Bang!

The Nine-Tails Demon Fox transformed into the size of a miniature toy figurine.

It looked adorable.

Appearing in the real world like this.

No one would be able to tell that this was the once arrogant and world-shaking existence.

The strongest Tailed Beast that made countless ninjas tremble in fear!

The aura on its body could only be sensed by Naruto.

Everything else was hidden away perfectly!

"Not bad, you're fine just like this."

Naruto rubbed his chin.

He gave it a decent evaluation.

It was just a pity that this trashy fox couldn't turn into a fox-girl.

Thinking of the beautiful, mature Nine-Tailed Fox from League of Legends.

And then looking at the giant Nine-Tails in the ninja world!

It was just freaking ridiculous!

One was a monster girl, the other was a beast.

There was absolutely no comparison between the two!

Being stared at by Naruto.

The Nine-Tails felt its fur stand on end, and it said with tears in its eyes, "Ma... Master, I really can't change anymore."

"Got it. From now on, when I call you out, you appear like this, understand?"

Naruto spread his hands to show he understood.

That look of disappointment.

Gave the Nine-Tails, which was on the verge of a breakdown, a glimmer of hope.

Whatever you say, big boss.

But turning into a human is definitely out of the question.

It's just too insulting to us Tailed Beasts!

"Yes, Master!"

"Eh... there are two malicious auras rapidly closing in on us!"

"What should we do, Master?"

The Nine-Tails asked politely.

These two auras were very well hidden.

Among ordinary ninjas.

They would be considered top-tier experts!

But...

In the eyes of the Nine-Tails, these were just a bunch of weaklings, weren't they?

They were like mosquitoes or flies that could be swatted to death with a flick of the hand.

It believed Naruto had sensed them too.

In order to show that it was still of some use.

The Nine-Tails chose to perform well.

"Oh? Looks like they're enemies of my dear old dad. Let's use them to practice."

Naruto cracked his neck.

He did some warm-up exercises in advance.

As the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

He had killed many elite ninjas from other villages when the Third Great Ninja War broke out.

His military exploits were legendary.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of Konoha Hokage.

Those who could reach that position.

Which one of them didn't have blood on their hands?

The families of those dead elite ninjas couldn't take on Minato Namikaze.

Could it be that I can't even beat a weakling who just became a genin?

Kill Naruto, and at the same time, plunder the Nine-Tails within him.

Two birds with one stone.

Because of this, many talented ninjas volunteered to form small squads to come and assassinate Naruto.

"Eh... interesting... they were stopped by the Anbu."

Although he couldn't see them, Naruto could sense two auras rushing toward him.

They stopped outside.

They couldn't get a single step closer to him!

"So boring... are these weaklings really that pathetic? They can't even get past the Anbu, yet they dare to come and assassinate me?"

Naruto curled his lip in dissatisfaction.

He thought he might have some fun tonight.

To have a good time.

Who would have thought these weaklings would die before they even achieved their goal.

Dying on the way to an assassination.

Good grief!

If you don't have the strength these days, don't come out and embarrass yourself.

Nine-Tails suppressed the urge to complain from the bottom of his heart.

My master!!

The Konoha Anbu are not just there for show.

They are more than enough to intercept some small fries.

Nine-Tails thought to himself.

But it wasn't long before he was proven wrong.

An extremely stealthy aura bypassed the Anbu blockade.

It was speeding toward them rapidly.

"Oh... there's still some useful stock, not everyone is a bucket of slop."

Naruto grinned.

Nine-Tails' mouth twitched.

A surge of anger rose in his heart.

Not directed at Naruto.

But at the bastard with that stealthy aura.

You almost made me lose face, you fox!

Scum!

I'll kill you!

"Going out to greet the guest; I don't want to get my new house dirty."

Bang—

A Puppet Shadow Clone appeared before him.

Naruto closed his eyes and focused.

His consciousness connected directly to this Puppet Shadow Clone.

He could currently control up to ten such Puppet Shadow Clones simultaneously.

Personally control them, that is!

Closing his eyes and focusing allowed him to perform better in actual operation.

