Duy chuckled softly and shook his head. "Ah, it's no problem. I don't consider it a secret. Besides, seeing the enthusiasm on your face, kid, reminds me of my own son. So, I'm happy to share this with you. Moreover, it's not something that needs to be kept secret."
'What a kind and simple man,' Aoki thought, feeling a twinge of guilt. 'I know when Duy will die. I have to help him, no matter what. Someone like Duy—strong and kindhearted—deserves a place in this harsh ninja world.'
"Is that so? Uncle, you are a very good man. One day, I will repay your kindness. But for now, I have to go. Thank you so much for the healthy diet information, Uncle!" Aoki said with a wide smile before turning to leave.
"Oh, wait a moment! What’s your name, kid?" Duy called out enthusiastically.
"Aoki Sora! The one who will become the Strongest Swordmaster in the entire ninja world!" Aoki shouted confidently.
Duy laughed heartily, showcasing his wide smile. "Wahaha! My name is Might Duy! Nice to meet you, Aoki Sora! I hope you can achieve your dreams! Work hard!"
"Nice to meet you too, Uncle Duy!" Aoki replied with a warm smile before disappearing from the park, heading to his workplace.

Upon arriving at work, Aoki entered the weapon-making workshop with renewed enthusiasm. "Yo, Boss! I'm going to start working!" Aoki exclaimed cheerfully, filled with positive energy after his meeting with Duy.
"Oh, Aoki! Alright, get to work!" replied Kuzan, Aoki's boss, glancing at Aoki with a small smile.
"Ready, Boss!" Aoki immediately began his tasks. As he worked, Aoki's mind was filled with various questions. He pondered his future in this cruel ninja world—would Aoki remain a behind-the-scenes figure, or decide to get more involved and show himself to the world?
While Aoki was contemplating his future, thoughts about whether he would stay behind the scenes or not continued to haunt him.
Aoki knew that if he chose to remain behind the scenes, the plot of this world would likely not change. However, there was a lingering doubt in his heart—Aoki did not want to witness kind-hearted people dying in vain just because he did nothing. Especially since in the future, there would be various beings like Gods and Aliens attacking the ninja world, Aoki would need as much help as possible.
Finally, Aoki made a decision. He would remain a behind-the-scenes figure until the Fourth Shinobi World War ended, because after that war, the world would enter a peaceful era. However, Aoki would not sit idly by. He would strive to save some people who deserved to be saved, even if he would remain hidden.
Aoki also realized that after that war, the threat from the remaining members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan in the universe could not be ignored. They were hidden figures that still cast a dark shadow over the Shinobi world, such as Ōtsutsuki Toneri, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and the most dangerous figure, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the only Ōtsutsuki woman ever featured in the Naruto anime.
Even though Hagoromo only left behind a lingering spirit, his power remained unmatched. In fact, in the anime, Hagoromo bestowed great power upon Naruto and Sasuke, making them both even stronger.
Kaguya, although currently sealed, still posed a significant threat. Black Zetsu, Kaguya's cunning child, continued to watch over the Shinobi world, waiting for the right moment to free his mother from her seal.
