HINATA IS BROKEN

The crowd across the ninja world collectively held their breath. Those with weaker psychological endurance were on the verge of fainting. What exactly had Uzumaki Naruto just done on-screen?

At the mere age of twelve, Naruto had independently developed a ninjutsu technique with destructive power that left even seasoned ninjas in awe. The explosion caused by the technique was formidable; anyone caught in its blast would face almost certain death.

However, there was a glaring issue—Naruto's control over Chakra. The move required an enormous amount of Chakra to compress and took considerable time to charge up.

But was that really a problem?

He was just twelve.

In a few more years, with rigorous practice, he might wield this technique as effortlessly as a kunai.

Reactions Across the Ninja World

The Akatsuki hideout was uncharacteristically quiet until Deidara finally broke the silence.

"Well, well," he muttered, his expression a mix of admiration and irritation. "The Nine-Tails Jinchūriki from the other world seems to understand true art." A grin tugged at his lips. "I'd love to see him and me debate art sometime."

Meanwhile, chaos erupted at the Chūnin Exam venue in Konoha. Every ninja in attendance, from the greenest Genin to the hardened veterans, was stunned into silence. Even Orochimaru, perched on the high platform, looked intrigued.

Naruto, sitting in the stands, scratched his head in disbelief.

"That's... me? How can there be such a big difference between us?"

Despite his pride over his recent mission in the Land of Waves, this revelation of his counterpart's power left him questioning himself. That Naruto had developed a technique capable of obliterating even Zabuza's Water Clone Technique or Haku's Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals with ease.

Jiraiya leaned in and placed a reassuring hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Don't feel inferior, kid. The only real difference between you two is time. He started serious training seven years earlier than you."

Even Sasuke, usually composed, couldn't mask his disbelief. His rival, Uzumaki Naruto, possessed such potential? This was the same Naruto he had always considered beneath him. If they remained in the same class, would he still surpass him?

No.

Sasuke clenched his fists. This revelation would only serve as a motivator to push himself harder.

Speculation and Debate

In the discussion group, the reactions were varied.

Ohnoki was skeptical. "No way. Even if Naruto started training at five, this level of power seems impossible."

Terumi Mei nodded. "It's not just his natural Chakra; the Nine-Tails' Chakra must play a role."

The Fourth Raikage agreed. "It's likely the Nine-Tails' Chakra enhancing his techniques."

Uzumaki Kushina chimed in. "Well, Nine-Tails definitely didn't plan for this. Looks like it miscalculated and made Naruto stronger than expected."

Minato smiled softly. "Big Spiral Wheel? Naruto's naming sense needs work. This technique deserves something grander—'Flashing Spiral Da Lunyu – Three Forms.'"

Tobirama, exasperated, muttered, "Fourth Hokage, your son takes after you in naming things, it seems."

But even Tobirama admitted the feat was extraordinary. "If Naruto continues growing like this, he might surpass even Hashirama in Chakra reserves."

Hashirama laughed, albeit nervously. "I didn't have this much Chakra at twelve, and neither did Madara."

Uchiha Madara, stoic as ever, remained silent.

Hashirama continued, "Even if Naruto shares bloodlines with Mito, his Chakra levels are unusual. It must be the influence of the Nine-Tails."

The Pure Land's Observations

In the Pure Land, a serene old man sitting cross-legged opened his eyes. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, observed the screen before him.

"So, this is the Ashura reincarnation of this generation," he murmured, studying the events and discussions.

As he delved deeper, he shook his head at their assumptions.

Naruto's Chakra wasn't merely a result of the Nine-Tails' influence. His vast reserves stemmed primarily from his own Chakra, enhanced by his lineage and the reincarnation of Ashura.

Every reincarnation of Ashura shared two common traits:

1. Unparalleled Physical and Chakra Growth: Their bodies and Chakra reserves could multiply exponentially with consistent effort.

2. Enhanced Ninjutsu Effects: Any technique they performed was naturally several times more potent than an average ninja's.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo sighed. "Naruto's massive Chakra reserves are a combination of his Uzumaki heritage and Ashura's Sage Body. While the Nine-Tails contributes, it's not the dominant factor."

He glanced at the screen showing the Naruto of the black-framed world.

"This Naruto focused on gaining the villagers' approval, wasting seven crucial years of training. If he had practiced seriously from the beginning, the white-framed Naruto would stand no chance."

His voice softened. "The path they choose will shape the future of the ninja world..."

Reflections and Strategies

Kakashi couldn't help but chuckle nervously. "I hope I'm careful with the bell test in that world."

Zabuza's voice was grim. "Kakashi, let's pray that we don't encounter him at all."

Haku, always composed, remarked, "Even if we do, at least we'll have the honor of dying intact. That technique... it leaves nothing behind."

Terumi Mei offered some advice. "Relax. Naruto hasn't mastered the technique yet. If you see him accumulating Chakra, just run. As far as you can."

Zabuza groaned. "Run? I'd rather die on my feet than flee like a coward."

Naruto's Potential

The ninja world buzzed with speculation and debate. Was Naruto's potential limitless? Could the Naruto of the black-framed world surpass all expectations?

Back in the Pure Land, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo continued observing quietly. He understood better than anyone that Naruto's growth was tied not only to his effort but also to his bonds and beliefs.

"Naruto, the Ashura reincarnation, has the power to reshape this world," Hagoromo whispered.

For Naruto, the journey was just beginning. With his Sage Body awakening and his relentless determination, the world could only wait and see the heights he would reach.
