Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 298

The Naruto world, the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

A shooting star streaked across the sky, passing precisely through the magical portal that appeared out of nowhere, and then entered the top-floor window of the tall building.

The Konoha ninja on guard saw the black runes appearing above the barrier gate. In fact, they didn't even need the runes to confirm; they all knew that the person who came was their Hokage.

There are many ninjas in the entire ninja world who can fly, but only the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village can fly so dazzlingly and magnificently!

The Fifth Hokage, Natsume, suddenly flew away from Loulan in the early morning seven days ago without notifying anyone.

No Konoha ninja found this strange. It was perfectly normal for a high-ranking ninja to suddenly find a secluded place to train in seclusion for a period of time after having an inspiration.

The Konoha ninjas were not surprised to see the Hokage leave; they simply informed the 15-person decision-making council and continued with their missions.

After the reform, Konoha no longer requires the Hokage to be on duty at all times. It is fine if he leaves for seven or eight months, as long as he does not miss the year-end summary meeting.

Seven days ago, Xia Zuo flew into the depths of the Great Desert because he could not control the powerful Five Elements Force. He spent three days digesting the Five Elements Force.

This time, not only did the collapse of the Bloodline Limit Ring and the Bloodline Elimination Ring that he had feared not occur, but a reversed Five Elements Ring was also formed on the basis of the two rings.

The coaxial, reversible double-ring structure greatly increases operational stability and improves chakra extraction efficiency.

In other words, Xia Zuo now has a faster reaction speed and greater attack power in battle.

Over the next four days, he resolved one of his biggest problems: ideals and willpower.

Pirate Shaza discovered that once power reaches the pinnacle of the pirate world, simply stacking soul power is no longer sufficient to control even higher and stronger forces.

To avoid becoming a slave to power, one must control power with an unbreakable will, and a great will can only originate from the guidance of ideals.

Pirate Xia Zuo set his sights on setting foot on the stars and the sea, thus initially resolving the issue of willpower.

Recalling the memories of the pirate Shaza, Shaza, the Fifth Hokage, realized that he had already shown signs of a problem, and the power that his will could not control was showing a tendency to dissipate.

The problem actually began to emerge after the last return of the dream.

With the help of Saiyan Shaza's 9 battle power, Shaza leaped to the Six Paths level, but his bloodline limit did not change as a result.

This was a very strange sign, but Xia Zuo ignored it.

This time, after digesting the power of the five elements, the problem was completely triggered. After his power formed a double-ring reversal, the enormous power could not be released and began to surge wildly within his body.

Upon discovering that he was facing a fatal crisis, Xia Zuo forcibly channeled the power of the Five Elements Reincarnation into the Sharingan between his eyebrows, instantly causing the eye to explode.

After regenerating through its powerful self-healing ability, it was once again injected and exploded.

After repeating this process 36 times, Xia Zuo finally resolved the crisis of the Five Elements Power by forcibly infusing power, and even transformed the Sharingan between his eyebrows into a red Rinnegan.

This is the disastrous result of Xia Zuo's will failing to control his own power, allowing it to run rampant.

If he didn't have the eye between his eyebrows, his original eyes would have inevitably become the target of the power infusion; if Xia Zuo didn't have superhuman self-healing ability, he would have become completely blind.

Even though he managed to digest the power of the five elements through his self-healing ability, Xia Zuo discovered that his Sharingan bloodline limit had been severely damaged, so much so that the upgraded Rinnegan could not be closed and was constantly consuming his chakra.

The burden of the Rinnegan is incomparable to that of a single Sharingan.

After reviewing the incident, Hokage Natsuko realized he had made a grave mistake.

Furthermore, he discovered that the upper limit of the ninja world was not as high as he had imagined; the Six Paths level was the limit that the ninja world could accommodate.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's Bloodstained Net far exceeded the limits of the ninja world.

From this perspective, whether it was Kaguya Otsutsuki being sealed away or the Sage of Six Paths entering the Pure Land through death, there may have been factors at play behind the scenes, such as the exclusion of the ninja world.

According to Tianjie Xiazuo's memories, the world's power of exclusion should never be underestimated, because it can have an impact in all sorts of unimaginable ways.

A powerful world operates at the center of the universe's energy, using thunder to kill powerful beings that are approaching their limits.

