Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 312
The fluctuating battle process keeps the audience on edge.
Although the edited footage of the battle is fast-paced, the pressure from both sides can still be felt.
Both using the Sage techniques from Mount Myoboku, it’s evident that Naruto Uzumaki’s Sage techniques are stronger than Jiraiya’s.
Perhaps this is the younger generation surpassing the older.
After obtaining intelligence, Naruto Uzumaki caught Pain’s Six Paths off guard using the Frog Kumite, even directly killing four of the Pains.
Unfortunately, the Six Paths of Pain were too strong. If Naruto Uzumaki had a bit more time, the outcome might have been different.
“Looks like I still lost.” Naruto Uzumaki watching the footage couldn’t help but sigh.
Comparing himself in the footage to the Shinigami Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki realized that after experiencing so much, what he truly longed for deep down was actually the Shinigami Naruto.
The future is not set in stone, everyone changes due to the butterfly effect. Naruto Uzumaki is no exception.
The two different versions of Naruto have completely different perspectives.
One is attached to Konoha, while the other has already moved beyond it.
He takes a deep breath, concealing his emotions.
The next video is…
[“The Girl Who Liked Shinigami Naruto?”]
“Interesting, in my opinion, this dream is unlikely to come true because that Naruto wouldn’t stay for emotions.”
Naruto Uzumaki suddenly thinks of Sakura.
Do I still like Sakura now? He questioned himself.
The answer he received was, no, he didn’t.
“This Naruto Uzumaki in the footage has a lot of potential, but compared to Shinigami Naruto, he seems somewhat lacking,” the high-ranking Leaf officials pondered after watching the footage.
From the current situation, the Naruto Uzumaki in their world seems similar to the Naruto Uzumaki who loved Konoha in the footage.
“Even so, we should be fully prepared. The purpose of the current footage is still unknown. Our attitude and strategy towards Naruto Uzumaki should change,” the Third Hokage stated.
After Danzo’s departure from Konoha, he had taken sole control. But what troubled him was the increasing voices in Konoha suggesting Tsunade take up the mantle of the Fifth Hokage.
Clearly, many were won over by Tsunade’s actions during the Pain invasion. Coupled with the previous Danzo incident, public trust in the Third Hokage had declined.
The Third now had to do something to regain the trust.
What he didn’t know was that at that moment, Jiraiya had already found Tsunade, and both were heading back to Konoha.
After viewing so much footage, they also realized the presence of many dangerous elements lurking in the ninja world.
They couldn’t afford to remain complacent.
“Next, the Akatsuki organization will be forced into the sight of all ninja villages,” Nagato said, his eyes filled with killing intent and discontent.
“The tailed beast capturing plan needs to be accelerated while Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha haven’t fully grown yet,” he coldly stated.
A few days later, new footage appears.
[“The Girl Who Liked Naruto.”]
Having seen so many intense battle scenes, this gossip-related footage surprisingly caught the attention of most people.
For girls, occasionally indulging in gossip brings a sense of happiness.
“That Naruto Uzumaki is the most handsome, and so refined and rational. I bet many girls like him. Oh my, could it be me? If it were me, I’d definitely marry Naruto,” Ino gushes, holding her face dreamily.
“I remember Naruto seemed to like you. Could it be you, Sakura? Although the two worlds are different, there might still be some connection,” she then gazes at Sakura with an inquiring look.
“How is that possible?! How could I like Naruto!? How could I marry him?! I… I…” Sakura denies aloud but then falls into a state of conflict.
If it were the old doofus Naruto, she absolutely wouldn’t like him.
But if it were the gentle Naruto…
It’s really hard to say.
The footage at this moment officially starts.
It begins with the familiar scenes of Naruto’s daily school life.
Gentle and refined, kind to others.
Naruto’s popularity completely overshadows Sasuke’s.
He earns the recognition of his classmates through his actions.
[“That day, an argument erupted in the classroom.”]
Scenes of Sakura and Ino arguing are shown.
[“‘Big Forehead.’ Ino’s three words deeply hurt Sakura, who runs out of the classroom in tears.”]
“That’s harsh.” The students in the ninja school exchange glances.
At this stage, Sakura and Ino haven’t fallen out yet, so both are quite awkward.
In the footage, Naruto steps out.
