Nine-Tails! The Complete Uzumaki Clan Physique

After training for an entire afternoon, Naruto had lost track of time. When he woke up, it was already dusk.

He checked the time. It was already around six or seven in the evening.

After extracting chakra for so long, Naruto was getting hungry.

He took out the nutritional canned food the system had given him earlier from beneath the table.

Although the system's built-in storage space could store the rewards he obtained, and seemingly even his own belongings, with plenty of room to spare.

There were fewer people watching him now, but there was still a risk of being discovered. So Naruto had placed the cans beneath the table early on, avoiding the risk of making them appear out of thin air.

"Let's see what this canned food tastes like."

Naruto eagerly opened the can, and a fragrant aroma drifted out.

Using his chopsticks, Naruto scooped out the meat from the can and gave it a proper taste.

This flavor! It was incredible!

As expected, anything produced by the system was top-quality.

Ichiraku Ramen was delicious, but anyone would get sick of eating it every day.

Sometimes, he could go there a few times to fleece the system by completing repeatable missions.

But ramen was still ramen, and its nutritional value was fairly limited.

Naruto was currently in a physically weakened state. It was time to rely on the system's nutritional canned food to replenish himself properly.

After finishing the can, Naruto began extracting chakra again. By the time he was done, it was already midnight.

At Naruto's age, when he was still growing, he needed enough sleep to develop quickly.

Before going to bed, he ate another can to replenish his nutrients.

Extracting chakra for such a long time had exhausted Naruto mentally. After finishing the can, he lay down in bed, pulled up the blanket, and fell asleep almost instantly.

In his dream, Naruto's consciousness gradually cleared from its haze.

Still groggy, he rubbed his eyes and said curiously, "Holy crap, where the hell did this bring me? Is this still the world of Naruto?"

Looking at the gloomy surroundings, he seemed to be in some sort of basement.

The environment was dark and damp, and Naruto instantly understood where he was.

Why did I suddenly get brought here?

Naruto looked behind him, but he could not see any way back.

"Then I can only move forward. Let me see what you look like, Kurama!"

Naruto walked down the corridor. As he went deeper, the standing water grew deeper and deeper, gradually rising past his ankles.

Naruto reached the end of the corridor, and just as he arrived.

A drop of water seemed to fall from above, shattering the stillness.

"Brat, come here!" An extremely seductive voice came from deep within the corridor.

Naruto looked toward the source of the voice.

A cage made of crimson pillars came into view.

Inside the cage was an enormous orange figure, as large as a small hill. It lay upon the water, its nine tails constantly swishing behind it!

It was you, Tamamo-no-Mae!

Sorry, wrong story.

It was you, Nine-Tails!

An extremely ominous chakra aura radiated from the Nine-Tails.

"Brat, come here. Come here!"

Under the Nine-Tails' seductive call, Naruto slowly walked toward it.

"The system mission has been issued. Make the Nine-Tails surprised. The more times it is surprised, the richer the mission reward!"

The system popped up at this moment to remind him of its presence.

Naruto had never been tempted by the Nine-Tails in the first place. He was merely playing along with it.

As Naruto drew closer and closer to the seal, the Nine-Tails grew more and more satisfied.

"Good, good. Come closer, closer still. There is a seal in front of you. Quickly, remove it!"

The Nine-Tails' tone shifted from patient coaxing to faint urgency.

Naruto saw the seal on the cage.

Naruto knew that if he truly touched that seal, perhaps his bargain-bin dad and bargain-bin mom would appear.

He was not ready to face them yet.

So Naruto pretended to be bewitched. At the very instant his hand was about to touch the seal.

He suddenly pulled it back and smiled at the Nine-Tails. "Oh, I pulled it back. What do you think? Didn't see that coming, did you? Surprised? Unexpected?"

The Nine-Tails had not expected Naruto to be immune to its voice. Everything he had done before had been an act. He had been playing it for a fool.

Nine-Tails surprise count increased by one!

It instantly flew into a rage and snarled, "Damn it, you little brat! You dared to trick me! You deserve to die!"

Its nine tails lashed wildly behind it. The Nine-Tails stood up and swiped fiercely at the cage.

Unfortunately, the seal was extremely sturdy. Its claws landed against the cage before Naruto, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"Scare me however you want. I'm not afraid at all!" Naruto leisurely clasped his hands behind his head and confidently looked at the Nine-Tails' claws.

Nine-Tails surprise count increased by one!

"How is this possible? Isn't this your first time seeing me? Why aren't you afraid of me?" Now the Nine-Tails was completely baffled.

It was meeting Naruto for the first time, yet Naruto was not afraid of it. Was he thick-headed, or just slow to react?

Still, thinking about how long it had lived inside Naruto's body, it had seen clearly how Naruto had been treated.

The Nine-Tails thought, I may not be human, but those villagers really are dogs!

"Brat, do you want my power? With my power, you can easily kill the villagers who have always hated you. Even your Hokage can be defeated effortlessly!"

The Nine-Tails continued tempting Naruto.

"You only need to remove the seal on the cage. Then I can give you everything you want and grant you power unmatched in the world!"

The Nine-Tails continued boasting, trying to beguile Naruto.

Naruto immediately smiled and asked, "You can give me anything? Including power unmatched in the world?"

The Nine-Tails gave what it believed to be a kind smile and continued, "Of course. Anything. What do you want? I can help you achieve it, as long as you remove this seal!"

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Then can you make me stronger than Madara Uchiha?"

