Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

"Huh... No one from Konoha is chasing after me?"

Kenshi raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled. With the obvious traces his Black Iron Chains had left on the ground as he moved, if anyone from Konoha was chasing him, they should have found him by now.

But there was no one within his Chakra Sensing range.

"Did something happen in Konoha?"

Kenshi thought to himself, then shook his head. "Forget it, whether something happened or not, I should continue on my way. I'll find a town with people, get some food, find some clothes to wear, and then we'll talk."

Kenshi stood up. He didn't have any extra Chakra to condense a Black Iron Chain garment. Naked, he looked down at himself.

"Not bad, I look quite imposing!"

"Just a little chilly!"

Kenshi clamped his legs together. The autumn nights were a little cool, but it wasn't bad. The moon hung high in the sky, and the land under the moonlight was like it had been coated with a layer of frost. Visibility was pretty clear, so he didn't have to worry about stepping on small stones and falling.

Kenshi didn't know where to go, so he raised his head and headed in the direction of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

"Whizz, whizz!"

Kenshi leaped and moved through the branches of the trees. The two Black Iron Chains behind him pulled him back when he misjudged the distance and missed his footing on a branch.

The trees in the world of Naruto were all very large, especially the branches, which were very suitable for ninjas, these extraordinary beings, to use for leverage and movement. It was much faster than running on the ground.

But obviously, moving and jumping between trees required some skill for ninjas.

This skill was what Kenshi lacked.

He urgently needed to make up for this deficiency and become a true ninja.

Kenshi's learning ability was good. He made fewer and fewer mistakes. Soon, he rarely needed the two Black Iron Chains extending from his back to correct his position.

This allowed Kenshi to have the time to carefully check how much he had paid for this escape from Konoha.

"This price is a bit high!"

After carefully sensing the situation inside his body, Kenshi's brow furrowed and never relaxed.

He wouldn't even mention the depletion of years of accumulated Chakra.

The price of opening all the acupoint spaces except the Gate of Death was... now all these acupoints were destroyed and irreversible.

This was something Kenshi never expected.

Before, he had opened acupoint spaces using acupoint Chakra, but he only opened a part of them. After opening them, he could close them again, and the acupoint spaces didn't have any problems.

He didn't expect that opening all the acupoints would lead to their direct destruction.

Without the acupoints' restriction on Chakra, the Chakra flowing through the meridian channels in his body... huh... seems fine!

The Chakra flowing through the meridian channels in Kenshi's body didn't lose control.

Thanks to Kenshi's absolute control over Chakra, although the acupoints controlling Chakra flow were destroyed, his Chakra didn't lose control.

If it had been anyone else, with their acupoints destroyed, they would have essentially lost the possibility of becoming a ninja.

There are many Chakra acupoints in the human body.

These Chakra acupoints are like reservoirs on a large river, along the meridian channels.

With these reservoirs, even during the rainy season when the river water rises rapidly, it won't overflow the riverbed.

Similarly, with Chakra acupoints that can restrict and control Chakra flow, when ninjas increase their Chakra output, they can ensure that the Chakra remains in a controllable state.

Once these Chakra acupoints are destroyed, gone.

It's like the reservoirs on the riverbed are gone. When the rainy season comes, the river floods, and the Chakra will also rush out of the meridian channels, causing damage to the body.

The key is that without the control and restriction of the Chakra acupoints, once Chakra is mobilized to release jutsu, it will directly rush out of the meridian channels, unable to be mobilized and condensed according to the hand seal sequence to form the corresponding jutsu Chakra attributes.

This way, jutsu wouldn't be able to be released successfully.

Simply put, if it were anyone else, with most of their acupoints destroyed, they wouldn't be able to release elemental jutsu anymore.

A ninja who can't release jutsu, it's easy to imagine how much it would affect their strength.

Fortunately, Kenshi had absolute control over Chakra. Even without the control and restriction of acupoint spaces, he could still release various elemental jutsu without being affected.

But the destruction of all acupoint spaces except the Gate of Death acupoint still had a big impact on Kenshi.

The most direct impact was that the amount of Chakra his body could store was limited.

Now, he only had his dantian and the Gate of Death to store Chakra.