[“”Don’t mock your classmates with malice, it’s very impolite.” Naruto, contrary to his usual mild demeanor, looks serious.”]
[“As Sakura is mocked for her big forehead, and the surrounding students snicker, Naruto seems to see himself, once ridiculed, in her.”]
[“Under Naruto’s reprimand, the classmates also feel ashamed and lower their heads.”]
[“”I’m sorry.” Ino looks remorseful.”]
[“Naruto remains gentle, ruffling Ino’s golden hair, and speaks thought-provoking words.”]
[“Jealousy is the most elusive emotion, it might make you lose a close friend. Cherish it, friendship is precious.”]
[“On the rooftop, Sakura is crying.” In the footage, Sakura sits in a corner, sobbing softly, feeling helpless and lowly.”]
Clear footsteps are heard.
[“Naruto sits beside Sakura, calmly recounting his own past.”]
Sakura is captivated by Naruto’s story, momentarily forgetting her tears.
[“Though the journey might be tough, at the moment of happiness, all hardships are past.”]
Naruto’s smile is radiant, warm like the sun.
[“In my eyes, Sakura, you already possess the happiness I dare not dream of, with caring family and trusted friends.””]
[“Sakura, you’re actually very beautiful. When I first saw you, I was drawn to your pink hair. In this season, seeing the pink like cherry blossoms is also a kind of happiness.””]
The world of Sakura was illuminated as Naruto spoke.
As Naruto personally tied a ribbon on Sakura, there was no room left in Sakura’s eyes for anyone else.
Seeing this, female spectators couldn’t help but shed tears, immersing themselves in Sakura’s character.
Who doesn’t experience young love?
And who can resist the gentle elegance of Naruto?
The stoic male might be attractive at times, but a gentle man like Naruto can influence a girl’s entire life.
It’s evident that the future Sakura will unquestionably live in Naruto’s radiance.
“So romantic, Naruto is so gentle, it brings tears to my eyes.”
“If I met such a boy when I was young, I would definitely pursue him madly.”
“Sakura is so lucky, I’d give all my wealth for a partner like Naruto.”
Not just the residents, even many resolute female ninjas couldn’t help but feel a flutter of affection.
Naruto’s gentleness and strength perfectly fit their criteria for a partner.
“I envy you so much, Sakura. You won’t end up marrying Naruto, will you?” Ino looked at Sakura with envy, unable to hold back.
“That Naruto in that world… is unexpectedly so gentle. No wonder I started liking him.” Blushing, Sakura’s heart raced like a young deer.
Everyone temporarily forgot that Naruto’s entire persona was actually a facade.
The real him was far more ruthless than anyone imagined.
The scene shifted.
Soon, it arrived at Team 7 executing a mission.
In these scenes, Sakura, without exception, became the tag-along.
?“Naruto and Sasuke both demonstrate strength far beyond their peers, successfully completing missions every time. As their partner, Sakura seems much more ordinary, but she’s always striving, trying to keep up with Naruto’s pace.”?
The scene shifted to Sakura training hard late at night, silently growing stronger from physical to ninja techniques.
But in the radiance of Naruto and Sasuke, she appeared dim.
?“The gap in talent makes her only able to watch their backs from afar.”?
?“Her entire life is spent chasing after the light.”?
The scene showed Sakura making bento for Naruto every day, timidly attempting to talk to him, later cutting her hair, apprenticing under Tsunade, earnestly studying.
?“Her communication with Naruto reduced, but her feelings for him never changed.”?
?“She believed that such efforts would have a return.”?
Seeing this, many sentimental people already had tears in their eyes.
Ino hugged Sakura, crying, “Sakura, sniff, you and Naruto are so perfect together, I approve of this marriage.”
“Did I really like Naruto so much?” Sakura’s expression was strange. After seeing all this footage, she felt shy and expectant inside.
“This… in Boruto, Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other awkwardly.”
As everyone knew, Sakura was Sasuke’s wife, and Naruto liked Sakura when they were kids.
After watching this segment, there was a sense of a green cloud hovering over.
“Cough, Sasuke, that’s not me.” Naruto awkwardly cleared his throat.
“Boom.” In Naruto’s home, Hinata expressionlessly smashed the table, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
“Did Dad really do that? Sarada, could it be I’m his…?” At the ninja academy, Boruto blurted out.
