Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

"I like Konoha Village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt somewhat relieved; it was true that he listened to Naruto.

Many fragments of the past suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"Hiruzen, Minato and Kushina have left behind too much wealth. How can a child manage it? The village is in dire need of money right now!"

"We must prioritize the village!"

"Hiruzen, since you're unwilling to do it, I'll do it."

After the Fourth Hokage's sacrifice, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't really think much about the issue of his legacy; in his subconscious, it belonged to Naruto.

Danzo and his two advisors offered opposing views, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi to hesitate. While he was still pondering, Danzo had already finished his business, so Hiruzen had no choice but to give up.

"Third generation, this child is entrusted to you."

But the words Minato entrusted his son to him still lingered in his ears.

“Naruto,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly, “your father was the Fourth Hokage, your mother was the previous Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and you are the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.”

After saying this, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

"What is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" The system focused on this unfamiliar term.

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought Naruto would be surprised that he was the son of a hero, or even angry about the malice he suffered that was not commensurate with his status. However, he did not expect that Naruto had a strong thirst for knowledge.

"That means the Nine-Tails is sealed inside you." Hiruzen Sarutobi said sadly, "I told you before that your parents died on the night of the Nine-Tails. The truth that night was that a villain broke the seal on the Nine-Tails and controlled it to destroy Konoha. Your parents sacrificed themselves to seal the Nine-Tails inside you, who has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan."

At this point, Hiruzen Sarutobi cleared his throat, about to say something like "Heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon this person," when Naruto asked again, "What is so special about the Uzumaki clan's bloodline?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback for a moment, then casually said, "Abundant chakra, strong recovery ability, and powerful sealing techniques."

"So, Naruto, do you know how special you are, and how heavy the responsibility on your shoulders is?" Hiruzen Sarutobi smoothly steered the conversation back to what he wanted to express.

"Your parents sacrificed themselves for Konoha; they were heroes filled with the Will of Fire."

"Where the leaves dance in the air, the fire will never be extinguished."

"Naruto, do you understand?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked expectant, but inwardly he was also a little nervous.

"Okay, I understand." The system nodded expressionlessly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the system.

"Is there anything else?"

"What happened today..."

“I did nothing wrong and have no reason to be punished. If you insist on an explanation, then go find those who made the mistakes.”

boom.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at the closed door in front of him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Nine-Tails' chakra within Naruto was genuine, he would have suspected that the Naruto in front of him was an imposter.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to observe further.

After placing the bag of instant noodles at the door and saying goodbye to Naruto through the door, Hiruzen Sarutobi left.

……

Naruto was still processing the massive amount of information, while the system was analyzing it.

[What Hiruzen Sarutobi said this time is logical, his emotional expression doesn't seem fake, and it meets hypothesis 42. Conclusion: Hiruzen Sarutobi is undoubtedly telling the host about his background.]

Naruto was taken aback: "System, you knew all along that the Third Hokage was lying to me?"

[Hiruzen Sarutobi's previous words don't hold up to scrutiny, and he always changes the subject whenever the host tries to clarify things; there's an 80% probability he's lying.]

"So, System, you did all this today just to help me find out about my background?"

The host's second goal is to gain everyone's approval, therefore I deduce that it is necessary to first figure out why the host is hostile to the villagers of Konoha.

Naruto felt a warmth in his heart: "Thank you, System."

[Now begin eating to replenish your energy. After eating, we will attempt to make contact with the previously unknown entity, the target suspected to be the Nine-Tails.]

"Huh? System, you want to make contact with Kurama?" Naruto exclaimed in shock.

After all, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's account, the Nine-Tails is a calamity, and could even be described as the enemy who killed Naruto's parents, so it must be extremely terrifying.

[In the past, when the host refined chakra to use ninjutsu, abnormal chaos often occurred, which I deduced was related to the Nine-Tails.]

