Qingshui Wants to Get Stronger

Qingshui took a deep breath and then slowly said, "You, Kakashi, Rin, you are all my pride." His voice was not loud, but it was full of strength and emotion.

Namikaze Minato smiled slightly and continued, "I think I will never forget that little guy who always challenged Kakashi. He was so positive and full of hope for the future, making becoming Hokage his lifelong goal. That little guy was Obi-Too."

His words revealed his admiration and fond memories of Obito.

Qingshui's words were like a heavy hammer blow, striking Xian Er's cold heart.

This blow was like a stone falling into calm water, creating ripples.

However, Xian Er was no longer the boy who could be easily swayed by a few words.

As one of the big bosses in the Ninja World, Xian Er has experienced countless trials and tribulations, and his heart has long been hardened like iron.

Although Qingshui's words were very pleasant to hear, and even stirred a ripple in his heart, he remained indifferent, his lips tightly closed, showing no intention of responding.

Qingshui sat down next to Xian Er turned away, not wanting to look at him.

Qingshui smiled and said, "Although I'm not a qualified teacher, I will return to my own world after all this is over. I will definitely protect you then, and I'm even willing to teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Rasengan in that world."

Qingshui's honesty stirred up a complex emotion in Xian Er's heart. He stared at Qingshui, his eyes revealing a hint of indescribable confusion and surprise.

"You know perfectly well that I, in the future, have done such heinous and outrageous things to your entire family, so why do you still..." Xian Er's words trailed off, as if even he himself couldn't understand Qingshui's behavior.

Xian Er couldn't understand Minato's way of thinking. He thought that it was already very classy of him not to kill Qingshui immediately after returning to his own world.

If it were him, he would absolutely nip this potential threat in the bud without hesitation to prevent future troubles.

However, Qingshui gave an answer that completely surprised Xian Er.

"It was my mistake, and I won't run away from it." Qingshui's voice was calm and firm, as if he had already thought this through carefully. "Running away won't solve anything; it will only make things worse."

Then, Qingshui continued, "When I return to my world, I will succeed the Fourth Hokage. But I will not be like Minato in your world, blindly pandering to the Third Hokage."

I will learn from Uchiha Kō and firmly grasp power in my own hands. Only in this way can I truly protect the village and my family."

At this point, Qingshui's gaze sharpened, "At the same time, I will absolutely not let you, who are still children, go to the battlefield."

War is cruel; it takes many innocent lives. I will do everything in my power to create a peaceful and safe environment for you to grow up in."

Qingshui's words were like a lightning bolt that ripped through the night sky, striking Xian Er's heart directly and causing him to tremble.

However, Xian Er's moment of emotion lasted only a moment before he quickly regained his composure. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and said coldly, "This has nothing to do with me, Minato-sensei. You should leave now."

Before he could finish speaking, Xian Er seemed to have completely lost control of his body. His eyes were tightly closed, and he lay stiffly on the ground like a soulless shell, as if the dust and filth on the ground could not affect him in the slightest.

Qing Shui stared quietly at the once high-spirited young man in front of him, but now he was so depressed and decadent, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart.

He slowly knelt down, gently stroking Xian Er's crippled side, and whispered, "Obito, this time, I will definitely protect you, Rin, and Kakashi. Please believe me, okay?"

After saying that, Qingshui slowly stood up and resolutely walked towards the door. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he were carrying the weight of the entire world on his back.

Just as Qingshui's figure was about to disappear through the doorway, a figure appeared silently like a ghost—it was Uchiha Kō.

With a mocking smile, he poked Xian Er in the waist without any hesitation and teased, "How about it? Aren't you moved to tears?"

Xian Er remained unresponsive to Uchiha Kō's teasing, lying silently on the ground like a lifeless corpse.

Uchiha Kō curled his lip. "You really are too proud to admit it. Fine, tell me when you've thought it through. Also, I can help you revive Rin from your world. If you want my help, then pull yourself together and fight against the Heavenly Dao."

After saying that, Uchiha Kō was about to leave when Xian Er panicked. "Is that really true?" He grabbed Uchiha Kō's leg and wouldn't let go, his face full of excitement. Uchiha Kō's last words had completely unsettled him.

Revive Lin! Lin from my own world! If that's truly possible, then the Eye of the Moon Plan seems pointless to continue.

Everyone knows that an illusion is just an illusion, and that one day you will wake up from it.

