The deal with Zabuza fell through, and Naruto didn't linger.
Activating the Flying Thunder God Technique, he returned to his home in Konoha. It was already late, almost time for bed.
After lying down, Naruto's consciousness entered the Sealing Space.
Kurama was still engrossed in his reference books, pondering how to write a captivating and excellent story.
Naruto didn't pay him much attention, sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV.
He watched a web novel-themed drama called Love O2O.
It told the story of Bei Weiwei, a girl in a parallel Earth city, and Xiao Nai, a top student and male god, who met through online gaming and then met in real life, fell in love, and showered each other with affection.
After watching it sporadically for over half a month, Naruto was finally nearing the end.
A moment later, putting down the remote, Naruto was about to start watching the next big-budget sci-fi movie he had already chosen, The Wandering Earth, when he suddenly paused.
He sensed that during the process of absorbing Sasuke's Chakra and Pupil Power earlier, his eyes had undergone another transformation. According to the intensity, they now had the Pupil Power strength of Sasuke's Three Tomoe Sharingan.
However, that was all.
Although Naruto's eyes had undergone another transformation, he still hadn't awakened them, which meant that this Pupil Power was still in a state of gestation and couldn't be used temporarily.
"Could it be that I really have to wait until the Pupil Power in my eyes reaches the intensity of the Rinnegan before I can awaken them? Something must be wrong."
Naruto frowned.
Originally, he had planned to wait for his eyes to awaken naturally, but now that the Pupil Power was at the Three Tomoe level, they still hadn't awakened. It seemed he needed to give himself some necessary stimulation.
Putting down the remote, Naruto called out to Kurama beside him.
"Kurama, you've watched a lot of TV shows, movies, and novels. Recommend some funny and exciting content to me, the funnier and more emotionally stimulating the better," Naruto requested.
Although the Video Library had a lot of content, all of which were high-quality works, and even a dedicated comedy section, Naruto didn't know which ones were particularly outstanding.
And now, Kurama, the fox who had been a shut-in for many years, could come in handy.
Hearing Naruto say this, Kurama's eyes lit up, and he became interested.
He asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in this? I don't remember you having any particular preference for what you watch. You've also been very calm lately, so you don't need comedy to relieve your mood, do you?"
Naruto didn't hide anything, explaining, "The Pupil Power in my eyes is now at the Three Tomoe level, but I haven't awakened them yet, so I plan to give myself some stimulation. The awakening conditions for the Sharingan are gaining love and losing love."
"Sasuke's method of playing games doesn't work for me, because the feeling of gaining love and losing love can't be deliberately pursued. You have to naturally reach that state."
"Knowing that the game mechanics are problematic beforehand, I won't be angered into awakening my eyes. I'll only be angered into smashing the server."
"So, I was thinking of watching some funny and exciting works. If I'm too happy and touched by the plot, maybe I'll awaken my eyes."
Hearing this, Kurama was thoughtful.
Then, he thought of what happened yesterday, his heart stirred, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, then I'll recommend a few good ones to you. This anime called School Days is very good, and this one called Akame ga Kill!."
"Oh, right, 5 Centimeters per Second, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and White Album 2 are also good, and this novel called Yang Jian - Life's Everlasting Regret Flows Eastward.
I'm telling you, it's a super satisfying novel. The protagonist slaps faces like crazy later on, it's incredibly satisfying."
"And this one..."
Kurama recommended over a dozen anime, novels, and movies to Naruto in one breath, then opened the anime called School Days.
"Since it's recommended by Kurama, it must be good. The male protagonist is named Ito Makoto, a train? High school uniform? Is it a high school daily romance anime? Then I'll give it a watch."
Naruto glanced at the anime. Although the graphics were a bit old, the characters were drawn decently.
The female lead, Katsura Kotonoha, was the type of girl who fit Naruto's aesthetic very well.
However, the more Naruto watched, the more he frowned.
Not only did he not feel any sense of comedy or shuǎng (shuǎng - carefree) from this anime, but he felt more and more depressed as he watched.
"Kurama, are you sure you didn't misremember? This is a comedy shuǎng anime?" Naruto frowned and asked Kurama, who was beside him.
This anime called School Days was indeed a daily romance anime, telling the story of a high school student named Ito Makoto who fell in love with Katsura Kotonoha, a beautiful but introverted girl from the class next door.
Then, Ito Makoto's good friend, Saionji Sekai, clearly liked Ito Makoto, but insisted on helping Ito Makoto pursue Katsura Kotonoha.
This was a love triangle right from the start, and it was obvious that it was going to be heart-wrenching later on.
"There will be an awesome reversal later, I guarantee you'll enjoy it, super shuǎng, I'm really not lying to you!" Kurama said with a sincere look, meeting Naruto's suspicious gaze.
Naruto was dubious and patiently continued watching.
However, the more Naruto watched, the more expressionless he became, until he saw the middle part, when his mentality completely exploded.
Saionji Sekai crazily seduced Ito Makoto, under the guise of practice, to give Katsura Kotonoha a better experience later, while Ito Makoto, feeling guilty, began to waver between the two girls and gradually distanced himself from Katsura Kotonoha.
And Katsura Kotonoha, who was distraught, was finally taken advantage of by one of Ito Makoto's friends, a blond guy.
At this time, Naruto finally understood where the blond guy meme came from.
Turning his head, Naruto reached out and grabbed Kurama, then pointed at the female lead Katsura Kotonoha on the TV, and roared at the fox in his hand, "This is what you call shuǎng? Super shuǎng? This reversal is indeed quite big!"
Naruto, who had been kēng (to trick) people for a long time, was now backstabbed, and he felt the Pupil Power in his eyes stirring.
Kurama was secretly overjoyed, but on the surface, he looked innocent, spread his paws, and said helplessly, "It's really shuǎng, there's a particularly big reversal later, this is just a necessary prelude, really, you believe me!"
Naruto put down Kurama and continued watching with a blank expression.
It wasn't that he believed Kurama's words, but that he had to finish watching the anime he had started, no matter how bad it was.
After that, Ito Makoto completely let go of himself and began his harem journey.
The number of girls went from single digits to double digits, and was still increasing crazily, and under Katsura Kotonoha's ultimate tiǎn gǒu (simping) behavior, Ito Makoto abandoned Saionji Sekai and reconciled with her.
As a result, Saionji Sekai completely went berserk and blackened, giving Ito Makoto a righteous backstab when the water boiled, killing him.
Then, the kendo master killed Saionji Sekai to avenge Ito Makoto, and holding his head, sat on a yacht and sailed to the distant sea, committing suicide, and the story ended.
Congratulations.
Congratulations my ass!
