[After half a month, you began to age rapidly. You were furious, killed Orochimaru, and died of old age three days later...] [You died...] [Simulation ended.] [Simulation evaluation: A beastly life. You betrayed your master, betrayed the village, and even chose to betray your biological sister, all to gain greater strength and immortality. Your strength was indeed formidable, even surpassing the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju. But in the end, you suffered the consequences and received your retribution...] [System Rating: 7] [Reward obtained: Level 7 Constitution Enhancement] [Reward Selection Card obtained: Senju]
"Damn? A Level 7 rating?"
Naruto had not expected this character to be so powerful.
It was actually stronger than that character from before who had sealed Madara Uchiha after his Impure World Reincarnation.
The character simply had not displayed any combat ability, so Naruto had not understood just how strong it was.
But now there was a problem.
If Naruto chose the bloodline, would he suffer the same side effects as the character?
[Ding~ The Bloodline Purification Agent only causes irreversible damage when used. If the host directly fuses with a bloodline, there will be no side effects.]
"Is that so?"
"This character was originally Hashirama Senju's grandson. After one Bloodline Purification Agent, his strength had already reached Level 7. Not to mention what happened after the second, super-evolved version of the Bloodline Purification Agent."
The strength of this bloodline was unimaginable!
"System, choose the bloodline."
[Ding~ It has been detected that the host possesses the Uzumaki Bloodline. Would you like to fuse the two bloodlines?]
Fuse bloodlines?
"What's that?"
[Ding~ Bloodline fusion: One of the functions provided by the system. It can fuse several different bloodlines into a single body. However, identical bloodlines can only replace one another, not fuse.]
"Mm, then fuse them."
The fusion process was not as painful as Naruto had imagined. On the contrary, aside from the sensation of becoming stronger, he felt nothing else.
Kurama also sensed the change in Naruto's physique and could not help asking, "Naruto Uzumaki, why has the amount and strength of your Chakra suddenly increased so much?"
Naruto had not expected Kurama to be able to so clearly sense his changes as well.
He casually replied, "How would I know?"
Kurama: "..."
Damn it, he could not even be bothered to make up an excuse?
Still, that was fine.
Kurama said to Naruto, "At your current rate of growth, it will not be long before you can pull this old man out."
"Mm, I won't go back on my word." Naruto promised Kurama again.
Kekkei Genkai were truly fascinating.
They allowed their users to independently control Chakra nature transformations.
Once they produced a nature transformation, they could use the abilities of their Kekkei Genkai.
The user only needed to train their control over the Kekkei Genkai; there was no need to start from scratch learning Chakra nature transformations.
As winter break was about to end,
Naruto unexpectedly discovered that he could create wood out of thin air!
In the character simulation, the character should have awakened Wood Release at an older age than Naruto was now.
But because Naruto had directly fused with the exceptionally powerful Senju Bloodline,
this had happened.
It counted as an unexpected surprise.
The new semester began.
The Ninja Academy students returned to school.
Faced with classmates they had not seen in a long time, they were all incredibly excited.
They told one another about their winter break experiences.
But while some rejoiced, others worried.
The moment Naruto arrived at the entrance to the Ninja Academy, he was stopped by two girls.
Sakura Haruno and Ino...
Ever since Naruto's looks had improved, these two had become traitors to Sasuke's camp.

They were now the two ringleaders of Naruto's faction among the girls in class.
"Naruto!"
Ino struck first, rushing over and wrapping Naruto's arm in her embrace.
With a grin, she said to Naruto, "Naruto, I searched for so long but couldn't find your house. We're definitely going home together tonight, so let me remember where it is, okay~?"
Sakura Haruno pulled Ino away with an unhappy look on her face. "Ino, don't do this. You'll make things difficult for Naruto."
Naruto took two steps back and asked them, "You've heard about that, right?"
At his words, disappointment appeared in Sakura Haruno's emerald-green eyes.
"We heard..." Sakura Haruno wore a miserable expression. "Boohoo~ Why, Naruto? I'm clearly the one who truly likes you."
Ino's reaction was not as intense. She held her cheeks and said, "A hero saving a beauty~ It actually happened in real life. Isn't that romantic?"
Who knew what Ino was fantasizing about.
Her face was flushed red as she continuously nodded to herself.
Seeing that they knew about him and Hinata but still kept clinging to him, Naruto's lips twitched.
These two were perverts!
He needed to get farther away from them.
While they were lost in their fantasies, Naruto slipped away.
The first day of school.
As usual, Iruka announced the Ninja Academy's activity. "Today, everyone will first review your theoretical knowledge. Tomorrow morning, gather at the training field to participate in the Survival Exercise."
The Survival Exercise was an old Ninja Academy activity.
Starting from the third year, it was generally held once at the beginning of every semester.
Once news of the Survival Exercise was announced,
the students below immediately began forming groups.
Because the Survival Exercise was conducted in teams of three.
If they found reliable teammates, they would have an easier time~
Iruka had deliberately left the students time to freely form their teams...
Hinata instinctively turned her gaze toward Naruto in the corner.
And at that moment, Naruto...
was in a situation similar to Sasuke's.
He was surrounded by a group of girls chattering away, giving him a headache.
Naruto broke free from those girls, left his seat, and sat down beside Hinata.
"Ahem~ Hinata, you don't mind if I sit here, right?"
Naruto shamelessly said this.
Because he had sat down first and only asked afterward.
Hinata lowered her head. A blush appeared on her delicate, crystal-clear face, and she softly murmured in agreement.
The other girls in class saw this scene.
They immediately went wild over it.
"Boohoo~ It looks like the rumors about Hinata and Naruto are true after all!"
"An engagement? How could Hinata pull something like that off?"
"Hinate is too powerful. She's way ahead of everyone else."
After that, Naruto and Hinata formed a team.
Ino and Sakura Haruno exchanged a glance, then immediately started fighting.
"Ino Pig, Naruto and Hinata are teaming up, so their team only has one spot left. You understand what I mean, right?"
"Of course I do. Let's compete. Whoever loses has to stop bothering Naruto-kun!"
"That's not what I mean. I'm telling you to withdraw on your own. That way, you can still save a little face."
"You hateful Broad Forehead, what did you say? You think I'd lose to you?"
"Hmph... Ino Pig, just tell me what we're competing in."
"Development!"
"Huh?"
"Didn't you hear me? Development!"
Ino thrust out her slightly budding chest, then proudly praised Sakura Haruno. "Broad Forehead, I couldn't tell~ You're even richer than Tenten?"
"Having your own airport at such a young age really makes me jealous~"
Sakura Haruno: "???"
