This Naruto is a player.

Chapter 7
"here it is?"

The water on the ground reached up to my calves, the light was dim, and the air was damp.

Naruto doesn't like this kind of place.

He turned around and saw a huge iron railing, the pillars of which were thicker than a person.

Let's look further inside.

Isn't this the Nine-Tailed Fox that's running around like a silly dog ​​during the day?
Naruto smiled; he already understood what was going on.

But, haha... how come it's all alone, no, a fox is locked up here?

Seemingly sensing Naruto's emotions, Kurama rolled over and made some noise to remind Naruto that it was still there.

Naruto burst out laughing.

He laughed because the Nine-Tails in the training ground didn't seem to match the one in front of him. The little Nine-Tails in the training ground was like a silly dog, with its mouth open, tongue sticking out, and pupils wide open, running and rolling around like crazy, overturning countless flowers and plants.

What now?
Could it be that the Nine-Tailed Fox thought he was too busy cultivating to see it at the time?

Now you're actually putting on a serious act in front of him.

"Not going to say anything? Pretending to be profound? Then I'm leaving!"

Without waiting for its response, Naruto turned and left.

"Kid."

Sure enough, Nine-Tails called out to him.

There was no way around it; the Nine-Tails simply craved freedom too much!

This is something that veteran inmates who have been imprisoned for decades can certainly understand and empathize with deeply.

What's more, there's social interaction in prison, but this place is a more terrifying form of solitary confinement than prison.

After experiencing those two hours of unbridled freedom, Nine-Tails yearned for it even more.

If it weren't for those two hours, it definitely wouldn't care, after all, it's been doing this for decades and it's used to it.

But now, all it wants is 'one more puff'.

"Kid, can you really go to places like that during the day?"

“Okay,” Naruto replied.

"Nana."

Nine-Tails felt like it couldn't open its mouth.

Who would have thought that this nine-tailed beast, a tough guy who had spent his life wandering the world unrestrained, had never humbled himself to beg anyone before.

"I like making friends, so I can take you with me when I go there in the future," Naruto said on its behalf.

"But, only for one hour each day."

"No, five!" Nine-Tails stretched out a claw to bargain.

Naruto said decisively, "At most, one hour."

"If you keep haggling, I'm leaving. And let me tell you, once I leave, there will be no more chances to negotiate," Naruto threatened, seeing that it still wanted to bargain.

"Hmph!" Nine-Tails snorted loudly, which was taken as an agreement.

"In that case, I'll be going."

"Wait, brat." Nine-Tails suddenly called out to him, asking, "How long is an hour?"

what?
Naruto was speechless. "If you don't know how long an hour is, then what were you arguing with me about?"
'This Nine-Tails is a bit naive.'

Naruto muttered to himself, "It's about half the length of today's episode."

"Only half?" Nine-Tails jumped up.

"You think it's not enough for free? I'm only giving you so much time because we're friends. Are you threatening me? Then there's nothing to talk about. I'm leaving now."

"you"

Nine-Tails suppressed himself, but finally squatted down again.

Something is better than nothing.

"Kid." Kurama wanted to speak again, but Naruto interrupted him.

"Don't call me brat. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. You can call me Naruto."

Naruto introduced himself, and then asked, "What's your name? What's your name?"

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails stared at him intently without answering.

'It's just a name, is it that hard to answer?'

Thinking this, Naruto threatened again, "Not going to talk? Then I'm leaving. If I leave, all the talk we had before will have been for nothing."

Naruto turned to leave.

"and many more."

Once this brat leaves, I can never go to that kind of place again. Seeing this, Nine-Tails gritted his teeth and, in a fit of desperation, said, "Nine-Tails."

"Nine Lama, is that your name? Then we'll be friends from now on."

"Friends?" Nine-Tails muttered to itself and then ignored it. Hmph, you want to be friends with me, Nine-Tails? You're far from it.

Naruto thought about it and decided that he should give them a little something in return.

He said, "As a testament to our friendship, we'll let you in for two hours tomorrow."

Two hours? The same as today?
Nine-Tails was somewhat surprised, seemingly having been a little manipulated.

