Chapter 2: CH 2
With the end of the simulation.
Naruto could clearly feel the changes in his body.
Physical fitness is extremely important in the Shinobi world.
It determines the limit of Chakra capacity, the tolerance for advanced ninjutsu, and even boosts overall strength.
The Level 1 Physical Enhancement allowed Naruto to notice significant changes in his body.
"System, I will choose all the coins from that character."
[Ding~ Reward selection is completed. Host receives: 8.24 million ryo.]
[Ding~ The reward has been distributed to the system inventory. Please withdraw it manually.]
These ryo were calculated based on the purchasing power of Naruto's previous life, amounting to about 400,000 yuan.
As a fan of novels, Naruto naturally understood how these systematic things worked.
He asked the system:
"System, do I also have a personal stats panel?"
[Ding~ Personal Stats Panel has been opened.]
[Host: Uzumaki Naruto]
• Traits: Uzumaki Bloodline, Reincarnation of Asura, Nine-Tails Jinchūriki
• Techniques: Sexy Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu
• Combat Power: 5 + 82,400 (Nine-Tails contribution)
• Backpack: 8.24 million ryo
• Simulation Attempts: 2
• Task: None
As expected from Uzumaki Naruto, even as a child, he had already mastered the Sexy Jutsu.
What a terrifying child—his future was immeasurable.
As the protagonist, possessing three defining traits—Uzumaki Bloodline, Asura Reincarnation, and the Nine-Tails—was the bare minimum.
In terms of combat power, Naruto's personal level was only 5.
The 82,400 clearly belonged to Kurama, the Nine-Tails.
Naruto originally had three simulation attempts. He had used one to solve his immediate financial crisis.
With two attempts remaining, he hoped the next character would be even stronger.
Naruto couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
"System, let's do another simulation!"
[Ding~ Host consumes a simulation attempt. Beginning character creation.]
• [Surname extraction completed: Shanshan, Nara.]
• [Talent extraction completed: Hanzō's subordinate Heiji, Rock Lee.]
• [Health extraction completed: Kurama Yakumo, Kimimaro.]
• [IQ extraction completed: Hidan, Gamamaru (Toad Sage).]
• [Personality extraction completed: Sasuke - Rebellious Phase, Shikamaru - Lazy Mode.]
• [Relationship extraction completed: Uchiha Madara (Warring States Period), Shimura Danzo (Root Era).]
• [Appearance extraction completed: Kisame (Post-Human Experiment), Chōji (Adult Version).]
• [Hobbies extraction completed: Gato (Greedy), Might Guy (Taijutsu Master).]
• [Specialties extraction completed: Danzo ("You Will Regret This" Mode), Tsunade (Gambling Queen).]
Seeing the results, Naruto's eye twitched slightly.
"If only I could rearrange these attributes… Imagine Madara as the surname. That would be a game-changer."
Unfortunately, the system didn't allow reordering.
Still, the Nara Clan was far better than being a random civilian!
For talent, Naruto chose Rock Lee.
Even though Lee couldn't use ninjutsu, his taijutsu talent was extraordinary, earning him the title of "Taijutsu Master" under Might Guy's mentorship.
For health, Naruto chose Kimimaro.
Although Kimimaro suffered from a chronic illness, he wasn't as debilitated as Kurama Yakumo, who could barely become a ninja.
Soon, Naruto had made all his selections, and the character was created.
[Final Character Panel:]
• Surname: Nara
• Talent: Rock Lee (Taijutsu Specialist)
• Health: Kimimaro
• IQ: Gamamaru (Toad Sage)
• Personality: Shikamaru - Lazy Mode
• Relationships: Shimura Danzo (Root Era)
• Appearance: Chōji (Adult Version)
• Hobbies: Might Guy (Taijutsu Enthusiast)
• Specialties: Danzo ("You Will Regret This" Mode)
[Character Evaluation]:
• "You are a disgrace to the Nara Clan.
• You possess a strong talent for taijutsu.
• Compared to Kurama Yakumo, you can at least live long enough to achieve some success.
• From Hidan to Gamamaru, your IQ has improved from 0 to 1!
• You are incredibly lazy.
• Despite being misunderstood, you still have some supporters.
• You look better than a shark (Kisame: Excuse me?).
• You love taijutsu.
• You are highly tolerant."
Naruto had deliberately chosen a character with taijutsu potential.
This one had good physical talent, was lazy but patient, and could at least function as a ninja.
"System, start the simulation!"
[Simulation Timeline Extraction Completed: The Third Great Ninja War, Warring States Period.]
[Birthplace Extraction Completed: Konoha Village, Kirigakure.]
Naruto quickly intervened.
"The Warring States Period is way too chaotic—Senju Tobirama hasn't even established the Ninja Academy yet!"
As for the birthplace:
"It has to be Konoha. If a Nara is born in Kirigakure, that's just asking for trouble!"
[Simulation Start!]
• [You are born into the Nara Clan, but your father doubts your lineage due to your obesity. He accuses your mother of infidelity, creating a family scandal.]
• [As you grow, your father discovers you have a congenital illness and begins using medicinal herbs to treat you.]
• [You attend preschool education within the Nara Clan but are deemed mentally slow, showing no interest in anything besides eating, drinking, and sleeping. Your father is deeply disappointed.]
[You sense your father's disappointment. Your choice is…]
"Of course, I'll work hard!"
Naruto was determined to make this character better than the last disaster.
• [You attempt to work hard, but due to your laziness, the results are underwhelming. You fail to learn the Nara Clan's shadow techniques, further disappointing your father.]
• [Your parents have another child, and your importance at home diminishes.]
• [You join the Ninja Academy. During practical training, you develop an interest in taijutsu and decide to pursue it.]
[Your choice is…]
"Train taijutsu!"
• [You begin practicing taijutsu. Despite your laziness, your passion for it drives you forward.]
• [You use taijutsu to defeat Uchiha Obito during a sparring session, earning attention from your clan. The Nara Clan invites a taijutsu master from Konoha, Master Chen, to mentor you.]
• [Master Chen evaluates you and concludes that you lack the innate talent to become a top-tier ninja.]
• [Under Master Chen's guidance, your taijutsu improves significantly, and you can even hold your own against Hatake Kakashi.]
• [You are hailed as Konoha's Taijutsu Genius, but your laziness prevents you from fully capitalizing on your potential.]
Naruto:
"Wait, you just stop working after getting praise? What's wrong with this character?!"
It felt like raising a child who refused to listen.
• [Namikaze Minato becomes Hokage. He considers taking you as a disciple but ultimately chooses Kakashi due to your laziness.]
Naruto: "Blood loss! If he chose the Fourth Hokage, this character would skyrocket!"
• [Master Chen dies during the Third Great Ninja War. You vow to avenge him.]
[Your choice is…]
"Revenge. This character is too lazy to improve further anyway—better to go out with a bang."
Naruto sighed as the simulation unfolded. Characters truly had minds of their own, making it a challenge to achieve perfection.
