Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

Unfortunately.

All the townspeople of Nightwish have been murdered.

The only woman who survived the abuse also chose to commit suicide.

For Class 7, the mission was accomplished.

But we still lost.

The atmosphere was heavy on the way back.

Even Naruto stopped smiling.

"You did a good job on this request," Kakashi broke the silence first.

"First, you did a great job in intelligence gathering and reconnaissance. You didn't alert the enemy and you got the intelligence you wanted."

"Although there were some minor issues later on, they don't detract from the overall excellence. You did a fantastic job, and you don't look like ninjas taking on this kind of mission for the first time."

However, Kakashi's praise did not lift the team's spirits in the slightest.

"Remember, you have done what you were supposed to do and fulfilled the mandate well."

"This world is full of unknowns that we can't control. We are ninjas, and we can't let our emotions get the better of us because of a mission. We shouldn't let it affect our judgment," Kakashi said in a low voice.

But he couldn't help but think of Konoha's former top fighter, who was also his father, Konoha's White Fang.

His expression became somewhat dazed, and his tone was tinged with regret.

For Class 7, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day at noon, they returned to the village. Kakashi gave them a day off, and they went home to find their own families...

.......

Inside the Hokage's office.

Kakashi will report on everything that happened.

The Third Hokage, smiling, puffed on his pipe and waited for Kakashi to finish his report before speaking:

"Hmm, it seems that Naruto and the others adapt well, which puts my mind at ease."

"Kakashi, what do you think of Naruto's performance? Was there anything unusual?"

"If anything is amiss... he was quite affected when he killed the person, but he was fine after adjusting himself. He performed very well throughout the mission, and his tactical deployment and intelligence gathering were impressive. He has great potential."

"What about their mental state?"

"Nothing has changed. He was even quite concerned about his teammates before the blood was drawn."

"Really? Naruto has a gentle personality just like Minato," the Third Hokage remarked, rising to walk to the window and gazing at the peaceful and serene Konoha.

"I'm entrusting Naruto's growth to you, Kakashi."

"This is not a Hokage's request, but an old man's request."

.......

Naruto's home.

Naruto remained serious, but he wasn't down because of the request from Nightwish Town.

"If a soul that cultivates chakra can become intangible, then what about the soul of an ordinary person?"

He had been thinking about this problem.

Kakashi was present when the previous request was made, so he didn't dare to recklessly inject his spiritual pressure into those souls, and in the end, he could only watch the souls disappear into thin air.

"Where do these souls ultimately go? Is there a place like the Soul Society in the Naruto world suitable for souls to reside in?"

He had too many questions in his mind that he wanted to find answers to.

But they are unable to put it into practice or find the answers.

All of this is because of... Konoha.

"Konoha is restricting me too much!" His eyes gradually turned cold.

"I need to find a way to gain a higher level of trust from Konoha so that I can have a chance to start human experiments," Naruto thought to himself.

From the current perspective, basic experiments can be divided into several categories.

Ordinary souls and chakra souls.

The experiment focused on the changes that might occur in the two types of souls under the injection of spiritual pressure.

Meanwhile, inside the sealed space, Aizen was also talking to himself:

"Naruto is currently facing too many limitations. It would be better to destroy Konoha if things continued like this."

......

After this request, Kakashi gave Team 7 a three-day break.

During this time, Sasuke did not stop training. He still came to the training ground every day to practice hand seals and ninjutsu diligently.

Sakura was still affected; she's been staying home these past few days and has been having nightmares frequently.

Naruto, on the other hand, was completely unaffected, only worrying about how to conduct the experiment.

Only through repeated practice can we break through the existing limitations.

Unfortunately, he was unable to even conduct the experiment.

"I have to find a way to get out of the village again," Naruto thought to himself.

Feeling somewhat defeated, he drifted off to sleep.

Two consecutive days of high-intensity work have taken their toll, even on a body of steel.

When Naruto opened his eyes again, he found himself back in that fantastical palace.

The atmosphere remained one of solitude and desolation, with the exquisite throne placed at the far end of the palace.

“I’m here again, in the space of my Zanpakuto.” Naruto paced back and forth, frowning.

The last time he came to this space, he awakened his Shikai.

This time... could it be Bankai?

I learned this from Aizen.

Shikai is not the full power of a Zanpakuto.

Above the initial release, there is an even more powerful Bankai.

Generally, only Shinigami with captain skills can master Bankai.

After Bankai, a Shinigami's spiritual pressure and fighting power will experience a qualitative leap.

Depending on the individual, the combat power in Bankai state is generally about 5 to 10 times that in Shikai state, which is a terrifying increase.

After Bankai, not only does the Zanpakuto change in appearance, but even the clothing and hairstyle may change.

Changes in ability can be mainly categorized into three situations.

The existing capabilities have been further enhanced.

Acquire new skills.

It transforms into a completely different ability.

Some people may have multiple of the above conditions at the same time.

Naruto once asked Aizen about his Bankai form, but ultimately received no answer.

This also makes him extremely eager to unlock his Bankai.

At that moment, the vision distorted, and a familiar figure in black robes appeared beside the throne, still wearing a hood, making it impossible to see his face.

However, his physique is similar to that of Naruto now.

"It's been a long time, my king," the man in black said respectfully.

"Hello." Naruto was much calmer when he returned to this space. He slowly walked to the side of the man in black and curiously looked at the throne.

There were no gems, no patterns, just simple gray, but it made Naruto want to sit on it.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with the 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'?" the shadowy figure asked respectfully.

Naruto turned his gaze away from the throne.

"Does it have a Bankai?" he asked casually.

"Is that so? So you yearn for the Bankai of Mirror Flower, Water Moon." The shadowy figure trembled, his voice suddenly filled with disappointment: "Bankai is..."

Before he could hear clearly, Naruto felt a wave of dizziness, and the palace in his vision seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

In a hazy vision, he seemed to see the shadowy figure's lips moving as if saying something.

But apart from the lips, it was still impossible to see the black-robed man's face clearly.

When Naruto regained consciousness, he had already returned to reality.

His eyes were filled with confusion as he muttered to himself:

"Am I not yet at the level to access Bankai?"

"This world is seriously affecting my spiritual pressure training."

"But what did he mean? I yearn for the Bankai of Kyoka Suigetsu? Are there other Bankai?"

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Illusory Images and the Sharingan

In the days that followed, Kakashi fell into a state of creative burnout.

Even though he was known as Kakashi the Copy Ninja, there was a time when he died from exhaustion.

Under Naruto's pressure, he continuously taught him all the known wind-style ninjutsu.

Some ninjutsu techniques are useless, while others are extremely powerful.

No matter what kind of ninjutsu it is, Naruto can learn it in a very short time.

Although proficiency and stability may be relatively weak, these can be made up for with further practice.
