章節 107: Chapter 107 You Want to See the Maid Outfit, Don’t You?
'What's going on with her?'
Naruto's heart started pounding wildly. He wasn't sure what was happening, but her expression, her lips—they were just too cute.
'Damn, I could hardly hold it back any longer.'
'This woman is too good!'
'Where did this enchantress come from? Her approach was so outdated! Who would really forget what they were going to say just because they were too shy? She had to be lying.'
'Damn it, I couldn't let her have the upper hand.'
Both of them pretended to be calm, and they turned their heads away in sync.
"Ah, I forgot." Ino suddenly squatted down, hugging her head in frustration.
"Well… forgetting is normal." Naruto coughed, looked at Ino, who was squatting on the ground in frustration, and suddenly called out, "Ino."
"What?" Ino paused and looked up at him.
"I saw your panties."
"Aaahhh!!" Ino stood up suddenly and punched Naruto in the stomach, "Die, you pervert!"
Naruto wasn't really hurt, but after taking the punch, he decided to just stay on the ground, looking up at Ino, who was looking down at him with contempt.
"Get up." She ordered.
"My ribs are completely broken."
"Don't exaggerate. You're just pretending, right?" Ino also narrowed her eyes and looked at that shameless person in front of her.
"Not really. It does hurt a little." Naruto said, "But if you do it again, I might feel better."
Ino: "…"
"Can't you be serious for once?" Ino complained, "I need to think carefully about what I wanted to say just now. I clearly memorized it before I left the house."
"No rush, take your time." Naruto leaned against the wall.
The coolness of the alley was refreshing, relaxing him from head to toe, like being at the bottom of a well, avoiding the scorching sun outside.
Ino, dressed in a casual white shirt and a deep blue skirt, stood by the old green wall covered in vines. In the alley where sunlight couldn't reach, her legs looked so white they seemed to glow.
Ino didn't look at him and turned away.
However, she soon noticed that the gaze from behind her wasn't going away. She finally could not bear it anymore, then turned around angrily and walked towards Naruto aggressively.
"Eh? Wait! Don't hit my face!" Naruto exclaimed, covering his face in fear.
Ino didn't hit him. Instead, she bent down, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "I remember now. Dad said that the village's higher-ups plan to develop a perfect Jinchuriki, but Tsunade-sama is against it. The Advisors are undecided, and it's unclear which side they'll ultimately support."
The atmosphere suddenly grew tense. She looked at the person, who was always noisy, suddenly became silent. His messy blonde hair covered his brows, and his eyes slowly dimmed.
"Naruto… are you okay?" Ino squatted down in front of him.
She moved her hand slightly but didn't know what to do.
At that moment she realized it belatedly, and her heart felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone. She began to feel sorry for the shameless and always unserious guy in front of her.
It seemed as if everything was unfair. No one stood for him, and the word 'develop' felt incredibly cold.
She didn't fully understand the situation with the Jinchuriki and only had a general understanding of it.
In the past, she hadn't thought much of it, but the more she learned, the more she realized how contradictory the village's higher-ups were. They never saw the Jinchuriki as companions, only as a special weapon to be nurtured.
On one hand, they were wary of Jinchuriki, but on the other, they were in need of Jinchuriki.
"I'm fine." Naruto sighed as he stood up, "Let's go back."
"Um… don't worry too much. Tsunade-sama is here." Ino tried to offer some comfort but realized she hadn't thought things through. There didn't seem to be a good way to reassure him.
For a moment, she was at a loss for words.
After returning to Konoha Street and walking for quite a while, Ino suddenly found that the scenery around her was somewhat familiar. She turned her head sharply and noticed that they were right in front of the Yamanaka Flower Shop.
"You should go home now." Naruto looked at her.
"I'm not in a hurry." Ino replied, her hands behind her back, blinking rapidly as a slight panic set in.
It felt like that unsettling silence when a girlfriend suddenly says something like 'It's fine, go to sleep'. A silence so heavy even God couldn't break it, leaving one feeling more uneasy than before.
"You really should go home." Naruto repeated, glancing at Ino, "I still have some things to take care of."
"Ah? What things? Is it urgent?" Ino's panic grew as she asked.
On the roadside, Naruto gave Ino a quick look before answering, "It's nothing, really. Just some personal business. Thanks for the info. We're already in front of your home now, so you should head back. I'm going to leave."
With that, Naruto turned around and was about to leave.
"It can't be that urgent, can it?" Ino's palms were sweating as she suddenly grabbed Naruto's wrist.
"What's wrong?" Naruto was genuinely confused, but there was actually no expression on his face.