“Hiss, now that you say it, it seems true. Sarada does resemble the Seventh Hokage.”
The entire class was in chaos.
Even Sarada herself started doubting.
On careful thought, the relationship between her mother and father seemed awkward. Her father rarely returned home, and when he did, their interaction didn’t seem like that of a loving couple.
In this light, perhaps, just like in the footage, her mother deeply loved the Seventh Hokage, and that didn’t change even after marrying her father.
“Hiss!!” After this guess, Sarada gasped for air.
She didn’t know how to face her own mother and the Seventh Hokage anymore.
The footage continued.
After the previous gentle Naruto, everyone understood that this might be the daily life of a love-struck person pursuing their ideal.
The ultimate ending might be sweet.
?In Sakura’s heart, Naruto had always been that gentle, considerate Naruto until that day…?
When this subtitle appeared, everyone felt a sense of unease.
The scene transitioned to a sunny day. With a violent explosion and alarms blaring, the entire Konoha erupted.
?According to intelligence, there seemed to be a situation at the Root Base, and Sakura, along with her teacher Kakashi and partner Sasuke, rushed to the location of the incident.?
She had a foreboding feeling. Naruto was associated with the Root; if something happened there…
Sakura didn’t dare to make any guesses. She just wanted to see Naruto quickly. But what she saw was Naruto’s body…
The scene showed Naruto’s body, pierced through the chest by Wood Release, his blood already drained.
Sakura’s heart shattered. She felt dizzy, almost fainting, and Kakashi and Sasuke by her side couldn’t believe it either.
Sakura cried, feeling the pain and confusion. Who had the power to assassinate Naruto within Konoha?
In contrast to Sakura, Sasuke didn’t believe what he saw. The Naruto he knew wouldn’t die so easily.
The ANBU began cleaning up the crime scene, and led by a grief-stricken Kakashi, Team 7 left the site.
Seeing this, the entire ninja world was in an uproar.
“This isn’t right, Naruto is dead? How did Naruto die? Was it Toneri?”
“No, this doesn’t make sense, it’s completely different from the previous footage. Previously, Toneri was easily killed by Naruto. How come now, Naruto is the victim?” Countless ninjas were perplexed.
“Could it be that these two Narutos are from different worlds?” The Third Hokage drew a conclusion and then shook his head. “Impossible, the Naruto in Sakura’s memories and the Naruto as the Shinigami are the same. Even if they are from different worlds, the difference in strength shouldn’t be this vast. He could even kill Toneri.”
“And Naruto was killed by Wood Release, and the only ninja in Konoha with Wood Release is Toneri.”
“Unless… everything they saw was fake. Genjutsu? What?! Naruto is going to attack Konoha?!”
In the ninja school, the youngsters were all baffled. Most hadn’t thought about the truth behind it. Only Shikamaru had a pensive expression, eyes revealing a sense of shock.
“Konoha is going to be in turmoil.”
Inside the Akatsuki’s headquarters.
After the plan was exposed, the Akatsuki organization could clearly feel more eyes attempting to gather information about their organization. Even their members were cautious when accepting other missions.
“This Naruto Uzumaki is not simple.” Nagato silently stared at the screen, his eyes showing danger. “To think that the Moon’s Eye Plan could influence so many people?”
“Is it possible that he’s truly dead?” Konan asked.
After all, influencing everyone at the Root Base in this manner with the Moon’s Eye Plan was somewhat unbelievable.
“Let’s not rule out that possibility. Let’s continue watching.”
Nagato pondered.
With speculation, there was naturally pain.
Countless ninjas started crying.
“Naruto-sama, I’m your fan, how could you die?”
“Naruto-sama, you can’t die, I want to follow you!”
The footage continued.
The fragmented Team 7 walked down the street, each person with a different expression.
Sakura silently shed tears, Kakashi remained speechless.
“Naruto, he won’t die.” Suddenly, Sasuke spoke, his tone resolute. “The Naruto I know wouldn’t die like this, absolutely not.”
?Hearing Sasuke’s words, Sakura suddenly felt a sense of self-reproach, truly realizing the gap between them. She lacked this kind of trust in Naruto. Ultimately, she and Sasuke weren’t from the same world as Naruto.?
