Damn, failed again! That guy is just too strong!" Naruto, who reopened his eyes from the cobblestone in the middle of the waterhole, returned to the real world again, thinking about the previous battle with his other self, and suddenly his face showed a strong look of unwillingness.

He's played each other three times, and each time it's ended in a close match.

No matter what measures he takes, the other party can always solve it easily and fight back.

It's the same on his side, it's as if the battle between them is completely open and transparent, even if it's not the same character, but the rest of the way is not the least different.

Such a strange and powerful opponent, Naruto had only seen this once in his life.

The various strong enemies I have encountered in the past cannot be compared with my other self.

This kind of battle was the most helpless and desperate for Naruto. "Stupid~~Bastard~~ is too obsessed with victory, so he still hasn't achieved anything. You've picked the wrong way to fight."

A strange voice sounded, making Naruto feel familiar, and he turned back in shock, only to see that there was one more person beside Samui and Tenzo, and it was Kirabi.

"Eh, you're Uncle Eight-Tails? How did you end up here?" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

"Ahem, Naruto, be polite, don't make such a fuss."

Tenzo coughed and secretly reminded Naruto not to make Kirabi angry anymore.

"Uh... I'm really sorry that day." Naruto jumped onto the shore and bowed down to Kirabi in earnest and apologized, "That's all your self-created songs, I'll reflect on it."

"Oh..." Kirabi stared at Naruto, who was bending down and bowing to apologize to him, but he didn't expect the other party to be a straightforward actionist, and his expression was slightly more serious, "Today's attitude looks very similar to that."

"So uncle, are you willing to forgive me?" Naruto asked, looking up expectantly.

"There's nothing to forgive or not forgive, that kind of trivial matter, I have never taken it to heart, as a junior, you have to respect your predecessors well. But if you really don't want to go, then the next time you come to my concert, you can feel the power of songs, and it will definitely be remembered for a lifetime."

.....」

Samui quietly took two more steps back, his gaze skimming to one side, as if he couldn't bear to see it.

"Yes, please let me participate!"

Naruto felt that this was a great opportunity to get to know Kirabi, so he agreed without thinking about it.

And with Naruto's decisive consent, Kirabi's attitude finally eased a lot.

"So, let's make a fist first."

Kirabi stretched out a fist and placed it in front of Naruto. "Bumping fists?"

Naruto was puzzled, but he did as Kirabi asked, extending his right fist and lightly touching Kirabi's fist.

"Uh-huh.....

After the fist bump with Naruto last night, Kirabi instead fell into deep thought.

"What's wrong, Uncle Eight-Tails?"

Naruto saw Kirabi pondering, clearly thinking about something.

"Your mind is really chaotic, and you have a lot of things to think, but it seems to be completely out of order, completely different from the Yugi people I used to teach."

Qirabi withdrew his fist and said.

"Can Mr. Kirabi even see that?" Tenzo on the side was surprised.

Samui replied, "Probably a special induction that only exists between human and pillar forces. Although the villages are different, the experiences are basically the same, and I can empathize with them."

"Naruto, right, from your chakra, I can feel that you always like to force yourself to do things that you can't do at all, and this behavior is very bad."

Chirabi said earnestly.

"But because we can't do it, shouldn't we work harder to complete it? If it's something that can be done easily, then there's no point."

Naruto responded to the question.

"How can it not be meaningful? It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that you force yourself that you will not be able to defeat the other self. However, I can also understand this mentality, because in the past, I was like you, trying hard to be recognized by everyone, respected by everyone, and change everyone's perception of myself..... However, in the end, I realized that I was too tired to live in this way. Besides, no matter how far I go, people who don't like me will still hate me. To this day, there are still many people in the village who hold a grudge against me and even plan to get rid of me secretly."

Kirabi's tone was very relaxed, as if he was talking about a very small thing, perhaps not caring about his own safety at all, he had something more important than his life.

It was the first time Naruto had heard this statement, so he froze for a moment.

Samui was also silent, unable to refute Kirabi's words.

Even though he is the younger brother of Lei Ying, as long as there is still the identity of human pillar power, he will be discriminated against and treated as an outlier by some people. "But..... Uncle Yatail, aren't you a perfect human pillar force? In that case, there would be no tailed beast rampage at all, shouldn't it be .....

"The prejudice in people's hearts will not change depending on what kind of person you become, and even if you change a person, there will still be countless people who will secretly point fingers at you. All you have to do is accept them, and then let them ignore them, and let this prejudice become the nourishment for you to become stronger." "Accept?"

