Naruto : Bastard Sytem

On the day of the Ninja Academy graduation exam, Naruto woke up early. After taking a shower, the first thing he did was head out to buy new clothes that fit him better. Since his body had grown, his old clothes felt too tight.

Like an enthusiastic young man, he eagerly went shopping.

The process of buying clothes turned out to be much easier than he had expected. This time, the store owner happily sold him the clothes.

To be honest, even though Naruto didn't have much money, he could still get by. However, the people of Konoha had always treated him poorly. So, even if he had money, it was difficult for him to buy anything.

Strangely enough, this store owner wasn't just willing to sell him clothes—she seemed quite enthusiastic about it.

"Little brother, black summer shorts and a white T-shirt would suit you better," she said with a warm smile.

The store owner's gaze never left Naruto's face the entire time. With a soft voice that he had never heard before, she added, "If you buy both together, I can give you a 50% discount."

A 50% discount? Isn't that basically giving them away for free?

Naruto looked at his reflection in the full-length mirror inside the store and touched his face. He was certain that the store owner didn't recognize him. This must be one of the perks of being handsome.

"In that case, I'll take both. Thank you."

Calmly, Naruto accepted the items he had essentially bought with his face, stepped into the changing room, put on his new clothes, and prepared to leave.

Just as he was stepping out, the enthusiastic store owner called out once more. "Little brother, don't forget to visit often!"

[ Passive selection triggered! ]

[ The enthusiastic female store owner doesn't recognize you as that troublesome kid. She has a fondness for cheerful and handsome young men like you, so she has warmly invited you. The choice you will make is… ]

[ First choice, remain polite: Say, "Thank you, but I'm not interested" with a kind yet firm tone, lower your head, and refuse her invitation. Completion reward: Pure Heart effect lasts for 300 days. ]

[ Second choice, be rational: Accept her invitation and visit her alone at midnight to discuss life. Completion reward: Three-Body Technique. ]

[ Third choice, act recklessly: Accept her invitation and devise a sophisticated plan to make her completely obedient to you, both physically and mentally, within seven days. Completion reward: Perfected Three-Body Technique. ]

[ Fourth choice, be ruthless: No need for words—kill her on the spot. Completion reward: Corpse Servant. ]

The last three choices were as sinister as ever—perhaps even more twisted than before.

But what was up with the first option? It actually seemed normal. Did the gods really have no sense of mercy? What kind of reward was this?

Three hundred days... Did he really have to discuss life with her?

Naruto pondered for a moment before shaking off the dangerous thought. That woman was too risky.

"Huh~ Then, let's give it a try."

Not wanting to waste time, Naruto sped up and ran forward. In no time, he was already far from the clothing store.

It was still only eight in the morning. Most of the villagers had just woken up, making Naruto the store's first customer. After he left, the female shopkeeper stepped outside to watch him leave.

"Oh, that little boy is adorable. Even when he's running, he's still so cute."

Naruto, now quite a distance away, stopped in front of Konoha Ninja Academy's gates. He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts.

[ Ding! If the host voluntarily leaves the target, it is considered a forfeited choice. ]

[ You shouldn't run away from life—face your future head-on. ]

Tch.

I'll decide my own future.

Naruto flashed a bright smile. The experiment was a success. He realized that if he didn't want to make a choice, he just had to walk away. That was the real choice.

Yawning, he lazily made his way into the school. Once again, he could feel the immediate impact of his improved appearance, as well as how surprisingly mature the young girls in this world were.

The moment he entered the school gates, a group of little girls shamelessly stared at his face. As he walked past them, their eyes followed his back.

Inside the school building, small groups of girls chatted and giggled while sneaking glances at him. Some even boldly tried to strike up a conversation.

However, Naruto didn't stop. He ignored them.

Humming a tune, he cheerfully made his way to his classroom.

"How annoying~"

In the classroom, the sudden noise woke up Nara Shikamaru, who had been sleeping. Slowly opening his eyes, he glanced in the direction of the commotion—only to have his eyes widen in shock, as if he had seen something terrifying.

At the classroom door, several of their female classmates were staring at a blonde boy who looked both familiar and unfamiliar.

Shikamaru couldn't believe what he was seeing. His mouth opened slightly as he rubbed his eyes vigorously before looking again.

He rubbed them once more and looked again.

It's real!

"Hey, Choji." Shikamaru nudged Akimichi Choji beside him and said, "Look over there."

"What am I supposed to be looking at?" Choji paused mid-bite of his potato chips, looked in the direction Shikamaru pointed, and muttered, "Isn't that just Naruto? What's so interesting about that?"

"Huh?"

"Wait… That's Naruto?"

Choji's potato chips slipped from his hands, and his usually squinted eyes widened instantly as if he had just seen a ghost.

Oh my god, am I hallucinating in broad daylight? Mom, Dad, please save me.

Unlike Choji, who had turned into a motionless statue, Naruto was feeling extremely bored.

The endless chatter of the girls buzzing around him was truly unbearable.

"Naruto, is that really you?"

"You've changed so much! Is this some kind of genetic mutation?"

By now, nearly the entire class had their eyes locked onto Naruto, shocked by his drastic transformation. Among them was the inconspicuous white-eyed girl, Hinata, sitting in the middle. In the front row, Sakura looked stunned, while Ino was already asking him for beauty tips.

Meanwhile, Inuzuka Kiba, holding his dog, watched Naruto with disbelief. "Naruto, did you secretly learn some kind of insanely powerful transformation technique? But wait… That can't be right. How could someone as lazy as you possibly master such an advanced technique?"

At that moment, Naruto had no time to entertain their questions. He was too focused on the four options that had just appeared before him, carefully considering which one to choose.

[ Active selection triggered! ]

[ As graduation approaches, you should enthusiastically greet your classmates. The choice you will make is… ]

[ Target 1, Hinata Hyuga: "Good morning, Hinata-chan. Are you interested in marrying me?" Completion reward: Shadow Clone Technique. ]

[ Target 4, Inuzuka Kiba: "Kiba, I heard your sister is quite beautiful. You'd better introduce her to me, or else I'll kill Akamaru and turn him into dog meat." Completion reward: Body Flicker Technique. ]
