"Naruto, this time, I'll teach you how to face your enemies with power... When I fought against those two Uchiha, it was more about technique, turning one unit of power into the effect of ten."
"But you must not be obsessed with this. You must balance the relationship between technique and power..."
"No matter how good the technique, it can only exert several times the original power. When facing enemies with a disparity in strength, only power on the same level allows you the capital to confront them."
"Simply put, Chakra level and life transformation determine what level of enemies you can handle... While technique determines your ranking tier within your own level..."
Aomi slowly said:
"Wood polished to the sharpest can never rival the coarse stone… Technique often settles during a peaceful moment of natural sedimentation, or when forward momentum is powerless... Remember, Naruto, life transformation and power level elevation are the key!"
Naruto nodded thoughtfully.
Aomi's advice was on point... After witnessing Aomi deal with the Uchiha massacre duo with minimal Chakra, Naruto couldn't help but kindle a desire for technique...
He wanted to wield ordinary ninjutsu with incredible effect just like Aomi!
"So, how can I elevate my own power level and life transformation?" Naruto thought internally, these somewhat abstract terms were hard to grasp without witnessing concrete scenes.
Aomi glanced at Naruto and laughed lightly.
He understood what Naruto was thinking... But this matter needed no explanation...
Because, he only needed to show him once!
The beauty of overpowering techniques with sheer strength is more impactful and expressive than elegant techniques!
Aomi's gaze slightly sharpened.
Instantly.
The bubble-like Nine-tailed Chakra on Naruto swiftly retracted into his body, then exploded into dazzling golden light!
Kurama Mode... Fully synchronized with the Nine-tails' intent, entering the complete Jinchuriki form!
At this moment, Naruto's body was covered in a layer of Nine-tailed Chakra burning like shining sunlight. Compared to the previous deep red Nine-tailed Chakra, the ominous and wild aura dwindled away, replaced by pure power!
Not only that.
Naruto clapped his hands, and natural energy from all directions converged into his body, and a faint eye shadow emerged on his cheeks...
Sage Mode!
Naruto's dramatic transformation seemed merely a momentary clap to others, even the Uchihas nearby could see but not comprehend...
Shimura Danzo, with his Mangekyo-covered Sharingan, couldn't even see clearly, only feeling the piercing golden light coming from Naruto's side, coupled with an enormous Chakra presence...
And at this moment, Naruto moved.
Only to see, the flickering golden light on the Uchiha Clan Land's open space... No, golden thunder was bombing wildly!
One by one, Root Ninjas were blown away, crashing into walls and the ground, leaving deep pits and falling unconscious, life or death unknown.
All it took was a simple punch and kick from Naruto, but it carried an undeniable might!
Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene.
Uchiha Fugaku was even more shocked, discovering that even with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he couldn't see Naruto's actions, retreating a step and secretly activating Mangekyo Sharingan behind Hachida...
Still couldn't see!
Even with the dynamic vision of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Naruto, enhanced by Kurama Mode and Sage Mode, was merely series of afterimages, only vague outlines visible...
The battle ended within seconds.
At this moment, golden glowing Chakra arms extended from Naruto's shoulders, gripping Shimura Danzo's neck, raising him into the air.
And on the ground, a pallid Chakra arm and a Three-Tomoe Sharingan lay uncared for.
In that instant, Naruto severed Shimura Danzo's Hashirama's Cells arm and Sharingan!
So fast, there wasn't even time for him to activate Izanagi...
"Compared to a traditional Uchiha, Shimura Danzo's usage of Izanagi is far inferior... Uchiha Obito probably had a transcription seal prepared beforehand, thus even if he couldn't react, he could barely activate..."
"For Shimura Danzo, Izanagi was sadly wasted..." Aomi lamented Danzo's squandered use in his mind, scrutinizing this Dark Ninja.
Honestly, this was the first time Aomi fought him personally.
In Aomi's timeline, Shimura Danzo was first reproached by Sarutobi Hiruzen, then beaten by Tobirama, and finally his soul was killed by Tobirama...
Aomi never got the chance to fight him! Although this time, it was borrowed through Naruto's body...
A dead silence enveloped the scene!
No one expected the Nine-tails Jinchuriki to unleash such terrifying power, in an instant, wiping out the Hokage Assistant and the dreaded Root squad by Konoha!
Especially with Naruto's tranquil demeanor...
This indicated that the Nine-tails' power wasn't berserk but controlled!
Could it be that Konoha's long-standing trouble, the Nine-tails, finally is tamed by someone, and they completely mastered its power?
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled heavily, feeling all his strength drained, aging several years in an instant...
Such a complex feeling.
Even though he had governed Konoha for nearly forty years, once Senju Tobirama returned, all control naturally left his grasp...
He was forever Tobirama's young disciple, never able to negotiate with his teacher...
Indeed, Senju Tobirama might have impure intentions, perhaps treading down Demon Path like Orochimaru... But once he commanded Naruto's body, mastering Nine-tails Power, everything was over!
No matter what Senju Tobirama does, Sarutobi Hiruzen can only cooperate with all he has, making Konoha his teacher's tool together...
This is entanglement, coercion, a conspiracy the Third Hokage cannot resist.
"Let me down, let me down, do you know who I am? I am the Hokage Assistant!"
Confined within the Tailed Beast Chakra arms, Shimura Danzo struggled painfully, shouting and angrily glaring at the expressionless Naruto.
But at this glare, Shimura Danzo's expression froze.
Much like Sarutobi Hiruzen, inexplicably, he found Naruto very familiar, as if seeing an old friend...
"Danzo, you are a poor Hokage Assistant... Based on my knowledge, during the first Nine-tailed Fox Chaos, you concealed the Root and did not participate in the rescue..."
"Do you understand what your actions imply? You were deserting the battlefield..."
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto's words seemed out of character, causing many present Ninjas to feel very peculiar.
During Nine-tailed Fox Chaos, wasn't Naruto just born? How did he know about this...
And Naruto's cold and aloof tone sounded like an icy authoritative figure, even if Jinchuriki typically have unstable mental states, such a tone was indeed discordant...
But some understood.
Like Sarutobi Hiruzen, or Uchihas surviving from Senju Tobirama's era...
Even Shimura Danzo understood.
Shimura Danzo widened his eyes tremendously, staring at Naruto with disbelief, shaking, shouting desperately:
"Teacher, is it you, Teacher! Teacher, I-I can explain, I can explain..."
"No need to explain, Danzo... This wasn't your first desertion."
Naruto slowly shook his head: "Reflect on your Will of Fire in the Pure Land."
The two Chakra arms intertwined.
With a crisp sound, Shimura Danzo's head fell to the ground.
The arrogant Dark Ninja ended his life like this.
Yet, Shimura Danzo's death was not the top concern for the present Ninjas... Everyone was pondering the plea of this Dark Ninja while dying...
Teacher?
He called Naruto teacher?
