Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Uchiha Sasuke
"Naruto!" The Nine-Tails' roar echoed to the heavens.
"Got it!"
With the Nine-Tails' prompt, Naruto, standing on its head, naturally noticed the sudden appearance of several targets in the distance.
"Use Consecutive Tailed Beast Bombs!"
"Alright!"
The Nine-Tails opened its abyssal maw, and terrifying chakra rapidly converged.
Then.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~
Several Tailed Beast Bombs, like bullets, flew out consecutively, striking their targets.
Boom~~
Deafening explosions resounded.
"Rasenshuriken Max!"
In a blink of an eye, Naruto condensed a Rasenshuriken in his hand that was even larger than his entire body.
With a powerful flick.
The Rasenshuriken, imbued with wind and fire chakra, flew in an arc, precisely hitting a line of targets, and finally striking a newly appeared one.
Zzzzz~
Naruto suddenly pointed backward, and a bolt of lightning pierced through the target that flashed behind him.
Whizz~
Without even looking back, Naruto instantly condensed two more Rasenshurikens in his left and right hands, and powerfully flicked them.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
The two Rasenshurikens, containing terrifying chakra and astonishing destructive power, flew in two unbelievably curved trajectories, hitting a series of targets, and then, in an explosion, took out an entire area of targets.
"Naruto, your shuriken throwing technique is already invincible!"
"Haha, of course."
Naruto laughed heartily. Do you even understand the terror of Shuriken Grand Mastery?
"Front left! Use Super Big Tailed Beast Bomb."
"Alright!"
Boom~
After the violent explosion, fierce winds whipped at their clothes, making them flap loudly.
Looking at the increasing number of targets, Naruto roared, "Kurama, jump to the sky."
"Are we using that move?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails grew a little excited.
"Good!"
The Nine-Tails leaped with all its might, then walked on air.
After reaching a sufficient height, Naruto sprang into the air. Looking at the constantly flashing targets in that space, he formed hand signs.
As soon as the Horse seal was formed, Naruto felt the chakra within him surge instantly.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Massive amounts of chakra surged out, instantly transforming into a sea of flames that engulfed the entire space where the targets were.
Not only that.
Terrifying flames filled the sky, almost burning everything to ashes.
At this moment, it actually formed the wondrous spectacle of a sea of water below and a sea of fire above.
The Nine-Tails leaped down to catch Naruto, landing on the surface of the sea.
Even though they were far away, the Nine-Tails could still sense the terrifying temperature contained within that sea of fire in the sky.
The Nine-Tails also saw the alloy targets melting into molten iron, and it couldn't help but exclaim, "Naruto, your Fire Style is already stronger than Uchiha Madara's."
"Uchiha Madara? Is that the person you mentioned?"
"It's him!"
Recalling that person, the Nine-Tails still gritted its teeth.
Before meeting him, it was a free Tailed Beast, running happily in the sunset all day long. It was that man who started its eternal nightmare.
"Don't worry, Kurama. If I meet him, I'll teach him a good lesson for you."
Moreover, that guy also caused the death of his parents.
Uchiha Madara released the Nine-Tails on the Night of the Nine-Tails → Nine-Tails destroyed the village → His parents died protecting the village → Uchiha Madara caused the death of his parents.
Checks out.
Although the Nine-Tails didn't elaborate on the situation of the Nine-Tails' Night, Naruto had already roughly guessed it.
After all, his parents died that night.
And not only his parents, but the Fourth Hokage and a large number of Konoha shinobi also died that night.
Uchiha Madara truly bears a heavy sin.
"Hey, Kurama, let's go back."
With that, Naruto and the Nine-Tails flashed, and the boy and the fox returned to land. The Nine-Tails had already shrunk. There was a small house here, the home of the Nine-Tails and Naruto.
As soon as they returned home, the Nine-Tails went inside and took a warm roasted chicken out of the microwave.
It gestured to Naruto. After Naruto indicated he wasn't eating, it picked up the whole roasted chicken and sent it into its abyssal maw.
Crunch, crunch~
Bones, in front of the Nine-Tails, were probably less crispy than instant noodles.
Gulp~
Swallowing the roasted chicken, the Nine-Tails then grabbed a large bottle of cola and chugged it down.
"Naruto, are you really going to school tomorrow?" The Nine-Tails put down the cola bottle and asked curiously.
"Of course."
"But your strength..."
"The purpose of going to school isn't just to get stronger," Naruto said with a smile. At that moment, he remembered the Hokage Grandpa's instructions from yesterday.
"Naruto, you should go to school now. Here's your admission notice."
That day, the old man seemed more tired than usual.
Presumably, there must have been great resistance to sending a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki like him to school.
Those parents who hated him, knowing their children might become classmates with the Nine-Tails, would surely flip out.
"There are many children your age in school. You can make many friends at school."
The old man had instructed him so.
He seemed to have grown accustomed to Naruto's ordinariness, his eyes no longer possessing the brightness and hope they had a few years ago when he praised him as a genius.
He'd disappointed the old man. Before he was sure of his invincibility, he dared not become a genius.
Now, the old man seemed to simply hope that he could grow up like a normal child, which was why he sent him to school.
Unfortunately, his identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could not be changed, and the villagers' perceptions could not be changed either; he could never become a normal child.
However, he really did want to go to school and make some friends.
In his previous life, the friends he made in elementary school stayed with him until he transmigrated.
It should be the same in this life; otherwise, life would be too lonely.
"You can make very good friends at school too," Naruto said.
He smiled and glanced at the Nine-Tails, "I can bring good friends to see you and play with you. Don't make that face."
"Of course, I... I'll get roasted chicken and cola to treat them." The Nine-Tails' expression was somewhat hesitant.
"Haha, see you tonight, Kurama."
In reality, Naruto opened his eyes.
He checked the time; it was just right.
He got up, washed, and packed his things for school.
Naruto already had a plan: if he could make friends, he would; if the children were too deeply poisoned by the adults, he could also become the school bully.
Naruto had long understood these past few years.
He, Uzumaki Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, could do whatever he wanted as long as he didn't commit treason against the village.
Besides, it was just being a school bully.
Opening ceremony.
The Third Hokage was proclaiming the Will of Fire from the stage. Naruto didn't need to listen; he knew it was no different from what he heard the first time they met.
Everyone stood in front of the school gate, children in one group, parents in another.
Naruto didn't join the crowd; he sat alone on a swing at the back. He didn't even have parents, so why join the excitement?
"Now I announce, you are the new generation of Ninja Academy students."
[Ding~]
[Main Quest: Enter Ninja Academy completed]
"This damn thing, after waiting for several years, it's finally completed."
Naruto sighed inwardly. This damn game designer was truly despicable; a small main quest actually took several years to complete.
Perhaps for a game player, it was just skipping a cutscene, but he had genuinely waited for three whole years.
What a load of crap.
After class assignments, Naruto was looking at his rewards.
10 skill points, 10,000 experience points, and the title of Ninja Academy Student.
A considerable haul.
Just as he was planning how to use them, he suddenly heard a name that etched itself deep into his memory.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I like..."
Naruto sharply looked up, staring intently at the black-haired boy on the podium, his gaze like a torch.
Finally, I found you.
The protagonist!
