Chapter 4: EnrollmentAs time slowly passed and the years flew by, before he knew it, Naruto had grown to the age where he should be attending the Ninja Academy."Ah, the old geezer has been coming by more and more frequently lately; I can't even watch anime properly anymore.""Little Naruto, Grandpa has come to see you again. Grandpa promises that if you go out this time, absolutely no one will scold you. Why don't you go out for a walk?""You're at home every day now, and Grandpa is really worried about you. You'll be of enrollment age soon. Go meet more friends and build bonds. Grandpa believes that everyone will surely accept you.""I know, I'll go." After saying that, Narutoteleported away directly.Little Naruto finally understood my good intentions. The Third Hokage was almost moved to tears. Every time he tried to talk to Naruto, Narutowould just teleport away. He wondered if this was truly a Bloodline Limit. He had secretly observed Naruto teleporting many times, but he still couldn't figure anything out.In the end, he could only classify it as a Bloodline Limit, but what kind of Bloodline Limit could allow for such heaven-defying, infinite teleportation? The Third Hokage couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.If this were on the battlefield, it would definitely be a mobile weapon of mass destruction. Just thinking about it roughly, there were several possibilities, such as teleporting into an enemy camp at night to poison their food, or teleporting directly into an enemy Village to assassinate their Kage! Surely, caught completely off guard, these things could be possible.Hiruzen stopped his wandering thoughts. The most important thing now was to get little Naruto to make friends and cure his autism; otherwise, everything else was just empty talk.On the other side, Naruto complained, "That piece of crap Hiruzen Sarutobi, acting like he's my grandfather—does he even deserve it? I'm his elder, okay? If it weren't for the fact that Konoha is the safest place at this stage, and that I need to be in Konoha to trigger character quests, I would have flown the coop long ago."After cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi for over twenty minutes, Naruto teleported down, preparing to get some daily necessities.Forget it, I'm watching anime wherever I go anyway, so I might as well go to school. It will be much more convenient to meet the Konoha 12 and do character quests there. The most important thing now is to grind quests and rapidly increase my strength. Naruto set his goals for the current stage in his heart.A few days ago, when Hinata rang the bell and those kids from the original story were bullying her, I teleported directly to the scene and took them all out in one move. It was truly cool.If I wasn't afraid of leaving Hinata with psychological trauma, I would have just crippled that trash who was bullying others. I wonder if Hinata likes me now? Naruto's thoughts continued to wander.Suddenly, a curse interrupted Naruto's thoughts: 'Get lost, you stinking Demon Fox!' A bald-headed commoner threatened Naruto.Oh my, I've demolished hundreds, maybe even thousands, of houses over these past few years. I feel like there are barely any houses I haven't demolished. To think someone would still dare to speak to me like that now—Naruto immediately found it amusing."Nakano Rinji, apologize quickly! The Demon Fox isn't someone to mess with anymore. You just got back, so you don't know." The commoner next to the one who insulted Naruto advised him.Naruto sneered, "Apologize? Even if you apologize to me, I won't forgive you. And as for the guy next to you, you're finished too. I said it."Naruto jumped directly into the shop, quickly closed in on the bald commoner, and with a smack, gave the bald commoner a massive slap. The commoner was slapped unconscious by Narutoand collapsed to sleep.The commoner who had been advising him saw this, turned around in terror, and ran, shouting as he went, "It's bad! The Demon Fox has killed someone! Help!"Heh, thinking wishfully, wanting to run away? Naruto said to the fleeing commoner, "I'll give you a ten-meter head start. If you can get away, I'll let you go from now on."Upon hearing this, the commoner ran even harder, but no matter how much he ran, his final outcome was already fixed.Naruto directly predicted his position, opened a portal above him, and delivered a flying kick from top to bottom, securing a double kill.Watching as he took care of two more blind fools, Naruto's mood brightened again, and he walked into a clothing store to pick out some items.He picked out a white long-sleeved shirt and paired it with a pair of black trousers. At this moment, Naruto didn't have the malnutrition seen in the original work; his features were sharp, and his pair of azure eyes were bright and spirited, looking exactly like a carbon copy of the Fourth Hokage.At this moment, the position where the clothing store owner was standing allowed him to see both the Fourth Hokage Rock and Naruto. The owner was stunned for a moment and muttered to himself, "That's impossible, right?"By now, Naruto had chosen his clothes and asked the owner, "Commoner, how much for these clothes?""300 Ryo." The owner thought for a moment and gave an extremely low price.This was basically no different from giving it away for free. Naruto found it a bit strange; he knew that when he last ate ramen with Hinata, it cost more than this.But Naruto didn't care; he just assumed this commoner had been shocked by his kingly aura. He casually took out 300 Ryo, threw it to the owner, opened a portal, and drifted away.The owner watched Naruto's departing back and fell into deep thought.After returning, Naruto rarely made himself a bowl of ramen, and after eating, he went to sleep.In the blink of an eye, Naruto woke up the next day. Today was the day the Ninja Academy opened. Naruto thought about it for a moment, opened the portal a bit wider, and teleported himself, bed and all, into the Ninja Academy.The Third Hokage was giving a speech up above, so the playground was full of students listening to the speech. When Naruto landed, he naturally crushed a few unlucky souls.Naruto still looked around leisurely. Seeing that there was only an empty spot where the Hokagewas speaking, he teleported directly next to the Hokage and said to the Hokage, "You continue speaking, don't mind me."The Third Hokage could only sigh helplessly. Forget it, as long as he's here, it's fine. I just hope that if I say a few words to little Naruto, he won't run back again.The people below saw that the Third Hokagedidn't react and could only curse in low voices, "That cursed Demon Fox."Naruto didn't care about these curses at all; he looked around at the environment. Everything in the school was so familiar. Being in a location from the anime, honestly, Naruto felt very strange right now.Those children of the same age as him were either excitedly communicating with each other or nervously waiting for the upcoming enrollment ceremony.Naruto secretly calculated in his heart how to complete those character quests here. However, he believed that with his strength and wisdom, he would definitely be able to do whatever he wanted in this world.The Third Hokage's long and tedious nonsense finally ended, and the students began to proceed with the enrollment test according to the instructions.Naruto followed the crowd to the testing grounds. He scanned the test items, and a confident smile curled at the corners of his mouth; to him, these were nothing more than a small test of skill.After all, he possessed an enviable Sage Body. In the bustling crowd, Naruto identified many familiar figures.The system prompt triggered: [Original character detected, Nara Shikamaru, now randomly generating a series of quests][Original character detected, Ino Yamanaka, now randomly generating a series of quests][Original character detected, Akimichi Choji, now randomly generating a series of quests][Original character detected, Uchiha Sasuke, now randomly generating a series of quests][Original character detected, Sakura Haruno, now randomly generating a series of quests][Original character detected, Inuzuka Kiba, now randomly generating a series of quests][Original character detected, Shino Aburame, now randomly triggering a series of quests]
Chapter 5: Ninja Academy Enrollment[Ino Yamanaka random quest generation complete][Beginner quest: Help Ino Yamanaka develop some other ways to play with the Mind Transfer Jutsu][Intermediate quest: Incite Ino Yamanaka to control the Hokage and succeed][Ultimate quest: Detected a bond with Sakura Haruno, who was triggered simultaneously. Linkage gameplay now triggered. Ultimate quest changed to:][Abandon the jealousy from the original work; good friends should be together forever. The completion condition for the quest is for Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno to successfully fall in love.] [Because linkage was triggered, completion rewards can be stacked][Akimichi Choji random quest generation complete][Beginner quest: Snatch Choji's snacks and eat them all up in front of him][Intermediate quest: Make Choji lose weight and get a good physique.

