The Nine-Tails Driven Mad

While the Nine-Tails was still trying to figure out what was going on, Naruto suddenly stood up and returned to reality.

On the bed.

Naruto abruptly opened his eyes and quietly sensed the changes within himself, feeling his boiling body and blood.

His physique had already been fairly strong, and his resistance to blows was outstanding. Now, after obtaining that drop of Saiyan Blood, his physique improved once more.

The six whisker-like markings on his cheeks gradually faded slightly under the effects of his boiling blood.

His face also began to gain slightly sharper contours. These changes were not obvious yet; it could only be said that a trend had appeared, but...

The hair on his head, however, had a small lock directly change color, turning from blond to black. This was clearly a change caused by the Saiyan Blood.

On the bed.

Naruto did not move. Instead, he savored the changes in his body and felt the considerable improvement in his physique.

He could sense that his strength had increased somewhat, while his reaction speed and combat instincts had also improved slightly. Though the improvement was minor, a smile curled up at the corner of Naruto's lips.

After all, this was only one drop of Saiyan Blood. As long as he was willing, he could obtain more Experience Points and exchange them for more blood.

Naruto silently rose to his feet and walked to the mirror to carefully inspect his changes. The patch of black hair on his forehead made him frown.

He reached into the drawer with his right hand, took out his Goggles, and put them on, pressing down the black lock over his forehead and hiding it perfectly.

"One drop of Saiyan Blood has already begun changing me. Even if the improvement isn't much, combined with my own physique, it will definitely be a great help. If I obtain more Saiyan Blood in the future..."

A sharp glint flashed through Naruto's azure eyes. Something called ambition began to grow in his heart, because he thought of the Super Saiyan form and its world-destroying power.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto suppressed the thoughts in his heart and quickly calmed his emotions.

"I'll think about those things later. For now, I'll continue testing what I've gained." Naruto secretly muttered, closing his eyes and trying to refine the Qi of the Dragon Ball World.

For some reason, after obtaining that drop of Saiyan Blood, Naruto felt that he had a chance to refine Qi. Though the chance was slim, there was no harm in trying.

Naruto quietly closed his eyes and tried to refine Qi. Yet after trying for quite a while, he failed to produce any. Instead, as if possessed, he refined a large amount of Chakra.

As a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, his Chakra extraction speed had always been relatively fast, and he possessed a considerable amount of Chakra. This was something he had once been proud of, but now...

His stronger physique allowed him to refine far more Chakra than before, several times as much. Yet he felt helpless, because he had not refined any Qi.

"Forget it. I'll keep earning Experience Points. I'll deal with the Qi issue later. Saiyan Blood is the foundation." Naruto secretly said.

Lying back down on the bed, Naruto closed his eyes and quickly entered the Sealing Space.

Sealing Space.

The Nine-Tails was still confused, feeling as though something had happened today, yet it had no idea what it was. Helplessly, it continued lying within the seal, staring boredly outside.

"Hm?"

The suddenly appearing figure made the Nine-Tails narrow its eyes. It examined Naruto carefully again and found that he looked the same as before. It then stopped paying attention to him and decided to sleep.

But.

The Nine-Tails' wish to sleep was dashed, because Naruto walked over in front of it and stared at it closely.

"Nine-Tails, are you female or male?"

Naruto asked curiously. In his previous life, he had discussed this question with online friends. Logically speaking, the Nine-Tails was an aggregate of Chakra and should not have a sex, but because it had a male voice, many people believed it was male.

However.

He did not think so.

After all, the person who voiced Naruto in the anime was a woman. Did that mean Naruto was a woman? Therefore, he had never gotten an answer to this question in his previous life, which was why he asked it aloud.

But this question directly enraged the Nine-Tails. It snarled, "Brat, you have successfully angered me."

"I was just curious." Naruto wore an innocent expression and even shrugged.

"Shut up, brat. Being curious isn't allowed either." The Nine-Tails roared, feeling that Naruto was especially irritating today.

"Nine-Tails, do you not have a girlfriend?" Naruto asked again.

"Get lost."

[Experience Points +3]

"Actually, I have a secret. Nine-Tails, do you want to hear it?" Naruto moved close to the Nine-Tails and deliberately whispered in a mysterious tone.

"What secret?"

Seeing Naruto's manner, the Nine-Tails became curious as well. It stared intently at Naruto, waiting for his answer.

"You know Hinata, right? She's an incredibly cute, gentle, and kind girl. She likes me, and she'll become my girlfriend in the future."

"Get lost!" the Nine-Tails roared in fury.

"Don't get so worked up. You've been sealed in here for so long, you must be lonely. I can chat with you and relieve your boredom. Isn't that nice?" Naruto said.

"This..."

The Nine-Tails froze for a moment, feeling that it actually made some sense.

"See? It makes sense, right? Then communicate with me properly. Don't always lose your temper. Oh, right, you should be female, shouldn't you?" Naruto said.

"Get lost!!"

The Nine-Tails exploded with rage. It desperately wanted to swat the guy in front of it away with one paw. He was far too infuriating; it had never seen anyone like him.

"Relax, relax. I was just teasing you."

Naruto soothed the Nine-Tails before asking, "How old are you? You should be pretty old, right?"

"I!"

The Nine-Tails had just been soothed and was feeling a little better, but Naruto's next sentence made it want to go mad.

The furious Nine-Tails glared at Naruto, then directly turned its head away and refused to look at him again, lest it be angered half to death.

"It's getting smaller and smaller."

Naruto frowned as he looked at the blue Experience Orb beside the Nine-Tails and noticed that it had shrunk another circle. Clearly, it did not contain much Experience Points anymore.

"What will happen once this thing is fully absorbed? How do Experience Orbs increase? How strange."

Naruto was filled with doubts. Unable to understand the origin of Experience Orbs, he could only vaguely guess that plot characters had the highest chance of possessing them.

"I'll squeeze out a little more Experience Points, then go back." Naruto secretly said, giving the Nine-Tails a friendly smile.

Inside the seal.

For some reason, the lying Nine-Tails felt a little cold. It turned its head and happened to see Naruto's friendly smile. The smile seemed strange to it, as though it contained some deeper meaning.

But soon afterward, it finally understood what that smile represented. It was also a smile it never wanted to see again.

"Nine-Tails, you've been locked up for so long that you should have gained weight. Why is your butt still so small?"

"Nine-Tails, do you even have a sex? Can you reproduce?"

"Nine-Tails, lift your leg. Let me take a look."

"Get lost!!!"

The Nine-Tails roared with veins bulging on its forehead, its voice thick with frustration. This was far too damn infuriating.
