Chapter 1: Pain
Chapter Text
Our story begins in Konoha in the Land of Fire, more precisely in the Folha library, where the protagonist of our story loves to spend his free time surrounded by books of children's stories. His name is Naruto, just Naruto (after all, the Hokage never spoke of which family or clan he belonged to), he is 6 years old, unruly blonde hair that seems to like defying gravity, he has birthmarks on his cheeks that look like 3 mustaches cat on each side and blue eyes so intense that they hypnotize anyone.
Naruto received financial assistance from the Hokage every month to help him support himself by living alone, he was leaving the library and going to the fire building to receive his "allowance" when the youngest noticed a strange movement behind him, but he He ignored him and continued on his way but was stopped by residents 2 blocks from the Hokage's office, they dragged him to an alley and started another session of aggression against the minor.
– Why does the Hokage protect you, damn demon? – Asked the first villager as he punched the blonde in the face.
– Because of you, my daughter died, you wretched monster. – Said another villager, kicking his stomach.
The section of aggression and insults continued for a while longer, this was not by far the first time this had happened and it only got worse the closer it got to his birthday, the little blond could only be grateful that it was civilians attacking him this time, After all, ninjas use their chakra to make their attacks stronger.
It didn't take long for Naruto to lose consciousness and when that happened it was the turn of the disgruntled ninjas to have a little senseless revenge, as they were directly commanded by the elders they had a certain immunity, the ninjas picked up the little blond-haired boy and took him to training ground 44 and threw him into a corner to hopefully be devoured by the creatures that live in the Forest of Death.
When Naruto opened his eyes he was in a dimly lit room, looking around he noticed several metal pipes on the walls, the ceiling was covered with marks of mold and rust, the floor was flooded just enough to wet the boy's feet. 6 years old, the murky water was only 1cm high, the walls to his right and left had a tunnel each.
Naruto looked at the two tunnels trying to find out where the exit was, but as he didn't find any exit he decided that the best thing to do for now was to choose one of the paths and see where it led. Without thinking much he followed the path to the right, after walking for a few minutes the little blonde finally began to see a glow indicating the end of the tunnel, the light wasn't strong but it was comforting for the boy, he quickened his pace until he reached a huge round room the size of the Forest of Death with a ceiling so high that it was impossible to see, on the walls there were several wooden doors and a rusty metal door locked with large padlocks and thick chains, in the middle of this room there was a huge ball of crystal floating and emitting a faint golden glow, the scene would be beautiful if it weren't for a small crack ruining the landscape, when Naruto approached the crystal ball it began to show recent scenes of the times he went to the library or Ichiraku alone or with others. from Iruka-Sensei or, very rarely, from the Hokage.
One scene in particular appeared at the moment and it was his first time going to Ichiraku on a rainy day, Teuchi-jiji was the only civilian to treat him like a normal child and the only merchant to not refuse to serve him and to top it off the little one he met Ayame-Nee-San who treated him like a younger brother. While watching this scene with a smile on his face, the blonde noticed the crack getting smaller until it disappeared, he would have looked at each door for a hint of where he was if a noise hadn't caught his attention, the noise had come from the tunnel where he arrived and the blonde didn't need long to realize that the sound had come from the other way in that room.
Naruto would have ignored the strange noise if it weren't for it repeating itself this time more clearly, it was a yawn, and that was enough to pique the curiosity of the child who started running until he stopped in the room where he had started, the boy began to walk along the left path carefully, alert to any threat.
It didn't take long to arrive in a room similar to the one I had started in, but much larger and with thick iron bars going from the invisible ceiling to the floor dividing the room in half. On the other side of these bars there was a figure that made small movements that, Even though he wasn't an expert, the little one recognized it as calm breathing, whatever the creature was that yawned, he finally fell asleep.
In another place an elderly man was sitting in his office, he was waiting for a visit from a sweet child who is in his care, but as time passed he did not arrive, worried about what could have happened he soon called his elite to to search for.
