This Naruto Is a Player!

"First Recharge Pack?"

Seeing the golden glowing pack, Naruto instinctively checked its price.

"Only 10 Ryo?"

Converted, that was just 1 yuan. Was this a benefit?

He thought this item would be like other goods, at least 100 Ryo.

Only 10 Ryo, he bought it.

[You have purchased the First Recharge Pack. Please check your inventory.]

Opening his inventory, a gift pack lay inside. It looked remarkably similar to the Newbie Pack, clearly carved from the same mold.

Naruto immediately selected the pack and opened it.

[You obtained: Three Basic Jutsu, Fine Kunai x10, Fine Shuriken x100]

This...

"The drop rate seems back to normal."

Perhaps the game had recovered, and that initial bug was gone?

A bit of a waste of his excitement.

Naruto had expected something like the Newbie Pack again, with one Unique and two Limited items. He was all ready to celebrate.

But this?

Naruto looked at his inventory again.

The inventory wasn't large, with a 9x9 grid, totaling 81 slots.

However, it seemed like items could stack. The newly acquired kunai and shuriken only took up two slots, with a small number indicating the stack count.

'These are the weapons of the ninja world?' Naruto guessed, seeing the two weapons in his inventory.

The kunai had a strange shape, looking like a spearhead with a handle. The other was the four-pointed throwing star style Naruto recognized.

Naruto took out a kunai and held it. The blade was sharp, but the handle was a bit large for his small hand.

But, was the name reversed? Naruto felt a bit like the "confused Black man" meme. Didn't this kunai look more like a shuriken?

Was it a translation error?

Naruto put away the shuriken... no, the kunai. Such things didn't really matter; he just needed to know what they were called.

His gaze then fell on the three scrolls in his inventory. These appeared in his inventory at the same time as the kunai and shuriken, so they must be the Three Basic Jutsu he mentioned when chatting with that old man earlier, right? He used to think they were some kind of 'divine powers,' which was why he exchanged three grilled fish for the detailed hand signs.

Naruto took out one of the scrolls, ready to see if it was as the old man described. As soon as he took it out, a prompt popped up.

[Do you want to learn: Clone Jutsu?]

This was a skill scroll? Naruto decisively chose Yes.

[You have acquired skill: Clone Jutsu 1/100 (Initiate)]

[Your Clone Jutsu proficiency +3600]

As the proficiency increased, a vast amount of knowledge and techniques instantly flooded Naruto's mind. It was as if he had already trained with this skill thousands, tens of thousands of times, becoming intimately familiar with it.

"+3600?"

Oh, his SSSSSS talent was at work.

He checked the skill.

Clone Jutsu: 3601/5000 (Master)

"Just as expected."

Seeing this, Naruto immediately chose to learn the other two skills. His SSSSSS talent continued to work steadily.

Substitution Jutsu: 3601/5000 (Master)

Transformation Jutsu: 3601/5000 (Master)

Naruto was immensely pleased looking at the three jutsu he had just learned.

Ninjutsu? Easy as pie!

However, these three skills seemed pretty useless.

Clone Jutsu: The clones are just shadows, only capable of misleading others; they have no substance and cannot attack.

Substitution Jutsu: This one is only for taking hits.

Transformation Jutsu: Although he could transform into other people, even if he transformed into the Hokage, his own strength level would remain the same.

He took out a throwing star... no, a shuriken from his inventory. Naruto fiddled with it in his hand, and then... he couldn't hold back anymore.

He got a unique rarity talent from the Newbie Pack, and he thought that was the game's normal standard, so he opened the game full of anticipation, and then this?

No, seriously.

Not only were all three jutsu useless, but he had no idea how to use this little thing at all. Even if he did, what good would it do? Could this small shuriken actually kill someone?

"I should've chosen C," Naruto muttered, "The Nine-Tails wasn't bad either." He suddenly remembered something.

He quickly opened his attribute panel.

Status: Yang · Nine-Tails (Sealed) (Recyclable).

The green "Recyclable" text in this section gleamed.

Naruto didn't know how this recyclable Nine-Tails came to be. If it was in his body, then it was his.