Detected that the host's current strength is at the Chuninlevel. The maximum number of character quests that can be accepted is three. Please work hard to improve your strength, host.]Looking at the generated quests, Naruto couldn't help but sigh, thinking to himself, "Has the difficulty of the quests increased this time? Why does it feel like Hinata's wasn't this hard? No, wait, that last one mainly depends on my moral bottom line—it's actually quite difficult too."And the quests for Ino and Sakura Haruno—the system really generated some interesting ones. Not to mention, Naruto was actually looking forward to seeing what it would be like for them to fall in love.Naruto's lips curved slightly upward as he secretly planned how to cleverly push the relationship between Ino and Sakura Haruno forward. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a slight headache regarding Choji's gourmet quest. After all, making that foodie lose weight was no easy task.And that one-thousand-dish quest—how should he arrange it cleverly to satisfy his love for food while also exercising through cooking? Perhaps he could kill two birds with one stone. A rough outline of the plan gradually formed in Naruto's mind.Sakura Haruno liking Sasuke for a while would be the start of affecting their perfect friendship. He had to think of a way to make them stop liking Sasuke. Sigh, Naruto sighed again; there was no time to think it over carefully now.Naruto opened a portal directly, appearing in front of Uchiha Sasuke. He grabbed him, opened another portal, and randomly teleported himself and Uchiha Sasuke to a secluded training ground. Sasuke asked, looking bewildered, "Who are you, and where is this?"Looking at the innocent little kid in front of him, he decided to take the opportunity to educate him properly before he evolved into'Sunny Sasuke.' A malicious smile curled on Naruto's lips. "I am Naruto. The reason I brought you here is simple: I haven't liked you since the first time I saw you." Sasuke was stunned, a flash of anger crossing his eyes, but there was more confusion than anything else.Sasuke seemed to want to say something more, but Naruto's fist had already arrived, striking straight at Sasuke's face. Instantly, one of Sasuke's eyes turned black and blue, becoming a panda eye. Of course, Naruto had held back his strength.His reason for beating Sasuke was simple. Judging from the original work, Ino and Sakura Haruno only developed feelings for Sasuke early on because of his appearance. Both of them were attracted to looks, and Sakura seemed to like Sasuke's "cool" demeanor. If I beat Sasuke up first, let's see how cool he can be later.Naruto continued to work on Sasuke's face, causing it to swell and deform, his features obscured by the redness and swelling. There were black and blue marks around his eyes; his eyelids were swollen but barely open, and bloodshot veins were visible in the whites of his eyes. His nose bridge was red, with fingerprints on his nostrils, occasionally oozing blood. There were red marks and scratches on his cheeks, and his lips were swollen and asymmetrical, stained with blood. His chin was red, seemingly having taken a hit. His face as a whole showed traces of a fierce conflict. The injuries weren't serious, but they just happened to add a sense of fragility to Sasuke.Naruto looked at Sasuke like this and felt a bit strange inside. Why do I still think Sasuke looks good? Damn it, this won't do.Naruto shook his head, forcing himself to withdraw that strange thought. Since you still look good like this, then you can't blame me for continuing. After another ten minutes, a perfect pig's head appeared before Naruto's eyes.Naruto picked up Sasuke, opened a portal, and brought him back to the Ninja Academy scene.The people at the scene saw Naruto inexplicably take away someone from the Uchiha clan, and seeing them both return, they began to discuss it one after another.At this moment, a dark figure rushed straight toward Naruto. Naruto suddenly felt a sense of crisis and subconsciously opened a portal, moving to a distance. He saw that where he had been standing, the ground had been blasted into a large pit by flames.The dark figure revealed itself to be an angry Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi looked at Sasuke, who had been beaten into a pig's head, and his heart was filled with burning rage. Just a moment ago, Sasuke had been right beside him but was taken away. He felt filled with a sense of powerlessness, and now, seeing the culprit who had beaten Sasuke like this right in front of him.Uchiha Itachi's anger ignited, and his Sharinganopened unconsciously, the tomoe in his eyes spinning faster and faster. Just at this critical moment, the Third Hokage suddenly appeared, standing between Uchiha Itachi and Naruto, his calm voice ringing out: "Uchiha Itachi, calm down."Uchiha Itachi took a deep breath, and his Sharinganslowly closed, his anger subsiding slightly. The Third Hokage's gaze was firm, his tone calm: "Naruto, explain." Naruto shrugged and said with an innocent face, "I just didn't like him." Sasukecovered his face, a look of humiliation flashing in his eyes. Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists tightly, holding back from acting, and the Third Hokagefrowned in thought, finally not speaking after a moment.The atmosphere at the scene was tense, and everyone held their breath waiting, but they saw the Third Hokage wave his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.The Ninja Academy entrance exam was about to begin, and the new students lined up nervously to enter. Ino and Sakura Haruno cheered each other on, their gazes subconsciously sweeping over Sasuke's disheveled figure. Although Ino and Sakura Haruno were shocked inside, they tacitly remained silent.Naruto looked at this scene with satisfaction. "Sasuke, although I feel a bit sorry for you right now, this is all for my quest," Naruto thought for a moment."I'm treating you poorly now, but the night of the clan annihilation is in six years. I should have a certain level of strength by then. When that time comes, I might not be able to save the whole clan, but I will save your parents, which will count as compensation.""Hehe, what a profitable deal. Taking a beating can avert the tragedy of losing both parents," Narutocontinued to calculate in his mind."I need to be more careful at that time. Shisui's eyes must be obtained then. Kotoamatsukami is completely a bug-level skill.""A godly skill that controls the human heart and can change the course of fate. It's a pity that Shisuidoesn't know how to use it. By the way, in my previous life, I loved playing as Shisui in the Narutomobile game. Let's see if I can save him; it counts as a bit of nostalgia."Naruto planned out his future plans, his lips curving slightly upward. He happened to take first place in the entrance exam, showed off a bit, then directly opened a portal and left gracefully, leaving a sentence for the Third Hokage: "I'll be here for the official start of school tomorrow."The Third Hokage seemed to want to say something to Naruto, but in the end, he just nodded, watching him disappear into the portal.
