Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 288

“Uchiha Sasuke, here we go.” Uzumaki Naruto exclaimed with great spirit, entering Sage Mode and leaping high into the air.

“Hmph.” Uchiha Sasuke’s Sharingan stared intensely at Naruto as a spectral Susano’o appeared behind him.

“Sage Art: Great Rasengan!” Naruto descended from the sky, forming a massive Rasengan in his hand. The energy within it spiraled wildly, creating a high-density, awe-inspiring power.

“Interesting, a Rasengan enhanced with Sage Jutsu, it indeed carries some impressive power.” Naruto raised an eyebrow. Although he hadn’t fully entered Sage Mode, his strength had already surpassed several stages compared to his previous self, thanks to his training.

After his own tutelage, Naruto had truly unlocked his potential. After all, he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, and his talents were among the top in the ninja world, just like Uchiha Sasuke.

But that wasn’t enough.

Naruto calmly raised his hand, releasing a pure, compressed burst of spiritual pressure that pressed directly against the Great Rasengan.

“How is this possible? Just with one hand!!” Naruto’s eyes widened in shock. Although he was struggling to maintain it, the Great Rasengan in his hand couldn’t descend and was even pushed back under the pressure.

If he didn’t do something soon, he might end up taking a hit from his own Great Rasengan.

“Damn it!” Naruto roared, pouring all his chakra into his right hand. However, even so, in mid-air, he was continuously forced back. His entire body began to overheat due to the scorching Great Rasengan, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

“This level isn’t enough!” Naruto erupted with fierce determination, and his chakra surged even more.

“Not bad for determination. Some of this power that doesn’t belong to you has already merged with your body. It’s quite an interesting twist in your otherwise dull life.” Naruto said, with a hint of admiration, as he continued to exert his spiritual pressure.

“It won’t be that easy to finish this.” Just when Naruto was about to give in, Uchiha Sasuke’s attack arrived. Susano’o’s sword swung mercilessly towards Naruto.

“Oh? Susano’o again? It seems you’ve chosen the path of the eyes. Sadly, it’s a bit disappointing.” Naruto’s gaze hardened, and he froze Susano’o in mid-air with just a look, maintaining its attacking posture without moving.

“Just with a glance!!” Uchiha Sasuke was full of disbelief. After awakening his Mangekyou Sharingan, he had a newfound appreciation for the weakness of his own Sharingan. Mangekyou Sharingan not only had its own abilities but also various powerful ninja techniques.

Sasuke had thought that even if he wasn’t Naruto’s match after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he could at least give Naruto some trouble. However, now it seemed that he was too weak, making it a frustrating challenge for Naruto.

“Am I really this weak?” Sasuke clenched his fists, filled with anger and frustration.

How would he ever revive the Uchiha clan like this?

“Naruto!” Uchiha Sasuke shouted.

“Uchiha Sasuke!” They both shouted across the sky, their determination evident in their eyes.

“Amaterasu!” Unquenchable flames appeared above Naruto.

“Kirin!” The sky rumbled with thunderclouds, and the weather in the entire area changed drastically as thunder and lightning struck down.

“Mere ninja techniques.” Naruto remained expressionless, and his spiritual pressure surged again.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The falling lightning exploded, striking the ground near Naruto, but it couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

“His chakra has formed an invisible protective barrier around his body, redirecting my Kirin elsewhere!” Uchiha Sasuke swallowed hard.

And Amaterasu was extinguished instantly.

“Rasengan!” Naruto’s voice sounded just right.

As Naruto was momentarily distracted by Uchiha Sasuke, his control over the situation weakened, which gave him an opportunity.

The massive Great Rasengan descended towards Naruto.

Even though Naruto had fully unleashed his spiritual pressure, it was clear that it wouldn’t be enough to stop it.

Terrifying light and heat erupted, centered around Naruto. An enormous explosion in a circular shape radiated outwards, tearing up the ground in layers.

