Chapter 2
Chapter 2: The Beautiful Uchiha.
Years ago, the seal set by the Fourth Hokageshowed its first 'loosening' in the Nine-Tailed's eyes.
Of course.
This loosening was merely a sliver of its true, inherent power leaking from the edge of the seal.
When the orange Tailed Beast power enveloped the young Naruto in the mental space, the Nine-Tailed grinned, unable to suppress its expression of ecstasy.
Everything has a beginning; one cannot become fat with a single bite.
But the Nine-Tailed knew that once a corner of the seal was torn, its own escape would only be a matter of time.
So, what would happen next? Would this brat lose his self-awareness and go berserk due to the infusion of its power, or would he be directly devoured by it?
In the real world… Naruto, sitting on the terrace, suddenly opened his eyes.
His originally sky-blue eyes were now stained crimson, even transforming into the vertical pupils of a fox.
This caused a drastic change in Naruto's demeanor.
His once somewhat naive and innocent face now held a hint of ferocity.
Thud.
Getting up from the ground, Naruto's gaze swept over the terrace, looking out at the distant Konohascenery.
An abundant, alien Chakra was continuously flowing out from the edges of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style on his abdomen.
Chakra is the root of all things, and the foundation of power.
In this world, the more Chakra one possesses, the stronger one is.
Under the Nine-Tailed's expectant gaze, Narutoleaped up, dropping directly to the ground from the 7-8 meter tall building.
Whoosh.
After landing steadily, Naruto began to move, quickly heading to the small grove where he often trained.
This peaceful place, marked with targets and wooden stakes, was Naruto's private paradise; he used to practice Taijutsu here.
Facing the wooden stakes that, in the past, only bore a few marks after hundreds or thousands of punches, this time… the outcome would be completely different.
Bang!
His small, tender fist struck out, and the wooden stake instantly exploded as if hit by a large-caliber firearm, sending splinters flying.
"..."
Watching this scene, Naruto nodded with satisfaction.
Then, Naruto punched and kicked, continuously practicing his Taijutsu in the small grove.
Each clumsy movement triggered a huge roar and destructive force.
This was the potential of a Jinchuriki empowered by the Nine-Tailed's strength.
However, all of this was completely unacceptable to the Nine-Tailed.
Nine-Tailed: "This brat… he didn't go berserk?!"
Directly receiving its unfiltered Chakra, which contained its negative emotions of hatred towards humans, this brat was not affected in the slightest!?
"How is this possible…"
The Nine-Tailed couldn't help but groan.
Even the previous Jinchuriki, Kushina, who possessed a complete Uzumaki bloodline, had experienced going berserk because she couldn't withstand the negative emotions carried within its Chakra.
Is it due to the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style's effect?!
Completely bewildered, the Nine-Tailed could only stare, watching this brat train his clumsy so-called Taijutsu.
"Phew…"
The morning quickly passed.
Naruto wiped his sweat and went to bathe in the nearby small river.
"I'm so hungry, it's time to go back…"
Under the Nine-Tailed's still disbelieving gaze, Naruto, with his eyes still maintaining their crimson vertical pupils, walked step by step on his way home… In the following days.
Naruto continued to adapt to the Nine-Tailed's power.
Under the Nine-Tailed's increasingly shocked, then bewildered, and finally regretful gaze, Naruto's strength also grew steadily.
He could kick apart a tree of ordinary diameter with one kick, and destroy a roadside stone the size of a clay pot with one punch.
No matter how it looked at it, the Nine-Tailed felt that this brat had taken advantage of it, getting free Chakra.
However, as time passed, the opportunity the Nine-Tailed awaited finally arrived.
"Mm."
Early one morning, Naruto found it hard to sleep.
Constantly borrowing the Nine-Tailed's power not only brought powerful performance but also meant extremely vigorous energy.
No matter how tired he was the day before, a short rest would immediately restore him to the most perfect state due to the continuous healing of the Nine-Tailed Chakra.
