PS: I've been pulling an all-nighter until now... I feel like some parts might not flow smoothly... ["Hmph~"]
["If it weren't for you, This Fox wouldn't disdain to cultivate. This Fox is already a genius. Wouldn't cultivating be extremely unfair to the other Tailed Beasts and Ninjas?!"]
[Naruto looked at the Great Fox with some surprise.]
[This Fox... no longer looks anything like it did when they first met.]
['Is it because of my influence?']
['That is indeed a possibility.']
Inside the Sealing Space.
"Yes! That's it!"
"How could I possibly be like that?"
"That naturally evil Black-Framed Naruto!"
The Nine-Tailed immediately chimed in.
Anyway, it was just that the version of itself in the black frame world had been careless.
It hadn't expected Black-Framed Naruto to be such an evil person.
That's why it was outmaneuvered by him, leading to one mistake after another.
[After being flattered for a bit, the Great Fox almost had 'This Fox is Invincible' written all over its face.]
[Naruto shook his head and exited the Sealing Space.]
[This matter was both urgent and not urgent at the same time.]
[However, for now, it was no problem to set aside a few days for the Great Fox to tinker on its own.]
[Not bad.]
[The Great Fox was getting excited.]
[It refused to develop this technique together with Naruto.]
[Of course, before this, Naruto also happened to want to experiment with the School.]
[For now, the School was not yet dangerous.]
[Thus, the experimental subjects naturally fell upon Zabuza and Haku.]
[It was also perfect since both of them had many injuries.]
[He glanced at Zabuza.]
[The path had been set.]
[Zabuza's executioners blade would not be returned; he would retrain!]
[This guy... he even used so many hand signs for a single Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.]
[Time to retrain.]
[It would also serve to temporarily hide his identity.]
[If it really didn't work out, he'd just have Sakura return the executioners blade to him.]
[Zabuza frowned, having a bad feeling.]
[Naruto then looked at Haku.]
[Very smart.]
[At the same time, the relationship with Zabuza was somewhat subtle.]
[Judging by the way the two of them just interacted.]
[It should be a tacit understanding, where Zabuza was even the one constantly refusing and avoiding it.]
[Of course, the reason it was so easy to see through...]
[...might be because after Haku saw hope, he gathered the courage to actively expose his leverage and weaknesses to Naruto.]
[It didn't matter.]
[Naruto actually didn't care about all that.]
[As long as they could get things done and didn't cross his bottom line, it was fine.]
[Haku's room for growth was still very large.]
[Living a life of flight with Zabuza had indeed made his strength grow slowly.]
[After pondering for a moment.]
[Naruto looked up at the two of them.]
[The two of them had also been quietly waiting for him to speak.]
["Come here."]
["When doing work, a lack of rewards will indeed result in a lack of motivation."]
[Naturally, the two of them didn't understand Naruto's meaning.]
[But that didn't stop Haku from being the first to step forward and state his stance.]
[Zabuza's frown deepened.]
[A control method?]
[It makes sense...]
[It was very logical, but thinking of Naruto's age, Zabuza still found it somewhat hard to accept.]
["Don't be nervous, it's not a restriction."]
["It's just to let you experience the feeling of power."]
["Fist-bump with me."]
["I believe that after you fist-bump with me, you will understand that I am not just talking big."]
["Yes, Lord Naruto."]
[Haku did not hesitate.]
[If he wanted to kill them, to be honest, Haku believed that Naruto wouldn't need to go through such a long process.]
[And such a person wouldn't bother with so many empty gestures.]
[In fact, Haku was somewhat relieved; it was clear that this lord was currently in desperate need of manpower, otherwise he might not have been so patient with them.]
[Step—]
[Haku's posture was very humble.]
[Naruto didn't say anything more.]
["Alright, Zabuza, you come too."]
[Zabuza frowned; he didn't feel any change in Haku.]
[Looking at Haku's almost pleading eyes.]
[Zabuza no longer hesitated. He took a step forward and fist-bumped Naruto.]
[Just as the two were wondering what would happen.]
[Hum—]
[The next instant.]
[Zabuza and Haku's expressions changed drastically.]
[A massive amount of Chakra gushed out from within their bodies.]
[At the same time, a layer of crimson Chakra cloak appeared on their body surfaces.]
[Two long ears appeared atop their heads, as if telling them the source of the Chakra.]
[Haku was relatively fine, lightly covering his small mouth, his face full of astonishment.]
[Zabuza froze directly on the spot.]
[Not knowing what he had thought of, his pupils contracted repeatedly, and his face was full of disbelief.]
[Even the bandages on his face burst open.]
['This... how is this possible?!']
[At this moment, when Zabuza looked at Naruto again, his gaze had changed.]
[He never imagined that the kid in front of him had already achieved this step.]
[Back when he served in the Anbu of the Hidden Mist, he had naturally collected a lot of data.]
[Moreover, Konoha's status was special, and a lot of intelligence would leak out.]
[Even while he was on the run, he could easily collect it.]
[After all, there were many intelligence brokers in the Land of Grass who only cared about money and not danger, and it wasn't far from Konoha.]
['A perfect... Perfect Jinchuriki?!']
[A Perfect Jinchuriki... like the Fourth Mizukage.]
[No, incomparable!]
[This Perfect Jinchuriki... not only is his strength extremely great, but even the Tailed Beast sealed within him is the head of the nine Tailed Beasts.]
[In just a few breaths' time.]
[Zabuza's mindset changed.]
[He looked back.]
[He saw Naruto staring at him with a half-smile.]
[Zabuza's heart rate accelerated.]
[If he could always have such Chakra support...]
[Zabuza didn't dare to dream of becoming invincible, but the next time he met Kakashi...]
[Even Haku knew the terrifying nature of this ability.]
[Thump—]
[Zabuza suddenly knelt on one knee.]
[Seeing this, Haku showed a look of joy and also hurriedly knelt on one knee.]
[As for such an ability, Zabuza didn't know how many times Naruto could use it or what the limit on people was.]
[But he also understood that it would definitely not be small, whether it was the surname Uzumaki or the prestige of the Nine-Tailed.]
[Both were top-tier Chakra powerhouses.]
[If Zabuza had previously looked down on Naruto, thinking that his talk of reviving the Uzumaki and rebuilding the Land of Whirlpools was just the arrogance of a youth...]
[...and that he would retreat once he knew the difficulties involved.]
[At this moment, Zabuza no longer doubted.]
[With this kind of ability... as long as Naruto doesn't die, the biggest restriction to rebuilding the Land of Whirlpools is just a matter of time.]
[Zabuza took a deep breath.]
[He suppressed the agitation in his heart.]
[Similarly, Naruto was also telling them, or rather warning them.]
[Do not have any second thoughts.]
[Otherwise, killing them would be as simple as killing a chicken.]
[Of course, if they were obedient, such benefits were basically a certainty.]
[Zabuza saw hope.]
[And after the School, he finally dared to face the real problem.]
[He... has hope for improvement!]
[In fact, how could Zabuza not know his own worth?]
[He just wasn't willing to admit it.]
[As for now...]
["I am willing to serve Lord Naruto!"]
