The Uzumaki Clan Still Has the Rinnegan?

Night in Konoha, Ichiraku Ramen.

"About what happened in the past, Naruto..."

Iruka scratched his head, speaking with a hint of embarrassment.

"Don't worry about it," Naruto said indifferently.

Iruka had always treated him well enough on a daily basis.

Besides, there was no deep-seated hatred between them.

Nothing that would warrant a fight to the death.

"Cough, cough..." Iruka's face flushed red as he choked.

His student was quite magnanimous.

Thinking back on his own past behavior.

Iruka felt his face burning with shame.

"Oh, right, Iruka-sensei," Naruto suddenly spoke up.

Iruka was stunned for a moment. "What is it?"

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Naruto formed a casual hand seal.

Just going through the motions.

Hand seals were so low-tier, weren't they?!!

Which serious ninja in the later stages even uses hand seals???

And don't get me started on using kunai.

No matter how accurately you throw them, what's the point?

A simple wave of the hand is enough to deflect them.

Bang—

A shadow clone, completely under his control, appeared beside Naruto!

He could even switch his consciousness to control the thoughts and actions of this clone.

It was like switching modes!

I have to say, the God-Level Shadow Clone provided by the system is truly flashy!

Iruka was left dumbfounded.

During the graduation exam this morning.

The shadow clone Naruto produced didn't have an ounce of strength.

And that thing couldn't even be called a shadow clone.

But now...

Before Iruka could say anything.

Bang, bang, bang—

Three more shadow clones appeared behind Naruto.

Iruka was completely stunned.

Since when did Naruto become this strong?

Summoning four shadow clones at once?

Even for a teacher like him, completing a shadow clone summon.

Required a significant amount of chakra.

And it wasn't easy!

"Iruka-sensei, can I graduate now?"

Naruto asked.

He didn't want to stay in the 'newbie village' playing in the mud with little brats.

If he didn't become a genin, how would he get the chance to meet his wife?

Not to mention his kawaii sister-in-law.

And all the other pretty girls.

Iruka's eyes widened as he swallowed hard, saying in disbelief, "Naruto, how did you learn this shadow clone technique?"

"And to be able to summon four at once, you shouldn't have that much chakra..."

Naruto looked at him as if he were an idiot.

He reminded him calmly, "Iruka-sensei, have you forgotten that I am the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Oh!!!

So that's how it is!!

Reminded by Naruto, Iruka instantly understood.

How could the Nine-Tails' chakra not be immense?

It was nothing a rookie ninja like him could compare to.

"Iruka-sensei, you still haven't answered whether I can graduate or not."

"Ah? Graduated, you've already graduated, there's absolutely no problem at all. I'll handle the paperwork for you tomorrow."

Iruka replied, coming back to his senses.

As expected of the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Naruto's talent was actually quite high.

Why hadn't he noticed it before?

Was it because he was always focusing on the kid's shortcomings?

No, no, this preconceived notion is bad and needs to be changed when he gets back.

"Mm, thanks Iruka-sensei. I'm full, thanks for the treat. I'm heading back now."

"Naruto, do you want me to walk you home?"

"I'm not some little brat who doesn't know the way."

"In your teacher's eyes, you're still a child."

"That's just what you think."

"..."

Watching Naruto gradually walk away, a look of relief appeared on Iruka's face.

It was the feeling of a parent watching a mischievous child grow up.

"Finally grown up... Fourth Hokage, congratulations on raising such a good son..."

Click.

The key turned.

Naruto pulled open the door and entered the room.

Snap. He turned on the lights.

The state of the house was both strange and familiar.

Instant noodle cups were strewn about.

In three words: filthy and messy.

It perfectly embodied a high-quality living environment.

Bam, bam, bam.

Naruto summoned three Shadow Clones.

"You guys, clean this place up from top to bottom. Divide the work and get it done as fast as possible!"

"Yes!"

The Shadow Clones, lacking individual consciousness and unconditionally obedient to their summoner's conditions, began to bustle about.

Naruto didn't stay idle either.

While the clones were cleaning, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

Twenty minutes later, after he finished his shower and stepped back out, the room had completely changed.

It was clean, tidy, and smelled fresh.

Once the Shadow Clones finished the tasks he had assigned, they all dissipated on their own!

"Let me see how to perfectly utilize the Nine-Tails chakra..."

A scorching glow slowly radiated from Naruto's body.

Ding, detected that the Nine-Tails within your body is restless and wishes to pull you into the Seal Land for a conversation.

"Option 1: Force the Nine-Tails to submit to you unconditionally."

"Reward: Enhanced Susanoo! (Can be manifested as armor to overlay your Nine-Tails mode.)"

"Option 2: If it likes to cause trouble, let it; ignore it."

"Reward: Hidden Ninja title—this title provides no actual stat bonuses."

Is the reward for Option 2 supposed to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?

You want me to crawl into a shell like a coward?

Keep dreaming!

Naruto now possesses the strength and capital to completely crush the Nine-Tails.

Why should he be afraid of a furry fox???

"I choose one!"

"Reward distribution in progress. Distribution successful. Obtained Enhanced Susanoo."

In an instant.

Naruto entered his inner world.

The very place where the Nine-Tails was sealed.

ROAR—

A furious, bestial roar erupted.

The sound was so deafening.

It sent the stagnant water on the ground splashing six or seven meters into the air.

That's right, it was the Nine-Tails roaring!

Its goal was to intimidate Naruto right from the start!

It was sealed here.

It couldn't mobilize even a shred of chakra.

But nothing had sealed its mouth!!

What would a little brat know?

A good scare should do the trick.

After all, Naruto was someone it had gone to great lengths to lure inside.

Naturally, it had to show off its own greatness.

It would be best to scare the kid silly so he would obediently tear off the seal.

"Yell, yell, yell—yell your ass off."

Golden Rinnegan flared to life.

Naruto's body radiated with scorching yellow-gold flames.

The Nine-Tails was intimately familiar with that power.

Familiar to the point of exhaustion.

Like an old friend!

Mother of god! Wasn't that the other half of the chakra that had been stripped away from its own body?

At this moment, the Nine-Tails became incredibly manic.

It forcibly tried to mobilize the chakra within its body.

Even if it couldn't get out, it wanted to cause a massive commotion.

Until it saw the golden Rinnegan in Naruto's eyes.

The entire fox finally quieted down.

Well, not exactly quiet.

It was mostly just bewildered!

Does the Uzumaki Clan even possess something like the Rinnegan?

Did something go wrong somewhere?
