Love Brain

As a Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, Naruto's childhood was one of loneliness. The leaking Nine-Tails chakra made him an outcast in the eyes of his peers and a demon fox in the eyes of the villagers...

Shut up!

You trash system, how dare you make snide remarks! Hurry up and think of a way!

The system ignored him and continued to compile its unofficial history.

Jiang Naruto gritted his teeth in frustration, feeling as if his head were about to explode, but he couldn't afford to dwell on that—the "Dong Trumpet" was the priority now!

Inside the sealing space, Bibi Dong's tyrannical soul power roared, constantly battering the chains of the Eight Trigrams Seal. Shimmering purple-black divine power surged from the cracks in her fracturing body!

Right now, with just a casual flick of her finger, she could crush Tang San, this thorn in her side, right on the spot!

As for the consequences?

She didn't care at all!

This... crazy woman!

Jiang Naruto roared through gritted teeth, holding onto the Eight Trigrams Seal for dear life. As the void tore open, countless golden chains erupted from it. The rampaging soul power gradually slowed, only to be forced into motion again by Bibi Dong's reckless actions!

Neither side showed any sign of stopping.

Dense golden chains nearly filled the entire sealing space.

Jiang Naruto furrowed his brows, clutching his aching chest as his face turned deathly pale.

Oh no!

Unlike last time, Bibi Dong's near-suicidal actions allowed Naruto to clearly sense the life-link between them. If the "Dong Trumpet" died, he, the Jinchuriki, would definitely die too!

Why pursue such rigorous settings in a boring place like this?

If this continued, Bibi Dong's soul power origin would be completely exhausted in the struggle against the seal!

But could he let Bibi Dong kill Tang San now?

If he let go and allowed Bibi Dong to kill Tang San to her heart's content, Jiang Naruto's current body—which only had the strength of a Spirit Master—could at most withstand the soul power of a Spirit Ancestor-level Dong Trumpet. Facing a furious Tang Hao with such strength, he wouldn't even be able to run.

Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, didn't matter; she was already a dead person. Being able to clear away a future formidable enemy for her world-self was a huge profit no matter how you looked at it.

She was old and withered; she would have no regrets in death.

But he was just a six-year-old boy in the prime of his life—he really couldn't afford to die!

Damn it! This pitfall of a Jinchuriki!

Cursing inwardly, Jiang Naruto hardened his expression and quietly opened a slit in the Eight Trigrams Seal. As his consciousness entered, Bibi Dong's face—crawling with black chains and bulging veins under the influence of her furious killing intent—suddenly appeared before him.

Naruto raised his hand and swung his arm in a full arc!

Slap!

A crisp sound of a palm striking skin echoed.

The previously manic Bibi Dong froze on the spot. The bulging veins receded, the soul power storm ravaging the sealing space vanished into thin air, and the clattering chains fell silent as Bibi Dong ceased her resistance.

The sealing space fell into a deathly silence.

Naruto gasped, Quietly rubbing his stinging palm—the former Rakshasa God's skin was truly thick—he looked up to meet Bibi Dong's dazed, unfocused eyes.

"Calm down, you old hag!"

Bibi Dong's mouth hung slightly open, her pupils constricting. The cheek he had just slapped rapidly turned bright red, burning with pain.

The next second, Bibi Dong turned her head to look at Naruto, her silver teeth biting down hard on her lip. Her body, bound by the chains, trembled uncontrollably.

Wait!

Naruto's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

The moment he retreated, crimson, bone-chilling killing intent erupted from behind Bibi Dong. The spearhead of her fury had shifted toward Naruto!?

"You! How! Dare! You! Slap! Me!?"

A shrill roar echoed through the room. Looking at Bibi Dong's blood-red eyes, Jiang Naruto felt his resolve crumbling.

A moment ago, she was screaming for Tang San's blood, ready to perish together, and now, because of a single slap, she had forgotten all about Tang San and wanted to fight him to the death?