[Impaired chakra control will severely hinder the host's use of ninjutsu, significantly slowing down the achievement of objectives; this needs to be addressed.]

[At the same time, because it is sealed, the Nine-Tails likely harbors deep hatred for its host, yet it also seems to provide power when the host's body is in danger. The most likely hypothesis is that the two have a symbiotic relationship; if one dies, the other will also die.]

"Isn't this...isn't this dangerous?" Naruto still had some concerns.

"Host, do you know what the strengths of this system are?" the system suddenly asked.

"Huh? Self-discipline?" Naruto said, thinking of the system's terrifying perseverance today.

Firstly, its computational and analytical capabilities enable the system to formulate subsequent plans and adapt to changing circumstances.

Secondly, it is what the host refers to as "self-discipline," or more accurately, absolute control over the body.

"Tick...tick..."

When Naruto opened his eyes again, he found that his location had changed; he had gone from a familiar room to a dark, damp sewer.

"Where am I?" Naruto looked around.

Arriving in an unfamiliar place so suddenly, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The most likely location is the space within the host's body where the Nine-Tails is sealed.

"Ah, system."

Yes, I'm here.

Knowing that he had friends with him, Naruto felt much more at ease and remembered the purpose of his visit.

"So...we're going to go find the Nine-Tails next, right? But we don't know where it is."

We've arrived at that point.

Naruto subconsciously looked up and was immediately struck by a towering, seemingly endless red fence gate.

Behind the door, a hideous, huge fox face covered in fur was glaring at Naruto.

"Hey kid, you've got some nerve! You've been ignoring me the whole time, what are you muttering to yourself about!"

"Roar!"

The giant fox roared and fiercely thrust its claws toward Naruto.

The enormous claw pierced through the fence gate, but stopped at the last second, almost touching Naruto's throat.

Why not avoid it?

Because I'm not afraid.

Why aren't you afraid?

"Because...you can't hurt me."

The giant fox narrowed its eyes, staring intently at Naruto.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but for a moment, the kid opposite him seemed like a completely different person, his aura had undergone a dramatic change.

The sentence "You can't hurt me" was spoken in a very calm tone, as if it were just stating a fact, like "the sun rises in the east."

Deep inside, Naruto took a deep breath.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid; he was just an eleven-year-old child, and the other party's malice was so heavy and so undisguised.

So the system intervened and took over the body.

"You're the Nine-Tails?"

Faced with the system's question, Nine-Tailed Fox slowly retracted its claws, revealing a mocking smile.

"So what if it's me?"

The system nodded, then abruptly said, "So, you're the one who killed my parents?"

Kurama was taken aback; he hadn't expected Konoha to tell Naruto about this.

But then he burst into unrestrained laughter.

"That's right, it's me! Who told your damned parents to dare seal me, the mighty Nine-Tailed Fox, into a brat like you!"

As it spoke, Kurama opened its blood-red maw, as if to swallow Naruto whole.

However, the system in front of him remained expressionless, showing no fear or even hatred towards him.

As a collection of hatred, betrayal, and loathing, Kurama possesses the ability to sense emotions.

No matter how hard he tried to sense it, even with his eyes wide open, he couldn't detect the slightest emotion from the other person. It was as if he wasn't facing a person, but rather a completely still lake.

Seeing that it hadn't scared Naruto, Kurama had no choice but to obediently shut its mouth and let out a cold snort.

With the seal in place, he indeed cannot harm Naruto.

However, Naruto is also powerless against him. Even in the hateful chakra tug-of-war, how could Naruto be a match for him now?

Thinking of this, Kurama couldn't help but feel a sense of mental victory.

However, the next moment, Nine-Tails felt as if he had been electrocuted all over his body, making him dizzy.

what happened?

Before Nine-Tails could figure out what was happening, he was shocked again, the burning pain making him cry out.

"hiss--"

"This is your punishment for these two offenses."

Nine-Tails raised its head, looking at the system in disbelief.
