Chapter 2 - chapter 2-A celestial Fox?

Hid name is Naruto Uzumaki. He was an orphan. He lived in a village called Konoha, and for some reason, the villagers hated him. But despite everything, he grew up as a good person. He did not hate anyone. The villagers refused to sell him anything. He spent countless days hungry. He learned to fish at the age of only three so he wouldn't starve.

"Uzumaki Naruto… since I've taken over this body, don't worry. I will make them pay for you. Since i'm you now in this life, I will use your name."

He thought, "I'm 12 years old, enrolled in the ninja academy, and graduation is tomorrow. It's not like I'm interested in this childish stuff, but I need to learn about this world, and becoming a ninja will make it easier for me."

"I need to prepare."

This world was different from Jianghu. The energy here was called chakra. Fang Chen began to meditate to see the difference.

"Chakra… it is similar to qi, but this world uses it poorly. They only use it externally, in a primitive way. They strengthen their bodies, shortening their lifespan. They don't gather the energy into the dantian."

An idea struck him.

"What if I convert this chakra into qi?" After checking, he discovered that this body had an unusually abundant supply of chakra.

Fang Chen began to cultivate.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

"I succeed."

But after a few moments, dizziness swept over him, and the surroundings suddenly shifted.

He was now in a strange, dark wet place.

In front of him stood a tall cage.

"Where… am I?" Fang Chen looked inside

the cage and saw a fox with multiple tails.

"Is this… a celestial fox?"

When the fox sensed his presence, its eyes opened. When it saw the boy, it started to scream.

"Brat! What are you doing here? How did you get in?!"

Fang Chen's expression did not change at all, as if the monster before him meant nothing.

"How is a celestial fox in this world?" he thought.

The fox seemed a little shocked. Should this brat be afraid now?

"What… is a celestial fox?"

The fox's expression became slightly curious, but then it reverted back to its angry glare.

"Brat! Break this seal, or I will kill you!"

Naruto looked at the seal and immediately analyzed the situation. While meditating, I suddenly appeared here. A fox… a seal… , so that's why this boy was hated in the village.

Fang Chen began to study the fox.

Its body is made of pure chakra. Its energy… is somewhat similar to demonic qi. With this, I could reach the Nascent Soul stage if I absorb it.

The fox became curious. This stupid brat is acting strange.

"Brat! Open the seal now, or I will kill you!"

Naruto did not answer. He assumed a meditation stance.

The fox felt something strange. After the boy closed his eyes and sat in a peculiar posture, a force began pulling the chakra from its body. It tried to resist, but it could not. A mass of red chakra flew toward Naruto.

The fox screamed, "Hey! Brat! What are you doing? What did you did to my chakra?!"

Naruto said nothing. He concentrated.

"Hey! Brat! Answer me now!" The fox tried to release a Tailed Beast Bomb, but it disappeared before it could form. The energy of the attack was completely absorbed by Naruto.

The fox froze. Fear settled deep in its soul.

"Brat! Stop now!"

It felt true danger. This brat could kill me, and I would never be reborn. He is absorbing not only my chakra… but also my soul.

Naruto remained focused.

He advanced through Body Tempering, then Qi Condensation, and finally Foundation Establishment.

After six hours, he stopped and began to laugh maliciously.

"Hehehehehe…"

After a few moments, he stopped and looked at the fox. The fox cowered in a corner, clearly terrified. Its body was weak now, drained.

Naruto let out a deep sigh and thought to himself. My body is too weak… I cannot absorb the entire fox. I will need to absorb human blood to temper my body.

He stepped closer, his gaze cold and unwavering.

"Hey… fox. Why are you in my body? Explain yourself, or I will kill you!"

The fox shivered, still cornered and weak. Its eyes glowed faintly as it finally spoke, trembling with a mix of fear and anger.

"I... I was sealed inside you... The Fourth hokage sealed me inside you his new born son"

Hmm… the Fourth Hokage.

Fang Chen began to sift through Naruto's memories.

The Fourth Hokage had died as a hero twelve years ago, saving the village from a nine-tailed fox.

Now that I think about it… Naruto was called the "Fox Demon." My memories were still blurred when I first entered this space, and I didn't fully understand what I was seeing when I saw the fox. Now, it is easy for me to piece together the situation.

And the Fourth Hokage… is Naruto's father. Naruto never knew this. Why seal the fox inside his own son?

Fang Chen thought, even as a demon with no emotions, he felt something strange about this 'father's actions.

I'm a demon, I would have killed my son without a second thought. But this Hokage?

through Naruto's memories, Fang Chen learned that this Hokage had been a good hero. That knowledge made him feel… strange when he considered the man's actions.

Or was this hokage also a demon… but a pervert one?

.....

After a few moments, Naruto came out of the seal. Now that he was in the Foundation stage, it was easy for him to enter and exit the seal.

"Hey, brat! Stop!"

The fox looked at the spot where Naruto had disappeared and let out a sigh. It wanted to ask him what he had done.

Once Naruto's consciousness fully left the seal, he opened his eyes.

He stood up and walked toward the window of his bedroom. He opened it and looked outside. The village was dark, with only a few lights in the villagers' houses. The night air was slightly cool.

I'm in the Foundation stage now. I need human blood. It's too dangerous for me to act against the village yet.

He clenched his fists and thought to himself.

I must become strong. In this life, I will succeed. I will become immortal. Anyone who stands in my way will be killed.

In this life, I will rise above everyone and everything. I will walk in darkness and follow my own path, no matter what stands in my way.