– Inu, Neko, Tenzo. – He called the man sitting in his chair, not even showing a reaction when three silhouettes appeared in front of him. – Naruto was supposed to come today but he's late and I'm worried about him. – He explained, lighting a pipe while looking at the three newcomers who wore masks, the first wore a dog mask, the other two wore variables of a cat mask, one with details in red and the other with details in green and red. – Find him and bring him here.
– Hai, Hokage-Sama. – Said the three masked men in unison to the now named Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As soon as the three masked men left the place Hiruzen turned to the window and faced the cloudy late afternoon sky, the feeling that something bad was going to happen hadn't left her since the moment she woke up, the last time she had that feeling it lasted a week and only stopped when the fearsome nine-tailed fox was sealed again six years ago.
Shortly after the search was ordered a small pug broke into the office, he was wearing a blue vest with a heno-heno-moheji seal on the back and a bandana on his head like a helmet.
– They found Naruto, Hokage-Sama. – She said the little pug with a deep voice, stopping on the table. – He was found unconscious and badly injured in the Forest of Death, they thought it best to take the boy to his home.
– If he's that bad then why not go to the hospital? – Sarutobi asked, uncomfortable with the decision.
– Because when they arrived at him, the fox's chakra had already started to heal him. – Explained the little dog. – They stayed with the boy to control the fox if he takes control. – He finished his report by exploding into smoke as all summons do when they return home.
As soon as Pakkun was gone Hiruzen left his office and went straight to the little blonde's house, as soon as he arrived there he found the three masked men around the bed where Naruto was lying unconscious, this one in turn had small concentrations of chakra red and bubbly across his small, shirtless body, where the red chakra was concentrated it was possible to see purple bruises on his skin beginning to lighten due to the healing.
This scene made the old Sandaime's heart ache, this feeling was only made worse by knowing that he couldn't do anything to stop the little one's suffering as it would be dangerous for him if the truth were revealed, all he could do was pray for the little one's well-being. boy, while lost in thought Naruto started to wake up.
Chapter 2: System
Notes:
This chapter is boring because there was NO video game from that period for him to use as a reference, hence this more "technical" chapter!
Chapter Text
When Naruto woke up he came across the roof of his room, turning his face towards the window he could see a young man with black hair and a cat mask with red details, at the foot of his bed there was a young man with silver hair and dog mask, on the side of the corridor there was a young man with brown hair and a cat mask with red and green details, right behind him was the Sandaime Hokage who he should have visited that day.
– Inu-nii-san? Jiji? – The little blonde said with difficulty, drawing the elderly man's attention. – How did I get here? – He asked without understanding.
– When you didn’t show up, I asked them to look for you. – Explained the old man. – They found you in the Forest of Death. Naruto, do you remember what happened?
– I remember going to see you and being attacked by civilians on the way. – Explained the jinchuuriki. – Jiji, did I do something wrong? Why do they hate me so much? – He asked, threatening to start crying.
– You didn't do anything wrong, Naruto. – Hiruzen said, approaching and kneeling next to the smaller boy's bed. – At the moment I can't explain to you why I'm treated like this, but when the time comes, I'll tell you everything, I promise. – He said, starting to get up. – Unfortunately I need to go back to work.
– Have a good job, Jiji. – Said Naruto, following the four figures with his gaze.
– Find those responsible and hand them over to Ibiki. – The Hokage said to the Ambus after leaving the boy's house.
– Hai, Hokage-Sama. – The three responded together.
– So they can't see that? – Naruto asked aloud, staring at a translucent screen.
The screen had a very light blue tone with white letters, in the text box there was something written that left the blonde confused. “Initializing the system” , the blonde didn't know what that meant but he didn't have much time to think about it as new screens appeared in front of him, overlapping one another. “User detected. Starting Emergency Mission: Tutorial.”
“Chain Mission: Tutorial 1/3 – You were chosen to become stronger than human limits, for this you will receive the help of a special system that will help you grow, the system works with voice or mental commands. Purpose: Open status window. Reward: Given at the end of the chain mission. Failure: Inability to proceed to next mission.”
