Chapter 6
However, by Uzumaki Naruto's generation, for some unknown reason, he was allowed to move freely.
The Anbu who appeared today finally guided everything back to "the right track."
However, the Konoha higher-ups probably didn't expect that this kid would immediately take down the Anbu sent to carry out the mission.
"Hehe! Kid... you've caused big trouble~~~!"
The Nine-Tailed's tone quickly turned gleeful; it seemed very eager to know how the Konohahigher-ups would punish its host later.
Would he be like Kushina, guarded by Anbu 24 hours a day?
Or would he fall into the hands of that old villain Danzo, and never see the light of day again?
"..."
Crack.
Ignoring the chattering Nine-Tailed, Narutoreached out and removed the shattered mask.
Yūgao Uzuki's porcelain doll-like face was revealed.
Her unadorned cheeks were very fair, making most women feel inferior.
Her naturally rosy small lips glowed with a vibrant red, making one want to kiss her.
At this moment, with her forehead severely injured, her eyes were tightly shut, and her furrowed brows indicated the pain she was enduring.
Soon, Naruto's gaze shifted left and right, sweeping over Yūgao Uzuki's exposed lotus-root-like arms.
Following that... was the slender, girlish figure accentuated by the Anbu uniform.
After briefly recalling memories from his previous life, he confirmed that at this age, Yūgao Uzuki was in her maidenhood, so it was not an exaggeration to say she was like a budding flower.
Girls in the Ninja World also matured early, both in their thoughts... and their bodies... so.
Slap.
Naruto reached out and grabbed one of Yūgao Uzuki's arms.
Then, without looking back, he walked in a certain direction.
Yūgao Uzuki, being dragged, scraped against the wooden floor, immediately emitting a faint rustling sound.
"What are you going to do?" The Nine-Tailedimmediately became curious, wondering what this kid was up to.
Looking in the direction Naruto was heading, it was towards the basement. It was usually used as a storage room, and perhaps in the future, it could serve as a secret training room. It was quite common for a Ninja's home to have such a place.
"I've thought of a solution for the 'swelling.'"
Naruto, who had originally planned to go to Konoha Hospital, had a flash of inspiration and changed his mind due to Yūgao Uzuki's intrusion.
The basement partition was opened, and Narutoslowly walked down, dragging Yūgao Uzuki.
Step after step, the stairs were illuminated by the light as the pull cord was tugged.
In the lit basement, a few bottles, jars, and sundry items were placed.
Thud.
Naruto casually tossed and released Yūgao Uzuki's arm, and she collapsed completely in the center of the secret room.
The next second, Naruto lowered his head.
"..."
A bad premonition immediately arose in the Nine-Tailed's heart.
A rustling sound immediately started.
Under the illumination of the light, Naruto's profile appeared on the side wall.
The rapidly flickering light fixture caused Naruto's shadow to sway back and forth, stretching and pulling, like the silhouette of a demon.
"The monster inside me… has grown so big…"
Naruto's murmur was clearly heard by the Nine-Tailed.
Nine-Tailed: "..."
The terrifying monster was also reflected on the wall, overlapping with Naruto's silhouette.
Naruto slowly raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on the Anbu girl who was completely unable to resist.
She lay limp on the floor, still unconscious.
In the basement, the dim yellow light continued to flicker.
On the side wall, the monster's silhouette, leaping and twitching, became increasingly ferocious.
Soon, the monster approached its prey, waiting to feast on flesh and blood, or... unleash evil.
Yūgao Uzuki's shadow swayed, sitting up from the floor.
Clearly, she couldn't move on her own while unconscious; Naruto had pulled her up with both hands.
Her silhouette quickly met the ferocious monster's, forming a gaze of mutual confrontation.
Sizzle~!
The next moment, the monster's shadow pierced through the girl's head-shadow, completely overlapping with it... Naruto: "Oh~~."
In the basement.
Naruto held the prey's head, and the sounds of the monster tearing and biting continued.
The Nine-Tailed watched this scene, remaining silent and shocked for a long time.
