Conviction and Submits for Shinobi World's Future
🕑 Added 2024-05-25 17:50:52 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 450 ---
After Gu Yuena sealed her domineering aura and made her feel not so terrifying anymore, Naruto and Sasuke finally let out a sigh of relief, including Kurama inside Naruto.
Kurama is scared witless by Gu Yuena's draconic presence because there was nothing like it in the Shinobi World. It makes Kurama want to kneel and submit to her for some reason, though Kurama is only a mass of Chakra shaped like a fox.
Well, there is a simple explanation. Kurama is a sentient being whose soul and physique molded into a nine-tailed fox from birth.
Of course, this beast's instinctual behavior is 'inherently' developed as Kurama has lived as a nine-tailed fox for too long. Since Kurama was an immortal being due to the nature of his origin and couldn't die through normal means, this fox's traits have become part of himself.
Even though he's only a mass of pure Chakra, he is still a beast!
Dragon God is the leader of Divine Beasts, and Gu Yuena will surpass him soon. To Kurama, Gu Yuena is no different than his god.
Funnily enough, Gu Yuena might have more influence on Kurama than the Sage of Six Paths and Naruto ever will.
Yunlong clearly noticed Gu Yuena's mischievousness and sighed inwardly because this silver dragon likes to tease others, "Well, the introduction aside. Naruto, Sasuke, I'm bringing you two for another matter."
Naruto and Sasuke escaped Gu Yuena's gaze, feeling relieved.
Yet a second later, they shivered again.
"Fufu, they are interesting seedlings." Gu Yuena covered her mouth and giggled. However, it's not your Ara Ara type of giggling, but a mad scientist one.
"Ignore her nonsense," Yunlong said. "Anyway, where are we again?"
"Oh, yeah. I'm bringing you here to give you a test drive."
"Test drive?" Naruto and Sasuke tilted their heads in confusion.
Yunlong nodded, "Yup, a test drive or simulation, whether one you like."
"In the simulation, you will be given a chance to become Spirit Master, the strongest and most popular profession in my world."
"You see... When you fought me fifteen years ago in the 4th Shinobi World War, the energy I used wasn't entirely Chakra. I'm a Spirit Master, so I cultivated Spirit Energy."
"Spirit Energy is something that exists in my homeworld. It is a heaven and earth blessing, and we harnessed to become stronger by slowly advancing in rank."
"Starting from level 1 to level 99, the peak of mortals."
"I simply called it level up."
"As you grow stronger as Spirit Master, you can ascend to godhood when breaking into level 100."
"D-Damn..." Naruto couldn't believe his ears.
"Like Shibai Otsutsuki?" Sasuke questioned rationally.
Yunlong smiled, "Well, we used different methods, but ascending to godhood is a wide term."
"Different worlds have different sets of rules."
"So, are you ready for the simulation?"
"I will put the instruction manual in the simulation, so all you need is guts to accept it."
Naruto and Sasuke glanced at each other before nodding their heads.
"Let's give it a try."
"Good. However, I have to give you a warning first. I will seal your power, so say goodbye to your eyes' power or a large Chakra reserve. You will start from zero."
"Technically, you will not start from zero because you would have your martial skills, experience as shinobi, and other things, but you get the gist."
"We understand." Naruto and Sasuke replied.
"Hehe, youngsters. Thrive to reach level 91 at least!" Yunlong grinned and flicked their foreheads.
'So fast!' Naruto blacked out.
'M-My Rinnegan couldn't even catch his movement...' Sasuke also entered the dream world.
Yunlong whistled casually and watched Kaguya and Gu Yuena making stone chairs to sit on.
A second later, Yunlong snapped his finger.
Blergh!
Naruto and Sasuke puked their meals out.
Yunlong waited before they regained their senses and cleaned the mess by erasing all the filth with his skill.
Naruto wiped his mouth, "T-That was a terrifying experience. Why do I feel like only a few seconds have passed in the outside world?"
"Because it is." Sasuke clutched his Rinnegan in pain.
"Yunlong manipulated our sense of time in that world, allowing us to feel what it is like to be the Spirit Master. I struggled for three years in the forest called Star Dou Forest, getting my ass chased every day before I increased my cultivation base and killed them to become my spirit ring."
