Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

As time went by, he saw a more authentic Naruto and the terrifying potential he possessed.

He gradually came to believe that Naruto could free the tailed beasts in the future, and that he would definitely be able to stand in the sky.

Given his arrogant personality, he disdains binding the tailed beasts; he would release all the tailed beasts and might even help them become stronger.

because.

He has been searching for and cultivating strong individuals.

This kind of Naruto is very much to Kurama's liking.

He would be happy to help someone like Naruto.

correct.

It's not a transaction, it's about helping.

"Minato, once Orochimaru completes his research on spiritual pressure, I too will become a Shinigami!" Kurama's eyes were deep, a hint of anticipation for the unknown flashing within them.

"When life advances to a new level, he will see a different view." As he spoke, Kurama's mind drifted to the man who once lived in harmony with the tailed beasts.

Perhaps, when I become a Grim Reaper, I will be able to see him again.

I wonder how he would react then?

I can no longer have any expectations of humanity.

Those naive fantasies have long been worn down by reality.

Thinking of this, Kurama felt an indescribable emotion welling up inside him.

He watched Naruto talking to Orochimaru quietly, his eyes flickering.

At this moment, Naruto and Orochimaru were talking about biology.

Having received modern education, Naruto has a certain understanding of biology. Theories such as cells, body structure, organs, and brain waves have greatly benefited Orochimaru.

The biological knowledge in the ninja world is relatively basic, and Orochimaru explored it all on his own.

Naruto, with his knowledge of the present world, is essentially standing on the shoulders of giants.

From the origin of life to evolution and cell cloning, this systematic knowledge made Orochimaru feel like he had met a kindred spirit.

I felt I had benefited immensely.

The way he looked at Naruto was also full of goodwill.

In his heart, Naruto was already a true friend.

The two chatted for ages.

Just in case, Naruto even used the Kyoka Suigetsu to create an area where he wouldn't be disturbed.

Naruto had many questions about biology when he was conducting Hollowfication and Shinigami experiments. After discussing with Orochimaru, he gained a clearer understanding of the experiments.

The human body is full of mysteries and can accommodate a variety of different energies.

Natural energy, chakra, spiritual pressure.

These energies can form a delicate balance within the body.

The toads of Mount Myōboku, who were proficient in natural energy, already existed before the ninjas appeared.

Human birth, aging, illness, and death are also governed by law.

After death, the soul goes to the Pure Land.

But when did chakra appear?

Orochimaru stated his conjecture: "The human body should also be able to form its own energy, different from chakra, spiritual pressure, and natural energy. Based on the results of my research, chakra also seems to be an external energy source."

This is a very bold, even unorthodox, guess.

The ninja world has always believed that chakra is a fundamental energy extracted from the human body.

The human body and chakra are inseparable.

"Many people are unable to extract chakra from their bodies, and there is no information about chakra in past documents, while natural energy is the energy that has always existed on Earth."

“I also learned about this from the White Snake Sage, which is why I came to this guess: the origin of chakra may not come from our world,” Orochimaru pondered.

"From another perspective, could chakra limit the direction of human evolution, trapping us in the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, preventing us from achieving immortality?"

"The natural energy that symbolizes life force and the spiritual pressure that symbolizes death are the origin of the earth. If one can cultivate these two energies, one may be able to break through the limits of life and thus achieve immortality." Orochimaru's tone became fanatical.

Orochimaru's words were shocking, even horrifying.

If the other ninjas heard this, they would definitely deny Orochimaru's abilities.

But Naruto wouldn't.

“Your thoughts are the same as mine.” Naruto smiled warmly, giving Orochimaru the greatest affirmation: “This is also one of the reasons why I insist on spiritual pressure research. Compared with summoning beasts, human lifespan is too short. How can a mere hundred years be enough to glimpse a higher level of power?”

"That's why I need to break free from Konoha's control as soon as possible and gain my freedom so that I can conduct my research."

"I need to find the way to the Pure Land and obtain more spiritual pressure so that I can transform into a higher level of life." Naruto's tone was calm, but the content was impossible to ignore.

"I see, I see." Orochimaru muttered to himself, his eyes filled with understanding. "You actually wanted to enter the Pure Land."

"Could it be..." Orochimaru seemed to suddenly realize something, his face filled with horror.

"That's right! I will build the Pure Land into my world, transform all souls, and assemble a great army so that one day I can launch a counterattack on the ninja world!"

"I will take over the ninja world, abolish all outdated rules, and bring new life to the ninja world!"

Naruto's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke with a resounding voice.

Chapter 114 He tossed aside his white robe, looking incredibly dashing.

After a deeper conversation with Naruto, Orochimaru understood.

Naruto and Konoha are destined to part ways.

To be precise, he will become an enemy of the ninja world.

And those who stand on Naruto's side will face the entire ninja world.

The pressure is immense, but it's also incredibly exciting.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes were brimming with an excitement he hadn't felt in a long time.

For a ninja, what Naruto was about to do was undoubtedly unconventional and rebellious.

For the ninja world, Naruto's ambition will be a revolution.

One of the most important links in the process of life's evolution.

If successful, human life may reach a completely new level.

Orochimaru was so shocked after truly understanding Naruto's thoughts.

Born from the darkness of Konoha, yet possessing such a vision, Naruto Uzumaki is truly remarkable.

Even after his conversation with Naruto ended, Orochimaru was still somewhat dazed.

Naruto voiced a vague idea that he had been pondering for a long time.

At that moment, he felt a sudden brightness in his heart.

A grand avenue seemed to unfold slowly.

His current approach to immortality is to maintain the soul's immutability and achieve continued life by changing physical bodies.

This is the closest he can currently get to immortality.

The idea that Naruto provided was one that he had previously rejected because it was too difficult.

To achieve immortality through evolution at the fundamental level.

It must be said that Naruto has provided enough reasons to convince him.

The thought of Minato surviving in another form filled Orochimaru with uncontrollable excitement.

I wish I could experience the Grim Reaper transformation directly.

Even the plan to destroy Konoha is now tasteless and unappealing; people wish they could just cancel it altogether.

After chatting, Orochimaru and Naruto returned to the venue one after the other.

At this moment, the battle between Sasuke and Rock Lee has reached its climax.

The ground was already full of potholes, cracks, and rubble, which was enough to show how fierce the battle was.

"Are you kidding me? This is a genin?" The genin watching were all dumbfounded, muttering to themselves.

"Is this the genius of Konoha? It's utterly hopeless."

"This taijutsu is already at the Chunin level, right?"

Discussions arose in the stands; the battle between Sasuke and Rock Lee had made them feel utterly hopeless.

"Sasuke, you've improved really fast."

Rock Lee stood on a high place, looking calm and composed, wearing a white robe.

Not a speck of dust got on them.

"Hmph, you're not bad either." Sasuke crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"It's about time to finish the warm-up."

"Yeah, I think so too." The two began to sneer, oblivious to everyone else.

"What? They were just warming up?"

"Hiss, the Konoha genin are terrifying."

"There are just too many geniuses in Konoha!" exclaimed the stands.

"You all better step back a bit, or I won't be responsible if you get hurt by the aftershocks," Lee Rock shouted at the stands, wiping his nose.

That's such a damn show-off.

This strange word came to everyone's mind.

Rock Lee stood calmly on the high platform.
