Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 315
?With the initiation release, Rock Lee demonstrated the abilities of the Shinigami, abandoning taijutsu and continuously suppressing Guy with the jutsu brought by the Ghost Path and Initiation Release.?
Originally specialized in taijutsu, Rock Lee underwent a massive contrast after the Initiation Release.
However, Guy’s power erupted too strongly in this battle.
[When the Eight Gates were opened, the outcome of this battle was already predetermined.]
[Rock Lee was defeated, but the merciful Guy hesitated to make the final strike.]
[Rock Lee’s heart was filled with anger. For him, dying on the battlefield was a kind of honor; he didn’t need this mercy.]
[As Guy turned to leave, Rock Lee’s right hand pierced through Guy’s chest, leaving a cold remark.]
“Guy-sensei, your youth, it’s the most useless.”
[He avoided the vital points in Guy’s body because he wanted Guy to understand: the previous Rock Lee had already died. This way, in the next battle, Guy would either try to kill him with all his might or be killed by him.]
[Next episode preview: Naruto’s defection, I will stand in the heavens.]
The footage ended here.
All the audience was filled with mixed emotions.
Rock Lee’s life was an extraordinary one for an ordinary person.
What shocked them was the final battle between master and disciple.
Both sides exhibited powers almost surpassing those of the Kage level.
Even the higher-ups of Konoha couldn’t believe it.
Guy turned out to be so powerful.
Although the Eight Gates Release indeed brought immense strength, Guy’s displayed power was not to be underestimated.
“Is this the showdown between Guy and me?”
Rock Lee’s own feelings were undoubtedly complicated.
He regarded Guy’s youth as his life goal. He also aspired to become a ninja embodying youthfulness.
However, the change in his video representation was too drastic.
He even abandoned his ninja identity to become a Shinigami.
“Initiation Release? What’s that?” This footage thoroughly exposed the Jingling Court to the scrutiny of the ninja world.
It was a mysterious organization capable of rivaling the ninja world.
However, the footage did not detail the process of defection or the subsequent Great Ninja War. This undoubtedly heightened everyone’s anticipation.
Many previous images more or less hinted at events related to defection. Careful consideration could link them together.
The death of Danzo, Sakura being stabbed, and even familiar figures like the Fourth Hokage in the defection scene would get answers in the upcoming footage.
At this moment, in the original Konoha, the newly arrived Danzo was a bit confused.
The Sound Village was empty.
“Where did Orochimaru go?”
Meanwhile, in the Jingling Court, numerous versions of Orochimaru gathered, discussing their future research.
They looked serious, filled with enthusiasm for their research.
“I never expected Naruto-kun could open gates to countless parallel worlds. His Zanpakuto ability is so amazing,” remarked the main-world Orochimaru, full of emotions.
“But he won’t be coming back, will he?”
“Yes, he has chosen a different path,” Sasuke said calmly, embracing his shoulders.
“The Jingling Court is the gift he left for our world. We must manage it well.”
“Naruto didn’t misjudge people. After you took over, you chose to vigorously develop technology,” observed Orochimaru, glancing at Sasuke.
“War is never a way out. Only by developing agriculture and technology can we break free from this world,” Sasuke replied.
“Our goal is never confined to one piece of land. I want to see the scenery in the universe in my lifetime.”
“But humans can’t survive without oxygen in space, so the priority should be the Shinigami,” Orochimaru shrugged.
Compared to humans, the conditions for Shinigami survival were undoubtedly simpler.
They only needed stored Reishi.
“I’m hopeful for the future. Maybe we’ll see Naruto on other planets,” Sasuke expressed hope for the future.
The existence and convergence of countless worlds proved the potential of the Zanpakuto.
Now, the Jingling Court was gradually developing different academic factions.
One faction supported fully developing the potential of the Zanpakuto. Bankai was by no means the limit of the Zanpakuto. Perhaps there might be a third level of liberation in the future.
Another faction, led by Hollow, supported researching the Shikai after merging Shinigami powers.
The third faction balanced both, mastering both Hollowfication and Shinigamification, attempting to merge them.
Numerous scholars conducted their own academic research based on different factions, even inviting Orochimaru for related research.
Without exaggeration, academic development had become the main theme of the Jingling Court.
