Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too tsundere

Another brat? You mean Satsuki… Naruto immediately understood the reason: Kurama's hatred for the Uchiha clan was deeply ingrained. After all, the source of its sealing was Madara Uchiha, who controlled Kurama to fight the First Hokage.

However, it's impossible to stay away from Zuoyue. She's currently the "sugar daddy" with the highest bond points, and her affection level is surprisingly easy to raise.

He leveled up twice this afternoon, causing his system points to skyrocket. However, he still needs to find a way to coax... no, persuade this arrogant big fox in front of him.

"Stay away from another brat? You mean Satsuki? Why? That kid is so likable, isn't he?"

The nine-tailed fox thrashed its tail in frustration. "Why so many questions? I told you to stay away, so stay away!"

"...Kurama, are you jealous?" Naruto covered his mouth. "I didn't realize you cared about me so much."

"What?!" Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly raised its head. "Don't be so arrogant! You brat! How could I possibly be jealous!" It bared its teeth angrily, and all nine of its tails stood up like bristles.

"Haha, just kidding~ Don't get excited, don't get excited~" Naruto quickly waved his hand to calm Kurama down, watching Kurama angrily lie down again.

After the fox calmed down a bit, Naruto finally spoke. "Big fox, I never thought someone would tell me to voluntarily distance myself from others..."

"There's nothing strange about this."

Naruto stared directly into Kurama's eyes. "Perhaps it's because...in the village, everyone tells their children to stay away from me."

These words caused Kurama's tail to freeze in mid-air for a moment. After a long silence, Naruto smiled and said, "Sorry, Kurama, I can't agree to this condition."

He patted his chest. "Because that guy is my first friend! It's the first time I've ever made a friend!"

Kurama turned its face away, refusing to look at Naruto. It knew perfectly well why this brat was ostracized by the entire village—the reason was itself, the "calamity" sealed within Naruto. Now, was it going to sever this brat's ties with his only friend?

Although he didn't fully trust Naruto yet, Kurama convinced himself with his proud dignity: "Oh well, he's just an Uchiha brat who doesn't even have a Sharingan. I'll just consider it...giving this kid some charity."

Soon, Naruto's lively voice rang out again: "Oh right, Kurama! Today I'm going to continue that story! Last time we talked about Xiao Huohuo at the auction..."

Naruto was enthusiastically recounting the adapted version of "Battle Through the Heavens." Although Kurama still had its back to Naruto, its erect ears and occasional tail sway revealed that it was actually listening very attentively.

------

Night had fallen. Inside the sealed space, Naruto stretched lazily, a satisfied smile on his face. "Alright, Kurama, it's late. I had a great time chatting with you. I'm going back to sleep now."

Nine-Tails' ears twitched involuntarily. Leaving so soon? It actually wanted to hear another chapter of the story, but proud as it was, how could it possibly ask this brat to stay? That would be tantamount to admitting it was captivated by the story!

"If you're going to leave, then leave quickly." Nine-Tailed Fox turned its head away, feigning indifference.

Just then, Naruto suddenly pulled something mysteriously from his pocket. "Oh, right, this is for you. I researched it for a long time before bringing it in, so please accept it gratefully~"

"What? Kid, I don't need to—" Nine-Tails turned his head impatiently, but his words stopped abruptly.

Naruto was carefully slipping a book through a gap in the iron fence. In the sealed space, a spiritual world purely composed of chakra, the ability to materialize a physical object required incredibly precise chakra manipulation skills!

On the cover of the book, the words "Battle Through the Heavens, Volume 1" are neatly written. Inside, the contents are all handwritten by Naruto, his handwriting is childish but very neat, and there are also cute little illustrations in some places.

Nine-Tails was at a loss for words.

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly. "Sorry, I can't stay with you all the time. It must be boring being here all alone with nothing to do, right?" He pointed to the book. "If you're bored, read this to pass the time."

Naruto watched as Kurama carefully curled the book up with its tail, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his face. It seems my research wasn't in vain...

Why can objects from the real world be brought into this spiritual space? The principle is actually quite simple—half of the chakra body is the manifestation of spiritual energy, and the sealed space, from a certain perspective, is a reflection of Naruto's inner world.

In the real world, he wrapped the book in chakra, memorized its shape and structure, and then perfectly reconstructed it in the sealed space using chakra, creating a physical version of a "shadow clone." Of course, this copy is still essentially made of chakra; if it were food, it wouldn't even have a taste.

The Nine-Tailed Fox lowered its head, gazing at the book in its paws, its eyes flickering slightly. This was the first time it had received a gift... The last time it had felt such pure kindness was when the Sage of Six Paths was still alive.

Suddenly, to Naruto's astonishment, the Nine-Tails' enormous body began to shrink, eventually becoming only the size of a large dog. It used its front paws to turn the pages of the book and actually began to read.

So the Nine-Tails can control its size? Naruto's eyes widened. A body made entirely of chakra is definitely convenient...

Noticing Naruto's burning gaze, the shrunken Kurama looked up. "Hey, kid, what kind of look is that?"

