The Host Has Blackened a Little, Which Is All for the Better

Konoha.

An unknown jinchuriki tossed and turned in bed.

Good thing I just fell asleep after playing games for too long; I thought I'd kicked the bucket.

Naruto.

Before transmigrating, he had been under his covers playing games all night.

Due to staying up late, he had fallen into a deep sleep and been smacked in the face by his phone.

Coincidentally, the eight stars had shifted, and the Blue Star's magnetic field had reversed.

His phone's radio waves resonated with his brain waves, and his soul was swept into the space-time torrent of the solar system, undergoing a complete transformation.

And so.

Naruto had transmigrated!

Why is there a sun? I don't wake up in the morning!

Naruto opened his eyes.

A massive flood of memories surged into his mind.

Something about a lonely fox boy on a swing, something about stealing a scroll to learn the Shadow Clone Technique!

The kind older sister he'd just met turned out to be a cute boy, but then tried to kill him in the blink of an eye!

The girl he liked loved a red-eyed boy who found her annoying, yet she had formed a bond with him!

In a flash, he had taken the Chunin Exams and handed in a blank paper, yet it perfectly matched the examiner's unique tastes!

He'd snatched a scroll, met all sorts of non-humans, and defeated his childhood rival in the preliminaries using a fart.

And so.

Naruto blinked, instantly realizing where he was.

I died!

And I'm alive again!

And he had become Uzumaki Naruto!

Forget it, it's not the game's fault; it's all gravity's fault for being so serious!

Naruto quickly accepted his new identity.

After all, before transmigrating, he had loved playing all sorts of Naruto games and watching the four beauties of Konoha dance in cosplay.

Strange, why do I feel so energetic, yet so full of rage?

Naruto's happy memories were quickly flooded by a vast amount of dark ones.

I almost forgot that Naruto is overly optimistic and has a strong heart. As for me, if I lose a single argument while scrolling through videos, I have to analyze it all night!

Naruto let out a long breath to calm himself down.

I've graduated from the Ninja Academy, I'm already a registered genin, the commission is high, my bloodline is strong, my talent is high, I have backup hidden energy, I...

The more Naruto thought about it, the angrier he became.

How could he swallow all this rage?

From now on, he had to walk sideways through Konoha and the ninja world!

System! If you aren't dead, get out here already! I don't believe you aren't there!

Naruto was furious.

What kind of life had Naruto been living?

A dignified Fourth Hokage's son, a Nine-Tails jinchuriki, and an Asura chakra reincarnate shouldn't have to put up with this nonsense!

[Ding!]

[Sensing the host's burning rage and malice, the Turn Back to the Shore System has been activated and successfully bound.]

[Make your efforts to complete tasks to earn Goodwill Points; if a task fails, you will receive Penalty Points.]

[Goodwill Points and Penalty Points can be used to spin different prize wheels respectively.]

Naruto saw two wheels in front of him.

The golden, shimmering one was for Goodwill Points, marked as 10 Goodwill Points per spin.

The dark purple one was for Penalty Points, marked as 100 Penalty Points per spin.

Oh?

Naruto gasped sharply.

This system isn't right!

He looked at the prizes above, and they were completely different.

On the Goodwill side were "Frilled Lizard Technique," "Lightning Five-Combo Fist Taijutsu," "Headhunter Jutsu," "Summoning: Rabbit Family," and "Thank You for Playing."

What the hell is this?

Punishment value prizes.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Armor," "Rasengan," "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique," "Summoning: Slug," "Three More Draws."

Naruto was speechless.

The answer was far too obvious!

"The result of all that golden flash is just a pile of trash. I'm truly impressed."

Naruto didn't have the slightest intention of turning over a new leaf.

[As you can see, good intentions reach the summit step by step, while the path of evil punishment is difficult to traverse.]

[Therefore, every choice of good intention is a step toward a thousand miles, and every evil act carries strict punishment.]

[When the host's good or evil intentions reach a certain level, you will receive rewards and punishments respectively.]

[Sensing a sharp rise in the host's evil intentions, hurry and extinguish them.]

[First mission initiated.]

[Today, you will encounter the perverted sage Jiraiya at the hot springs.]

[Under no circumstances are you to aid and abet his vice, especially by using the Sexy Technique.]

