Naruto : All Genders are reversed except for me

After finishing his complaints, Naruto heard a prompt from the system again.

[Ding, Host, would you like to save the discounted item page? If not saved, the search will be cleared next time.]

Upon hearing this, Naruto was startled. "Save."

The discounted item was successfully saved. Naruto then began to think about how to meet the requirements to exchange for the "Domesticated Hashirama Cells."

Although 1,000,000 silver taels was much less than the 5 billion taels required for the True Rinnegan, it was still beyond what Naruto could afford at the moment.

Sell his house? Where would he live then?

Robbery... It seems that the only thing he could rob were a few kids' pocket change, which wouldn't be nearly enough.

Suddenly, an idea struck Naruto like a sharp blade. He remembered a conversation he had earlier with Auntie Iru at the ramen shop.

"Auntie Iru said she can sell 500 bowls of ramen a day... If one bowl costs 90 taels, then 500 bowls... that's 45,000 taels!"

A little calculation made his eyes widen in shock.

45,000 taels in one day. In 10 days, that would be 450,000 taels.

In 30 days, that would mean... a gross income of 1.35 million silver taels?

"Wow, so Auntie Iru's ramen shop is actually the hidden boss of Konoha? They make this much money?"

"Just from a bowl of ramen with such a mediocre taste, they make over a hundred thousand taels every month. What if I...?"

Robbing Auntie Iru's ramen shop was out of the question.

At this point, only Auntie Iru in Konoha had treated him well. He had to maintain some principles.

"Since that's the case... I guess I'll do this."

Naruto was feeling nervous because what he was about to search for might not even exist in the Naruto world, so he wasn't sure if he'd be able to find it.

But how would he know if he didn't try?

He searched for: [500 grams of Lotus MSG]

The screen quickly shifted, and a bag of sparkling, granular lotus-flavored MSG appeared in front of him.

Upon looking at the required cost for the exchange, it was only 10 silver taels, or 1 point of negative value or 1 point of shock value. Naruto almost started dancing with joy.

As everyone knows, the raw materials for extracting MSG are grains like wheat, and MSG's scientific name is glutamic acid. The extraction process is very complicated, involving methods like electric-point method, ion exchange, metal salt method, hydrochloric acid hydrolysis, and membrane electro-osmosis.

The finished product is a colorless or white crystalline powder, easily dissolving in water, with a very strong savory taste. When 1 gram of salt is added to 0.1-0.15 grams of monosodium glutamate, the flavor is enhanced by 4-6 times.

Naruto knew that with the complicated extraction process, and given the warped technological level in the Naruto world, nobody would have researched or refined MSG.

"I think I see a huge business opportunity here. If I could convince Auntie Iru to cooperate, I could make various jutsu, taijutsu, and secret techniques feel like child's play."

Next, Naruto searched for other seasonings: chicken essence, pepper powder, Dooku, Lee Kum Kee, Red 99, Red Lantern, Thirteen Auntie, and other hotel-exclusive seasonings.

As expected, they were all very cheap, and he could obtain them for very little cost.

With a path to earn silver taels now opened, Naruto's perspective suddenly broadened.

After activating the "Money Like Water" function, he now had 78 points of negative value, 40 points of shock value, and 10,000 silver taels.

He had to be careful with how he spent this money.

With a way to earn money now in place, it was time to think about how to gather shock value.

Since he was born with a negative value aura, he didn't need to worry about that at all.

On the other hand, shock value required an increase in his strength to obtain.

After some thought, Naruto decided not to search for any more amazing items that were out of his reach. Searching for items he couldn't afford was useless. Instead, he decided to look for something he could actually exchange.

He searched for: [Basic Lower Ninja Taijutsu Insights]

[Basic Lower Ninja Taijutsu Insights]

Exchange requires 1,000 silver taels, or 1,000 shock value, or negative value.

"Silver taels exchange."

[Ding, Confirm?]

"Confirm."

[Ding, Exchange successful. Head-boost countdown: 3 seconds, 3... 2... 1.]

As the countdown finished, a vast array of lower ninja battle scenarios appeared in Naruto's mind, as if he were actually practicing on the battlefield.

The head-boost process was quick, and Naruto was still immersed in the battle insights when it ended.

"My combat power has increased quite a bit. With this, I should be able to earn some shock value at the ninja academy. Now, I need to improve my throwing skills too."

Immediately, he searched for: [Intermediate Throwing Skills]

[Intermediate Throwing Skills]; Exchange requires 5,000 silver taels, or 1,000 shock value, or 1,000 negative value.

"Just intermediate throwing skills require 5,000 silver taels... I haven't even searched for the maximum level yet."

Looking at the 9,000 taels balance on his panel, Naruto could only grit his teeth and exchange it.

After the exchange, a large amount of information on throwing techniques with ninja tools like shuriken flooded his mind.

Slowly waking up, Naruto pulled out ten shuriken from his canvas bag, crossed his arms, and threw them with all his might.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

The ten shuriken spun rapidly in the air, whistling toward the circular target on the opposite wall.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

None of them missed; nearly all of them hit the bullseye.

The effect was almost instantaneous. Naruto smiled as he pulled the shuriken out of the target and put them back into his bag.

Suddenly...

[Ding, Received 90 points of negative emotion value from a Jonin of the Anbu.]

[Ding, Received 90 points of negative emotion value from a Jonin of the Anbu.]

Naruto was stunned but didn't care. He sat down cross-legged on the floor to concentrate on gathering chakra.

Outside, atop a large tree.

"Do you think this kid isn't sleeping at night or training, but messing around with something?"

"Yeah, can't he just be honest? Watching this kid every day is making me lazy."

The long night passed.

The two Anbu Jonin could only stare at Naruto's house, helpless.

But this was just the appetizer. The real torment was about to begin.

The next morning, at dawn.

Naruto, feeling refreshed, left his house with his canvas bag, heading for the training grounds he often frequented.

The two Anbu Jonin, who had been staring at his house all night, were now quite upset as they followed him.

[Ding, Received 90 points of negative emotion value from a Jonin of the Anbu.]

...

Hearing this, Naruto nervously shouted, "I want to become Hokage!!!"

[Ding, Received 1 point of negative emotion value from nearby villagers.]

[Ding, Received 90 points of negative emotion value from a Jonin of the Anbu.]

...

The continuous system notifications fueled Naruto's motivation.

"Yep, another day full of 70,000."

Meanwhile.

At the Uchiha clan's training grounds, Sasuke had already started warming up early.

"Last time, I was careless and got caught by Naruto, which led to my defeat. I didn't get to use my Fire Style or throwing techniques properly. Next time we fight, I have to play to my strengths and avoid his weaknesses. I can't just compete with her in brute strength."

After calmly analyzing, Sasuke was still unsettled by the loss the night before. She had been strong, but due to carelessness, she lost to Naruto.

Soon, a boy and a girl began sweating in their respective training grounds.

Two hours later, around 6:30 AM.

Naruto packed his kunai and shuriken into his canvas bag and began heading back.

He had sweated a lot, and his clothes were soaked, so he couldn't wear them again.

After a quick shower, he changed into a white T-shirt, black capris, and brown sandals before stepping out of the house and heading toward the ninja academy.

Along the way, he stopped by Auntie Iru's ramen shop to grab a bowl.

Training was a strenuous physical activity—how could he get stronger without eating well?

Even though he ate quickly, he still arrived just in time for class.

As Naruto was about to rush into the ninja academy, a shy voice came from his right.

"Naruto-oniisan."

Turning around, Naruto froze on the spot.

"Hinata's little brother…"