– Well, trying won't take out a piece. – The boy gave in, sitting on the bed. – Open status window.
As soon as he finished speaking a new screen appeared, it had the same tone as the previous ones but was clearly bigger than them. “Name: Naruto (?)| Age: 6 years.| Level: 1 (next level: 0%)| Class: None.| Titles: (?), (?), (?), Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.| Hit Points (HP): 140/150 | Chakra points (CP): 200/200 | Strength: 3| Vitality: 15 | Dexterity: 2 | Intelligence: 2| Wisdom: 1| Luck: 3| Available attribute points: 5.”
- But what does it mean? – Naruto asked, clicking on the question mark next to his name. “Family name: With a past shrouded in mystery it is your obligation to seek out the truth, when you discover your full name the mission <Lost Legacy> will be unlocked.” – Okay, my past is a sea of lies and mysteries, nothing new so far. – He said, now touching the level. “The higher the level the higher the status rate and the more missions and benefits unlock, 2 attribute points are given per level.” – That sounds interesting. – He commented now playing in class. “When the requirements are met, a class change mission will be generated. Requirements: Level: 40” . – It’s still a long way off, now the titles. – “(?): +3 attribute points per level.” – Now the available points make sense, as much as I wanted to know what those question marks were. – “(?): Benefits in the store opened at level 20.” – Do you have a store too? Sugoi! – “(?): +75 HP +75 CP.” – Okay, so it's not normal to have that much chakra. – “Kyuubi’s Jinchuuriki: +50 HP +100 CP.” – So, apart from these titles I should only have 25 life and 25 chakra?
– Now, what are these measures for? – He asked, touching the first attribute on the list. “Strength: Responsible for physical damage caused and resistance against physical attacks.” – Apparently I'm going to have to increase this in order to survive. – He said, sighing and moving on to the next one. “Vitality: Responsible for the rate of life and chakra regeneration per minute.” – Apparently I'm only alive today thanks to this attribute being high. – He said, shocked, moving on to the next person. “Dexterity: Responsible for reducing chakra consumption and increasing the strength of jutsus.” – If I understand correctly what this system is saying then... even if I use all my chakra I could still fail a simple jutsu. – He said, spilling a single comical drop and moving on to the next. “Intelligence: Responsible for cognitive capacity in addition to increasing the amount of chakra it can store.” – I feel like this system is calling me stupid. – He said, staring at the screen with a grimace that was a mix of anger and confusion and moved on to the next one. “Wisdom: Responsible for increasing the speed of reasoning in addition to increasing the maximum life limit.” – This one seems important. – Said Naruto with wide eyes, moving on to the next person. “Luck: Able to change the cause and effect order of the world, increases the rate of special items as rewards.” – This seems to have infinite potential.
– Now the last one left is this one. – He said, touching the last icon. “Available attribute points: Used to increase statistics as you wish, be careful when choosing, it is not possible to reverse the choice, special objects increase specific attributes that will appear among relatives.” “To complete <Chain Quest: Tutorial 1/3> you need to distribute attribute points.” – It seems easy but it’s difficult, which one do I choose? – The blonde pondered but soon decided to put 2 points in strength and the other 3 in intelligence.
“Name: Naruto (?)| Age: 6 years.| Level: 1 (next level: 0%)| Class: None.| Titles: (?), (?), (?), Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.| Hit Points (HP): 145/150 | Chakra points (CP): 230/230 | Strength: 5| Vitality: 15 | Dexterity: 2 | Intelligence: 5| Wisdom: 1| Luck: 3| Available attribute points: 0.” “Tutorial mission 1/3 complete.” “Chain Mission: Tutorial 2/3 – Over time, the need for a means of transporting large quantities of objects moved humanity to parchment sealing techniques, but the system has a better and unlimited method. Objective: Open inventory. Reward: Given at the end of the chain mission. Failure: Inability to proceed to next mission.”
