Chapter 5 - The Chaos Unleashed – Shiro's Transformation

[This time, the life simulation score is A]

[As the most powerful of the Nine Tails, Kurama, your life cannot be said to have been without accomplishments. However, it can only be described as mediocre.]

[The only thing worthy of recognition is how you nearly wiped out the entire Akatsuki organization by yourself, but unfortunately, your brilliance was as fleeting as a flower blooming for a moment.]

[As the strongest of the Tailed Beasts, you ended up dying ignominiously because of a lack of combat experience, being backstabbed by the Ten-Tails. This is truly a disgrace to the Tailed Beasts!]

[The reason you received such a high score was mainly because you indirectly led to the death of the "Prophet's Child," Naruto Uzumaki, ensuring the success of the Moon's Eye Plan after your death, allowing Kaguya Ootsutsuki to be revived.]

[The entire Shinobi world was transformed into a factory for creating human weapons for Kaguya Ootsutsuki, dramatically changing the history of the Naruto world.]

[PS: Many people from the Shinobi world are eager to "thank" you in person.]

Shiro stared at the system's evaluation, feeling a deep sense of frustration. In the life simulation, he was supposed to be the strongest—he was the Nine-Tails, after all! Yet, he ended up leading a life of aimless survival.

He had the power of two great talents, the orange and red chakra, and he was the most powerful of the Nine Tails. Despite all that, after getting beaten by Hashirama Senju, he had led a life of complacency, only to end up abandoning Naruto and sending him straight into Orochimaru's hands.

Orochimaru, the "Mad Scientist" of the ninja world, had been ruthless in his pursuit of knowledge. Shiro had allowed Naruto to be delivered to his care, which was a reckless decision, considering Orochimaru was capable of doing anything for power.

[The host can choose one reward from the following options:]

"Tail Beast Shame" Title: After wearing this title, any other Tailed Beast will instantly develop the urge to destroy you. Your ability to escape from Tailed Beasts will increase tenfold.

The Curse of the Shinobi World: A power formed by the accumulated resentment of the many dead in the Shinobi World who hold hatred toward a certain Nine-Tailed Fox. If you accept this, you will become a calamity, leaving death and destruction in your wake wherever you go. You will never know love, friendship, or family again, but no one will dare oppose you.

Half of Kurama's Chakra: The system feels that this needs no explanation.

Without hesitation, Shiro immediately selected the third option.

"Option three it is!" he said, dismissing the other two rewards as completely unsuitable for him. There was no way he was going to pick them.

[The reward is being granted, please wait for a moment.]

[The reward has been granted. Afterward, the system will enter a recovery period. The system recovery time is calculated as 1 year in the simulation equaling 1 hour in real life.]

[Since this is your first simulation, the recovery period will be reduced to 12 hours.]

[Friendly reminder: Due to your current poor physical condition, receiving half of Kurama's chakra will inevitably lead to violent rampage. Please be prepared.]

Shiro's eyes widened in shock.

"Why didn't you warn me earlier?!" he exclaimed.

[The reward has been granted. Good luck, host.]

Suddenly, an excruciating pain shot through Shiro's body. It felt like his very soul was being shredded by a thousand ants. He couldn't help but scream in agony.

The sound of his anguished cry reached Iruka, who was teaching in the classroom. He set down his books and walked toward the door, but even before he reached it, a voice echoed in his ears.

"Shiro! What on earth are you doing this time?"

However, Shiro was already beyond the point of responding. His consciousness was being overwhelmed by Kurama's chakra, and he could no longer hear Iruka's concerned voice.

The crimson chakra began to surge from Shiro's body, rapidly covering him. It quickly formed into a massive, fox-shaped entity with nine tails hanging ominously in the air above the academy.

Iruka stood frozen in disbelief, watching the terrifying sight unfold before him. The fox's chakra radiated a dark and powerful energy, making Iruka's heart race with fear.

"Shiro-kun..." Hinata, from the crowd, looked up at the immense fox-shaped chakra, her face filled with concern.

Iruka, having taught for many years, had never encountered a situation like this. His voice trembled as he addressed the students, "Everyone, run! Get out of here, this monster is something you can't handle!"

The students began to flee, but Hinata hesitated, trying to stay behind, only to be dragged away by her classmates.

"Good luck, Iruka-sensei! Please stop the monster!" one of the students called out as they ran.

At the Hokage's Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, was startled by the sudden surge of Nine-Tails chakra rising from the academy.

"Nine-Tails' chakra? Is it Naruto?" he muttered to himself in disbelief, rising from his seat.

Without hesitation, he summoned the ANBU and ordered them to head to the academy. But by the time they reached halfway there, the fox's chakra had already filled the skies above the village.

"It's the Fox! Run!" villagers shouted in panic as they scattered in all directions.

The Third Hokage's heart pounded as he quickened his pace. When he arrived at the academy, his eyes widened in shock at the sight of the immense fox made from chakra. Iruka was standing before it, trying to hold his ground.

"Iruka, why has Naruto gone berserk?" the Third Hokage called out as he ran up.

Iruka hesitated before replying, "Hokage-sama, this isn't Naruto."

The distant sound of a cheerful voice interrupted them.

"I'm right here, Grandpa!" Naruto called out from afar.

The Third Hokage froze in shock. "Not Naruto? Then who is this Nine-Tails?"

Iruka explained, "It's... my other student, Shiro. He... has turned into the Nine-Tails Fox."

The Third Hokage was left utterly confused. "Shiro?"

Meanwhile, the massive fox's chakra was moving with intention. It swung its tails, and the massive claws surged toward the Third Hokage. Before he could react, the claws slammed into him, sending him crashing to the ground, blood pouring from his mouth.

The villagers watched in horror as the once-beloved Hokage was overwhelmed by the Nine-Tails' fury.

"Isn't the Third Hokage supposed to be the strongest?" they whispered in disbelief.

Shiro, fully transformed into the Nine-Tails, began to gather energy for a Tail Beast Bomb, aiming it directly at the Third Hokage. However, as the attack was about to launch, a flicker of awareness returned to Shiro's mind.

"Wait, what am I doing? That's the Third Hokage! I can't do this!" Shiro thought in panic.

He quickly adjusted the trajectory of the Tail Beast Bomb, aiming it toward the sky instead of the village. The attack roared into the sky, leaving a massive explosion in the distance.

Shiro's thoughts were chaotic, but he managed to stop the attack before it could cause irreversible damage.

Thus, Shiro's chaotic rampage came to a halt. He had unleashed his power but at the cost of immense danger to the village. Now, he would have to face the consequences of his actions...
