UK:GSW Chapter 307: The Stinky Little Brother Nine‑Tails — Naruto's Painful and Profound Growth
The Nine‑Tails who had transformed into the shinobi world version of the Boss also used the name "The Boss."
The name was naturally Uchiha Kei's suggestion, and he even explained a bit about the personal background of the Boss, that classic character from LOL.
Although the "mama's boy" attribute would make many people who first learned about the Boss feel unimpressed, it wasn't a problem for the alternate Nine‑Tails, because the Tailed Beasts had never rejected the feelings they had for the Sage of Six Paths; in fact, all the Tailed Beasts had a strong obsession with it.
The Nine‑Tails was like this. Even though he had never said it, when the Sage of Six Paths was really mentioned, his feelings were always deep and strong, and these things were reflected many times in the original work.
That was the role of the creator and also the father.
Therefore, this big boy who loved his mother deeply resonated strongly with the alternate Nine‑Tails and gained his recognition, so he directly accepted this avatar's identity.
Even Tamamo‑no‑Mae nodded in agreement. "The Boss is quite a good guy. If I hadn't already found my own path, perhaps becoming a guy like this would be pretty good."
It was evident that both Nine‑Tails recognized this character.
On reflection, it made sense: the Boss's appearance was that of a man's man, the macho of machos, a strong type that naturally satisfied the Nine‑Tails, and he even had a pair of beast ears, which suited the Nine‑Tails' aesthetic.
On this foundation, his character was also likable; at least it made the Nine‑Tails feel good, so it was only natural to be satisfied with this role.
After this, the two Nine‑Tails entered the Genjutsu game together and began their gaming careers.
Mm, with Tamamo‑no‑Mae taking a novice under her wing.
Although the Nine‑Tails was very strong, this strength couldn't be brought into the game, because the game Tamamo‑no‑Mae took the alternate Nine‑Tails to play was "Ultimate Storm."
Unlike when Tamamo‑no‑Mae first played "Ultimate Storm," at that time everyone was a novice, so being slightly better could make you stand out. But now the game was full of veteran players, and although the game had only been online for a few months, the high‑intensity battles had already allowed many people to develop very strong gaming skills.
In this situation, the alternate Nine‑Tails, entering as a pure novice, would appear very ordinary, and because it was his first time fighting in human form, the alternate Nine‑Tails also needed time to adapt.
Therefore, at the beginning of playing, the alternate Nine‑Tails was destined to become the target of beatings.
And because he was with Tamamo‑no‑Mae, the alternate Nine‑Tails attracted a lot of aggro.
There was no help for it—right now Tamamo‑no‑Mae was already a celebrity in the Genjutsu game circle. Tamamo‑no‑Mae, with her super aura, good looks, and unique image, had many admirers and fans, and many people liked her.
In this situation, Tamamo‑no‑Mae always moved alone, and when teaming up with others it was only to play some matches that required a team or the faction battles for faction divisions, which made her cool image deeply rooted in people's hearts.
With these prerequisites, when one day Tamamo‑no‑Mae suddenly teamed up with an unfamiliar man, that man naturally became the target of others' envy, jealousy and hatred.
Thus the alternate Nine‑Tails was targeted, his game experience was rather bad, and many times he had to rely on Tamamo‑no‑Mae's protection and care to survive, making him feel very humiliated.
However, the alternate Nine‑Tails was not someone who admitted defeat. Although his performance was very poor, he had no intention of giving up and leaving the game; instead, he wanted to do better and wanted to become stronger so he could get back at them.
In this regard he was exactly like Tamamo‑no‑Mae. Tamamo‑no‑Mae was also the type who, if she suffered in the game, would think of ways to make herself stronger, improve her own technique, think of ways to deal with enemies, and eventually defeat the enemy.
It was also because of this drive that Tamamo‑no‑Mae could stand at the peak in the game, becoming a top player who could compete with "Radama" and "Muzi," two players who were also at the peak.
It could only be said that the Nine‑Tails' nature was the same, even if the worlds were different.
Of course, not everyone in the game targeted the alternate Nine‑Tails in misunderstanding. Some people chose to flatter the alternate Nine‑Tails because those people were "eloquent and knew how to use it."
These people, when they saw the alternate Nine‑Tails with Tamamo‑no‑Mae, also felt envy, jealousy, and hatred, but the doubts in their hearts meant they didn't rush up to beat up the guy who had stolen the goddess. Instead, they tried every way they could to ask questions.
The alternate Nine‑Tails snorted at these people's questions, completely unwilling to answer, full of arrogance, and very much the type that made one want to hit him.
