This Naruto is A Bit Too Evil

"Get lost, demon fox! You're not welcome here!"

"Why does Sandaime-sama still allow this monster to stay in the village?"

"Damn demon fox, you bring misfortune to everyone."

"Just being near you makes me feel uncomfortable, such bad luck."

"Why isn't he dead yet? I already requested Sandaime-sama to execute him."

"Sandaime-sama is too kind..."

"Moreover, I heard Yondaime-sama also died because of him..."

"Sandaime-sama is too merciful. Such a creature should just be killed outright."

"..."

"Hiss!"

In the midst of darkness, Dion opened his eyes, his heart pounding like a drum, as if it wanted to leap out of his chest. Sweat dripped down his forehead, soaking the pillow, and the air was filled with an unreal chill.

He gasped for breath, trying to distinguish the dream from reality, but the twisted figures and curses still echoed in his ears, making it hard to tell whether he was awake or still dreaming.

'What a strange nightmare?'

Dion felt a bit puzzled. Although he often had nightmares, this one was completely different. The immersive feeling and the deep malice made him feel even more suffocated. What was even stranger was that even though he had woken up, the malice seemed to linger, making it hard to breathe.

After a while, his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he began to make out the outlines of the room. The furniture and decorations in the dim light seemed unfamiliar, but their presence reminded Dion that he was safely in bed.

He wanted to reach out and turn on the bedside lamp but found no button. The faint light couldn't dispel the gloom of the dream. Dion took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself, telling himself it was just a dream, even though it felt so real.

Under the moonlight, when he carefully examined the dark, narrow, and cluttered room, his breathing became even more rapid.

An unfamiliar room, unfamiliar decorations, even the bedding on his body was completely unfamiliar.

'A small body?'

The unfamiliar environment filled Dion with panic. He jumped out of bed, observing his surroundings and examining himself.

'Did I transmigrate?'

Dion's mind went blank for a moment. The unfamiliar environment, the smaller body. He pinched his arm hard, and the sharp pain immediately cleared his mind.

'I really transmigrated.'

Realizing that he had indeed transmigrated, Dion's initial fear gradually subsided, replaced by a slight sense of helplessness. Couldn't the transmigration have happened earlier or later? He had just spent two months as a workhorse, finally about to get a promotion, and now this. At least let him punch that bastard supervisor before leaving.

[Ding!]

[Detecting the host's dissatisfaction with this transmigration, the 'Life Choice' system will issue the first life choice. Please choose carefully.]

'System?' Dion was surprised, and the resentment from the sudden transmigration dissipated. After all, having a cheat made transmigration not such a bad thing.

The system ignored Dion's change in mood and proceeded to present the two options.

[Option 1: Return to the original world and continue being a workhorse. Reward: None.]

[Option 2: Start a brand-new life and leave your mark on this world. Reward: Chakra Mastery.]

'Chakra? Is this the world of Naruto?'

Dion's eyes widened in shock. He didn't make a choice immediately but instead got up to look for something that could serve as a mirror in the room.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, a slightly round face, and six whisker-like marks on his cheeks.

In the bathroom, Dion stared at his reflection in the mirror, momentarily speechless.

Not only had he transmigrated into the world of Naruto, but he had also become the protagonist, Uzumaki Naruto, and it seemed he was only three or four years old.

Dion couldn't help but feel a headache coming on, his mood a bit complicated. After all, this age wasn't exactly the best time.

"Sigh~"

Dion let out a long breath, rubbing his still tender forehead, feeling a bit relieved, 'Thankfully, I didn't have a habit of talking to myself. In the original work, Naruto was constantly monitored by Konoha's Anbu during his childhood. Right now, there were probably several Anbu members stationed outside this house.'

'If I had muttered something suspicious, I might have been taken away by the Anbu for interrogation tomorrow.'

Dion silently looked at his reflection in the mirror. The star of fate shone brightly, illuminating his path. The once straightforward road of life seemed to have been gently altered by the hand of fate, suddenly branching into two completely different paths.

This was a moment to decide his destiny, a chance to change the course of the future. How many times could one encounter such an opportunity? Faced with these two paths, he chose the more magnificent one without hesitation.

'I choose the second option.'

[Ding!]

[The host has made a choice. Now distributing the reward. Please enjoy your new life to the fullest.]

As the system's mechanical voice faded, Dion could feel a subtle energy gradually gathering within his body. This energy, initially as small as a stream, began to converge into a river with each breath. Every breath felt like a silent conversation with this power, and every heartbeat seemed to set the rhythm for its flow.

And from the moment this power was extracted within his body, he could freely control it.

'I wonder how many 'Kakashi' of Chakra I have now.'

Feeling the sudden surge of power within him, Dion felt his mood lift significantly. He suddenly recalled the unit of measurement for Chakra in the original work.

'If I remembered correctly, after Naruto tapped into the Nine-Tails' Chakra, he had about a hundred 'Kakashi', and it was constantly replenished.'

'However, I'm not sure if there are any Sensory-type Ninjas among the Anbu monitoring me. Will they notice the sudden increase in my Chakra? If so, I'll have to figure out how to deal with Hiruzen's interrogation.'

After all, the Third Hokage, who was hailed as the 'Strongest Hokage', was always keeping an eye on him, the Jinchuriki. It was almost laughable. Despite boasting about being the strongest Hokage in history, he had to resort to such underhanded methods to control a Jinchuriki. Truly, he had no dignity left.

If he had once possessed the bearing of a 'Ninja Hero', now he was nothing more than a parasite, corrupted by power, feeding off the nutrients of Konoha.

'He let the new leaves burn endlessly, illuminating their continued survival.'

'How ugly.'

'Speaking of which, this system...'

'System, are you there?'

Dion called out softly in his mind. The main reason was that the system had gone silent after he made his choice. After all, in many novels he had read, the systems would often chat and joke with their hosts.

'System, are you there?'

'Are you there?'

'System?'

'Hey, system?'

Dion called out several times in his mind, but the system didn't respond. This left him feeling a bit frustrated, 'What a cold system, it's completely different from the ones in the novels.'

After calming his emotions in the bathroom, he lay back down on the bed. No matter what, he would deal with things after getting some sleep.

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

[Ding!]

"…"

"Ugh…"

A series of short, urgent electronic tones jolted Dion awake again. His body twitched and squirmed before he sat bolt upright in bed.

'What the hell, system? What's your problem?'

[Host, please show respect to the system.]

A cold mechanical voice echoed in Dion's mind, leaving him speechless.

'…'

'Alright, System Bro, can you please tell me what your function is?'

Dion humbly posed his question.

[This system will only issue choice tasks to the host when faced with major life decisions. Depending on the choice made, corresponding rewards will be given.]

[The system will not communicate with the host during daily life. Please do not disturb the system.]

[However, please rest assured, no matter what choice the host makes, they will experience a fulfilling life.]

After a series of mechanical responses, Dion felt his brain buzzing.

'So, the system only shows up at critical moments, huh? That means there probably won't be many rewards in daily life.'

'But that's not a big deal. After all, I am now the Uzumaki Naruto. At the very least, I'm destined to reach Six Paths-level.'

'It's just that I'll have to play along with those old geezers for a while longer.'