- What would that be? – Naruto asked, even with some difficult words he still managed to understand what the text said, he gave credit for this achievement to the points placed in intelligence. – Inventory? – As soon as he expressed his doubt, a new screen appeared, this one had small squares placed in ten lines of ten squares each, below the last line there was a rectangle with a number. “To complete <Chain Mission: Tutorial 2/3> you need to put something into your inventory and then take it out.” “Warning, you can only put something that comes into contact with your hand.” “Warning, impossible to place living beings in inventory.”
– Okay, this one is easier than the previous one and seems to come with a wallet function. – He said, looking around, his eyes stopped on a small roll of bandages that he usually used for first aid. – That should do the trick. – He said, taking the roll, while he was thinking about how to put it in the inventory, the object began to disintegrate into particles of blue light, when he finished there was an image in the first square of the inventory of a mini roll, while he was thinking about how to take it out, the image disappeared. and the bandage began to materialize on his hand. – So this is how it works. – Exclaimed the blonde as the object finished materializing. “Tutorial mission 2/3 complete.” “Chain Mission: Tutorial 3/3 – The safest way to gain experience and level up is by completing missions given by the system. Objective open mission window. Reward: Random box (C) Failure: Unable to proceed to next mission.”
– What an anticlimactic explanation compared to the previous ones. – Said Naruto with a pout. – What does this letter mean? – As if the system had heard your question, a new window appeared. “Objects are divided into 7 categories: Common (C), Rare (R), Epic (E), Unique (U), Legendary (L), Extraordinary (Ex), Divine (D).” – Now I understand, well let's get this over with, mission window. – With that another screen appeared, this one was divided into lines for each mission. “Chain Quest: Tutorial – In Progress.” “Daily Quest: Preparing to Get Stronger – Not Started.” As no message appeared to explain how to complete the mission, the blonde decided to follow his instincts, choosing to tap on the mission with the same name that appeared on the previous screens. “Tutorial Mission 3/3 completed.” “Chain Quest: Tutorial completed, reward sent to inventory.” – It was easier than I thought, now what about this one? – He said, clicking on the next mission without knowing what a headache this could cause.
Chapter 3: Preparing to get stronger
Notes:
Was this chapter rubbish? Yes!
Will it get better next time? Probably not until you get to the classic!
Is there a reason you need it to be so young? It's worse!
Is the time count strange? It was a lack of more detailed research before starting!
Will there be a timeskip? Not for at least 3~5 chapters!
Are you going to continue to "Boruto"? It will, but when you get there there will be almost nothing that reminds you of the original story!
Do I regret starting this work? A little, but as a good Brazilian I don't intend to give up!
Chapter Text
As soon as Naruto touched the mission a new screen appeared, it didn't have much explanation but it was enough to understand what he needed to do. “The system will help the 'Player' in his growth. Objectives: Push-ups [0/100] | Abdominals [0/100] | Squat [0/100] | Run [0/10km] | Attention! – Failure to complete this daily quest will result in a punishment associated with this quest.” Below this last warning was the image of a small timer, clearly the mission had a time limit that would end exactly at midnight.
As it had been some time past midnight he decided that he could start in the morning, after all he felt safer during the day when the streets were busy, thus focusing on something that had been lingering in his mind since he entered that second room. and that became more evident when he saw the screens.
– Open status window. – As expected, the screen appeared again. “Name: Naruto (?)| Age: 6 years.| Level: 1 (next level: 0%)| Class: None.| Titles: (?), (?), (?), Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.| Hit Points (HP): 150/150 | Chakra points (CP): 230/230 | Strength: 5| Vitality: 15 | Dexterity: 2 | Intelligence: 5| Wisdom: 1| Luck: 3| Available attribute points: 0.” – So that was the reason I was hated, it was because of that title. – Commented the blonde, running his hand over the description of the attribute bonus. – So what I saw was the Nine-Tailed Fox. – Naruto felt bad about the revelation, but he trusted Sarutobi's word and decided to hear the whole story before making a decision.
