In Konoha, This Naruto Has Decided To Take It Easy

Chapter 1 Fox Demon

The bell rang three times, and Rodger opened his eyes.

On the streets of Konoha, in a narrow apartment.

All he saw was darkness. On a midsummer night, the wind chimes on the balcony swayed in the wind, making a lonely sound.

At this time, a strange soul descended upon Konoha and took over Naruto's body.

[Ding! The Take It Easy System is loading]

Rodger had a severe headache and everything in front of his eyes was blurry and blood red.

‘Am I going blind?’

‘It hurts! Hiss~!’

‘It's just a game. Do I have to die suddenly for this? How will I go to work tomorrow?’

‘I'm just about to transition to a full-time position. I've almost made it.’

As the pain gradually subsided, Rodger opened his eyes, and in the dim light, he saw a strange and cluttered room.

The air was filled with a faint stench, and the walls were covered with old, moldy, pale yellow wallpaper. Clothes and books were scattered messily on the wooden floor.

Rodger seemed to realize something and looked down at his hands.

His pupils dilated slightly, and with a cry, Rodger fell backward.

‘My hand has shrunk?’

A mechanical synthesized voice echoed in his mind, and fragments of memory suddenly pierced into Rodger’s mind, causing him to scream in pain and roll over on the bed.

Voices kept drilling into his ears like ants, the pain almost making him faint.

‘Is it that child? How disgusting!’

‘I told you not to play with him. Who knows what that freak might do!’

‘It was that fox demon who killed the Yondaime Hokage.’

‘Naruto, do you have the Will of Fire?’

‘Hokage-sama is the most powerful person in the village and is the one who protects us. Naruto, you have to work hard to become Hokage too.’

"Hokage? Are you kidding me?" Rodger’s head throbbed painfully.

The surroundings were pitch black, with two small holes not far away.

He stumbled over, using all his strength to press his eyes against them, and saw there are people outside, all kinds of people. Their eyes were full of disdain, indifference, and resentment.

‘Get lost! You monster!’

‘I won’t sell anything to you! Get out!’

‘Why don't you just die? How can you still have the courage to live in this world?! You monster!’

The cold emotions mixed with pain surged in his heart, almost suffocating Rodger. He turned over, gritted his teeth, and pounded his chest with all his might, and only then was he able to catch his breath.

Rodger suddenly opened his eyes. Lying on the bed, he saw a slowly appearing panel in front of him. He had read many novels and played many games, so he roughly understands his current situation.

He had crossed over and become Uzumaki Naruto from Naruto. At the moment, he should still be in the Academy, and is about to face the Genin Graduation Exam.

What comforted him was that despite the transmigration, the system unique to outsiders was also fully equipped on him.

‘It seemed to be still loading, but what kind of system was it?’

‘Whatever, having a system is better than having no system at all.’

Looking at the night scene outside the window, Rodger had no intention of sleeping. He turned over, got out of bed, and fumbled to turn on the room light.

With a click, the bright light dispelled the uneasiness in his heart.

"From now on, I am Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto ignored the messy room and the smelly table. No one could blame an orphan who had no one to care for him for not tidying up. After all, there was no one even to scold him.

Naruto sat at the table, took out paper and pen, and tried to write a line, automatically writing it in the Japanese Language.

But Naruto could also understand it. He tried to say a sentence, and it seemed he had several language choices. He could switch back and forth between three or four languages. Although it was useless in this world, as long as he knew Japanese Language, it would be enough.

He pulled open his clothes, but couldn't see the seal of the Nine-Tailed Fox on his belly.

‘This was a bit troublesome, the Double Four Symbols Seal.’

The Chakra leaking from the seal of the Kyubi flowed through his Chakra Pathway System, eventually turning into normal blue Chakra.

Although he could temporarily use the Kyubi’s Chakra, it was not a long-term solution.

After thinking for a while, Naruto wrote down his training plan on paper. In this world, naturally, only the strong have the right to speak.

Being as strong as possible would also help his future growth.

Then there was life. Naruto scratched his head, stood up, and walked to the dressing mirror. Looking at the young face in the mirror, he grinned broadly, baring his teeth.

‘To hell with being Hokage!’

‘Who wants to become something like that and protect those who despise him? Dream on, better for them all to die! Bastards, trash!’

He vented all the negative emotions accumulated in his heart, and instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

‘Forget about becoming Hokage, but it is still necessary to make my life better.’

‘To hell with companions, the village, the Will of Fire. Living was for enjoyment. Once the system finished loading, I can walk around the village with my head held high.’

While humming a tune, Naruto wrote down his Genin training plan on a piece of paper.

‘Become the coolest guy in the village!’

…

The next day, at daybreak.

The first thing Naruto did upon waking was to pull up the panel to check the system's loading progress. The damned loading speed was like a 2G network, which was really frustrating.

Naruto yawned. He didn't get much sleep last night. Seeing it was almost dawn, he could only drag himself out of bed to wash up.

Thinking that he still had a few theoretical classes in the morning, he could just lie down in the classroom and catch up on his sleep. Anyway, in the eyes of his classmates, Naruto was always like this, and no one cared about such an ominous person.

After washing up, Naruto spent another hour tidying up the room.

Choosing his clothes before going out, Naruto had a really hard time. His previous outfit looked like that of a flashy delinquent, and the big jacket was too hot for summer.

After hesitating for a moment, Naruto chose a casual black short-sleeved shirt with brown shorts, and did not take the goggles on the table.

He is not a Genin yet, so he does not have a Konoha’s forehead protector.

"I'm heading out!" He shouted into the empty room, receiving no response, but he didn't mind, and slammed the door shut.

He lived in an old apartment building on Konoha Street. He had to go through many winding alleys to get out. Seeing people standing in the sunlight, Naruto paused for a moment.

Until he saw their disapproving gazes, Naruto shrugged indifferently, lowered his head, and silently walked through the crowd.

The villagers' expressions were cold and indifferent, their eyes casting disdainful glances at Naruto before quickly looking away.

At the Academy, Shikamaru lazily scanned the crowd and then seemed to notice something. He nudged Choji next to him and pointed in a direction for Choji to look over there.

"Isn't that Naruto?" Choji stopped eating his chips, "Did he get beaten up on the road again?"

"That should be it." Shikamaru showed a pair of dead fish eyes, "Those people are really excessive."

Choji threw the last chip into his mouth, crunching it loudly.

The two then swaggered towards the crowd, using advantage of Choji’s round body to their advantage, squeezing through the crowd surrounding Naruto. After all, no matter how powerful these people who bullied Naruto were, they wouldn’t dare to offend the Ino-Shika-Cho clans.
