Naruto? The Savior of the Shinobi World? Him?

What was even more terrifying was that, according to Kitahara Kaede's Diary, there was more than one person capable of destroying the world. The waters of the Shinobi World ran deep. Only now did he finally understand what that meant.

This was not merely deep. It was unfathomably deep.

So they had all been active in the shallow waters of the Shinobi World before?

This world was so dangerous!

He suddenly understood why Kitahara Kaede had seemed so lacking in security in his diary. If anyone knew that Konoha would be wiped out by a single strike in the future, they probably would not feel very secure either.

Speaking of which, could Ichiraku Ramen, which had withstood this Shinra Tensei, really have something special about it?

"What kind of eyes were those? Even stronger than the Sharingan? Was that move a Dojutsu?"

Second Pillar clenched his fists. He had always believed that the Sharingan was the strongest Dojutsu Kekkei Genkai in the Shinobi World. He had not even thought much of the Byakugan, despite its reputation as the Sharingan's equal.

How many powerful users had the Byakugan produced throughout history? How could it possibly be mentioned in the same breath as their Sharingan?

Yet the appearance of the Rinnegan shattered his understanding. It made him realize that the Sharingan was not the only powerful Dojutsu Kekkei Genkai in this world. In fact, before the Rinnegan, the Sharingan did not even deserve a ranking.

"An organization capable of making Uchiha Itachi bow his head... Was he the leader of that organization?" Second Pillar only felt that his path of revenge was becoming ever more distant and hopeless.

Uchiha Itachi alone was already powerful enough to suffocate him. If there were so many people behind him who were just as strong, or even stronger...

How was he supposed to take revenge?

Perhaps he needed companions too. Companions capable of standing against such powerful enemies.

At that moment, he thought of Uzumaki Naruto. In Kitahara Kaede's evaluation, Naruto was someone extraordinary.

One of the peak mountains of the entire Shinobi World over the next twenty years?

If Kitahara Kaede rated Uzumaki Naruto so highly, then Naruto would at least grow into a companion capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Uchiha Itachi.

This was the first time Second Pillar, the solitary avenger, had ever entertained the idea of finding companions.

The more he learned, the more he understood just how childish and ridiculous his former determination to seek revenge alone had been.

"Damn it! How am I supposed to get my revenge?!"

Second Pillar let out a furious roar born of helplessness.

[Today, I met Naruto. He was just as I imagined: he possessed the Asura Clan's inherited warmth and cheerfulness. If I were him, I would have gone dark a thousand times over. Yet he could still remain so optimistic and even become the Savior of the Shinobi World. Don't tell me Asura's chakra had nothing to do with it.

He could even accomplish what generations of Asuras had failed to do: bring Indra back and sever the fate of Asura and Indra in this generation. That alone was remarkable.

After all, he was the generation of Asura most skilled in Talk no Jutsu.]

The diary continued updating. Hatake Kakashi understood the metaphor about Uzumaki Naruto going dark a thousand times over. Thinking about Naruto's treatment over the years, about the hatred and disgust he had endured from the villagers, Kakashi wondered whether he himself could have endured without going dark.

He did not know, because his own life had been miserable too.

He had lost his mother as a child. When he was a little older, his father committed suicide. Later, his close friend died before his eyes. Not long afterward, he killed another teammate himself. Then there were his teacher and Master's Wife. One by one, the people most important to him had left his life.

By now, he was all alone.

But what did it mean by the Asura Clan's inherited warmth and cheerfulness?

Wasn't Naruto from the Uzumaki Clan?

Even if they counted from his teacher's side, that would make him part of the Namikaze Clan. What did that have to do with Asura?

And Asura's chakra could supposedly affect him?

Or did Naruto possess this so-called Asura chakra?

Hatake Kakashi could not help but worry. Naruto was his teacher's orphaned child. Now that both his teacher and Master's Wife were gone, he had to look after this child in their stead.

Although the influence of Asura's chakra appeared to be moving in a positive direction, who could say for certain?

And it involved generations of Asuras, which meant there was more than one Asura?

There also seemed to be an Indra standing in opposition to him?

What fate did Asura and Indra need to sever in this generation?

Or perhaps Asura was actually some kind of occupational title?

Which had been passed down from generation to generation.

If Asura was a secretly inherited profession, then Indra was also some kind of secretly inherited profession. For some reason, the two had been entangled for many generations and seemed to be enemies.

But in the end, they had reached a complete resolution in this generation?

For a moment, Hatake Kakashi's thoughts were in turmoil, and he had no idea where to begin investigating.

"Savior?"

Second Pillar keenly noticed the key phrase in that passage. Kitahara Kaede's assessment of Uzumaki Naruto was growing ever more outrageous, from one of the peaks of the Shinobi World in the coming decades to the Savior of the Shinobi World.

How could this evaluation become more absurd with every step? Could that Dead Last really grow into a Savior in the future?

Second Pillar felt conflicted. He hoped Uzumaki Naruto could become strong enough to participate in his quest for revenge, but at the same time, he quickly found himself unwilling to accept it.

He was first in his grade, while Uzumaki Naruto was last in the class, a Dead Last.

Could his future be worse than that of a Dead Last?

He refused to accept it.

``` [Uzumaki Naruto's talent is actually quite good. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox merely interfered with his chakra circulation. I cannot solve that either. To resolve it completely, he will have to wait until he becomes the disciple of Pervy Sage Jiraiya in the future.

The Uzumaki Clan left behind so many Fuinjutsu meant for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, yet he did not learn a single one. What a complete waste. As an orphan of the Uzumaki Clan, with only a few clansmen left in the entire Shinobi World, his situation was hardly any better than that of the Uchiha Clan. Speaking of which, what a sin, Konoha!

"Naruto's talent is good, but the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox interfered with his chakra circulation?" Only upon seeing this did Hatake Kakashi finally understand. His teacher, the Prodigy Minato Namikaze, and his fiery Master's Wife, Kushina Uzumaki, both possessed exceptional talent as shinobi.

How could the child born from those two be a ninjutsu idiot, ranking last at the Ninja Academy year after year and becoming the notorious Dead Last?

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra could interfere with Naruto's chakra circulation?