– Inventory. – Said the blonde, making the new screen appear, unlike the first time there was already something in one of the squares, right after taking it out of the inventory he noticed that its appearance was literally a gray cube with carved details that formed a cross in each of the squares. facets, soon a small overlapping screen appeared. “Would you like to open the random box (C)? [Yes] | [No]” – Yes. – Said the blonde, in a short time the box began to break apart into particles of light that began to enter the inventory again, when it was finished there were three squares being used. In the first of them there was a kunai drawn and near the end of the square there was an 'x10', in the second there was a shuriken and the same 'x10', in the third there was a scroll.
- What is that? – Asked the jinchuuriki trying to catch the kunai, when it came out the number changed to 'x9'. – So he’s an accountant. – He commented, turning the kunai in his hands, it was nothing special, it was just a normal kunai that the ninja academy made available for training, as soon as he put the kunai away he tried it with the shuriken and had the same result and then put it away. also.
– This is the last one that came from the common class reward. – He said, taking the parchment, but was startled when a new screen appeared. “You have obtained the [Henge no Jutsu] skill scroll, would you like to learn the skill? [Yes] | [No]” – Transformation Technique? – The Uzumaki asked in surprise, but he soon accepted and the parchment turned into particles of light and entered his head. When he finished, the blonde already knew how to perform the technique, as if it were a test, two new screens appeared. “You have obtained the skill [Henge no Jutsu].”
“Henge no Jutsu (Active) Level: 1 Exp.: 0.0% CP: 5 | The Transformation Technique is generally used to transform into other people, but it also has the ability to transform into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects such as weapons.”
– I'll test it tomorrow. – Naruto said after yawning, then he went back to bed and slept, the next day would be long.
The next day it was possible to see the blond boy taking his last lap around the training field, after having a hearty breakfast and confirming that what he saw the previous morning was not an illusion, he decided that it would be better not to find out what the punishment was. he would receive for not doing it, when he finished he was exhausted because some of the exercises were counted for not having done the correct positions, so, with the exception of running, all the exercises needed to be done 3 times more than expected, but he He soon got the hang of it and continued the exercises.
- Finally. – He said, throwing himself on the floor to rest, in front of him a new screen appeared. “Mission rewards. Choose your reward. (You can choose one of the rewards below.) | Reward #1 Recover condition. | Reward #2 Skill Points (+3) | Reward #3 Random box (C)” – Okay, I know what the random box and status points are, the first reward is self-explanatory but I don't need it now. – Naruto thought, happy to finally be able to use the “difficult word” that he learned from Iruka-Sensei, it was difficult to understand the word “self-explanatory” when Umino explained it but now the boy understood the meaning.
– I choose the second reward. – Whispered the jinchuuriki, immediately thinking about where to put these points, he was torn between strength and dexterity, but he preferred to let the points accumulate and decide how to use them when he better understood this system. – Now it’s transformation training.
The blonde soon began to make the hand signs that the instructions in his mind said, on the first attempt he transformed into the Sandaime Hokage, but he was short and with big lips, his second attempt was to transform into his academy teacher, Umino Iruka, but the scar on top of his nose ended up going down and forming a mustache, at the end of the day he still hadn't achieved any decent human transformation but, while trying to have fun resting, he discovered that he has a natural talent for transforming into animals , when he stopped the skill had already evolved to level 5.
The training lasted a month, taking advantage of the ninja academy's vacation period, during that time the little one got the random box as a reward five times, but he didn't open any of them, with the training time some statuses increased naturally but never leaving level 1.
“Name: Naruto (?)| Age: 6 years.| Level: 1 (next level: 0%)| Class: None.| Titles: (?), (?), (?), Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.| Hit Points (HP): 150/150 | Chakra points (CP): 230/230 | Strength: 9 | Vitality: 15 | Dexterity: 2 | Intelligence: 5| Wisdom: 1| Luck: 3| Available attribute points: 72.” On the thirtieth day of training he picked up the sixth random box and opened it, immediately taking the new piece that just appeared into his inventory.
