This Naruto is a player.

Chapter 5 This Nine-Tailed Fox is Huge!

First recharge gift pack?

Upon seeing the gleaming gold gift package, Naruto instinctively glanced at the price.

Only 10 taels?
That's only 1 yuan. Is that considered a benefit?

He thought this thing would be similar to other commodities, costing at least 100 taels.

It's only 10 taels, I bought it.

[You have purchased the first recharge gift pack. Please check your inventory.]
Opening the backpack, a gift pack lay inside. This gift pack was very similar in appearance to the newbie gift pack, as if they were made from the same mold.

Naruto selected the gift pack and opened it.

[You have obtained: Three-Body Technique, 10 High-Quality Kunai, 100 High-Quality Shuriken]
This.

"The drop rate seems to have returned to normal."

Maybe if the game is restored, the original bug will be gone?
That's a bit of a waste of facial expressions.

Naruto thought there would be another newbie gift pack, with one unique pack and two limited packs.

He was all ready to celebrate.

Is this the result?

Naruto looked at his backpack again.

This backpack isn't very big; it has 9x9 compartments and can hold a total of 81 items.

However, this backpack seems to be stackable.

The newly acquired kunai and shuriken only occupy two slots in total, and a small number indicates the number of them stacked.

'These are the weapons of the ninja world?'

Seeing the two weapons lying in the backpack, Naruto guessed.

The kunai has a rather strange design, looking like a spearhead with a handle, while the other type is the four-cornered shuriken that Naruto recognizes.

Naruto took out a kunai and held it in his hand.

The blade was very sharp, and the handle was a bit too big for his small hands.

However, isn't the name reversed?

Naruto was a bit confused at that moment.
Doesn't this kunai look more like a shuriken?
Could it be a translation error?
Naruto put away the shuriken. Hmm, he put away the kunai. These things don't really matter; all he needs to know is what they're called.

His gaze fell on the three scrolls in his backpack.

These items, along with kunai and shuriken, appeared in my backpack at the same time. I suppose this is the basic ninjutsu, the Three Body Technique, that I mentioned in my conversation with the old man earlier? He previously thought it was some kind of 'supernatural power,' so he traded three grilled fish for the detailed hand seal instructions.

Naruto took out one of the scrolls, ready to see if it was as the old man had said.

As soon as I took it out, a notification popped up.

[Do you want to learn: Shadow Clone Technique?]
Is this a skill scroll?
Naruto decisively chose: Yes.

[You have acquired the skill: Clone Technique 1/100 (Beginner)]
[Your clone technique proficiency +3600]
As his proficiency increased, a vast amount of knowledge and skills flooded into Naruto's mind. It was as if he had already practiced this skill thousands or tens of thousands of times, and was already so familiar with it that he couldn't be more familiar with it.

+3600?

Oh, it's the SSSSSS talent that's coming into play.

Take a look at the skills.

Clone Technique: 3601/5000 (Master)
"Sure enough."

Seeing this, Naruto chose to immediately learn two more skills.

The SSSSSS talent continues to deliver consistent power.

Substitution Jutsu: 3601/5000 (Master)
Transformation: 3601/5000 (Master)
Looking at the three ninjutsu he had just learned, Naruto was filled with pride.

Ninjutsu? Easy peasy!
However, none of these three skills seem to be very useful.

Clone Technique: The clones are shadows that can only confuse others; they have no physical form and cannot be used to attack.

Substitution Technique: This can only be used to take hits.

Transformation Jutsu: Although he can transform into other people, even if he becomes the Hokage, he will still be at his own level of strength.

He took a throwing star out of his backpack. ...No, a shuriken.

Naruto held it in his hands and played with it, and then... he started to lose control.

He opened the newbie gift pack and got a unique talent of rarity. He thought this was the normal level of the game, so he opened the game with high expectations, only to find that was it.
No, man.

Not only did he fail to use any of the three ninjutsu, but he also couldn't use this little thing at all. Even if he could, so what?

Could this little dart really kill someone?
"I should have chosen C. Kurama (the Nine-Tails) wasn't bad either." Naruto muttered to himself, then suddenly remembered something.

He quickly opened the properties panel.

Status: Yang Nine-Tailed Fox (Sealed) (Retrievable).

