Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

“The use of Kido can be made smoother through chanting, but some powerful Shinigami can release Kido without chanting.”

Under Aizen's tutelage, Naruto finally came into contact with the Kido he had longed for.

However, the beginner level of the Ghost Path he just started learning does not require specific incantations.

Naruto stood straight, one hand outstretched, his fingertips pointing at the boulder.

The spiritual pressure within his body flowed slowly, gathering at his fingertips.

This control over spiritual pressure is so smooth and effortless, unlike the arduous training one would expect from mastering ninjutsu.

"Hado One, Charge!"

A white light appeared from the fingertip, flashed and disappeared, leaving a shallow mark on the rock.

"No one was hurt, but at least we succeeded." Naruto's little face beamed with a smile.

He had lost count of how many times he had tried, but finally he was able to use the basic demonic arts correctly.

"Keep trying until you master it." Naruto's confidence soared.

Having experienced the setback of previous failures in ninjutsu, even the slightest progress in his Kido (demon arts) now gives him immense confidence.

Aizen watched Naruto's progress in training the Kido technique quietly within the sealed space, his eyes flashing incessantly.

Naruto's Shinigami talent is truly astonishing—no, terrifying—that he was able to use Kido to a basic level in such a short time.

For Naruto, the training of Kido, Slash Techniques, and Spiritual Pressure seemed to have no bottlenecks; as long as he continued to practice, he could steadily improve.

It's just like my past self.

Naruto is like the chosen one of the ninja world, possessing a sealed space, receiving help from others, and also having a nine-tailed fox inside him.

If things go as expected, Naruto will still be able to use the Nine-Tails' power in the future. I believe that even without the Shinigami's power, he can still become a powerful figure.

Compared to those incompetent members of the 46th Chamber, Naruto is undoubtedly a king.

He is qualified to be invested in by himself.

Perhaps in the future, he will truly grow to the point where he can enjoy himself to the fullest.

......

Seeing the Kido he had unleashed, Naruto reluctantly withdrew his fingers.

Although the damage from the Kido technique wasn't enough, you have to remember that he only recently started learning Kido.

I believe that with more training, he will be able to fully master the Way of the Demon.

Naruto is very satisfied with his current situation.

They have a nice house, enough supplies, and even a 'friend' like Rock Lee and a wise teacher like Aizen.

Compared to the lonely and desperate self of a few years ago, I am doing so much better now.

Naruto's expression calmed down, and then he revealed a flawless smile.

That's why he absolutely cannot reveal the slightest flaw.

To achieve his own goals, he must present the Naruto Uzumaki that everyone wants to see.

......

Since entering the Ninja Academy, Naruto and Rock Lee have had fewer interactions.

To get off to a good start, Rock Lee deliberately stopped training for the past few days and focused on reviewing what he had learned each day and refining his chakra at home.

Naruto returned to training alone once again.

In addition to training in ninjutsu and chakra, there is also swordsmanship and demonic arts.

The time spent in cultivation is as fleeting as a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

Over the past few days, Naruto has become increasingly adept at practicing Kido and Slash Techniques.

However, chakra cultivation is like being stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to move forward.

At this moment, he is practicing his slashing techniques in the training ground.

He stood motionless in the training ground, holding knives in both hands, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in a profound state of mind.

A gentle breeze wafted by, carrying the scent of fresh grass.

Naruto's presence was faint, as if he had blended into the training ground.

The ninja on surveillance was shaken, and even inadvertently revealed a slight fluctuation of chakra, but quickly returned to normal in an instant.

Naruto, standing in the center, remained motionless, surrounded by spiritual pressure.

As a leaf fell, Naruto suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp.

The Mirror Flower Water Moon held in his hand suddenly turned into a phantom and passed by.

"Click".

Naruto sheathed his sword and let out a long sigh of relief.

The falling leaves split open, perfectly divided into four equal parts.

Just as the leaves were falling, Naruto unleashed four precise and swift strikes.