Chapter 6: Enrollment FrictionThe next day, Naruto arrived at the Ninja Academyand happened to run into his first mentor from the original story, Iruka Umino.Thinking about it, Iruka was a purely positive figure in the original story and seemed to treat him well, so Naruto smiled and greeted Iruka, "Hello, Iruka-sensei."Looking at the sunny child in front of him, Irukatried his best to control himself from associating him with the Nine-Tailed fox, and struggled to force a smile, but it remained somewhat strained.Damn it. He had been mentally preparing himself for many days. Although he didn't want to conflate the child before him with the Nine-Tailed fox that killed his parents, facing Naruto, he still couldn't bring himself to treat him like a normal teacher treats a student.Naruto looked at the forced smile on Iruka's face but didn't mind, nor did he obsess over whether it matched the original story. After all, having arrived in this world, some changes were only natural, and in the original story, Iruka hadn't fully accepted Naruto from the very beginning either.Just as Naruto was about to leave, Iruka called him back. Iruka tried his best to keep his tone calm as he said, "Naruto, you didn't come yesterday and just left, so the other students have already introduced their dreams, but you haven't yet. You should go up and introduce yourself in a moment."Hearing Iruka's words, Naruto nodded slightly and continued toward the classroom. He soon arrived at his destination, standing in front of the classroom door, where he could feel the commotion inside even through the door.Naruto pushed the door open and entered. The people inside didn't notice at first, but as soon as the first person saw Naruto, they fell into an eerie silence. When the student next to them asked what was wrong, the silent student pointed at Naruto.Then, like a chain reaction, the classroom slowly quieted down, until finally, it became so silent you could hear a pin drop.Seeing this, Naruto chuckled inwardly, thinking that his current intimidation factor probably paled even his stern homeroom teacher from his past life.Naruto strode straight into the classroom, scanned the room, and saw a random extra sitting in the seat next to Hinata.Naruto walked up to the extra and said, "Kid, you've already courted death. I advise you not to be ungrateful; obediently give up your seat to this Prince."Upon hearing this, the extra's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled slightly, clearly intimidated by Naruto's domineering aura. He looked around at his classmates, then at Naruto, and finally chose to get up silently, giving the seat to Naruto. Seeing this, Naruto curled his lips into a smug smile and swaggered into the seat next to Hinata.At this moment, Hinata was looking down, writing something, and didn't seem to notice Naruto's arrival. Naruto reached out and tapped Hinata.Hinata looked up, her clear eyes gazing at Naruto, and she instantly turned into a "steam girl," whispering, "Naruto, why did you sit here?"Naruto explained, "Of course, it's because you're the only one I'm familiar with here."Hinata's face instantly turned red, and she muttered to herself, "Naruto-kun said he's only familiar with me." Then, the steam intensified, seemingly exceeding her limit, and she fainted quite dramatically.Sigh, it seems Hinata has successfully fallen for me. This habit of turning red whenever she talks to me hasn't changed a bit from the original. However, I remember that in the original, Hinatawas always underfed; could these constant fainting spells be due to low blood sugar?As Naruto was lost in his wild thoughts, Irukaarrived in the classroom and habitually called for quiet, but was surprised to find the classroom so silent today.However, Iruka didn't think too much about it and said to the students, "Yesterday we were missing a student. Today, this new student has arrived. Let's have the new student introduce himself and tell us what his dream is."Naruto didn't refuse. He walked up to the podium and said, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, which you should all know. Honestly, in my eyes, you are all just a bunch of NPCs. Except for a few who have some value to me, I have no interest in paying attention to the rest of you.""During these years at school, keep a low profile when you run into me. Otherwise, that kid over there will be your fate." Naruto pointed his finger at Sasuke.Having been insulted multiple times, Sasukeclenched his fists tightly, unable to suppress the anger in his eyes. Finally, unable to endure it any longer, he stood up, rushed toward Naruto, and shouted, "I'll kill you!"Naruto didn't care about Sasuke rushing at him; instead, he was stunned as he looked into Sasuke's eyes.He saw that Sasuke's irises had turned red, each containing a single tomoe. His eyes were symmetrical, and the tomoe within them were slowly rotating. These eyes should have been cool, but it was a pity they were growing on a pig's head.However, in the original story, didn't Sasuke only awaken the one-tomoe Sharingan after wiping out his entire clan? How come he awakened the Sharingan now just because I provoked him a little?While Naruto was stunned, Sasuke had already rushed right in front of him, swinging his fist to strike Naruto. But Naruto instantly opened a portal, appeared behind Sasuke in a flash, and raised his foot.In an instant, he kicked Sasuke onto the blackboard. With just that one kick, Sasuke fell and couldn't get back up.Falling to the ground, Sasuke pounded the earth in rage, saying, "Damn it."Naruto had intended to walk up to him and mock him a bit more to see if he could help him awaken a second tomoe, but when Iruka saw Naruto walking toward Sasuke, he quickly stood in front of Sasuketo block Naruto and said to him:"That's enough! Bullying a fellow villager and beating him like this—this is the behavior of the Nine-Tailed fox! I actually dared to think I could change you. Someone like you becoming a Ninjawill be a disaster for Konoha Village."Iruka scolded Naruto, but Naruto didn't care about Iruka's accusations at all and instead sneered. "A disaster? Aren't you all already treating me as the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed fox? Then I'll just act like the Nine-Tailed fox. Anyway, I'm already regarded as a monster, so what else is there to be afraid of?" Naruto turned around, opened a portal, and left the classroom, leaving a scene of chaos behind.At this moment, listening to Naruto's words, Irukafelt a complex mix of emotions. He knew the pain in Naruto's heart, but he also had to face the reality that Naruto had completely deviated from the path of a Ninja.The other students in the classroom were stunned, shocked into silence by the scene before them. Iruka was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm as he said to the students, "Alright, everyone, please return to your seats. I will report today's events to the Hokage-sama. Let's continue with the rest of the class."After speaking, he walked over to Sasuke and gently checked his injuries. After confirming that his life was not in danger, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.The flames of anger were still burning in Sasuke's eyes, but under Iruka's soothing, he slowly calmed down. The other students also began to whisper, but their voices were very low; they felt fear regarding Naruto's behavior.Amidst all the noise, only one soft, cute voice spoke up with worry, "Naruto-kun..."
