Chapter 358: Asura World Spirit

[Mizuki, huh? This is interesting...]

A sinister smile formed on his lips; fortunately, the mask concealed his face. However, this brief silence caught the attention of Naruto and Sasuke.

"Naruto, I have an easy path for you. You might be able to learn the cloning jutsu effortlessly, so you can graduate without any issues."

"Really?! Yuki-nii, you're my savior!"

"Calm down, Naruto... Don't hug me!"

After reassuring Naruto, Yuki whispered his plan.

"Is there really such a scroll?"

"Of course..."

After revealing the details, Naruto instantly became excited. If this scroll could help him graduate, he wouldn't hesitate.

"..."

Sasuke, who also overheard, narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but look at Yuki.

After all, if what Yuki said is true, this scroll contains numerous forbidden jutsu and must be heavily guarded. Even he felt tempted, but for Naruto to steal it would make him a criminal, not to mention it's not an easy theft. However, Sasuke believed that Yuki would never harm Naruto.

And he was right because Yuki was already starting to manipulate things and had the perfect scapegoat.

As for why he didn't give the jutsu directly to Naruto, with Rasiel in his possession, there was no jutsu he couldn't record.

This was due to Naruto's growth; without challenges, a child would never become a good ninja. Iruka was a clear example. So, this was a perfect challenge for Naruto.

"..."

Hiruzen, who watched from a distance, frowned, having a bad feeling. Yuki's presence at this graduation was expected, as was the dismissal of Kakashi.

(Yuki... What are you planning?)

This child's mind is like a fog, and Hiruzen couldn't see through it. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do.

"Yuki!!"

"Yuki...."

Yuki's arrival didn't go unnoticed by the crowd, especially Ino and Hinata, who didn't hesitate to leave the embrace of their families and run towards him. This left their parents speechless, with Inoichi grinding his teeth and Hiashi's forehead veins swelling.

Yuki was a common enemy to the parents.

"Do you see? I graduated! Now, I'm a ninja!"

Displaying her headband with enthusiasm, Ino spun around and smiled happily, expecting her reward.

"Good girl."

"Hehehe."

"Yuki..."

Hinata, on the other hand, lowered her head shyly and played with her fingers, but it was obvious she also wanted the same as Ino.

"You too, Hinata."

Caressing their heads, Yuki sighed. These two girls had so much energy, especially Ino. He missed them a lot, and with all the problems he faced in other worlds, being with them was comforting. Seeing the two parents glaring at him with fire in their eyes, he smiled, thankfully neither girl asked about Yuki's mask.

The next day, Yuki's shadow flickered, and from it emerged a time clone.

"Really? It was that easy..."

Listening to everything that happened the night before, Yuki didn't know what to think.

Everything went as planned; Naruto became a ninja.

After leaving a message about the secret scroll for Naruto, a clone followed him closely to ensure everything went smoothly. It also prevented the Anbu from intervening. Regardless, that scroll was a forbidden one, and Naruto stealing it was all thanks to his clone.

However, the results were better than expected. The mouse took the bait his clone intentionally left, became the scapegoat, and was blamed. Meanwhile, Naruto learned the Clone Jutsu.

It was just as Yuki had thought. With the immense amount of chakra, the jutsu posed no problem for Naruto.

What was beyond his expectations was Iruka's intervention, defending Naruto.

Yuki had read about Iruka's history and was aware that Iruka's parents died in the Kyubi attack twelve years ago. Thus, he held some resentment towards Naruto. Yuki had always been cautious around Iruka, fearing he might be pretending to harm Naruto. However, his concerns were in vain because Iruka treated Naruto like family.

"I guess with this, Team 7 is complete."

Stretching both hands, Yuki no longer had to worry about the future of his little siblings.

"It's time to visit the old man..."

But as someone who enjoyed messing with the Third Hokage, Yuki wasn't going to let the old man off so easily. That old man had to pay for his lack of courage.

["Do you really enjoy manipulating people? You're quite interesting."]

"Hm?"

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his head. The black egg in his spiritual world trembled slightly, announcing its presence. Yuki had forgotten about it.

However, even though Yuki left it to its own devices in his spiritual world, the black egg observed everything Yuki experienced due to their connection. It had been a brief enjoyment and had helped gather information about Yuki's whereabouts.

She was quite surprised, especially by the type of energy these people used. Not to mention, she heard the entire conversation Yuki had with Tsunade. This expanded her horizons, and if everything Yuki said was true, then she was in serious trouble.

She also couldn't help but think about how precocious this brat was, bringing a woman home at such a young age.

"I see you're more at ease now."

Tilting his head, Yuki sighed with relief. He closed his eyes and entered his spiritual world. This black egg was a mystery; even with Rasiel, he couldn't gather information. This piqued his curiosity about its origins.

["Hmp! Don't think I'll fall for your lies. I've seen how you enjoy playing with people's minds. These tricks won't work on this Queen."]

"Is that so? Are you ready to tell me what you are now, little egg?"

["How shameless! How many times do I have to tell you? You have to call me Milady Queen! Milady Queen!"]

Ignoring the black egg jumping up and down in anger, Yuki shook his head and continued.

"Alright, let me introduce myself. My name is Yuki Uchiha, a ninja from Konoha and the Champion of the world... And you are?"

["Hmp! This Queen is a World Spirit, belonging to the most powerful of the 7 spiritual worlds—A Asura World Spirit!"]

(World of Spirits?)

As far as Yuki remembered, Est was also born in a spiritual world, but the category to which it belonged was a mystery. Moreover, Est was a spirit of the sword, while this black egg was a World Spirit.

Bringing a hand to his chin, Yuki immersed himself in his thoughts. There are various categories for spirits. Beings like Kurumi, Ais, Est, and this Asura World Spirit.

Although there are many differences due to their power, all of them have spiritual energy in their bodies. In some way, they were connected.

["Now that you know where this Queen comes from... get me out of here, you wretched child! It's uncomfortable, and I can't move."]

"Hm? Can't you break this fragile barrier? Are you a weak spirit?"

["How dare you underestimate this Queen! This barrier can only be broken from the outside! I warn you, if it weren't for this Queen being injured, you would never have been able to kidnap me, you rascal!"]

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say."

Rolling his eyes, Yuki didn't believe it. This egg-shaped barrier was so fragile that even the slightest touch would break it. However, this supposedly powerful spirit couldn't get out.

Yuki was sure that if it were Est trapped in that barrier, one punch would be enough to break free.

["Aghh! Don't you dare look at me with those pitying eyes! I swear, if this Queen gets out of this annoying barrier, I'll hit you so hard your mother won't recognize you!"]

"Really? Then hit me... Oh, mighty spirit."

["Ahhhhh! Rascal! Stop mocking me! I swear I'll hit you!"]

With various veins swelling here and there, the egg began jumping in fury again, while Yuki narrowed his eyes. He already had a solution on how to deal with this Black Egg.

"Let's make it interesting. I'll help you get out of that barrier, but... What are you willing to pay?"

With his thumb and index finger touching, Yuki's intention was clear; he wouldn't move unless there were benefits.

In this regard, Yuki was similar to the [Shop], a pair of swindlers who wouldn't hesitate to squeeze their customers dry.

["Are you charging me? Ahhh, this is the worst misfortune of this Queen! Wretched child, how dare you?!"]

"No money?"

Shrugging, Yuki lost all interest in this World Spirit. Due to this, Yuki turned around; he was ready to leave, but it was all an act.

["Wait! This Queen has no money, but I can offer many benefits!"]