- A key? – The blond boy asked, looking at the gray piece in his hand, then a window with the description appeared.
“Item: Dungeon Key (R) | Type: Key | A key that allows you to create an instant dungeon. You should use it at the first entrance on the right into the 'evacuation tunnels' hall.”
– Will I have to enter the secret passages? – The blonde asked, a little worried.
Chapter 4: Underground Dungeon
Notes:
There are 3 references in this chapter. I challenge you to find which ones are from where!!
Chapter Text
Naruto didn't like the old evacuation tunnels, they were created in Hashirama's time under his brother's orders, these tunnels cut through the four corners of Konoha and, due to lack of use, they were currently in poor condition. The tunnels were dark, smelled of dust and mold and made strange noises that would scare any 6 year old like him.
The network of tunnels was made in the form of a spider web with all the paths interconnecting in a huge hall, the place had several tunnel entrances, some of them collapsed due to attacks and lack of maintenance. Among the paths there was also a large opening next to a small opening on the left side, this large tunnel was the main way out of the village in case of evacuation, while the tunnel next door was not only the smallest in terms of height but also in distance. also, it was directly linked to the surface, more precisely to a trapdoor under the stairs of the building where Naruto lived, the boy found it when he was running away from the residents and fell into the trapdoor.
Naruto went down the flight of stairs holding the gray key in his small hands, he felt uncomfortable in a closed and dark place, he mentally hoped he wouldn't have to go too deep into the tunnels, as soon as he exited the smaller passage the key in his hand hand began to glow green as a glowing blue vortex appeared in the passage next door, Naruto felt drawn to the glowing portal and as he stopped in front of him a new screen appeared.
“Zombie Queen Fendariel's Nest: The world was afflicted by a strange disease that was called the Fog of Death, each person who died became an undead who would die only by destroying their brains, among the countless zombies one evolved achieving the ability to command armies, this was the birth of the Mother of the Dead. Mission: Hunt down Queen Fendariel and her army. Reward: Random box (R) + 5 skill points. Failure: Death.”
Naruto was worried about the description, it seemed very scary, it would only be worse if it was somewhere dark and cramped, the blonde then brought the gray key closer to the gate, which in turn turned into particles of light and went through the vortex, the The blonde even tried to hold back his fear but he couldn't, his only option was to go through the portal, and so he did.
When he finally had the courage to open his eyes he found himself in a terrifying scene, on one side an infinity of dark water, on the other side a dense forest covered in fog and with a trail of stones almost erased by time, below a beach with craters and small rocks, above a night sky with many bright stars and a frightening crimson red moon.
To say that Naruto was scared would be an understatement, he simply stopped in place because of so much fear, the only sound that could be heard were the waves crashing on the beach and his heart beating like a drum, strong and fast, in his ears, it was at that time. moment Kurama woke up.
When the fox opened his eyes in anger he was prepared for whatever the reason for his jinchuuriki's panic attack was, from lack of disgusting ramen to yet another attack from villagers, but the sinister scene he saw where the boy was was certainly caught him off guard.
With a small pop in his head Naruto began to calm down, he remembered he wasn't alone, it was almost as if he could feel the fox watching what he would do next, now that he was calmer he took out a random box from the inventory, when he opened it he got 10 more kunais and shurikens as well as a new skill scroll and a lamp.
“Item: Underworld Lamp (R) | Type: Training object | The Underworld Lamp works on chakra, the brightness of the light can be regulated depending on how much chakra is added. If you drop the lamp it will continue to illuminate, absorbing 10 CP per minute, to deactivate it, hold the lamp and cut off its chakra supply.”
“You have obtained the [Explosive Seals] skill scroll, would you like to learn the skill? [Yes] | [No]" . “You have obtained the [Explosive Seals] skill.” With that now Naruto was more confident of victory thanks to his new trick up his sleeve and his new artifact as he took out a kunai from his inventory, as if the system was predicting the blonde's arrogance a new screen appeared.
