Hokage : My Nine tails are getting more and more

( Free trial available in patreon)

You requested orders to join the battlefield. Unfortunately, your congenital illness flared up, weakening your physical abilities.]

[Nonetheless, you found the enemy who had killed Master Chen and avenged him.]

[In your struggle with the enemy, your illness took a toll. Though you succeeded, you paid a heavy price. Alone, with no medical ninjas nearby, you lay on the verge of death.]

[As your life faded, you glimpsed Hatake Kakashi, now bearing a Sharingan, and Nohara Rin, who attempted to heal you. But her efforts were in vain.]

[Kakashi told you that you could have achieved so much more.]

[You succumbed to your injuries, losing too much blood…]

[Simulation complete.]

[System Evaluation: Despite your laziness, you lived with honor, courage, and loyalty. You risked your life avenging your master, and that bravery is commendable.]

[Evaluation Level: 2]

[Reward: Level 2 Physical Enhancement]

[Reward Selection Card: Nara Clan]

With the simulation ended, Naruto closed his eyes, letting himself fully feel the benefits of Level 2 physical enhancement. The difference between Level 1 and Level 2 was noticeable—the increase in strength was significantly more substantial. Naruto's body now showed no signs of his previous malnutrition or stunted growth.

Additionally, Naruto received a reward selection card. Eagerly, he chose to gain the taijutsu expertise of his simulated character. A flood of both familiar and unfamiliar memories filled his mind, embedding new moves and muscle memories into his very being.

Naruto quickly opened his system panel to assess his progress.

[Host: Uzumaki Naruto

Combat Power: 824]

He chuckled. Compared to the mere "5" he started with, the current 824 was a significant leap, though Naruto's determination to grow stronger kept him from celebrating just yet.

Seeing that he had only one simulation opportunity remaining, Naruto felt a surge of excitement. The final simulation could be his most potent one yet. "System, let's start another simulation!"

The system quickly began drawing character attributes:

Surname Options: Mikami, Hatao, Aoi

Talent Options: Flat Multiplier, Few Times Multiplier, Multiple Times Multiplier

Appearance Options: Two Trash Characters, Namikaze Minato

For Naruto, the chosen characters were unfamiliar, seemingly minor individuals in the Naruto world. He couldn't recall any noteworthy details about them—except for his father's renowned appearance, Namikaze Minato. He couldn't deny that his father's looks were a plus, though the rest of the characters offered little in terms of skills or talents.

However, Naruto understood that selecting his father's appearance would be an investment for the long run, so he chose it as his primary attribute.

When the simulation ended, Naruto reviewed his gains. His physique had improved once again, and though his power had only increased slightly, he now sported a level of health and strength far better than before. His previously undernourished body now appeared fit and strong.

Finally, Naruto stepped in front of a mirror, curious to see his reflection with his father's features. Surprisingly, he noticed no immediate changes.

"System," Naruto inquired, "I thought my appearance was supposed to match my father's now. Why do I still look the same?"

[Ding~ To prevent sudden changes from raising suspicion, the system has implemented a gradual transformation. Your appearance will shift subtly over the next three months, allowing you to adapt without drawing unnecessary attention.]

Naruto nodded, impressed. "Clever. That's definitely considerate."

After all three simulations had been used, Naruto took stock of his gains: two Level 1 physical enhancements, one Level 2 physical enhancement, the taijutsu skills comparable to a young Hatake Kakashi, and a gradual transformation to adopt Namikaze Minato's looks. And, to top it all off, he now had financial security, equivalent to 400,000 yuan in silver.

Naruto felt the thrill of progress—an exhilarating feeling, almost better than instant wealth. Noticing that his simulation count had reset to zero, he asked, "System, how can I get more simulation chances?"

[Ding~ The system will periodically assign tasks, which the Host may choose to accept or decline. Should you decline, the system will generate a task of equal difficulty. Completing tasks grants additional simulation opportunities.]

Naruto nodded thoughtfully. It was a relief that tasks weren't mandatory, which meant he could retain a sense of freedom. Now that he had improved his physicality, combat power, and financial situation, he felt more confident about his position in this world.

…

At this stage, Uzumaki Naruto was still enrolled in the Ninja Academy. The next morning, he prepared for school, washing up and packing his bag before heading out. Since he had retained his memories from his previous life, his demeanor and personality differed considerably from the Naruto in the original storyline.

Naruto knew that his image in Konoha wasn't the best. But he refrained from pulling pranks or acting out, which caused the villagers to see him as more of a quiet, invisible presence rather than a nuisance. Surprisingly, Naruto found he enjoyed this calm solitude.

With breakfast taken care of, Naruto walked to the academy, following the familiar path to school. Families bustled around, with parents dropping off students, chatting, and catching up before their daily routines. Naruto recognized only a few faces. In the past, he might have felt a pang of sadness seeing others with their families, but now, after regaining his memories, he simply observed with mild curiosity.

His interest in Konoha and its characters had deepened. He was eager to meet the familiar faces from the original story, not just as characters he'd read about, but as real individuals. And to truly interact with them, Naruto resolved to focus on honing his skills.

Once he reached the classroom, Naruto took in his surroundings. Familiar figures populated the room: a shy Hinata, an energetic Sakura, and a feisty Ino. Shikamaru, ever the sleepy strategist, sat nearby, while Kiba exuded a boundless confidence.

Due to his quiet nature, Naruto hadn't formed any close connections with his classmates. The only person who occasionally watched him from afar was the white-eyed princess, Hinata, who seemed to cast glances his way every so often. But Naruto understood how the Hyuga clan might react if they caught wind of any interaction between the two of them, so he chose to keep his distance.

Settling into his seat by the back window, Naruto glanced out, momentarily lost in thought. As he looked back into the classroom, he caught Hinata's gaze. She quickly turned away, her cheeks flushing pink, her fingers folding neatly as she tried to appear focused on the nonexistent lesson—Iruka hadn't even arrived yet.

Naruto chuckled quietly, thinking to himself, She's so innocent and endearing.

A few moments later, Iruka entered, immediately grabbing everyone's attention as he announced the day's surprise: a written test.

Groans and whispers rippled through the room. Sakura and Ino exchanged competitive glances, almost as if lightning sparked between them. For them, these written tests were battlegrounds, and the top spots were always a contest. Typically, Sakura, Ino, and Hinata vied for the highest scores, with Shino and Sasuke close behind.

In fact, every test led to a fierce rivalry between Sakura and Ino. Sitting beside her, Sakura nudged Ino with her elbow, whispering, "Ino, if you lose this time, you're my wingman for the whole week!"

Ino shot her a fierce look, their whispered words dripping with competitive energy.
