Dog System

Thinking of this scene, Naruto Uzumaki felt a touch of horror.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't know how old Feng Baobao was, but if he were forced to stay twelve years old forever, he wouldn't stand for it.

Hinata sensed a fluctuation in chakra; the moment she turned around, her mouth fell wide open.

The Naruto Uzumaki beside her seemed to have grown much taller.

Naruto Uzumaki had been quite satisfied with his original height of 1.65 meters, thinking that reaching about 1.85 meters by the age of sixteen or seventeen would be fine; after all, being too short lacked the aura of a powerhouse.

Using Twin Palms, Naruto Uzumaki's height was now 1.75 meters, and he looked to be sixteen years old—much like the Naruto Uzumaki from the Shippuden era, only far more handsome.

However, his face still looked somewhat childish, and he knew this state couldn't be altered; he had just tried using Twin Palms to change it, but it was useless.

His face twitched violently, and he felt speechless. As expected, this damn system had its flaws: whatever you drew, you were forced to accept.

He used to think the system lacked intelligence, which made him feel at ease, but now he suddenly felt that this piece of trash was incredibly aggravating. If he were to draw Gu-Body Saint Child in the future, would he be forced to take that too? And who knew how many other infuriating physiques existed across the myriad worlds.

"Naruto Uzumaki, what is this?"

Hinata's small mouth was agape; although she thought Naruto Uzumaki looked very handsome, what was this?

"It's nothing."

Triple Inversion activated, and Naruto Uzumaki's body shrank, returning to its original appearance.

But this was the effect of Triple Inversion; from now on, he would have to maintain the state of Triple Inversion at all times, just like the Sect Master.

Hinata opened her mouth, wanting to ask but not knowing how.

Naruto Uzumaki was the same, not knowing how to explain it.

At the same time, he felt a headache regarding the system.

"It's better not to draw from the lottery unless it's an absolute last resort."

Naruto Uzumaki made up his mind; his luck couldn't possibly stay that good forever. Just look at this immortality, or the Cinnabar Mark from before.

Speaking of that cursed thing, it made Naruto Uzumaki even more depressed. With Twin Palms and his current strength, he had once tried to lift this restriction himself.

Yet, for some reason, he simply couldn't break it.

Naruto Uzumaki even suspected that even if he cut it off and grew a new one, he might not be able to get rid of it.

That was the tyranny of the system.

At the same time, he felt a sense of relief; luckily, he hadn't drawn that character card when he was younger. If he had started as Feng Baobao instead of Immortal Daying, he couldn't even imagine how terrifying that would be.

Thinking of this, his palms broke out in a cold sweat.

Hinata sensed this.

"What's wrong, Naruto Uzumaki?"

Her voice was filled with worry and confusion.

"It's nothing, I was just trying to cultivate and hit a bit of a snag."

For a moment, Naruto Uzumaki didn't know how to explain it.

They had agreed to grow up together, and suddenly he had turned into a young man.

"Then you?"

Naruto Uzumaki's explanation only made Hinata more worried.

"There are some side effects; my body just grew a bit. Don't tell anyone."

Since Hinata had already seen it, Naruto Uzumaki didn't bother hiding it.

There was no real need to conceal this ability anyway.

"That was just what Naruto Uzumaki looked like when he grew up." Hearing that it was just a side effect, Hinata felt relieved. Her face flushed red as she thought about the appearance she had just seen—he looked so handsome.

"Yeah, probably around sixteen years old."

Naruto Uzumaki was speechless. The thought that he might have to stay sixteen forever made him scratch his head in frustration. It wasn't that it was bad, but he felt too young; if he could be eighteen, that would be even better.

Hinata naturally didn't understand what Naruto Uzumaki was worried about. To her, growing up quickly sounded great, and he really did look handsome.

"So, Naruto Uzumaki, is this your Transformation Technique?"

Hinata blinked her large eyes.

"You could say that."

Naruto Uzumaki's voice sounded listless.

"Um, Naruto Uzumaki, I didn't see clearly before. Let me see again."

They were in the dark, but her Byakugan seemed to project a sky full of stars.

Being watched with such anticipation by those bright, sparkling little eyes, Naruto Uzumaki felt his back itch and his whole body felt uneasy.

He couldn't bring himself to refuse.

He deactivated Triple Inversion, and his body instantly returned to his sixteen-year-old form.

With long hair, clear and soft facial features, eyes as deep as the starry sky, and a slender, powerful physique.

Steam rose from the top of Hinata's head in an instant.

He was just too handsome—his face, his physique, his aura—everything was truly too handsome.

For a moment, Hinata's brain overheated, and her eyes grew dizzy.

Seeing her so adorable, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but smile, his gloomy mood suddenly vanishing.

"Seems not bad."

Though it appeared a bit childish, Hinata liked it, and nothing else mattered.

A height of 1.75 meters was sufficient.

Seeing her looking so cute, he couldn't resist leaning down and planting a light kiss on her forehead.

Triple Inversion.

His body reverted back to his current twelve-year-old appearance.

After the movie ended, the two walked out of the theater in a daze, neither of them remembering a single thing about the plot.

Though Naruto Uzumaki felt a bit frustrated, he gradually let it go, though he probably wouldn't dare to use this system again in the future.

After seeing Hinata home, Naruto Uzumaki returned to his own house.

The next day, the sun was bright and the sky was cloudless—a perfect day for traveling.

The members of the squad arrived at the gates of Konoha early to assemble.

This was their first time leaving the village, and both Sasuke and Hinata appeared somewhat excited.

Naruto Uzumaki felt the same.

Compared to them, Kakashi was the one truly feeling nervous inside.

One had to know that this mission would span most of the Ninja World, and the identities of the three people below him were more troublesome than the last.

The Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan, the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha—none of them could afford to have anything happen to them while out there.

Therefore, at this moment, Kakashi didn't even have the mood to look at his Icha Icha Paradise.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't know if there had been Anbu protection during his first time leaving the village in the original story, but this time, there were no other ninjas following them besides Kakashi.

To be honest, this point made Naruto Uzumaki quite satisfied; it felt like the greatest recognition Tsunade could give them.

He looked at the two people beside him; though young, they were both full of spirit.

"Not bad, this team could even form a party to take down a big boss."

Compared to Sakura, Hinata had even greater potential. Once he helped her obtain a pair of Tenseigan, they could form a party to grind bosses.

Never mind Kaguya Otsutsuki, even if it were other Otsutsuki, Naruto Uzumaki had the confidence to take them down.

"Yare yare, what a drag."

Suddenly, Kakashi walked over and scratched his head.

"Kakashi-sensei, are we about to set off?"

The three of them looked at Kakashi with anticipation.

"A problem has come up; the person we are supposed to protect has run off. You three go find them, and once you do, we'll set off."

Kakashi scratched his head.

The expressions on the three of them collapsed instantly.
