Naruto Taught By Aizen - Chapter 329
The crowd suddenly understood why Sasuke’s figure wasn’t seen in the final Ninja World War.
Because he chose a path entirely different from Itachi’s.
He didn’t belong to the Quiet Cultivation Hall, nor did he belong to the Shinobi Villages; his attitude was neutral.
“The Shinobi Villages are full of filth. Considering Sasuke’s character, perhaps he won’t intervene,” someone sighed.
After reviewing the footage, their opinions of their own Shinobi Village plummeted.
Konoha’s darkness was appalling, but beneath the internal darkness, his demeanor remained highly peaceful.
“But Sasuke’s aspirations can only be realized in the Quiet Cultivation Hall,” people speculated.
In the Boruto series,
“Is that the father of that world?” Sarada gazed at the footage, murmuring to herself. She recalled every bit of her interactions with Uchiha Sasuke. His heart seemed full of pain, often revealing a slightly sad expression.
Maybe for him, whether it was his brother or the Uchiha clan, it was a thorn in his heart.
But the father of that world completely abandoned it all.
What a sense of enlightenment.
That kind of father was so unfamiliar yet so admirable.
“The limit of the Rinnegan?” Sarada touched her own eyes, murmuring.
“Sasuke, I never expected the you of that world to give up on the Uchiha.” In Boruto, the Seventh Hokage Naruto sighed, saying, “Giving up on the Uchiha.” Uchiha Sasuke’s eyes flickered continuously. In recent years, he had been atoning for the sins he committed.
He personally killed his brother and even once wanted to kill his best friend, Naruto.
He felt disgust for his past self.
But on careful thought, wasn’t his initial ideal similar to the Naruto in the footage?
A desire to overturn everything, reshape the rules.
Carry all the pain on one’s shoulders.
The only difference was that he gave up, while Naruto accomplished it.
“A human’s life is truly full of unknowns.” After a while, Sasuke showed a complex smile and sighed, “Whatever the Sasuke in the footage did, the current you is my best partner.” Naruto patted Uchiha Sasuke’s shoulder, grinning, “To even discard your own surname, that Sasuke is too ruthless.”
The footage continued from Sasuke’s perspective.
Sasuke roamed the entire continent, experiencing firsthand the pain and helplessness of the smaller villages under the overt and covert conflicts of the major Shinobi Villages.
Some villages were perennially coerced by the major Shinobi Villages, and eventually, the adults all left.
Some villages were ravaged by bandits, leaving half the villagers dead or injured overnight.
Some villages secluded themselves in uninhabited corners, self-sufficiently living in peace for over a decade.
Under the backdrop of power play among the Shinobi Villages, almost no one could truly achieve a peaceful life.
This also added to Sasuke’s dissatisfaction.
Finally, Sasuke temporarily settled in a village and raised a teenager.
After collecting information from various sources, Sasuke learned about the commencement of the Ninja World War.
[The Sage of the Six Paths sows discord, depicting Naruto’s goal as releasing the Infinite Tsukuyomi, altering everyone’s will to achieve ultimate peace.]
[Sasuke heads to the scene of the Ninja World War.]
“This is the second Ninja World War of the new generation. The first war concluded with the victory of the Quiet Cultivation Hall. After this war, the Quiet Cultivation Hall began absorbing talents from the entire Shinobi World. Countless ninjas flocked to join, strengthening the Quiet Cultivation Hall’s power. After several months of recuperation, the Shinobi Villages got involved once again.”
“In the second war, the Quiet Cultivation Hall still emerged victorious, crushing everything effortlessly.”
In the scene, amidst a chaotic battlefield, countless casualties were seen within the Ninja Alliance, cries of agony resonating.
Despair was written on everyone’s faces.
Moments ago, all the previous Kage summoned through Edo Tensei were defeated.
Was the Quiet Cultivation Hall’s rule truly unstoppable?
Click. At that moment, crisp footsteps echoed on the battlefield.
In the distance, a figure walked through the sandstorm, approaching slowly.
[Sasuke appeared.]
Every step he took seemed so ordinary, yet it gave off a graceful vibe.
Lightning coiled around his feet, leaving no footprints wherever he stepped.
The members of the Ninja Alliance or the Shinigami Alliance unconsciously made way for him.
His pace was neither hurried nor slow, his aura calm.
At first glance, he seemed like a powerless man.
“Naruto.” Soon, Sasuke arrived a hundred meters from Naruto, glanced indifferently at the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki, and spoke with a cold voice.
“You collect the Tailed Beasts to create the Quiet Cultivation Hall’s purpose of transforming the Shinobi World into a paradise?”
Faced with the question, Naruto, naturally proud, didn’t explain.
“Wanna know the answer? Then show me your potential.”
[“As you wish.”]
Rumble. Thunder clouds filled the sky, the ground trembling. Sasuke, who initially appeared serene, seemed to have transformed in an instant.
The lightning surrounding his feet crackled, and the ground was covered in spider-web-like cracks.
His spiritual pressure had surpassed all the current Shinigami except for Naruto.
The audience from the entire Shinobi World suddenly gasped, their eyes filled with shock.
“Such spiritual pressure, how is this possible? Terrifying!”
“So cool, is this Sasuke? Slowly walking out from the sandstorm and questioning Naruto, does he not realize who he’s facing? It’s the entire Quiet Cultivation Hall!!”
The entire Shinobi World was in an uproar. They were flushed with excitement, their eyes filled with admiration.
“Is this really me?” Uchiha Sasuke couldn’t believe it, staring at the image of himself in shock.
“In the end, only I am Naruto’s archenemy!”
[Sasuke stared at Naruto gravely; he could feel Naruto’s spiritual pressure far exceeding his own. Perhaps he was a shrimp attacking a whale, and maybe he would also fall like the Ninja Alliance.]
