Self Belief

"Let's start the plan from now on." Back home, Naruto opened the book and read it carefully, but his thoughts were already far away.

Everything that happened today was something he had carefully thought about.

He was confident that the higher-ups of Konoha, led by Sandaime, would not have any thoughts of violating ethics and ethics because of his exposed 'Kekkei genkai'.

Naruto had worked hard to manage the Will of Fire's character in the past few years. He studied hard and tried to help the villagers every day.

Although he won cold treatment many times, this perseverance was seen by Sandaime.

Humans were not plants, which could be ruthless.

No matter how cold the hearts of these rulers were, they would still be affected by their feelings.

This was also the reason why formality was so necessary.

Naruto had once seen the system of a country from the knowledge of the modern world.

Fair and just.

But everywhere was a formality.

The so-called formality was to show the appearance of the leader and the people who wanted to see it, which would make everyone feel touched.

It was also the so-called show.

This was what Naruto was doing now.

He used his own Will of Fire to move Sandaime.

No matter how profound the misunderstanding among the villagers was, they were still full of love for Konoha, eager to ignite themselves and offer themselves.

A spark can also start a prairie fire, and it will eventually turn into sparks.

Let Will of Fire ignite Konoha.

Reality proved that the formality had already succeeded.

In Sandaime's eyes, he had already been successfully brainwashed.

At this time, if he revealed a certain amount of talent, it would be a bonus.

Naruto chose to expose his own Kyōka Suigetsu.

First, in other people's eyes, Kyōka Suigetsu could only be considered a Genjutsu type Kekkei genkai. Through the refraction of water and light, he could not even be called Genjutsu. At most, it could be regarded as an illusion.

Although this Kekkei genkai didn't sound very high-end, he was good at using it in combat. Sandaime would look forward to this Kekkei genkai, hoping to see him ultimately develop Kyōka Suigetsu. At that time, he would become the sharpest sword in Konoha.

Secondly, people who have seen the Kyōka Suigetsu will enter a hypnotic state permanently. With Naruto's reiatsu and his chakra, hypnosis is not easy for students to endure.

Perhaps it was Sandaime's arrangement. There were many geniuses from prominent clans in this year's students.

Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hyuga Hinata could grow into Jonin in the future or even surpass Jonin.

From now on, letting them fall into Kyōka Suigetsu's trap was a foolproof plan.

This was the plan that Naruto had planned for a long time.

Naruto put down the book, simply washed up, and fell asleep.

...

"Plunk" The familiar sound of dripping water rang out. Naruto woke up and saw the blue sky.

The cold wind was chilly, and every breath he exhaled seemed to freeze instantly.

Small snow drifted in the sky, adding a touch of snow on the cliff.

Naruto got up. The howling wind around him made his white robe flutter. Below his feet was a cliff above the abyss. If he were careless, he would fall into the abyss.

The depth made people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

This was the sealed space where Aizen was located.

"I haven't been here for a long time," Naruto murmured and looked at the cliff's highest point. Sure enough, a figure quietly sat at the top of the cliff. No matter how fierce the wind was, it was still motionless.

"Mr. Aizen." Naruto walked in front of Aizen and greeted him respectfully.

Aizen opened his eyes and looked at the ice and snow falling on the cliff before him. He could not help but sigh, "It is good to see such a beautiful scene of ice and snow in such a steep place."

"Naruto, long time no see." He raised his head and looked at Naruto, his tone gentle.

"..."

"Yes, it has been a long time. Mr. Aizen, I have now mastered Kyōka Suigetsu's Shikai and the Primary level Kidō."

"Is that so? Time flies." Aizen's eyes were blurred as if he was thinking about something.

Naruto's talent was shocking. In just a few years, he had achieved other cultivation that Shinigami might not be able to complete in a hundred years.

Perhaps, this was the infinite possibility of human existence.

In the research of Shinigami and Hollow, Aizen found that the human being, regarded as prey by Hollow and Shinigami as a weakling, actually had potential that ordinary people could not ignore.

Whether it was Naruto from Ninja's world or Kurosaki Ichigo from Shinigami's world, they were all so unique.

Thinking of this, Aizen looked at Naruto.

The latter's outfit and smile were so similar to his. It was like they were carved from the same mold.

In the past, Aizen would not say anything, but now, he was full of expectations for Naruto's future, and his requirements for him would naturally be different.

"Naruto, have you ever thought about your goal?" he asked.

"A goal? Of course, it is to possess power that surpasses everything, to transcend the world and stand in the sky," Naruto said matter-of-factly.

"Standing in the sky?" Aizen fell into deep thought. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about whether that is your goal or mine?"

Naruto stood rooted to the ground, a stunned expression appearing on his face.

He recalled Aizen's teachings all along.

From this, he understood Aizen's goal, Aizen's pattern and worshipped him.

He hoped to become like Aizen, so Naruto immediately imitated him.

At first, he was a little unfamiliar, but he gradually became more skilled.

"Right now, I can only see my shadow on you." Aizen's gentle voice rang in his ears. "Naruto, your talent is very outstanding. You should have your own beliefs. Only then will you be qualified to be my opponent."

...

Leaving the sealed space, Naruto found it hard to fall asleep.

He got up and looked at the starry night sky through the window.

The forest under the night sky was so quiet, but there were many reactions from Chakra, who was next to his house.

They sometimes hid in the dense leaves of the big trees and occasionally next to the house.

But no matter their posture, they did not fall asleep, and they were still working hard to 'guard'.

It was not until late at night that other Ninja would change shifts.

Their task was not to monitor but to protect.

As Kyubi's Jinchuriki, Naruto was Konoha's most crucial war resource, and he had to be protected.

This was Ninja.

Naruto closed the curtains.

He suddenly felt a little disgusted.

At the same time, he was also a little confused.

What was his path?

Become Ninja?

Hiding and assassination were all Ninja's daily routine.

But to tell the truth, he was not interested in becoming Ninja.

He only wanted that Konoha would no longer bind his future self. He could do anything, improve the pattern, and see the essence.

The world is vast, and I want to see it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became enlightened.

This was his goal.

This time, he was no longer deliberately imitating Aizen.

Instead, he sincerely wanted to surpass everything, possess the power to transcend Ninja's world, control his fate, and stand in the sky.
