Chapter 9: Ch-9:A surprising Misunderstanding



( free trial available in patreon )

Naruto observed Sasuke's hesitance and grew more certain of his intentions. He leaned closer, "Look, if you're not willing to do what I asked, there's no point staying here. Leave if you're not up for it."

Naruto thought this ultimatum would drive Sasuke away for good, but to his surprise, Sasuke's expression softened. Awkwardly, Sasuke muttered, "I...I'll do it."

Naruto blinked, not quite believing his ears. "Wait, what did you just say?"

"I said, I'll agree to it," Sasuke repeated, his face strained with determination. Naruto hadn't expected such a response; Sasuke was serious, willing to go through with it just for a chance to become stronger. Naruto suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

Before Naruto could fully grasp the situation, Sasuke noticed Haruno Sakura standing by the street, her expression one of utter shock. She approached them, eyeing Naruto in disbelief. "Wait, Naruto...did you...?" She trailed off, glancing uneasily between him and Sasuke. "Did you catch Sasuke?"

Naruto was speechless. Sasuke's face stiffened. How could he explain this? He certainly couldn't say that he'd agreed to Naruto's conditions voluntarily. Naruto, also lost for words, remained silent, unwilling to dig himself a deeper hole. Misinterpreting their silence, Sakura covered her mouth, looking horrified. "I'll go," she whispered, turning and dashing away with a look of heartbreak.

Ignoring Sakura's misunderstanding, Sasuke turned back to Naruto with a scowl. "Let's go shopping for what you want me to wear," he said reluctantly.

Half an hour later, they returned to Naruto's apartment with a brand-new outfit. In the bathroom, Sasuke held the delicate, pink clothes in his hands, fighting off waves of embarrassment. Could he really give up his pride like this? But then he remembered Uchiha Itachi. He steeled himself, resolving to go through with it.

Not long after, Sasuke emerged from the bathroom with a stiff expression. Naruto, meanwhile, held a camera, snapping a series of pictures of Sasuke's uncomfortable but defiant expression. Naruto tossed the stack of photos into a drawer, feeling a bit bad for forcing Sasuke into this. He'd honestly expected him to back out. But it was clear now that Sasuke was willing to sacrifice everything for strength.

After the photoshoot, Naruto handed Sasuke a list of exercises from his previous life, like push-ups and basic stances. Though Sasuke was puzzled, he tried them, sweating profusely. Just then, Sakura, who had been following them secretly, peeked around a corner and saw Sasuke leaving Naruto's room, drenched in sweat and wobbly on his feet. Her face twisted in shock. She whispered, "No way...did Naruto really...?"

Naruto, unaware of her reaction, decided it was time to attempt a simulation with his system. Since he had completed a few missions, he could draw five character attributes.

[Surname: Uzumaki

Talent: Might Dai

Health: Hidan

IQ: Nara Shikaku

Character: Nohara Rin

Relationships: Uzumaki Naruto-Childhood

Appearance: Might Guy

Hobby: Fu

Specialties: Nara Shikamaru]

[System Evaluation: A wise ninja from the Uzumaki clan with great intelligence and an exceptionally resilient body that can heal quickly. While you are gentle and kind, others tend to dislike you for no clear reason.]

[Simulation Timeline: The Second Ninja War]

[Character Birthplace: Konoha Village]

[Start Simulation!]

The system displayed the events:

[You were born in Konoha Village and attended the ninja school founded by the Second Hokage. You befriended Jiraiya and, though you are kind, no one else really likes you for reasons unknown.]

Naruto chuckled, "This is going to be interesting." He continued to follow the simulation as it progressed:

[You graduated from the academy. Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, offered to take you on as an apprentice, intending to make you the next Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. You agreed.]

"I can handle a second Nine-Tails," Naruto thought, imagining the power boost this would bring.

The simulation resumed:

[Uzumaki Mito, the previous Jinchūriki, passed away, and Konoha secretly sealed the Nine-Tails within you. You gained strength but grew more isolated. As wars raged and Konoha was thrown into conflict, you were kept under heavy guard, and your mental state began to decline.]

As the years passed, Naruto saw the effects of loneliness in the simulation:

[Eventually, the Third Ninja War ended. Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage, took power, but you remained a recluse, mistrusted by the village despite your kind nature.]

Naruto frowned at the simulation's relentless loneliness. "Guess kindness isn't always rewarded," he muttered. He read on:

[One day, you were attacked by a masked man who stole the Nine-Tails from you. Though you barely survived, the village blamed you for the release of the Nine-Tails, causing further mistrust. Hiruzen resumed power, and your isolation deepened.]

In the end, Naruto's character could no longer cope with the constant mistrust and chose to end his life quietly.