“oohoohooh... ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh... Don't follow the voice that comes from the fog, child. Never go towards the visible hand in the fog, child. And if you see people wearing grayish clothes in the fog, child... run away. Otherwise the monster will get you.”
– If you wanted to scare me to death, then you did it. – Said the blonde, completely shocked by how macabre the text that had appeared in front of him was, meanwhile Kurama faced everything with a pleasant surprise, he didn't know that a technique of this level existed, it was something totally surreal.
Naruto took a deep breath and began to infuse chakra into the object, at first the light barely came out half a meter away, but soon a flash exploded that illuminated almost the entire shore of the beach where he was. In the midst of this blinding light, the blonde was able to notice that there was an old pier falling apart behind him, trying once again he finally managed to adjust the brightness of the object so that it illuminated just one meter in front of him, so he could see where he walked without warning... whatever awaited him in this dark challenge.
Naruto began to walk towards the trail through the forest, leaving the beach and the sea behind, as soon as the blonde stepped onto the old trail he began to hear a noise echo through the forest, it was undeniably the sound of a person's footsteps, walking in a Uncertainly he followed his path until he noticed his path was blocked.
The silhouette was clearly that of a man, he was a few meters away from the illuminated area, but the blonde could notice that the man was extending his hand towards him, the little jinchuuriki instantly relaxed at the scene and began to walk towards the stranger. but stopped three paces before illuminating the figure.
“Never go towards the visible hand in the fog, child,” this message echoed in his head, putting more chakra into the lamp the boy managed to see what was hidden in the fog, a man with a torn gray t-shirt offering him his hand, but he only had one arm, but what really scared the blonde was the decomposing skin peeling off the face that stared at him with a dead expression and milky eyes, if he looked further down he would notice that part of his abdomen was missing. “And if you see people in grayish clothes in the fog, child... run away. Otherwise the monster will get you.”
- Damn. – This was the first time Naruto felt that he could end up dying.
Chapter 5: Zombie Queen Fendariel's Nest
Chapter Text
Naruto jumped back at the gruesome sight of the walking corpse, he didn't know exactly what to expect when he read about the dead coming back to life, but he certainly didn't expect this abomination. Kurama was as surprised as the blonde, in his many years imprisoned in jinchuurikis, throughout three great human wars, he had never seen such a deformed corpse, to be honest, not even in the millennia in which he was free had he seen such a scene.
As if a rubber band had broken, the “creature” began to chase the blonde, his steps were slow but unstoppable, with all the dexterity he had (even without a hand) Naruto soon climbed a tree, the creature no longer followed him when he reached the feet of the tree the boy was in.
Naruto was almost having a panic attack seeing the corpse staring at him, even Kurama was already disgusted by the scene his jinchuuriki was seeing, the blonde knew that being terrified wouldn't help him in this situation, he needed some tips on how to defeat this. .. thing.
– Mission window. – Murmured Naruto. “Daily Mission: Preparing to Get Stronger – In Progress.” “Quest: Zombie Queen Fendariel’s Nest – In Progress.” As soon as the blonde tapped the name of the mission that brought him there, the explanation screen appeared again. “Zombie Queen Fendariel's Nest: The world was afflicted by a strange disease that was called the Fog of Death, each person who died became an undead who would die only by destroying their brains, among the countless zombies one evolved achieving the ability to command armies, this was the birth of the Mother of the Dead. Mission: Hunt down Queen Fendariel and her army. Reward: Random box (R) 5 skill points. Failure: Death.” – Destroying their brains... aim for the head!
Naruto didn't want to attack a human but he knew that this was the only way to stop this monster, he immediately tried to take out a kunai from his inventory and held it in his trembling hand, even though he was terrified the blonde still threw the weapon aiming for his head, then came the sound of a dull thud as the body hit the ground now permanently dead. “Zombie servant defeated. 5 exp gained.”
