Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

"Let's begin today's lesson." Aizen waved his right hand.

Several books suddenly appeared in front of Naruto.

These are all high school textbooks that Aizen collected from the modern world, covering subjects such as Chinese, mathematics, English, psychology, and sociology.

He wanted Naruto to receive an education from an advanced society and broaden his thinking.

of course.

Naruto learned everything on his own; Aizen didn't have the time or inclination to provide one-on-one instruction.

He casually picked up a book and started reading, a smile playing on his lips.

Although humans are weak, their wisdom is not to be underestimated.

So whenever he had time, Aizen would read books in the sealed space.

Naruto didn't touch the textbook on the table, looking somewhat hesitant.

After a moment, as if he had made a decision, he bowed ninety degrees to Aizen and shouted, "Mr. Aizen, please guide me on how to become stronger."

"Get stronger?" Aizen put down his book, his expression mocking.

Why do you want to become stronger?

"Because I want to have the ability to control my own destiny, I don't want to be looked at like that anymore, I want to have the power to shatter everything, and I want to change everyone's opinion of me," Naruto answered without hesitation.

"Is that all?" Aizen's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Do other people's opinions really matter that much to you?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto fell into deep thought.

Several fragments flashed through my mind.

The bullying by children, the curses of the villagers, and the hypocritical smiles of three generations.

Is the approval of others really that important to me?

I used to be subjected to a lot of insults, but back then I thought that as long as I became Hokage, I would gain everyone's recognition.

Therefore, I must keep striving and do my best.

But looking back now, I realize how ridiculous I was.

Konoha wants to take control of itself.

What are they to each other?

In reality, they never considered themselves part of the group.

Naruto clenched his fists, his eyes filled with rage.

He raised his head, his eyes resolute.

"I want to have the power to break everything. I want Konoha, no, the entire ninja world, to respect me, and even fear me."

"Afraid? It's still not enough, but at least it's getting interesting. In that case, I'll lend you a hand." Aizen stood up, his tall figure exuding a tremendous sense of oppression.

Naruto felt his breath catch in his throat, and the terrifying pressure made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Is that all?" Aizen said coldly, taking off his glasses to reveal sharp eyes. In that instant, his refined demeanor vanished, replaced by arrogance and conceit.

This can be said to be the first time in Aizen's career that his true self has been exposed.

Naruto's pupils dilated, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"The world I live in is different from the ninja world. We Shinigami are spirits, not human bodies."

"Spiritual pressure is a unique power system in our world. The density of a person's soul is called spiritual pressure, and the greater the density, the greater the power."

“Every rūon in Soul Society possesses spiritual pressure, and some exceptionally talented individuals can awaken their Zanpakutō and possess their own unique Shikai.”

"You are human, so you shouldn't have spiritual pressure."

"So if you try to force yourself to awaken your spiritual pressure, there will be a lot of unknowns."

"To gain power, one must be prepared to die." The entire sealed space trembled, and then an inconspicuous katana appeared in front of Naruto.

"If you are prepared to die, then pick up this knife."

Aizen stood with his hands behind his back and said coldly.

The more Aizen understood this space, the more wary he became.

In this space, it seems that I can materialize all my abilities and items for Naruto.

He didn't know which supreme being created this space.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that this space wants to become Naruto's teacher?

With this conjecture, Aizen wanted to verify whether Naruto in reality could obtain equivalent power and become a Shinigami.

It even combines the powers of the Grim Reaper and the ninja.

If successful... Naruto might pave a new path.

Aizen's eyes suddenly turned fiery.

In pursuit of a higher level, he did not hesitate to use his colleagues' bodies for Hollowfication experiments. In the Soul Society, this action was undoubtedly like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Although Aizen was confident and arrogant, there were indeed beings in Soul Society that he feared.

Captain-Commander of the Death Squad, the strongest Death Squad, Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

But confident in himself, he viewed everything as a chess piece, strategizing as if he were playing a game of chess.

The slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.

For him, Naruto will undoubtedly be a major variable.

In his line of sight, Naruto reached out without hesitation and gripped his Zanpakuto tightly.

There was no boiling or vibrating sensation of pain or force, only a refreshing feeling.

Naruto discovered that he seemed to have gained a strange power within him.

Although extremely rare, it does exist.

Successful.

Aizen's pupils dilated, his heart filled with shock.

Naruto Uzumaki's entire body was filled with spiritual pressure flowing through his spiritual energy channels.

Spiritual energy channels are tangible forms of spiritual energy, primarily used for exploration. Only high-ranking Death Gods can see spiritual energy channels; a Death God's spiritual energy channel is red, while a human's is white.

But Naruto's spiritual energy network is actually...

Red and white?!

Chapter 5 Control of Spiritual Pressure

"How strange? Why does Aizen-san look so surprised?" Naruto woke up groggily the next morning, scratching his head in confusion.

In the past, Aizen had always presented a refined and confident demeanor, as if nothing could affect his mood.

But just yesterday, Naruto saw disbelief on Aizen's face.

Is awakening spiritual pressure something rare?

Naruto didn't understand Aizen's shock, and at the time he even asked Aizen for the secret to controlling spiritual pressure.

Aizen dismissed him with a single sentence: "First, familiarize yourself with the spiritual pressure within your body."

When Naruto left the sealed space, he found a plain black katana on his bed.

"How did a sword suddenly appear out of nowhere?" Naruto gripped the katana.

That feeling of being connected heart to heart startled him.

The knife seems to be alive?!

"This is your Zanpakuto." Aizen's slightly complicated voice echoed in his mind.

"A Zanpakuto?" Naruto looked confused. "Aizen-san, how do I use it?"

He hurriedly asked in his mind, but no matter how many times he asked, Aizen did not reply.

Naruto had no choice but to hide the katana under the bed.

In Konoha, only ninjas are allowed to carry weapons without permission, let alone someone as sensitive as the Nine-Tailed Fox.

If discovered, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

After a quick wash, Naruto began to try to sense the spiritual pressure within his body.

As Aizen said, spiritual pressure is energy originating from the soul, and after awakening spiritual pressure, one should be able to feel the spiritual pressure flowing within one's body.

Naruto sat cross-legged and quietly absorbed the sensations.

However, less than five minutes later, he couldn't help but scratch his itchy chin, open his eyes, and fidget with himself.

He sighed and closed his eyes again.

Judging from how restless they are, they won't be able to stop anytime soon.

"Spiritual pressure originates from the soul. It is colorless, odorless, and invisible, but it certainly exists. Calm your mind and clear away all distractions so that you can sense spiritual pressure." Aizen's helpless voice echoed in his mind.

Don't be fooled by Naruto's mature demeanor now; at heart, he's still a restless child.

With Aizen's guidance, Naruto calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and began to meditate as Aizen instructed.

At first, he was still a little agitated, but as time went by, Naruto's breathing gradually became calmer, and his whole state became more relaxed.

The sun was high in the sky, and birds were chirping outside the window, but Naruto remained sitting cross-legged on the bed, motionless.

He seemed to have entered a mysterious realm.

He can sense and even control his spiritual pressure.

Under Naruto's control, spiritual pressure spread outwards like a large net, from the entire house to the surrounding environment.

Everything seemed to be under his control.

He could clearly hear his own breathing, the crisp chirping of birds outside the window, and even the chakra hidden in the shadows.

The different colors of chakra outline the silhouettes of the ANBU ninjas.