"I need twenty more years to challenge those Great Beasts above 100,000 years old."
"They are strong. Too strong for my cultivation base."
"Slowly but surely... I managed to salvage the situation."
"I need to create self-created spirit skills, mainly to enhance my mental power, swordsmanship, and control over fire and lightning elements."
"I have twin Martial Souls, a sword, and a bird with lightning and fire elements."
"At last, I reached level 91 after forty-five years..."
"So, did you successfully kill one of the Great Beasts?" Gu Yuena asked in amusement.
Sasuke put on a self-condescending smile, "I did. I killed a great white snake over 300,000 years old. I put everything on the line by absorbing Spirit Rings above the standards."
"I have six black and three red spirit rings by the end."
"But I have to pay the price of getting my body damaged beyond repair."
Naruto scratched his cheek, "You did better than mine..."
"I only last for thirty years."
"After getting into the same forest, I was chased by Spirit Beasts every day, too."
"However, I focused more on the physique and recreated my Rasengan."
"Do you know that Rasengan created with Spirit Energy is much stronger than the one with Chakra? The amount of rotation I could put in is insane."
"Ehem, back to the topic. I also have twin Martial Souls, a chain, and a frog."
"I cultivated the chain like my mother clan's adamantine chains, focusing more on restraining and sealing my enemy."
"On the other hand, I cultivated the frog one to become attuned with nature, trying my best to develop it into a Sage..."
"Everything seems successful so far. I even reached level 91 at the 40-year mark."
"But who would have thought the Frog Sage would become demonic and overthrow my mental power? I became a demon unwillingly and went into a full rampage on the Star Dou Forest for three months before the Great Beasts finished me off."
"I vomited earlier because those experiences felt like hell."
"It's not like the evil that Kurama used to have. It's just pure demonic destruction."
'Naruto only needs 40 years to reach Level 91.' A bitter smile appeared on Sasuke's face. Even though he knew their rivalry had died years ago when they fought at the Valley of the End, this put a new spark in his heart.
Of course, Naruto said Sasuke was better than him because Sasuke could control his body during this whole journey.
Meanwhile, Naruto suffered an agonizing experience as a demon.
Yunlong rubbed his chin, "Forty years... That's a decent time. Most Spirit Masters won't even dream of reaching the Title Douluo Realm. They lacked background, talents, luck, and chances."
"So, what do you think of becoming a Spirit Master?"
"It's life-changing," Naruto answered solemnly.
"Yeah." Sasuke agreed with Naruto. "I have no problem with you introducing this new system to the Shinobi World."
"However... Are you really going to put this world under your rule?"
Yunlong could notice Sasuke's skepticism.
Yunlong shrugged, "You look down on this humble me."
"Don't worry. I'm not a tyrant."
'My wife Bibi Dong is.'
"As long as the Shinobi World follows the Bright Spirit Empire's rule, we will provide you with protection, resources, and knowledge to become stronger."
"In fact, I've already begun introducing Spirit Energy to this world."
"No wonder..." Naruto and Sasuke always felt the atmosphere was slightly different than it used to be yesterday. Now that they have wielded Spirit Energy once, they could detect one wisp or two in the air.
Yunlong crossed his arms and added, "I won't give you a long time to think."
"Five seconds, take it or not."
"Will you surrender?"
"You left us with no choice." Naruto put on an ugly expression. He doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Sasuke is also the same as his mouth twitched. "Five seconds? You put the fate of this planet on our short decision."
"Hehe, four seconds left."
"Come on!"
"Give us a bit more time, Yunlong."
"Three, two, one~! Your time is up!"
"..." Naruto.
"..." Sasuke.
This guy is straight evil.
Yunlong smirked wickedly at them, "So... What is your decision?"
"W-We... Surrender..."
"Good choice. The Shinobi World has a bright future because of your decision, hahaha~!"
Naruto and Sasuke have defeated looks on their faces, 'No, We are worried, you maniac!'
'You might destroy this world accidentally before the Otsutsuki could invade us....'
