Chapter 10: Does the Uzumaki Clan Have Something Like the Rinnegan?
Nighttime, Konoha Village – Ichiraku Ramen
"Naruto… about the way things were before…"
Iruka scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed as he spoke.
"No need to worry about it," Naruto replied calmly.
Iruka had always treated him decently in daily life.
And honestly, there was no deep grudge or life-or-death hatred between them.
Ahem…
Iruka's old face flushed red—he nearly choked.
His student really was quite magnanimous.
Thinking back on his own past behavior…
Iruka felt a bit ashamed.
"By the way, Iruka-sensei," Naruto suddenly said.
Iruka blinked. "What's up?"
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto casually formed a single hand seal—just going through the motions.
Hand seals? So low-class!
Who seriously uses hand seals in the later stages?!
And kunai throwing too—getting pinpoint accuracy is pointless when a casual wave can block them all.
Bang—
A shadow clone appeared beside Naruto—completely under his control.
He could even switch his consciousness into it, controlling its thoughts and actions like changing modes!
This god-level puppet shadow clone from the system was seriously overpowered!
Iruka's jaw dropped.
During the graduation exam this morning,
the shadow clones Naruto produced had zero strength.
They couldn't even really be called shadow clones.
But now…
Before Iruka could say anything—
Bang bang bang—
Three more shadow clones appeared behind Naruto.
Iruka was completely stunned.
Since when had Naruto become this strong?
Summoning four shadow clones at once?
Even for him as a teacher, summoning a single shadow clone required a decent amount of chakra—and it wasn't easy!
"Iruka-sensei, can I graduate now?"
Naruto asked.
He had zero interest in staying in the "starting village" playing in the mud with little kids.
If he didn't become a genin, how was he supposed to meet his wife?
Not to mention the adorable little sister-in-law.
And all the other cute girls.
Iruka's eyes widened. He swallowed hard, barely able to believe it.
"Naruto… how did you learn the Shadow Clone Technique?"
"And you summoned four at once… your chakra reserves shouldn't be that large…"
Naruto gave him a look like he was staring at an idiot.
Calmly, he reminded him:
"Iruka-sensei… did you forget that I'm the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Oh!!!
Right!!!
The reminder hit Iruka like a brick.
Of course—the Nine-Tails' chakra was massive!
No way a weak chunin like him could compare.
"Iruka-sensei, you still haven't answered whether I can graduate."
"Ah? Yes—you've graduated! No problem at all. I'll handle the paperwork tomorrow."
Iruka snapped back to reality.
As expected of the Fourth Hokage's son.
Naruto's talent was actually quite high.
So why hadn't he noticed before???
Was he too focused on the kid's flaws?
No, no—that kind of preconceived bias had to change.
"Mhm. Thanks, Iruka-sensei. I'm full—thanks for the treat. I'll head back now."
"Naruto, want sensei to walk you home?"
"I'm not a little kid who doesn't know the way."
"You'll always be a kid in sensei's eyes."
"That's just your opinion."
"…"
Watching Naruto gradually walk away, a relieved smile spread across Iruka's face.
It felt like a parent watching a mischievous child finally grow up.
"He's finally grown up… Fourth Hokage, congratulations—you raised a fine son…"
Click—
The key turned.
Naruto pushed open the door and stepped inside.
Snap—he flicked on the light.
The room was both familiar and foreign.
Ramen cups scattered everywhere.
Three words: dirty, messy, chaotic.
A perfect showcase of terrible living conditions.
Bang bang bang—
Naruto summoned three more shadow clones.
"You three—clean this entire place. Divide the tasks and finish quickly!"
"Yes, sir!"
The clones—lacking any independent consciousness and obeying unconditionally—immediately got to work.
Naruto didn't idle either.
While the clones cleaned, he went to take a shower.
Twenty minutes later, when he came out,
the room had completely transformed.
Spotless, tidy, no trace of grime.
After finishing their assigned tasks, the shadow clones dispersed on their own!
"Time to see how to perfectly use the Nine-Tails' chakra…"
A blazing light slowly emanated from Naruto's body.
Ding! Detected that the Nine-Tails inside you is restless and attempting to pull you into the seal space for a conversation.
Option 1: Force the Nine-Tails to submit to you unconditionally.Reward: Enhanced Susanoo! (Can be used in armor form covering your Nine-Tails Mode)
Option 2: Let it cause trouble if it wants—ignore it.Reward: Title: Hidden Shinobi (no real stat boost or effect)
Option 2's reward was basically "忍者神龟" (Ninja Turtle)—hiding like a coward?
Dream on!
With his current strength, Naruto had every capability to crush the Nine-Tails.
Why fear a furry fox?
"I choose Option 1!"
Reward issuing… delivery complete. You have obtained Enhanced Susanoo.
In an instant,
Naruto's consciousness entered his inner world—
the sealed space where the Nine-Tails was imprisoned.
ROOOAR—
A furious beastly roar erupted.
The sound was so loud that the shallow puddles on the ground splashed up six or seven meters high.
Yes—the Nine-Tails had roared!
It wanted to give Naruto an intimidating welcome!
It was sealed here and couldn't mobilize any chakra.
But its mouth wasn't sealed!!
Kids scare easily, right?
A good shout should do the trick.
After all, it had gone through great effort to drag Naruto in here.
Time to show off how badass it was.
Best case—scare the kid senseless so he'd obediently tear off the seal paper.
"Roar roar roar—shut the hell up."
Golden Rinnegan flared to life.
Blazing golden-yellow flames radiated from Naruto's body.
That power was extremely familiar to the Nine-Tails.
Too familiar—like an old friend!
Holy crap! Isn't that the other half of my chakra that was torn away?!
In that moment, the Nine-Tails became extremely agitated.
It forcibly mobilized the chakra inside its body.
Even if it couldn't get out, it would cause a huge commotion.
Until it saw the golden Rinnegan in Naruto's eyes.
Only then did the entire fox finally quiet down.
Not exactly quiet.
Mostly just completely dumbfounded!
Since when does the Uzumaki clan have something like the Rinnegan?
Did something get mixed up somewhere?
