Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 319

“This is Naruto’s true strength? A Shinigami with spiritual pressure. Different from chakra, yet somewhat similar. His usage of it is so extensive and intriguing. After his spiritual pressure burst, I felt fear, his power is way beyond mine.” Hyuga Hiashi fell silent, his gaze toward Naruto filled with complexity.

He’s a staunch supporter of the Will of Fire, so he doesn’t fancy individuals like Naruto who forsake it.

Especially after witnessing the chaos Naruto brought to the parallel world’s Leaf Village, he felt even more apprehensive about Naruto.

If this Naruto were to appear in this world, he would undoubtedly cause massive disorder.

“Naruto is the disruptor of peace,” Hiashi stated.

“No, what you call peace is all false. What Naruto has done and will do is merely expose this facade completely,” stated Zabuza mercilessly.

Zabuza highly admires Naruto. He believes this young man already possesses potential surpassing his own. Even he felt pressured after Naruto’s full spiritual pressure burst forth.

However, overcoming him is still far from enough.

But!

Naruto is still young.

At this age, neither Zabuza nor Hidan had such strength.

“I look forward to this kid’s future. Perhaps he will truly unify the entire Shinobi world, fulfilling the goal I failed to achieve before.” Even Zabuza himself hadn’t realized that, at some point, he had started seeing Naruto as his successor.

“This Naruto is quite formidable, but the level of this spiritual pressure doesn’t even reach one-tenth of my chakra,” muttered Hidan involuntarily.

After all, Hidan is the God of Shinobi, and his vast chakra level could easily overwhelm Naruto.

“The abilities of this Zanpakuto are quite impressive. I wonder if ‘Mirror Flower, Water Moon’ could affect me,” mused Hidan. “I really want to battle this kid, to experience the Shinigami’s abilities.”

Outside a certain gambling den:

“Did you see that, Tsunade? The strength of that Naruto from the other world is terrifying. Even we were manipulated by ‘Mirror Flower, Water Moon.’ This terrifying Zanpakuto seems to have minimal consumption; it’s too invincible,” Jiraiya couldn’t help but exclaim. He glanced at Tsunade beside him. Although she pretended to be indifferent, her gaze betrayed complexity.

“This has nothing to do with me,” Tsunade’s tone was somewhat harsh.

“The previous footage exposed everything about the Leaf’s high command. The current Leaf is in a state of disrepair. Leaf has already reached an agreement with the Uchiha and is trying its best to implement policies that integrate the Uchiha into Leaf.”

“The Naruto in the footage is too powerful. So, the Naruto from the Uzumaki clan will definitely be feared by other ninja villages. He might take actions that harm Leaf. Our powerful defenders are too few now. We need you.”

“This has nothing to do with me,” Tsunade remained firm, her tone still rigid. “Worry about Leaf all you want. Instead, think about yourselves. Naruto, who was your disciple, still chose the path of betrayal. Do you really have the confidence that Naruto Uzumaki will inherit the Will of Fire without defecting?”

“You lack confidence, and I don’t believe that even the Naruto from the Uzumaki clan will, after seeing the footage, naively trust Leaf. Leaf’s darkness is too profound; everything is irreparable, Jiraiya.” Tsunade’s voice carried fatigue.

She was talking about Naruto, but wasn’t she talking about herself too?

“It’s precisely because of this that we need to change. In the footage, I’ve been avoiding it, but now I want to face everything. Let’s change Leaf together. The Third Hokage has been in that position for so long. He should enjoy his retirement. As long as you appear, all the villagers and elders will support you to become the Hokage. Together, let’s create a peaceful Leaf and bring Naruto Uzumaki back on track.”

“With you, me, and Fugaku, our Leaf’s strength will still be the greatest in the Shinobi world.”

Seeing the sincere Jiraiya, Tsunade was deeply moved.

[After Naruto finished speaking, all the ninja stared fixedly at Naruto in the sky. The terrifying spiritual pressure constantly oppressed their bodies, forcing them to kneel, their teeth trembling slightly.]

In the scene, Iruka covered his face in agony, letting out an incredulous roar, “Impossible! That’s not the gentle Naruto; it’s impossible!”

Kakashi and others were equally unable to believe everything they saw.

Sasuke’s statement was interesting.