Haji-Dong, is your brain single-core?

Can you only process one thing at a time?

In truth, given Naruto's strength, the force hadn't hurt her at all, but the act of slapping... the damage was minimal, but the insult was massive. For certain prideful individuals, the damage was doubled!

Putting the complaints aside, cold sweat beaded on Jiang Naruto's forehead. The problem now was how to pacify this furious Bibi Dong. Her figure had already begun to turn translucent; this crazy woman didn't value her own life at all!

What to do?

Naruto's brain raced at top speed.

Bibi Dong, who had been on the verge of tearing the person before her to shreds, suddenly stopped. Her previously taut body went limp, and a gleam of light flickered within her blood-red eyes.

Before Jiang Naruto could even feel confused, the answer jumped right before his eyes.

In the real world, a middle-aged teacher with a buzz cut and a lean build walked past Naruto with his hands behind his back, heading straight toward the gate.

"Xiaogang?"

It was hard to imagine that such a gentle voice could ever come from Bibi Dong.

Now it was Jiang Naruto's turn to be furious.

Damn it!

She's a total simp!

I'm going to fight you to the death! Haji-Dong!

"The proof is genuine, there is no mistake. Sir, I apologize to you on behalf of the academy."

Tang San discreetly tucked away his hidden weapon and looked up, eyeing the middle-aged man who had stepped in to resolve the situation for him and Old Jack with curiosity. Beside him, Old Jack was trembling with fear, shaking his head like a rattle and waving his hands repeatedly to decline the gesture, claiming he didn't deserve such treatment.

What followed was simple: Yu Xiaogang lectured the gatekeeper with the air of a god descending to earth, then took the initiative to hold Tang San's hand and lead him inside to register.

After bidding farewell to Old Jack, Tang San asked curiously.

"Master? Are you a teacher at this academy?"

"No, no, no. Your name is Tang San, right?" Yu Xiaogang's tone was light, carrying the decadent air peculiar to literary youths. "Tang San, you must remember that there is a world of difference between a 'Master' and a 'teacher.' Don't make that mistake again in the future. As for me..."

Yu Xiaogang paused, his gaze drifting into the distance, his eyes filled with untold stories. "I am merely a friend of the headmaster, a guest here just looking for a free meal and a place to stay..."

Not far away, Naruto returned to normal, the unsettling black chains beneath his skin receding.

He watched the two conversing at the school gate from afar, his expression subtle—not just because of this pretentious man who had suddenly appeared, but because of the electronic voice ringing in his ears once again.

[As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha has just enrolled and encountered a strange man claiming to be a friend of the headmaster. As everyone knows, the headmaster of the Ninja Academy is the Third Hokage, and the person who can be called his friend is none other than—Shimura Danzo!]

[Shimura Danzo, who covets the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, has set his sights on poor Uchiha Sasuke!]

Are you still making up your wild history!

What use are you, you trash system!?

I only cursed Haji-Dong earlier, did I forget to curse you too?

Driven to the brink of madness, Jiang Naruto unleashed his full firepower, screaming at this idiotic system. The system was trash, and Haji-Dong was trash too!

Speaking of Dong Trumpet.

Jiang Naruto's consciousness sank. Inside the sealing space, dense golden runic chains formed a forest. Bibi Dong, trapped in the center, looked like a hedgehog wrapped in chains. For his own peace of mind, Naruto had wrapped her in layer after layer, several times over.

The storm of killing intent that had been raging had ceased, and Bibi Dong's previously ethereal body had become solid once more.

Naruto's consciousness passed through the dense chains and arrived before Bibi Dong. The slap mark on her face had yet to fade; she simply lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, looking utterly dejected.

She looked exactly like a scorned woman...

Running into a simp, there was truly no reasoning with her. Jiang Naruto was filled with complaints, but he could only cross his arms and glare at her sideways.

"Not shouting about killing Tang San anymore?"