Rather than just giving the summoned Puppet Shadow Clones a thought or a command, and then leaving the rest to them.

That is the fundamental difference between the two.

Nine-Tails was dumbfounded.

"Master, aren't you going out?"

Didn't you just look eager to fight?

Wanting to stretch your muscles?

Good grief!

How did you manage to send out a shadow clone?

The Puppet Shadow Clone Naruto rolled his eyes.

He looked at the Nine-Tails as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Can you have a little ambition?"

"Do you really think I need to use my main body to deal with a weakling?"

His movements and expressions were indistinguishable from the original!

What shocked the Nine-Tails even more was the chakra possessed by that shadow clone.

It was exactly the same as the chakra held by Naruto's main body.

No way...

Is this kid a monster?

The Nine-Tails had once seen this in Uchiha Madara.

Even with an incredibly abundant and deep reserve of chakra, shadow clones were ultimately never as powerful as the original.

Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have died during the wars.

Everyone would just use shadow clones.

They would send these clones out to fight the wars.

While they stayed at home lying down and resting.

You don't need a brain to know that such a thing is impossible.

Speaking of Uchiha Madara.

The Nine-Tails wasn't surprised that he had such ability.

But you, Naruto, are so young and have already mastered a ninjutsu it has never heard of or seen before.

Isn't this just too perverted?

Pushing open the door.

"Ah... Master, wait for me."

The Nine-Tails looked at the main body, then looked at the clone.

It ultimately decided to follow Naruto's Puppet Shadow Clone out.

If the boss is leaving.

How could an employee dare to stay behind alone?

"Phew, it's just like the intel said, this is the room, right?"

A thin man with a very stealthy presence.

Wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His companions were responsible for the feint.

To draw the attention of the Konoha Anbu.

He was taking the opportunity to come over and finish off Naruto, who was currently nothing.

If you can't beat a fierce tiger, surely you can at least kill its cub?

"So you're the one called Uzumaki Naruto, right? Tonight I'll send you on your way, go down and reunite with your parents; it can be considered doing a good deed for the country and the people."

"You should be grateful to me for relieving you of the pain of being hated by the village."

The man had received asymmetrical information.

He believed Naruto was still a rat that everyone hated and wanted to beat up.

"You've got guts. I really admire a rookie ninja like you who is full of mysterious self-confidence and has no clue how pathetic he is."

Opening the door.

Naruto, who was coming out from inside, happened to hear the man talking to himself.

He raised an international friendly gesture toward him.

The man was instantly plunged into a state of confusion.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

The target he was supposed to assassinate wasn't hiding or cowering.

He had actually swaggered out of the room.

And was raising a gesture he didn't understand at him.

Happiness arrives too fast, like a tornado.

I can't leave love behind, I have no time to escape, I cannot...

"Hmph, brat, since you delivered yourself to my doorstep, don't blame me for being impolite."

The man pulled his hand to the ninja tool pouch at his waist.

In one hand he held a kunai, in the other an explosive tag.

"Hahahaha... Kurama, where did this clown come from? Do ninjas really still use kunai and explosive tags when they fight?"

Naruto laughed until he was doubled over.

Nine-Tails had to admit it.

What Naruto said actually made some sense.

After all, it had experienced it firsthand.

The ninjas who fought it in the past.

Always loved throwing a few kunai at it for no reason.

Not only was the damage negligible.

It wasn't even enough to scratch an itch.

Which real ninja uses kunai in a fight?!

Do you?

I certainly don't.

Nine-Tails chimed in.

"I don't know where this bumpkin came from, never seen the world, only knows how to use these two things."

The man froze.

Did he see that right?

A doll that could actually talk!

Not only could it talk, but it mocked him as a bumpkin?!

Shouldn't ninjas use kunai and explosive tags in battle?

This is basic ninja procedure!

If you can't even use these two things.

How dare you call yourself a ninja?

A blatant insult!

The man was incensed with shame and anger, "Damn it! You bastard brat and foul-mouthed fox doll, I'm going to kill you!"
