Chapter 25 S-Rank Rating! Awaken, Vortex Physique!
Chapter 25 S-Rank Rating! Awaken, Vortex Physique!
The store has returned to quiet.
Naruto stood in the center of the hall, with his back to the door.
Everything he had just experienced was too heavy a burden for him.
It's a miracle that Naruto isn't going crazy right now.
Roy sat behind the counter, not trying to comfort Naruto. Even if he did, it wouldn't make a difference; the little guy wouldn't listen to a word.
Roy turned his gaze to the system panel in front of him.
Settlement complete.
[Instance Name: The Nine-Tailed Fox's Chaos - The Crimson Truth]
[Cleared by: Naruto Uzumaki]
[Core Achievement Completed:]
Having personally witnessed the deaths of his parents and learned of the scandals within Konoha's upper echelons, he completely shattered the brainwashing of the Will of Fire.
[Detection indicates that the core concept of the Chosen One has collapsed and is being restructured...]
[The entire ninja world's emotional resonance is being processed...]
[Fate Points Critical Hit Calculation: 50000 points!]
Roy exclaimed in amazement, "Fifty thousand!"
This is a windfall. Before, he only tricked Sasuke out of 5000 points, but Naruto has made ten times that amount this time.
Blood earned!
Destroying a person's faith is indeed more profitable than killing them.
The postscript is only one line long.
[The Avenger who sees the truth.]
Roy closes the panel.
He opened the drawer, inside was a vial of medicine.
[Uzumaki Clan Bloodline Purification Potion (Perfect Version)]
This is a hidden reward for achieving an S-rank rating, which Roy specially prepared for Naruto.
Roy remembered Naruto from the original story very clearly; although he was a member of the Uzumaki clan, his constitution was not pure.
His hair was golden, and although he had a large amount of chakra, he failed to inherit the Uzumaki clan's core sealing techniques and sensory abilities.
This vial of medicine can help him regain his lost bloodline.
Roy stood up, took the medicine, and walked over to Naruto.
"I drank it."
Roy handed over the medicine.
Naruto's eyes were bloodshot, and there were tear stains at the corners of his eyes.
He stared at the red liquid in Roy's hand.
"What is this? It looks a bit eerie."
"Don't overthink it, would I harm you? Congratulations, this is your reward for clearing the level."
Roy shook the test tube.
"It is also the true legacy your mother left you."
The word "mother" reminded Naruto of that red-haired woman.
To protect him, he was even willing to be pierced by the Nine-Tails' claws.
Naruto didn't ask any more questions about the Uzumaki clan, and felt it was unnecessary.
If the store manager wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have waited until now.
He took the test tube, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp, fully demonstrating the spirit of a little man; a real man should down it in one go.
"Well……"
The test tube fell to the ground and shattered.
Naruto fell to his knees and screamed in agony.
"Ahhhhh!"
Over the past seven years.
He ate expired food and drank spoiled milk, resulting in severe malnutrition.
If it weren't for the Nine-Tails' chakra keeping him alive, he would have been crippled long ago.
Right now, the medicine is repairing everything.
They are transforming this depleted body into the most perfect vessel.
Roy stood aside, watching coldly; this kind of pain was necessary.
To gain power, you have to pay a price; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
Naruto's originally dry and brittle hair began to grow wildly.
A vibrant red streak spreads from the roots of her hair, a mark of the Whirlpool Clan.
However, the red did not completely cover the gold; the two colors intertwined in the hair.
Gold and red interspersed.
Blue, materialized chakra overflowed from his body, forming a visible storm.
The empty bottle in Roy's hand was blown away.
Even he had to release a gravity field to stabilize the surrounding facilities.
"Such strong vitality."
Roy looked at the boy kneeling on the ground.
This is the Uzumaki physique, the strongest physical talent in the ninja world.
Naruto's panting gradually subsided, and the tearing pain disappeared.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and felt that the world had changed.
But this is not all.
