Naruto Rarely stayed up all night.
After thoroughly understanding the principle of [Multiplying Explosive Tags], he turned his attention to another more taboo technique on the scroll - [Impure World Reincarnation Zhuan].
The more in-depth he studied, the more amazed he became about Second Hokage Tobirama Senju. He was simply a genius.
Generally speaking, the application logic of Summoning Jutsu is to summon a living creature that has signed a contract with the caster, Mount Myōboku, Toad, or Enma Clan, an ape.
However, Tobirama Senju actually took a different approach and extended the concept of "channelling" to the field of connecting Pure Land and summoning the souls of the dead! This kind of imagination and development ability that subverts the limit of death makes Naruto secretly dumbfounded.
With such level of imagination and execution ability, it would be really unfair not to give Second Hokage a stand-in or a devil fruit.
Although for now, Naruto doesn't know what he can do with [Impure World Reincarnation zhuan] - to summon his deceased ancestors or parents to come out and chat?
But with such a powerful and unique technique before his eyes, he decided to memorize as much of its theoretical essence as possible in his mind based on the principle of "many skills do not overwhelm the body". Perhaps this knowledge will be of critical use in the future.
Early the next morning, Team 7 was the usual meeting place.
Because he stayed up late studying the scroll, Naruto inevitably had two faint dark circles under his eyes, and his spirit was also slightly tired, which was not easy to detect.
However, to his slight surprise, he noticed that Satsuki also had a faint shadow under his eyes, indicating that he was also sleep deprived.
But contrary to her slightly tired appearance, it was her mental state - her dark eyes were particularly bright, and even faintly shone with some indescribable, satisfied and joyful brilliance. The corners of her mouth were also slightly raised, and her whole person exuded a light atmosphere of "having encountered something extremely happy and good".
As the date of Chunin Ninja Exams approaches, Team 7 will receive simple tasks in the near future without leaving the village. Naruto did notice that the streets of Konoha were much busier than before. There were many unfamiliar faces wearing the clothes of other Ninja Village Forehead Protector, and there was a faint sense of tension in the air that a storm was about to come.
Facing the upcoming exam, Sakura Haruno seemed particularly nervous. He was reciting theoretical knowledge in his mouth, and his eyes showed self-doubt from time to time, unsure whether he really had the strength to pass the examination.
In stark contrast to her is Uchiha Satsuki. His expression was as calm as ever, even with a sense of certainty.
In her opinion, with the strength of her and Naruto, there is no doubt that passing Chunin Ninja Exams is the result.
As for Uzumaki Naruto, his thoughts have already flown to Chunin Ninja Exams. At this moment, he was repeatedly weighing the variables in his mind regarding Orochimaru and its "Konoha Crush Plan".
Chunin Ninja Exams? Participating in this kind of exam with Naruto's current strength is basically a dimensionality reduction attack. Not to mention those Genin, even the strongest Gaara and Naruto in front of them are no different from wild cats walking on the roadside.
Even if One-Tails Shukaku inside the body loses control and goes berserk, it will only be more troublesome at best.
Orochimaru? He will never come back!
However, Naruto thought deeply, this time, will the story develop like the original? The impact of the butterfly effect cannot be ignored.
The most critical variable lies in the [Jin] organization created by Naruto himself. The concept of this organization has long been spread throughout Ninja World - to use absolute force to deter and forcibly stop wars between countries.
To put it simply, "I will kill anyone who dares to start a war." And [Great Spiraling Ring], which "Menma" had demonstrated, was enough to destroy an entire village in an instant, adding Shen Yan's bargaining chip to this deterrence.
In this context, will Sand Village really form an alliance with Orochimaru as easily as in the original work, and risk launching an attack on Konoha? Aren't they worried about the involvement and revenge of the [Jhin] organization?
But when Naruto thought that the current Kazekage was that Rasa, the doubts that had just arisen were shaken again.
If Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi seems indecisive in some decisions, I can't say it's bad, but it's a bit stupid.
Then Fourth Kazekage Rasa is simply stupid and bad.
The way Rasa treats his son Gaara, the cold eyes and isolation Naruto suffered when Konoha was called "Demon Fox", are like living in heaven in comparison.
This guy literally pushed his own son into the abyss step by step.
Gaara is an ordinary child. One-Tails Shukaku was forcibly sealed as soon as he was born, in order to become the village's "ultimate warrior". Even though the violent "Great Tanuki" in his body was whispering and threatening in his mind all the time, trying to erode his will, the young Gaara still maintained a kind nature at first, trying hard to get close to his sister Temari and brother Kankuro, and longing for the recognition and warmth of his family.
For such a young child to endure the mental pollution of Tailed Beast for a long time, coupled with the torment of being deprived of sleep, to be able to persist until later before losing control and going berserk, this is a ridiculously strong willpower.
However, what did Rasa, the father, do when he lost control for the first time under the influence of Gaara and Shukaku and was subsequently suppressed? When he was at his most vulnerable, exhausted and on the verge of collapse, what did Rasa, the father, do?
Instead of giving his son any comfort, guidance or substantial help, he took extremely cruel measures and actively evacuated the villagers away from Gaara, completely isolating him. What is even more outrageous is that he actually sent Ninja to assassinate his own son many times!
The euphemistic name is, "Test whether Gaara can still control Shukaku and judge his value as a warrior."
This kind of logic is comparable to that of a guy with blue and yellow colors who has "amazing wisdom".
This is like a doctor facing a patient with a cold. Instead of giving any treatment, he throws the patient directly into an ice cave, euphemistically called "testing the patient's cold tolerance and survival potential."
The results can be imagined. Rasa This series of ruthless actions successfully turned his son, who still had warmth in his heart, into a bloodthirsty monster who closed his heart and only believed in killing.
But in the end, the culprit who single-handedly caused the tragedy came to the conclusion that Gaara, the "Warrior", was not stable enough and of insufficient value?
Later, Orochimaru assassinated Rasa. From a certain point of view, it was considered a good thing.
Thinking of this, Naruto suddenly made a decision in his heart.
Forget it, if this guy Chunin Ninja Exams is lucky enough not to die in the hands of Orochimaru... When the exam is over, we will find a way to bring Gaara to the [Jin] organization.
At least there, he could feel what true companions were, and what was pure warmth and value that did not need to be proven by killing.
In Chunin Ninja Exams, try to persuade him after defeating Gaara. Naruto has a headache. He is obviously the worst at preaching.
