Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

Page 27

But today, Karin suddenly realized—she didn't need to follow Naruto; she could stand by Naruto's side.

"Thank you, Naruto. I think I know what to do now," Karin said earnestly.

"What? Oh, you mean sealing techniques?" Naruto asked, confused.

"Hmm...that's right."

Karin chuckled softly and stood up.

"Diamond Lockdown!"

In an instant, five golden phantom chains extended from Karin's back and tightly bound Naruto's body.

"How about it? This is a unique technique of our Uzumaki clan. Naruto will definitely be able to learn it very quickly."

Naruto touched the chains binding him, his expression somewhat surprised.

"What an amazing sealing technique! It even has a physical form. It can not only restrict the enemy's movements, but it can even be used as a weapon."

"That's what they say, but if Naruto wanted to, he could easily break free," Karin said, pouting.

The Nine-Tails, inside the seal, sensed the unpleasant aura and clicked its tongue, "What is this thing? What an offensive technique."

[So, Kurama, you also know about the Adamantine Sealing Chains?]

Just as Nine-Tails was about to say "You hate the Uzumaki clan," she noticed that it was the system asking the question and immediately adopted a respectful attitude.

"Yes, yes, after all, the previous Jinchuriki, Kushina, was also from the Uzumaki clan, and she once used this move against me... Of course, I have absolutely no resentment towards her."

I just wanted to gather some data from you. I haven't flirted with you since our first meeting, so why are you so afraid?

It's because the previous electric shocks were too unforgettable.

Nine-Tailed Fox didn't dare say these words aloud, but silently provided the system with the data for the Diamond Seal.

Naruto is easier to get along with.

Nine-Tailed Fox thought to itself.

The system completed the task in a short time.

[Analysis complete. The King Kong Lockdown has been entered into the database.]

At the same time, Naruto, who was outside, also had knowledge about the Adamantine Sealing Chains appear in his mind.

"Oh, I see."

Naruto used his strength to easily break free from Karin's restraints, and then tried it himself.

"Diamond Lockdown!"

Dozens of chains suddenly extended from behind Naruto, moving as if they were his own arms.

"Wow, what an amazing sealing technique! Thank you, Karin. I was able to learn it thanks to you."

Seeing that Naruto learned the moves she had practiced all day in just a few minutes, Karin felt no jealousy.

Naruto, one day, I will definitely become a woman worthy of standing by your side.

Chapter 35: The Final Chunin Exams Are Coming Soon

That day, Naruto was lying on the highest point of Mount Myōboku, basking in the sun.

With less than three days left until the final Chunin Exams, Naruto didn't feel much of a sense of crisis.

It's been almost two years since Naruto got to know the system, and he has become an all-around "ninjutsu professor" comparable to the Third Hokage. He is proficient in all kinds of techniques, including ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, medical ninjutsu, sealing techniques, sensory abilities, and more.

After all, most ninjutsu only require seeing it once, then having the system analyze it, and you'll learn it.

During his month at Mount Myōboku, he improved significantly. Having mastered Sage Mode, he was now the strongest in Konoha even without relying on the Nine-Tails' power.

"System, I'm already this powerful, when will I be able to become Hokage?"

[Regarding this, I've been laying the groundwork for you, building up your reputation. You are the son of the Fourth Hokage, and you've also become a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin. You have impeccable lineage, and aside from your young age, you almost perfectly meet the requirements to become Hokage.]

Of course, when faced with absolute strength, age is really not a problem.

"By the way, which is stronger, Sage Mode or borrowing the Nine-Tails' power?"

The Nine-Tails is stronger.

However, perhaps these two powers can be used simultaneously.

However, it requires the Nine-Tails' cooperation.

Upon hearing this, Naruto also entered his inner world and looked at Kurama with a puzzled expression.

"That stinky fox actually dares to disobey you, System?"

"Don't, don't talk nonsense! When have you ever asked for power and it didn't give it to you? I'm asking you!" Nine-Tails was anxious, feeling like the system was about to shock her again.

