Path Not Taken 43

Azula

Just a few more adjustments to this seal...

Azula

Your chakra control is improving, Naruto. Twenty minutes upside down on one finger - not bad.

Azula

The Nine-Tails power is merely a bonus. It's your potential that truly interests me.

Azula

(That Hokage thinks I don't know she sent him to assassinate me. How predictable.)

Azula

Focus your chakra like I showed you. Perfect control requires perfect balance - both physical and mental.

Azula

Everyone underestimates you. Tsunade, Jiraiya, all of them. They fail to see what I see.

Azula

There. With this seal, you'll control the Nine-Tails chakra like it's your own.

Azula

(And when he realizes I've known about his mission all along, he'll have to choose between his village and his new power.)

Azula

You think differently than other shinobi. You find solutions where others see only problems.

Azula

That's why I chose you as my student. Not for the fox - for your mind.

Azula

When I'm finished with your training, you'll be my greatest creation.

Azula

The question is - will you still try to complete your mission? Or will you realize we're more alike than you thought?
