Despite the slight mocking tone he'd given about the state of Naruto's mindscape…soulscape? Whatever-it-was-scape-
Daiki was astounded by it. He had to shut off his ability to see chakra, simply because the sheer amount of it permeating even the outer halls away from the main area where the nine tailed bijuu was located, was almost blinding.
The wall, the pipes running along the walls, the air, the water he stood upon. The saturation of chakra dwarfed his own and then some, that was for sure.
'Not only that, but the sheer amount of yang chakra in comparison to yin is absurd,' Isobu commented, 'It's no wonder the boy's healing factor is so powerful and how he stands above his peers of his year beyond the Uchiha boy and yourself physically. I wonder if the Yondaime Hokage took this into account?'
'It does explain a few things.' Daiki mused inwardly as he traversed the seal halls. It was not like Naruto did not train, in fact, out of their graduating class, the only people that trained harder than the blonde were Sasuke and Daiki himself.
But, the quality of his training was abysmal. He was mostly self taught and he made his own training up as he went. And while it worked, it was inefficient compared to his own training or the likes Rock Lee went through.
Yet, canonically, by the time Naruto had returned from his trip to find Tsunade, he was physically superior to Sasuke who was at that point on par with Rock Lee speed wise. That did not make sense. Despite his hard efforts, Naruto was not geared towards being a speedster. He was geared to being a juggernaut.
'Yes, it seems this overabundance of yang chakra is helping his musculature develop and strengthen at a much greater rate than usual, offsetting his subpar training,' Isobu agreed, 'I hazard to guess that even if he did not train, as he aged towards adulthood he would still passively become stronger from it.'
That was kind of bullshit and that was coming from him.
'I agree, though I find it even more stupefying how such potential has been squandered,' Isobu hummed, 'If he had proper training from his younger years like much of his peers, I have no doubts that he would already be on the level of a kage.'
That thought almost made Daiki sneer in disgust. That was tantamount to heresy as far as he was concerned and why kindness could also be a weakness.
The old man was far too soft in this case. He could still have been kind while being strict with Naruto and in his place, Daiki would have installed the proper method of the grind in him from a young age and created a super shinobi that could have rivalled Hashirama without calling on his bijuu by time he was fifteen.
To be perfectly honest, he couldn't even say he wouldn't have pulled a Danzo with him. To be precise, if he only had the knowledge the old man had to go on currently and not his meta knowledge, he would have grabbed two Uchiha traitors who were close, there were plenty at the time and then kill one of them forcing the other to awaken the mangekyou and then killed him and taken them as well. Then implanted them within Naruto and had him trained to subdue Kurama with his eyes and force his compliance and make Naruto a pseudo perfect Jinchuuriki.
'…Ruthless pragmatism at its finest,' Isobu huffed, 'I do not condone that idea at all, but from the view of a Hokage that would be the most optimal choice and create a shinobi only the likes of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha could defeat and that's generously assuming he had not yet reached his prime yet.'
Daiki wasn't able to ponder on that though any longer, because Naruto who had been uncharacteristically silent for the last little bit, finally regained at least a bit of his bearings.
"…What did you mean by what you said earlier," the blonde asked, frowning at him thoughtfully, "How you don't blame the stupid fox?"
"Just that," he shrugged, "Let me ask you something in return Naruto. Why do you think the Kyuubi attacked the Leaf? How do you think it even got in the vicinity of the Leaf Village?"
"…It walked…or ran?" Naruto replied with a shrug after a moment of thinking and apparently coming up blank.
"Haha, no," Daiki snorted, "Back then our village had the Yondaime and the old man. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Danzo a guy you've likely never heard of and more. As powerful as the Kyuubi is, far stronger than any of them alone, power alone doesn't decide everything and if it just approached our village, it would have been spotted from miles away and all our strongest shinobi would have mobilized and attacked it long before it got to our village and sealed it. And that's not taking into account every other village coveting the Kyuubi's power and attacking it as well."
Naruto's face scrunched up and he could practically see the rusty gears inside his head turning, "…So how did it get to our village then?" he asked.
"Because it broke out of its last Jinchuuriki," Daiki revealed bluntly, "You didn't think you were the first Jinchuuriki of it, did you?"
Naruto stopped, sapphire blue eyes shooting wide open in absolute shock, "….What…?" he gaped, "There's….been more?"
"Yup, to be exact there were two before you, the first being the wife of the Shodaime Hokage," Daiki continued on, "Long ago, she sealed it inside herself after it was subdued by the Shodaime."
"…This is crazy…" Naruto shook his head, "So the Kyuubi attacked the village back then?"
"Haha, no," Daiki repeated with another snort, "See, this village was founded by the Shodaime and a guy called Madara Uchiha."