However, excessive immersion in the Nine-Tailed's Chakra, especially the 'vigorous life force' it represented, would ultimately bring unpredictable negative changes, especially… for a very young human child adapting to this power 24 hours a day without interruption… Standing in front of the mirror, compared to last month, Naruto's physique had already undergone slight changes.
His eyes were still the crimson vertical pupils of a fox, and his body had become somewhat more solid.
Moreover.
"It's so swollen…"
Naruto looked at a certain part of his body that was throbbing; at such a young age, he was already extraordinarily gifted.
In this aspect, compared to other parts of his body, there was an astonishing growth.
"Why did it become like this?"
Naruto felt that he might be sick.
He had also asked the tenant in his body during this period, but the other party seemed unwilling to explain the situation.
"Maybe it doesn't know either…"
In any case, Naruto, uncomfortable with the swelling, decided to go out for a walk.
Whether to see a doctor or to stretch his muscles and stimulate blood circulation, it was time to go out for a stroll… In a corner outside the Uchiha Clan Compound in Konoha, in an alley next to a shop.
Three children were surrounding one child.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that besides her finely sculpted face, she had the very conspicuous Uchiha Clan crest on her clothes.
"Is there something you three want?"
She looked up at the three children her age.
Her delicate face inherited the characteristics of the Uchiha Clan.
At this age, she also carried the label of "extremely cute."
Just making eye contact with her would make one feel a sense of inferiority, of being outdone.
The three ordinary-looking, somewhat fierce children immediately pointed at her and said, "It was your Uchiha people who summoned the Nine-Tailed, wasn't it! How dare you still swagger around on the streets!"
The Nine-Tailed Demon Foxs Attack years ago caused unimaginable pain to Konoha and its Ninjaand residents.
Rumors circulated in the Village that the Uchihahad summoned the Nine-Tailed.
"My brother was killed by the demon fox back then!"
"The Uchiha are everyone's enemies!"
The three children began their abusive accusations.
She, who had originally been composed, immediately became furious upon hearing the slanders from her peers.
"Unstable lower body, weak arms…"
As an Uchiha, and the child of a Police Forcecaptain.
Having trained with her brother since childhood, she could tell at a glance that these three peers were good-for-nothings.
For a proud Uchiha, dealing with the three of them wouldn't be a trivial matter, would it?
However, the consequences that would follow would inevitably bring trouble to her parents, and even to the clan.
So… she looked up, starting to glance around.
This was a small alley, where the sun's rays didn't reach; if no one noticed… "Hmm?!"
Suddenly, a strange expression appeared on her face.
The three peers, still muttering curses, did not notice the change in the situation.
"Bullying people is wrong~." A simple-minded voice sounded from behind.
"!"
The three mischievous children turned around in alarm.
They saw that the person was wearing a rather rustic orange short-sleeved tracksuit, and his golden hair was messy.
He looked quite simple-minded, no matter how you looked at him.
However, two needle-like red glows were shining from his crimson vertical pupils.
Besides that, a ferocious aura seemed to emanate from his body.
Two seconds later, the three children's foreheads were already sweating, and they were even trembling.
"Don't move around."
The Uchiha girl, however, curled her lips, watching calmly from the side.
"This guy isn't someone you three can handle…"
"Shut up! You hateful Uchiha!"
The leading mischievous child, enraged and humiliated, turned his head and cursed at the former.
However, the moment he turned back—
Snap.
Naruto reached out, and his cold fingers had already pinched his face.
Crack… crack… The fingers, contracting like iron tongs, made the child's skull emit a grating sound.
"W-w-w…"
Excessive fear left everyone frozen in place.
Bang!
The next second, the mischievous child whose cheek was pinched was flung away.
—As easily as discarding a trash bag.
"!!??"
Watching their companion immediately fly from one end of the alley to the other, the remaining two were terrified.
However, as Naruto made his move, the two didn't even have time to utter a sound before they received the same treatment.
