[After the Great Ninja War ended, Kakashi fell into severe depression, while you continued researching ninjutsu and improving your strength.] [You performed outstandingly in the Great Ninja War and were promoted by Hiruzen Sarutobi to Shadow Guard. You and Minato Namikaze were hailed as Konoha Heroes.] [Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, and Shimura Danzō competed for the position of Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi asked for your opinion.] [Your choice was...]
"Of course I recommended Minato. What kind of crooked rejects were those other two?"
[You recommended Minato Namikaze to Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, because that was what he thought as well.] [After the competition, Minato Namikaze became Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped behind the scenes, and you became Minato Namikaze's Shadow Guard.] [Several years later, Minato Namikaze married Kushina. A few months afterward, Minato Namikaze noticed Kakashi's depression and assigned him to protect the pregnant Kushina, hoping he would understand the meaning of life.] [Minato Namikaze stripped you of your position as Shadow Guard. He selected several Anbu members as Shadow Guards and taught them the Flying Thunder God Technique.] [You were promoted by Minato Namikaze to Head of Anbu.]
This should be the Nine-Tails invasion arc, right?
What a shame. This character wasn't a transmigrator, or he definitely would've prepared in advance.
[Several months later, Hiruzen Sarutobi's wife was responsible for delivering Kushina's baby, but they were attacked by the Masked Man...] [Minato Namikaze and you arrived at the scene one after the other, but it was already too late. The Nine-Tails had been released.] [Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Namikaze resisted the Nine-Tails, but their efforts had little effect.] [You used an improved Uzumaki Clan sealing technique to seal the enraged Nine-Tails.] [Minato Namikaze decided to seal the Nine-Tails inside himself, but Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped him. After the three of you discussed it, you decided to seal the Nine-Tails inside yourself. As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, you possessed more Chakra to suppress the tailed beast. You agreed.] [You became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The Masked Man attacked again. Hiruzen Sarutobi was old and frail, in poor condition, so you and Minato Namikaze faced the Masked Man.] [The Masked Man was driven back, but at midnight that same day, the village was attacked once more by a ninja revived through Impure World Reincarnation. He claimed to be Madara Uchiha.] [Minato Namikaze used the Reaper Death Seal, but failed to seal Madara Uchiha in his Impure World Reincarnation state. He himself was instead drawn into the Reaper's stomach.] [Hiruzen Sarutobi was near death. You reached an agreement with the Nine-Tails and used the Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique with the Nine-Tails' power. In the end, you paid a terrible price to seal Madara Uchiha.] [After the battle, Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to power. Knowing you did not have long to live, you resealed the Nine-Tails inside Kushina. You died...] [Many years later, you were revived through Impure World Reincarnation during a certain Chunin Exams.] [You broke free from the Impure World Reincarnation and used an Uzumaki secret technique to seal Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju in their Impure World Reincarnation states. Orochimaru was nearly slain by you. Your soul returned to the Pure Land...] [Simulation complete.] [Simulation Evaluation: You spent your entire life improving your strength and fighting. You were undeniably a battle maniac. At your peak, your Combat Power was among the strongest of the era. You were Konoha's hero, a top-tier Konoha powerhouse whose achievements surpassed Minato Namikaze's. With the Nine-Tails' help, you could even rival Madara Uchiha in his Impure World Reincarnation state. Even after death, you could continue protecting Konoha.] [System Rating: 6] [Reward Obtained: Level 6 Physique Enhancement] [Reward Selection Card Obtained: Uzumaki]
This was absolutely the strongest character Naruto had simulated so far.
Level 6 Physique Enhancement began crazily improving Naruto's body...
Not long afterward.
Naruto's body had finished being enhanced.
With a slight clench of his fist, he could feel tightly coiled power.
The Chakra within his body was refined as well, and his Uzumaki Bloodline began to show its strength.
At this point, both Naruto's Chakra intensity and quantity had reached their highest levels yet.
It felt incredible, as though his senses of the entire world had suddenly become clearer.
There was also the Reward Selection Card.
Naruto opened the System Backpack, saw the Reward Selection Card lying quietly inside, and checked its attributes.
[Reward Selection Card: Uzumaki Selectable Rewards: Uzumaki Bloodline, Sealing Technique, ninjutsu, taijutsu, Nine-Tails, combat experience...]
Although the Nine-Tails had been sealed inside Kushina when the character died.
The Reward Selection Card could still select the Nine-Tails!
However...
Naruto ultimately decided to choose the Uzumaki Bloodline.
Because he was very curious about what would happen after two Uzumaki Bloodlines fused together.
This world was, plainly put, a world of bloodlines. The stronger the bloodline, the higher one's potential strength.
But to Naruto's surprise, after choosing the bloodline, he received a system prompt.
[Ding~ Notice: The Uzumaki character's bloodline conflicts with the host's bloodline and is not as strong as the host's Uzumaki Bloodline. Would you like to choose the Uzumaki character's bloodline to overwrite the host's Uzumaki Bloodline?]
"This... never mind."
Naruto deflated in an instant.
Since he could not choose the bloodline, he could still choose something else good.
For example, the Nine-Tails.
However...
Naruto only had half of the Nine-Tails inside him.
If he added an entire Nine-Tails on top of that, wouldn't it become a complete mess?
Could he even control them?
Naruto thought for a while and decided that he should choose Sealing Techniques.
Because judging by the simulation's progress.
The character's Sealing Techniques had played an extremely crucial role in all kinds of important battles.
The character did not possess any large-scale destructive abilities.
Yet with improved Uzumaki sealing techniques, he could seal Madara, Hashirama, and Tobirama in their Impure World Reincarnation states.
That alone showed just how powerful his Sealing Techniques were.
And Sealing Techniques were exactly what Naruto needed right now.
Because Naruto had the Nine-Tails inside him.
Although Naruto had read the original story and knew the Nine-Tails would not easily go berserk.
If Naruto possessed Sealing Techniques, he would not need to worry about the Nine-Tails going berserk.
And Sealing Techniques were not weak in combat either.
After thinking it over, Naruto decided to give up the complete Nine-Tails and choose Sealing Techniques.
"System, choose Sealing Techniques."
[Ding~ Reward selection complete. Host obtained: Adamantine Sealing Chains—Improved, Eight Trigrams Sealing—Ultimate, Gate of the Great God]
Once he had chosen the rewards, three techniques appeared in Naruto's mind.
There might not have been many of them, but these techniques were not to be underestimated.
Adamantine Sealing Chains were already incredibly powerful, a terrifying Sealing Technique that combined physical force and sealing into one.
Its record was exceptionally impressive as well.
Any ninja who could use Adamantine Sealing Chains had no reason to fear tailed beasts.
Not to mention that these Adamantine Sealing Chains had been improved by the character.
The Eight Trigrams Sealing was also extremely powerful, considering it was used to seal the Nine-Tails.
The Gate of the Great God was just as absurd in the original story; it was a technique capable of sealing the Ten-Tails.
After fully receiving the Sealing Techniques into his mind, Naruto felt a wave of relief.
After all, anyone would panic with a giant fox living inside them.
Now, with Sealing Techniques in hand, he could at least guard against some accidents.