"Madara Uchiha?! Where did you hear that name?" The Nine-Tails was instantly surprised again.

Nine-Tails surprise count increased by one!

Hearing that name brought back some unpleasant memories for the Nine-Tails.

Back then, it had once been so proud and full of spirit.

Until it encountered Madara Uchiha. With his powerful Mangekyo Sharingan, that man had treated capturing it like catching a pet.

When it woke up, it had already signed a Summoning Contract.

By the time it awoke, it was already on some battlefield. Madara Uchiha had put some strange armor on it. The Uchiha Clan really knew how to get creative.

That was a memory the Nine-Tails did not want to revisit.

"Brat, answer me. Where did you hear that name?" The Nine-Tails had been sealed inside Naruto from the moment Naruto was born. It had watched everything Naruto experienced. Naruto should have had no way of knowing Madara Uchiha's name.

"Oh, so you can't beat Madara Uchiha. Then can you beat Hashirama Senju?" Naruto continued asking.

Nine-Tails surprise count increased by one!

The Nine-Tails instantly became furious and roared, "You little punk, are you picking a fight on purpose? You're deliberately bringing up those names, aren't you?!"

In an instant, the Nine-Tails slapped the sewer water with great force, trying to hurl it at Naruto.

Unfortunately, with the cage in the way, it could only stir up tiny ripples in the sewer water. Naruto did not feel a thing beneath his feet.

But the names Naruto mentioned dragged the Nine-Tails back into its memories once more.

Madara Uchiha had captured it in order to fight against that man, Hashirama Senju.

Even earlier, that man had said something like, "Nine-Tails, your power is too great. For the peace of the ninja world, I must seal you away."

Then all it remembered was that he had seemed to clap his hands together, use some Wood Release Ninjutsu, and effortlessly subdue it!

"You're angry already? I haven't even said much yet." Naruto smiled faintly. He had not even started trying yet.

Seeing that Naruto was somewhat unusual, the Nine-Tails stopped dwelling on it.

"Get lost first!" A shockwave passed through the cage and rushed toward Naruto.

Since the Nine-Tails had lured Naruto in, it could naturally drive him out as well.

Naruto's consciousness instantly blurred.

By the time Naruto regained consciousness, some time had passed. He was lying on his own bed.

"What's with that Nine-Tails? Why did it get angry in the middle of talking? I obviously still had a whole pile of things to say. Getting kicked out this time feels like such a huge loss. System, claim my reward!"

"Congratulations, Host. You have completed the mission of making the Nine-Tails surprised. Reward: the complete Uzumaki Clan physique!"

Naruto understood this easily enough.

His father was Minato Namikaze, merely a commoner, while his mother was Kushina Uzumaki, a pure-blooded member of the Uzumaki Clan.

As the combination of the two, he could be considered mixed-blooded. He could not be considered a pure member of the Uzumaki Clan.

After receiving the system's reward of a complete Uzumaki Clan physique.

Naruto calmed himself and sensed the changes in his body.

It felt as though something missing from him had been restored.

And what he had originally possessed still seemed to remain, unaffected in any way.

He could feel the vitality in his body becoming more vigorous, while the amount of chakra he possessed had increased severalfold!

So this is the Uzumaki Clan physique? Such powerful vitality... It feels like there's something extra inside my body, too.

With a thought, a small chain seemed to appear in Naruto Uzumaki's hand.

"Huh, this is... Adamantine Sealing Chains?"

Adamantine Sealing Chains were a special ability of the Uzumaki Clan, capable of restraining Tailed Beasts. Only red-haired descendants with the clan's bloodline could use them.

Red hair was a sign of pure blood.

Naruto stood up, walked to the mirror, and carefully examined himself within it.

After his Uzumaki Clan physique became complete, he seemed to have become more handsome. The whisker marks on his face also seemed fewer.

The Adamantine Sealing Chains had awakened as well. When he poured in more chakra, the number of chains would gradually increase, and their strength would grow stronger.

But his hair was still blond, unchanged.

It seemed that completing the Uzumaki Clan physique only altered his internal traits and did not greatly affect his outward appearance.

Naruto wondered whether Kagura's Mind's Eye had also changed somehow.

He used Kagura's Mind's Eye again, and this time, there really were many changes.

If the previous Kagura's Mind's Eye had given him an image like a radar screen, where he could only see a few points with chakra and their rough directions.

Then this new Kagura's Mind's Eye gave him three-hundred-and-sixty-degree detection with no blind spots. Based on the unique characteristics of chakra, it could even relay the specific appearances of people.

The effect had improved by far more than double.

"It's over, it's over, it's over. I lost out!"

Just a few surprises had allowed Naruto to obtain the complete Uzumaki Clan physique. If he had made the Nine-Tails surprised a few more times earlier, could he have obtained Asura's special physique? If he were bolder, perhaps even the special physique of the Otsutsuki Sage, or even the alien physique of the Otsutsuki Clan.

If he could do it over, he would definitely tell the Nine-Tails from before, "I'll make sure to give you plenty of surprises. I won't mention Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju anymore!"

Still, awakening the complete Uzumaki Clan physique now was not a loss either.

And after awakening it, Naruto felt incredibly hungry!

It felt like the deficiencies in his body had been restored, but he still needed energy to replenish himself.

So Naruto took out several more cans. He wolfed down four whole cans before he was full.

The system-produced canned food was already extremely filling to begin with.

This showed just how much nutrition Naruto had been lacking!