He closed his eyes, but countless points of light appeared in his mind.
The light spots vary in intensity and brightness; they are chakra.
All the chakra fluctuations within a radius of several kilometers were reflected in his mind.
Kagura's Mind's Eye, a unique sensory ability of the Uzumaki clan, was also passively activated at this moment.
Naruto's attention extended outwards; he "saw" the outside world, where the villagers had not yet dispersed.
Hundreds and thousands of points of light gathered on the street.
Each point of light represents a person, and the points of light emit different colors.
In Naruto's perception, colors represent emotions, and most of the light spots are gray, which represents fear.
Another part is black, which represents malice.
Only a very few points of light were white, carrying a sense of guilt.
Naruto "looked" at these people.
Just now, these people were crying and calling him "Young Master Naruto," handing him red bean buns, and kneeling down to apologize.
They kept saying sorry and that they were wrong, but under Kagura's keen observation, their true feelings were completely revealed.
There was little sincerity in them, only scheming and fear. They were simply afraid of retaliation and being held accountable by the Fourth Hokage's son.
They apologized because they were afraid the powerful shop owner would cause trouble.
If Naruto were still the demon fox without any backing, these people would not hesitate to kick him while he's down.
They'll definitely take advantage of your weakness and kill you.
"turn out to be……"
Naruto stood up from the ground and looked in the direction of the gate.
"This is what they really are like."
Naruto muttered to himself.
He was so naive before, always thinking that as long as he tried to be a good person, he could win genuine affection.
Now he understood that sincerity was a luxury in this village.
Only power and fear are true hard currency.
Naruto felt the surging power within him, a power left to him by his parents and the foundation for his future.
He turned to look at Roy, and the last trace of confusion in his azure eyes vanished.
"Store Manager."
Naruto spoke.
"I want to learn that."
Roy frowned.
"Which one?"
"That golden light."
Naruto gestured.
"It's the same technique my dad used; he disappeared in a flash."
The Flying Thunder God Technique is the fastest technique in the ninja world.
Naruto looked at his palm.
"I want to be as fast as my dad, so fast that no one can catch me, and I can protect the people I want to protect."
Roy looked Naruto up and down.
This kid has quite an appetite.
The Flying Thunder God Technique is an S-rank space-time ninjutsu, extremely difficult to learn. It's not something you can just buy or practice whenever you want.
Learning this technique requires not only exceptional spatial and temporal talent, but also a vast amount of chakra and incredibly fast neural reaction speed.
The old Naruto definitely couldn't have learned it, but now he has awakened the Uzumaki physique, plus the sensory assistance of Kagura's Mind's Eye.
There might actually be a chance.
However, Roy wouldn't give it to him so easily.
Things that are too easily obtained are not cherished by anyone.
Moreover, Roy looked at Naruto's clothes: an orange tracksuit with a torn collar and dirty sleeves.
It is a symbol of his "bottom of the class" persona.
"Flying Thunder God is very expensive."
Roy retorted without any hesitation.
"It's a forbidden technique among forbidden techniques. All your current wealth combined can't even buy a single explosive tag."
Naruto gritted his teeth.
"I can work! I can sign a contract of servitude!"
"We'll talk about it later."
Roy waved his hand.
He pointed to Naruto's clothes.
"Before becoming stronger."
"First, peel off that clown skin you're wearing."
Naruto paused for a moment, then looked down at his clothes.
He used to think that this color was eye-catching and would make him stand out at a glance.
Even if it's a disdainful look, even if it's a mocking laugh.
He feels alive as long as someone is watching him.
Roy continued speaking.
"Naruto Uzumaki, who only knows how to play pranks to get attention, and that loser who always gets into trouble in his ridiculous clothes, isn't he already dead in the dungeon?"
Naruto grabbed the hem of his clothes and ripped off his tattered coat.
"You're right. He's dead."
"From today onwards, there is only Avenger Naruto Uzumaki."
Roy nodded in satisfaction. "This kid is teachable."
