Accepting what 'Naruto' said, Naruto nodded.

"Finally understand?"

'Naruto' tilted his head.

"There is no way to defeat you with force. I already clearly understand the truth of this matter."

"Interesting? How do you defeat the enemy without relying on force?"

'Naruto' said mockingly.

"Stop pretending." Naruto stretched out his finger, pointed at his head, and said: "Since you are another me, you also know what I am thinking in my head right now. Or should I say?

Do you want me to tell you exactly?"

"..."

'Naruto' chose silence, and it seemed that he was told what he meant.

"Sorry, I have misunderstood you before and said that you are a fake. You must have been very angry at my self-righteous thoughts before."

Naruto looked at it seriously at this time.

"...Idiot, don't say such misleading things. You said I know what's going on in your mind. How could I possibly--"

Before 'Naruto' could finish speaking, Naruto had already rushed up and punched him in the head.

However, as if he knew this was a feint from Naruto, he moved his hand down without hesitation and caught the heavy punch intended to hit his chest.

'Naruto' gritted his teeth angrily.

Naruto smiled as if his plan had succeeded.

"Look, isn't this completely predicting the future?"

"You guy, I'm going to kill you! And those self-righteous bastards!"

'Naruto' revealed a violent murderous aura, shaking the entire earth in shock.

"Is this what you think?"

Naruto asked at this time.

"Of course, I hate you, and everyone else outside. You have no idea what I've been through. Being treated like this by those bastard villagers, I want to vent the pain in my heart. It's obviously not my fault, but I want to

All kinds of faults are put on me, and in the end I have to protect them... No matter how I think about it, it is still unforgivable! Only by killing them can the scars in my heart be healed!"

'Naruto' roared excitedly, as if he wanted to vent all his anger and dissatisfaction over the years towards Naruto.

"...Indeed, some people in the village, even after knowing the truth, still stubbornly believe that we are the incarnation of demons and evil people who destroy the peace of the village. These prejudices will not change as we change.

.I have always understood these things, but I just selectively ignored them."

"Then stand on my side. As long as we join forces, no one in this world is our opponent! Use our power to wash away all shame!"

'Naruto' clenched his fists with a murderous look on his face.

"Maybe, but not everyone is like this. I can't hate everyone because of the prejudice of some people. If we do it your way, what's the difference between us and those people?

"

"Jing can say some big words, so you have accomplished nothing until now. Be it towards Sasuke, Kakashi, or Sakura, Jing is so merciful to some people who betrayed us! Have you ever thought about how I feel?

? Those weak mercy and shameful concessions, I will completely crush them!"

After 'Naruto' said that, he waved his fist filled with raging flames, flew straight towards Naruto, and hit his body directly.

Boom!

The space vibrated violently the moment the fist touched Naruto's body.

However, the strange thing is that Naruto stood still, and this punch, which was powerful enough to cause the air to vibrate, hit Naruto's body, but it had no effect. Naruto's body did not even shake, and he was safe and sound.

'Naruto' looked dumbfounded, as if he had not expected such a result, and he didn't know where the error was.

"As a community of life, how can we hurt ourselves, whether intentionally or unintentionally? I'm sorry, I have cared too much about myself these years, but I have not considered your feelings. Wandering alone in the darkness, then

This feeling must be very painful.”

Naruto hugged 'Naruto', and at the moment of hugging, he could clearly feel the rapid heartbeat in the other person's heart, as well as the deep loneliness.

"You bastard--"

'Naruto' struggled violently, as if trying to break free.

But Naruto used more force, making him unable to resist.

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you again. Become one with me again. Thank you for everything you have done for me before."

"You idiot..."

'Naruto''s voice became smaller and smaller, sounding a little choked. Finally, in the shining of light, his body turned into scattered light points and dissipated in the air.

"Let me agree with you this time. If you make an answer that dissatisfies me again, I will... appear in front of you again and control everything about you! Also, don't be merciful to Sasuke and the others. If you stop me

Just kill them decisively on the road!"

'Naruto''s last words remained in the air, like advice, warning Naruto's next move.

Naruto looked at the light spots that gradually dissipated, his eyes filled with sadness.

"I will... because this is our inner choice now."

It's like talking to oneself, but also like answering another self, telling him the final answer.

…

"Huh? There's something going on."

Samyi saw Naruto on the boulder in the middle of the pool, and his body suddenly trembled. The violent aura on his body gradually calmed down, and was filled with a kind of reassuring tranquility instead of chaos.

"what's the result?"

Tenzo looked at Naruto's back.

"Does that need to be said? Of course it was successful."

The corners of Kirabi's mouth cracked slightly, as if he had already predicted this result, showing a confident and unconfused smile.

Sure enough, probably after hearing Kirabi's words, Naruto on the boulder turned his head and smiled brightly and equally confidently at him.

"Great, now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

It seemed that Naruto had passed the training, and Tenzo breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's still early, this is just an appetizer, and the real battlefield will come next. After all, the opponent will be Kyuubi. Naruto, rest for two days to adjust your condition to the best!"

Kirabi was not happy too early.

He knew that Naruto had only completed the first level, and only the most basic part.

Different from this level, the next level, which is the last level, requires you to try your best, otherwise... you will die.

"Um?"

Shiraishi, who was dealing with pre-war affairs in the office, sensed the message from the shadow clone. Without thinking, he put down the affairs at hand and used the teleportation technique to rush to his laboratory as quickly as possible.

The white, spacious room with almost no clutter is the room where Ayane absorbs the Ten-Tails chakra.

Next to her, stood a shadow clone of Shiraishi. After seeing his own body arriving, he formed a seal with his hands, released the shadow clone technique, and disappeared into the smoke.

At the moment when the shadow clone disappeared, Ayane, who had maintained the seal and closed her eyes tightly, showed that her eyelids trembled twice, and then slowly struggled to raise her eyelids. A faint purple light shone in her pure white eyes, revealing

It exudes a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

The whole person's aura fell into a strange tranquility, but this tranquility gave people the feeling of a beast dormant in search of prey. Just being glanced at it gave people a frightening and oppressive feeling.

, comes to the body.

"Well……"

Perhaps standing motionless for many days in a row made her body almost rigid. When Ayane stretched out, revealing her plump and beautiful figure, all the bones in her body crackled like rust.

The frightening feeling of pressure was also hidden by her and disappeared.

Obviously, she has been able to make good use of the extra power in her body. After all, in terms of chakra control, there are not many people in the ninja world today who can compare with Ayane.

"It seems that he has conquered the Ten-Tails chakra that he swallowed."

Shiraishi said this.

"Well, except for the fact that I'm still a little unaccustomed, everything else should be fine. However, in my current state, I should be considered a jinchūriki."

Ayane touched her chest gently and could feel the heart inside her body beating powerfully.

A sense of power that is more abundant than before is slowly hiding in the body.

All it takes is a thought from her, and she can mobilize it anytime and anywhere.

"Compared to Jinchuuriki, more precisely, like Golden Horn and Silver Horn, he has become a ninja who can independently stimulate the tailed beast's chakra."

Shiraishi replied.
