Naruto: System Jinchuriki, Give Me Some Points!

"Guji!"

Witnessing the death of their young, the many Goblins were instantly enraged. They brandished their weapons and charged at the Shadow Clones, roaring.

"They're getting desperate."

Dozens of Shadow Clones smiled in unison, unfazed. They all leaped up, scaling the walls and ceilings, their Ninja shoes allowing them to stand inverted on the cave's ceiling without falling.

The Goblins stood below, waving their daggers or wooden clubs in impotent rage.

Some shot arrows and threw stones, but none hit Naruto's Shadow Clones.

"Let's begin."

One Shadow Clone said, arms crossed.

"Alright!"

With a "swish,"

Dozens of Shadow Clones dispersed, feet gripping the rock, speeding inverted, transforming into sharp afterimages heading to other caves. Only three Shadow Clones remained in the stone chamber.

"Despicable humans, come down!"

A Goblin wearing a hood shouted, raising the skull staff in its hand. Its clothes were more complete than a Goblin Shaman's.

It was the Goblin Shaman's superior—a Goblin God Priest!

This Goblin nest's true second-in-command.

Actually, distinguishing the strength and status of Goblins was simple: just look at the completeness of their clothing and equipment.

The higher the status, the stronger the power, the more complete the attire.

The three Shadow Clones remained inverted, arms crossed, completely ignoring it.

"Damn it, humans, you will pay a huge price!"

The Goblin God Priest raised its skull staff, and strange rose-red light emanated from its eye sockets, as if casting some evil spell.

"Price? Heh, I'll flip your whole nest over!"

One Shadow Clone, seeing this, murmured, "It's about time."

"Let's start from here."

"Scatter, Explosive Tags!"

The three Shadow Clones suddenly spread their arms, scattering Explosive Tags from their hands.

"Humans, die!"

The Goblin God Priest's evil spell was also ready, but it was ultimately a step too slow.

The three Shadow Clones smiled faintly, performed hand signs in unison, and lowly shouted, "Explode."

Dozens of Explosive Tags, some fluttering in mid-air before landing, others clutched in Goblins' hands, examined with confusion.

At this moment, the character for "Explode" in the center of the talismans lit up simultaneously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Deafening explosions resounded incessantly.

The empty stone chamber was filled with the shockwaves and heatwaves of violent explosions. The terrifying destructive power not only instantly blew the clustered Goblins to smithereens but also destroyed the solid rock.

Large amounts of aftershocks, carrying waves of fire, rushed through the several openings of the stone chamber into the tunnels, venting themselves out.

Naruto's Shadow Clones, dispersed throughout the various parts of the cave, seeing this, shot out the Explosive Tags held between their fingers, performed hand signs, and chanted a single word—

"Explode!"

"Explode!", "Explode!", "Explode!"

The entire intricate cave system was continuously rocked by violent explosions.

Like an earthquake, shaking everything, destroying all!

Outside the cave.

Naruto pulled the Sword Saintess and the Witch back, stopping only when they were far enough away.

The Sword Saintess asked in confusion, "Naruto, did you do something?"

"Blew up the nest."

Naruto answered concisely.

"Blew… up… the nest…?"

The Sword Saintess was full of doubt, and she and the Witch turned their heads to look at the dim, deep cave entrance.

"It's very calm, nothing's happening…"

Before her words finished,

The grass beneath their feet began to tremble incessantly, and deafening rumbling sounds came from within the cave. Finally, accompanied by a roar like a dragon's cry and a tiger's roar, clouds of dust surged out from the cave entrance.

"Rumble—!!"

Under the shocked gaze of the Sword Saintess and the Witch, the previously calm cave seemed to have triggered a terrifying chain reaction. The solid rock continuously cracked and collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.

"Nest demolition complete."

Naruto, hands in his pockets, was quite satisfied with his "demolition" results.

His eyes flickered, and he brought up a pop-up window.

"Eliminated a Goblin, Experience +2 points"

"Eliminated a Goblin Shaman, Experience +10 points"

"Eliminated a Big Goblin, Experience +15 points"

"Eliminated a Goblin God Priest, Experience +25 points"

"Eliminated a Small Goblin, Experience +1 point"

…

"Level Up!"

"Gained 2 free attribute points"

"Reached Level 10, can awaken profession"

The layers of pop-up windows not only meant that Naruto had wiped out this Goblin nest but also allowed him to successfully level up to 10.

He could awaken his profession!

The scroll for awakening professions lay quietly in the item bar, waiting for Naruto to use it.

He glanced at the side quest "Goblins Must Die" on the Task panel.

It required eliminating 3000 Goblins.

Currently, 275 had been completed.

This meant that the cave nest destroyed by the Explosive Tags had buried at least over two hundred Goblins.

"It's a pity that as the level increases, low-tier Goblins no longer provide much experience."

"Let's head back first."

Naruto secretly lamented, then said to the Sword Saintess and the Witch.

…

…

Border Town.

The sun set as usual.

The sunset coated the town with a layer of molten copper. Along the flagstone streets, cast-iron streetlights lit up one by one, and adventurers returned in their carriages.

Regardless of whether they completed their quests or hunted high-level monsters, they had at least survived another day.

The wind swept past the faded banner hanging from the tavern, revealing the rusted chain at the top of the flagpole. The arched wooden door, tightly shut during the day, was pushed open by the still-charming proprietress.

Next.

It was time for Border Town's nightlife!

A carnival exclusive to adventurers!

Sunlight streamed through the stained-glass windows of the adventurers' Guild, casting a warm, honey-colored glow.

The Counter Lady glanced at the quest requests on the oak notice board.

There were barely any left.

The next day, new quest requests would be posted, and adventurers would flock in to choose the tasks they wanted to do.

"Ashina, aren't you getting off work yet?"

A colleague stretched and looked at the Counter Lady, who had taken time to doll herself up amidst her busy schedule.

"Hmm, in a bit."

The Counter Lady subconsciously glanced at the clock.

"Hehe, are you going on a date with Naruto later?" her colleague leaned in and asked.

"I don't even know if it's a date yet."

The Counter Lady's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gave her colleague a look.

"Hurry up, I see you have quite a few competitors."

Her colleague counted on her fingers.

"The Priestess favored by the supreme god, the extraordinarily talented genius mage, and also the ranch girl who looks like a childhood friend."

"But you know, our Ashina is a top student who graduated from the Royal Capital Academy, smart and capable. She'll definitely become the branch guild master of the adventurers' Guild in Border Town in the future!"

"You're hopeless."

The Counter Lady shook her head helplessly.

"Creak…"

The adventurers' Guild door opened.

It was Naruto.

"He's here!"

"Is he going to ask me out on a date?"

"What should I do? Say yes or no?"

"Where should we go on a date? The tavern is definitely out, minors aren't allowed to drink. I'll take him to get ice cream."

"Where's a good place to get ice cream?"

The Counter Lady's heart inexplicably quickened a few beats. She feigned calmness on the surface, a professional smile on her lips, and asked, "Naruto, is there something you need?"
