Chapter 16: The Nine-Tails
"Well, it's a good fit."
Naruto stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself after putting on his forehead guard, with a few strands of blonde hair tied to the Konoha logo on his forehead, and a new ninja appeared in the mirror.
At this time, it was already the morning of the second day, and after dealing with Mizuki last night, everything developed as he expected, and Mizuki, the backstabber, took all the responsibility, and he got the technique he wanted and Iruka's forehead protection, which was gratifying, Coca-Cola.
As for whether Mizuki can get out of the emergency room of Konoha Hospital, or what kind of tragic fate he will have after coming out, that's not for him to consider, for him, this kind of small role may completely disappear from his memory in a few days.
As he starts his ninja career today, he has more important things to think about.
But first, he has to complete the ninja landing today, after all, he can't register with everyone in the class for a "special" graduate.
With his usual T-shirt and cropped pants, Naruto was ready to go, he had to finish the photo shoot and the ninja landing today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch up with tomorrow's shift.
The moment he went out, he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and wondered if he should put on a coat and leave, but he immediately reacted that there should be no need for him to climb to the top of the Hokage Rock today, shook his head and smiled, and went out directly.
It's a little strange to say, since he crossed, he has rarely worn a coat, although the climate of Konoha is also considered to be four distinct, but the summer is definitely unbelievably long, and it feels like the other three seasons are not as long as the summer combined, so except for rainy days, it has been very hot, and there is no need to wear a coat at all.
He wondered if it wasn't hot for the original Naruto to wear that yellow coat all day long, anyway, he couldn't stand it, maybe because he was a northerner in his previous life, and when he came here, the most difficult thing for him to get used to was the climate.
By the way, he did buy one of the iconic yellow coat because of his "familiarity", but he didn't wear it once.
Thinking about some of the things that he didn't have, he soon went to the first floor of the Hokage's office, got his registration form in the corner room, and went to the roof with the photographer to take pictures.
I really don't know if it's a habit of ninjas, and I have to come to the roof to take a picture, so he complains in his heart for a while.
He could only guess that it might be to take pictures of the Konoha street scene below, which means that behind each ninja is a village or something.
However, when he saw the photographer erecting a green cloth behind him, he was completely speechless.
After the ordinary photoshoot, he came to the Hokage's office with the registration slip glued with the photo, and under the witness of the three generations, the staff officially registered him as a ninja in the land of fire, Konoha Hidenosa.
The process went very smoothly, and since he didn't get a fancy picture like Naruto had done in the original, there was no reason for Miyome to reject his registration.
And I don't know if it's because the time he came over was different from the original plot, and he didn't see Konohamaru's intrusion during the registration process.
That's good, he's not interested in the spoiled Konohamaru anyway, and he's not in the mood to listen to this kid's boring troubles.
The only thing that surprised him a little was that he saw Miyome again, as if nothing had happened last night, that is, he didn't say any nonsense about the Will of Fire to him, and he didn't say anything about the fact that he had shown that he had "recognized his identity as a human pillar force", as if he was just here to witness him become a Konoha ninja.
This made him a little curious about what the old man of the three generations was thinking, but it was just the level of curiosity, at this time he had graduated, and it had only been a few days since he came to Orochimaru's "Konoha Collapse Plan", and it didn't matter what the three generations had in mind.
"012607, I don't know if the original Naruto's ninja number is the same?" Looking at the registration slip in his hand, Naruto guessed in his heart how disturbing the world line would be for him, the traverser.
This number is not only his ninja number, but also means that he is the 12,607th ninja since he had Konoha .
From this point of view, even if the ninja is indeed the national military group of this world, it is still very different from the army in his previous life.
It's now the 60th year of Konoha and he is the 12,607th ninja, so after counting the number of retirements over the years and the number of people killed in the three ninja wars and weekdays, it is difficult to say that there are more than 3,000 ninjas in Konoha now.
And it's this number of people, but they have to be responsible for the defense of the country of fire, and I have to say that ninjas are really hard.
If this country takes the lead in completing the iteration of gunpowder weapons, with such a high training cycle and cost of ninjas, it will take people and kill these five major countries.
He was a little suspicious that in the Fourth Ninja War, how did the 80,000 ninjas get together? What village has so many ninjas?
Could it be just in time for the baby boom population explosion that followed World War III? Naruto didn't know much about this, whether it was in his past life or now, the social sciences touched his knowledge blind spots.
He only knew that without the existence of Chakra, a ninja that was more like a combination of scouts and killers would not have been able to develop into such an important national defense force of various countries as it is today.
Most of them are still the same as the island countries in the previous life, and they barely play a role in the "village weapon fight", but when it comes to a real large-scale war, it is just an ornament.
Thinking of this, Naruto also had to sigh at the magic of the energy called "Chakra", which distorted the laws of normal human development.
However, when he thinks of Chakra, he inevitably thinks of the Ten Tails, and in this he thinks of Ma Bao Nan Hei Jue and Princess Otsuki, which are all his headaches.
Time is such a thing as slow as a year, and fast is just a snap of a finger, and counting time, it is only a little more than three or four years away from the Fourth Ninja World War.
And in six years, in addition to the point of removing the human pillar power, he thought about it and thought that he was barely reaching the average level of the middle ninja at present, which made him wonder if he could have the strength to deal with the changes in the ninja world in the next few years.
"I'm afraid this will require a period of rapid growth in strength." Looking at the statues of the four generations on the Hokage Rock in the heights, Naruto said to himself in his heart.
And how to achieve this kind of surge in strength, his first choice before was naturally the powerful forbidden techniques on the Book of Seals that he envisioned.
The identity of the Uzumaki clan and the human pillar force allows him to have almost infinite chakra, no matter how much chakra's ninjutsu is consumed for him, and with the "shadow clone cultivation method" as a backdrop, he is not afraid that he will not be able to learn those ninjutsu.
It's a pity that now it seems that he was too naïve after all.
Then the choices left to him are very limited, and no matter what he chooses, it seems that it will return to the nine-tails in his body, that is, he needs to become a real human pillar force, not just the landlord of the nine-tails in his body as he is now.
However, the power to draw out the Nine-Tails is easy to say, and the reality is that he doesn't even know how to develop the first step and communicate with the Nine-Tails.
It's not that he hasn't tried it over the years, he has tried an unknown number of methods to try to enter the space in his body to seal the Nine-Tails, thinking of using his advantage in understanding the plot to move the Nine-Tails, but none of them have been successful.
He is embarrassed here now, and he can even say to the extreme, he now doubts whether there is a nine-tails in his body, whether he has swapped bodies with him as he guessed from the original Naruto's consciousness.
Because in the past six years, he really hasn't felt any other existence in his body at all.
Whether he was angry, sad, or deliberately used ninjutsu after exhausting his whole body chakra, or even jumped off a cliff in an attempt to draw out the Nine-Tails between life and death, there was no reaction to all of these, especially when he jumped off the cliff, if he hadn't been so good at climbing trees and treading water, he might really hang there.
Since then, he has temporarily put aside the matter of becoming a real human pillar force, after all, whether he is a vortex clan or a human pillar force, he only has one life, and he can't withstand such a disaster.
However, now after the disappointment of the "Book of Seals Incident", Naruto had to pick up the idea again.
"Nine-tails, Nine-Tails, you're such a headache." Back at home, Naruto, who took off his shirt in front of the mirror, looked at the gossip seal on his abdomen, and smiled a little wryly.
