Suddenly, that last voice made Aoki's heart race.
"Uhuk...! Uhuk...! Huhh... haah... Huhh... haah... Is that the voice of Madara Uchiha?" Aoki murmured very softly. His breath was ragged, and cold sweat drenched his face. Aoki's words were barely audible, even to Kuroshiro, who was nearby.
"Huh? What did you just say, kid?" Kuroshiro asked, his face showing confusion.
"Eh, nothing," Aoki replied, still shaken. "It's just that I heard various kinds of voices... the voices of people who have lost their loved ones, the voices of people who want to die, the voices of people who hate war, the voices of people who want to destroy the world... the voices..."
"Enough!" Kuroshiro cut in sharply. His eyes stared at Aoki seriously. "I know, kid. I understand. That is the challenge in trying to absorb Natural Energy. The voices you hear are the result of the Negative Energy stored within the Natural Energy itself. Those voices come from many souls that are suffering and struggling."
Aoki fell silent, contemplating Kuroshiro's words.
"From now on, you must practice absorbing Natural Energy while resisting the influence of those voices. Don't let them control you. This is an important first step in your journey. Do you understand, kid?" Kuroshiro explained, looking at Aoki with hope.
"I understand, Master Kuroshiro!" Aoki replied with an enthusiastic face, although deep down, he felt frustrated.
'Damn, if it's just this, I can do it. I just need to absorb Natural Energy, but later I won't know if what I'm doing is right or not. Sigh... it seems I'm a very unlucky Reincarnator,' Aoki thought to himself, even though he hid his frustration well.
"Alright, kid, now you must absorb Natural Energy according to the specified time, which is six hours at night, six hours in the morning. If you can't do it in the morning, you can do it in the afternoon, but not in the evening," Kuroshiro explained, giving instructions firmly.
"Oh, I understand, Master Kuroshiro. Alright, I will try to absorb it again," Aoki said with determination. This time, Aoki tried to ignore the strange voices that had previously disturbed him.
However, before Aoki could try again, he suddenly felt his head start to heat up, and his chest felt tight. Without warning, Aoki's body collapsed to the floor.
"Haah... Huuhhh... What is... Haah... happening to me?" Aoki struggled to speak, although every breath he took felt heavy. His body began to heat up uncontrollably, and sweat poured down from all over him.
"Kid! Are you alright?" Kuroshiro quickly approached Aoki, looking at him with concern.
"Master... Kuroshiro... my body... Haahh..." Aoki could only utter a few words, struggling to speak as his body began to tremble violently, as if all his energy was being drained.
"Your body is very hot, kid! Damn! Why didn't you say that you have too little chakra! Just by calling me, you already experienced Excessive Chakra Deficiency. If this continues, your life could be at risk! You foolish child!" Kuroshiro growled in a panic, before quickly jumping and sitting on Aoki's body.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Haah... Huuhh..." Aoki tried to apologize, but the words were hard to get out of his mouth, more difficult than he had imagined.
"Don't talk! I will try to heal you!" Kuroshiro ordered firmly, starting to use Healing Jutsu to stabilize Aoki's condition.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, in the Hokage building, Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting in his office. Hiruzen was calmly smoking his pipe, watching the village from behind the window. Suddenly, a man wearing a bear mask and Konoha Anbu clothing appeared before Hiruzen, kneeling respectfully before him.
