Hokage Character Simulator

Chapter 11: Tsundere Nine-Tails Is Online

The system task was to gain the recognition of the Nine-Tails.

However, Naruto realized that strengthening the seal did not conflict with this mission.

So, while Kurama was distracted, Naruto carefully approached the iron gate and climbed up toward the seal.

The Eight Trigrams Seal was actually a combination of two Four Trigrams Seals working in harmony.

By pressing his hand onto the seal, Naruto reinforced its strength.

Immediately, Kurama's body sank deeper inside the cage, the immense sealing power pressing down on him.

Originally, Kurama could move around freely, but after Naruto tightened the seal, even standing up became difficult.

As the overwhelming force restrained his movements, Kurama's massive fox eyes widened in shock.

He growled, his voice carrying a hint of urgency:

"Brat, we need to talk—don't mess with the seal!"

Kurama's deep voice rumbled through the sealed space.

"That seal is extremely complicated! If you start messing with it… what if it breaks?!"

The Eight Trigrams Seal, at its strongest, had once left Kurama completely immobilized—unable to move or even speak.

It had taken years for the seal to weaken enough for Kurama to regain some mobility.

But now—

This brat wanted to strengthen it again?!

Kurama started to panic.

If the seal became as strong as before, he wouldn't even be able to scratch an itch!

Meanwhile, Naruto stepped back from the iron gate, smirking.

Hearing Kurama almost plead with him was pretty amusing.

"So, Kurama is also the type who bullies the weak but fears the strong, huh?"

Naruto couldn't help but find the situation funny.

Naruto folded his arms and smiled.

"Kurama," he said, "I told you before—an old man told me I was a friend of the Tailed Beasts."

Kurama's expression darkened, his red eyes filled with irritation.

"You just strengthened my seal—" the fox growled, "and you call yourself a 'friend' of the Tailed Beasts?!"

Naruto shrugged.

"Well, I can loosen the seal a little… but on one condition."

At this, Kurama's ears twitched slightly.

The idea of the seal being loosened immediately caught his interest.

He sat up, his massive ears flattened against his head due to the seal's pressure.

His posture resembled a giant cat ready to pounce.

Kurama tried to sound indifferent, but his voice carried a hint of eagerness:

"Tailed Beasts don't negotiate with humans!"

But even as he said this, his tone betrayed his excitement.

Naruto smirked.

"Look," he reasoned, "if I help loosen the seal, you'll feel better, right?"

"And if I help you, wouldn't that make us friends?"

Kurama narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly realized something.

"Tsk. He's still just a kid."

So what if this brat had powerful sealing techniques?

He was still young. Naïve.

Clearly, Naruto was lonely.

He probably thought that Kurama was lonely too and wanted to befriend him.

How ridiculous.

Kurama sneered, trying to maintain his pride:

"Tailed Beasts don't befriend humans! Especially not brats like you!"

But Naruto could see through him.

"Oh… is that so?" Naruto said, pretending to be disappointed.

"Alright, then. I'll just leave."

Naruto turned around and started walking away.

Kurama's ears shot up.

His deep voice rose slightly in alarm.

"W-What?!"

"You heard me. I'm leaving." Naruto said, continuing to walk away.

Kurama gritted his fangs, watching Naruto's back disappear.

For a moment, he hesitated.

Then, realizing that Naruto wasn't bluffing, his face twitched.

And finally—

Kurama snapped.

"HEY! BRAT!!"

Naruto paused.

He slowly turned around, blinking innocently.

"Huh? Did you say something?"

Kurama suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed.

Logically speaking, he was a Tailed Beast.

A creature of pure chakra, the most feared being in existence.

And yet—

Here he was, getting all flustered over a brat.

If Shukaku ever saw this, he'd never let him live it down.

Kurama coughed awkwardly.

Then, in a voice that was almost reluctant, he muttered,

"If you loosen the seal… we're…"

Naruto tilted his head.

"We're what?"

Kurama's massive fox face twisted in embarrassment.

The words physically hurt to say.

But finally, after a deep breath—

"Friends."

Naruto grinned.

"Alright!"

Without hesitation, Naruto approached the iron gate and adjusted the seal.

He carefully removed some of the restrictive power, leaving only the original Eight Trigrams Seal placed by Minato Namikaze.

Kurama felt instant relief.

The overwhelming weight pressing down on him eased.

For a moment, he studied Naruto.

This kid…

He actually trusted him?

Didn't he understand that Kurama was the reason he was ostracized his whole life?

Didn't he hate him?

These questions lingered in Kurama's mind.

But before he could process them, Naruto had already walked away.

[Ding! System task completed. Simulation opportunity +1.]

Mission complete.

And Naruto?

He had nothing to lose.

With a content smile, Naruto left the sealed space.

The Next Morning.

By the time Naruto woke up, it was early morning.

For a brief moment, it felt like everything that happened last night was a dream.

But when he opened his system panel, the truth was clear:

System Status:

• Host: Uzumaki Naruto

• Traits: Uzumaki Bloodline, Ashura Reincarnation, Nine-Tails Jinchūriki

• Techniques:

• Seduction Technique

• Transformation Technique

• Adamantine Sealing Chains - Kai

• Eight Trigrams Seal - Ji

• Myojinmon (Torii Seal)

• Combat Power: 1840 + 82,400

• Backpack: 8.23 million silver taels, Yin-Yang Nine-Tails (Rage)

• Number of Simulations: 1

• Task: None

Clearly, the Level 6 Physical Enhancement had greatly benefited him.

And the sealing techniques he acquired?

Absolutely overpowered.

Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, recalling Kurama's flustered reaction.

"Tch. What a tsundere fox."

Naruto didn't plan to waste his new simulation opportunity.

It was his day off from the Ninja Academy.

So, lying comfortably on his bed, he activated the system.

[Ding! Host consumes one simulation opportunity. Character creation begins.]

• [Character Surnames Drawn: Yamayama, Hatano, Kurai, Morikawa, Kitano, Aoi.]

Naruto frowned.

"Huh? I don't remember these surnames from the original story."

For some reason, though, they felt familiar.

Still, none of them belonged to prominent clans.

So, Naruto chose the one he liked best.

"Sunflower."

Next came talent selection.

[Character Talents Drawn: Heiji (Rain Shinobi), Rock Lee, Senju Nawaki, Hyuga Neji, Uchiha Izuna, Hatake Sakumo.]

Naruto's eyes lit up.

"Now that's some good luck! But who should I choose…?"
