If it weren't for Aomi not having any intention to kill it, it would probably be dead by now...
The Nine-tails obediently lowered its head, but in its heart, it was roaring, "You damned brat! Once this dangerous man is gone, I'll settle today's score with you one by one!"
Aomi turned his head to look at Naruto hiding behind him and naturally patted his head. "What's your name? Just call me Aomi."
Naruto shyly lowered his head but squinted his eyes with contentment. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Brother Aomi can just call me Naruto!"
"Alright."
Aomi reached out his hand towards Naruto, indicating for his small hand to come up. "From today onwards, we are friends. I hope we'll get along well in the days to come..."
Upon hearing the word 'friend', Naruto started to giggle foolishly.
For him, this was truly an unfamiliar term.
Naruto hastily extended his little hand, tightly gripping Aomi's big hand while repeatedly reciting Aomi's words: "We are... friends!"
And at this moment.
A glimmer of light flashed in Aomi's eyes, and a peculiar Chakra was injected deep into Naruto's soul.
This seemingly ordinary scene was actually Aomi's unique Dojutsu, a combination of multiple Otsutsuki bloodlines in his Rinnegan!
It wasn't copied from anyone else but was a Dojutsu awakened from Aomi himself, called "Bonke Jizaiten".
The ability of "Bonke Jizaiten" is to choose a creature that recognizes Aomi from the heart as the target of the jutsu. The effect is such that when the target becomes stronger through Aomi's teachings, or reverses their original fate...
It will multiply the feedback based on the unique characteristics of the target!
The multiplication factor is directly proportional to the depth of the relationship between the target and Aomi.
Simply put, Aomi's Dojutsu is like a "Disciple Gifts Return" + "Fate Reversal" system.
This is also why Aomi wanted to come to the Otherworld.
In the time-space where Aomi resided, the strength of most ninjas in the Ninja World had already stabilized. Attempting to increase strength through forcefully infusing power wasn't something that could be easily changed by teaching.
Moreover, building relationships with the ninjas was too cumbersome and troublesome...
In addition, the ninjas of this time-space had already reached the final confrontation stage, where they just needed to quietly wait for the Six Paths Sage to willingly explode the last gold coins for the ninjas, letting them increase their strength and subsequently provide feedback to Aomi.
Therefore, instead of fixing an old archive, it's better to open a new one across time-space!
Naruto, of the Otherworld, is Aomi's choice.
As the subject of the jutsu, Naruto possesses talents and potential that other targets don't have...
His own hardware is solid and only needs slight fine-tuning to rise rapidly, while allowing Aomi, who possesses the special talent of "Child of Fortune", to see a similar feeling in Naruto...
Without a doubt, Naruto is the Child of Fortune in this time-space!
After all, in the time-space where Aomi does not exist, Naruto is the protagonist of this world...
If Naruto grows all the way, becoming a Six Paths Sage Level powerhouse under Aomi's teachings, overturning fate with his own power and becoming a completely different top-tier powerhouse...
Then Aomi does not need to take any Chakra from this time-space, nor does he need to violate the Space-Time Law, but can gain the strength of nearly the entire world stacked together from Otherworld's Naruto.
The cost-performance ratio is shockingly high.
"Big brother! When can you teach me Ninjutsu?"
Naruto pulled Aomi's hand, eagerly saying, "I really want to get stronger! I want to prove myself to everyone in the village! I want to defeat that arrogant Sasuke, I want the Ninja School teachers to praise me..."
Aomi smiled lightly. "I can teach you anytime, Naruto... but before that, I have a question to ask you."
Aomi stared into Naruto's eyes, softly saying, "Why do you... need to prove yourself to the people in the village? You are you, and you haven't done anything wrong, why seek others' approval?"
"Naruto, I hope you can understand your true intentions, rather than struggling under the gaze of others."
Naruto listened blankly to Aomi's words and suddenly realized something was off.
Yes...
Why does he need to prove himself to the people in the village, why seek others' approval?
He hasn't done anything wrong, right?
Naruto's expression shifted, and he slowly squatted down. The overly optimistic and resilient personality of the past disappeared, replaced by dissatisfaction with malice, just like any normal person would feel, rising in his heart.
Why?
Why should he be treated like that!
"Brother Aomi, have I done something wrong?"
Naruto took a deep breath, trying to find the answer from Aomi: "Since this scary fox is inside of me, there must be a reason, right?"
"Although this fox doesn't seem strong under your control... but to the Ninja School teachers, I think those guys definitely can't beat it!"
Aomi smiled faintly and nodded. "Very clever, Naruto, your analysis is quite correct."
"Your background is relatively complex... and the treatment you received, I can't say if it's fair or not, that requires your own judgment, it's something only you can assess."
After Aomi sealed the Asura Chakra.
It became evident that Naruto, who was usually overly optimistic and absorbed the towering malice in Konoha like a sponge without being moved at all, started to change!
He began to contemplate whether there was a problem with his own situation...
Instead of behaving like a fool, continuing to endure bullying without thinking of how to resist and strive for fair treatment, he surprisingly sought the acceptance of the bullies, like a Stockholm syndrome sufferer, developing a dependent emotion towards the abuser.
The influence of Asura Chakra on Naruto was evident.
"My background?"
Naruto looked up in extreme surprise. "Brother Aomi, do you know my background? Am I not the reincarnation of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox? Everyone in the village says so!"
"See, I have this fox inside me, so they must be right!"
Aomi shook his head.
"Of course not, Naruto... you are like any normal person, with a father and a mother, and you are not the reincarnation of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, you could even be considered a hero of this village."
Aomi said softly, "If you want, I can tell you these things..."
"Although I can't act on my own initiative, due to my special situation, I can only reside within you... but I have already roughly understood this information."
Aomi pointed to the two floating light spheres beside Naruto.
"If I'm not mistaken... one is your father's Chakra, the other is your mother's Chakra. If Naruto wants to see them now, I can help you awaken them."
Naruto rushed over to the Chakras of Minato and Kushina, staring incredulously at these two light spheres!
He really has a father and a mother?
Why, why has no one ever told him!
"Brother Aomi, can you let me meet my parents? I've never seen them!"
Naruto's expression was full of pleading, looking at Aomi with pitiful eyes. "I'm begging you..."
Aomi sighed and shook his head.
Seeing Aomi shaking his head, Naruto's heart tightened.
Didn't he agree just now? Why rejected now...
"Naruto, there's no need to use the word 'beg' with me, we are friends."
Aomi corrected Naruto's incorrect wording and pointed continuously at the Chakras representing Kushina and Namikaze Minato. "Are you ready, Naruto..."
"You are about to meet your father and mother."
Naruto nodded extremely nervously, his eyes filled with longing with a hint of timidity.
His father and mother...
What kind of people will they be?
And why would they leave him alone...
