Bloodline Upgrade Scroll

"Be a good boy and drink your milk. I specifically got this for you. You've been drinking it for so many years, what difference does it make if you keep drinking it from now on?"

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja held a short blade and continued speaking in Naruto's ear like a demon.

He originally did not want to do this, but the two faces flashing through his mind made his resolve completely unshakable.

Naruto trembled all over, filled with fear and anger.

Yet he quickly forced himself to calm down, keeping his tone as steady as possible as he said, "You wouldn't dare kill me, or you're dead too!"

Naruto knew that as a Jinchūriki, there was no way the other person would kill him. At this moment, the other party was merely trying to intimidate him.

At this thought, hope rekindled in his heart.

"Heh heh, you seem quite smart, not at all like your dull and foolish self from before!"

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja said in surprise, though he did not care about that. He put away his short blade, kicked Naruto down with one foot, stepped on him, and looked down at Naruto from above:

"Even if you go make a complaint to the Third Hokage, I'm not afraid. What proof do you have?"

As he spoke, the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja gripped the carton of milk.

"If you go, I'll destroy the evidence. Even if the Third Hokage believes you, it will only mean getting transferred away from here. My comrades will continue to keep an eye on you. Did you think I was the only one buying you expired food?"

Naruto's chest was heavily trampled by the other's right foot. The sharp waves of pain instead allowed him to thoroughly calm down, and even his gaze turned icy.

He knew what the other person was saying was entirely possible.

Even if his comrades had never secretly abused him, they probably wouldn't treat him well either; otherwise, how could the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja have gotten away with it for so many years?

Therefore, the option of reporting this to the Third Hokage was a dead end!

Bang!

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja kicked Naruto hard in the stomach once more. Seeing his expression of pain, he smugly brought the milk to Naruto's lips and commanded:

"Drink it, and I'll tell you why we treat you this way!"

"Do I have any other choice?" Naruto asked coldly, looking at the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja.

"None!" the other replied with certainty.

At that moment, Naruto completely gave up hope. He looked at the system interface in his mind and decisively made the second choice.

"Demon Choice: Kill the Anbu Ninja once and for all."

"You forced me to do this!"

"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for making a choice. Reward: 1 [Bloodline Upgrade Scroll]. Please complete the task within one day, or the reward will be reclaimed!"

The [Bloodline Upgrade Scroll] could enhance all Kekkei Genkai and special physical constitution abilities, while simultaneously upgrading all skills tied to the bloodline.

Naruto looked at the golden scroll that had suddenly appeared in his hand and immediately tore it open. In an instant, the scroll turned into a ball of golden light that enveloped his entire body and quickly vanished.

This sight left the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja staring in a daze.

Inside Naruto's body, a surge of warmth appeared, nourishing his limbs and bones with an exquisite, comforting sensation.

In some mysterious way, he felt that his proficiency with the newly acquired skills—[Adamantine Sealing Chains], [Physical Healing], [Mind's Eye of the Kagura], and [Fuinjutsu Talent]—had grown even greater, and his chakra reserves had increased substantially once again!

Feeling himself grow somewhat stronger once more, he raised his head and smiled coldly at the dazed Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja:

"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

"Whoosh!"

Several golden chains darted out from behind Naruto, binding the completely unreacting Anbu Ninja tightly with lightning speed!

He then set up a barrier all around, completely masking the situation here.

This innate divine technique of the Uzumaki Clan could even seal the Nine-Tails, let alone an Anbu Ninja!

The mysterious runes flashing across the golden chains possessed the ability to seal everything, leaving the opponent completely unable to use chakra or break free to escape.

Naruto stood up, kicked the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja down to the ground, and using the exact same method, landed several fierce kicks to his chest and abdomen.

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja suffered agonizing pain throughout his body. Though his face was hidden by the mask, panic and suffering were undoubtedly plastered across it right now.

"You—you demon fox, what kind of scroll did you just get? And how on earth do you know the unique techniques of the Uzumaki Clan?!" The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Why give me expired, spoiled food? Why humiliate me like this?! Did the Third tell you to do this?!"

Looking down at the other from above, Naruto didn't answer the question, asking coldly instead.

