Putting aside the little thoughts of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura for the time being, Naruto knew what his most urgent task was at the moment.
Fusion of seven attributes of Chakra creates Kekkei Mōra.
Only by successfully being promoted to the Six Paths level, with stronger power and a deeper understanding of the rules, can he begin to implement the next plan that concerns the future of the entire Shinobi World.
For this reason, he even set his sights on the magical Dōjutsu "Shinkōsanrei" of Otohime.
If you can use this ability to briefly travel to the future, you may be able to directly obtain Kekkei Mōra's cultivation methods or key insights from your future self. This is undoubtedly a shortcut.
After all, if you succeed, your future self should theoretically have mastered this power.
If you don't succeed, you can gain experience through your future self.
However, when he returned home late at night and knocked on Otohime's door and explained his purpose, they encountered unexpected obstacles when they tried to activate "Shinkōsanrei" in Otohime's room.
Rinnegan of Golden unfolded, and powerful Space-Time waves rippled, but the expected Space-Time Rift did not appear.
That force seemed to hit an invisible but indestructible wall. It only caused a ripple in space and then quickly dissipated.
Tried several times with the same result.
"Hmm."
Otohime put away Dōjutsu. There was not much surprise on his face, but a hint of understanding and amusement.
After she returned to her girl form, she looked completely different from when she turned into a loli due to excessive consumption of Chakra.
At this moment, she has a lazy posture with a bit of coolness, even a bit middle-aged.
She put her long, slender, white legs on the table and swayed on her toes.
"It should be my future self that did it.
Of course, it is also possible that you in the future borrowed my abilities with your Amenotajikara, and then in turn imposed some kind of time and space anchor or blockade."
She Golden's Rinnegan glanced at Naruto, with an "I knew this would happen" expression. "Shinkōsanrei Dōjutsu of this level, it is extremely difficult to counter it.
Kaguya can't even do it, let alone Kaguya's descendants.
Being able to do this means that the future timeline is very likely to be very beneficial to you, or at least a future you want to maintain.
Therefore, you in the future must prevent you in the present from taking tricks and avoid causing unnecessary time and space paradoxes or interference."
She paused, and her tone became a little bit arrogant, but also a little encouraging.
"Believe in your talent, Hokage!
Don't always think about taking shortcuts. If you can do it in the future, why can't you do it now?"
Naruto was silent for a moment, looking at Otohime's "I have seen through everything" look, and remembering her ignorant and innocent look in her lolita form, I have to admit that the difference in body age will indeed affect her personality and way of thinking.
The current Otohime is obviously more... a little less worthy of a beating.
"Okay, failed."
Naruto rubbed his eyebrows and gave up the intention of continuing to try, "You should also go to bed early."
He turned around to leave.
Otohime seemed to be a little unhappy with his dull reaction, especially the sentence "You should go to bed early too", which sounded like he was sending her away.
She raised her eyebrows and said in a deliberately provocative tone, "What else? Do you still want to stay and sleep with me?"
After saying that, she felt a little uncomfortable at first, but she held on to her cool expression.
Hearing this, Naruto paused and turned around. His eyes calmly swept over Otohime's body, focusing on her chest that was so flat that it could almost take off and land an airplane. Then, he let out an almost inaudible sigh.
Nothing was said.
But it seemed like everything was said.
"You!"
Otohime's cheeks instantly turned red, all the way to the roots of her ears.
She is red and warm.
When she lived in Konoha in the Boruto world, she also learned a lot about the common sense of human society.
Naruto This silent ridicule accurately hit what she thought was her only shortcoming at present.
Although her perfect form is not as swollen as Tsunade, it still has a lot of ups and downs. Now it is just a little smaller.
"What do you mean? Tell me clearly!"
She retracted her legs on the table, sat up from the bed and put her hands on her hips. Golden's eyes widened, trying to cover up her embarrassment with her momentum.
Naruto had already walked into the yard. He heard Otohime behind him shouting in a low voice but still angrily. He didn't even look back, but waved his hand casually to signal her to calm down.
At least she knew not to disturb Hinata and the others while they were resting.
Naruto sat down on the steps in Courtyard. The night breeze, carrying the coolness of early autumn, gently brushed his blond hair, bringing him a sense of clarity, but it could not dispel the depression in his heart.
He raised his head slightly and cast his gaze into the deep night sky.
The stars were sparse, like random scattered diamonds, but the bright moon was extremely full and bright, with clear brilliance, quietly overlooking the sleeping Konoha, and reflecting his complicated state of mind at the moment.
He sighed deeply.
This sigh was so light that it almost blended into the night wind, but it seemed to carry a huge weight.
A kind of fatigue that he hadn't experienced in a long time, mixed with a sense of confusion and heaviness, quietly enveloped him like a mist quietly spreading in the night.
Different from the physical fatigue when performing tasks, this is a kind of caution about the future and temporary doubts about one's own abilities that originates from deep within.
Kekkei Mōra's cultivation, the road ahead can be said to be chaotic.
The perfect fusion of seven Chakra attributes is not just the superposition of quantity, every step is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you may lose all your previous efforts or even hurt yourself.
The road ahead is full of unpredictable variables, such as the pattern of Shinobi World, potential threats, and the development of the village...
It was like an intricate web, and he was the one trying to sort out the thread and even re-weave it.
In the village, there are old forces like Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura who are unwilling to be left alone and try to stir up the situation.
Outside the village, there is an undercurrent surging under the seemingly surrendered Four Great Nations, and the potential threat of Sage of Six Paths is like a hanging sword.
All these tangible and invisible pressures seemed to have turned into substantial weight, weighing heavily on his still young shoulders.
The bamboo hat of Hokage is very light, but the responsibilities and expectations represented by the two characters Hokage are as heavy as mountains.
He had rarely felt the length of the night so clearly as he did now.
In the past nights, I would either be immersed in cultivation without getting tired, or I would fall asleep peacefully after having a hearty chat with my friends.
But at this moment, time seems to have been stretched out, and every minute and every second seems particularly clear and slow.
The silent Courtyard and the cold moonlight all set off an almost stagnant feeling of loneliness.
Dawn, seems to have become an unattainable promise.
The moonlight flowed quietly like water, elongating his slightly lonely back and casting it on the ground behind him.
This figure is no longer the always energetic Young Naruto, but a leader who has truly begun to taste the bitterness and hardship behind the word "guard".
Looking back on the past, everything Naruto wanted to do was almost one after another.
Whether he is learning Eight Gates Formation, Wood Release or mastering Sage Mode, Kurama Mode, or even later integrating multiple powers, he can always overcome difficulties and finally achieve his goals with his amazing perseverance and talent.
In his life experience, there are almost only a handful of people who can't do it in the true sense.
However, in front of the towering mountain "Kekkei Mōra", for the first time, he felt a certain degree of...
I feel powerless, or in other words, I have lost the almost blind, indomitable confidence I had in the past.
This is not cowardice, but the prudence brought by rational knowledge when facing unknown fields.