He had seen it in the shop. That crimson, nine-tailed fox, he didn't know if it was male or female, named Nine-Tails. Its price was 200,000 RMB, or 2,000,000 Ryo.

Just now he was amazed by the game's pay-to-win level, and at the wealth of rich players, but now he wasn't jealous anymore. Because that money was about to be his! 200,000 yuan, 2,000,000 Ryo, even if the recycling price was only half, it would still be 1,000,000 Ryo, right?

With that much money, wouldn't he be able to buy all the skills in the skill shop?

But...

Naruto grit his teeth, making a huge decision, and resisted the temptation. This stemmed from his life's maxim:

[When the situation is unclear, maintaining the status quo is the best option.]

Naruto wasn't sure how this Nine-Tails appeared, but since it was in his body, there had to be a reason. Naruto decided not to touch the creature until he understood why it was there.

"But where exactly is this guy?"

Naruto searched all over, but couldn't find any trace of it. Finally, his gaze fell to his stomach. There was a pile of some indecipherable symbols.

Naruto initially thought this was an unknown tattoo, but after learning about the existence of sealing jutsu, Naruto felt it was some kind of seal.

"A seal? Is it really necessary?"

Recalling the demonstration video, where the Nine-Tails was only slightly taller than weeds, looking like a large dog at most, Naruto expressed his confusion. Was that small thing really that destructive?

"Forget it," Naruto sighed. He still knew too little about this world.

Putting the shuriken back into his inventory, Naruto opened the skill shop again. If he remembered correctly, today was April 30th. Tomorrow he would receive his living expenses, 30,000 Ryo. This money would be enough to buy a revive coin and several powerful ninjutsu. By then, his safety should be secured.

Naruto closed the skill shop, finding the four functions rather boring.

The shop and skill house just made him crave things he couldn't afford. The duel arena was locked; according to the description, the minimum entry requirement was Chunin.

It seemed only the training ground was left.

So, Naruto decided to check out the training ground.

He clicked "Enter."

A loading screen popped up, showing many options.

Map sizes included 1x1, 10x10, 100x100, and a paid 1000x1000, all in kilometers. Naruto decisively chose the free, largest option, 100x100.

There were many terrain choices. Naruto randomly selected seven terrain options: plains, islands, hills, mountains, forests, lakes, and oceans. For the specific map, he chose random generation.

The next moment, his vision went black. Then, he felt solid ground beneath his feet, and his nose once again breathed fresh air.

Naruto opened his eyes to see a plain stretching before him, with a forest in the distance. He turned his head; not far behind him was a massive lake, which connected to the ocean via a large river further out.

"This sunlight, this air, this breeze, and this texture. What's the difference between this and reality?"

Naruto perceived everything in the training ground, feeling quite dazed. If his surroundings hadn't changed, he would have thought he was still in reality.

Just as he was further experiencing the place,

ROOOOAR~~~

An indescribably massive roar echoed through the air. The sound was terrifying, startling Naruto. He had never heard such an enormous and terrifying roar.

This colossal roar seemed to transport Naruto back to his previous life. That was the first time he watched the Long March 5 (China's space rocket) launch; the sound of the gigantic rocket launching was unforgettable. The resonance of the sound waves with the air, even from kilometers away, still pounded his chest in waves. It was the first time he truly understood that sound was a wave.

That one time, Naruto's megalophobia flared up. If the rocket hadn't been an inanimate object, he would have turned and fled.

Now, a similarly massive sound seemed to rip through the air, its immense roar making him tremble.

Thump-thump~~

The ground seemed to quake; Naruto knew this was the monster moving. Then, from beyond the forest, a giant creature finally emerged, nine tails swaying behind it.

"This is... the Nine-Tails?" Naruto was somewhat incredulous.

The Nine-Tails was this big?

That's pretty cool.

Why didn't this combat pet look so big in the shop earlier?

He clicked to check again.

Damn!

He thought the green stuff under the Nine-Tails in the demonstration video were all grass. Now he saw they were trees!

I underestimated it.

At this moment, the monster spotted Naruto and began walking towards him.
