Complete-Form Shukaku

Boom boom boom!

The continuous explosions filled every corner of Konoha, plunging this once peaceful village into the ravages of war.

Naruto sat quietly on the sofa, eating the apple slices Hinata had cut for him, pondering the plot of the Chunin Ninja Exams.

"Gaara and the others left the village, Sasuke and Sakura went after them. Normally I should have followed them, but it seems the plot has gone a bit off track. Well, I'll get involved and kick the distorted plot back on track."

Naruto thought of Gaara during their battle in the forest, and he silently raised his hand.

Multi-Shadow Clone Technique!

Bang!

A Shadow Clone Technique suddenly appeared, standing quietly to the side, awaiting orders.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

The Shadow Clone Technique vanished from the villa with a whoosh, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Naruto, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Hinata, who had been anxiously listening to the sounds of battle outside, was now seeing this scene and hurriedly asked what was happening, her face filled with worry.

"It's alright, with me here, nothing else matters."

Naruto noticed Hinata's worry, and to comfort her, Naruto pinched Hinata cheek before looking at the apple slices.

"Hey, feed me."

As Naruto spoke, he leaned against Hinata's shoulder, lazily waiting for Hinata to feed him apple chunks.

"Naruto... Naruto."

Hinata looked at the shameless Naruto, feeling both shy and helpless. Her heart was pounding wildly, as lively as a little rabbit.

But Hinata never refused Naruto. Even when she was so shy she wanted to faint, she would still raise her small, white hand, pick up a piece of apple, and feed it to Naruto.

"Mmm, delicious, continue."

Naruto ate it without any hesitation, quietly enjoying Hinata's service, looking as leisurely as a lord.

Naruto shook her head helplessly at Hinata's state, and even gave him a reproachful glare.

Hinata didn't notice that this affected manner of hers was very rare, and it was even the first time she had ever acted this way since she was a child.

So Naruto was stunned for a moment, feeling a jolt from Hinata's posture, and thought that Hinata was exceptionally cute at that moment.

The thought of this adorable Hinata becoming his wife filled Naruto with joy, and he then took advantage of the situation.

"From now on, my little Hinata will feed me. That's settled."

As Naruto spoke, he continued to lean on Hinata's delicate shoulder, showing no intention of getting up.

Hinata was helpless about this and could only go along with Naruto's wishes.

Through this interaction, Hinata returned to her usual shy and warm demeanor, having previously been tense and worried.

[Experience Points +3]

Hearing the Experience Points notification, Naruto continued to snuggle up to Hinata, eating the apple slices she offered, while his consciousness sank into the system.

The Experience Points have been increasing rapidly, especially due to the Chunin Ninja Exams. I'm only 9 points away from the 500 Experience Points needed for a system upgrade.

In other words, he will soon be able to choose his next step. The only thing that makes Naruto hesitate is whether to Upgrade System first or to raise his bloodline to 100%.

Hinata actually prefers to raise her bloodline to 100%, since the idea of unlimited power increase with a 100% bloodline is very appealing to her.

Moreover, with his bloodline reaching 80%, he could freely enter the Super Saiyan, 2, and 3 states, an invincible state that excited him just thinking about it.

[Ding! Experience Points reached 500. Upgrade System now?]

[Ding! System upgrade will take three years. During the upgrade period, no Experience Points will be gained.]

"Um?"

Naruto frowned and sat up instantly.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Hinata was feeding him apple slices, but Naruto's sudden change puzzled Hinata.

"Fine."

Naruto leaned on Hinata's shoulder again, his consciousness quickly choosing to exchange bloodlines.

Instead of waiting three years for the system to upgrade, he should immediately raise his bloodline to 100%. That way, he can double his strength every year without even lying down. That feeling is truly amazing.

Therefore, Naruto made a very decisive choice.

[Ding! Exchange successful, you have obtained 50 drops of Saiyan Blood]

Bite!

Naruto: The Perfect Hybrid Saiyan

Bloodline: 80%

Abilities: 1,000 cubic meter space, Super Saiyan One, 2, and 3, transformation into Great Ape, and most Saiyan abilities...

Experience Points: 0

A warm current, like soaking in a hot spring, flowed through Naruto feel as if he had been elevated, and his overall strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

It's as if reaching 80% of the bloodline is a special threshold, a qualitative leap, and Naruto can sense that every 10% increase in the future will also be a qualitative leap.

Thinking about reaching 100% and having two more such qualitative leaps, Naruto's eyes gleamed with surprise.

"What's wrong, Naruto? You seem a bit hot."

Hinata, with Naruto leaning against her, immediately sensed the change in him.

"It's nothing, I just broke through in strength. Well, thanks to your help," Naruto teased.

"Huh? Thanks to my help?"

Hinata asked in a cute, slightly confused tone. She felt that she had only fed Naruto and hadn't really helped.

"Yes, my way of improving my strength is different from others. As long as you take care of me, my strength will increase rapidly. So are you willing to take care of me forever?"