However, Tamamo‑no‑Mae was different. She no longer minded communicating with others, so she used an excuse she had already thought up. "He is my blood relative; he and I are brother and sister."
Upon hearing this, those who had asked curiously suddenly understood and their eyes lit up, while the alternate Nine‑Tails was unhappy. He immediately shouted angrily, "What do you mean brother and sister? Clearly I'm older! I'm the big brother!"
Tamamo‑no‑Mae glanced at the alternate Nine‑Tails. "Call yourself my older brother when you can beat me."
The alternate Nine‑Tails immediately turned red with anger but couldn't do anything, so he just snorted coldly and continued to be angry.
This exchange confirmed the relationship between the two. As for whether they were siblings with the sister older or the brother, people actually didn't care; the key was that the gaming idol Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae was still single!
Thus, the alternate Nine‑Tails inexplicably enjoyed the proactive flattering service of a bunch of Tamamo‑no‑Mae's fans. Those guys said nice things to praise the alternate Nine‑Tails and even took the initiative to "tribute" various things to him, completely baffling him as to what these humans were doing.
Of course, the alternate Nine‑Tails had witnessed Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki getting to know each other, falling in love and eventually giving birth to Naruto, so he was only initially confused. Later, when he saw those people surrounding Tamamo‑no‑Mae like peacocks spreading their tails, he understood everything.
This made the alternate Nine‑Tails' expression very interesting. After all, this was an unexpected development he had never thought of, and his whole fox nearly couldn't handle it.
Especially seeing Tamamo‑no‑Mae, who looked very aloof, dealing with various "bootlickers" with ease like a social genius with her own logic, the alternate Nine‑Tails directly made a subway old man looking at his phone face, feeling that either he was crazy or the world was crazy.
For this, the alternate Nine‑Tails grabbed one of the bootlickers and couldn't help asking, "Hey, what's so good about that person? Why do you all like her so much?"
Upon hearing this, that bootlicker froze and was about to get angry, then realized it was the alternate Nine‑Tails and immediately suppressed the fire. After all, this person was Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae's younger brother, and his attitude toward Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae further proved that the two were indeed blood relatives.
After all, only a stinky younger brother would dislike his own sister who was excellent to the extreme, think his own excellent sister was full of faults, completely unable to see his sister's strengths. This was the normal relationship between many siblings; those intense feelings like the Uchiha clan's were the minority.
So this bootlicker said in a very serious tone, "Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae is our idol and the object of our admiration. All of us are willing to follow Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae forever."
As she spoke, this bootlicker clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Tamamo‑no‑Mae. Her entire demeanor exuded the pose of an ultimate little fangirl.
Mm, yes, a little fangirl, because this bootlicker was a woman—don't doubt it, among Tamamo‑no‑Mae's bootlickers there were not only men but also many women attracted by that unique charm who became her loyal bootlickers.
Incidentally, the reason this little fangirl reacted so calmly to the alternate Nine‑Tails' dislike of Tamamo‑no‑Mae was because she also had a younger brother, and the relationship between her and her brother was "stinky younger brother is so annoying," so she thought the relationship between the alternate Nine‑Tails and Tamamo‑no‑Mae was the same as hers with her own stinky younger brother.
Mm, stinky younger brothers are really annoying. Even Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae's family is like this. To be able to have such an excellent Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae as a sister and still dislike her—how hateful!
However, since this guy was Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae's brother, even if he was a stinky younger brother, she could only be good to him.
After all, from seeing how Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae got along with this guy called the Boss, that stinky younger brother, it was clear that even though the stinky younger brother disliked his older sister, the older sister still took good care of the younger brother.
As expected of Miss Tamamo‑no‑Mae, being so good even to a stinky younger brother—truly great!
As the little fangirl thought, her eyes were wet as she looked at Tamamo‑no‑Mae, completely moved, which made the alternate Nine‑Tails beside her show a black‑question‑mark face, completely unable to understand what was going on in this human woman's mind.
Mm, the situation was quite comical; many scenes could be directly turned into memes and collected—afterwards, Uchiha Kei, who watched this scene through the administrator permissions as a replay, laughed out loud and saved the footage, adding some more collectibles to his treasure trove of fun.
Of course, this fun was only a small part of the many amusing things. Tamamo‑no‑Mae taking the alternate Nine‑Tails to play the Genjutsu game was bound to produce many new sources of fun.
Meanwhile, the Khorne emotions that had been accumulated in the alternate Nine‑Tails' heart were unconsciously worn away. The purpose of bringing the alternate Nine‑Tails into the spiritual network world was gradually being achieved, and presumably the day when he reconciled and coexisted harmoniously with Naruto would not be far away.