“Did it work?!” Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke looked at each other, pride visible in their eyes.

In their eyes, the power of the Sage Mode-enhanced Great Rasengan was beyond imagination. Even the gods would have struggled against such power.

This explosion had left countless ninja and Shinigami who were caught in its aftermath severely injured.

The top-tier fighters who were in battle couldn’t help but glance in shock.

“This kind of jutsu surpasses even the God of Shinobi’s Ten-Tails’ Tenpenchii. Are they the sons of gods from another world?” Nagato glanced over, his face filled with amazement.

Meanwhile, under Nagato’s control, Nagato Uzumaki was battered and bruised.

“This level of power,” Nagato stood with difficulty, his chest heaving, and he couldn’t help but notice the situation on Naruto’s side.

“At a time like this, you’re still getting distracted? Don’t tell me you really think you’re a god?” Yahiko’s attacks came once again, leaving marks on Nagato, and he taunted continuously.

“You ninja from another world are completely useless.” Nagato folded his arms, speaking coldly.

Similar events were unfolding in many battles.

What was most interesting was that Orochimaru from the other world had summoned the Fourth Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage and Minato Namikaze looked at each other, their eyes somewhat bewildered.

The two of them began chatting like old friends in the midst of battle.

What shocked the Fourth Hokage even more was that Minato had defected from Konoha as the Fourth Hokage and had even joined the war against the ninja world.

What brought tears to his eyes was seeing his long-desired wife, Kushina Uzumaki. However, this unfamiliar wife was also on the opposite side of the ninja world, and her attitude toward him was far from friendly.

“Is this guy really you from another world? Why do you look so foolish?” Well, she was as hot-headed as ever, and as cute as ever.

Seeing the Fourth Hokage’s somewhat infatuated gaze, Kushina was instantly annoyed.

She felt like she was being played for a fool.

She increased her attack speed immediately.

When the Fourth Hokage was struggling to defend, Jiraiya and Tsunade arrived in time to support, temporarily stabilizing the situation.

The two Orochimarus hit it off immediately, engaging in passionate discussions about their respective philosophies.

The Orochimaru from the alternate world was surprised by the knowledge of this world’s Orochimaru. What shocked him even more was Orochimaru’s abandonment of the previous Immortality Jutsu. He had found a better path to immortality and had even achieved preliminary Shinigami transformation!

He greedily looked at the Orochimaru of this world. This Orochimaru had the same appearance and form from the past, and there was an elusive energy inside him.

“I really have the desire to study someone like me.”

As the two Orochimarus fought each other, the entire battlefield descended into chaos. In the center of it all, the aftermath of the Massive Rasengan had finally subsided.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto stood side by side, panting, as they looked towards the center of the explosion. From within the smoke, a dispassionate voice emerged.

“Not bad, at least there’s some entertainment.”

“But you still remain among the ranks of the weak.”

With clear footsteps, Naruto walked out from the smoke.

“Everything you have right now exists within this dimension, and you don’t even have the qualification for me to use my Zanpakuto.”

“How can this be?” Naruto and Sasuke exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a sense of powerlessness.

Previously, during the Konoha Destruction Plan, Naruto’s Zanpakuto abilities had left a deep impression on them. Yet, now, they hadn’t even forced Naruto to use his Zanpakuto. Naruto had made tremendous progress. They had thought that with the power of the Six Paths, their strength would at least catch up to Naruto’s, but instead, the gap had grown larger.

For Naruto, this was a significant blow. Both Naruto and Sasuke shared the same body and talents, yet the difference was as vast as heaven and earth.

They understood that to prove their strength, they needed to work together perfectly and unlock all of their potential.

“Naruto,” Uchiha Sasuke looked at Naruto, who met his gaze.

“Uchiha Sasuke, the fate of our world is in our hands now. Despite my disdain for Konoha, it’s the place that nurtured and raised me.”

“But our previous identities, situations, and positions no longer matter. We stand together on the same front.”