Chapter 7: The Beginning of YandereJust as Naruto returned home, the system's notification sound rang in his mind.[Detected host's death-seeking experience, insulting the young Uchiha clan leader to the point of awakening their eyes. The host has triggered the autonomous death-seeking reward for the first time. Reward: one Heavens Material draw opportunity, reward: one-tomoe Sharingan.]Naruto felt a surge of joy. The familiar lottery wheel quickly unfolded before his eyes. Last time, he had drawn a divine artifact like the Sling Ring. What would he draw this time?Following the system's announcement that it had automatically started the wheel for the host, Naruto saw the colorful virtual wheel spinning rapidly before him. Finally, a burst of purple light emerged from the wheel and dissipated, turning into something that looked like a potion.[Automatically collected into the system inventory.]Naruto couldn't wait to open his inventory. He tapped on the potion icon with his consciousness, and the potion's details instantly expanded: [Potion Name: Personality Change Series, Yandere. Effect: Forcibly changes a person's personality. You can specify the Yandere target for the person who drinks the Yandere potion.]Naruto stared at the potion in his hand, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom. He seemed to see a path to success, and a plan to complete Ino's final mission faintly formed in his mind.But how exactly should he operate? Narutocarefully recalled Ino's personality and the mission objective. The Mind Transfer Jutsu—honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the main body couldn't move, this jutsu would be a god-tier skill.Naruto could feel that the key to completing his mission would rely on the combination of the Yandere potion and the Mind Transfer Jutsu.But as Naruto was thinking about how to cleverly utilize the two, an old voice came from outside his door: "Little Naruto, Grandpa is here. Grandpa wants to talk to you."Hearing the voice, Naruto's heart stirred, but he still opened the door. As Naruto opened the door, Sandaime Hokage walked in with a smile and said to Naruto: "How was school today? Why did you come back early? If there is anything unhappy at school, just tell me."Naruto thought to himself, 'This old geezer is playing dumb while knowing full well what happened. I don't believe he doesn't know everything that happened at school today.'Naruto remained silent; he didn't want to talk to this sinister old geezer.Seeing that Naruto had fallen silent again, Sandaime didn't expect a reply and continued directly: "Naruto, I know you have a lot of grievances in your heart, but you must maintain the kindness within you.""Iruka was emotionally agitated today and his words were a bit harsh. Don't take it to heart. This is a scroll for the Chakra Extraction Jutsu. The school has already taught it, but since you left, you didn't hear it."Sandaime put down the scroll and said one last thing to Naruto: "Little Naruto will surely become a qualified Ninja in the future. Grandpa believes in you." Then he turned and left.Naruto looked at the scroll and thought: 'This old geezer is finally a bit useful. Although I can blow many people up, I still don't have Chakra until now.'Naruto quickly unfolded the scroll, a glimmer of anticipation flashing in his eyes. The ChakraExtraction Jutsu was exactly the skill he urgently needed right now.After reading the scroll, it was just as he knew from his past life: combine spiritual energy and physical energy in a certain proportion to convert them into Chakra.Naruto took a deep breath, followed the steps on the scroll, and slowly closed his eyes to feel the flow of energy within his body. A moment later, streams of Chakra were generated within him. A smile appeared at the corner of Naruto's mouth. Sure enough, having a Sage Body made extracting Chakra completely easy and pleasant.After a while, Naruto disguised himself slightly at home.It should be time for the Ninja Academy to let out. Should I use this bottle of potion on Sakura Harunoor Ino? Naruto pondered for a moment and decided to observe the interaction between Ino and Sakura Haruno first before deciding on the best candidate.The setting sun cast its golden glow on the two of them. Ino and Sakura Haruno were seen walking out of the school gate side by side, their steps light. At the moment of parting, they hugged each other tightly, and then waved goodbye reluctantly. The scene was warm and touching.This didn't reveal much. Naruto thought carefully. In the original story, Sakura Haruno's admiration for Sasuke was much stronger, and she was completely lovestruck—no matter how Sasuketreated her, she remained devoted.This kind of persistent love should be more suitable for the Yandere potion, right? Naruto thought to himself: 'I'll just trust my own judgment.'Naruto followed Sakura Haruno, hiding his figure and observing quietly, but there was no suitable opportunity to use the potion, so Naruto had to continue waiting patiently.This wait lasted until it was time for Sakura Haruno's family to cook. Naruto knew the time had come.He first opened the potion bottle and opened a small portal into the water that Sakura Haruno's mother was pouring for Sakura Haruno.A small light portal appeared in the air in front of Naruto, from which some water flowed down. Naruto waited until only half the water remained in the cup, then opened another light portal above the cup and slowly poured the potion into it. The light portal then vanished, the whole process silent and stealthy.Sakura Haruno picked up the water cup without noticing anything and took a gentle sip.Seeing this, Naruto nodded with satisfaction. The system sent a notification: [Potion successfully used. Detected that the target has an inner personality. Does the host want to use it on the outer personality or the inner personality? Whom do you specify as the target's Yandere object?]Naruto chose the outer personality without hesitation and specified Ino as the Yandere object. Following the system's notification [Usage successful], Naruto saw Sakura Haruno's eyes blur for a moment, but otherwise, there seemed to be no change.Nothing could be seen for now, so Naruto decided to leave first and observe tomorrow.Naruto went back and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed; his brain cells had been consumed quite a lot that day.Even though he was very exhausted the previous day, Naruto, possessing the Sage Body, still woke up feeling refreshed. After a simple wash, he opened a portal and headed to the Ninja Academy.Just as Naruto stepped into the Ninja Academygate, he saw Sakura Haruno and Ino greeting each other affectionately as usual.Seeing that everything was as usual, Narutothought: 'The generation of Yandere probably requires a specific trigger.'Naruto felt he didn't need to use the real Sasukefor the time being. When Sasuke's face recovered, Ino would definitely fall for him. By then, when Sakura Haruno saw Ino liking someone else, hehehe.After that, Naruto spent a period of uneventful daily life until one day, when Naruto saw that Sasuke's face had completely recovered, and he felt secretly delighted.Sasuke's face was brand new, and his temperament was cold. Seeing such a Sasuke, Ino's eyes instantly filled with little hearts, and she said to Sakura beside her: "Sakura, I feel like I've fallen in love."Hearing this, Sakura Haruno's heart jolted, and a trace of gloom flashed in her eyes. "Then congratulations, Ino. But what do you like about Sasuke?" Sakura Haruno asked, pretending not to care.Ino replied: "Sasuke is very handsome, and his temperament is so cool. I truly like this type."Ino continued to talk endlessly about Sasuke, but completely failed to notice the gloom in Sakura Haruno's eyes gradually deepening."I should be happy for Ino, right? But why does my heart hurt so much?" Sakura Haruno watched as the possessiveness in Ino's eyes slowly rose.
