the Nine-Tails, but you only dared to show yourself when Minato was gone."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Shui had the same thought.

The Otsutsuki's first appearance was completely different from the one in this world, and even he was a little nervous at first.

They are called insects, and the other party is a person who has existed for thousands of years. In terms of bloodline, they are the main family of the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of the Ninja Sect.

These connections are so interconnected that Zhishui cannot afford to ignore them.

But as Kushina said, the other party was too afraid of the Fourth Hokage.

"You don't understand..."

Otsutsuki Isshiki looked at Kushina, then suddenly lunged forward.

"After I have truly passed away and the power of God has passed, you will understand that you are ultimately just insects."

"Whoosh!"

"boom!"

In an instant, the cube fell, raising a cloud of dust.

Otsutsuki Isshiki also retreated instantly.

Behind him, the spatial passage opened immediately.

However, a flash of gold streaked past.

"Since you're already here, why not stay?"

"you……!"

Just as Otsutsuki Isshiki was about to say something, crimson lightning instantly spread all around.

A series of intertwined thunderbolts roared and surged directly into the spatial passage behind him.

The essence of space-time ninjutsu is still chakra.

"Click!"

A ripple spread across the surface, and a hint of panic appeared in Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes.

"bright!"

Amidst the shouts, a hand reached out, grabbed him, and prepared to pull him inside.

However, Minato Namikaze was already upon him.

"As the Hokage, how can I let you leave so easily?"

A powerful aura, like stripes, covered Minato Namikaze's arm, and the Rasengan also changed shape at that moment.

"Then let's give it a try!"

Otsutsuki roared, stretched out his hand, and a pupil like the Rinnegan opened in his palm.

In an instant, a tremendous suction force appeared.

But it was immediately suppressed by the crimson lightning.

"ah!!!"

The veins on Isshiki Otsutsuki's forehead bulged as he exerted all his strength to maintain the absorption of chakra in his hand.

However, the impact of those streams of heat directly broke his arm into tiny particles.

"boom!"

A massive explosion erupted, the shockwave sending debris flying and creating a raging storm in its wake.

After a while, the dust settled, and Minato Namikaze looked in the direction where the spatial passage had disappeared, his gaze solemn.

Just as the master said, Haki does suppress chakra, but if the quality of chakra reaches a certain level, the suppressive effect of Haki will be reversed and suppressed.

He was left with half an arm, but the other party still managed to escape.

"Smack."

After the crisp sound, Minato Namikaze felt a burning pain in his back.

Then, scratching his head, he looked behind him and said, "Kushina..."

Kushina snorted, "Seeing your son get beaten so badly and not even helping?"

"I……"

Before Minato could explain, Kushina, who had been married for so many years, spoke up for him: "For the village and for the ninja world, I know. That guy is the so-called 'outerman,' right?"

Kushina sighed, "It's because of Naruto that I lost my temper. I'm sorry..."

Shisui, standing to the side, felt somewhat superfluous.

Fortunately, because of the commotion, the ninjas who were still investigating the explosive tag incident also rushed over.

Guy, Kakashi, and Hiashi were the first to arrive, followed by Nara Shikaku, who coordinated the overall situation after the incident broke out.

As the Hokage's assistant, Nara Shikaku bowed deeply to Kushina upon arrival, explaining that everything was part of his plan and that he understood a mother's feelings.

Kushina sighed, while Minato, who had been so domineering, was now flanking his wife, trying to appease her.

However, somewhere in the commercial street of Konoha Village.

A white figure emerged from the rocks, its gaze fixed on the Konoha ninja who had been manipulated by Danzo.

Mighty?

After the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Konoha has produced another guy who awakened that crimson aura.

……

Three hours ago, on the coastline of the Fire Region.

Mei Terumi and her group, who had set off from Kirigakure, were also attacked shortly after landing.

However, like Minato Namikaze, Mei Terumi was one of the first students to receive her teacher's teachings, and she became a Kage based in Kirigakure. It was almost natural for her to awaken Conqueror's Haki.

Although he wasn't as talented as Minato Namikaze, he quickly ended the battle against the three-man team with the help of Kisame and Juzo Biwa.

The clone died, but the cells were collected and retrieved again.

"Only domineering power can rise above everything else."

Kisame looked enviously at the dissipating crimson lightning, then turned to Juzo Biwa: "Your chakra ninjutsu is meaningless; only Haki can suppress it. But compared to the Mizukage, your Armament Haki is still too low."

Pipa Juzo shook his head slightly: "Master said that if Armament Haki is trained to its limit, it can also produce the effect of Conqueror's Haki."

"However... I'm thinking about the Kage of the other ninja villages right now. We don't need to worry about Konoha, but the Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Kazekage are probably going to be in some trouble."

Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi frowned as well.

Not long after Pakura of Sunagakure took over as Kazekage, neither the Fourth Raikage nor the Third Tsuchikage Onoki had awakened Conqueror's Haki.

These three villages, I'm afraid...

……

On the border of the Land of Hot Water, the Fourth Raikage, whose arm had been severed, was covered in lightning.

However, even with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode at its maximum, it was still suppressed at every turn by an opponent who could absorb ninjutsu and whose physical abilities were equally strong.

Especially the opponent's special abilities.

He attacked by sweeping through space, and with just a short sword, he lost an arm.

"Compare."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Killer Bee, who was already half-transformed into a tailed beast, beside him.

"Running away in the face of battle is the act of a fool!"

The sudden rap, however, did not liven up the atmosphere.

Having spent many years together, Killer Bee could understand what his older brother wanted to say with just a glance.

Yugito, who was also half-tailed beast transformed and had his tail raised for two days, said in a deep voice, "There are no ninjas who run away from Kumogakure."

At this moment, his whole body was tattered and torn, and there was a deep wound on his abdomen that exposed the bone.

Even with the regenerative power of the Two-Tails' chakra, it could only stop the bleeding.

Of the four clones on the other side, one was killed.

But there is still no solution.

"Your fate is sealed; there's no point in struggling."

A little boy reached out his hand, and golden energy gathered in his palm.

The girl next to her also reached out her hand.

The four members of Yunyin immediately tensed up.