Naruto has an unimaginable aptitude for sword techniques.

During that year, his slashing skills improved by leaps and bounds.

It is no exaggeration to say that he could kill an adult in an instant.

He simply had never fought a ninja, so he didn't know his true strength.

Besides his swordsmanship, his understanding of the way of the devil is also advancing by leaps and bounds.

His own spiritual pressure is also steadily increasing.

According to Aizen, he already has the level of three seats.

What troubled Naruto the most were chakra training and Shunpo (Flash Step).

To learn the Flash Step, one needs to have excellent physical fitness.

Even if Naruto hadn't stopped training, it would be impossible for him to use Shunpo now.

As Naruto's training intensity increased, his nutritional needs also became higher.

As a result, Naruto's living expenses were insufficient to cover the high cost of food.

Naruto did not seek help from the Third Hokage.

Since the third generation is already quite generous, it's impossible to provide them with more living expenses.

Fortunately, Naruto had read many books, so he found mushrooms, fungus, and even ginseng in the wilderness of Konoha to replenish the huge energy he consumed during his daily training.

"Who?" At that moment, Naruto suddenly heard the sound of a tree branch being broken. His eyes narrowed, and his spiritual pressure poured out as he roared angrily at the source of the sound.

Soon, a boy dressed in white walked out, his body trembling.

Under the pressure of spiritual energy, even his teeth were clattering together.

“This outfit.” Naruto noticed the fan pattern on the boy’s white clothes, which was the symbol of the Uchiha clan.

Naruto withdrew his spiritual pressure, and the latter immediately collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"Why were you peeking?" Naruto asked.

"Peeping? This is a public place, I was just passing by." Uchiha Sasuke got up, still shaken by what he had just witnessed.

The boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him, not only had terrifying swordsmanship, but his overflowing aura and eyes made his body tremble.

I am a proud member of the Uchiha clan, yet I am feeling fear.

Sasuke couldn't bear the pathetic emotions welling up inside him, so he proudly raised his head.

"Hmph, your strength is not bad." After saying this, Sasuke turned his head away, his old face turning red.

This is the first time I've ever received such praise, and I feel unexpectedly embarrassed.

The Uchiha clan was once a powerful clan on par with the Hyuga clan, and the Sharingan was said to be one of the most powerful bloodline limits in Konoha.

However, the Uchiha clan members are very arrogant and difficult to get along with.

This is the information Naruto learned.

"Hello, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I apologize for my rudeness earlier." Naruto introduced himself with a gentle smile.

Chapter Seventeen Uchiha Sasuke

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke felt a little embarrassed after receiving Naruto's apology.

Because he did peek for a little while earlier.

After introducing himself, Sasuke stood there somewhat awkwardly, unsure of what to do or say.

Although he looks rather cold, he is just a little boy full of curiosity.

He grew up under the protection of his parents and older brother, who was a genius who showed extraordinary talent from a young age.

In this environment, Sasuke began various ninja-related training from a young age.

It can be said that he has a significant head start compared to his peers.

Even so, he couldn't withstand Naruto's leaking spiritual pressure.

He was very curious about Naruto, and even felt a little resentful.

He has always believed that he is the most outstanding boy of his age in Konoha.

But now it has been completely outshone.

"How...how can you be so strong?" After hesitating for a moment, he asked hesitantly. After asking, a blush appeared on his face, and he turned his head away awkwardly, not daring to look at Naruto again.

Naruto had overheard the villagers of Konoha gossiping about the Uchiha clan. They said the Uchiha were extremely arrogant, usually ignoring people, and that the Konoha Police Force, to which they belonged, was ruthless, strictly adhering to the law and completely devoid of human compassion.

It can be said that the Uchiha clan has a bad reputation in Konoha, even a poor one.

Sasuke didn't give Naruto the feeling of being unapproachable; instead, he seemed like a proud and arrogant little boy.

This Uchiha seems to be very interested in power.
