Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

After all, his relationship with Naruto wasn't that good.

"That kid's strength is increasing quite quickly, but he has too many attack methods."

Although Naruto is only seven years old, his strength has already reached the Chunin level.

Whether it's hand-to-hand combat, sword techniques, demonic arts, or even ninjutsu training, progress is being made.

It can be said that Naruto is now an all-around, all-around warrior.

It's often said that you shouldn't try to do too much at once; it's best to focus on mastering a few key areas.

Both the third and fourth generations have their own areas of expertise.

Minato, for example, was skilled in unseal ninjutsu and the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he didn't have enough chakra, and he even had to resort to Sage Mode.

Or perhaps the renowned powerhouse of the ninja world, the Third Raikage, whose mastery of ninjutsu combined with lightning release made him capable of close combat with tailed beasts, though he was not as skilled in ninjutsu as the Third and Fourth Raikage.

Strong characters throughout history have generally possessed a particularly outstanding skill, but so far, Naruto has not yet demonstrated a single outstanding skill.

Of course, this rule does not apply to Aizen.

Aizen possesses terrifying spiritual pressure, enabling him to unleash the full potential of Kyoka Suigetsu.

Rather than saying that Kyoka Suigetsu is the most powerful illusion Zanpakuto, it would be more accurate to say that Aizen made Kyoka Suigetsu what it is.

But aside from Kyoka Suigetsu, Aizen's other abilities are also far superior to those of a captain.

Instant-cast Kido without incantation, top-tier hand-to-hand combat and slashing techniques.

He is top-notch in every field.

Even without Kyoka Suigetsu, he could still overturn Soul Society.

This is also Naruto's goal.

To achieve true omnipotence and crush everyone else.

Chapter 40: The Impending Cleansing and Hinata's Change

The Hokage's office.

The third generation turned their gaze away from the crystal ball.

"Naruto's bloodline limit has been developed well, and it seems to have great potential."

“Hiruzen, you really should have handed Naruto over to Root. I would have systematically developed his bloodline limit. This bloodline limit is not simple. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, we can mass-produce it,” Danzo said, frowning.

“Naruto is Minato’s only son,” the Third Hokage said, dissatisfied.

"So what? You've already let Minato down." Danzo scoffed disdainfully.

"No, it was all your doing." When the topic of Minato came up, the Third Hokage said with displeasure, "If you hadn't rashly spread rumors back then, Naruto wouldn't have grown up under such malice. If he had grown up with bonds as I planned, and had a happy childhood, perhaps he would have fully inherited the Will of Fire by now and become a reliable ninja."

The Third Hokage would be filled with rage at the mere mention of Minato.

He originally intended to mold Naruto into the son of a hero, but unexpected events occurred along the way.

"Tch, you didn't stop the rumors back then either, you just condoned what I did, and now you regret it and blame everything on me. Hiruzen, you're such an irresponsible Hokage." Danzo also got angry and said sarcastically.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." The Third Hokage ended the topic of Minato and took a deep drag on his pipe.

It's as if all worries can drift away with the smoke rings.

The office then fell silent.

After a long silence, Danzo finally spoke:

"Is everything ready over there?"

"Hmm." The Third Hokage responded sullenly, looking out the window. Under the dark shadows of Konoha, ninjas often moved through the streets.

A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes as he murmured, "It's come to this."

"Stop your mercy, Hiruzen. Traitors deserve their fate. All we've done is get everything back on track, all for the sake of protecting Konoha." Danzo's tone hardened.

"This is Konoha, which our teacher protects. It will become better with our combined efforts. Since there are bad apples, let's clean them up."

"This was their choice; we had no choice."

Under the cover of night, Danzo and the Third Hokage looked out the window at Konoha, silent, their eyes gradually hardening.

The cleaning will be done soon!

.......

Back home, Naruto removed his weights and quickly cleaned up his tired body.

I lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

A year goes by in the blink of an eye.

Everything is currently on track.

Recalling the past, Naruto's lips curled into a smile.

First, there's the Nine-Tails and Minato inside his body.

Two people who were originally enemies unexpectedly became roommates.