Chapter 8: Skipping School with Hinata and Chojifor BarbecueWatching the interaction between Ino and Sakura, Naruto knew it was a success; the rest depended on how things developed from here.He turned his head to look at Choji. The teacher was lecturing at the front, but Choji held a bag of potato chips, furtively stuffing them into his mouth, his eyes darting toward the teacher every now and then, terrified of being caught.Naruto watched Choji's actions and pondered."System, what are Choji's tasks again?"The system's voice rang out: "Ding. Choji's primary task: snatch his snacks and finish them off right in front of him.""Intermediate task: make Choji lose weight and get a good physique. Task completion criteria: Akimichi Choji must have an eight-pack.""Ultimate task: amplify his love for food and have him complete one thousand dishes recognized by the system."Looking at the tasks, Naruto pondered. Actually, the primary and ultimate tasks were easy to complete, but the intermediate task was the trickiest. The Akimichi clan's secret Ninjutsurequired fat accumulation. Since that was the case, he could set aside the intermediate task for now. This was a good opportunity to complete the primary task first.Naruto opened a portal next to Choji's potato chips, grabbed them, pulled them back quickly, and closed the portal. The movement was fluid and natural; Choji hadn't even reacted yet.Just as Naruto was about to stuff the chips into his mouth, he suddenly realized that wouldn't work; the task required him to finish them off in front of Choji for it to count as complete.So, Naruto opened the portal again, reached his hand through, patted the stunned Choji, and pointed in his own direction.Choji turned his head. Seeing this, Naruto made a face, tore open the package, and ate heartily. Chojiwas dumbfounded, forced to watch as the potato chips vanished rapidly.Seeing Naruto being so arrogant, Iruka was about to scold him, but remembered the Hokage's instructions to him that day."Be more tolerant of Naruto. As long as he doesn't do anything too excessive, it's fine to ignore it."Iruka could only sigh helplessly, suppress his dissatisfaction, and continue the lecture.On this side, Naruto finished the potato chips bite by bite in front of Choji, and after finishing, even turned the empty bag upside down in front of Chojito show there was nothing left."Ding. Congratulations, Master, for completing the Choji character series primary task: snatch Choji's snacks and finish them off in front of him.""Reward: Complete Control Series, Mind Bomb."Seeing Naruto's malicious behavior, Choji grew angrier the more he thought about it. Finally, his eyes turned red, and with a wail, he burst into tears. Naruto was slightly stunned at the sight, then secretly thought to himself: "As expected, Choji is still just a child right now."Seeing Choji crying so loudly, Iruka felt even more irritated. He had seen everything clearly from the podium earlier and was just about to say something.Naruto stood up abruptly and flashed away. A portal opened quietly in front of him, and he stepped straight into it, appearing instantly beside Choji. He turned his head and said to Iruka: "I'm going to comfort this guy; don't worry about it."Just as Iruka wanted to stop Naruto from taking Choji away, he saw that Naruto didn't care at all about what he might say; it was more of a notification, and he immediately teleported away with Choji.Naruto first teleported with Choji to a barbecue shop, grabbed some barbecue seasoning and several pounds of meat, and finally took a picnic set. As he was leaving, he saw the owner who had scolded him before, teleported in front of the owner, gave him a slap with a "smack," and then drifted away with Choji.The owner: "What the f*ck!"The scene shifted. Naruto had already brought Choji to a quiet lakeside, lit a campfire, and was skillfully grilling meat. Smelling the aroma of the meat, Choji calmed down from the panic of being taken away by Naruto.Naruto handed Choji a piece of golden-brown grilled meat and smiled: "Stop crying and taste my handiwork." Choji was stunned and asked: "For me?"Naruto nodded, his smile deepening: "Of course. You treated me to potato chips, so I'm treating you to barbecue." Choji took the meat, tears still swirling in his eyes, but couldn't help taking a bite. He thought to himself, "Didn't you steal the chips? But never mind, the barbecue is really delicious."Seeing Choji eating happily, Naruto opened another portal and brought over a bewildered Hinata as well, saying: "Hinata, let's eat barbecue together."Hinata said worriedly: "We left school just like this; is that okay?" Naruto waved his hand at Hinata and said: "No problem. Anyway, I'm the one who dragged you out, so don't think too much about it. Come, try my handiwork." Hinata hesitated for a moment, but eventually took the grilled meat and ate it; her eyes lit up immediately."So delicious," Hinata exclaimed.Thus, the whole afternoon turned into Narutogrilling meat and feeding the two big eaters. The three of them sat around the campfire, laughter and joy never ceasing.Keeping track of the time, Naruto returned to the Ninja Academy just as school was about to let out, but saw that the classroom was empty. Narutowas a bit puzzled. Beside him, Hinata spoke up: "Naruto, today seems to be the day for combat drills. Everyone has gone to the training ground."Naruto nodded. So that was it; no wonder the classroom was empty. Then, Naruto waved his hand, opened a portal, and took Choji and Hinatastraight to the training ground.Iruka, who was supervising a spar between a random student A and a random student B, saw Naruto appear suddenly with Choji and Hinata. He stared at Hinata and Choji, observing them carefully.Seeing that neither Hinata nor Choji had been harmed, his expression relaxed, and he let out a sigh of relief. When Naruto took Choji and Hinataaway in the afternoon, Iruka had gone to find the Hokage, but the Hokage had waved his hand and said: "No worries, they are fine. Little Naruto just wanted to apologize to Choji."Iruka could only drop the matter. Now, seeing them return safely, the weight in his heart finally lifted.Iruka said to the three of them: "It's good that you're back. The three of you will also participate in the combat drills. Naruto, you are not allowed to use your teleportation ability. You and Shikamaruwill spar first."Hearing this, Naruto nodded, teleported into the sparring field, and Shikamaru lazily walked in afterward.After Iruka called for the Seal of Confrontation, Naruto and Shikamaru stood facing each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.Shikamaru, however, suddenly yawned, raised an arm, and said: "I give up."Naruto smiled bitterly. Should he say, "As expected of Shikamaru"? He should have thought of this earlier. He had actually wanted to test whether his current physical fitness could break free from the control of the Shadow Possession Jutsu using brute force.Naruto shook his head helplessly and turned to say to Iruka: "Does this count as me winning?"Iruka nodded and announced: "Naruto versus Shikamaru, Naruto wins."After going through many more sparring matches, Naruto grew sleepy. The battles on the field were just children fighting; it was all just amateurs pecking at each other.The final battle was Naruto versus Sasuke. The two formed the Seal of Confrontation, pulled apart, and the atmosphere froze.Sasuke spoke first: "Naruto, you're dead this time. I learned a powerful Ninjutsu from my brother, specifically to take revenge on you. Insulting an Uchiha will be the thing you regret most in your life."Naruto also spoke: "So much nonsense. Now that your face is healed, you're getting cocky again, right? If you want to fight, hurry up."The tense atmosphere of the battle had reached its peak. The moment of imminent conflict was about to arrive, and the air was filled with the scent of an impending clash.