“We used to be partners who trusted each other, and we still have unbreakable bonds.”

“Let’s go together, Sasuke!! With everything we’ve got!” Naruto extended his hand.

“Hmph, don’t slow me down,” Uchiha Sasuke huffed and placed his hand on Naruto’s.

They exchanged smiles, recalling their past synergy.

“This isn’t all we have!” Naruto added, “Kurama!!”

Inside Naruto’s seal space, Naruto faced Kurama. After receiving Naruto’s guidance, Naruto had developed a new understanding of the Nine-Tails. Through countless sincere conversations, they had reached a temporary understanding.

It could be said that the biggest difference between Naruto and the Naruto of this world was that the latter had been influenced for over a decade. Those memories had always lingered in his mind, influencing his future decisions.

Now, while Naruto was filled with reason, he still retained that unique kindness and innocence from before. In essence, he and the original Naruto were quite different.

Additionally, Naruto didn’t deliberately suppress Naruto’s growth, so their development paths had diverged significantly.

For Kurama, his feelings were mostly sympathy and tolerance. Seeing the young and matured Naruto in front of him, Kurama couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions.

“Naruto, have you made up your mind? Are you standing with Jashin now? You know, even though Jashin has helped you, Jashin’s goal is to erase all traces of the ninja villages and create a new era.”

“Therefore, Konoha may very well disappear. Are you ready for that decision?”

To be precise, the Naruto from the alternate world and Kurama didn’t fully understand Naruto’s plan. In their perception, Naruto had taken a path opposing the world, and they were currently quite lost.

Naruto’s eyes were filled with confusion and uncertainty. He recalled everything from his past: the malice of the villagers, the greed of the Konoha higher-ups, but also his burning desire to become Hokage. He remembered all the people he had met and formed bonds with during his growth: Kakashi, Jiraiya, Ayame, Teuchi, and many others.

Honestly, had he truly made up his mind?

“I don’t know,” Naruto wore a gentle smile, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that right now, I need to show enough strength to give the ninja world a chance to survive.”

He took a deep breath, his expression serious. “Even though I have grievances with Konoha, I don’t want to see the ninja world destroyed like this. I want to prove that Sasuke and I can manage our world’s ninja world on his behalf.”

Naruto looked resolute, speaking word by word. “Kurama, I think you also know that his personality won’t tolerate other forces challenging him. Perhaps because of Konoha’s actions, our world might face destruction.”

“So, let’s do this together, for our own sake, and to show him that we have the power to change our world’s destiny!”

Naruto’s eyes were filled with determination. Kurama smiled and said, “I used to think you’d be that naive Naruto forever.”

“You’ve grown, Naruto!”

“As you wish! Let’s go together! Fight for ourselves!” Kurama extended his claws and appeared behind Naruto.

“This time, we won’t be alone!”

Naruto decisively tore away the seal’s talismans, and Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki’s figures appeared before them.

“Father, Mother!! Let’s go together!” Naruto gave a warm, bright smile.

“Go for it, Naruto!!” Minato and Kushina extended their hands.

“Kurama, Naruto, I’m counting on you from now on.”

“Hmph!” Kurama huffed arrogantly.

Their consciousness returned. Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke stood side by side, their hands overlapping. Kurama’s colossal form appeared behind them.

“Let’s go together, Sasuke, Kurama!” Naruto’s voice filled with excitement. Kurama also extended his claws, joining them.

“For ourselves! For our friendship!”

They exchanged glances, determination shining in their eyes.

This battle was not just to protect their world but also to prove to Naruto that their world had what it took!

“Let’s go!” Naruto’s entire body was suddenly engulfed in golden flames as he entered the perfect form of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, with black spheres of Six Paths power floating around him. He held two black rods in his hands, striking a dashing and cool pose.

“Hmm,” Uchiha Sasuke stood shoulder to shoulder with Naruto.

“Not bad, you’ve piqued my interest a bit,” Naruto raised an eyebrow, his tone calm.