The internet-addicted fox was engrossed in computer games every day, shouting and yelling, which annoyed Minato Namikaze to no end, and he even protested to Naruto countless times.

It can be said that fortunes change, and Minato, who was not interested in the game, was harassed by Kurama in various ways.

Rock Lee's growth over the course of a year was remarkable. Under Naruto's influence and guidance, he was no longer the simple-minded boy he once was; at least he had some brains now.

For Rock Lee, following Naruto was his goal.

In his own words, "I'm not very bright. If I can solve something with my fists, I won't use my brain. Following Naruto will definitely be fine. With Naruto around, I don't need to use my brain."

Sasuke Uchiha's growth is even more obvious. Although he is still arrogant, Naruto can feel Sasuke's recognition and even admiration.

This arrogant guy trains with Naruto every day.

Of course, if Itachi finishes his mission and goes home, Sasuke will not hesitate to skip training and go spend some time alone with his brother.

Sakura Haruno continues to fawn over Naruto, making him quite uncomfortable.

As for Yamanaka Ino, she still likes Sasuke, but she has a carefree personality; she gets what she can and doesn't force things if she can't have it.

The other friends are still the same as before, with no major changes, and their relationship with Naruto is still good.

What surprised Naruto the most was Hinata.

I vaguely remember it was a morning about half a year ago when Naruto was walking down the street, preparing to buy some ingredients.

Having received knowledge about the Grim Reaper's presence in the world, he may not be a master chef, but he has achieved some success in the art of cooking.

Whether it's the fresh, fragrant, spicy flavors of Chinese cuisine or the exquisite plating of Western dishes, they can handle it all with ease.

Every now and then, Naruto would prepare a delicious meal for himself.

In his view, life is already so difficult, and it would be a disservice to himself to not have any sense of ritual.

As he walked, Naruto suddenly heard familiar sounds of fighting and cursing. He followed the sound and found a group of brats bullying a girl.

This made him extremely angry.

He thought the unruly kids would change their ways after he taught them a lesson, but he didn't expect that old habits die hard, so he immediately prepared to take action.

Then, suddenly a figure appeared in front of the brat and punched the wall.

With a loud bang, a deep fist-shaped indentation appeared on the wall.

Seeing this, Naruto hid back in his hiding place and watched quietly.

After the mysterious figure appeared, the children all fell silent, trembling with fear.

"Are you bullying people again?" A familiar, clear female voice rang out, and the mysterious figure turned to look at the unruly child.

At that moment, Naruto saw her face clearly.

That was Hinata Hyuga?!

Is it that timid little girl?

"Hey, you guys." At this moment, Hinata was completely contrary to the shy and cute image in Naruto's mind. Her eyes had turned into eerie Byakugan, with veins bulging around her eyes, adding to her terrifying appearance.

Hinata shielded the bullied girl behind her, cornered the brats, braced herself against the wall, and glared at the group of brats with a murderous look.

“If I see you bullying others again, this punch will be on your head.”

The mischievous children were immediately terrified and ran away in a panic.

"Sister, you're so cool!" The girl being protected by Hinata looked at her with admiration.

Hinata turned around, revealing a gentle smile like Naruto's, and gently rubbed the girl's head: "Are you alright?"

"Mmm, I'm fine. Sister, why don't you join our Five Elements Society? You can be the big sister, okay?" The girl hugged Hinata with admiration, her eyes shining.

"So that pushover has changed." Naruto withdrew his gaze and chuckled to himself.

It turns out that everyone is working hard and getting better.

“Everyone born into this world is constantly changing, and only by continuously improving can we adapt to it,” he said to himself, a smile appearing on his lips.

He added in his mind, "But I will transcend this world."

Hinata's change made Naruto very happy, which meant that she was no longer a pushover.

In the days that followed, Naruto noticed that Hinata always appeared gentle and slightly shy during school hours.

But they are not afraid of communication; on the contrary, they are happy to listen and share, just like themselves.

However, after school, she would help those in need with her gentle fists.

In just a few months, Hinata won over all the unruly kids and became their big sister.

Chapter 41 Hinata and Neji

Even if the memories are retrieved.

Naruto's mind would still conjure up two completely different images of Hinata.

He couldn't help but chuckle.