Everyone was looking forward to the day when the doors to other worlds would open, allowing the Jingling Court to reach a higher level of development.
At this moment, almost all other ninja villages in parallel worlds were going crazy.
Again, it’s Konoha. Why is all the content in this footage about Konoha’s prodigies?
First, it highlighted the unattainable Shinigami Naruto, and now, it even didn’t spare ordinary ninjas, arranging a drama of ordinary people’s comeback.
Without exaggeration, now the entire ninja world had Naruto’s fans. If the Jingling Court appeared in parallel worlds, undoubtedly many ninjas would join.
As the footage played, discontent among ninjas towards their villages gradually surfaced.
From various types of footage, it could be seen that most of the higher-ups in the villages held power and had significant selfish motives.
The prominent clans also held most of the knowledge and resources, leaving almost no chance for the commoners.
In the footage of Rock Lee in the Root, countless bloody and cruel events in the lower levels were exposed.
In front of these higher-ups, the residents were all easy-to-control pawns.
To the higher-ups, Shinigami Naruto was inhuman and a terrifying figure trying to overthrow peace. However, on closer inspection, Naruto was a representation of the residents’ struggle against life.
Refusing knowledge monopolization, refusing to be confined, just wanting to walk their own path.
Although he disguised himself and presented a false front to others, he never harmed innocent people.
He even removed the curse of Konoha, Danzo.
How could one not like such a Naruto?
With the exposure of the footage, more and more ninjas and civilians began to stand up, courageously accusing the clans or higher-ups.
Although they all evaporated later, having this beginning, more protesters would emerge like mushrooms after the rain.
There were even underground organizations pledging allegiance to Naruto, considering the Naruto from parallel worlds as the emissary of Shinigami Naruto.
The ninja world was about to stir up a “revolution.”
There were even elite ninjas gathering, attempting to rescue Naruto Uzumaki from Konoha.
“For the new era, for genuine peace,” Naruto Uzumaki himself was deeply moved. His eyes were moist, and his heart gradually yearned for freedom and peace.
“I really like Sakura. If the Sakura in the footage likes me, that’d be great.” Naruto sat in the classroom, looking lost, communicating with Kurama in his mind.
In this world, after the exposure in the footage, Naruto garnered a lot of attention. However, in his naïveté, he ultimately chose to forgive the higher-ups of Konoha and still aspired to become a Hokage.
“If you like her, you should tell her. If you don’t take action, you’ll never find love,” Kurama spoke within him.
“But… sigh, I’m too different from the influential Naruto in the footage,” Naruto said, disheartened.
“But you’re the tenth generation of the Hokage lineage. You shouldn’t be disheartened,” Kurama’s voice was clear and childlike.
With that, the chameleon on Kurama’s hat leaped into his hand, transforming into a pistol. The dark barrel was aimed at Naruto.
“I’ll help you clarify your own feelings.” Bullets shot toward Naruto’s forehead.
The immense impact sent Naruto uncontrollably flying backward.
“Am I dead? Is this how I die?” At that hazy moment of consciousness, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
“If I die like this, there’ll be too many regrets.”
“I haven’t confessed to Sakura, nor have I proven the difference between myself and the Death God Naruto!”
“I haven’t become a Hokage!”
“There’s so much left undone. If I were given another chance at life.”
In the real world, Naruto, who was initially resting his head on the table, suddenly lifted his head. His previously troubled expression turned into a fierce and demonic one, unseen red flames burning on his forehead.
“Ah! Resurrection!” Naruto jumped from his seat, letting out a tremendous shout, drawing everyone’s attention.
Amid the bewildered gazes, Naruto’s body erupted with unprecedented speed, arriving in front of Sakura’s desk in the blink of an eye, directly kneeling before her.
“Sakura, I like you. Will you marry me?”
The speed was perplexing, the words spoken, jaw-dropping.
Feeling the eyes of onlookers, Sakura remained resolute. “I refuse.”
“I’ll keep trying! I’ll make you fall for me,” Naruto yelled, paying no heed, shouting to the heavens.
“That fire…” Sasuke, sitting in the corner, wore a pensive expression.
Apparently, he was among the few who saw the flames on Naruto’s forehead.
“Interesting. Using special means to make Naruto believe he’s about to die, expressing his confession to Sakura with absolute determination. This might unleash the body’s ultimate potential.” Watching Naruto, Sasuke had a playful smile.