"Don't complain about the short time. You know, even I would have to spend a lot of effort to get into that kind of place, and I can't stay there for long each day."

Nine-Tailed Fox believed this; maintaining such a place would definitely require a huge investment. After figuring it out, it didn't hate the little guy as much anymore.

It even wondered what help it could offer to extend the days so it could have more free time.

But it abruptly stopped.

It has nine tails, it's a tough guy, not a dog.

"Since we've reached an agreement, I'll be leaving. But how do I leave?"

Huh? Upon hearing this, Kurama nearly died of shock.

You don't even know how to leave, yet you're threatening me like this?
"Haha, just kidding, goodbye." With that, he disappeared.

Seeing this, Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned for a moment.

"That brat."

After a helpless sigh, seeing that the kid had left and no one could see him, Nine-Tails' eyes narrowed with joy.

Tomorrow I can run happily again.

It's just that the time is a bit short.

Suddenly remembering something, Kurama immediately withdrew all the overflowing red chakra, then converted it into pure chakra, and let it overflow again.

Its Nine-Tails' chakra energy is rampant, and a small child cannot absorb it well; it can even cause side effects. This pure chakra is different.

After absorbing it, this brat gains a significant amount of chakra every day.

Although refining pure chakra takes a lot of effort, this kid—no, he himself—is worth it.

Naruto becoming stronger equals more free time; even Kurama (the Nine-Tails) understands mathematics.

Moreover, I have a lot of chakra, and I can output enough every day, so it doesn't matter if I waste it.

This is definitely not to help Naruto, but for his own benefit.

Well, that's it.

Thinking of Naruto's idea of ​​'friends', Kurama closed its eyes. Ha, a human brat dares to dream of being my friend.

the next day.

Naruto got up early.

Previously, his living expenses would appear on the table when he woke up, so Naruto planned to go back early to get the money and avoid any unforeseen problems.

Just before setting off, Naruto suddenly remembered something.

In broad daylight, as he walked along, he didn't know how many hateful glares he would receive from others. Naruto was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist hitting them.

So, he was ready to become someone else.

With that in mind, he opened the panel and glanced at the chakra.

Today we're going to learn advanced skills, so we need to get our chakra up!

But that one glance was enough to freeze him in place.

Chakra: 2172/2172 (C)

（增加20(幼)x（1+200%+5000%）x2 =2120/天）
（恢复1%(幼)x（1+200%+2000%）x2= 46%/小时）

How did it double?

After reviewing more detailed messages and records, I finally figured it out.

"So it was the Nine-Tails."

I didn't realize this guy was so sensible; he knows to pay rent.

Taking the opportunity, Naruto glanced at the panel again.

Not much has changed.

Hand seal speed +20, Chakra control +10.

The SSSSSS talent is still working its magic.

At this moment, Naruto had a deeper understanding of this unique SSSSSS talent.

This kind of thing is passive; it won't be realized immediately, but rather slowly.

Although the rewards are slow to materialize, the rate of increasing by 20 or 10 points per day is still terrifying, even considering that the average person reaches the maximum level of 100 points.

Naruto knew that the huge increase in numbers wouldn't continue indefinitely.

Detailed information is available within the game.

Below 70 points: 1:1
71-80 points: 2:1
81-90 points: 5:1
91-95 points: 10:1
96-100 points: 20:1
101-500 points: 50:1
意思是，到达100点之后，每1点属性值的增加相当于70点以下时增加50点属性值，101-103之间的2点差距，相当于0-82点的差距。

However, that's not what Naruto should be concerned about right now; his task is to get his living expenses.

Wei → Hai → Chou → Xu → Yin

Transformation.

bang~
After the smoke cleared, an old man appeared in the same spot.

It was the old man I had just met a few days ago.

This old man is just an ordinary person, and he's a lonely old man. He certainly won't attract attention. It would be perfectly fine to have him go back.

Naruto looked him up and down and thought it did look quite similar; his maxed-out transformation technique was no joke.

Seeing that it was almost time, Naruto set off to go home.

In the form of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