Chapter 9: AwakeningSasuke first threw some Kunai at Naruto to test him. Several Kunai traced arcs in the air, colliding with each other and making crisp sounds.Sasuke thought smugly, "Not dodging on the first day is your biggest mistake. This is the UchihaStyle Kunai Throwing Technique; I've already sealed off your path." Sasuke watched Naruto with full concentration.Watching the Kunai flying toward him and changing their trajectory, Naruto sneered at Sasuke, "Such weak attacks; only the weak need to dodge."Naruto stood his ground. The Kunai struck Naruto's body, sounding like they had hit steel, emitting a dull thud.Sasuke was stunned. Is Naruto's body even human? How could any human's skin not be cut by a Kunai? Sasuke, who had been full of fighting spirit, felt waves of fear and self-doubt arise in his heart at this sight. "I... I... can I really beat this monster?"However, Sasuke quickly strengthened his resolve. "I still have that move. The move my brother taught me will definitely be able to defeat him."Naruto said to Sasuke, "Use whatever techniques you have left, otherwise you won't have a chance once I make my move."After hearing this, a flash of determination crossed Sasuke's eyes. He shouted loudly, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Then, taking a deep breath, he gathered all his Chakra and spat out a giant fireball from his mouth.The fireball was scorching. Naruto felt its temperature. Even with his Sage Body, he couldn't take this fireball head-on. However, "If this is all you're relying on, then I can only say that thinking you can defeat me is nothing but wishful thinking.""No matter how good or powerful a Ninjutsu is, it's all in vain if it doesn't hit anyone."Naruto nimbly dodged to the side, evading the strike Sasuke had poured all his Chakra into. Watching Sasuke lying limp on the ground, his Chakra exhausted, Naruto said to him, "That didn't satisfy me at all. Is your power really this weak?"Afterward, he shook his head slightly, his figure flashed, a portal opened in response, and Narutoturned and disappeared from the spot.Naruto teleported to the window of the newly built Hokage Building. Looking inside through the window, the Third Hokage was busy reviewing something. Naruto nodded in satisfaction and teleported to the eaves of the Third Hokage's house, looking inside.After the fight just now, Naruto felt a major deficiency in himself; he lacked offensive methods, and the Book of Sealing from the original work could perfectly compensate for his flaws.Naruto looked at the Anbu deployed around the Hokage's home and thought to himself. Soon, Naruto came up with a good idea—the reward he had just obtained from completing Choji's beginner mission: [Mind Bomb].This skill can plant a bomb in the enemy's mind for a short time. Detonating it can set a psychological suggestion. The skill can slowly level up with use.Naruto first planted a psychological suggestion in the Anbu around the Hokage's home: "I feel like the Hokage will be in danger today; I will provide support at top speed." Then, he opened a very small portal in the newly built Hokage Buildingand threw in five Natural Energy Bombs.This amount shouldn't kill the old man. I still need the old man to suppress Danzo Shimura right now; at most, it will only leave him half-crippled.Naruto activated the concept, detonating the Natural Energy Bombs. Instantly, the Hokage Office was shrouded in white light, the windows shattered, and thick smoke billowed outward."Oh no, Hokage-sama has been attacked! I must rush to provide support!"The Mind Bomb Naruto planted was detonated, and the Anbu collectively rushed toward the Hokage Building.Naruto stood on the eaves, watching the hurried figures of the Anbu, and silently thought, "Everything is as I expected." Then he jumped down lightly and began to search for the location of the Book of Sealing. After searching the entire room, Naruto hadn't found a trace of the Book of Sealing and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.Suddenly, Naruto looked at the Third Hokage's bookshelf, thinking of the movies where bookshelves always have some kind of mechanism. Then Naruto began to carefully check the bookshelf. Finally, in a corner, when he pulled out a book, a mechanical sound rang out, and the bookshelf moved to the right, revealing a hidden secret room.Naruto walked into the secret room and saw it filled with dense rows of scrolls. Naruto didn't know which one was the Book of Sealing, so he called the System and said, "Store all these scrolls into the System Backpack."The System's voice sounded, [Ding, okay Master, they have been stored in the System Backpack.][Konoha Confidential Scroll 119], [NinjutsuScroll 78], [Book of Sealing], [icha icha paradise Vol. 1, 2, 3]Oh my, this old man even hid icha icha paradise in here. Naruto flipped through a few pages and curled his lips speechlessly. The aesthetic of this Ninja World is really not great. In his past life, he had drawn doujinshi himself. Looking at the plot of the icha icha paradise book jacket and the low-quality illustrations, Naruto took it out and threw it on the ground. Thinking about it, he threw twenty more Natural Energy Bombs into the secret room, opened a portal, and teleported to the Hokage Rock.He opened a small portal, reached his hand in, and detonated the bombs.With a loud bang, a mushroom cloud rose from the Hokage's home. The unruly people within a ten-meter radius ascended to heaven happily and painlessly, while Naruto stood on the Hokage Rock, smiling as he watched his masterpiece."Refreshing." It's just a pity it wasn't as pretty as the mushroom cloud from the building earlier. After watching the mushroom cloud, Naruto returned home.Naruto spread out the Book of Sealing. The first one was the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, the second was the Flying Thunder God Technique, the third was the Summoning Jutsu, and Edo Tensei.The fourth was the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags. Naruto took one look and was captivated by it. The theory behind it could also be used for his Natural Energy Bombs. For instance, this time Naruto blew up ten meters; if he used this technique, the range would expand by at least twenty meters, and the power would increase several times over.Most of the remaining Ninjutsu were ones Narutohadn't seen in the original work. Naruto decided to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu first. After all, learning the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu was equivalent to turning on a clone cheat and an AFK cheat; he didn't need to limit himself to Konoha Village at all.He could completely open up more clones to finish learning these Ninjutsu, raise his System rating, unlock the opportunity to accept more simultaneous missions, and teleport his clones to the major ninja villages.Replace the original people in the ninja villages, interact with characters from the original work, grind missions, and accept them in a multi-threaded manner. The more Naruto thought about it, the more excited he became. If he followed this blueprint, the coming period would be like cheating.However, he had to pay attention to the time. If the clones' memories were too much, he was afraid he would be overwhelmed. Just as Naruto was thinking this, he suddenly felt a bit sleepy. Narutodidn't think much of it, assuming he was just too exhausted.As Naruto lay on the bed, his eyelids grew heavy and gradually closed. His consciousness slowly sank, arriving in a dark and damp space.Naruto opened his eyes and looked at the surrounding environment. He had a guess in his heart: the Seal Space?Naruto looked around. The scene of the Seal Space was almost identical to the description in his memory. While Naruto was observing, a loud roar suddenly came from the front: "Brat, come here."Naruto's ears were bothered by the noise, but looking at the oppressive, dark, and damp environment around him, he felt it was understandable. If he were imprisoned in such a place, he figured he would be the same.He walked slowly forward, and before long, he arrived in front of a huge prison cell constructed of iron bars. On the central iron bar was a talisman with the character'Seal' written on it, which acted like a padlock, tightly locking the two iron doors.As soon as Naruto arrived at the prison cell, he saw a irritable fox inside pounding the iron bars, its head pressed against the door, staring viciously at Naruto, as if it wanted to swallow him alive.Kurama stared fixedly at Naruto's eyes. "Brat, you clearly shouldn't have those eyes. Why do I have a sickening feeling of facing those eyes directly?"Naruto thought to himself: 'That's of course because I hid my One-Tomoe Sharingan.'Naruto smiled slightly and said to the Nine-Tailed, "Guess, Kurama."Kurama's eyes widened instantly. How did this brat know his real name?Naruto looked at Kurama's expression and felt a secret thrill. The feeling of being a riddle-maker is just great; no wonder so many people love to be riddle-makers.Naruto didn't wait for the Nine-Tailed to react and continued, saying to the Nine-Tailed, "Kurama, it's been many years; I've brought you some warmth."Naruto had been eager to test the power of the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags. Perhaps it was because in his past life, he loved the brilliance of an explosion in that instant and the feeling of fleeting transience, so Naruto had an exceptionally high talent for this type of thing.Just by glancing at it roughly, Naruto felt he already knew how to use it.Hmm, Naruto thought for a moment. After all, this was inside his own body, so he should throw fewer. So, he took out one hundred Natural Energy Bombs and threw them into the prison cell.Heh, just kidding. Being able to feel an explosion inside your own body is really super cool, okay?The Nine-Tailed seemed to feel the powerful energy contained within and asked Naruto, stuttering slightly, "Brat, what is this thing?"Naruto smiled at Kurama and said, "You'll come to like it; this is a good thing."After saying this, Naruto detonated the bombs and exited the Seal Space a second before the explosion. The reaction of the explosion seemed to occur in his own mind.This is a bit too strong; it seems I overdid it. Narutocouldn't help but cover his ears, feeling the explosion and the Nine-Tailed's wailing and angry roars. Even though he felt his mental will being impacted and eroded, he also felt an indescribable excitement.Even though he was about to faint, at this moment, Naruto instead felt something profound and mysterious, as if he had grasped something in the dark. Naruto slowly sat cross-legged and activated his Sage Body.Feeling the natural energy around him, the explosion in his mind allowed Naruto to perceive a rhythm. Naruto listened to the rhythm of the explosion, and the natural energy around his body surged like a tide; his body seemed to become a huge energy vortex.
