Hokage : My Nine tails are getting more and more

( Free trial available in patreon )

As soon as Hinata activated her Byakugan, a blinding surge of light filled her vision, stunning her.

"That… what is that?"

Hinata's delicate features were awestruck, her soft lips parted in surprise as her gaze locked on Naruto in sheer astonishment.

Could this truly be Naruto's chakra?

She could hardly believe the enormous volume of energy radiating from him. She had never witnessed anything of the sort before. Naruto's chakra was not only abundant—it was overwhelming, more intense than anything she'd ever encountered.

In the Center of the Training Field

Naruto took a steady stance, facing Sasuke as he charged at him. Sasuke launched a quick punch, aiming for Naruto's face, confident he would land the first strike.

But…

Naruto deftly placed two fingers against the back of Sasuke's hand, redirecting the attack just enough to shift Sasuke's center of gravity. Sasuke stumbled forward, briefly off balance, before regaining his footing and leaping up to strike with a powerful kick.

Naruto sidestepped, not intending to engage head-on. With fluid, effortless movements, he dodged the kick, and the two of them began a close-quarters exchange.

As academy students, they primarily relied on Taijutsu, but Naruto seemed to be handling Sasuke with surprising ease. Standing calmly, he countered Sasuke's strikes with one hand, while Sasuke threw his full weight and energy into each attack.

Within a few moves, Naruto had skillfully restrained Sasuke, immobilizing his arm with one hand and controlling his elbow with the other. Now facing away from Naruto, Sasuke was hoisted up, almost effortlessly, by Naruto's grasp.

"What… what's going on?" Sasuke's eyes widened, struggling to process what was happening. His confidence faltered as he realized Naruto's sheer strength and skill. Below, the spectators who had been cheering for Sasuke fell silent, their enthusiasm replaced by a mix of awe and disbelief.

The tables had turned entirely. Sasuke, who had always taken pride in his abilities, found himself completely outmatched by Naruto—someone he'd assumed was unremarkable.

Sasuke wrestled and strained, desperate to break free, but Naruto's grip felt as immovable as iron. Despite his best efforts, Sasuke couldn't budge his opponent.

"Have you been practicing wrestling since childhood?" Naruto mused aloud, almost genuinely curious about how easily he could hold Sasuke.

"You… lost," he finally informed Sasuke, releasing him.

Sasuke's feet hit the ground, and he took a steadying breath, trying to shake off the shock and frustration. He had indeed lost, but he couldn't accept it. He was a Uchiha, after all! Losing so easily was unacceptable—especially in front of his classmates.

But as he took another breath, something unsettling gnawed at him. Was he… afraid of Naruto?

"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Sasuke demanded, his tone laced with a rare, begrudging respect.

Naruto merely shrugged, giving a casual, vague response. "I don't know… it just sort of happened, I guess."

Sasuke's brows knitted in frustration, as Naruto's evasiveness only fueled his curiosity. But he couldn't argue with it. In a world where strength determined value, anyone with a way to rapidly improve would be smart to guard their secrets. He couldn't expect Naruto to hand over the key to his power so easily.

Outside the Training Field

Hinata watched silently, not entirely surprised that Naruto had triumphed. She had glimpsed his chakra and knew he was capable of much more than others realized. But for those around her, Naruto's strength was a revelation.

Ino nudged Haruno Sakura, still in shock herself. "Sakura, am I seeing things?"

"You're not." Sakura's voice was soft, almost a whisper, her gaze never leaving Naruto. "Sasuke… Sasuke actually lost. Completely." She couldn't stop replaying the moment in her mind. She had teased Naruto before, but if he had that much power… a shiver ran down her spine.

Iruka finally gathered himself and announced, "The last match—Uzumaki Naruto wins!"

[Ding~ System task completed, simulation opportunity +1]

A prompt flashed through Naruto's mind, but he brushed it aside for now. The next task could wait.

After School

Later that day, Iruka pulled Naruto aside to talk, curiosity and admiration clear in his eyes. Naruto, however, masked his true strength with a series of small white lies, keeping the nature of his abilities a secret. Even Iruka, as close as he was, couldn't know about the system.

Iruka seemed to sense something unusual but couldn't place it. Eventually, he simply invited Naruto out to celebrate at Ichiraku Ramen, an invitation Naruto readily accepted.

As they approached the ramen stand, they spotted Sasuke, arms crossed, waiting near the entrance. His face was unreadable, but Naruto could sense the tension in his posture.

When Sasuke saw them, he walked over, his eyes narrowing as they fixed on Naruto.

"Uzumaki Naruto," he began, a faint hint of frustration lacing his voice. "I want to buy your training method." Sasuke's tone was blunt, direct—he was not one to mince words when it came to something he desired.

Naruto sighed. He knew Sasuke would ask, but he had no secret training method to sell. "I don't train in any particular way," he replied with a shrug. "I rely on natural talent."

"Talent?" Sasuke scoffed. He knew the Naruto of old—scrawny and overlooked. But today had changed that perception completely. Naruto's physique seemed more developed, his strength formidable. There had to be something he was hiding.

Suspicious and unsatisfied, Sasuke tagged along with Naruto and Iruka to Ichiraku Ramen. They ordered, ate, and chatted, though Sasuke mostly stayed silent, clearly still focused on Naruto. When Iruka excused himself to handle some business, Sasuke seized the chance to press Naruto further.

"What's it going to take?" Sasuke's voice was sharp, yet almost pleading. "Name your price, and tell me what you did to get this strong."

Naruto looked at him, exasperated but also a little amused. Sasuke was intense, relentless, even admirable in his own way. Naruto knew that if he didn't throw Sasuke off with a bit of a challenge, Sasuke would keep hounding him.

"So, you'd agree to any condition?" Naruto asked with a mischievous glint.

"Of course!" Sasuke's reply was immediate, his tone serious and full of determination. "Just tell me!"

Naruto paused, considering. An idea flashed through his mind, both funny and fitting for someone as serious as Sasuke. "Alright," Naruto said slowly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "I'll tell you my secret… if you agree to dress up as a woman and take a set of photos."

Sasuke's face froze, his mouth clamping shut. He glared at Naruto, his hands balling into fists as he processed the bizarre demand.

Naruto gave a slight smirk, leaning back and watching the conflicting emotions play across Sasuke's face.

Sasuke swallowed hard, his face flushing with a mixture of indignation and disbelief. "You… you can't be serious…"

But Naruto's amused grin told him that, indeed, he was.