“It was you who dragged me out of the abyss, why leave now! Damn it! Even if I have to break your limbs, I’ll make you stay,” Sasuke’s words made all the spectators’ expressions strange.

Especially Sasuke himself from myriad worlds.

“Damn it, why would I say such things to Naruto? How is that possible?!”

“I actually said that to that loser Naruto! Impossible!” Sasuke felt his inner shame explode.

After the battle between him and Naruto before, he had already considered himself as the greatest genius of Konoha. Yet, the Sasuke in the footage said such strange things.

How could proud Sasuke accept that?

“Damn it, no matter what, I must surpass Naruto Uzumaki, become stronger than him. I will make him follow me, become my subordinate! I will stand above!” There was a hint of fiery determination in Sasuke’s eyes.

Naruto’s every move in the footage was stimulating his childish yet aspiring desire.

He wanted to be the king of cool!

As Naruto walked step by step towards a higher place in the scene, a huge black hole formed in the deep blue sky.

[Several familiar figures appeared, and all the Leaf ninja were left incredulous.]

[The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the Missing-nin from the Hidden Mist, Haku, the Shrine Maiden from the Land of Demons, Shion, and the human-shaped Nine-Tails.]

[A boiling blue light poured down, pulling Naruto’s trio slowly upwards.]

[The large hollow in the black hole awakened the Leaf’s fear of hollows. They finally realized that Naruto was the creator of the hollows!]

[The emotions of the Leaf ninjas reached their peak.]

[They couldn’t believe that the hollows that nearly caused Leaf’s collapse were created by Naruto, and they were furious that the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze would appear in the enemy’s camp.]

[Traitors among the Hokage, this was undoubtedly the biggest blow to Leaf in history.]

“Even the Hokage has defected; it shows how dark Leaf has become.”

Leaf’s residents could no longer be proud of settling in Leaf.

Underneath Leaf’s superficial glamour, it was already in tatters.

Inside the chat room, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki fell into silence.

“In that world, I actually chose to desert Leaf?” Minato’s heart was filled with disbelief.

But when faced with a choice between Leaf and Naruto, he found himself also choosing Naruto.

“Leaf, how many wrongs have you done to make me lose all hope?” Minato couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

“Humph, they’ve treated Naruto like this. Well, I have no attachment left.” Kushina’s attitude was very clear.

Minato: “I’ll give you an explanation, Watergate.”

Kushina: “Explanation? Hehe, aren’t you escaping?”

Minato: “Now I just want to make up for the mistakes I made. Jiraiya and I will return to the village. The Third Hokage has been in this position for so long; it’s time for him to enjoy retirement.”

Minato’s intentions were clear.

Turnover Chocho: “I have no objections; Leaf needs you!”

Leaf Extra: “Lady Tsunade! Please become the Fifth Hokage!”

With the first Extra starting, more and more ninjas began to comment.

Seeing all this, the Third’s heart was undoubtedly bitter.

He had been Hokage for so long, and even if he hadn’t made many contributions, there was still some toil. But now, his reputation was in ruins, shunned by all of Leaf.

All of this is to be blamed on his indecisiveness.

If he hadn’t hesitated to punish Danzo in the beginning, things wouldn’t have escalated with Danzo.

His silence was the main reason for Leaf’s decline.

“An outstanding Hokage must always be decisive and rational. Once you’re influenced by personal feelings, you’re no longer fit,” Hizashi couldn’t help but sigh.

Here’s the translation:

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi: “I understand, Tsunade. Come back soon; I will step down in the coming days.”

As countless parallel worlds of Konoha undergo changes due to images, more and more ninjas begin to take a stand.

They advocate for treating Naruto Uzumaki well, retaining this genius.

However, only Naruto knows what lies in his heart.

[When anger reaches its peak, a ninja soars into the sky, surrounded by surging chakra, emitting immense power and speed.]

[The person arriving is Might Guy. Fueled by anger and misunderstanding, he decides to take action against a few.]

[In this moment, Might Guy unleashes the speed of a shadow-level ninja.]

However, in the scene, Naruto merely extends a finger. In the next instant, a black coffin with murky patterns emerges out of nowhere, engulfing Might Guy directly.

The aura of death it emits sends shivers down one’s spine.

Moments later, the black coffin vanishes, leaving Might Guy unconscious, covered in injuries, emanating black smoke, slowly descending from the sky.