If one experiences light in an illusion, only to wake up to darkness again, even someone like Xian Er the Six Paths Obito) would find it unbearable!

Uchiha Kō chuckled and said, "Guess." Then he left.

Xian Er stared at his retreating figure, lost in thought.

Uchiha Kō's strength was equally awe-inspiring.

He is undoubtedly the strongest in this world, and his power is so great that he can easily crush the second Sage of Six Paths — Xian Er himself.

Xian Er knew all too well that the world was far more complex than he had imagined.

Despite having once attained the realm of the Sage of Six Paths, he now realized his own insignificance when facing Uchiha Kō.

However, with power, many things become possible, even miracles like resurrection. If Uchiha Kō can truly revive Rin in Xian Er's world, then Xian Er is willing to give everything for him.

Xian Er's eyes hardened. Although he had transferred the power of the Ten-Tails into Obito Uchiha's body, the seed still remained within him.

If he so chooses, he can use his Chakra to activate this seed and restore himself to the state of the Sage of Six Paths!

At that moment, Xian Er's eyes shone with a light—a light of hope and determination.

He was no longer as aimless as before, nor was he obsessed with the Eye of the Moon Plan. Because of someone like Uchiha Kō, he had a reason to continue living in the real world.

Uchiha Kō stepped out and looked at Qingshui: "So? Any thoughts?"

A wry smile appeared on Qingshui's lips as he said softly, "There are some, but... I'm still worried I won't do a good job."

Seeing this, Uchiha Kō smiled slightly and comforted him, "Don't worry, Qingshui. This period of time is perfect for you to train and improve your strength."

Then, he turned to Namikaze Minato beside him and instructed, "Minato, you will teach Qingshui Ninjutsu and techniques. Remember, don't hold back; make sure he truly masters these skills. After all, to become Hokage, one must have the courage to face the storm!"

Upon hearing Namikaze Minato quickly cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, teacher!" Then, he bowed deeply to Uchiha Kō to show his respect.

After the ceremony, Namikaze Minato straightened up, turned his gaze to Qingshui, and revealed a serious expression in his eyes. He was absolutely serious about strength.

Although he didn't know what Qingshui had gone through, as his own person, he knew Qingshui's eyes and inner thoughts.

Qingshui looked at Namikaze Minato and gasped. He had already witnessed Uchiha Kō's strength. Even someone as strong as Obito Uchiha the Six Paths Realm, was suppressed by Uchiha Kō with a wave of his hand.

Such a powerful person is simply terrifying!

How powerful must the disciples he taught be? Looking at himself in this world, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Why don't we do it right here? I'd like to see your strength too," Qingshui said.

The others gave him strange looks, Obito Uchiha a laugh, afraid he would burst out laughing.

To be honest, even if I inherited the power of the Ten-Tails, I wouldn't be confident in defeating Minato in his Nine-Tails form. My Minato-sensei just told me not to hold back.

In the previous battle, Minato-sensei held back; otherwise, Qingshui would have died within five moves.

Namikaze Minato looked at Uchiha Kō, Uchiha Kō's energetic Qingshui, also became interested. "In that case, Minato, you go. Remember to be careful!"

Namikaze Minato nodded, then looked at Qingshui: "Bring it on."

Qingshui nodded and threw out Kunai in preparation for battle, but Namikaze Minato threw out a bunch of Kunai, startling Qingshui.

Just as Shimizu was preparing to leave, Namikaze Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Rasengan combined with the Rasengan.

The result was that Namikaze Minato kept dodging and weaving, then bombarded Qingshui with small Rasengan one after another.

Qingshui couldn't dodge in time and was given a massage by Namikaze Minato.

The man cried out in agony, eventually lying on the ground with a bruised Namikaze Minato. In contrast, Minato Namikaze remained calm and composed, his movements elegant. With his teacher's guidance and the power of the Nine-Tails, he was far superior to Qingshui.

Although Qingshui looked miserable, he learned a lot, including his own techniques and how to maneuver in the future.

Don't let Qingshui's current miserable state fool you; his combat talent is top-notch. Once he breaks through Namikaze Minato's techniques, his strength will increase significantly!

Uchiha Kō smiled and nodded, then walked towards his rest room. As for the main hall, Nara Rokumei was in charge, so he was quite at ease.

Nara Rokumei: "Achoo!" He sneezed, then glanced at the sky. The moon was already up, but Uchiha Kō hadn't appeared yet. What did that mean?

This means that Uchiha Kō skipped work!!!