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja's mind was somewhat in a panic. What was happening right now completely exceeded his expectations, making him suspect that the Naruto Uzumaki before him had been transformed from another ninja using a transformation technique.

Yet that was impossible, because Naruto Uzumaki was under round-the-clock surveillance by their Anbu, and this was inside Konoha after all.

Still, how had Naruto Uzumaki suddenly been able to use the Uzumaki Clan's Adamantine Sealing Jutsu? And what was that golden scroll?

There had to be a huge secret surrounding Naruto Uzumaki; this intelligence had to be reported to the Third Hokage immediately.

"Slap! Slap slap!"

Naruto ruthlessly delivered several hard slaps across the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja's face: "Speak! Why did you do this?!"

Seeing himself slapped across the face by this demon fox brat, the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja felt anger well up in his heart and spoke coldly:

"Because you're a demon fox!"

"Slap slap slap! What utter bullshit! As an Anbu Ninja, are you really just as clueless as those stupid villagers outside, knowing nothing at all?!"

Naruto continued to scold angrily:

"Why were you keeping tabs on me? Wasn't it because I'm the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki?! Where do you get off calling me a demon fox!"

"What?!" The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja felt his mental fortitude begin to crack, staring at Naruto with wide-open eyes: "Y-you, how do you know you're a Jinchūriki?!"

"I also know my father is the Fourth Hokage who saved the entire village, and my mother was the previous Nine-Tails Jinchūriki! They were both heroes of Konoha!"

The more Naruto spoke, the angrier he became. Grievances and bitterness over the mistreatment and humiliation he had suffered welled up in him, and tears nearly spilled from his eyes.

At this moment, he had truly cast himself into the role of the original Naruto.

With that thought, Naruto began relentlessly slapping the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja's face again.

"Slap slap slap! As the child of heroes, not only did I fail to receive the treatment I deserved, but I've been subjected to all kinds of insults and abuse from you guys ever since I was born? What did I do wrong!"

"Just because of my identity as a Jinchūriki? But Mito Uzumaki and my mother were both Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, why weren't they treated like this before?!"

"Because Mito Uzumaki was the wife of the First Hokage! My mother had Mito Uzumaki shielding her at first, and later she had the Fourth Hokage shielding her! And me? Just because I'm an orphan with no one to rely on, that's why the village arranged things for me like this!"

"Slap slap slap! Slap slap slap!"

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja was utterly dumbfounded!

It wasn't just that what Naruto said completely overturned his impression of him! He never imagined that Naruto would know so many deep secrets!

As a result, the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja gradually lost his sanity and shouted aloud:

"Just because your damned mother insisted on giving birth to you, the Nine-Tails got out, and my father died at the hands of the Nine-Tails! Wouldn't everything have been fine if she hadn't gotten pregnant?!"

Naruto paused, not expecting the other person to hate him for such a reason, but the next moment he struck even harder!

"You idiot! How can you say something so selfish! Was my mother supposed to selflessly dedicate her whole life to Konoha? Did she not even have the right to get pregnant?"

Naruto felt like he was losing his mind, his rage gradually overwhelming his reason.

He pulled out the remaining clay ant from his pocket and violently hurled it toward the Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja bound by the chains.

The opponent began to struggle fiercely, but it was all in vain as the clay ant had already adhered to his body.

Just then, Naruto's door was battered violently, and the angry cursing of the fat landlord rang out from outside:

"Damn you, accursed demon fox, open the door for your old man right now! If you hadn't brought me bad luck, how could my shop have exploded? I already went to the Third to propose executing you, but before that, I'm going to give you a serious beating!"

With a ferocious expression and red, bloodshot eyes, Naruto looked back toward the door that was on the verge of being kicked open, formed hand seals with both hands, and roared at the top of his lungs:

"Go to hell, all of you!"

"Rumble!"

The Dog-Faced Anbu Ninja was blown straight into pieces, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Naruto was also blasted backward through the air by the explosion, colliding head-on with the fat landlord who had just kicked the door open.

The aftershock of the blast hurled both of them directly out the window and down to the floor below.

Bearing Naruto's weight and the impact of the fall, the fat landlord crashed hard onto the ground downstairs and instantly vomited blood, dying on the spot!

Naruto himself was in bad shape too. Though he survived, he suffered severe injuries and passed out cold.