By contrast, after experiencing the initial joy of reuniting with his parents, Naruto quickly fell into days that were painful yet joyful.
Because, after learning of Naruto's ambition to change the shinobi world, Minato Namikaze put together an advanced study package for him.
When Minato Namikaze went to Uchiha Kei, told him about Naruto's aspirations, and requested that Naruto also get an advanced study opportunity, Uchiha Kei agreed without hesitation.
After all, this was his good Godson from another world. As a Godfather who loves his good Godson deeply, he naturally had to provide the most sincere and effective training for this good Godson.
It just so happened that although Naruto wasn't very clever, as a young man with a one‑track mind, his mental endurance was maxed out. The Shadow Clone training method that others couldn't bear was only a bit tiring for him. That meant that although Naruto's own strength hadn't reached the Kage level yet, his capacity to endure accelerated time in the spiritual network world far surpassed others. At least the Five Kage from the parallel world couldn't compare to Naruto.
This meant that the time acceleration adjustment for Naruto could be maximized, at least to match the current Minato Namikaze.
In this respect, Minato Namikaze was actually quite worried. The current Minato Namikaze was already far beyond his former self in comprehensive strength; he had surpassed his original self in the Fourth Shinobi World War, except that he couldn't transform into a Tailed Beast. In all other respects he was completely beyond that.
After all, Uchiha Kei had provided this good buddy with quite a few hacks, allowing Minato Namikaze's progress to be very exaggerated.
By now, Minato Namikaze's endurance in the learning space of the spiritual network world was second only to those cyber heroic spirits who naturally possessed super advantages; it had reached 1:20 compared to the real world, and this wasn't even the limit—it was just a stable and safe level.
If he really disregarded everything and exhausted his own energy, Minato Namikaze could totally catch up with Tobirama Senju, who was still in the learning space and about to graduate.
Therefore, for Naruto to have endurance comparable to Minato Namikaze meant that his endurance was at classic cheat level.
As a result, Minato Namikaze initially worried about whether Naruto's mental strength could withstand the accelerated effect. Later, after discovering that Naruto was always miserable after each study session but only needed a little rest to restore his energy, he relaxed and took Naruto to study together.
Then Naruto's study hell began.
For a poor student like Naruto, this kind of study life was quite miserable, making him very depressed.
Moreover, he couldn't skip classes like he used to at the ninja academy, because Minato Namikaze was always "accompanying" and was also one of the instructors.
Most importantly, the teachers in this learning space were all top‑class; there was no possibility they couldn't teach Naruto. Even if his learning progress was slow, as long as he put in the time, they could always instill the knowledge into Naruto's mind.
And it wasn't rote learning. The most powerful thing about the learning space was that it could pull up various corresponding scenarios. For example, to make Naruto understand the exploiting class and the exploited class, they could directly create scenes of nobles feasting while commoners froze to death on the streets, using real contrasts of nobles' extravagant waste and commoners' struggle for survival to make Naruto directly understand what the two classes represented.
They could also show that the tragedies of the shinobi world all originated from the greed and exploitation of those ruling classes, using real scenes to present the daimyo nobles crazily exploiting the lower class, then the lower class accumulating anger and dissatisfaction. And to solve this anger and dissatisfaction, the nobles and daimyo ruthlessly suppressed the rebellion under their rule, and incited the various Hidden Villages to go to war, letting the Hidden Villages fight over some scraps they threw out, causing rivers of blood and constantly accumulating hatred and pain.
Scene after scene, cruel and real, combined with the theory learned in the classroom, allowed Naruto to understand these truths deeply and at great speed.
On this basis, the learning space could even simulate some scenarios, allowing Naruto to directly immerse himself in these "storylines" and use practical experience to understand various contents more deeply.
He felt the real cruelty and pain at the bottom, experienced from a lower-class perspective those scoundrels of the exploiting class, and truly empathized with the bottom.
In addition, scenes and content of large revolutions were simulated, letting Naruto join the revolutions, follow behind those great people, and from a mortal's perspective understand and learn truly great thoughts.
All these were things Minato Namikaze had already experienced. Now they were just teaching these contents to Naruto.
Therefore, although Naruto was living quite miserably and painfully, being very tired every day, this young man's inner heart was growing at great speed. His former naivety and impulsiveness were fading quickly, replaced by maturity and composure that truly understood suffering and hardship.
This was the huge growth of truly growing from a boy to a man, and it also represented a reckless, naïve youth growing into a fighter with ideals and aspirations.