“His body has become much stronger after the ‘deathly transformation.’ This kind of bullet must have different effects on various mindsets. Unexpectedly, this seemingly weak world has surprises.” Naruto thought to himself.
“This is an object worthy of observation.”
Under the eager anticipation of the crowd, the footage was about to start.
“Finally, after waiting for so long, we can witness Lord Naruto leaving the dirty village of Konoha.”
“Start watching! I want to see Lord Naruto destroy the whole of Konoha.”
“Lord Naruto is compassionate and won’t slaughter innocents.” Naruto’s young fans were extremely active.
“Is it finally happening? I want to see how pitiful Konoha is in front of Lord Naruto.” Ninja from other villages were excited and gloating.
While Konoha’s reputation in the ninja world was decent, it didn’t hold up well in the eyes of these ninjas. Especially with the Root being active in recent years, many other villages had experienced Konoha’s machinations to some extent.
However, Root operated covertly, and they couldn’t find any concrete evidence, so they could only bite the bullet.
Seeing Root exposed in the footage and the considered war weapon, Naruto’s preparation to defect made these villages quite happy.
“If our world’s Naruto could defect too,” some high-ranking ninjas even expressed such thoughts.
“Dad’s going to defect,” in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Boruto said this with a complex tone.
“What nonsense. Your father is the Seventh Hokage,” Hinata interrupted from the side.
“But he’s still Naruto Uzumaki,” Boruto muttered.
Comparing the two dads in his mind, he realized he seemed to prefer the defecting dad.
On the other hand, Sasuke and Naruto were together again, watching the footage in the sky.
Their relationship hadn’t become stiff or awkward due to the earlier assessment of Sakura.
In a way, their friendship was unbreakable, even against romance.
“You’re about to defect,” Sasuke said calmly.
“Cough, I’ve said it, that’s not me,” Naruto said awkwardly.
“In that world, you’re strong. Much stronger than we were back then. Konoha won’t be able to hold you,” Sasuke said.
“But I believe in Konoha’s ability to withstand,” Naruto had great confidence in Konoha.
“In that footage, your father also defected,” Sasuke added.
In the footage that previously focused on Rock Lee, the Fourth Hokage and others had appeared in the final scene, causing quite a stir throughout the ninja world.
Fortunately, in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, Naruto had proven himself through his own experiences. So, other villages and Konoha residents treated the footage as mere entertainment. It was a unique experience to witness the Seventh Hokage in a different light.
This segment of the footage even became a laughingstock for teasing Naruto.
One could say that the ninja world in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was quite peaceful.
“I never expected I’d have that side too,” Naruto said, quite relaxed.
“Maybe that’s just extreme,” Naruto chuckled.
“Yeah, that Naruto is too extreme.”
“No, I meant you, extremely silly.”
“What’s wrong with wanting to become a Hokage and protect Konoha?”
Sasuke’s words left Naruto speechless, attempting to defend himself.
“Of course, there’s a big problem. A normal person, after the kind of childhood trauma you experienced, would definitely hold grudges. Instead of seeking everyone’s approval, your thinking back then wasn’t rational.” Sasuke said.
“That’s the influence of Ashura’s chakra.”
Sasuke concluded, and this time, Naruto didn’t argue.
The footage officially began.
Firstly, familiar scenes of Root appeared. The footage was fast-forwarding, showing Naruto defeating Danzo and destroying Root.
The scene shifted to Naruto’s sealing space.
“Naruto will unseal the Nine-Tails and turn the Nine-Tails into the Death God!”
Naruto’s hand reached toward the sealing formula. At the moment before it was revealed, a red-haired figure appeared.
“Naruto’s mother, Kushina Uzumaki, is the back-up for the seal. Kushina genuinely loves Naruto, but Naruto knows there’s no time left for sentimentalism. He forcefully pushes away Kushina’s hand and decisively unseals it.”
The scene stopped there, and several prompts popped up.
“World Chatroom Open, Departed Souls Joining, Kushina Uzumaki Joins, Minato Namikaze Joins, Hashirama Senju Joins.”
Every person found a chatroom of their own world in their minds, and countless old acquaintances joined the chatroom.
The entire ninja world exploded in discussion.
