I Became Narutos Blackened Personality

…

Fengxu's voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

"I am the one who has been bearing all these painful memories on your behalf."

"Do you understand now?"

His tone was as cold as the night wind, carrying a chilling edge that sent shivers down Naruto's spine.

Naruto had heard that same icy tone from the villagers too many times before. His breathing became labored, his expression dark and clouded.

"I… I see."

A wave of guilt rushed over him as he hesitated.

"And also… I'm sorry. I…"

Deep down, Naruto had always felt that something—someone—was helping him endure the unbearable.

So when he learned the truth, he quickly accepted the fact that he had another personality within him.

As soon as he did, guilt overwhelmed his face.

"I won't let you bear this alone anymore."

"From now on, I'll help you carry the pain—"

"And how exactly do you plan to help?"

Fengxu sneered, cutting Naruto off mid-sentence.

"By letting me take over as the main personality while you step aside as the secondary?"

Naruto fell into a heavy silence.

The memories that had been transferred into his mind made one thing painfully clear—someone had to bear those emotions.

The mere thought of endlessly drowning in the torment of those dark, abyss-like memories made him flinch.

At the same time, he couldn't bring himself to hand over control to Fengxu.

He had felt it.

The seething resentment, the rage, the desire to destroy everything—all of it lurked within Fengxu's memories.

Naruto had experienced these emotions before, but he had never let them consume him.

And if he gave up control…

Would he ever get his body back?

Would he be forced to endure those dark memories in the meantime?

His mind was tangled with complicated emotions, and for the first time, he had no idea how to deal with it.

But Fengxu knew exactly what Naruto was thinking.

And he was very satisfied with the guilt eating away at him.

Unlike Naruto, Fengxu had the system's help and could block the emotions whenever he wanted.

But Naruto?

He had no such protection.

Everything was going according to plan.

All he needed to do now was to dispel Naruto's doubts and gain his trust.

Once he reached 10% trust and dependence, he would be able to talk to Naruto at any time without waiting for emotional triggers.

Fengxu's tone softened, the previous coldness fading away.

"Naruto, I don't intend to take control of your body right now."

"Do you remember what I said earlier?"

"I am you. You are me. We are two sides of the same coin—an inseparable existence."

"If we don't trust each other… if we fight amongst ourselves… this body will be the one to suffer."

"Working together benefits us both. It makes our body stronger—and I suffer less."

"Besides, you are still the main personality. Even if I take temporary control, you can always take it back."

"And let's not forget the real reason I was born—to bear these emotions and memories, so you don't have to."

Every word Fengxu spoke was true.

But he didn't tell Naruto the whole truth.

For now, he wasn't trying to steal Naruto's body.

Right now, all he needed was to gain his trust and dependence.

When the time was right… he would take what was his.

The main personality did have final control, but only while trust and dependence were low.

However, once those values rose—Naruto wouldn't be able to resist anymore.

As Fengxu spoke, he unlocked a system permission, allowing Naruto to sense his sincerity.

The moment he did, Naruto's doubts melted away.

The gloom and anxiety on his face vanished, replaced by excitement.

"So that's how it is!"

A bright smile broke across his face.

"Then we'll be friends from now on!"

"I'll even let you out to play sometimes—as long as you don't hurt anyone!"

Ding!

[ Major Personality Dependence/Trust Value: 21% ]

Fengxu's eyes widened slightly.

"Already 21%?"

That was higher than expected.

He also noticed that the dark subconscious space around him was brightening, and the faint oppressive force had slightly weakened.

But before he could celebrate, the system sent another message.

[ System Reminder: Initial trust is easy to gain, but also easy to lose. ]

[ If the host does anything against the master personality's will, trust may drop to 0% instantly. ]

[ Additionally, the host must gain both trust and dependence. ]

[ Attempting to reach 100% with only trust is a slow and nearly impossible process. ]

Fengxu immediately understood.

"So trust is easy to build in the beginning but just as easy to lose."

"And I can't just focus on trust—I need Naruto to depend on me too."

"If I balance the two, I can reach 100% much faster."

Naruto, meanwhile, had heard Fengxu's surprised reaction.

He tilted his head.

"What's 21%?"

"Naruto No. 2, what are you talking about?"

Fengxu internally sighed.

"I was calculating something important."

Then, he quickly corrected Naruto.

"Also, don't call me Naruto No. 2. I've decided on a name—Uzumaki Fengxu."

Naruto blinked, then grinned.

"'Fengxu'… Like the wind? That's a cool name!"

He nodded in approval.

"As expected of another me! So smart and well-read!"

After praising him, Naruto immediately turned back to his earlier question.

"So what's this 21% thing?"

"Do you have a way to make me Hokage? Or make everyone in the village like me?"

Fengxu: "…"

"You really think highly of me. I don't have that kind of power."

Ding!

[ Major Personality Dependence/Trust Value: 11% ]

Fengxu cleared his throat.

"The 'good thing' I was talking about is helping you pass the ninja graduation exam."

"It's a test on the Three Basic Jutsu. Do you really think you can pass on your own?"

Ding!

[ Major Personality Dependence/Trust Value: 30% ]

Naruto's entire body lit up with joy.

"YOU CAN HELP ME PASS?!"

He practically jumped three feet into the air in excitement.

Fengxu smirked.

"Of course. I know exactly what you need to do."

Naruto's excitement erased his previous worries.

All that mattered now was one thing—

"HOW?!"

Fengxu glanced at the sky.

"First, find a broom and clean Hokage Rock. I'll explain the rest on the way."

"Why?"

"Because Iruka is coming soon."

Naruto nodded frantically.

"Alright! I'll go find a broom right now!"

Without another thought, he dashed off, his heart filled with anticipation.
