Naruto : Bastard Sytem

Silence fell.

Whether it was the two-pillar fangirl group watching or the jonin monitoring through the crystal ball in the Hokage's office, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as they watched Sasuke get punched by Naruto.

Even if Kiba had been knocked out with a single blow, how could Uchiha Sasuke, who had always been number one, end up like this?

This was terrifying.

Just as Sasuke crashed to the ground, a masked man with white hair, wearing a Konoha ninja vest, suddenly appeared and picked up his body.

"Have you already learned to use the Nine-Tails' chakra so skillfully?" Kakashi wondered silently.

Should I say that he truly is worthy of being Minato-sensei's son?

But his attack was a bit too strong. I don't know how a genius of the Uchiha clan will take this. I just hope his mentality doesn't collapse. It's best to take him to the hospital first.

Kakashi glanced at Sasuke, who was already unconscious. Without saying a word, he carried him away and disappeared into the crowd.

"Sasuke-kun... He lost to Naruto too!"

"No way, am I hallucinating?"

"This is fake. I must be dreaming, right?"

For years, Sasuke had left an unshakable impression of strength on his classmates, making it incredibly difficult for his fans to accept his defeat.

And to make things worse, Naruto—the loser—had taken Sasuke down with a single punch. It made no sense at all. This was horrifying.

"Even Sasuke... Is his fate the same as Kiba's?"

Shikamaru swallowed hard, his eyes unfocused.

Choji's potato chips fell to the ground.

Then, both of them felt a sharp pain in their arms.

"Ino, what are you doing? That hurts!"

"I'm just making sure I'm not dreaming."

"Then why don't you pinch yourself instead?"

Shikamaru quickly pulled Choji away from Ino.

Ino stared blankly at Naruto, who was surrounded by people in the middle of the training ground, her emotions a mix of confusion and disbelief.

How did Naruto become this strong?

Had he just been pretending all this time?

How could this loudmouthed fool, who always acted like a clown and embarrassed girls, become so powerful?

"Tch."

The so-called genius of the Uchiha clan was nothing special after all.

Naruto sighed in disappointment. He thought he'd get a decent fight, but this was all he got.

In that instant, a voice echoed in his head.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the second choice. Reward: Fire Attribute Chakra has been distributed.]

Suddenly, Naruto felt a burning sensation flow through his meridians, even warming his internal organs. From now on, he had another chakra attribute in his body.

Originally, he only had wind chakra. But now, with fire, he could combine them in the future to create something even stronger.

He could learn more as time went on. The more power he had, the better he could protect himself.

As a jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, Naruto's path wouldn't be easy.

Danzo, the scheming leader of Konoha, Akatsuki, who planned to capture the tailed beasts, that insane Uchiha who wanted to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and countless unknown threats—he would need overwhelming power to face them all.

Besides that, there were still a few things to take care of.

No matter what, there would always be someone causing trouble.

Turning to Kiba in the crowd, Naruto spoke, "Kiba, didn't you say you wanted to challenge me? Come on, I still have time for you."

Hearing his name, Kiba suddenly felt nervous.

"Naruto, let's not fight. It's pointless," Kiba shook his head, rejecting the challenge.

"Why not?" Naruto narrowed his eyes, a small smile on his lips. He pointed at himself and continued, "Didn't you say you had to fight me today? Just for you, I ended my fight with Sasuke quickly. Now it's your turn."

His tone was gentle.

But everyone who heard it felt a chill run down their spines.

At this moment, if anyone still thought Naruto's win against Kiba was just luck, they were utterly naive.

Kiba wasn't stupid. If even Sasuke was taken down with one hit, how could he possibly defeat Naruto?

The so-called loser had now become something else entirely.

No, Naruto wasn't a loser. He was a genius. A terrifying genius who had been hiding his true strength all along.

"Naruto, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive earlier. I hope you can forgive me."

Kiba felt this was the right move. Rather than getting humiliated, it was better to surrender to a genius even stronger than Sasuke.

Naruto looked at him calmly, feeling slightly annoyed.

It wasn't Kiba that frustrated him the most.

It was the fact that the Third Hokage was watching his every move. Kakashi had appeared so suddenly, and ANBU were always following him.

What would happen if he still attacked Kiba despite his apology? The consequences were obvious.

Just then, another voice rang in his head.

[Passive selection triggered!]

[Right now, you're feeling very unhappy. And when you're unhappy, you need someone to take it out on. The choices you will make are...]

[First target, Yamanaka Ino: Pinch her face and humiliate her in public. Reward: 200.000 ryo.]

[Second target, Hyuga Hinata: Confess your love to her in front of everyone and propose to her. Then, when she agrees, laugh at her and say you were just joking, completely embarrassing her. Reward: 500.000 ryo.]

[Third target, Haruno Sakura: Grab her hand, drag her to your house, and beat her until her face is bruised and swollen. Reward: 1.000.000 ryo.]

What the...?

Why were all the rewards money?

Did he look like he was broke?

...Well, now that he thought about it, he actually was kind of broke.

He had already spent most of the original owner's savings within a few days.

He had bought tons of food and drinks, as well as new clothes—more than ten sets, even.

Naruto sighed, then glanced at Kiba.

"Alright, forget it."

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Kiba finally able to breathe.

"Naruto, just wait! I'll get stronger in the future!" Kiba clenched his fists, trying to maintain some pride.

But Naruto simply patted his shoulder and whispered, "Keep dreaming, because you'll never beat me no matter how strong you get."

Then, he walked toward the crowd on the left.

"Damn it... Just wait and see!" Kiba muttered under his breath, clenching his fists. One day, he would defeat Naruto.

At that moment, Ino looked at Naruto standing in front of her, confused.

"Naruto, what are you going to do?"

Naruto looked at her, his thoughts spinning.

I don't want to do anything... But I need money.

So, sorry, Ino.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto reached out—

And pinched her cheek.

Soft and smooth.
