"What do you mean you don't want to die so soon, are you saying that being with the great me will drag you down?" Uzumaki Naruto protested loudly.
At his current age, Naruto was at his most impulsive stage.
To put it kindly, he was full of youthful vigor and fearless like a newborn calf that feared no tiger, but to put it bluntly, he was simply ignorant.
"Shut up, Naruto," Kakashi Hatake said coldly.
It was the first time he had spoken in such a harsh tone.
Although Kakashi was not completely certain yet, judging from the boy's fighting style and techniques, there were undeniable connections to two of the legendary Sannin.
Over the years, Konaha's strength had been declining steadily.
If the village could bring the two Sannin back through Sora, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit for the village.
Therefore Kakashi did not want the boy to form the impression that Konaha ninjas were incompetent.
Naruto curled his lips but did not dare to argue any further.
"Facts speak louder than words," Kakashi continued calmly.
"He is about the same age as you, yet he already has the strength to fight a Jonin, so compared to you he is indeed much stronger, and cooperating with you would only hold him back."
Kakashi's blunt words made Sasuke and the others look extremely grim.
After all, losing to older ninjas was one thing.
But losing to someone the same age, and by such a huge margin, was extremely difficult to accept.
Yet it was the undeniable truth.
"If you do not want to face this kind of humiliation again, then train harder," Kakashi said.
"He also started from weakness and grew stronger step by step, so if he can do it then why can't you, because a ninja proves their worth with strength, not with words."
Naruto and the others immediately felt their fighting spirit ignite.
If that boy could become strong, then so could they.
"I will definitely surpass that arrogant guy," Naruto thought stubbornly.
"As a member of the Uchiha clan, I must be the strongest," Sasuke thought firmly.
Sakura silently compared the two boys in her mind.
Sora had a calm aura that made him stand out.
Although Sasuke was handsome, the boy named Sora carried a completely different presence.
His skin looked incredibly smooth and flawless, almost as if it had never been touched by dust.
She even felt a little jealous.
Meanwhile, far away at a hidden location, Sora was continuing his Water and Fire Tempering.
Although he had already reached a bottleneck and the tempering no longer seemed to produce obvious results, bottlenecks existed to be broken.
Continuous accumulation would eventually produce a sudden breakthrough.
For the past two years Sora had continued performing Water and Fire Tempering once every ten days without fail.
Through repeated tempering, his body had gradually undergone changes that even Tsunade and Sora himself had not predicted.
Fortunately those changes had all been positive.
After all, Sora was walking a path that had never existed before in the ninja world.
He had already extracted everything possible from existing knowledge.
From here onward he could only rely on his own wisdom and effort.
Suddenly Sora's expression changed dramatically.
"So hot... so cold... what is happening?"
For two years he had mastered Water and Fire Tempering perfectly.
Manipulating two chakra nature transformations simultaneously had long become routine for him.
Yet now the two chakra attributes had suddenly lost control.
Instead of balancing each other as before, fire and water violently clashed within his body.
"Agh!"
Even with Sora's strong mental will, he could not stop himself from screaming in pain.
Every part of his body felt as if it were about to explode.
One moment his body felt as if it would burn apart from extreme heat.
The next moment a freezing chill seemed to pierce directly into his heart.
Even his spirit felt as if it were being torn apart.
"Roar!"
Unable to control the chakra within his body, Sora released a furious roar.
The violent collision between water chakra, fire chakra, and his own blood energy caused unbearable pressure inside him.
His body instinctively sought an outlet.
Sora slammed his fist toward the ground.
A ripple of invisible force spread outward.
With a deafening explosion, the ground within dozens of meters collapsed and shattered.
After releasing that punch, the violent energies within Sora's body seemed to find an outlet.
Water chakra, fire chakra, and blood energy collided violently and were expelled through his fist.
A faint blood-colored glow surrounded his fist.
At the same time the shattered ground began emitting faint streaks of blood-red light.
Sora knelt on the ground and breathed heavily.
"What just happened?"
His face was pale as he carefully examined the condition of his body.
Aside from the massive depletion of chakra and blood energy, he found no serious injuries.
He first felt relieved.
However the destruction caused by his punch shocked him.
He had not yet completely mastered Monster Strength Fist and was still one step away from perfection.
Even at full power his attacks previously could only destroy an area of roughly ten meters.
Yet the punch he had just thrown had destroyed more than twenty meters of ground.
The destructive force had far exceeded his previous limits.
"Just now it felt like the water chakra, fire chakra, and my blood energy collided together for a brief moment and created a completely new power," Sora thought while recalling the experience.
Although the situation had been extremely dangerous, his instincts told him that this was actually an opportunity.
The path he had chosen was filled with unknown dangers from the very beginning.
But hidden within danger were also opportunities.
The pain he had just endured allowed him to glimpse a faint path within the darkness.
"Most bloodline limits are created by fusing different chakra nature transformations to form new abilities," Sora muttered quietly.
"But the path I am taking revolves around blood energy, so simply fusing chakra is not enough."
His eyes slowly brightened.
"It must be combined with blood energy as well."
Sora realized that he had previously underestimated the difficulty of creating a completely new bloodline limit.
Even with Tsunade's immense knowledge supporting him, the process was still incredibly difficult.
There were simply too many unknown factors.
However Sora did not feel discouraged.
Instead he felt excited.
"If you think this kind of danger can stop me, then you are mistaken," Sora said with a determined expression.
Although the previous accident had nearly cost him his life, it had also allowed him to discover a new direction.
He had finally realized that simply tempering blood energy was not enough.
The fusion of chakra and blood energy was the true path.
His thoughts became clearer and clearer.
The danger he had survived had given him a new inspiration, and now he had firmly grasped that opportunity.