"There will always be an opportunity to kill Tang San..."

Bibi Dong's voice was very slow, whether due to the embarrassment of being called out by Naruto or because she truly hadn't let go of the past.

"This should be the happiest moment for Xiaogang, I cannot..."

"Happiest?" Naruto's voice rose sharply, his eyes widening as he laughed on the spot. "Haha, the happiest moment for him should be when his precious disciple kills you."

"Shut your mouth!"

The chains binding Bibi Dong began to emit a dangerous screeching sound. With only her head able to move, Bibi Dong stretched her neck, her expression full of resentment, as if she wanted to tear a piece of flesh off Naruto.

"He called my name back then! He definitely has me in his heart! If it weren't for..."

The triggered Haji-Dong began a long-winded, nagging rant. Naruto drooped his eyelids halfway and picked at his ear, not taking in a single word.

"Fine, fine, fine. I won't argue about this with a simp like you."

"What do you mean by 'simp'!?"

Judging solely by Naruto's attitude, Bibi Dong felt it wasn't a good word. Just as she was about to continue, she saw Naruto swing his arm around again.

Slap!

The crisp sound of a palm echoed through the space.

A slap mark appeared on Bibi Dong's previously flawless left cheek. After a brief moment of shock, her expression shifted from dullness to murderous intent, and she cast a predatory glare at Naruto.

"You hit me again!"

"I'll hit you if I want!"

In the reflection of Bibi Dong's pupils was Naruto, spitting as he roared in fury, "You almost got us both killed just now! What do you mean 'there's always an opportunity' to kill Tang San? Is your brain stuck in a door?"

Bibi Dong's momentum faltered, and she gritted her silver teeth. Since her body couldn't move, then...

Bang!

Jiang Naruto let out a whimper as his forehead took a heavy headbutt from Bibi Dong!

The dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall was actually using such a primitive and savage method of attack!

"He is only level ten right now! If it weren't for you useless brat holding me back, This Seat could crush him with a flick of my hand!" Bibi Dong raised her head proudly and snapped, her voice sharp. If not for this little brat blocking her, she would have already killed Tang San!

The clash between the two was truly comical; one was barely six years old—let alone having any soul skills, he usually had to jump just to reach the top of Bibi Dong's head.

The other was the complete opposite, possessing maxed-out damage stats, yet she was bound by golden runic chains and unable to move an inch.

Truly, wherever there is a crouching dragon, there is a fledgling phoenix; these two noobs were actually fighting for real...

However, While their behavior was ridiculous, their anger was genuine.

"Stop calling yourself 'This Seat' at me! Call it again and I'll smack you again! What level is Tang Hao right now? Do you know where Tang Hao is hiding? Do you even know if he's following behind Tang San!?"

"Tang Hao..."

Bibi Dong panted heavily, her hair, which had been coiled up behind her head, having come undone at some point. She looked utterly disheveled. As she muttered the name of her enemy, her confidence gradually waned, yet she still stubbornly retorted.

"What kind of trash are you? So what if Tang Hao comes? I... I will still kill him!"

"You stupid woman! The soul power you just leaked almost killed me! You are nothing but a conscious mass of soul power right now! You have no physical body! If I die, you die too! Do you understand!?"

Jiang Naruto's final roar ended the confrontation.

Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Jiang Naruto through her messy hair, but she could no longer find an excuse. She could only grit her teeth, huff in dissatisfaction, and finally turn her head away, remaining silent.

"Hoo..."

Jiang Naruto gasped for air. Seeing Bibi Dong look away, he quickly sucked in a few breaths of cold air, the muscles on his forehead twitching uncontrollably.

He had finally managed to suppress this Haji-Dong.

Jiang Naruto withdrew his consciousness.

"..."

The vast, sealed space returned to a deathly silence. Seeing that he had left, Bibi Dong muttered under her breath.

"It's clearly just because you're too weak, you little brat!"