The weaker world, however, will influence the trajectory of the river of fate. Over a long period of time, it will cause people's hearts to change, calmly and steadily divide the enemy, and then guide the divided forces toward hostility, ultimately eliminating one side.

Xia Zuo compared it to this template and it matched perfectly.

Kaguya Otsutsuki in her perfect state was invincible in the ninja world, but she felt lonely over a long period of time, so she gave birth to two children, and her perfect bloodline limit split into three parts.

Hundreds of years after the split, under the guidance of the Great Toad Sage, the internal conflicts within the Otsutsuki family escalated into hostile conflicts, ultimately leading to a major war.

As a result, the strongest Kaguya Otsutsuki seemed to have lost her mind, was defeated by her two sons, and was sealed into the moon.

A classic tactic of using the enemy to defeat the enemy.

As for the deaths of the Sage of Six Paths and his brother, it is very likely related to their use of natural forces.

Xia Zuo has no relevant information on the specific situation and cannot speculate on it.

But he knew that he was already suffering the same exclusion from the ninja world that a Six Paths level cultivator faced.

Three years after the appearance of Saiyan Shazo and Saint Shazo, he showed an absolutely inappropriate slackness, no longer contributing his power to the other Shazos, and was simply enjoying the benefits of shared power.

It is precisely because of this passivity that he was unable to control the shared power and encountered a crisis that almost endangered his life.

However, every crisis contains an opportunity, even within danger.

Xia Zuo successfully seized the opportunity, reassessed his gains and losses, rethought his future, and established lofty ideals.

Then, guided by ideals, a strong will is forged.

In the end, Xia Zuo spent four days successfully mastering all of his power.

Back in his new office, Xia Zuo made himself a cup of hot tea to soothe his mind, which had been tense for seven days.

After feeling his mind and body relax, Xia Zuo's emotions fluctuated, and he couldn't help but sigh, "We're all Xia Zuo, but I and the pirates are unlucky enough to encounter a problem with our will. We're really unlucky."

"Huh? No, that's not right. I'm not thinking that way."

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems like we two aren't the most unlucky ones."

"Xia Zuo himself is undergoing tribulation, so there's no need to worry about this."

"The worlds in which Misaka Natsusa, Huashan Natsusa, Nanto Natsusa, Taoist Natsusa, and Soldier Natsusa reside have too low a power ceiling and should have already suffered the trials of the world."

"Yes, Misaka Natsusa was probably the first. She had just dealt with the fantasy monster when she became completely infatuated with high school girls. Her fall was abnormally fast."

"Nanto Xiazuo is determined to heal the world. As a soldier, Xiazuo leads humanity in a survival war against the dinosaur people. Their mission makes their will as firm as steel, so there is no problem of them getting out of control."

"Huashan Xiazuo was fortunate enough to travel to a world with higher power. The fact that the Taoist Xiazuo was taken away by the Main God Space doesn't seem to be entirely a bad thing. At least they have temporarily solved the problem of losing control."

"The worlds where the Heavenly Demon Xia Zuo, Marvel Xia Zuo, Interstellar Xia Zuo, Saiyan Xia Zuo, and Saint Seiya Xia Zuo exist have too high a power ceiling; they haven't encountered the problem of reaching their limits yet."

"But they can't be like me, ruling the ninja world and doing whatever they want. Ah, it seems pretty miserable for them to have no hope of advancement."

"Haha, sure enough, knowing I'm not the most unlucky one makes me feel much better."

Xia Zuo picked up his cup and took a satisfying sip, then frowned and muttered to himself in confusion, "Strange, something feels off. Did I miss something?"

Xia Zuo slowly finished his tea, then drank another cup. After the third cup, he suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.

"Damn it, how could I forget about the hero, Shazo? He was the first non-human among us, yet his presence is as weak as someone else's?"

"Wait a minute, I didn't ignore him the last few times!"

"Hiss—! This guy, this guy can influence me?"

The Hokage, Xia Zuo, was so shocked that his eyelids twitched wildly. He began to carefully recall his memories of the Elf Warrior Xia Zuo, and sure enough, he discovered that this guy had tampered with his memories.

Shared memories are a powerful feature of the dimensional dream world, and it's not something that Xia Zuo and his ilk can stop.

