Chapter 04: Paying grievances with virtue, how can we repay virtue?

"Where the leaves of the trees dance, one will find flames, the shadow of fire will illuminate the village, and once again, the leaves will sprout!"

This sentence is the central content of the Will of Fire.

The story is about abandoning prejudices and protecting those from the same village.

Just like Konoha, it ignites its selfless dedication to take care of its younger generations. What it pursues is peace and a bright future of love with everyone in the village.

This spirit, called the Will of Fire, is inherited from the First Hokage Senju Hashirama in the village of Konoha.

Naruto understands that Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Third Hokage, wants to have this spirit.

Naruto, who has been taken care of by him, also hopes to possess the spirit and love each other in the village.

However, reality does not allow it.

Naruto wondered if he had done anything wrong, but almost all the villagers treated him with coldness, even shouting at him and attacking him.

If it hadn't been for the asylum of the Third Hokage, Naruto might be dead now.

And even with the refuge he provided, his normal life was affected. Even with money in hand, no one wanted to sell him anything and everyone ignored him.

In this case, Naruto has no way to identify with the so-called Will of Fire.

To pay grievances with virtue, how can we repay virtue?

Naruto recognized this phrase from the Analects.

Paying grievances directly and repaying virtue with virtue is the way of a son.

At this moment, Naruto still doesn't know what kind of attitude he should have towards the villagers who will treat him with coldness once he grows up.

But loving them as described by the Will of Fire, Naruto certainly couldn't do it.

After setting aside the book "The Will of Fire," Naruto flipped through the other books one by one, all of which were of great interest to him.

Compared to the historical stories that took place in another world, the history and geography of the world they are in are really more attractive to Naruto.

However, Naruto is more interested in the content of the books "Detailed Explanation of Chakra Refinement," "Bunshin no Jutsu," "Henge no Jutsu," "Basic Methods of Physical Skill Exercise," "Ninjutsu Casting," etc...

These books contain the knowledge of how to become a ninja.

It is inevitable that Naruto also longs to become a ninja.

"Although I don't know what to do in the future, being a ninja and having enough power to live is the foundation of all dreams. Grandpa said that after I graduate from ninja school, he won't give me my living expenses anymore!"

With this thought in mind, Naruto opened "Detailed Explanation of Chakra Refinement."

Although he has never entered a ninja school, Naruto still knows that chakra is the foundation of a ninja.

"Chakra is a type of powerful energy mixed with physical energy extracted from 130 trillion cells of the human body, and it is the basis of all physical ninjutsu arts. The extraction method is..."

Open this book and analyze the essence of Chakra.

There is also the actual content of meridians, acupuncture points, the nature of cells, how to improve overall Chakra control, and finally, some specific methods for refining and applying Chakra.

With the continuous learning of this knowledge, Naruto's eyes seemed to open the door to a New World.

He immersed himself in it unknowingly.

From this point of view, it was already night.

For the first time, Naruto didn't go out at night and, after quickly solving the dinner problem, he continued reading the "Detailed Explanation of Chakra Refinement".

Soon, it was approaching ten o'clock at night, and Naruto finally finished reading the "Detailed Explanation of Refined Chakra".

"Alright, try refining Chakra for the first time and sleep regardless of success or failure."

After washing up, Naruto sat cross-legged on the bed, encouraged himself, and then sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, entering a state of concentration according to the method recorded in the book, and began the process of refining Chakra for the first time.

Then he fell asleep...

His unconscious body curled up in the quilt, his facial expression became calm, and his breathing gradually became even.

Seeing this, the ANBU in charge of monitoring and protecting Naruto shook their head and said in their heart, "After all, he's still a child. It's still too difficult to refine Chakra even for a Jinchuriki!"

However, when no one noticed, transcendental changes were occurring in Naruto's body.

Threads of blue energy converged and formed in Naruto's meridians, and then began to circulate rapidly up and down his body, soon turning into a stream.

Furthermore, it kept increasing...

"Where is this?"

Naruto, who had just fallen asleep, found that he didn't appear in the place he called "Uzumaki Naruto's exclusive learning and entertainment space". In short, he appeared in a dark and damp space.

At that moment, Naruto was standing in front of a huge iron gate shaped like a fence, with a sealed note stuck on the gate, and there was a puddle of water under his feet.

The surrounding light was very dim, and Naruto could barely see that behind the iron gate was the silhouette of a huge beast resembling a mountain.

At this moment, this giant beast exuded a cold and odious breath throughout its body.

It seemed to sense Naruto's arrival, the cold breath surging through the iron gate, enveloping Naruto, making him involuntarily tremble, and his heart suddenly burst with his own unbearable experiences during this time.

Then, Naruto could clearly feel the killing intent rising from the depths of his heart and the desire to destroy everything.

It's just that this feeling comes and goes quickly.

Naruto soon suppressed the killing intent in his heart, or the killing intent still existed, but it could no longer affect Naruto's sanity.

The giant hidden in the darkness saw this and snorted softly.

He didn't expect that Naruto, at just four years old, could resist the negative influence of his Chakra and not become violent.

It's logical that even though there aren't many chakras that can penetrate the seal, it's not something a four-year-old child can resist.

However, he didn't give up.

"Kid, don't you hate it? Don't you want to destroy those who treat you coldly?"

"Come on, don't resist, I can feel the darkness in your heart, accept my power, kill them all and make them regret everything they've done to you."

The strong, vigorous voice resonated in the space, with a strong enchanting tone.

Along with the words, a huge orange fox with nine tails flying behind its back, smiling, emerged from the darkness and appeared in front of Naruto.
