Naruto, born from the world of his parents.

Chapter 40: The First Encounter with the Nine-Tails

"It's all your fault, Naruto!"

Sakura, who had been chattering away the whole way but hadn't received a single reply from Sasuke, turned to Naruto and complained.

"What?"

Naruto, who was constantly communicating with Kurama in his mind, was taken aback by Sakura's words and asked in confusion.

Seeing Naruto's puzzled expression, Sakura's eyes were full of disdain: "Hmph, what's the use of pretending to be stupid? If you weren't jealous of Sasuke, why would Sasuke be angry?!"

"etc?"

Naruto grew increasingly confused. He looked at Sakura and asked, "Why am I jealous of Sasuke?"

Seeing Naruto's completely clueless expression, Sakura became even angrier. She clenched her fists, but to maintain a ladylike demeanor in front of Sasuke, she forcibly suppressed her anger and walked to Naruto's side, gritting her teeth and whispering, "If you hadn't been there saying things that Sasuke was completely confused about, why would Sasuke be angry!"

amount.

Naruto was speechless at Sakura's answer; he simply couldn't understand how the two Sakuras from different worlds could be so different.

In his world, Sakura may also like Sasuke, but it shouldn't be to such an indiscriminate degree, right?

But there were more important things to do, so Naruto said to Sakura perfunctorily, "Sorry, sorry, it was my fault. I'll apologize to Sasuke after I rest for a while."

That's more or less.

Seeing that Naruto was so sensible, Sakura's anger subsided considerably. Since Sasuke didn't want to talk, she was willing to chat with Naruto for a bit.

"Hey, Naruto, what have you guys been doing in the village all this time?"

"train."

This brief, somewhat perfunctory answer reignited the anger that had been building up in Sakura's heart.

For the same reason, and wanting to impress Sasuke, Sakura suppressed her anger and even put on a smiling face: "Oh? Training? What kind of training?"

"Ninjutsu training."

Upon hearing this answer, Sakura's forehead veins bulged, her eyes narrowed, and she began to roar like a mad dog in her heart.

"Aaaaaaaah! What the hell is this damn guy pretending to be?!"

"What can a loser train with Sasuke for?!"

"He's shamelessly clinging to Sasuke, yet he acts like he looks down on him! Children without parents are disgusting!!!"

Sakura clenched her fists tightly, roaring inwardly.

Although being ignored by Sasuke made her a little uncomfortable, Sasuke had always been like this, so she could actually accept it.

What really annoyed her was Naruto's perfunctory attitude.

"No, what gives him the right?!"

You have to understand that from childhood to adulthood, Naruto has always been the one who shamelessly clung to her. No matter how much she scolded him, Naruto would patiently express his love for her.

As long as he occasionally smiles at Naruto, no matter how harsh the words he says, this heartless guy will continue to grin foolishly.

Not to mention that she took the initiative to talk to Naruto.

In Sakura's memory, something like this might not happen even once every ten or twenty days, but now this damn guy actually dares to brush her off!

Sakura's intense anger made her subconsciously ignore Naruto's recent changes, or rather, her almost ingrained stereotype of Naruto made her see his recent changes as nothing more than another bout of madness.

Under such intense emotional turmoil, Sakura could no longer control herself, and she raised her fist and slammed it hard into Naruto's head.

Sakura had done this countless times, but this time, the fist did not bring the pain of hitting her head as it usually did.

Sakura looked up, staring blankly at her hand, which was held tightly in mid-air by Naruto, and didn't react for a moment.

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing this merciless question, Sakura's anger completely consumed her last shred of reason. She raised her other fist again, but just as she was about to throw it, she saw Naruto's eyes.

A pair of vertical pupils, like those of a beast, were staring at her without any emotion.

The coldness emanating from those eyes instantly brought Sakura back to her senses.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Naruto's signature smile was gone, replaced by coldness.

Sensing something was wrong, Kakashi turned around and saw red chakra emanating from around Naruto.

"The seal on the Nine-Tails!"

Kakashi's heart tightened, and he was about to rush to Naruto's side when he discovered that the red chakra had disappeared.

"Sorry, Sakura."

Having regained his senses from the Nine-Tails' undisguised malice, Naruto offered Sakura his hand.

This loss of support caused Sakura to fall to the ground with a thud.

Naruto rubbed his temples. His mind was in turmoil due to the negative emotions surrounding Kurama, and he didn't care about manners at the moment. He simply looked down at Sakura and said softly, "Please be quiet."

After saying that, he nodded to Kakashi and Sasuke, who was looking at him with concern, and strode forward.

Tazner picked his nose, somewhat bored, regretting that he hadn't seen a good show.

Seeing Naruto leave, Sasuke didn't linger and chased after him.

Kakashi remained where he was, glancing at Sakura Haruno. Seeing that she showed no sign of getting up, he said nothing more, but secretly made a mental note of it.

"Sakura Haruno has a very low tolerance for stress."

He then turned and left.

Although Kakashi is someone who values ​​subordinates and comrades, the prerequisite for being a comrade is being a team of ninjas.

Sakura Haruno's reaction of being terrified by Naruto's single glance made him begin to doubt whether this girl was truly capable of being a ninja.

"Naruto, what happened to that woman?"

Hearing Sasuke's concerned inquiry, Naruto forced a smile: "Let me apologize to you."

Sasuke was completely taken aback that he was involved in this situation, and his eyes widened: "Me? What's going on?"

"I think I made you angry when I said you were lying before."

Sasuke couldn't quite grasp this train of thought: "What does that have to do with her?"

Seeing the clear confusion in Sasuke's eyes, Naruto smiled and casually replied, "Who knows?"

After saying that, he stopped talking and walked away on his own.

As he walked, he whispered to himself, "Can you hear me, Kurama?"

"Who told you that name?!"

A roar filled with intense rage echoed in Naruto's mind, and the boundless malice contained in the roar even made Naruto's brain dazed for a moment.

He shook his head to clear his head: "Just as Kurama said, Kurama is an easily angered fox."

These words startled Nine-Tails for a moment, then it asked, somewhat bewildered, "What nonsense are you spouting, you brat?"

Hearing the voice he had heard since childhood, Naruto smiled happily. Although it wasn't Kurama inside his mother, Naruto could still vaguely sense his mother's presence.

"Nine Lama, would you like to hear a story from me?"
