"Naruto grew up surrounded by rejection and ridicule. But he didn't have no friends. In school, Shikamaru Choji and Sasuke actually had a good relationship with him.
The most important reason why these children were able to become friends with him was that they did not look at him in a special way.
Naruto actually doesn't have many requirements. He just needs everyone to treat him as an ordinary student. Unfortunately, even this simple request is something that not many people in Konoha can fulfill. As for the reason, you should already know."
That night, Minato and Hiruzen Sarutobi had a private conversation. After that, Hiruzen Sarutobi went back and lay down for five days before he could barely get out of bed.
"I know."
"Understand this, it's actually very simple. You don't need to do too much extra. You just need to go over and say to Naruto, Naruto, I am your father, and I am sorry for not being able to take good care of you."
"Is it that simple?"
"Yes, it's that simple. As I said, Naruto doesn't want much."
This sentence Naruto didn't want much, which made Minato feel so guilty that he didn't know what to do.
"Of course, since you have delayed it for so long, you still have to pay a price."
"What price?" Minato asked eagerly. It is estimated that when Aoba asked him to kill Sandai, he did not hesitate for a second.
"Well, let me think about it, Naruto will probably... punch you?"
"... What else?"
"Isn't it enough? Then you can let him punch a few more times."
"..."
Minato's figure disappeared into the bar. Only Aoba's unspoken words were left.
"You haven't paid your fucking bill yet!"
Uchiha's big house, Sasuke is completing his synthesis of today's Sharingan Ocular Power.
He now clearly feels that his reserve of Ocular Power has reached a limit.
However, due to the lack of fusion of brain secretions, Mangekyō has never been able to fuse.
Sasuke tried to use Genjutsu to remind myself of that night. But no matter how sad I was, I always felt like I was short of breath.
"Sure enough, Teacher Aoba is right. My body is preventing me from turning on Mangekyō. But if this is the case, when will I be able to defeat that guy."
Under the training of Aoba, this version of Sasuke is much more stable than in the original plot. But the pain in his heart will not subside because of the stability on the surface.
He just suppressed the pain in his heart.
"Well..." The sudden severe pain in his neck made Sasuke hum.
"It's Cursed Seal, the seal is loose, damn it."
Sasuke's face changed, and he used Hand Seals's hands to try to cast Evil Sealing Method himself. However, Cursed Seal's disturbance directly caused chaos in the chakra in his body.
"Oops." The black markings began to gradually spread from the neck to Sasuke's body.
"Sasuke."
The voices of Sakura and Karin came.
"What's wrong with him?"
"It's Cursed Seal of Orochimaru, Evil Sealing Method is loose, and now he is being eaten back by Cursed Seal."
"Then can you save him?"
"No, no need to save. In fact, this is what we expected."
Sakura As the direct descendant of Aoba, Sealing Jutsu has now entered the palace. Evil Sealing Method's technique is not a problem. However, she did not try to stabilize the seal.
"Karin, come with me and take him to the laboratory, right away."
After Aoba received the news, he rushed to the laboratory as soon as possible.
"What's going on?"
"Cursed Seal came back. Much earlier than planned. I don't know what happened."
"Haha, it must have been done by Orochimaru. He may have noticed the difference in Sasuke and couldn't wait. It doesn't matter, the heat is almost there, let's give it a try."
Sasuke and Naruto have always been the helpers that Aoba tried to train. He needs these two children to be his helpers. But he uses his method, not the direct cheating method of Sage of Six Paths.
According to the performance in the original plot, in the finale of the main story, both Naruto and Sasuke got Six Paths Power, and worked together to seal Kaguya.
During the battle, Naruto had Truth-Seeking Orb given by Six Paths. But after the seal was over, Six Paths Power was used up, and Naruto himself never used Truth-Seeking Orb again.
In fact, if you look at the entire plot, you can see that the reason why Sage of Six Paths ended up cheating personally is because the growth rate of the two of them has not kept up with the version.
Aoba started training the two of them in advance just to prevent this.
And there is actually a very obscure detail in the original plot. That is, Sage of Six Paths is obviously biased towards Ashura. In some background plots, it is clearly described that Sage of Six Paths is dissatisfied with Indra. He prefers Ashura.
Aoba doesn't have much prejudice against these two children. What he hopes more is that the two children of luck can fully realize their potential.
Sasuke does not have the potential to directly cultivate Senjutsu. To others, this is not considered a weakness. Because no one can.
But for Sasuke, this is indeed a weakness. Without the blessing of Senjutsu, his performance in the later period will be worse than Naruto.
Aoba has wanted to make up for this weakness for him a long time ago. But Senjutsu is something that very few cannot cheat.
In the original plot, after achieving Six Paths Level, Madara absorbed part of Senjutsu Chakra from Hashirama to make up for this weakness.
Sasuke will not be able to become Six Paths Level for a while. However, Cursed Seal of Orochimaru gave Aoba a possibility. At first, he did not stop Orochimaru from leaving Cursed Seal for Sasuke, just to prepare for this move.
"The original intention of Cursed Seal is not to kill Sasuke. It is to corrode and infect him. In this chakra, in addition to the degraded version of Senjutsu Chakra, there is also the will of Orochimaru."
Even Aoba has to admit that Orochimaru is a genius. His operation of using chakra to corrode others and occupy the magpie's nest has vaguely touched some unspeakable rules of Shinobi World.
He might not notice it yet. But give this guy time, he might really notice something.
Aoba put his hand on Sasuke's forehead, and then entered the conscious world of Sasuke.
Mindscape, who uses chakra to communicate with the opponent, has the same erosion principle as Cursed Seal. The reason why Aoba keeps Orochimaru is because this guy may be one of the very few people who can understand what he is doing from the root cause and is not likely to help him.
Just as Sasuke fell into a coma, Naruto was also in chaos.
He looked at Minato-sensei in front of him, his face filled with anger, pain, happiness, and all kinds of complicated emotions.
"You said you are my father, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze?"
"Yes Naruto, I'm sorry that it took me so long to tell you. I was too cowardly to recognize you, I'm sorry."