There was a strange longing in his eyes—like the irresistible urge to touch something cute. The little Nine-Tails was fluffy now, and its ears would twitch from time to time. Naruto suppressed the urge to pet it and coughed lightly.

"Nothing... By the way, do you like this gift?" He deliberately changed the subject, his blue eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I spent a long time figuring out how to bring the book in."

Kurama was about to say something arrogant as usual, but it suddenly stopped when it saw Naruto's expectant eyes. This kid... he's only three years old. It realized that the child in front of it genuinely wanted to make it happy, and had even developed this chakra application technique on his own.

After a long silence, the Nine-Tailed Fox awkwardly turned its face away. "...Hmph, not bad. I'll reluctantly accept it." It gently turned the pages with its paw, then added, "But don't get too cocky."

Naruto couldn't help but laugh at Kurama's contradictory behavior: "Yes, yes, yes~ I'm going back to sleep now! See you tomorrow, Kurama~"

Before leaving the sealed space, he looked back one last time—the little nine-tailed fox was completely absorbed in the story, its fluffy tail swaying gently involuntarily, sweeping a fan-shaped pattern across the damp ground.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host: You have established a bond with the original character "Nine Lama" (Level 2)]

[Reward: 400 points!]

Chapter 19 The Art of Flying Thunder God

Naruto lay on his bed, opening the system interface with anticipation—2700 points! This enormous number instantly made him feel that all his hard work was worthwhile.

After getting along well with Kurama... Naruto secretly vowed that the first thing he would do was to give that cute little Kurama a good rub!

Now, it's time to reap the rewards of your hard work. A chance for 20 consecutive draws is before you; who knows, you might even get a legendary rarity reward. Naruto didn't hesitate to press the 10-draw button, and the system interface immediately shone with dazzling light.

Ten faintly glowing cards were arranged in front of him. Naruto rubbed his hands together and excitedly clicked on the first card.

Congratulations on obtaining: Chakra +5

Congratulations on receiving: 100,000 taels (the universal currency of the Naruto world)

Just as he opened the third card, the system suddenly burst out with a dazzling purple light!

"epic!"

Naruto's spirits lifted. Was he having such good luck today? He got a purple item on his third try? He eagerly looked at the reward details.

Congratulations on obtaining: King Kong Lockdown

[Item Description: Quality - Epic. A unique ability of the Uzumaki clan, it allows multiple chakra chains to extend from the back when used. These chains can be used not only as powerful offensive weapons but also to create barriers and seal tailed beasts.]

The Adamantine Sealing Chains?! Isn't that his mother's specialty? The image of Kushina using chakra chains to suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra extraction in the original work flashed through his mind.

With this ability, not only will their strength increase significantly, but more importantly—it might become the key to establishing trust with Kurama (the Nine-Tails). The power to seal the tailed beasts could also... make the tailed beasts more comfortable during the sealing period.

The technique that both Mom and Karin can use... Naruto gently stroked his golden hair. Why didn't I awaken this ability in the original work? Was it because I only had half of the Uzumaki bloodline and it wasn't pure enough?

His blond hair was completely different from the Uzumaki clan's signature red hair. Perhaps this was proof of bloodline dilution? But then he thought of Nagato, the Akatsuki leader who also possessed the Uzumaki bloodline but had never displayed the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

However, Nagato has the Rinnegan... and with a sealing technique of the level of Chibaku Tensei, he probably wouldn't care about the Adamantine Sealing Chains.

Shaking off these thoughts, Naruto continued clicking on the remaining cards. The system interface flashed repeatedly.

Congratulations on obtaining: 100 Explosive Tags

[Congratulations on obtaining: Basic Physical Skill Enhancement!]

Congratulations on winning: Icha Icha Paradise (Limited Collector's Edition with Signature)

...Could something strange have gotten mixed in? Naruto stared at the card that was glowing pink.

The card prominently featured the cover of Jiraiya's famous "Little Liu Bei" book, with a flamboyant signature in the lower right corner. The system also thoughtfully added the words "Limited Collector's Edition" in large print.

Damn it... This doesn't fit my character at all... Oh well, I'll keep it and give it to Kakashi later.

Naruto put the embarrassing card out of his mind and quickly tapped the remaining four cards, trying to distract himself with other rewards.

The system interface flashed with new lights one after another.

Congratulations on obtaining: Chakra +5

Congratulations on receiving: Weapon Gift Pack (containing kunai, shuriken, and short sword)

[Congratulations on obtaining: Water Release Chakra Adaptation and Mastery of Nature Transformation!]

Naruto's eyes lit up. Here we go again? Last time it was fire style, this time water style? If he could collect all the styles in the future, wouldn't he be able to become a five-element ninja like the Third Hokage?

Just as he was happily imagining the future, the last card suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light!

"epic!"

The system notification made Naruto's breath catch in his throat. Another epic reward?! He eagerly looked at the reward details—every epic reward meant a qualitative leap, what would it be this time?

[Congratulations on obtaining: Mastery of the Spiral Wheel Ninjutsu!]

[Item Description: The Dark Mirror Ninjutsu of the Rasengan, infused with the Nine-Tails' chakra, possesses terrifying power capable of causing spatial collapse.]

