Accepting the truth! The ruins behind the waterfall

Killer B Bee didn't even dare to think about successfully completing the cultivation. He asked, "Shinki, you've given up on cultivation so quickly?"

Shinki shrugged, revealing an indifferent expression. "No, I guess I've succeeded in my cultivation, right? ┐(´-`)┌"

Killer B:(´°Δ°`)

Naruto nearby, asked anxiously, "You didn't fight him? Did you win? (๑ʘ̅ д ʘ̅๑)!!"

Come to think of it, this does fit Shinki's style, after all, he seems to have never lost... But to win against himself is just too outrageous!

Shinki waved his hand. "Why fight? He already said he's another version of me. Just accept it. ┐(´-`)┌"

"Gulp~" Killer B swallowed hard!

The practice of the Waterfall of Truth is essentially about helping the practitioner accept their true, dark self.

It sounds simple, but if a cultivator harbors any resistance or reservations, the cultivation will not succeed.

The very goal of cultivating the Waterfall of Truth is difficult enough, let alone achieving complete acceptance.

Even the incredibly optimistic Killer B took half an hour to complete this training.

As for Shinki, from the moment he sat down to the moment he successfully cultivated, it took less than a minute, just the time it took to say a couple of sentences!

That's terrifying!

Shinki, standing to the side, said with a hint of lingering enjoyment, "But it's really nice to talk to myself. I don't even have to say anything, and he knows what I'm thinking ( ˝ᗢ̈˝ )... It's a pity we can't talk like that anymore."

Naruto was standing to the side, seemed to awaken from a dream after listening to Shinki's training insights.

"Smack!"

He slapped his forehead and exclaimed excitedly, "I understand!"

Beneath the Waterfall of Truth, Naruto trains for the second time, sitting cross-legged.

Red Eye Naruto emerged once again from under the waterfall's curtain of water.

He said, "Do we still want to fight? I've said it before, I am you, and our fight will be a draw."

Naruto laughed, "I already know that."

"Since you are the real me, you should now know what I'm thinking."

"Indeed, I was jealous of Shinki and resented the villagers, but that was the real me."

"And things are different now. I have companions, and I am admired and trusted by the villagers..."

"Although I'm still a little upset that Hokage was chosen as Shinki, I'm also genuinely happy for Shinki!"

"Besides, it's normal for sixteen or seventeen-year-olds to feel a little jealous. (´つヮ⊂︎)"

Shinki once said, "A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions."

After Naruto finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked step by step towards his own reflection with red eyes.

He opened his arms and pulled the other person into his embrace.

"You've endured my darkness and negativity, it must have been tough for you. (๑╹ヮ╹๑)ﾉ"

Red-Eyed Naruto, stared blankly, his lips pursed, speechless for a moment.

Gradually, his body became ethereal, eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing beneath the waterfall.

In the real world, Naruto, sitting on the rock, opened his eyes and chuckled.

Seeing Naruto's condition, Shinki knew, "It seems Naruto has also successfully completed his training."

Killer B to the side: ∑(О)

What's going on with all of this in Konoha?!

When did Naruto become so smart?

Could it be that he, like the unrevealed Shinki in the Yuhi, is also playing dumb to deceive others?!

However, Killer B soon discovered that Naruto, even after successfully completing his training, was still the same hot-blooded idiot.

"Looks like I was just overthinking it," Killer B thought to himself.

Then, to prevent these two people from becoming too complacent with their rapid cultivation, he deliberately said, "You two shouldn't be so smug. Your cultivation of the Waterfall of Truth has only just begun."

"Back then, my cultivation speed was much faster than both of yours! (·'ヘ´·;)"

Upon hearing this, a Cloud Village ninja nearby reminded him, "Lord Killer Bee, it took you about half an hour to complete your True Waterfall training, while Mr. Kamiki only took less than a minute, and even Naruto Uzumaki only took less than twenty minutes. They were all faster than you..."

Killer B: "If you don't speak, nobody will think you're mute! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ) "

After roaring, Killer B stormed off towards the waterfall.

Then, his body passed right through the curtain of water!

Clearly, there's a hidden paradise beyond this waterfall!

Inside the Shinki, the Four-Tails Son Goku, sealed within the space, exclaimed with interest, "Water Curtain Cave, I know it well!"

Six-Tails teased, "What kind of Water Curtain Cave do you live in? Can it compare to this place?"

The Three-Tails nodded. "There's a peculiar Chakra fluctuation behind this waterfall; it's very strange."

Six-Tails continued, "By the way, why do you think Shinki came to this place to train? He's so strong, he doesn't need to use his abilities at all."

"Besides, if he wants power, we can just lend it to him."

Four-Tails: "You saw it yourself, it's a 'borrow'."

Six-Tails: "Shh~ Shut up!"

At the foot of the waterfall, Shinki followed Naruto Killer B in.

Behind him, Might Guy first looked at the group of Shinki walking ahead, then at the Kumogakure guarding the waterfall, and finally decided to follow them in.

However, before going in, he also wanted to sit on the rock under the Waterfall of Truth!

Men, after all, are still a little curious! (◔◡◔)

As Might Guy sat cross-legged, one second... two seconds...

Half a minute later, Kai opened his eyes, his mind filled with questions.

"There's nothing here! What kind of cultivation is this? How strange! (￢‸￢)?"

After muttering to himself, Kai followed in Shinki's footsteps.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave.

Naruto exclaimed in admiration, "There's such a large area behind the waterfall! Who built this? It's truly amazing! (▿▿)"

Killer B replied, "I don't know."

Shinki was also surveying the vast, empty Ruins. Now he finally understood why Kumogakure regarded this place as a crucial location.

Then, he looked up at the huge rock paintings on the wall in front of him. The rough lines outlined several strangely shaped giant beasts!

Shinki asked, "Is that Tailed Beast depicted on this? It's drawn rather abstractly!"

Killer B clearly didn't know either. "How would I know? Maybe it's some other, even more terrifying monster. ┐(´-`)┌"

Naruto pointed to a painting. "This painting looks just like Killer B his octopus form! (′▽`)╯"

Killer B: "No way! The Eight-Tails doesn't look this sloppy! (′д`σ)σ"

Shinki, looking around, continued, "Why are all these tall stone statues on both sides of the road headless?"

"And looking at the gaps in the necks of these stone statues, it doesn't seem like they were like that when they were built... Could it be that someone took them away by some method?"

Killer B: "Why do you ask so many questions...? Stay close to me, the place ahead is where you'll obtain the power of the Tailed Beasts!"

After saying that, Killer B quickened his pace and led Naruto Shinki a doorway to a huge beast head relief!