"Yes, the reason why you can't defeat your other self is not because you don't have enough strength, but because you don't realize in your heart that he is not your enemy. The more you try to beat, the more you get yourself bruised, and the more you try to change something, the more you make things worse. In life, there will always be things that we are unable to change, and this is not something that can be changed by hard work."

Kirabi's words touched Naruto's heart.

A figure appeared in his mind, and the expression on his face couldn't help but darken.

"Looks like you understand, so let's go in again now, and don't get into trouble again in this kind of thing."

The corners of Kirabi's mouth cracked, and he smiled encouragingly, and solemnly patted Naruto on the shoulder.

"I see, Uncle Eight-Tails."

Naruto cleaned up the loss in his heart and replied firmly.

Immediately, he jumped back onto the cobblestone in the middle of the waterhole, pressed the water against the waterfall, and closed his eyes.

"Mr. Kirabi seems to know Naruto well." Tianzang said curiously at this time.

Kirabi nodded and responded, "The current Naruto is the same person I used to be. Although I haven't read Naruto's materials, I can imagine his childhood life in Konoha. Some people in Konoha will not weaken their prejudice against him because he is the son of a hero. Just because he is the embodiment of the Nine-Tails, that is enough for them to be prejudiced in their hearts."

「.... That's what I said." Tenzo nodded silently.

It seems that even if he is a perfect human pillar force Eight-tails who is highly respected by the Yunyin ninja, he also has an extremely bumpy life.

It's just that the other party has experienced more things than Naruto, so he has achieved this state of invisibility of joy and anger.

The funny self-created rap is not only his hobby, but also an expression of his joy and love for life. This is a special thing that only people with scars in their hearts can have.

"There is black and white in this world, and the same is true of us, not only human strength. To destroy the darkness is to destroy ourselves. How can you win with the same way you look at the enemy, how can you look at the other self?"

Kirabi said.

"True strength is not to destroy the darkness in our own hearts, to simply avoid it, but not to let the darkness wear out the hope in our hearts, even under the shroud of darkness. If you can do this, you will be considered to have passed the first hurdle." "It's very difficult for us adults to do this kind of thing."

Tenzo was a little worried.

The general way for people to deal with the darkness in their hearts is to suppress it

, cold treatment, constant accumulation, instead of acceptance, let the darkness become a part of yourself, let alone maintain yourself under such negative energy.

If this kind of thing can really be done so easily, in the previous ninja world wars, there will not be a large number of people, all of whom have psychological problems, and then be put in a heavy prison for special treatment.

"Maybe Naruto's experience is still a lot different from ours, but he is the most sensitive to things like pain and strange eyes."

Compared with Tenzo, who led the team to Shinobi and Kirabi, who was the same pillar force as Naruto, he was very confident in Naruto.

Such a scene, in Samui's eyes, is so weird no matter how you look at it.

"Here you go again, you're really persevering, I've said it many times, you can't defeat me."

Naruto's hands were in his pants pockets, and in a mocking gesture, he looked at Naruto who had appeared in front of him again.

"Ah, I finally understand this now."

Acknowledging Naruto's words, Naruto nodded. "Finally understood?"

'Naruto' tilted his head.

"There is no way to defeat you by force, and I already know the truth of this matter."

"Interesting? How can you defeat the enemy without relying on force?" 'Naruto' said with a sneer.

"Don't pretend." Naruto stretched out his finger and pointed to his head, saying, "Since you're another me, then you know exactly what's going on in my head right now. Or do you want me to say it 1510?"

.」

Naruto chose to be silent, as if he had been struck by the words. "I'm sorry, I've been misunderstanding you before, saying that you are an impostor, you must have been angry at my self-righteous thoughts before."

Naruto looked at it with a serious gaze at this time.

「.... Idiot, don't say such misleading things. You say I know what's going on in your head, this kind of thing, how can I be a-"

"Before Naruto could finish speaking, Naruto had already rushed up and punched him in the head.

However, as if knowing that this was Naruto's feint, he didn't hesitate to move his hand down and catch the punch that wanted to bombard his chest.

"Naruto' gritted his teeth in resentment.

Naruto smiled as if he had succeeded in his plan.

"Look, isn't that entirely a prophet?"

"You guy, I'm going to kill you! And those self-righteous bastards!"

Naruto's body was exposed with a furious murderous aura, shaking the entire land with shock.

"Is that what you think?" Naruto asked.