Naruto's eyes widened in shock. Good heavens! He mastered a high-level ninjutsu without any training?

As a technique limited to the theatrical version, the original work provides very little description of the Rasengan. Dark Rasengan? He carefully recalled the details. So it requires the fusion of the Nine-Tails' chakra to unleash its true power? No wonder its destructive power is so exaggerated; it turns out it references the principle of the Tailed Beast Ball!

It seems the system is guiding me down the path of developing a vortex-like, hemp-like appearance.

However, Naruto had no objection to this development direction. But compared to the incredibly destructive Spiral Wheel, he was more envious of Menma's other signature ability—Nine-Faced Suvaha.

Those nine summoning beasts, each possessed strength comparable to an elite Jonin... For Naruto, who hadn't yet reached his full potential, that was his strongest weapon.

Aside from that embarrassing little Liu Bei book, the gains this time far exceeded expectations. Naruto didn't hesitate to click on the ten-pull button again—saving it for later? What a joke! Now is a crucial period for rapid development; the faster the strength increases, the better!

The system lights flashed, and new rewards unfolded one by one.

Congratulations on obtaining: Sealing Technique Talent +10%

Naruto's eyes lit up. This was an unexpected delight, especially when combined with the Adamantine Sealing Chains he had just acquired...

Congratulations on obtaining: 10 Flying Thunder God Kunai (without any special techniques)

Even this?! He carefully examined the ten specially made kunai that appeared in the system space. Although the Flying Thunder God Technique formula was not yet engraved on the sharp blades, the material and shape were exactly the same as those in his anime memories.

It seems the system not only wants me to follow the path of Menma, but also wants me to inherit my father's mantle... However, the Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed overpowered, and the scroll of this ninjutsu is in Konoha! He secretly plotted in his heart that if he could draw the space-time ninjutsu talent later, he would definitely get his hands on the Flying Thunder God Technique!

The system interface kept flashing with light, and a series of useful rewards appeared one after another.

[Congratulations on obtaining: Lightning Release Chakra Adaptability and Mastery of Nature Transformation]

That's great! With the addition of the water and fire attributes, you now have mastered three attributes.

Congratulations on obtaining: Chakra +5

Congratulations on obtaining: 500 grams of Chakra Metal

Congratulations on obtaining: Sealing Technique Talent +10%

While these rewards weren't exactly phenomenal, they were all quite useful. Just as Naruto was about to continue, the system suddenly erupted with an unprecedented golden light!

"legend!"

A gold reward?! Naruto sat bolt upright. A legendary reward?! Boys who smile a lot always seem to have good luck!

Countless possibilities flashed through my mind in an instant—the Mangekyou Sharingan? Wood Release? Or...

Congratulations on obtaining: Flying Thunder God Technique (Fully Mastered)

[Item Description: An S-rank space-time ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, belonging to the Body Flicker Technique. It achieves instantaneous teleportation using a seal. The user leaves a Flying Thunder God seal on the target beforehand, allowing the user or any object indirectly in contact with the user's chakra to teleport instantly. Once marked, the seal cannot be erased. The user can teleport large targets multiple times when their energy is high. This technique can be used for offense, shortening the range of long-range ninjutsu, disrupting and ambushing opponents, and repositioning targets. It can also be used for evasion and escape in emergencies. No hand seals are required to activate.]

The words unfolded before his eyes, and Naruto's breath almost stopped. Flying Thunder God Technique? And a fully mastered version?! Although it wasn't the Rinnegan he'd been most looking forward to, this surprise still nearly made him jump out of bed. Completely mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique at the age of three?

The immense wealth came too suddenly!

Countless tactical combinations have already appeared in his mind—combining with Shadow Clone Jutsu, Rasengan, and the newly acquired Spiral Wheel... Each combination would increase his combat power exponentially.

Before the joy had subsided, the last card suddenly burst into a dazzling purple light!

"epic!"

Another purple reward?! Naruto exclaimed in disbelief at his incredible luck today! He eagerly looked at the reward details, but froze on the spot the moment he saw the words—

Congratulations on obtaining: Reincarnation of Self

[Item Description: Sand Village Forbidden Technique. This technique converts the caster's entire chakra into life force and transfers it to the recipient, thus sacrificing oneself to revive the dead or heal the dying.]

Chapter 20 Laying a Solid Foundation

In the corridors of the Hokage Building, the ninjas glanced sideways, scrutinizing the small, blond figure with strange looks. This was no place for a child, but what was even more surprising was that while their gazes held distance and wariness, they lacked the usual disgust.

Inside the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was reviewing documents while smoking a pipe. Since his wife's death, no one had advised him to quit smoking.

His thoughts drifted to the surveillance report presented by the Anbu last night—the conversation between the child and the Uchiha clan's daughter, their remarks about "talent" and "path"...

Is that really something a three-year-old could say? That understanding of ninja skills, that emotional intelligence far beyond his years...

Was it because of long-term isolation that he had to mature early?

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a childish voice broke the silence.

"Thanks, ninja uncle! The Third Hokage won't punish you; he's not that petty~"
