Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Girl Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke
Looking at the drastically different Hokage Mountain, Naruto mumbled to himself.
"Is it because the distance is too far? Or does the massive stone carving just look too abstract?"
Although he thought the figures on Hokage Mountain looked strange, Naruto didn't dwell on it.
Instead, he appeared in the Anbu's line of sight, rubbing his eyes and casually returning to his room.
Although there were Hyuga clan Jonin members in the Anbu, they wouldn't activate the Byakugan [White Eye] all the time just to watch a little kid.
At most, when Naruto didn't appear in their sight for a long time, they would symbolically activate the Byakugan to check on him, then quickly turn it off.
Once back in his room, Naruto immediately entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Without hesitation, he used the active cell enhancement potion from his starter pack, along with a chakra expansion card.
Three minutes later.
Naruto stepped out of the house, walking with firm strides.
In the past, Naruto's diet mainly consisted of instant noodles and junk food, making him seem frail and weak.
Even though he had the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, the fact that he couldn't even beat a few ordinary kids was proof of his weakness.
But after taking the active cell enhancement potion, both his complexion and his body felt full of resilience.
Before using the chakra expansion card, Naruto could barely feel a faint trace of chakra in his body.
After using the chakra expansion card, that faint chakra immediately grew into a full-fledged flow.
Naruto felt that if he used the Shadow Clone Technique now, the clones he created would definitely not be as weak as the ones he had used before.
This feeling, of going from nothing to something, from weak to strong, made Naruto even more excited about his future growth.
As he walked down the street, his ears picked up the system's notifications.

…
Several pairs of eyes from the crowd fell on him. Using his talent, "Vision Insight," Naruto turned his head and immediately saw a group of villagers glaring at him with disdain and cold eyes.
"Hmph, this is really great."
"Just appearing has already given me 13 points of negative emotion value."
Naruto had only walked halfway down the street when he had already gathered 39 points of negative emotion value from these villagers.
If it weren't for the fact that laughing would break the image he had built up so far, he might have deliberately mocked them.
Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped out, two unwavering gazes constantly lingered on him.
Now, being in the same world as the anime scenes, Naruto naturally wanted to enjoy the experience.
However, just as he was about to reach the end of the street, he heard something that shocked him for life from a group of elderly women nearby.
"Hey, did you hear? The Uchiha clan was wiped out last night, is it true?"
"Shh... It's true, my husband works in the Intelligence Department. He said the person who wiped out the Uchihas wasn't anyone else but the most dazzling young talent of the Uchiha clan—Uchiha Itachi."
"What? Isn't she only 13 years old? How could she be so ruthless? She killed over two thousand people from her own clan?"
"Exactly! They say she even killed her own parents. The scene was a river of blood."
"Wait, isn't there one Uchiha still alive? I heard he just came out of Konoha Hospital."
"Who was lucky enough to survive the massacre?"
These words struck Naruto like a thunderbolt. He froze on the spot, countless images flashing through his mind.
Before he could even process everything, he had forgotten that he was now the demon fox that the villagers avoided. Without thinking, he stepped forward and rushed into the gossiping group of women, grabbing the one who had spoken about Itachi and Sasuke being girls and asked, "What did you say? The most dazzling Uchiha talent, Uchiha Itachi?"
Naruto was holding the woman's sleeve with a face full of disbelief, not even noticing the cold atmosphere around him or the women's glaring expressions. He continued, "Uchiha Sasuke, the girl?"
But by the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.
The surrounding women immediately recognized him as the demon fox's son and yelled at him.
"Get away! Who allowed you to approach us?"
"Unlucky person, how can someone like you still stay in the village?"
"It's your fault! If it wasn't for you, my sister wouldn't have died seven years ago!"
Now, Naruto was only seven years old. Due to years of eating unhealthy junk food, he was already shorter and weaker than other kids his age. How could he deal with the rough women who were several heads taller than him?
Although the women around him were furious and looked like they were in a bad mood, none of them dared to openly call him the demon fox. After all, the penalty for breaking the village's gag order was severe.
But the woman whom Naruto had grabbed didn't have such self-restraint.
She shook off his hand with disgust, then pushed him down to the ground.
"Who gave you the guts to touch me? This is my new outfit! How am I supposed to wear it after you've touched it?"
The woman was very angry, and as she thought about it more, she stepped forward and aimed a kick at Naruto's stomach.
At that moment, Naruto finally snapped back to his senses. He was no longer just an observer but the real Uzumaki Naruto.
The woman's kick was not fast, but it wasn't something a normal seven-year-old could easily dodge.
Luckily, before stepping out, he had taken the "Active Cell Enhancement Potion" and "Chakra Expansion Card," and his small body's physical fitness was already three times stronger than before. Just before the woman's foot landed, he managed to twist his body and dodge it.
But as he dodged, it wasn't without consequence.
The woman, having gathered all her strength for the kick, lost her balance and fell hard to the ground with a loud "bang."
The sound of her screams and curses filled the street.
The commotion immediately attracted a crowd of villagers from afar.
As expected, once they realized it was the demon fox's son who had caused the trouble, all of them looked at Naruto with hostile eyes.
In his past life, as an audience member, Lin Mingren could never have felt how heavy this hostility was.
Facing dozens of cold, hostile gazes, he seemed to hear whispers from the children around him.
"Why don't you go die already? Why are you still in Konoha?"
In his previous life, the term "cold violence" was something he had only seen in movies, but now, surrounded by so many people, he could truly experience it firsthand.
It felt as though he had casually asked for directions on the street and suddenly found himself surrounded by the entire block, being mocked, insulted, and ridiculed.
Combined with the sacrifices Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki made for Konoha, even though he wasn't the real Naruto, his eyes reddened, his face full of grievance, and deep hatred surged in his heart that he couldn't suppress.
"Naruto, right now... only I can truly feel your pain."