"Of course, I hate you, and I hate everyone out there. You have no idea what the hell I've been through, being treated like this by those bastard villagers, the pain in my heart, and I want to vent it. It's not my fault, but they want to put all kinds of faults on me, and in the end they want me to protect them.... No matter how you think about this kind of thing, you still can't forgive it! If I slaughter them, the wounds in my heart will be healed!"

Naruto yelled excitedly, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment and resentment over the years on Naruto.

「.... Indeed, some people in the village, even after knowing the truth, still stubbornly believe that we are the embodiment of demons, evil people who destroy the peace of the village. These biases don't change as we change. I've always understood these things, but I have chosen to ignore them."

"Then stand on my side, as long as we join forces, no one in this world is our opponent! Use our strength to wash away all shame!"

Naruto's fists clenched, his face full of murderous energy.

"Perhaps, but not for everyone. I can't hate everyone because of the prejudice of some people. If we do it your way, what difference will we make from those people?"

"Jing can say big things, so you can't achieve anything until now. It's good for Sasuke, it's right for the card

Cassie, Sakura, and others who betrayed us! Have you ever thought about my feelings? Those weak mercy, shameful concessions, I will crush it completely!"

With that, Naruto swung out a fist with raging flames, and flew straight towards Naruto, hitting him directly.

Boom!

The space violently shook the moment the fist touched Naruto's body.

However, the strange thing is that Naruto stood still in place, which was enough to cause the air to vibrate with a ferocious punch, hitting Naruto's body, but it did not cause any effect, Naruto's body did not even shake, and he was unharmed.

"Naruto's expression was stunned, as if he hadn't expected this outcome, not knowing what had gone wrong.

"As a community of life, how can we, whether intentionally or unintentionally, hurt ourselves. I'm sorry, I've cared so much about myself all these years, but I haven't taken your feelings into account, and it must be painful to wander alone in the dark."

Naruto hugged 'Naruto', and the moment he hugged him, he could clearly feel the rapid heartbeat in the other person's heart, as well as the deep loneliness.

"You bastard--"

Naruto struggled violently, as if trying to break free.

But Naruto used more force, making it impossible for him to resist.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you again. Be one with me again, and thank you for all you have done for me." "You idiot."

"Naruto's voice grew quieter and quieter, sounding a little choked, and eventually, his body turned into scattered dots of light in the glow of light, dissipating into the air.

"Let's agree with you this time, if you give me another answer that I don't like, I'll ..... Appear in front of you again and dominate everything you have! Also, stop showing mercy to Sasuke and his men, and if you stand in front of the road, kill them decisively!"

In the air, Naruto's last words remained, like advice, alerting Naruto's next move.

Naruto looked at the point of light that was gradually dissipating, and his eyes were full of sadness.

"I will..... Because it's the choice we make in our hearts right now." It's like talking to yourself, and it's like answering another self, telling him the final answer.

......

"Huh? There's movement."

Samui saw Naruto on the cobblestone in the middle of the waterhole, his body suddenly trembled, and the violent aura on his body gradually calmed down, filled with a calming tranquility instead of chaos.

"How did it turn out?"

Tenzo looked at Naruto's back.

"Do you need to talk about that? Of course it worked."

The corners of Kirabi's mouth twitched slightly, as if she had foreseen this outcome, and smiled confidently and unconfused.

Sure enough, presumably hearing Kirabi's words, Naruto on the cobblestone turned his head and smiled brightly, equally confidently, at him.

"Great, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now." It also seemed to understand that Naruto's training had been cleared, and Tenzo was greatly relieved.

"It's still early, it's just an appetizer, and then there's the real battle. After all, the opponent after that is the Nine-Tails. Naruto, rest for two days first and adjust your condition to the best!"

Kirabi didn't rejoice too soon.

He knew that Naruto had only completed the first level, and it was only the most basic part.

Unlike this level, the next level, which is the last level, requires all your might, otherwise it will ..... will die.

O: "Huh?"

Shiraishi, who was dealing with pre-war affairs in the office, sensed the message from the shadow clone, and without thinking about it, he put down the affairs in his hand and used the teleportation technique to rush to his laboratory as quickly as possible.

In the white room, which is wide and almost decluttered, is the room where Ayane uses to absorb the Ten Tails Chakra.

Beside her, there stood a shadow clone of Shiraishi, and when he saw his own body arrive, he put his hands on his hands

The seal, unraveling the shadow clone technique, disappeared into the smoke and dust.

