Chapter 117: Aoki Feels Bored

However, Aoki's presence changed everything. Aoki managed to give Sakumo a reason to continue living.

"Sakumo should no longer exist," Aoki whispered softly. But in reality, Sakumo was still alive, and that brought significant changes to the future, especially for Kakashi.

However, it wasn't just Sakumo whose fate changed. There were also two women now closely connected to Aoki—Mei Terumi and Shizune Kato. These two women played important roles in the history of this world.

Mei, who was supposed to be a strong and charismatic leader in Kirigakure, now had a special relationship with Aoki, even if she was unaware of it. And Shizune, who was meant to lead a life of dedication under Tsunade's guidance, now had complicated feelings for Aoki.

Aoki took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the sky. Aoki knew that changing their destinies might have consequences he did not fully understand.

Would this be a good change? Or would it bring disaster?

Aoki had no answers. This world was so complex, and every decision Aoki made felt like dropping a stone into a still pond—the ripples spread far, affecting things he couldn't even see.

However, one thing Aoki was sure of: he had to keep moving forward, facing whatever came in the future. If the changes he made turned out to bring disaster, then Aoki would be responsible for fixing it.

"All I can do is wait and see," Aoki murmured, his low voice drowned out by the sound of trickling water.

Time seemed to pass quickly. It had been almost three weeks since Aoki set foot in the Valley of Hell, a place that had now changed significantly from its original form.

Previously, the valley was just a barren land filled with rough rocks, dry soil, and boiling hot springs that bubbled like repressed anger.

But now, under Aoki's hands and ideas, the Valley of Hell had transformed into a small village full of life. Dozens of houses, big and small, stood proudly in the vast expanse of the valley.

The houses were built with makeshift materials, but sturdy enough to provide shelter from the biting night winds.

After the houses were completed for the working women Aoki brought to the valley, Aoki felt empty again.

Aoki sat on a large rock, contemplating while gazing at the crimson horizon in the west. Then, a crazy idea popped into Aoki's mind—training the women.

"Why not?" Aoki murmured with a smirk on his face.

Aoki decided to train their physical abilities, teaching them how to sense and manage chakra, as well as introducing basic fighting techniques.

The reason? Because Aoki was bored. So bored that he didn't know what else to do to fill his time in the quiet valley.

The training began simply—running around the valley, push-ups, and basic movements to strengthen their bodies. However, like most things Aoki did, this training quickly turned hard and brutal.

Every day, Aoki pushed the women beyond their limits. He did not hesitate to scold or even humiliate those who gave up along the way.

Bruised bodies, blood dripping from wounds, even broken bones became commonplace under his supervision. But for Aoki, it was all just part of the process.

Of course, at first, many complained. Some women tried to escape from this hellish training, but Aoki always managed to find them, whether through cunning or sharp instincts.

Each time they returned, Aoki smiled with a look that seemed to say, You can't run from me.

However, over time, miracles began to happen. Their once weak bodies started to harden.