[That's definitely not the issue. I can sense that the Nine-Tails' power has other uses as well.]

【Nine-Tails, can you tell us?】

Nine-Tailed Fox scratched its big head, looking somewhat annoyed.

Although the system was very kind, Nine-Tailed Fox was always a little afraid of him.

"It's alright to tell you, under normal circumstances, to use the power of our tailed beasts, you need to go through a chakra tug-of-war. This is the proper route. Directly drawing them out like the system used to do is unheard of."

After hearing Kurama's explanation, Naruto still seemed a little confused: "If that's the case, then why don't you just give Kurama to us directly?"

Nine-Tails paused for a moment, then suddenly flew into a rage.

"Don't push your luck, kid! It's you disgusting humans who sealed me away. If I'm not angry, do you expect me to be grateful to you?!"

"Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, Uzumaki Mito, Kushina, and the system—you humans are all the same!"

[I did shock you, that's true, but Naruto didn't. You can give your power to him, you don't need to give it to me. Just be good to him. Don't you two chat sometimes?]

"Don't joke around, I just thought this kid was easy to fool, so I tried to trick him!"

"Come on! If you want my power, come and take it!"

The Nine-Tails roared incessantly within the seal, prepared to die rather than submit even if it meant being electrocuted.

But to his surprise, the system did nothing and remained standing there expressionless, not even Naruto seemed particularly angry.

"Nine-Tails, I've said it before, the Hokage I want to be is one who surpasses all previous Hokage. Since they couldn't reconcile with you, then I'll take on this task."

Naruto clenched his right fist and placed it in front of his heart, his expression very serious.

"What reconciliation? Didn't I kill your parents too? Do you dare say you don't hate me, and they don't hate me?!"

Kurama stared intently at Naruto's face, hoping to see even the slightest trace of resentment.

"Yes."

"What did you say?"

“When we last met, Dad and Mom said they didn’t hate you. Dad sealed you inside me in the hope that one day with my help you could reconcile with humanity.”

"Besides, the Nine-Tailed Night was also because you were controlled by someone. In that case, how about we join forces, find that guy, and take him down?"

As he spoke, Naruto raised his fist, gesturing for Kurama to bump fists with him.

However, after staring at Naruto for a while, Kurama suddenly shouted, "Stop with this cheesy stuff, hmph!"

The system and Naruto were then expelled from the seal.

The system tried it out, and as usual, Kurama didn't refuse to lend chakra when asked to do so. It's just that Kurama might not have thought it through yet regarding opening its heart.

[If necessary, I can forcibly enter the seal to engage in a chakra tug-of-war, and victory is assured.]

Naruto shook his head to stop the system: "Don't do that. I would prefer that Kurama lends its power to me willingly."

"Since the Nine-Tails approach isn't working, what other ways are there to further enhance our strength?"

"By the way, System, you're so powerful. If you could come out and fight alongside me, no one would be a match for us!"

Regarding this, it might not be impossible.

"What should we do?" Naruto asked eagerly.

He always considered the system his best friend, so Naruto felt very sorry that the system could only stay inside his body.

Now that he knows he can meet the system in the real world, how could he not be happy?

The answer lies in using shadow clones.

"Shadow clone?"

Yes, while shadow clones possess self-awareness, they are ultimately the same person as the caster. However, during the duration of the shadow clone's effect, their consciousnesses are separate.

[Therefore, we can try using this system as the consciousness of the shadow clone when creating it.]

"Okay, let's try it now!"

Without hesitation, Naruto immediately formed hand seals to prepare to create shadow clones.

"The system is coming!"

【Um. 】

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

boom!

Looking at the shadow clone in front of him, Naruto could sense that it was different from usual.

"How did it go? Did you succeed?" Naruto asked excitedly.

"Unfortunately, no." The system's voice appeared in Naruto's mind.

"Huh? But I can sense that this time is definitely different from before?"

[That's right, there is a difference, except that this shadow clone has no consciousness at all.]