At the moment when the shadow clone disappeared, Ayane, who had originally maintained the seal and closed her eyes, showed that her eyelids trembled twice, and then slowly struggled to raise her eyelids, and the slight purple light was dense in the pure white eyes, revealing a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

The breath of the whole person fell into a wonderful tranquility, but this tranquility gave people the feeling of a fierce beast dormant looking for prey.

"Hmm..."

Maybe it was standing motionless for many days, making her body almost ossify, Ayane stretched her waist, revealing her plump and beautiful figure, while the bones of her whole body crackled like rust, and the shocking sense of oppression was also hidden by her and disappeared.

Obviously, she has been able to make good use of the extra power in her body, after all, in terms of chakra control, there are not many people in the ninja world today who can compare to Ayane. "Looks like you took in the ten-tailed chakra that you swallowed in your stomach." Shiraishi said.

"Well, except for a little bit of unaccustomation, the rest should be fine. However, in my current state, I should be regarded as a human pillar force."

Ayane gently touched her chest, and she could feel the heart in her body beating strongly.

A sense of power that is more abundant than in the past is slowly hidden in the body.

With just one thought, she can mobilize it anytime and anywhere.

"More precisely, like the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, it is a ninja who can independently stimulate the Tailed Beast Chakra, compared to the human pillar power." Shiraishi replied.

Although Ayane fused with the chakra of the Ten Tails, strictly speaking, this is not a human pillar force.

The flesh and blood that had been digested became a part of Ayane's body, and it was impossible to separate them.

Therefore, it is not so much the power of the human pillar, but the hybrid who inherited the bloodline of the tailed beast and the human.

Although it can use the Tailed Beast Chakra, it is not the same concept as the human pillar force.

"So, what are the specific changes after fusing that part of the ten-tailed chakra?"

Shiraishi asked.

Although the conservative measure of separating the connection between the two in the event of a failure was previously retained, now that it has succeeded, Shiraishi's curiosity is naturally aroused.

He believed that Ayane's eyes were not just changing some colors.

There should be something more essential, guided out by the power of the Ten Tails.

After all, the white eye, the writing wheel eye, the reincarnation eye, the tailed beast, and even more blood inheritance limits, the ultimate source is the ten tails.

With the Ten Tails as the incarnation, the large barrel of wood Kaguya is also a well-deserved ancestor of Chakra.

"The specific needs to be tested after actual combat, but the body does have a lot of changes, and I feel that even if I use the full force of the Divine Air Strike, probably this body can withstand it on its own, so that I won't lose my arm when I run out."

The power of the Divine Strike depends on the amount of chakra provided by the sorcerer. Under normal circumstances, Ayane will only use three or four percent of the force's divine air strike, and when she encounters an equal strong enemy, she will basically only use seventy percent of her strength, and she will need to self-harm her body to release it.

After each use, you need Baishi's immortal art for medical treatment, otherwise it will affect your combat effectiveness.

"Is that so? That's good news, and it will save me a lot of chakra."

Restoring the crippled arm to its entirety requires a lot of fairy chakra.

If Ayane can completely withstand the backlash of the divine air strike on her own, Shiraishi can also relieve a lot of burden.

"What else? Like, messages and stuff like that?" Shiraishi said this, and there is a basis for it.

Chakra's ability to carry consciousness also means that it can be used as a tool to store the flow of information.

It's like Indra.

As long as it is a chakra, it has this property.

It can also be said to be a special inheritance hidden in the chakra.

He believes that the ten-tailed chakra, and the white eye, should be able to show an interactive relationship, rather than no connection.

"In this way, there is indeed some incomprehensible information that suddenly appears in my mind, but these messages are not organized at all, and I don't know how to use them."

Ayane frowned, feeling the extra part of her brain with her memory.

She knew that it was something that the Ten Tails Chakra had brought with her.

"It seems that it is because it is not complete, but unfortunately, the ten-tailed flesh and blood cultivated in my hands is already the last. The rest will take time, and we won't be able to catch up with it until the end of the Fifth Ninja World War."

Shiraishi sighed.

"My problem is solved, how is Liuli's side? Is there a result?"

Ayane was concerned about other issues. "She seems to be there..."

As Bai Shi was about to say something, a strange aura of terror came from another laboratory not far away, a familiar chakra aura.

Ayane was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the purple light in her white eyes seemed to be even more illusory and mysterious.

"Shiraishi-kun, you'd like to know what happened to my eyes. Look, isn't that just the right time to come?"