With his body's talent, even with the day and night transformation of Wood Release Chakra, by the time he reached adulthood, his Chakra reserves would be at most the level of an average jōnin.

This amount of Chakra would be fine against ordinary people, but against ninjas like the Third Hokage and the Sannin, it would be a bit insufficient.

From the perspective of Chakra reserves, the price Kenshi paid for escaping from Konoha was considerable.

But... Kenshi sensed his current control over the Black Iron Chains, his furrowed brow finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

As the saying goes, "In misfortune lies opportunity."

The destruction of his acupoint spaces had indeed limited Kenshi's future Chakra reserves, but it had also greatly strengthened his attributes in various aspects.

Acupoint spaces were special. They were like a gene lock. Once they were completely opened and destroyed, it meant that the flesh and blood had no restrictions and gained corresponding enhancements.

After opening all eight Inner Gates, ninjas would not only gain a terrifying amount of Chakra exceeding that of a Kage, but the restrictions on their bodies in various aspects would also be broken.

Mental strength, physical strength, nerve reaction speed, etc., would all be dramatically enhanced.

Actually, it made sense. If it were just an increase in Chakra reserves and physical strength, without an increase in corresponding mental attributes and nerve reaction speed.

It would be like giving a child a three-meter long blade but not giving them the corresponding strength and height.

The child wouldn't be able to wield a three-meter long blade.

Ninjas wouldn't be able to control the suddenly increased amount of Chakra and physical strength.

Only by increasing both the Chakra reserves and the ninja's own attributes in various aspects could they transform the massive Chakra gained from opening the Eight Inner Gates into strength.

Kenshi was now in a state where he had opened the Eight Inner Gates, his Chakra was depleted, but the Eight Gates hadn't closed.

He had no Chakra reserves, but the increase in mental and physical attributes he gained from opening the Eight Gates was still there.

The physical enhancement wasn't obvious yet, but the mental attribute enhancement had a significant and obvious impact on Kenshi's strength.

Before the destruction of his acupoints, Kenshi controlled the Black Iron Chains like a child wielding a sword.

The sword was a sharp, hair-splitting treasure, but he swung it with little speed and force.

But after the destruction of most of his acupoints, Kenshi was like a child who suddenly transformed into an adult who had practiced swordsmanship for twenty years. The speed and force with which he wielded the sword had undergone a qualitative improvement.

His current control over the Black Iron Chains, in terms of speed, was at least five times faster than before.

His nerve reaction speed had also improved a lot.

Before, his nerve reaction speed could barely keep up with ANBU jōnin. He was a little slower than the Third Hokage, and even slower than Mito Uzumaki.

Now, Kenshi estimated that his nerve reaction speed was already close to Mito Uzumaki's.

With his current nerve reaction speed and the speed at which he could wield and move the Black Iron Chains, he no longer had to worry about being unable to react and defend against attacks when a taijutsu ninja got close.

Besides this, his enhanced mental attributes had also greatly expanded his Chakra Sensing range.

Now, within a five-kilometer radius around him, as long as it wasn't a ninja who was very good at suppressing their Chakra fluctuations, he could sense the specific Chakra flames and human shapes.

The closer they were to him, the clearer his Chakra Sensing became.

It could be said that ninjas who wanted to sneak attack him would have a hard time succeeding, unless they used Space-Time Ninjutsu.

"Seems like... it wasn't such a bad deal after all!"

Kenshi suddenly smiled. After comparing everything, it seemed like the benefits he gained were quite good, compared to the disadvantage of his Chakra reserves being limited.

At least for him at this stage, both his control over the Black Iron Chains and his enhanced Chakra Sensing ability could greatly increase his chances of surviving the pursuit from Konoha.

And surviving, for Kenshi, was victory.

What he lacked most was time.

Give him time, with his speed of learning jutsu, various blood sacrifices and offerings, he could learn them quickly, as long as he sensed the specific Chakra Nature Transformation and attribute changes.

As long as he had time, his strength would increase rapidly.

Then, he would repay everything he had experienced in Konoha tenfold.

A cold, piercing chill flashed in Kenshi's eyes.

There's only one chapter today. The subsequent plot hasn't been finalized yet, so I won't force it.
