Naruto: System Jinchuriki, Give Me Some Points!

"Naruto, let's form a team, you be the captain."

The Sword Saintess said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, three pop-up windows appeared side-by-side in front of Naruto—

"Side Quest: Sword Saintess's Invitation"

"Quest Content: Form your own adventurers team; including yourself, there must be no less than three members."

"Quest Reward: Obtain Underground City Team Badge (Purple) * 1, gain 100 experience points."

"Side Quest: Goblins Must Die"

"Quest Content: 1. Kill 3000 Goblins. 2. Raise adventurer level to Silver Rank."

"Quest Reward: 600 exchange coupons, title 'Goblin Slayer', Goblin Slayer Set (Blue), 5000 experience points."

"Main Quest: Goblin Breeding Season"

"Quest Content: Spring has arrived, Goblins are breeding in large numbers, finally giving birth to a Goblin Hero. It is larger, stronger, and more dangerous than other Goblins, but its intelligence has not improved much. It is battle-hardened and is the BOOS of the current Underground City dungeon. Kill it and end this foul-smelling season!"

"Quest Reward: Unlock new dungeon, Profession Awakening Scroll (Purple), 500 exchange coupons, 800 experience points."

(Note: After awakening a new profession, the attribute rewards obtained with each level up will increase.)

Naruto hadn't expected so many quests to pop up at once.

And the rewards were very generous.

"Let's start with 'Sword Saintess's Invitation'."

With a thought, Naruto immediately accepted the Sword Saintess's request and formed a new adventurers team with her, which caused a stir of envy, jealousy, and hatred among the other adventurers.

"An adventurers team must have no less than three people, so one more person is needed..."

Naruto's gaze swept across the bustling adventurers hall.

Every day, new people became adventurers.

Soon, Naruto locked onto a target.

She looked like a mage, wearing a large witch's hat, with soft purple hair naturally falling to her round, perky hips, and a loose black magic robe that could not conceal her graceful, well-proportioned figure. She was about the same age as the Sword Saintess, clearly a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maiden, yet her figure was no less impressive than the Sword Saintess's.

Moreover, her way of speaking was a bit peculiar; she liked to speak slowly, one phrase at a time, making people mistake her for a stutterer.

"Can I... team up... with you?"

"Hmph hmph, I can use magic, and I'm very strong."

"Bronze-level... or below... no."

The witch was searching for teammates among the crowd.

"Go away, go away, who wants to team up with a stutterer?"

"A newcomer, wants to join a Silver Rank adventure group?"

"Yo, I invited you, and you still dislike our low level, how ungrateful!"

"Mages are too squishy, we need warriors."

The witch was either rejected or rejected others.

Just as she was feeling disappointed, Naruto walked up to her.

"Team up with me."

"I'll protect you well."

Naruto showed his signature smile, sunny and confident.

"You..."

The witch hesitated, scrutinizing Naruto, first with confusion, then surprise, and finally narrowing her slender, charming eyes, she slowly replied: "Interesting, interesting."

"Young man, it seems there's some immense power hidden within you!"

"In that case, I have a request. To prove you can truly protect me, please defeat a Bronze-level adventurer, can you?"

As other adventurers said, mages were too squishy. They had strong attack power but weak defense. When teaming up with others, they generally preferred professions like Heavy Swordsman or Knight. If they didn't have a powerful melee combatant to protect them, they would just be a breeding ground for Goblins.

"No problem."

Naruto readily agreed.

He turned to face the many adventurers in the hall, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Didn't someone just question my strength? Now I'm giving you a chance to challenge me. Of course, the minimum must be a Bronze-level adventurer."

The adventurers in the hall looked at each other, whispering and conversing, but no one stepped forward to challenge Naruto.

"There needs to be a prize, otherwise who would be willing to lose face and bully a young boy?"

The Sword Saintess leaned close to Naruto's face and whispered, her red lips slightly parted, exhaling warm breath that brushed against his ear.

Naruto was twelve years old, and due to his long-term picky eating and consuming only ramen, he was malnourished and not very tall, appearing similar to a ten-year-old boy from another world, a bit immature.

If Naruto were a few years older, even without a prize, adventurers would be eager to step forward, defeat Naruto, and prove their strength to the Sword Saintess.

"In that case..."

Naruto rubbed his slightly itchy ear, took out the money pouch hanging from his waist, which he hadn't yet stored in his item bar, and weighed it in his hand a few times, making a clear, pleasant clinking sound.

"The pouch contains dozens of silver coins. Whoever defeats me gets the silver coins."

One silver coin was equivalent to one hundred copper coins.

Ten copper coins could buy three potatoes.

Dozens of silver coins were not a small sum.

Moreover, it was an easy gain; all it took was defeating a twelve-year-old boy. Wasn't that easy, a sure thing?

"I'll do it!"

A dark-skinned, tall, burly warrior, clad in heavy black armor and wielding a gleaming greatshield and a greatsword, parted the crowd and strode towards Naruto.

Standing before Naruto, he was like a brown bear.

"It's 'Unwavering Heavy Swordsman' Butler!"

"This is a genuine Bronze-level adventurer!"

"I heard he can stand firm against the Manticore's fierce attacks."

"supreme god above, I hope Naruto doesn't get smashed into a pulp by Butler's greatshield."

"What a pity about those dozens of silver coins, it's like picking them up for free. I shouldn't have hesitated."

The Heavy Swordsman named Butler ignored the surrounding clamor, looked down at Naruto, and said in a deep voice: "I'm not very interested in the silver coins in the money pouch. I only have one goal."

"What?"

Facing the bear-like giant, Naruto remained calm.

For him, in the low-magic, low-martial Goblin Slayer World, there was no difference between Silver Rank, Bronze-level, or Porcelain Rank.

The only one worth taking seriously was Gold-Grade...

And the Platinum Rank, which was beyond "specifications" and equivalent to cheating!

Butler's peripheral vision glanced at the Sword Saintess, and he pointed a finger: "If I win, I hope this Priestess can join my adventurers team."

"Huh?"

Naruto scoffed and shook his head: "Sorry, Alicia is not merchandise, nor is she my slave. I have no right to interfere with her thoughts and freedom."

"If you really want her to join your adventurers team, make a formal invitation instead of talking nonsense with me."

"From me, you'll only get a bag of silver coins, of course... provided you can win against me!"

Naruto's lips curved into a smile, his bright blue eyes intently watching the Heavy Swordsman.

"Then..."

Butler looked at the Sword Saintess, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Sword Saintess without hesitation.

"I refuse!"