"I just… I feel like you're in a bad mood." Ino stammered, her gaze flitting around nervously, her cheeks tinged with pink.
"No, I'm not."
Naruto was telling the truth. He had a good idea of what Danzo was planning, but he hadn't expected the two Advisors to be so indecisive and not fully support Tsunade.
This was something Naruto hadn't anticipated, but it wasn't a big problem. He now had the Tail Releasing Method in his hand, meaning he could turn the tables on them at any moment.
If the plan to develop a perfect Jinchuriki was approved and something went wrong, every higher-up who supported the plan would be held accountable, possibly even losing their positions.
From Naruto's perspective, the current situation allowed him to advance or retreat strategically.
The progress of the Kyubi's power was only at 27%. Naruto's only worry is that if the seal of Kyubi is unlocked at this time, will the progress of obtaining Kyubi's power stop?
But if the advisors sided with Danzo, he'd have no choice but to unseal the Kyubi. The tricky part was figuring out what to do with the Kyubi afterward. It would be ideal if there was a better solution.
Although Naruto tried his best to get rid of his identity as a Jinchuriki, he also wondered if there might be a better way to deal with Kyubi. After all, releasing him might lead to him being captured, which didn't sit well with him.
He has raised Kyubi for so long, so he has some feelings for him.
It didn't seem appropriate to just let him go out and be chased.
He wasn't after the Kyubi's power, as the system's power was far greater. With abilities like Adamantine Sealing Chains and the Four Symbols Seal at his disposal, and both in their max level, the system had saved him the time of training. It was like the system was feeding him power directly, possibly even offering a full set of Forbidden Techniques in this Shinobi World.
As for Asura and Indra, he didn't care about them at all. After all, he wasn't originally from this world.
The Otsutsuki-raised Gods? Trash.
Naruto really did have something to do. He wanted to find Tsunade and ask about the situation.
But Ino thought he was just trying to be strong. Earlier, she hadn't been able to offer any comforting words, and now, seeing him about to leave, she felt even worse.
In desperation, Ino suddenly grabbed Naruto's wrist.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Naruto was genuinely puzzled, as his mind was occupied with other matters.
"You… you wanted to see the maid outfit, didn't you?" She lowered her head, her face flushing a deep red in an instant.

章節 108: Chapter 108 Kyubi: Is There an Uchiha Outside?
"Hmm?"
"What did you just say?"
"What? You clearly heard it!" Ino turned her face away and muttered, not daring to look Naruto in the eye.
"Can the skirt be shorter?" Naruto asked.
"No way! Absolutely not!" Ino replied indignantly, crossing her arms in front of her chest and making a big X with them.
"How about wearing black stockings?"
"I don't have anything like that!" Ino shook her head vigorously, her face showing a look of disdain, "You really are a complete pervert."
"Thanks."
"That wasn't a compliment, you bastard!"
Ino was almost driven mad by him, feeling like she was on the verge of losing her temper entirely.
"Forget it, maybe another time." Naruto unexpectedly declined.
"Huh?"
Ino was a little confused, but she felt even more uneasy. After all, such a shameless and vulgar person suddenly lost interest in something dirty, so of course it made her feel that something was wrong.
"Aren't you usually always going on about how you want to…" Ino's face flushed, her gaze shifting away, her voice trailing off. "If you're really in a bad mood, I don't really know what to say."
"You don't have to go that far." Naruto chuckled with a hint of helplessness, "I really have something to do. Honestly, I'd still love to see it, but..."
Naruto said, pointing behind Ino, "Auntie seems to be watching us from the shop."
"Ah?!!" Ino's expression changed dramatically, and like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she panicked. She quickly turned around and then jerked her head back, her pupils shaking in shock.
After leaving the Yamanaka Flower Shop, Naruto wanted to go to the Hokage Tower.
But then, considering that it was getting late, he decided this matter wasn't urgent and headed home instead.
He found a place to eat, then returned home to wash up and lie down. As soon as he closed his eyes, his consciousness sank into the seal space. What greeted him was the sight of that massive red-barred cage, and the DVD player was running idle.
Kyubi was drowsy, barely acknowledging Naruto's presence. To be honest, Naruto hoped that Kyubi would become a charming fox spirit.
But unfortunately, Kyubi didn't seem to get it, so Naruto had to let things be for now.
The problem, though, was that there wasn't a suitable vessel for Kyubi to possess. The power of these Biju is too strong, and other than a Jinchuriki, there was no container capable of holding them.
Either release them or keep them sealed.
