This Nine-Tails Is Huge

First Charge Gift Pack?

Seeing the golden gift pack, Naruto subconsciously glanced at the price.

Only 10 Ryo?

Converted, that's only 1 Yuan. Is this a welfare bonus?

He had thought this item would be similar to other products, costing at least 100 Ryo.

It's only 10 Ryo, so he bought it.

[You have purchased the First Charge Gift Pack. Please check your Inventory.]

Opening the Inventory, a gift pack lay inside. This pack looked very similar in shape to the Novice Gift Pack; they looked like they were made from the same mold.

Naruto directly selected the gift pack and opened it.

[You have obtained: Three Basic Ninjutsu Techniques, High-Quality Kunai x10, High-Quality Shuriken x100]

This.

"The drop rate seems to have returned to normal."

Perhaps after the game recovered, the initial BUG disappeared?

It felt like a waste of expression.

Naruto had thought it would be like the Novice Gift Pack, with one unique item and two limited ones.

He had already prepared to celebrate.

And all he got was this?

Naruto looked at his Inventory again.

This Inventory wasn't large, with 9x9 slots, totaling space for 81 items.

However, this Inventory seemed to allow stacking.

The Kunai and Shuriken he just obtained only occupied two slots, with a small number displaying the stacked quantity.

'Are these the weapons of the ninja world?'

Seeing the two types of weapons lying in his Inventory, Naruto guessed.

The Kunai had a strange shape, looking like the tip of a spear with a handle. The other was the four-pointed throwing star style from Naruto's knowledge.

Naruto took out a Kunai and held it in his hand.

The blade was very sharp, and the handle was a bit large for his small hands.

But, wasn't the name reversed?

Naruto was a bit like the "Confused Black Person.JPG" meme right now.

This Kunai looked more like a Shuriken, didn't it?

Was it a translation issue?

Naruto put away the Shuriken... well, the Kunai. These things didn't really matter; he just needed to know what they were called.

His gaze shifted to the three scrolls in his Inventory.

These items appeared in the Inventory at the same time as the Kunai and Shuriken. He figured these must be the Three Basic Ninjutsu Techniques mentioned by the old man earlier? He had previously thought they were some kind of 'Divine Abilities,' which was why he exchanged three grilled fish for the detailed hand seal methods.

Naruto took out one of the scrolls, preparing to see if it was the same as what the old man had said.

As soon as he took it out, a prompt popped up.

[Do you wish to learn: Shadow Clone Jutsu?]

Was this a skill scroll?

Naruto decisively chose: Yes.

[You have obtained Skill: Shadow Clone Jutsu 1/100 (Beginner)]

[Your Shadow Clone Jutsu proficiency +3600]

As his proficiency increased, a large amount of knowledge and techniques flooded Naruto's mind. It felt as if he had already practiced this skill thousands, tens of thousands of times, and was intimately familiar with it.

+3600?

Ah, it was the SSSSSSS talent kicking in.

He glanced at his skills.

Shadow Clone Jutsu: 3601/5000 (Master)

"As expected."

Seeing this, Naruto chose to immediately learn the other two skills.

The SSSSSSS talent continued to work steadily.

Substitution Technique: 3601/5000 (Master)

Transformation Jutsu: 3601/5000 (Master)

Naruto felt smug looking at the three ninjutsu he had just learned.

Ninjutsu? Easy as pie!

However, these three skills didn't seem very useful.

Shadow Clone Jutsu: It creates shadows that can only confuse others, lacking physical substance and the ability to attack.

Substitution Technique: This can only be used to take hits.

Transformation Jutsu: While it can change him into other people, even if he transformed into the Hokage, his own power level would remain the same.

He took a dart from his inventory... no, a shuriken.

Naruto played with it in his hand, and then... he couldn't hold back anymore.

He had obtained a unique talent from the Novice Gift Pack, thinking it was the normal level for this game. So, he eagerly opened the game, only to find this?

Seriously, man.

It was bad enough that none of the three ninjutsu were useful, but he also had no idea how to use this little thing at all. Even if he did, so what?

Could this little dart kill anyone?

"I should have chosen C. Nine-Tails would have been pretty good too," he muttered, then suddenly remembered something.

He quickly opened his Status Panel.

Status: Yang-Nine-Tails (Sealed) (Recyclable).