In this section, the green "Recyclable" label shines brightly.

Naruto didn't know where this recyclable Nine-Tails came from.

Inside his body, that is his.

He saw it in the mall.

That crimson fox with nine tails, I don't know if it's male or female, is called Nine-Tailed Fox.

Its price is 20 RMB, or 200 million taels.

He was just amazed by the game's pay-to-win aspect and by the rich guy's wealth, but now he's not jealous anymore.

Because this money will be his soon! 20 yuan, 200 million taels, even if the buyback price is only half, it will still be 100 million taels, right?
With that kind of money, wouldn't I be able to buy every single skill in the skill shop?

but.

Naruto gritted his teeth and made a great effort to resist the temptation.

This stems from his life philosophy.

When the situation is unclear, maintaining the status quo is often the best option.
Naruto didn't know how the Nine-Tails came to be, but there must be a reason why it appeared inside him.

Naruto decided that he wouldn't touch this guy until he figured out the reason.

"But where exactly is this guy?"

Naruto searched high and low but couldn't find any trace of the guy.

Finally, his gaze fell on his stomach.

There was a bunch of symbols there, some kind of unintelligible.

Naruto initially thought it was some kind of unknown tattoo, but after learning about the existence of sealing techniques, he realized it was some kind of seal.

"A seal? Is it necessary?"

Recalling the animal in the demonstration video, which was barely taller than weeds and looked to be at most the size of a large dog, Naruto said he didn't understand.

Is that little thing really that destructive?
"Never mind," Naruto sighed inwardly.

He still knows too little about this world.

Naruto put the shuriken back into his backpack and opened the skill room again.

If I remember correctly, today is April 30th.

He'll receive a living allowance of 3 taels tomorrow. That's enough to buy resurrection coins and several powerful ninjutsu.

By then, his safety should be guaranteed.

Naruto closed the skill room, looking at the four functions with a rather boring expression.

The in-game store and skill shop are only tempting if you don't have money.

The Duel Arena is inaccessible. According to the instructions, the minimum entry level is Genin.

It seems there's only one training ground left.

So Naruto decided to go for a stroll around the training grounds.

click to enter.

A loading screen popped up, displaying several options.

地图大小有1x1、10x10、100x100、还有收费的1000x1000，单位是千米。

Naruto decisively chose the free option, the largest one, 100x100.

There are many terrain options to choose from, and Naruto randomly selects seven terrain options: plains, islands, hills, mountains, forests, lakes, and seas.

For the specific map, simply select random generation.

The next moment, everything went black.

Then, I felt a solid sensation under my feet, and breathed in fresh air through my nose again.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw a plain before him, with a forest in the distance.

He turned his head, and not far behind him was a huge lake, and beyond the lake, a large river connected it to the ocean.

"This sunlight, this air, this breeze, and this texture. How is this any different from reality?"

Naruto was somewhat dazed as he sensed everything in the training ground.

If his surroundings hadn't changed, he would have thought he was still in reality.

Just as he was exploring the place further.

Ow~~~
An indescribable, enormous roar resounded.

That scream was terrifying; it startled Naruto.

He had never heard such a huge and terrifying roar.

This enormous roar seemed to transport Naruto back to his past life.

That was the first time he watched the Long March 5 rocket launch, and the sound of the huge rocket launching was unforgettable for him.

The resonance of those sound waves with the air, even from several kilometers away, still resonated in his chest. It was the first time he had truly experienced that sound is a wave.

On that one occasion, Naruto's megalophobia kicked in, and if the rocket hadn't been just an inanimate object, he would have turned and run away.

At that moment, an equally enormous sound seemed to tear the air apart, and the tremendous roar made him tremble.

Dong Dong~~
The earth seemed to be trembling, and Naruto knew that it was the monster moving around.

Then, at the other end of the forest, a giant creature finally appeared, with nine tails swaying behind it.

What is this? The Nine-Tailed Fox?
Naruto found it hard to believe.

Is the Nine-Tails really that big?
That's pretty cool.

Why didn't this battle pet look this big in the store?
Click to take another look.

Hey!
I initially thought the lush greenery under the nine-tailed fox in the demonstration video was grass, but now I realize it's actually trees.

Careless.

At that moment, the monster spotted Naruto and gradually approached.