[Please conduct yourself as a gentleman and have him properly teach you ninjutsu. Wishing the host success in becoming a righteous Chunin.]

[Mission success will grant 10 Goodness Points.]

[Mission failure will result in 100 Punishment Points.]

Naruto's lips curled upward.

He was absolutely going to make the mission fail.

A full 100 Punishment Points meant a direct draw!

After the third round of official matches was drawn yesterday.

The Third Hokage had spoken.

He told everyone to rest for a month to prepare for the matches.

Naruto had wanted Kakashi to train him, but ended up being entrusted to Ebisu.

Today, he was going to find that perverted special jonin, Ebisu!

Naruto's stomach rumbled.

He simply got up to make himself a cup of instant noodles.

He opened a carton of milk.

"Pfft!"

The noodles tasted terrible, and the milk tasted strange too.

"Everything is expired!"

"Whatever, as long as it doesn't kill me."

Naruto firmly believed his body could handle it.

He headed out.

Konoha Village had good greenery, and the air was quite fresh.

At the hot springs.

Ebisu was earnestly teaching Naruto how to gather chakra in the soles of his feet.

This was the technique to walk on water.

Naruto wanted to try, but the seal Orochimaru had left on his stomach caused issues with his chakra flow.

After several failures.

The mist near the wall gradually cleared.

A man with long white hair was crouching by the wall, peeking.

Jiraiya!

"There's a pervert!"

Naruto recognized the perverted sage at a glance.

"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything!"

Ebisu panicked, thinking he was the one being accused.

"Damn it! What are you screaming about, you brat? You almost ruined my lifelong reputation!"

Poof!

The smoke cleared.

Jiraiya crouched on the back of a giant toad.

The toad stood directly on top of the unconscious Ebisu.

"You stepped on the mentor who was supposed to teach me! You big pervert!"

Naruto immediately began forming hand seals.

Only three ninjutsu techniques were familiar to him in his mind.

They were the Shadow Clone Technique, the Sexy Jutsu, and the Harem Jutsu!

The Turn Back to the Shore System had set a task.

It required Naruto to refrain from using the Sexy Jutsu and let Jiraiya teach him properly.

Well then.

Naruto would certainly be obedient!

"What big pervert! Have you discovered my identity?"

"I am none other than the Toad Sage from Mount Myoboku, Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya's self-introduction had not yet finished.

Two streams of nosebleed nearly sprayed out!

Naruto did not use the Sexy Jutsu.

He went straight for the Harem Jutsu!

It dealt a critical blow to Jiraiya, who was still in the hot spring!

"Good! Good lad! You really are a genius! To think you could combine the Transformation Technique and the Clone Technique so perfectly!"

Jiraiya wiped away his nosebleed.

"I am willing to become your teacher! Let's continue the training!"

Jiraiya, wearing a wicked grin, was just about to begin his instruction.

He noticed something unusual on Naruto's stomach as the boy formed seals.

He easily undid the seal left behind by Orochimaru.

This time.

Naruto stood on the surface of the water with ease.

He knew full well it was thanks to Jiraiya.

"You have a bit of talent, at least."

Jiraiya crossed his arms and laughed, "It seems I should teach you something real!"

"Wait!"

Naruto felt a pain in his stomach and took off running.

Just as he walked out of the restroom.

Jiraiya leaped up from the wall, a wicked grin of a successful scheme on his face.

"I have some business today, come find me at the forest training ground tomorrow!"

Without waiting for Naruto to answer.

Jiraiya had already vanished without a trace.

Was it over?

"I'm throwing away all that spoiled milk and instant noodles as soon as I get back!"

Naruto knew that Naruto had earned some money from missions, enough to stock up on some fresh food.

[Ding!]

[The Turn Back to the Shore System has detected Jiraiya's departure. Host has failed the task and receives 100 penalty points as a humiliation!]

"You're letting me off that easily?"

"You're only using this measly amount of penalty points to humiliate me!"

Naruto wished the system would punish him even more.

[Sensing that the host is becoming somewhat corrupted.]

[The host need not panic; this system is dedicated to helping the host turn over a new leaf!]

"That would be for the best!"

Naruto clapped his hands to encourage himself.