"Huh?"

Hinata was somewhat bewildered, finding the situation rather unbelievable, but looking into Naruto's eyes, she still stammered, "I... I'm willing."

"Good boy/girl."

Naruto was just teasing Hinata, but he didn't expect this silly Hinata to be so heartwarming. Naruto even felt that he had gone a bit too far.

So he went even further and said, "My arms are sore, give me a massage."

After Naruto finished speaking, he stretched out his arm and placed it directly on Hinata's small hand, then looked at her mischievously.

"Um."

A voice like that of a kitten came out, Hinata lowered her head, raised her slender and delicate hand, and gently Naruto's hand, shyly unable to speak.

[Experience Points +3]

Outside Konoha, in the lush jungle.

With the Curse Mark on his face, Sasuke stared at Gaara opposite him. Gaara's body was half-monster-like, and Sasuke's expression became extremely solemn.

He never expected that Gaara, whom he was chasing, would possess such terrifying strength, so terrifying that even after he used Chidori several times, it had no effect.

Even.

He used Orochimaru's Curse Mark ability, but was still repeatedly defeated and suffered a terrible defeat, even being driven to the brink of despair.

Because.

Behind him lay the unconscious Sakura. If he retreated even one step, Sakura would be killed by Gaara. He had nowhere left to retreat.

"What should I do? What should I do? How can Gaara? I'm no match for him; he's no longer human."

Sasuke muttered Sasuke himself, his face pale. He had very little Chakra left, and even the black Curse Mark on his face couldn't provide him with any more help.

It can be said that under Gaara's attack, Sasuke reached a dead end, and he was completely defeated.

"Hahaha, Sasuke, is that all the strength you have? You're too weak. You can't even withstand an attack from one of my arms. How can you possibly stop my complete form?"

Gaara spoke arrogantly, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"Complete body?"

Sasuke's expression changed slightly upon hearing Gaara's words.

Gaara, whose body is half monster, is already this terrifying; what level would his complete form reach? Sasuke couldn't even imagine.

"What, scared? Hahaha, today I'll show you my true strength."

Bang!

With a deafening roar, a massive figure suddenly appeared. Amidst a terrifying gust of wind, the fully- One-Tail Shukaku appeared in the vast forest.

That towering, mountain-like figure, that aura of terrifying Chakra, that monstrous presence like a natural disaster—in an instant, Sasuke's eyes widened in shock, his gaze filled with nothing but horror.

"Hahaha, see that? This is my strength, this is my power, a power you can never comprehend."

Hidden within his perfect form, Gaara laughed arrogantly once more, especially upon seeing Sasuke's horrified expression, his laughter becoming even more unrestrained.

"Such strength, such strength."

Sasuke clenched his fists, his mind racing, but he couldn't come up with any solution.

Faced with such a display of power, and Gaara in his complete form, Sasuke was utterly helpless, completely powerless.

"Is this the end?" Sasuke looked up at the enormous Shukaku, feeling nothing but defeat and despair.

"Hahaha, now it's time to die."

Gaara suddenly raised his right hand, and terrifying sand transformed into a canopy that enveloped Sasuke. The sand, like ocean waves, instantly swept towards the desperate Sasuke and Sakura.

"Hello!"

A detached voice suddenly rang out, breaking the atmosphere.

Gaara, who was raising his arm, trembled upon hearing the voice and quickly looked towards a nearby tree.

There.

Naruto stood quietly, observing everything indifferently.

"You have three seconds: get out or die!"

Naruto looked at Gaara and spoke calmly, his voice still filled with indifference.

Gaara changed drastically upon hearing his words.

Then.

Gaara, under Sasuke's incredulous gaze, turned and fled, his massive Shukaku legs carrying him as he hurriedly escaped into the distance of the forest.

Bang bang bang bang!

The earth trembled slightly Shukaku had already run a great distance in a short time, a speed that left everyone else far behind.

Sasuke was completely dumbfounded by what he saw. He looked at Shukaku, who was running away with his tail between his legs, and then at Naruto, who was standing there indifferently. Sasuke stood there dumbfounded.

He never expected this.

The terrifying Shukaku, the Shukaku that was as powerful as a natural disaster, was scared away by Naruto's words, and the more importantly, it ran away so fast that it didn't even leave a harsh word behind.

This was truly unbelievable to Sasuke. His head was spinning, he was completely dumbfounded, and even his worldview had collapsed.

There was no way around it; the contrast was just too great. Gaara, who had beaten him to a pulp, was scared away by a single sentence from Naruto. This huge difference almost drove Sasuke to the brink of collapse.

However, at this moment, Sasuke suddenly remembered what Kakashi had mentioned about the Nine-Tails, and immediately said...

"Naruto, what did you use to scare him away? Was it the Nine-Tails' aura?"

"No."

Naruto looked at Sasuke with a strange expression, because he was just Shadow Clone Technique, how could he possibly use the Nine-Tails' aura? So he said indifferently, "Don't blink."

"What?"
