Chapter 6 Interception and Speculation
Chapter 6 Interception and Speculation
Just like the school bullying in the previous life, the Naruto world, as a product of the anime/manga series "Little Life," also suffers from severe bullying.
The grandson of the emperor in his previous life was bullied, and the Naruto world is no different.
People who are unconventional, have a withdrawn personality, or are handsome and academically excellent are easily bullied by classmates and upperclassmen if they don't fit in.
Moreover, the common people of Konoha don't care about your identity at all.
Whether you are a commoner or a member of a ninja clan, they will bully you the same way.
Whether it was Kushina Uzumaki, who was protected by Mito Uzumaki and Tsunade and was closely watched by the Third Hokage and the Anbu, who was destined to become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki; or Hinata Hyuga, who became the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, the number one ninja clan in Konoha and the ninja world, after the Uchiha clan was destroyed, both of them experienced bullying at school.
Moreover, their families, backers, and schools will not intervene.
Similarly, when others are bullied, their families and schools do not intervene.
They even condoned and encouraged bullying!
In this world where manpower is scarce, even young apprentice ninjas are sent to the battlefield. Rather than die at the hands of the enemy, it's better to be bullied by one's own people until one drops out of school and goes home to live as an ordinary person.
Without the courage to resist, how can one face bloodshed and assassination in the future?
What kind of useless person would become a ninja?
Gojo Yoru understood this less than a week after enrolling, so he deliberately cultivated a cool and aloof persona, then clashed with an upperclassman. Using his mature mental fortitude and prior knowledge of ninja basics, he defeated an upperclassman who had advanced to the sixth grade, thus becoming famous overnight.
In the eyes of the school's teachers and some others, Gojo Yoru was already a commoner genius.
With both parents being Jonin (high-ranking ninja) and descendants of martyrs, his future was bright.
The only downside is that he doesn't fit in with others.
This may be due to the trauma of losing both parents in childhood.
Once this is solved, he will most likely become a pillar of the village in the future.
To resolve Gojo Yoru's inner conflict, a catalyst is needed.
So, is this opportunity a person or an event?
……
Upon entering the classroom, Gojo Yoru sat down at the second table in the last row.
The desks at the Ninja Academy are all for three people.
However, Gojo Yoru sat alone.
Of course, it wasn't that he kicked all his deskmates out; rather, after passing the entrance exam, the school had a probationary period.
If a student is still unable to refine chakra during this assessment period, it means that although his physical and mental energy meet the standards, he does not possess the qualities of a ninja, and the only option is to advise him to withdraw.
This situation occurs in every first-grade class.
Three students from Class 1 were also expelled, including two of Gojo Yoru's deskmates.
Upon seeing Gojo Yoru enter, the previously noisy classroom immediately quieted down considerably.
At least five of the students around Ye didn't dare to speak loudly, only whispering among themselves.
The students in the row in front of Gojo Yoru kept their heads down and didn't dare to say a word.
Only the female classmates who liked Gojo Yoru's face and strength were still secretly observing him, but they didn't dare to get close to him either.
That's a good thing, at least no one's bothering him.
Gojo Yoru rested her chin on one hand and twirled a pen in the other, seemingly killing time, but in reality, she had already begun to think in a habitual way.
After awakening his spatial abilities, Gojo Yoru never updated his game guides again, and he rarely went into the basement.
With this power, which is no less than a bloodline limit, Gojo Yoru no longer needs to follow the original game strategy and turn himself into a patchwork monster.
Therefore, most of the strategies for gaining power have been abandoned by Gojo Yoru.
However, Gojo Yoru still retains some of the strategies.
One of them is the beginning of the game guide—intercepting Kushina Uzumaki!
In the original story, Minato Namikaze's rise to power was due not only to his talent but also to two benefactors.
One was Jiraiya, who brought him connections and the Flying Thunder God Technique; the other was Kushina Uzumaki, who brought him Tsunade's support and the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.
With the help of these two people, Minato Namikaze gained the approval of two legendary Sannin and the Hokage. After Kushina Uzumaki became the perfect Jinchuriki, he had the strongest ninja in Konoha as his backer, making him invincible to the point that even Danzo Shimura couldn't do anything to him.
Just like some people in their past lives who married a good wife and immediately rose to great heights.
As long as he can intercept Kushina Uzumaki, Gojo Yoru, as a transmigrator, is fully confident that he can soar to great heights.
If he weren't talented enough, if he didn't come from a good family, or if he wasn't the same age and classmate as Minato Namikaze, Yoru Gojo wouldn't dare to have such thoughts.
But after discovering that he was in the same class as Minato Namikaze, Yoru Gojo knew that this was a chance to defy fate.
Therefore, he abandoned the idea of befriending his peers and becoming close friends with the ninja clan members, and instead cultivated a persona of an aloof genius.
Only a bond can resolve his inner conflict.
Kushina Uzumaki, whose clan had just been wiped out, was his kind; they were each other's antidote.
With this setup, Gojo Yoru believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Mito Uzumaki behind him would never stop him from getting close to Kushina Uzumaki, unless Minato Namikaze was Hiruzen Sarutobi's biological father, and Kushina Uzumaki was sent by the latter to honor his father.
In that case, Gojo Yoru would accept it.
Otherwise, Kushina Uzumaki and Yoru Gojo would definitely intercept her!
Gojo Yoru's current weakness is very obvious: his chakra control and the amount of space-time chakra.
As a transmigrator, he had already mastered climbing trees and wading through water. His chakra control was actually quite strong, even surpassing that of a newly graduated genin.
However, even with this level of chakra control, it is still impossible to use space-time chakra to perform ninjutsu.
The fact that space-time chakra can manifest outside the body means that it can definitely be used to perform techniques, but the difficulty is extremely high.
How can I further improve my chakra control?
There are several ways to do it.
First, one must master the Rasengan, an A-rank ninjutsu developed by Minato Namikaze without hand seals. It is not only a top-tier form transformation but also a very advanced form of chakra control.
This is also the only ninjutsu in the original work whose complete training method is revealed. Gojo Yoru was deeply impressed by it, and after he regained his mobility, he immediately wrote down the training method.
If his chakra capacity and chakra control weren't still inadequate, he would have started training long ago.
Secondly, he could train in medical ninjutsu. If he could master chakra scalpels, Gojo Yoru's chakra control would not only become stronger, but his hands might even turn into black blades.
The third is sealing techniques, which are the most advanced chakra control abilities. Like space-time abilities, they have an absurdly high lower and upper limits.
Sealing techniques are utterly unreasonable; even the progenitor of chakra fell victim to them.
Gojo Yoru was very curious whether the Yin Seal could solve the problem of the space-time chakra being locked.
If possible, then Gojo Yoru would have one more trump card to save his life.
This was the thought that immediately came to Gojo Yoru after he discovered that there was a "bottleneck" in his body.
As such, Gojo Yoru became even more determined to snatch Kushina Uzumaki.