– Exp? What is that? – The blonde asked, but soon his status screen opened. “Name: Naruto (?)| Age: 6 years.| Level: 1 (next level: 10%) | Class: None.| Titles: (?), (?), (?), Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.| Hit Points (HP): 150/150 | Chakra points (CP): 200/230 | Strength: 9 | Vitality: 15 | Dexterity: 2 | Intelligence: 5| Wisdom: 1| Luck: 3| Available attribute points: 72.” – Are you telling me that I need to face more of these creatures to level up?
Naruto didn't have time to digest the information, after all the sounds of footsteps indicated that he was surrounded, he was worried but his nervousness went away when he saw how easy it was to take down the first one, soon six more zombies had already surrounded the tree. With a strange calmness for someone his age and in a situation like this, Naruto was throwing kunais one by one until the last one fell, each victory was another warning screen, when his seventh target fell he decided to go down, the blonde didn't. He knew how many enemies there would be on this island but he was sure he couldn't waste resources, which is why he started collecting the kunais he had thrown so he could reuse them.
Naruto only managed to walk for a short time before being surrounded by more zombies, using the same strategy as before he climbed a tree branch to hit his targets from above, now that the blonde felt more confident he began to throw two kunais at a distance. Once, the jinchuuriki couldn't see how many monsters were around him because of the fog, so he took a deep breath and began. First attack: two deaths and two screens, second attack: two deaths and four screens, this really caught his attention, two of them were warning him about the points for defeating an enemy, one of the screens that surprised him was about the new skill.
“You have learned the [Kunai Throwing] skill.” Naruto was surprised that he could learn a skill without it being through the strange scrolls, after all he was still a 6 year old child. The last screen that surprised him clearly said “You have leveled up”
– Status window. – Said the blonde, wanting to see what changes there would be as a result of leveling up. “Name: Naruto (?)| Age: 6 years.| Level: 2 (next level: 5%)| Class: None.| Titles: (?), (?), (?), Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki.| Hit Points (HP): 160/160 | Chakra points (CP): 240/240 | Strength: 10 | Vitality: 15 | Dexterity: 2 | Intelligence: 6 | Wisdom: 2| Luck: 3| Available attribute points: 77.” – There’s almost no difference. – He said, sighing and then started throwing again.
Naruto was happy with his “free exclusive training” in kunai throwing, he was so at ease with his hunting method that he ended up letting his guard down, but he only noticed his mistake when his supply of kunais ran out and the zombies were almost reaching him, when the blonde looked down he saw his 20 kunais embedded in a pile of bodies that the last three zombies were climbing to get closer to the boy, Naruto was desperate for a moment before remembering that it wasn't just kunais that he received.
Opening his inventory there they were, the set of 20 shurikens that accompanied the kunais, taking three of them from his inventory willing to put an end to this battle of resistance, as soon as the three were added to the pile another level increase warning appeared. , since no more zombies appeared, Naruto got down from the tree and started gathering his weapons in the pile of corpses, this scare was enough to make him learn not to let his guard down in a place like this.
After putting away his weapons again Naruto took the Underworld Lantern and continued following the trail through the forest, he didn't have to walk for long to reach a clearing where a city in ruins was. The floor was made of cobblestones placed forming large spirals with marble columns in the center, the columns had delicate drawings and writings drawn on them but unfortunately they were all broken, the houses only had their sides standing while the walls were spread across the floor, if Naruto If he strained his vision he would be able to see a river cutting the city in half with some fallen stone bridges.
The whole scene was beautiful and frightening in itself, a charm spoiled by the bloodbath that the moonlight offered, what spoiled the scene most were the five piles of corpses spread across the central square in front of the trail he came from, soon a movement in the nearest pile caught the blonde's attention, he expected to have to fight an army of undead but what appeared was completely unexpected, in front of his eyes a creature the height of the Hokage's tower stood up, his The body was made up of countless dead people moving around, it was a scene that would make anyone want to vomit, now in a better lit place Naruto could see a phrase glowing in orange on top of the monster's head, “Guardian Zombie Legion”.
- I will die! – Said Naruto, terrified of the creature that would be his next opponent.
