Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

"A purple one appeared?!"

Naruto's eyes widened suddenly. The selection chest in front of him was exactly like the selection rewards in the game, and the options inside were just as the name suggested—all of them were special items from the Naruto movie!

Naruto's gaze was fixed on the second option.

【Whirlpool Noodles (Template Trial Card x3)】

[Instructions for use: After activation, you will gain full power and abilities of Menma Uzumaki, the boss in Naruto the Movie: Road to Ninja, for 1 hour, usable 3 times]

Whirlpool-shaped surface...!

Naruto is very familiar with this character—the "dark version of Naruto Uzumaki" from the limited Tsukuyomi world. Uzumaki Menma is completely opposite to him in both personality and experience. But what is most exciting is his terrifying strength.

Nine-faced Suvaha... Great Spiral Wheel Yu...

In my memory, Menma's summoning technique "Nine-Faced Suvaha" can summon nine different summoning beasts, and his ultimate technique "Great Spiral Wheel" has the destructive power to destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village. Furthermore, the Nine-Tails resides within him, allowing him to perfectly control the power of a fully tailed beast.

His strength far surpasses that of ordinary Kage-level characters.

Based on the anime, Menma's strength is at least at the level of himself in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, or Sasuke with Mangekyou Sharingan—or even stronger!

Rather than calling it a template trial card, it's more like an ultimate trump card prepared for someone who hasn't yet grown up—most importantly, using it doesn't involve the risk of going berserk like with the Nine-Tails' chakra leak, and it has no side effects whatsoever.

As for the other two options?

Naruto frowned and thought for a moment. That so-called "Zero-Tails Dark Chakra" seemed to be an artificial tailed beast created by that guy named Shennong in the movie "Bonds". Although it sounded powerful, it was not a boost to his strength at all, but rather a complete waste of his abilities.

Dark chakra... I remember it might trigger negative emotions? ...Are you kidding me! The Nine-Tails, known as the strongest tailed beast, lives inside my body!

Instead of cultivating a good relationship with the arrogant fox that's already at home, why bother with artificial tailed beast dark chakra? It's just like...

Instead of using the top-of-the-line computer at home, they insist on going to the Time General Store to play with those big-headed computers.

The last option left Naruto speechless.

Jackal? That's probably that low-level summon from "The Will of Fire".

Naruto even suspected that the system was just filling in the numbers—this thing wasn't even Hiruko's main summoning beast, the final boss of the movie, but just a synthetic beast of one of his henchmen.

Furthermore... if Naruto chooses the trial card for Menma Uzumaki, he might be able to do some things that were originally impossible. For Naruto, who lived an unremarkable life in his previous existence, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to change some tragedies.

Death of Hizashi.

The thought flashed through his mind; this event would likely happen very soon—definitely no later than this year. Hyuga Neji's father, Hyuga Hizashi, the most tragic father of the Konoha Twelve in the original work, was about to meet his end.

Because the Third Shinobi World War had just ended, the Hidden Cloud Village sent envoys to Konoha under the pretense of "signing a peace treaty," but in reality, they were secretly plotting to seize the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan.

They even went so far as to target three-year-old Hinata Hyuga, attempting to kidnap her. However, the Hyuga clan leader, Hiashi Hyuga, discovered the kidnapping in time and killed the kidnappers.

However, what was most infuriating was the subsequent development—the Hidden Cloud Village turned the tables, threatening to wage war on the grounds that "Konoha ninjas murdered the messenger." They demanded the surrender of Hiashi Hyuga, who had killed the kidnappers. At the time, Konoha had just suffered the Nine-Tails' attack and the Third Shinobi World War, leaving it severely weakened. Ultimately, the higher-ups chose to compromise.

To keep the secret of the eye roll from being revealed.

The Hyuga main family proposed that Hiashi's twin brother, Hizashi, be the scapegoat. And Hizashi... actually accepted this fate, even saying things like "I died to protect my brother," glorifying his sacrifice as a heroic act of "rebelling against the shackles of fate."

...Without justice, without fairness, a living, breathing person was swallowed up by this world. Young Neji lost his father forever.

As for those high-sounding excuses like "for the greater good" and "to avoid war"? What about the calculations and trade-offs made by those at the top?

Naruto didn't want to try to understand. He only knew one thing: he didn't want to watch a living, breathing person be devoured by this world, nothing more.

Moreover, Neji's later tragic end...

Thinking about this, as for whether Kumogakure will actually start a war? If, after rescuing Hizashi, that Raikage dares to suspect that Konoha orchestrated it all...

Naruto wouldn't mind using the trial card again to fight the Raikage.

"System, I choose the Whirlpool Noodles Trial Card."

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Whirlpool Faceless (Template Trial Card x3)!]

This is a precious item that can temporarily elevate someone to the peak of Kage level! Naruto couldn't wait to see it. With a slight thought, a card radiating purple light slowly appeared before him.

He reached out and took the card, examining the image on it closely—wasn't this the character art for Motou Village?!

As another thought flashed through his mind, the card transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from his palm, returning to the system space.