[This is the 90th Ghost Path Black Coffin, potent enough to freeze one’s soul. Even someone as strong as Might Guy is no match for Naruto’s Ghost Path.]

[Might Guy, defeated.]

“Gulon.” The sound of people swallowing saliva echoes through the ninja world, evidently overwhelmed by Naruto’s overwhelming power.

[Rock Lee tosses the Third Hokage’s remains downwards.]

[The Third Hokage’s face turns ashen. At the sight of Minato Namikaze, guilt fills his heart.

He feels guilty towards Minato and Naruto.

Even more so, guilty towards Konoha.

At this moment, he has already resolved himself to die.]

[As his body is about to hit the ground, a white light bursts from Naruto’s fingertip, effortlessly piercing through the Third Hokage’s heart.]

[This signifies the end of the twisted Fire Will in the older generation, as seen in the Third Hokage.]

In the scene, when the Third dies, all the ninjas become furious, roaring and glaring angrily at Naruto.

Jiraiya himself cannot fathom Naruto’s actions and voices his rebuke, “Naruto, have you been consumed by hatred?”

[At the moment Naruto kills the Third Hokage, he and Konoha are now in an endless conflict.

Killing the Hokage is tantamount to trampling on the honor of Konoha.

Konoha has never been merciful towards ninjas who disgrace it!]

[Even though the Third Hokage has made many mistakes, at least he diligently governed Konoha for many years. His crimes don’t warrant death.]

“I can’t believe the double standards here. Jiraiya, what’s up with that attitude?” This subtitle instantly prompts countless curses.

Even the Leaf Village ninjas themselves wear strange expressions, remaining silent.

Yeah.

Your Leaf Village ninjas owe a debt to the other families, allowing a child who should have been a hero’s son to be brainwashed and controlled. What’s the difference between that and killing him?

The Fourth truly entrusted everything to Konoha, yet received such treatment.

Now, the victim has come to settle scores, and you act as if “why bother.”

Isn’t this the biggest double standard in history?

“Jiraiya, your actions are a bit too much. Didn’t expect this from you,” even Tsunade herself looks weirdly at Jiraiya, teasing.

“I’ve said it before, that wasn’t me!! It’s got nothing to do with me!” Jiraiya’s face turns red, trying to explain, but his defense is feeble.

The current footage is far from over.

[Facing Jiraiya’s questioning, Naruto responds with a faint smile.

“Yes, my purpose indeed involves hatred.”]

[“But… not the kind of hatred you think.”

“Konoha has had peace for too long. Once a cradle of genius, now it’s where everyone gets bullied. Under the Third’s rule, Konoha lost its vigor, like a slumbering lion. Even so, Konoha remains the most powerful ninja village.”

“While major villages seem to maintain a delicate balance, there’s always covert strife.”

“But the cost is borne by the civilians.”

“Such a ninja world is too disgusting.”

“The dormant Konoha, having lost its vitality, will eventually be consumed, and the cradle of geniuses will plunge into the abyss. However! The death of Konoha’s Elders Council’s head and the Third Hokage will mark the beginning of Konoha’s transformation.”

“For the weak, hatred is the best catalyst. On this day, Konoha will experience unprecedented pain.”

“And I, carrying all this hatred, await the day when you can catch up with me.”

“Prove to me that Konoha’s dignity cannot be infringed!”

“That’s what I call hatred, Konoha’s towards me, not mine towards Konoha.”

“Because I hold no hatred towards Konoha.”]

[A red Rasengan gathers in Naruto’s hand, continuously expanding. Amidst all the resentful gazes, Naruto casually throws the Rasengan into the ground below the Leaf Village.]

The red Rasengan abruptly expands before hitting the Leaf Village, becoming as huge as a sun.

The heat and light it emits turn the entire sky above the Leaf Village red.

Then, it explodes, unleashing an endless torrent of light and heat, falling like fireworks onto every corner of the Leaf Village.

The scene is engulfed by the roaring red heatwave, screams of agony from the villagers amid the explosions.

The entire explosion scene lasts for almost thirty seconds.

Once it subsides, the entire Leaf Village is completely engulfed in flames.

“The Fire Will lives on; I shall become flames, igniting the Leaf Village.”

The entire ninja world falls into absolute silence.