Chapter 10: Black Hole ModeAs the magnitude of his energy continued to rise, Naruto gained a deeper understanding of his own state.His current state was likely caused by energy generated from a fusion reaction in his mental world, triggering resonance in the physical world, where high-quality fusion energy attracted low-quality natural particles from the outside.Naruto felt his own Chakra mixing with the external natural particles during the fusion process. Under the influence of the fusion in his mental space, it continuously generated forces of outward pushing and inward pulling. This force slowly changed from disorder to order, eventually collapsing into a single point, which seemed like a singularity in the universe, containing endless possibilities.Naruto entered the sealing space. The original dampness and darkness were completely gone, and the prison cell had vanished as well. Instead, there was a huge, mysterious black hole in the sky. The black hole was like an inscrutable ghost, lying dormant quietly.It had no physical outline, but possessed a terrifyingly powerful gravitational force. Everything around it was pitch black, like a dark abyss in the universe that had been swallowed; no light could escape from here. Naruto felt his Chakraintertwining with the black hole's gravity, as if his Chakra were being swallowed by the black hole, only to be returned in an instant."Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully courting death, developing Black Hole Mode, and almost killing yourself.""Reward the host with a ten-consecutive-draw for items from the heavens.""Not yet," Naruto said to the system. Now, Narutowas curious about Kurama. Naruto was somewhat puzzled; had Kurama died when the black hole was generated? Naruto looked around.At this moment, Kurama's voice roared, "Hey, brat, what the hell is this thing? Shut it down quickly! I'm about to be dragged into this pitch-black thing. Hurry up! If I die, you won't survive either!"Naruto looked toward where the voice came from and saw a golden Chakra mass circling at the edge of the black hole. Within the Chakra mass, Kurama's roar became increasingly urgent, and the golden light flickered under the gravitational pull of the black hole.Looking at the Nine-Tailed Chakra mass in the black hole, Naruto inexplicably had the feeling of a cute little fox being held on a leash by its owner, unable to run and only able to anxiously yelp.Naruto took a deep breath and concentrated. This black hole was also generated by the fusion of his own Chakra, so he should be able to control it.He sensed the black hole with all his might, sinking his spirit into it, attempting to synchronize with the black hole's gravity. Naruto felt his spirit being pulled and stretched like a piece of dough."This black hole is actually good for training mental strength, but I need to hurry now. I feel that with my current mental strength, if I stay in the black hole for too long, my spirit will be torn apart."Thus, Naruto said to Kurama, "Kurama, I can only control the black hole for an instant. You must take that opportunity to dash out with all your might. If you can't make it out, then I have no other choice."After saying this, Naruto let out a roar, gathering all his strength to forcibly slow down the black hole for one second.Kurama roared, and a golden light suddenly erupted, instantly breaking free from the black hole's gravity and shooting out like a streak of light. Naruto followed closely behind, exiting the sealing space and panting heavily. The Nine-Tailed hung in the air, roaring at Naruto, yet faintly revealing a hint of awe."Brat, what exactly is this thing you've created? Why is it so terrifying? Although I don't feel like I would die if I were dragged into the center, the world behind this thing...""I can't feel a single bit of natural energy; it seems incomparably cold and void."Naruto ignored Kurama's question and said to Kurama, "Release your Chakra; I have something I want to test."Kurama said disdainfully, "Heh, brat, why should I listen to you?"Naruto smiled slightly, a flash of threat appearing in his eyes: "Because you wouldn't want to experience that feeling again, right?" Kurama could only snort and helplessly release its Chakra."Heh, brat, my Chakra isn't so easy to take." The Nine-Tailed's Chakra was filled with malice; it was the hatred accumulated over thousands of years.However, Naruto was completely unaffected. The black hole was like a bottomless abyss, greedily devouring the Chakra released by the Nine-Tailed. His body surface turned into the deep dark night, with Chakra flowing within it like a magnificent galaxy. At this moment, the Nine-Tailed Chakra he had fused with was neither the scorching red fox mode from the original work nor the dazzling golden Kurama Link Mode.Feeling the star-like Chakra on his body, full of power yet having a desire to devour everything, Naruto decided, "Let's call this Chakra mode Black Hole Mode.""Alright, that's enough," Naruto said to Kurama.Kurama withdrew its Chakra, feeling incredibly dumbfounded. Is this really a power from the Ninja World? Originally, it could always see Naruto, but ever since Naruto went to the hospital that time, it had been unable to see Naruto's perspective. Upon meeting again, Naruto had shown it such terrifying power.Kurama looked at Naruto's azure eyes and thought to itself, "Old man, could this be the blue-eyed boy you prophesied who would laughingly call out the names of the nine beasts?"On the other side, Naruto pondered to himself, "What would my current power level be?" So he asked the system, "What level does my current power belong to?"The system's voice sounded, "Ding, host, your current power level is: Weak Country Level: capable of destroying a small country, turning most of its territory into ruins, dealing a devastating blow to the country's military, economic, and other infrastructure. Number of tasks that can be accepted simultaneously: 7."Naruto took a deep breath. All the stored Natural Energy Bombs had been used to blow himself up, but he had stumbled into creating Black Hole Mode, so it was definitely not a loss.Naruto asked the system, "System, what is your standard for evaluating power levels?""Ding, host, the standard for evaluating your power level is based on the extent to which your strongest strike can reach.""Isn't it based on overall strength?" Naruto asked the system, and the system responded,"Originally, it should be based on overall strength, but considering that the host's form of power is to concentrate on a single point, give it your all, and erupt strongly, the system has changed it to the evaluation standard most suitable for the host."Naruto nodded slightly, and his heart suddenly became clear. He also realized that his current form of power was indeed more suited to this evaluation standard.Naruto still decided to continue learning the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu first to enhance his own strength. After reading it a few times, Narutounderstood that the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsuitself was very simple; it was only listed as a forbidden jutsu because it consumed too much Chakra."Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto shouted. Chakraflowed, and instantly, dozens of clones were created. Naruto opened portals, sending these clones into different spaces one by one. Each clone underwent high-intensity training, consuming Chakra rapidly but with significant results.Naruto's original body observed from the side, adjusting the training plan to ensure that each clone could maximize the speed of learning progress.When the adjustments were mostly done, Narutoprepared to return home and let the clones cultivate on their own.After arriving home, Naruto couldn't wait to call out the system."System, let's do the ten-consecutive-draw."