Everything from Naruto's birth to his current experiences flashed before its eyes like a revolving lantern.
In just an instant, the Nine-Tailed had reviewed everything.
The question it had never understood finally had an answer.
It finally understood why its own hatred had not caused any negative changes in the kid, Uzumaki Naruto.
"Hahaha! Interesting... too interesting...!"
The Nine-Tailed's ferocious growls and laughter echoed in Naruto's mind.
"Uzumaki Naruto… you were born a demon! Beneath your bright exterior, the deepest malice of humanity is hidden! To you, others are mere insects in your eyes, and this world is a playground for you to vent your evil thoughts. Hehehe! Then let me see what kind of world this Ninja World, created by the Sage of Six Paths, will become!"
Naruto: "Hmm… you stinky fox, I don't understand what you're saying at all. Anyway, I'm a good person…"
Sizzle~!
Yūgao Uzuki: "..."
Chapter Six. Freebie · Rich and Beautiful · Hyuga Hinata
Time passed.
After an unknown period, the monster's silhouette reflected on the side wall suddenly accelerated.
It finally ceased its urgent assault after a furious and continuous series of bites.
Hiss~!
Hiss, hiss, hiss...!
The shadow, which had suddenly stopped moving, maintained its current posture for a long... long time... at a certain moment.
The shadow slowly receded.
The monster, having released its malice, finally ceased its outward demands.
Slightly satisfied, it began to retreat into its host's body and fell into slumber, and everything settled... After some more time.
The unconscious Anbu girl slowly regained consciousness.
"Ugh…"
Yūgao Uzuki opened her eyes, feeling a splitting headache.
The moment her consciousness returned, she instinctively took a defensive posture and tried to get up.
However, the resistance from her body prevented her from successfully rising.
"Rope?"
Ordinary hemp ropes tied her up completely, binding her upper body and keeping her in place.
Her two slender, beautiful legs, however, were free to move and not restricted.
She suddenly felt a bit exasperated.
It wasn't until she looked up and saw the fair-faced, blond boy that her attention was abruptly diverted.
"Anbu-nee-san~, don't be nervous, I was just reckless."
Naruto extended his hand, signaling Yūgao Uzukinot to get agitated.
At this moment, he had already dragged Yūgaoback from the basement to the ground-level living room.
Yūgao gazed at the boy in front of her, whose eyes were narrowed into slits, and he looked completely harmless.
The murderous expression he had before she fainted contrasted sharply with his current demeanor.
What was going on? Was that previous appearance due to the Tailed Beast Chakra?
"I thought someone broke into the house just now…"
Naruto described while pointing at his abdomen.
"It told me that you, Anbu-nee-san, are actually an Anbu member…"
Naruto's description immediately made Yūgao Uzuki, who was listening intently, realize that this must have been a warning from the Nine-Tailed.
As a treasure of Konoha, it was perfectly reasonable for the Nine-Tailed to be very familiar with various matters, having lived in Konoha for so many years.
Soon, Naruto untied her, and Yūgao Uzuki, now free, was able to stand up.
She first checked her injuries: a slight concussion to the head, a minor sprain to the wrist... and also... "..."
Yūgao Uzuki pursed her lips a few times, feeling a strange taste in her mouth.
What did this kid do to her?
"Oh, I saw you were unconscious just now, so I fed you some milk."
Naruto's innocent expression made Yūgao Uzukibelieve him somewhat.
However, she still remained half-convinced.
And soon, her cheeks began to flush.
Because even though the child in front of her was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he was still just a child who hadn't even entered the Ninja Academy.
As an Anbu elite, she had been defeated in one encounter... This couldn't help but make Yūgao feel a strong sense of shame and defeat.
She had always been diligent in her missions and quite proud of her abilities, yet she ultimately lost to a child.
This was something she absolutely could not accept.
Therefore... she immediately, in a monotone voice, began to state the purpose of her visit: "Uzumaki Naruto... Hokage-sama instructed me to give you this month's living expenses."
After speaking, Yūgao left the scene without looking back.