The Shazos can at most hide their most cherished privacy according to their own will, but they cannot prevent major events related to their world from being shared.

I really don't know what the hero Xia Zuo was thinking. After failing to stop the memory sharing, he went to great lengths to blur his own memories so that everyone would ignore them.

It's outrageous!

What's the point of hiding information about the world? Besides, they've been forced to the point of influencing the dream world. This is the first time that Xia Zuo and his group have had any impact on the dream world.

Naruto's curiosity was about to explode. He desperately tried to recall the blurry memories, clearing away the fog of mystery bit by bit, and finally saw the memory scenes of the hero, Xia Zuo.

The hero, Xia Zuo, was restless and wanted to travel the world. He visited his friend and fellow tribesman, Celie, and happened to meet Celie's human disciple who was visiting him. Celie introduced her new disciple to her teacher.

The hero, Xia Zuo, then learned that his friend was known as the strongest mage by humans, and that she actually accepted humans as her disciples.

Has this dwarf elf forgotten the reality that, given the difference in lifespan between humans and elves, her disciple might die of old age if she just takes a nap?

However, people who are not family will not enter the same door.

Like her teacher, Celia's human disciple, Vlamem, took on a tiny elf as her first disciple.

This situation left the hero Shazo speechless; Vlame was even less reliable than her teacher, Celie.

Given her lifespan, even if she extended her life with magic and lived to old age, she still couldn't raise that little elf to adulthood, let alone to the point of becoming a young girl.

After all, elves can barely be considered adults at 400 years old.

The longest lifespan recorded for a human archmage is less than 200 years.

But when the white-haired sprite announced its name, the hero Xia Zuo was completely stunned.

"Frilian, I am Frilian."

This name, like a bolt of lightning, strung together all of the hero Xia Zuo's memories: the Demon King, the Hero's Sword, the broken sword that was useless even when drawn—

Also: Celie, Volamé, Frillien —

When all this information was put together, a nickname jumped out of the mind of the hero Shazo: "The Buried Frilian".

The second word is: Yongbili!

Then came the scene of the hero Xia Zuo frantically replaying his memories, recalling everything related to the plot, which was clearly seen by the Naruto Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo was stunned.

He stood there stunned for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing.

Then Xia Zuo couldn't help but burst into laughter: "This is hilarious! How could such a coincidence happen? He actually transmigrated to the world of 'The Burial of Frilian,' and the time period is even 1000 years before the 'Warrior's Era'!"

"This is so interesting."

"Hahaha, oh my god, that's hilarious!"

"No wonder that hero's sword couldn't be pulled out. It turns out that when the elven hero Xia Zuo tried to stab it back in, he broke the broken sword. To cover up his mistake, that bastard actually melted and solidified the sword and the rock, making them completely one."

"Trying to draw your sword is like uprooting the mountain you're standing on. This is simply—"

"That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous."

Hokage Xia Zuo laughed until tears streamed down his face. After wiping away his tears, he said, "No wonder the hero Xia Zuo encountered such strong resistance when he drew his sword. No wonder the demon king he killed could be resurrected indefinitely."

"So he wasn't the real one. The Demon King wasn't ready to be killed yet, or the effects of a certain magical ritual hadn't ended, which is why the Demon King's resurrection couldn't be stopped."

"A world where you have to compete not only in strength but also in intelligence is a truly frustrating and troublesome place for us Xia Zuo."

"The thought that the time to defeat the Demon King would be a thousand years later caused the hero Shazo to completely lose the desire to challenge him."

Xia Zuo nodded sympathetically, expressing deep sympathy for the hero Xia Zuo's plight, but he did not intend to stop him from slacking off.

If you can't even do it yourself, why would you advise others to do it? Isn't that just being a scoundrel?

Having finally finished laughing, the Fifth Hokage put the matter of the hero Xia Zuo out of his mind, took out a thick stack of white paper, and began to recite the "Sutra of Reincarnation".

It took Xia Zuo a whole day to finish transcribing the "Sutra of Reincarnation and Salvation".

After organizing the documents he had memorized, Xia Zuo left his office and entered the underground experimental field of Loulan, where he found the "dead man" Tobirama Senju.

Xia Zuo proudly handed the thick stack of manuscript paper to the Second Hokage, saying, "Take a look, this is quite remarkable, and it might be a suitable training method for you."