Chapter 11: Assassinating the KazekageThe colorful, glowing, illusory roulette wheel appeared before Naruto again. Just as he was preparing to watch the wheel spin as usual, the system's voice rang out."Detected that the host has ten-draw attempts. Would you like to switch to the gacha interface and pull all at once? Hint: The ten-draw guarantees one high-quality item."Naruto chose to switch the gacha interface without hesitation. The interface changed instantly, and a game interface similar to 'Genshin Impact,' which he played in his previous life, appeared before him.However, the featured UP character wasn't a character, but an orange, mysterious gem. The gem was surrounded by a brilliant halo, as if it contained endless power.Naruto's heart raced as he clicked on the UP details."[Item: Soul Gem. One of the six Infinity Stones in the Marvel Universe, possessing the ability to steal, manipulate, modify, and even create souls. This gem can not only manipulate the souls of living beings...]""[...but can also drive the undead and release powerful explosive shockwaves.]""[This item has a small pity at 200 pulls, with a 50% probability of obtaining the featured UP. 300 pulls guarantees the featured UP.]"Naruto took a deep breath to suppress his inner excitement. He knew he could only look for now; only by working hard to 'court death' and complete the system's character series missions could he obtain draw attempts and possess this powerful gem.Naruto initiated the draw. The orange gem that had been floating and tempting him disappeared, replaced by a magnificent universe.Suddenly, Naruto saw a tiny point trembling violently in the endless void, as if some ancient power was awakening. It began to expand, releasing endless energy into the magnificent universe with unimaginable speed and power.Light instantly filled the entire space, scorching flames surged like tides, driving away the darkness. Time began its journey, and space began to expand without limit.Finally, the universe returned to silence. Floating in the space were five light-blue potions, four cyan-green potions, and a monocle with an earpiece."[Congratulations to the host for obtaining Mental Power Enhancement Potion * 5, Physique Enhancement Potion * 4, and the high-quality item, Peeping Monocle.]"Naruto checked the item descriptions. "[Mental Power Enhancement Potion: Effect is to slightly increase the user's mental power.]""[Physique Enhancement Potion: Effect is to slightly increase the user's overall physique.]""[Peeping Monocle: Effect is to allow the user to peep on the life of any creature with above-average attractiveness.]"Hmm, not bad. With this monocle, Naruto could more conveniently track the progress of his mission targets.He should wait for his Shadow Clones to finish practicing Ninjutsu. His subsequent plan was to dispatch Shadow Clones to the various major Villages, replace the original characters, and then make contact with the original characters to complete missions.The five major Villages are Konoha, Sunagakure, Hidden Mist, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure. Among these five, Sunagakure and Hidden Mist are the weakest, but Hidden Mist has Obito, and he currently didn't want to make contact with him.Obito still bears the blood debt of killing his parents. He is not the Naruto from the original work who could forgive him. Regardless, he had taken over this body; if he didn't avenge this, he wouldn't be a worthy son. However...Obito still needs to resurrect Uchiha Madara for him first to unlock Uchiha Madara's character mission. For now, he'd send a clone to Sunagakureto test the waters.Three months later, with the powerful recovery ability of Naruto's Sage Body, the Shadow Clones successfully completed their Ninjutsu training.It was time, but which character would be good to replace? Naruto pondered, and suddenly thought of a perfect candidate.In a desert, where yellow sand stretched for ten thousand miles, the scorching sun baked the earth, and the wind whipped up sand and dust. A figure with short brown hair, wearing a black ninja outfit, was panning for gold in the desert."This damn Daimyo is cutting military spending again, forcing me, the dignified Kazekage, to pan for gold in the desert." Rasa was complaining in his heart while using Magnet Release to pan for gold.A portal slowly opened. Although Rasa was numbly panning for gold, he possessed Kage-level strength and immediately sensed it, shouting, "Who is it?"Naruto stepped slowly out of the portal, smiling at Rasa and saying, "I'm here to deliver some warmth." After speaking, he directly opened several portals beside Rasa and dropped ninety Natural Energy Bombs, "Enjoy yourself, Mr. Rasa."When Rasa launched an attack, Naruto retreated halfway behind the portal, snapped his fingers to detonate the bombs, and then retreated completely, teleporting to a distance.Naruto appeared from the portal a second time, looking at the exploding dust. He felt refreshed. The sand flying everywhere from the explosion in the desert seemed to have a better viewing effect than blowing up houses in Konoha, Naruto mused.Naruto waited for the aftermath of the explosion to dissipate and teleported back. He saw a spherical object made of gold dust at the center of the explosion. The sphere slowly dissipated, and Rasawalked out.Rasa was ragged, with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Who exactly are you, and what is your purpose?""Heh, you don't need to know my purpose. You only need to know that I am here to take your life, and that is enough." With that, Naruto instantly activated Black Hole Mode and rushed toward Rasa to fight.This Rasa had mediocre performance in the original work and no presence. He didn't expect him to be able to withstand ninety of his Natural Energy Bombs. It seems the quality of the bombs needs to be upgraded, Naruto thought to himself.To show respect, he should open the Eight Gates, Naruto thought. Then he stopped and shouted, "First Gate, Gate of Opening, Open! Second Gate, Gate of Rest, Open! Third Gate, Gate of Life, Open!" Naruto continued opening gates, raising it all the way to the Fifth Gate, Gate of Limit.Naruto felt an unprecedentedly powerful force within his body, and his confidence increased greatly. He opened a portal, instantly appeared behind Rasa, and punched directly. Rasa urgently tried to condense gold dust behind him to defend, but it was too late.Before Rasa could finish condensing his defense, Naruto's punch struck Rasa's back directly. With just one punch, the body made of gold dust exploded, splattering all over Naruto's face."[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully courting death. Assassinating...]""No way, man." Naruto was dumbfounded. That was it? Naruto wiped the fragments of Rasa off his face and fell silent for a long time. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and began to vomit, his ears buzzing, and he couldn't even hear the system's voice clearly.Recalling the impact of shattering Rasa's body and the fragments of Rasa on his face and body, a wave of bloody stench rushed into his nostrils. As a good young man from the 25th century in his previous life, it was very normal for him to be unaccustomed to killing someone for the first time.Until he had vomited almost everything in his stomach, Naruto teleported to a pond he had discovered in the Village forest to take a good bath. After washing away the blood and sand on his body, Naruto stood up, feeling the wind blowing on his naked body.His heart slowly calmed down. "All I killed was someone who was supposed to die in the original work. I just advanced the time a little. I was just a bit selfish, clearing away obstacles for my own sake."In this cold Ninja World, this was just its true form. After speaking, he formed hand seals, created a clone, opened a portal, and had the clone transform into Rasa to take over Rasa's position.After the clone left, Naruto stood in place, his gaze looking far away, the light and shadow in his eyes unclear.
