Didn’t You Hear? Compare Development!

[After half a month, you began to age rapidly. You were furious, you killed Orochimaru, and died of old age three days later...]

[You have died...]

[Simulation ended.]

[Simulation Evaluation: A beast's life. You betrayed your Master, betrayed the village, and even decided to betray your own sister, all for greater strength and eternal life. Your strength indeed became immense, even surpassing the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju, but you ultimately reaped what you sowed and faced retribution...]

[System Rating: 7]

[Reward Obtained: Level 7 Physique Enhancement]

[Reward Obtained: Reward Selection Card: Senju]

"What the heck? A Level 7 rating?"

Naruto hadn't expected this character to be so powerful.

He was even stronger than the character who sealed Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha back then.

It's just that the character had no combat performance, so Naruto didn't know about it.

The problem now was:

If Naruto chose the bloodline, would it also have side effects like the character?

[Ding~ The Bloodline Purification Agent only causes irreversible damage when used. If the host directly fuses the bloodline, they will not bear any side effects.]

"Is that so?"

"Originally, this character was the grandson of Hashirama Senju. After one use of the Bloodline Purification Agent, his strength reached Level 7. Not to mention after undergoing a second, super-evolved version of the Bloodline Purification Agent."

The strength of this bloodline was unimaginable!

"System, select bloodline."

[Ding~ Detected that the host possesses the Uzumaki bloodline. Do you wish to fuse the two bloodlines?]

Bloodline fusion?

"What is that?"

[Ding~ Bloodline Fusion: One of the functions provided by the System. It can fuse multiple different bloodlines into a single body. However, identical bloodlines can only achieve 'replacement,' not fusion.]

"Alright, let's fuse it then."

The fusion process was not as painful as Naruto had imagined. On the contrary, other than the feeling of becoming stronger, there was no other sensation.

Kurama also sensed the change in Naruto's physique. He couldn't help but ask Naruto, "Naruto Uzumaki, why have your chakra levels and strength suddenly increased so much?"

Naruto hadn't expected Kurama to be able to clearly sense his changes.

He casually replied, "How would I know?"

Kurama: "..."

Damn it, you won't even bother to make up an excuse, will you?

But it was fine this way.

Kurama said to Naruto, "With your current growth rate, it won't be long before you can extract me."

"Mhm, I won't go back on my word," Naruto assured Kurama again.

Kekkei Genkai were magical things.

They allowed the user to independently control the nature transformation of their chakra.

Once the nature transformation occurred, they could use the abilities of the Kekkei Genkai.

The user only needed to train their control over the Kekkei Genkai, rather than practicing chakra nature transformation from scratch.

As the winter break was about to end.

Naruto unexpectedly discovered that he could create wood out of thin air!

In the character's simulation, the character's Wood Release awakening age should have been older than Naruto's current age.

But because Naruto had directly fused the super-powerful Senju bloodline.

This is why such a thing happened.

This could be considered an unexpected surprise.

The start of the school term.

The ninja students returned to school.

Facing classmates they hadn't seen in a long time, they were all incredibly excited.

They recounted their respective winter break experiences to each other.

But there was joy for some and sorrow for others.

As soon as Naruto arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy, he was stopped by two girls.

Sakura Haruno and Ino...

Ever since Naruto's appearance became handsome, these two had become traitors to the Sasuke faction.

Naruto is now the leader of the two top girls in the class.

"Naruto!"

Ino was the first to make a move, rushing over and wrapping her arm around Naruto's.

She giggled and said to Naruto, "Naruto, I've been looking for you for so long, I couldn't find your place. We're definitely going home tonight, can you write it down for me~"

Sakura Haruno, her small face displeased, pulled Ino away. "Ino, don't be like this, it'll make things difficult for Naruto."

Naruto took a couple of steps back and asked them, "You guys have heard about that, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno's emerald green eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

"We heard..." Sakura Haruno said with a sad little face, "Wuwuwu~ Why, Naruto? I'm the one who truly likes you."

Ino's reaction wasn't as strong. She cupped her cheeks and said, "A hero saving a damsel in distress~ It actually happened in real life, isn't that romantic?"

I don't know what Ino was fantasizing about.

Her face was flushed, and she kept shaking her head.

Naruto's lips twitched when he saw that they knew about him and Hinata, yet they were still pestering him.

These two are perverts!

He quickly moved away from them.

It was the first day of school.

Iruka announced the Ninja Academy's activities as usual: "Today, everyone will review some theoretical knowledge. Tomorrow morning, gather at the training grounds. We're going to participate in a Survival Exercise."

The Survival Exercise was an old activity at the Ninja Academy.

Basically, starting from the third grade, it was held once at the beginning of each semester.

The news of the Survival Exercise was released.

The students below began to form cliques.

This was because the Survival Exercise was done in teams of three.

If you could find reliable teammates, you could fare better~

Iruka also specifically set aside time for the students to form teams freely...

Hinata subconsciously cast her gaze towards Naruto in the corner.

Meanwhile, Naruto...

His situation was similar to Sasuke's.

He was surrounded by a group of girls, chattering so much that his head was about to explode.

Naruto broke free from the group, left his seat, and sat down next to Hinata.

"Ahem~ Hinata, you don't mind me sitting here, do you?"

Naruto said shamelessly.

He sat down first, then asked.

Hinata lowered her head, a blush appearing on her crystal clear little face, and softly hummed in agreement.

This scene was witnessed by the other girls in the class.

They immediately started squealing.

"Wuwu~ It looks like the rumors between Hinata and Naruto are true!"

"Are they engaged? Why was Hinata able to do this?"

"Hinata is so amazing, so far ahead of everyone else."

Afterward, Naruto and Hinata formed a team.

Ino and Sakura Haruno exchanged glances and immediately started a fight.

"Ino Pig, Naruto and Hinata are teamed up, so there's only one spot left on their team. You know what I mean, right?"

"Of course, I know. Let's have a competition. Whoever loses, don't bother Naruto-kun anymore!"

"That's not what I meant. I'm telling you to withdraw voluntarily, so you can at least save some face."

"Damn Broad Forehead, what did you say? Do you think I'll lose to you?"

"Hmph... Ino Pig, just tell me what we're competing in?"

"We're competing in development!"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you hear? We're competing in development!"

Ino took the opportunity to puff out her slightly developed chest and proudly said to Sakura Haruno, "Broad Forehead, I didn't realize~ You have more money than Tenten?"

"To have your own airport at such a young age, it's truly enviable~"

Sakura Haruno: "???"
