Chapter 595 - 1

Chapter 1: Reincarnated! The World of Naruto!"Demon Fox! My dad says you're the bane of the village!"At the entrance of Konoha Village, two children were cornering a young blonde-haired boy in a corner.Looking at the two completely unfamiliar faces before him, Naruto's mind went blank."What is this? Even little brats are bullying me now?"As his consciousness gradually cleared, Narutorealized the changes in his body.Naruto waved his slightly tender little hands, feeling a bit confused.Before he could think further, a handful of sand and gravel flew at his face, interrupting his thoughts.Naruto's expression turned grim.My principle is not to hit the elderly or children!But you two are clearly not elderly!Seeing the kid in front of him preparing to throw more, Naruto grabbed his wrist.Instead of the expected physical dominance, he was actually overpowered by the other party.Naruto was stunned.In the next second, the boy had already broken free from Naruto's restraint.Seeing Naruto resist, the chubby kid throwing stones grew excited."Oh? How dare you resist today? It seems the lesson I gave you wasn't deep enough!"Seeing the two of them approaching, Naruto found himself in a difficult spot.Looking closely, he realized the fat on these two boys' waists was more than twice as thick as his own.How am I supposed to fight this? Am I malnourished by comparison?"A loser really is just a lo—"Before the chubby kid could finish his sentence, he was already clutching his crotch, howling in pain.Naruto retracted his right leg and sneered at the chubby kid rolling on the ground:"How are you going to defend against my Nut-Cracker Kick?""I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"The person beside him was clearly frightened by Naruto's sudden momentum.After all, he was just a child; he immediately abandoned the chubby kid and took off running.The chubby kid on the ground already had tears streaming down his face.Naruto finally had a moment to observe his surroundings.There were wooden houses all around, and the streets were just made of packed dirt.In the distance, a large character for "Fire" caught Naruto's eye!"Fire?"Shifting his gaze further up, Naruto noticed the Hokage Rock on the towering cliff in the distance..."Naruto? Have I transmigrated?""Dad! He hit me!" Nearby, the chubby kid's wailing pulled Naruto out of his shock.Not far away, a burly middle-aged man was walking toward them with a grim expression.Naruto felt a bit of trepidation; he wasn't even as tall as the man's legs.With his current child-like strength, there was no chance of winning!"It's just a scuffle between kids, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?"Thinking this, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief.The middle-aged man walked over and pulled up the crying chubby kid from the ground.Then he looked at Naruto with a dark expression.Seeing this, Naruto tried to joke:"Uncle, we were just playing around..."The man ignored him and pulled the chubby kid, preparing to head back.Naruto was puzzled and grumbled to himself:"So it's fine for your kid to bully others, but he can't take any hardship himself?"He then turned to leave as well.After a few steps, rapid footsteps sounded behind him.Naruto whipped his head around.A heavy, powerful kick landed directly on Naruto's abdomen.The force was so great that his body flew backward and only stopped when he slammed into a wooden wall.A heart-wrenching pain radiated from his stomach.By the time he regained his senses, a metallic taste of blood filled his mouth.In front of him, the chubby kid was clearly frightened by his father's actions.The intense pain left Naruto dazed; his consciousness drifted, yet he couldn't help but curse out loud."F*ck! Bullying a kid and using a sneak attack, how f*cking shameless!"Seeing Naruto still talking back, the man walked straight up to him and spoke in a low voice."Brat! If you ever appear before me again, I'll kill you!"The undisguised killing intent in those eyes sent a chill through Naruto's heart.The pain in his abdomen grew stronger and stronger...Faced with this situation, Naruto felt speechless:"Hey man! I think I'm actually dying...""There might not even be a next time..."The commotion naturally drew the attention of some people nearby."A-Gang, what are you doing? What will you do if the Third Hokage-sama blames you?"The speaker was an old woman; the 'A-Gang' she referred to was naturally the chubby kid's father.Naruto looked at the old woman, his eyes full of helplessness."How about saving me first? I'm about to kick the bucket! Your focus is actually on who's to blame!"Naruto wanted to cry but had no tears. What kind of people were these?The pain had made him unable to speak; he could only look at A-Gang with a wooden expression...A-Gang froze for a moment, then suddenly began to laugh loudly, his appearance looking somewhat crazed."Yeah! Yeah! I'll be blamed anyway! Might as well go all the way..."A trace of ruthlessness appeared in A-Gang's eyes as he looked at Naruto.He grabbed Naruto, who was slumped on the ground, and slammed him violently onto the pavement.Already weak, Naruto suffered this fall and his vision went black as he fainted.Among the onlookers, someone finally stood up."Stop! No matter what, he's just a child! How can you be so cruel?"The speaker was a young girl with obvious panic in her eyes; she rushed forward to shield Naruto with her body.The old woman also hurried forward to pull A-Gang back:"If you do this, what will happen to Xiao Gang?""The Nine-Tailed disaster... he's already lost his mother, do you want him to spend the rest of his life alone?"These words were like a thorn, piercing into A-Gang's heart.His fist, suspended in mid-air, finally lowered slowly.Darkness wrapped around Naruto's consciousness like a tide, leaving only a final lingering thought:"Is this it? This transmigration death is way too haphazard..."In the next second, a blinding light suddenly exploded. The scenes of being kicked away...And being slammed unconscious flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.Before he could finish processing this "end-of-life playback," a cold mechanical voice crashed into his mind:"Fusion System has intervened..."[Newbie Reward: One free ten-draw!][Does the host decide to draw?]Naruto was completely bewildered:"I'm practically dead already! Why the hell would I care about a draw?"The mechanical voice repeated without any emotion: "[Does the host decide to draw?]""What happens if I don't?" He tried to ask back, still holding onto a sliver of hope.[Then you can just go ahead and die...]"I'll draw! I'll draw, okay!"Naruto panicked instantly.This system was too overbearing—not drawing meant an immediate death sentence; only a fool wouldn't choose it!As soon as he spoke, a brilliant, glowing roulette wheel appeared in his consciousness, and the pointer began to spin rapidly.[Super Roulette! Ten-draw!][Obtained a trace of Chakra...][Obtained a trace of Chakra...]...[Obtained a moderate amount of Chakra...]As the notifications popped up one by one, Narutoclearly felt a warm energy gradually filling his body.It flowed slowly through his meridians like a stream, and the previous deathly weakness actually began to fade away.Until the ninth draw ended, the pointer suddenly stopped on the most dazzling slot.[Congratulations! Reward: One Mera Mera no Mi!][Note: This stage reward has been obtained; subsequent wins will be replaced by Skill Points!]The Mera Mera no Mi?!Naruto's pupils constricted as he looked at the crimson fruit that appeared out of thin air in his palm within the conscious space.The skin was covered in flame-like patterns; its familiar appearance made his heart race.Isn't this Ace's fruit from One Piece? Why would it appear in the Naruto world?The surrounding darkness had receded at some point, replaced by an endless expanse of pure white.He could clearly perceive his "conscious body" and could firmly grasp that fruit radiating a scorching aura.Without the slightest hesitation, Naruto raised his hand and shoved the Mera Mera no Mi into his mouth.Just as the bitterness of the skin spread across his tongue, a scalding power instantly surged from his throat to his limbs and bones...
