The Tool Girl Still Needs to Work Hard; On the Altar, She'd Rather Go to Prison

Seeing the words "failure" displayed on the panel, Naruto slumped weakly onto the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling with dead fish eyes.

"As expected, it's not that simple after all," he murmured.

I casually opened the Hydrangea panel for Quest Line III, and a 3D full-body image of Hydrangea that looked pretty weak popped up.

A purple-haired girl in martial arts attire wore a somewhat dim-witted smile, a brown cloth belt around her waist. She clutched a useless playing card in her hand, likely due to her admiration for Konan.

A naive Genin, a girl being coerced.

After watching for about a minute, he closed all the panels. He lay on the sofa for a while until he heard noises coming from the bathroom, at which point he remembered that the Hydrangea was still there.

She stood a short distance from the bathroom door, looking somewhat nervous under the warm orange light, her body steaming. She stole a glance at Naruto, wanting to say something but not daring to.

"I'm done washing," she said with her eyes closed.

Her tone was filled with despair, and waves of humiliation were rising within her. She thought to herself that even if that man wanted her to have her feet, her vagina, her genitals, and so on, she would rather go to jail.

"Oh, you're sleeping on the sofa." Naruto got up to take a shower, leaving Hydrangea standing there, unsure whether to feel relieved or heartbroken.

The good news is that she's home now and her boss isn't bothering her anymore.

The bad news is that I'm back home, but the boss is sleeping on the bed while she's sleeping on the sofa. Who understands this, family members?

Hearing the sounds coming from the bathroom, she collapsed onto the sofa with a thud, staring at the ceiling and closing her eyes, feeling somewhat lost.

The feeling of being in jail is truly indescribable.

He can still lie on the sofa now, but what about tomorrow, the day after? Will he have to go back to that place again? The "borrowing" he mentioned most likely means he has no personal freedom.

After a while of random thoughts, I fell asleep without realizing it. When I woke up again, there was a thin blanket covering me. The living room lights were off, and it was completely silent.

Hydrangea propped herself up on her elbows, trying to sit up, staring blankly at the thin blanket. Perhaps he was a good boss; everyone has two sides.

In the middle of the night, Naruto woke up in bed, thinking it over and over and decided that he still needed to upgrade his "tool" level. It seemed he wouldn't be able to stay in the Land of Rain for more than a few days; he would have to leave after extending Nagato's life.

For a long time, perhaps the only tool he could conveniently use was Hydrangea. The Yugito Nii were not yielding, and it would probably take some time before they could be recruited as Evil God follower.

This nurturing option is quite useful; if he recruits ten followers, he'll have ten tools. Considering that, the rewards for Mission III are acceptable.

Having developed at least one follower, he could immediately unlock a separate panel. He didn't know what benefits the Evil God would bring, but Naruto knew it would certainly satisfy some of his audacious ideas.

When I got back, I recruited that Yakumo Kurama, telling him to believe in the Will of Fire and to believe in Evil God for eternal life.

Having established the basic outline of the mission, Naruto was no longer sleepy. While tossing and turning in bed, he suddenly realized that his only tool seemed rather weak!

No!

How can someone so lazy and indolent become a competent tool?

A blond-haired man, destined to be hung under a streetlamp, got up, opened the door, and silently walked to the sofa in the living room. He then used a Four Symbols Seal to store the Hydrangea in the Sealing Space.

With a thud, the Hydrangea fell.

"Hmm?" She opened her eyes and saw the familiar cell, her expression immediately changing.

However, unlike before, this time she wasn't inside a cell, but outside. The Yugito Nii next door were silently watching behind her, their gazes calm.

Later?

She turned her head and saw Naruto's face. She admitted that Naruto was quite handsome, and his dark windbreaker looked neat and tidy, but she always had a feeling that he had ill intentions.

Oh, she realized that this was the first time Yugito Nii had seen Naruto's true face. In their previous conversations, Yugito Nii had discovered that Naruto had been using a false identity.

That guy's name is... Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto noticed the looks in Yugito Nii's eyes, but didn't take them to heart. Previously, just to be on the safe side, he hadn't used his true identity, instead using a pseudonym as an Uchiha.

But now there's no need for such trouble. Mission III has already begun, Yugito Nii can no longer cause any trouble. No matter how tough she is, she'll eventually become a tool of the Evil God.

"This is."

She stood up, glanced at the empty cell that had once belonged to her, walked over silently, closed the door behind her, and skillfully squatted down in the corner.

Well, it was all a dream after all. Fine, I'll go to jail then. I really hope that guy dies soon, damn it.

"What are you doing?" Naruto looked at her in surprise. "What are you doing going in there by yourself?"

"Isn't it jail time?" Hydrangea looked up, equally astonished.

"Who told you you went to jail? You don't have to stay there anymore, I swear." Naruto solemnly raised his hand and swore, "Otherwise, may I be struck by lightning."