[But, some things just need someone to do them!]
[“I represent humanity and challenge you for the sake of the human world.”]
The screen switched, and the upbeat background music erupted as Naruto and Sasuke both unleashed speeds beyond human perception.
Their speeds broke the sound barrier; each punch and kick produced piercing sonic booms, leaving traces of crushed ground and scattered stones in their wake.
Amidst the swirling lightning, Sasuke’s entire being reached its peak attributes.
[“Naruto, answer me. What is your purpose in the Quiet Cultivation Hall for creating the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki?”]
[Sasuke never believed that Naruto would transform the Shinobi World into a paradise. He believed that the Naruto he knew had a kind heart.]
[Naruto formed the Perfect Susano’o Realm because their battle risked the lives of both the Quiet Cultivation Hall and the Shinobi Alliance.]
[Naruto’s Zanpakuto could mimic all other Zanpakuto, mastering their abilities for his own use.]
The two in the footage relied purely on their bodies; even the Sharingan couldn’t keep up with their battle.
It also validated Naruto’s words: “The eyes have limits.”
When you’re fixated on bloodline limits, you overlook the most fundamental improvements.
In battle, this could be fatal.
This was a fight breaking the ceiling of the Shinobi World; both Naruto and Sasuke displayed terrifying dominance.
[“Since we met, I’ve been chasing your shadow. But no matter how hard I tried, the gap between us only widened.”
“The day you left Konoha, my heart was filled with confusion and pain because to me, you were not just my comrade but also a dear friend who guided me.”
“I couldn’t understand your thoughts or agree with your ideals until the end… I finally realized.”
“Only through experiencing pain can you truly understand it. I agree with the Quiet Cultivation Hall’s ideals, believing that you can bring peace.”
“I abandoned the Uchiha, left Konoha, found a new direction, and clarified my own heart. I fight for my own justice.”
“I didn’t want to get involved in this war. But I must be clear about one thing: the purpose behind creating the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki. If it’s truly to transform the Shinobi World into a paradise, I absolutely cannot sit back and watch. So, I’m here.”
“Even though I understand, I know for sure I can never be your match.”]
[The nature of this battle has changed. It’s a fight of bonded partners!]
[Despite the previous manipulations, Sasuke always believed in Naruto, so he’s here for an explanation. His goal is also to show the fruits of his efforts, to tell Naruto that he’s ready to stand alongside him!]
Boom. After Sasuke unleashed his full power, cracks appeared in the Perfect Susano’o Realm, even as thunder rumbled.
Amidst the crackling lightning, Sasuke’s black hair transformed into golden locks, each strand standing on end, and his pupils turned gold.
[“This is the potential of a Quincy!”]
With the explosion, Sasuke’s speed increased once again.
This time, Naruto was beaten mercilessly like a punching bag.
[“I want to thank you for making me aware of the Uchiha, but I don’t want to become a Shinigami. I want to walk my own path, and I cannot forsake my human identity! Can’t there be a delicate balance between Quincy and Shinigami?”]
But after the ripples, Naruto was unscathed, thanks to the Mirage Moonlight’s Bankai, which could immunize or distort and transfer all damage, even reversing life and death.
“Of course, there can be a balance between humans and Shinigami.”
“Conquering the Soul Society and the Shinobi World is part of my plan. The Quiet Cultivation Hall itself exists to dominate everything.”
“This world has completely decayed. The Shinobi Villages in the Shinobi World harbor too much darkness, and wars will never cease. To change everything, you have to overthrow everything. The Soul Society is even dominated by the sages, peering into the Shinobi World, using prophecies to drive the undercurrents within.”
“The darkness in this world is beyond your imagination, Sasuke.”]
[“What have you done? Sheltered a single village? Is this your capacity?” Naruto’s words left Sasuke speechless.]
“The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. You should radiate your justice throughout the world. So, come and help me, become the master of the Quiet Cultivation Hall and the Shinobi World, control everything.”
Amid Sasuke’s astonished gaze, Naruto smiled.
[“Now, you have that potential.”]
The screen froze on the gaze between Naruto and Sasuke. Finally, their hands clasped together.
The screen switched again, displaying the bustling Quiet Cultivation Hall.
Sasuke became the Captain Commander, seated on high.
Prosperity and peace reigned within the Quiet Cultivation Hall, where everyone played their part.
Research and development became the theme of this world.
Thanks to Sasuke’s efforts, the entire Shinobi World regained its vitality.
Everyone wore smiles on their faces.
[End of the compilation.]
As the dark veil in the sky slowly disappeared, everyone’s expressions were entranced.
There remained a lingering sense of emotion in their eyes.
“So, peace can really come, can’t it?” someone asked.
He became an orphan in the war and desired peace more than anyone.
“Of course, peace will surely come.” Others exchanged hopeful glances.
The exploits of the Quiet Cultivation Hall rekindled their desire and confidence in peace.
“Perhaps it’s time for a change,” the Kage of the major Shinobi Villages murmured.
They too were moved by the prosperous Quiet Cultivation Hall in the footage.
That kind of peaceful era was what everyone yearned for.
“It’s over.” After gathering the final Asura Chakra, Naruto let out a relieved sigh and smiled.
At this moment, his spiritual pressure and chakra had perfectly merged, reaching a new height in his energy system.
Hum. A black door slowly unfolded before him, radiating a mysterious and profound light.
“Goodbye, Shinobi World,” Naruto said softly, stepping resolutely into it.
As the door closed, Sasuke in the Shinobi World seemed to sense something. He looked up at the deep blue sky, tears glistening in his eyes.
“Goodbye, my friend.”
