After leaving Konoha, Naruto saw a different face from Konoha Village.
There were rebels and residents of small countries who lived.
There were also people like Haku who had a kind nature but had to hurt others.
There were too much pain and helplessness in this world of war.
Even after the end of the war, the disputes between the villages and countries were still going on in secret places.
Although Konoha looked dark, it was actually much better than the other villages.
After leaving, Naruto's mood inevitably became a little heavy.
This made him even more determined to become stronger.
Beyond the Ninja Village, beyond the boundaries of the country, and standing at the peak of the world.
To change this world!
....
In the sealed space, Aizen's eyes were deep, and he fell into his memories.
The current Soul World was like a Konoha in his eyes, bright and beautiful on the outside, but in reality, it was rotten inside.
The Spirit King, who was clearly a supreme existence, had fallen to the point of becoming a stable tool for the upper class to rule over the lower class.
The upper class, the nobles, and Central 46 had monopolized the right and wealth to be nurtured, and the five great nobles had even monopolized knowledge.
It was as the saying went.
Whoever grasped the past would grasp the future.
Whoever grasped the present would grasp the past.
Mastering the past meant controlling the truth of the existence of the Spirit King, being ignorant of the bottom, and controlling the bottom.
Mastering the present represented that as long as one controlled the current power, one could freely tamper with history.
Just like the present Konoha, the so-called truth was controlled by the higher-ups, and the villagers at the bottom, even Ninja, were reduced to a tool of 'light fire'.
The corrupted higher-ups of the Soul Society controlled all resources. Those talented commoners, Shinigami, almost had no chance to stand up.
It was because Aizen realized this that he wanted to betray the Soul Society and change the existing rules, realizing the true meaning of the world.
This path was destined to be viewed as a villain, an incomprehensible path.
Therefore, Aizen was eager to find existence on the same level as himself and understand each other.
Or perhaps, he would become an ordinary Shinigami in the truest sense.
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. It was precise because of Aizen's terrifying talent that ordinary people could not imagine what he had to bear.
"Naruto, the current you is already walking a path that is destined to never be understood by anyone." Aizen sighed softly, his tone complicated. "To be able to become your Sensei, it is really not bad."
...
When everyone has a clear goal and mission, his motivation will increase dramatically.
He will not fear any danger.
Several days later, after Zabuza recovered from his injuries, he looked at Haku and said in a deep voice, "Next will be the final battle with Kakashi. Haku, as a tool, you have to be ready to kill. My strength is not as good as Kakashi, so you have to kill those three Genin quickly."
Listening to Zabuza, Haku's consciousness drifted farther and farther away.
Suddenly, he heard the gentle and elegant youth he met in the woods one afternoon.
"Haku, you are really gentle and kind."
Gentle? Kindness?
Haku struggled and raised his head.
"Zabuza-sama, I am ready. I will fulfill my duty as a tool."
....
The final battle had arrived!
Team 7, Zabuza, and Haku looked at each other from a distance near the bridge.
And the townspeople who regarded the bridge as the hope of revival were all hiding in their homes, not even daring to watch the battle.
The two sides soon found their respective opponents. With the previous battle experience, Zabuza and Kakashi also understood each other's fighting style, so they were extremely cautious.
Naruto looked at the masked Haku, and from his calm eyes, he could see a trace of determination.
"Have you made up your mind? Interesting." Naruto chuckled and took a step forward.
"Naruto, he is my opponent." Sasuke stopped Naruto and said with a serious face.
"Sorry, Sasuke. This is the last time. Break, Kyōka Suigetsu." The Kyōka Suigetsu in Naruto's hand turned into pieces and sank into the ground.
Under Kyōka Suigetsu's interference, Sasuke began to fight with the air.
Naruto then looked at Haku seriously. "Haku, let me see how strong you are after realizing it."
"Naruto, so you already know." Haku had a complicated expression. He gently took off his mask, revealing his delicate and pretty face.
"Eh? What's going on? Does Naruto know that big sister?" Sakura, who was at the side, was still confused.
"Sakura, please go to the side and rest for a while. This is my battle with Haku." Naruto nodded gently at Sakura.
Then, he looked at Haku with a solemn expression. "Haku, don't hold back. If you don't use your full strength, you will be killed by me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura burst out from Naruto's body.
Haku's forehead was soon covered in dense sweat. He glanced at Sasuke who was still fighting with the air, and his heart was shocked.
What is this unknown Kekkei Genkai? What a dangerous feeling. He is controlling that Genin while also using Chakra to suppress me. What a terrifying Ninja.
He did not dare to look down on Naruto, throwing a dense thousand books at Naruto as a test.
"Haku, this level of attack is completely useless against me."
With an ear-piercing sound, all the thousand books were instantly blocked by Naruto with Kyōka Suigetsu and using Shunpo to appear behind Haku, slashing them with a sword.
Sword fell into the water Clone, and in the next moment, the shattered water Clone suddenly climbed onto Naruto's wrist, turning into a solid icicle.
"Combined with the Suiton, Hyōton is truly terrifying." Naruto's expression froze. A strange force erupted and directly shattered the ice pillar that bound his wrist.
This scene caused Haku to be secretly shocked.
This set of combo moves that he casually used was more than enough to deal with ordinary Chunin, but he did not expect to flip the carriage over at Naruto.
"Haku, if you only have this talent, then you will die today if you don't kill me." Naruto smiled and his tone remained gentle, but his words made Haku's heart tremble.
Zabuza's strength was slightly inferior to Kakashi's. If he could not deal with Naruto quickly, Zabuza would fall into a dangerous situation.
"Hyōton: Makyō Hyōshō ." Facing the powerful Naruto, Haku could only use his full strength and quickly form seals with both hands.
During this time, Naruto stood in place and waited quietly with a smile.
Soon, the water in the air around Naruto began to condense. In a very short period of time, ice mirrors surrounded Naruto and built an ice palace.
Every piece of ice was like a mirror and one could see their own reflection.
Soon, Haku appeared in the ice mirror and said softly,
"Naruto, this is the ice crystal mirror. This is the Ninjutsu that you can't break. You lost."
Haku's voice echoed in the entire ice crystal mirror.
"Interesting. Is this Hyōton's ability? It is indeed interesting." Naruto smiled and pointed.
Hadō's #33.
The blazing flames violently crashed into the mirror that Haku appeared in.
With a deafening sound, the fire blasted a large hole in the mirror, but in an instant, it was covered with dense droplets of water and restored to its original state.
Haku's figure also appeared behind Naruto in the mirror.
"Give up, Naruto. I can freely move around in the mirror. In the ice crystal mirror, I am invincible."
"I am sorry. For Zabuza-sama, I must defeat you."
"Hijutsu: Sensatsu Suishō."
Tiny streams of water appeared around the ground of the Ice Palace and then turned into countless sharp steel needles, stabbing Naruto from all directions.