In this section, the green "Recyclable" text was shining brightly.

Naruto had no idea how this "recyclable" Nine-Tails came to be.

If it was inside his body, then it was his.

He had seen it in the Shop.

That crimson, nine-tailed fox, he didn't know if it was male or female, named Nine-Tails.

Its price was 200,000 RMB, 2 million Ryo.

He had just marveled at the game's monetization and the wealth of rich players, but now he wasn't jealous anymore.

Because this money would soon be his!

200,000 RMB, 2 million Ryo. Even if the recycling price was only half, it would still be 1 million Ryo, right?

With that kind of money, he could buy every skill in the Skill House!

But.

Naruto gritted his teeth. He made a huge decision and resisted the temptation.

This stemmed from his life philosophy.

[When you are unsure of the situation, maintaining the status quo is the best choice.]

Naruto didn't know how this Nine-Tails appeared, but since it was in his body, there must be a reason.

Naruto decided not to do anything with it until he figured out the reason.

"But where exactly is this guy?"

Naruto looked all around himself but couldn't find any trace of it.

Finally, his gaze fell on his stomach.

There was a cluster of symbols there, with an unclear meaning.

Naruto had previously thought it was some kind of unknown tattoo. After learning about Fuinjutsu, he now believed it was some kind of seal.

"A seal? Is that necessary?"

He recalled the demonstration video where an animal, barely taller than wild grass and looking no bigger than a large dog, appeared. Naruto didn't understand.

Was that little thing that destructive?

"Forget it," Naruto sighed inwardly.

He knew too little about this world.

He put the shuriken back into his inventory and opened the Skill House again.

If he remembered correctly, today was April 30th.

Tomorrow, he would receive his living expenses, 30,000 Ryo. That would be enough to buy Revival Coins and several powerful ninjutsu.

By then, his safety should be assured.

Naruto closed the Skill House, looking at the four rather boring functions.

The Shop and Skill House only made him crave things he couldn't afford.

The Duel Arena couldn't be opened. According to the description, the minimum level requirement to enter was Genin.

It seemed only the Training Ground was left.

So, Naruto decided to check out the Training Ground.

Click to enter.

The loading interface popped up, presenting several options.

Map sizes ranged from 1x1, 10x10, 100x100, and a paid option of 1000x1000, with units in kilometers.

Naruto decisively chose the free, largest option: 100x100.

There were many terrain choices, and Naruto casually selected plains, islands, hills, mountains, forests, lakes, and oceans.

For the specific map, he directly chose random generation.

The next moment, his vision went black.

Then, a solid sensation came from under his feet, and his nose once again breathed in fresh air.

Naruto opened his eyes to see a plain before him, with a forest in the distance.

He turned his head; a huge lake was not far behind him. Further beyond the lake, it connected to the ocean via a large river.

"This sunlight, this air, this breeze, and this texture. What's the difference from reality?"

Naruto perceived everything in the training ground, feeling quite dazed.

If his surroundings hadn't changed, he would have thought he was still in reality.

Just as he was experiencing it further.

Roar~~~

An indescribable, enormous roar echoed.

This roar was too terrifying, startling Naruto.

He had never heard such a massive and terrifying sound.

This colossal roar seemed to transport Naruto back to his previous life.

It was the first time he had witnessed the launch of "Fat Five," the sound of the massive rocket launch, which he would never forget.

The resonance of the sound waves with the air, even from several kilometers away, still pounded against his chest in waves. It was the first time he had deeply understood that sound is a wave.

That one time, Naruto's megalophobia had flared up. If the rocket hadn't been an inanimate object, he would have turned and fled.

The equally immense sound at this moment seemed to tear the air apart, and the thunderous roar made him tremble.

Thump thump~~

The ground seemed to be shaking. Naruto knew this was the monster moving.

Then, from the other side of the forest, a colossal creature finally appeared. Behind it, nine tails swayed.

This is? The Nine-Tails?

Naruto found it hard to believe.

Was the Nine-Tails this big?

It looked pretty cool.

Why didn't this battle pet look this big in the shop earlier?

He clicked to check again.

Damn it!

He had thought the lush green things beneath the Nine-Tails in the demonstration video were grass. Now he saw they were trees.

He had been careless.

At this moment, the monster spotted Naruto and gradually walked over.
