With Rock Lee stepping forward, the relationship between the two seemed to be closer.
"Naruto, in my eyes, you are not the nine-tailed demon fox. You are my friend! You are my friend who recognizes me!" After that, Rock Lee said seriously to Naruto.
"Thank you."
Rock Lee was the first person to stand up and speak up for Naruto.
It was impossible to say that he was not moved.
But according to Aizen's words: sympathy and emotion are pathetic and should be abandoned.
Therefore, Naruto quickly put this emotion behind him.
He looked at Rock Lee rationally.
These simple-minded hot-blooded youths were often the best 'comrades-in-arms'.
"See you at the training ground tomorrow." After dinner, the two decided to meet again tomorrow.
....
In the days to come, Naruto had one more training partner.
Rock Lee bought weights with Naruto. He was not interested in Sword, so he spent most of his training time in physical training and boxing.
Although it was still rough, it was at least good.
And Naruto had already started the cultivation of a Sword.
Holding the dark green Kyōka Suigetsu, waving the sword under the guidance of Aizen
Slash is divided into Kendo and Slashing. Kendo is Zanpakutō's fighting technique. It cultivates a powerful spiritual force by tempering the mind and will."
Slashing is similar to the Iaido. You can kill with one blow, or you can be killed with one blow. Slashing can be honest, or it can be despicable. It has only one purpose, to defeat the opponent. In other words, slashing is a killing skill for fighting."
Aizen's voice echoed in Naruto's mind.
In the world of Shinigami, Head-Captain Yamamoto had tried to teach Kenpachi kendo when he entered the team because he hoped that kendo would replace the original bloody fighting methods with standardized fighting skills and kendo spirit, and desired that the other party would spiritually realize something.
Unfortunately, the latter had no interest in learning at all.
Combined with the history of Gotei 13, Yhwach described the past Gotei 13 as "Ghost of the Sword" because the former members of Gotei 13 used Slashing instead of Kendo.
Later, Head-Captain Yamamoto and the first Kenpachi turned to practice Kendo, and the outlook of the entire Gotei 13 also changed.
Aizen understood the history of Gotei 13 and scoffed at the way of the sword.
In his opinion, Zanpakutō was a killing weapon. The so-called spirit of the sword was simply a burden in battle.
The current Gotei 13 was too weak and posed no threat to him.
"You can decide whether to learn kendo or slashing."
Aizen left the choice to Naruto.
"I choose Slashing." As expected, Naruto chose Slashing without hesitation.
Slashing? I look forward to the scene of your first murder. The first time your face is always fearful and panicky. Like flowers blooming on the cliff, we will stop at the cliff instead of stepping into the sky without fear like flowers. Once you take that step successfully, you will no longer be the original Naruto. The corners of Aizen's mouth are curved, and his eyes are full of fun.
....
One year later.
Year 53 of Konoha.
Today was also the day Rock Lee entered Ninja's school.
The day before he entered the school, Rock Lee pulled Naruto and chatted for an entire afternoon.
The general meaning is that he is very nervous and hopes his ninja talent is good. He hopes to become a ninja with outstanding physical skills but not bad ninjutsu.
He had great expectations for himself.
Naruto did not send Rock Lee to Ninja school. He did not want Rock Lee to suffer cold treatment because of him.
Giving Rock Lee a sincere blessing, he quickly weaved through the trees.
By gathering Reiatsu under his feet, he could accelerate his speed. This was also the basic application that Shunpo needed to master before.
This year, Naruto also had a general understanding of the world of Shinigami, where Aizen was.
In Shinigami's view of the world, there were two concepts of Reiatsu and Reiryoku.
The higher Reiatsu was, the more spiritual energy he could use.
Spiritual energy was the primary material that formed the soul.
A shinigami can use the Reiryoku in his body to create spiritual pressure through external leakage, which can play a role in frightening the enemy and can also use the spiritual strength to solidify various weapons or enchantments.
Naruto has good talent and has mastered the basic use of Reiatsu this year.
This made Aizen very shocked.
For the newbie Shinigami, the most challenging thing was Reiatsu's control.
But it just so happened that Naruto did all of this perfectly.
In this regard, Naruto was naturally proud and full of thoughts about the future Ninja's life.
"My Shinigami's talent is so outstanding. Presumably, Ninja's talent is not bad. I want to become a Ninja proficient in Ninjutsu and Shinigami proficient in Kidō."
When Naruto returned home, he did not train today because he would start a vital thing in his life, Chakra withdrawal.
The five-year-old Naruto could already start cultivating Chakra, and Sandaime promised to send Naruto related books on the day of school.
According to Konoha's Ninja School regulations, children who were six years old and had Ninja talent could go to Ninja school to study.
Naruto was still a year from turning six, but he was ready to learn the relevant knowledge in advance.
The people of various clans in Konoha would also start Chakra's cultivation before entering the school. On the one hand, the family has the resources, and on the other hand, they also hope that the clansmen can become outstanding after enrolling so as not to lose the family's name.
The higher-ups of Konoha had a fierce argument because of Naruto's cultivation.
The protagonist is naturally Sandaime and Danzo, two good friends who love and kill each other.
Danzo said: "Hand Naruto over to Root, and I can turn him into a perfect Konoha weapon in history. He will become an existence that will shock the other villages."
And Sandaime believed that Naruto could ideally inherit the will of fire, allowing him to enter Ninja school and form a bond with other students.
After all, with the successful case of Uzumaki Kushina, she found her true love during her studies, becoming one of Konoha's top fighters, and even gave birth to Uzumaki Naruto.
This proved that Sandaime's theory could be implemented.
In the end, under Danzo's argument, Sandaime again brought up Hokage's theory, successfully making Danzo speechless from the 'debate' and angrily left.
"Since you have already decided, why do you still ask for my opinion?" Danzo's dissatisfaction with Sandaime deepened, and his desire for the position of Hokage also increased.
But no matter what, Naruto was the biggest winner of this debate.
He had the opportunity to learn from Chakra in advance.
Naruto sat on the bed in the room, holding Kyōka Suigetsu with both hands, waiting excitedly like a child about to get his favorite toy.
If he learned Chakra, could he use Ninjutsu?
What was the use of Chakra?
What was the difference between Chakra and Reiatsu?
His mind was filled with the desire to explore the unknown.
Clang! Clang! Clang! There was a sudden knock at the door. Naruto immediately ran to the door excitedly and opened the door. There was no one outside, but two books were on the floor.
"Thank you." Naruto nodded slightly to the trees and returned to the house with the books.
The door was closed again, and the leaves shook slightly.