"Really?" The innocent girl suddenly stood up, tears welling in her eyes.

Sure enough! Sure enough! Even scumbags have a kind side; we can't condemn all bad people. She remembered the blanket Naruto had covered her with in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but think that he didn't seem so bad after all. If he really wanted it, she wouldn't refuse to give it to him.

A bad person can easily be exonerated by doing a good deed, while a good person is stained by doing a bad deed. A young girl's mind is simply too innocent; she's just too young.

In her eyes, the villain who had seemingly retired from his life of crime was plotting to use the Evil God Altar, or perhaps the training ground of the Death God's Underworld. He was unaware that the Hydrangea had already labeled him a lecher, yet he harbored no worldly desires for mere tools.

"Of course it's true." Naruto grinned, snapped his fingers, and the two of them vanished instantly.

This is an altar.

The pyramid-like staircase leads upwards to an arena the size of a football field. The stone bricks of the staircase exude an ancient charm, and dark red crystals are found in the cracks between each brick of the arena at the top.

The altar was surrounded by darkness, an endless expanse of darkness. There was no light in the distance, stretching to the very end, and all was silent.

She turned her gaze away from the distance and looked up to see a large patch of light illuminating the entire arena. The arena had no walls, and the ground was inscribed with obscure, ancient incantations.

Hydrangea felt a little uneasy; the environment here didn't seem any better than the prison cell. At least the prison cell was clean, and apart from a fence, it was almost no different from living in freedom.

"Where did he go?" She searched around and saw Naruto's back.

But she always felt that the boss's aura was strange, and his murderous intent seemed a bit heavy? Hydrangea was terrified, wondering if she had done anything to offend him.

If the Shinobi World had its own version of Hokage, then the Hydrangea would be at this temperature right now.

Dear Zhihu users, my boss doesn't want to sexually harass me, but he took me to a creepy and terrifying place. It seems like he wants to kill me. What should I do? I need help urgently!

"Um..." Hydrangea had clearly sensed Naruto's killing intent. She wanted to call out "Hey," but after swallowing, she changed her mind as soon as the words left her mouth.

"Master, where is this place? It's a bit... eerie. Have we come to the wrong place?"

"This is it."

Naruto turned around, holding an ordinary Uchigatana in his hand. With a whoosh, he pulled a sword from the darkness and threw it in front of her with a clang.

"This is the divine weapon Kusanagi Sword, which can cut through iron like mud. I won't bully you."

"Master, what are you doing?" Hydrangea was shocked, goosebumps rose all over her body, and her survival instinct was instantly activated.

Just kidding, she wouldn't be so afraid if she were stuck in jail forever. But after going out for a while, she never wants to suffer that hell again.

"This is part of the training, don't be afraid," Naruto said reassuringly, casually brandishing the ill-fitting greatsword in his hand.

"This is the Evil God Altar. As a follower of the Evil God follower, you will not die. But the pain is real, so you must do your best to develop your talents."

"I have no talent!" She glanced at the Kusanagi Sword on the ground, her voice trembling. "I don't know how to use a sword either, this..."

"It's alright, I'm not very good with a sword either. I just wanted you to get a feel for the atmosphere," he said. "Time waits for no one, so let's get started and stop talking nonsense."

"Wait! I... I still don't understand, Master, what are you trying to do?" Hydrangea held onto a sliver of hope.

"Huh? Wasn't I clear enough?" Naruto looked at her and said, "It's a real combat simulation. No one will die here, and I won't actually kill you."

"At most, you'll get a minor injury and feel a little pain. The wound will heal instantly and won't harm your body at all. I'm doing this to help you grow stronger, young lady!"

Hydrangea: "."

"Ah!!!"

"No!!!! Ah!!!"

Ten minutes later, Hydrangea collapsed to the ground in pain. There were no visible injuries on her body, but the light in her eyes had gone out. In those ten minutes, he had punched her seven times.

Each fight brought excruciating pain, and these pains always came from different parts of her body. She even suspected that the person was doing it on purpose, and hadn't even used a knife.

They claimed that using a knife was too cruel, and that they should let her get used to it first.

The saying goes, "You only realize how little you know when you need it." Hydrangea began to regret not having spent the first eighteen years of her life cultivating herself properly. Now, she could only passively endure the beatings, each time in excruciating pain that made her want to die.

"You have great talent, and there's still a lot of room for improvement." Naruto's voice rang out again, the dragging tip of his sword slid across the ground and bricks, sparks flying.

"Ah!! You bastard!!" Hydrangea couldn't hold back any longer and immediately used a Summoning Technique. A huge One-Horned Rhino charged out and rushed straight at Naruto.

With a whoosh, the knife fell, One-Horned Rhino vanished into white smoke with a bang.

"This Summoning Beast is a bit weak. I'll take you to catch a stronger one Summoning Beast." Naruto smiled, finding it satisfying to train his tool.