In fact, Naruto was more inclined to let Kyubi go, although it might cause some harm, but what would the future hold? He wanted to ask Kyubi first and let him choose for himself.
But regardless of the choice, unsealing Kyubi was inevitable.
"Kurama, wake up. I have something to talk to you."
Naruto's voice echoed in the sealed space, prompting Kyubi to reluctantly open his eyes. He seemed to have a bit of a grumpy wake-up attitude, glaring at Naruto with a fierce expression.
"Kid, if you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't disturb me while I'm sleeping."
"The day you get out of here is coming soon, you bastard." Naruto walked up to the red bars and kicked them, then asked in an irritated tone, "I want to know where you want to go."
"Out of here?" Kyuubi suddenly lifted his head, and a glint of light finally appeared in his large eyes.
But soon that light turned into confusion, which then shifted to suspicion, and his attitude quickly became arrogant again.
"Human, do you really think you can fool me with your lies?"
Kyubi banged his paw against the bars, showing a face that said, 'I've already figured out everything.' He bared his sharp teeth, his face almost pressing against the cage.
"I've seen through your tricks! Are you trying to use me as a shield again?"
"There's an Uchiha brat outside, right?"
"No, there are no Uchiha in Konoha anymore." Naruto spread his hands and said in a mocking tone, "No way, could it be that the strongest Biju is afraid of mere Uchiha Shinobi?"
"Shouldn't trash like them be the ones afraid of the great Kurama, the strongest of all Biju?"
"Not like me, living under the shadow of Uchiha Itachi every day, never feeling at ease… it's truly unbearable."
"Uchiha Itachi?" Kyubi seemed to enjoy the compliment and said in a mocking tone, "Are you talking about that little brat who started that fire some time ago?"
"Yeah, he's probably the strongest among the Uchiha, right?" Naruto said, lying through his teeth.
"The strongest Uchiha?" Kyubi gave him a disdainful look.
"Anyway, it's time to make a choice, Kurama." Naruto suddenly became serious, "I'm going to remove the seal and let you out."
"Have you had enough of living?"
"Nope." Naruto shook his head, then looked at the mountain-sized Kyubi and said, "I've found a way to remove the seal without dying. You don't have to worry about that."
"What I want to know is, what do you plan to do once you're out?"
"Destroy Konoha!" Kyubi replied without hesitation.
"Well, it's up to you." Naruto sighed, rubbing his forehead, "But if you do that, you probably won't get far. Do you really want to be captured again?"
"Then what do you suggest?"
"I don't have any good ideas right now. I'm just giving you a heads-up." Naruto looked up at Kyubi, "Destroy the Konoha Village if you want, just don't step on my house."
Naruto pulled his consciousness out of the seal space.
Naruto lay there with his eyes half-closed. The sky outside the window was gloomy and the living room was also dim.
What he said earlier was partly to coax the fox. He wouldn't remove the seal while in Konoha. After all, if Kyubi really did as he said and destroy Konoha after he came out, then Naruto would be the one who suffered.
Biju can't die, so at worst, they can just start over again.
But all the crimes they'd done will be pushed onto the Jinchuriki's head. Naruto will never be so lenient to Kyubi. After all, an obedient fox is a good fox.
The higher-ups have already had the idea of developing a perfect Jinchuriki, even drafting proposals.
Meanwhile, Kyubi's mind is set on destroying Konoha. If such thing really happens, no one would listen to Naruto's explanations. Not only would he have to take the blame, he might even become a Missing-nin.
He had finally earned the right to walk around freely in Konoha, and he was just a step away from dealing with Danzo. At this point, he's told to give up everything and become a Missing-nin?
He couldn't accept that.
He refused to let a mere Biju or Danzo force him into doing something he didn't want to do.
'What does the hatred of the original body and the hatred of Kyubi have to do with me?'
With this thought in mind, Naruto slowly closed his eyes.
But he didn't sleep well that night. He dreamt of Kyubi attacking Konoha, with Ino and Hinata standing on a rooftop in their Chunin uniforms. Their eyes were filled with despair as a Bijudama descended upon them.
Naruto woke up several times, drinking water in the kitchen each time, before finally managing to sleep until dawn.
The next day.
Naruto, who didn't get up until noon, washed up with his eyes closed, ate some bread and milk, and went out.
He still had no clear plan about yesterday's events. He had the Sealing Technique to control Kyubi. And with Tsunade around, Danzo would be kept in check, but these measures were only enough to serve as a guarantee for the Jinchuriki to live a stable life and they wouldn't break the deadlock.
He needed to talk to Tsunade and find out where she stood.
