In the darkness.
A fire lit up in the distance. Naruto suddenly woke up and found himself in a magnificent palace.
A glorious throne was placed alone on the high ground at the end of the palace.
It was full of loneliness and desolation.
"Where was this?"
Naruto was confused.
In the past, he would come to the sealed space after falling asleep. But this time, it was a strange scene.
Why do I always encounter such strange things?
Naruto could not help but complain.
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." At this time, an ethereal and dull voice echoed in the space. Then, a human figure shrouded in a black shadow appeared next to the throne.
The man wore a black robe and a hood.
The shadows covered his face, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
He stood straight beside the throne, and he felt a little respectful?
Could it be Ninjutsu?
Naruto's heart trembled.
Perhaps because he had started cultivating, Sandaime was worried, so he sent his subordinates to use illusions to test him?
It's possible.
He could not reveal any flaws.
The cautious Naruto was the first to speak.
"Hello, may I know where this is?"
"This is your... kingdom." As soon as he finished speaking, the initially lifeless palace gave off a vital life force. The entire space began to boil. Specks of starlight spread out, drawing a bright starry sky.
Just as Naruto was surprised, he felt his vision blur.
In the next moment, he saw the black shadow appear next to him, elegant and respectful.
Naruto took a step back.
The eyes stay on the face of the shadow.
Strangely, even if you face each other at a close distance, the face of the dark shadow is still shrouded in shadows, and you can't see the real appearance clearly.
"Who are you?" From the black shadow, Naruto felt a sense of familiarity.
This was not an illusion, nor was it a test from Sandaime.
For some reason, he suddenly had a deep belief in his heart.
Hearing Naruto's question, the shadow bowed respectfully to Naruto.
"I am the power in the deepest part of your heart and also the power you desire. I am the most loyal and reliable help you can reach the clouds."
"Strength? Is it as powerful as Mr. Aizen?" Naruto asked.
When he finished speaking, Naruto saw the black shadow tremble, and his tone was full of disappointment.
"Aizen? So to you, his strength is powerful."
"It seems that the time has not come yet." The black shadow's ravings echoed in the space, rustling.
[Please remember that I am the only one you can trust. I will become the sharpest blade in your hand and cut all obstacles ahead for you.]
[You can call me.]
Listening to the murmuring sound in his ear, Naruto's consciousness gradually blurred. The man in his sight became farther and farther away, and his voice became unclear.
When his consciousness fell into darkness, a sentence sounded in his ear.
"Kyōka Suigetsu."
When Naruto woke up again, he returned to the room. The candlelight flickers, reflecting his uncertain face.
"What happened just now?"
"Kyōka Suigetsu?"
He held his head in confusion, and the light hit slipped from his side to the ground.
The sword is dark green, smooth, and sharp.
This is not the original Asauchi!
Naruto held onto the transformed Zanpakutō with a stunned expression on his face.
An unprecedented feeling welled up in his heart.
A mysterious Shikai voice appeared in his mind, "Break apart, Kyōka Suigetsu."
....
In the morning, Naruto woke up from his sleep. In a daze, he touched Zanpakutō beside his pillow, Kyōka Suigetsu.
The cold handle of the Sword refreshed him and made him crawl up without sleep.
"Kyōka Suigetsu." He murmured Zanpakutō's name.
He rubbed his forehead with a headache.
After Zanpakutō woke up yesterday, he felt exhausted and soon fell asleep.
This time, he did not go to the sealed space. When he woke up again, it was already early morning.
"Mr. Aizen, yesterday my consciousness entered an unknown space and was told the name of Zanpakutō." Naruto raised the dark green Zanpakutō and tried to communicate with Aizen.
"You have mastered Shikai's language?" Aizen's tone was full of doubt.
Shikai was the first stage of Zanpakutō's awakening.
After Shikai, Zanpakutō would have a unique ability.
Ordinary Shinigami needed at least ten years to master Shikai. As for the second stage of Bankai, it was a domain that ordinary Shinigami could not touch.
"It seems so." Naruto was unsure: "It seems to be called Kyōka Suigetsu?"
"Kyōka Suigetsu" Aizen's pupils trembled and then fell into silence. No matter how much Naruto called out, there was no response.
In the sealed space, Aizen covered her face with her right hand, and the corner of her mouth suddenly curved strangely.
As I thought, Naruto could use my power. I didn't even notice this. Reiatsu is still the same, and his body has no abnormality. Could this be a duplicate?
Deep laughter echoed in the sealed space.
"It's fun all of a sudden."
....
After a simple wash, Naruto prepared a rich breakfast for himself.
Two fried eggs and a slice of dry bread.
Because he needed to train, he needed to replenish his nutrition.
After eating breakfast, Naruto went out to Konoha's weapon store.
He needed to forge Sword and weigh it.
"Hello uncle, I need to forge a Sword and weigh it." Naruto came to the blacksmith and said gently.
The blacksmith is crowded, and the apprentices are working hard to forge.
The blacksmith uncle raises his head, bares his upper body, wipes his sweat with his dark palm, frowns, and takes over the sketch of Naruto
"By the way, this is the weapon purchase license given to me by Sandaime grandfather" Naruto took out a license from his arms.
Civilians could not buy weapons in Konoha, and they needed a permit.
"These things." The blacksmith looked at the map quietly and muttered.
The weapons of Konoha's Ninja were the same. They were nothing more than swords, Kunai, and explosive tag. Significantly few ninjas will issue orders to forge swords, which are not technical work
However, why would Naruto buy these things at such a young age?
The blacksmith's uncle looked at Naruto with a probing gaze. He did not ask further and nodded.
It is a fundamental professional quality not to pursue customers' secrets.
"No problem. Three days later, you can pay the deposit first."
Opening the door to do business, he had no reason to refuse Naruto's generous commission.
"Then it will be troublesome."
Leaving the blacksmith, Naruto walked to the training ground.
The blacksmith stared at the sketch in a daze and muttered to himself: "This sword is so long. It's strange. Why did he order a weight of 20KG? Can he bear it at a young age?"
Moments later, he patted his head with a look of realization. "What am I thinking? He is a Nine-tailed Fox. He must be different from ordinary people."
...
When he arrived at the training ground, Naruto began to run around the training ground slowly.
Every time the adrenaline surges, the thrill of breaking the limit is so addictive.
From early morning to noon, when the sun was high in the sky, Naruto was sweating and sitting under the tree, breathing heavily.
Shua, shua, shua. Suddenly, the surrounding bushes made a sound.
"Who?" As Naruto shouted, a thick-browed young man walked out.
