Naruto: Systematic Shinobi
Chapter 114: The Chunin Exams - 40

When he was done healing Lee, he beat a hasty retreat. Just to let Tenten calm down a bit.

She hid it well, but her embarrassment at simping for him to boost his ego to do what she asked, had hurt her pride a bit. And she knocked Lee the fuck out when he was still just as loud.

Like full on senbon tipped with a sleeping drug.

And stabbed him in the leg with it.

Well, it was fine, she could heal that much herself.

He wasn't afraid or anything of course, he just wanted to let her get her emotions under control. Honest.

…Okay so maybe he pushed it a bit far.

'I regret nothing.' Daiki grinned to himself as he returned to his room, closing the door behind him.

It may have embarrassed Tenten to put on that little act, but he got to see an all new side of her. So it was totally worth it.

'And all that because she said you weren't funny.' Isobu snorted. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

'Clearly a lie.' Daiki shrugged. Just because everyone else had such low levels of humour, didn't mean he wasn't funny, it just meant everyone else was too dumb.

Clearly.

…Obviously.

'That's a bigger delusion than Shukaku thinking he can take Kurama on in a fight.' Isobu scoffed.

Hey, it could happen.

If Shukaku fought Kurama out in the desert, he'd have the advantage, and for as stupidly powerful as Kurama was, he was only at half strength now at best, so he wouldn't put it past Shukaku to eek out a vict-

'No, it wouldn't even be close,' Isobu cut him off, 'Even at only half capacity, Kurama would still have more chakra than the other eight of us combined, and while when it comes to you humans, more chakra isn't really a full indicator of strength, it's different for us Bijuu. The more chakra we have, the stronger, more durable and faster we are in general, and of course…none of us even come close to Kurama's destructive output with a Bijuudama. Even now, he could form one that could blow away an island and the entire surrounding area easily, Shukaku has no chance one on one, even in the desert.'

…Huh.

Granted, Daiki had a good idea of how absurdly strong Kurama was just from reference. After all, he did see Kurama in his first bijuu transformation with Naruto, beat not only his buddy Isobu himself, but Matatabi, Son Goku, Kokuo, Saiken and Chomei.

And even with all six of their Bijuudama's combined, Kurama still countered them at full power…after they had a head start in charging theirs over his.

…Poor poor Shukaku.

Ganbare sand guy.

'Well at the very least, he can take pride in being a Tanuki and having the biggest balls of all.' Daiki mused.

'…We Bijuu lack genitalia, I have told you this before, have I not?' Isobu snorted.

Oh yeah.

Poor, poor…poor Shukaku-chan.

'Indeed,' Isobu laughed, 'While we all have rather useful and powerful abilities, in the end, Kurama's raw power and strengths trumps the versatility we have over him. At full power, I would be lucky to last a few minutes in a fight against him.'

Kurama was such a broken cheater man. Nine-tails Op, pls nerf.

'I'd rather whoever you're pleading to didn't,' Isobu rolled his eyes, 'That overpowered strength will be vital in the future if things go to hell as you saw.'

Well…yeah.

But Kurama was a real dark spot. There was nothing Daiki could do to get him to cooperate with Naruto. His arrogance and hatred was just that high up there.

It would be up to Naruto himself to win Kurama over. If he even could this time around. The best Daiki himself could do…was maybe teach Naruto how to use his powers as a jinchuuriki.

'And that won't be a simple issue either,' Isobu pointed out, 'After all, I'm fully working together with you. He will have to wrestle mentally with Kurama to control the chakra and resist my brothers attempts to send him into a blood rage that will attack anything in sight.'

'….Have I mentioned how much I love you buddy?' Daiki replied. Seriously, he was so, so glad he didn't need to deal with anything like that.

'Fake and gay.' the huge turtle bijuu snorted.

'How can it be gay if you don't have a dick?' Daiki squawked, surprised at the internet meme suddenly thrown his away.

A dead one at that.

'Watching your memories through your subconscious and learning about your former culture is a good way to pass the time,' Isobu was completely unrepentant, 'Also, going by the logic of the culture in your former life, I 'identify' as male.'

'No.' Daiki replied simply.

'I do have to say though, your taste in literature and these 'anime' you liked to watch shows your poor taste,' the three tailed bijuu ignored him and continued on, 'You watched so much of these harem shows because of girls, but ground your teeth in a rage over the main characters because of how spineless they were. I suppose your lust for voluptuous girls and the childish dream of a harem overpowered your sheer dislike, especially of this, hmm who was it again, Tom Aolo?'

'Yes, that's his name,' Daiki replied instantly, blocking out any thought otherwise, 'Also again, we're not doing this.' so he disliked that the wimps that were never proactive or improved on themselves at all got all these grade A girls to themselves, sue him. He wasn't alone in that taste.

Rosario Vampire just happened to be the first ever harem series he watched through.

His biggest problem with them was that they were supposed to be your average joe. But they weren't. He was an average joe in his other life. And he was nowhere near as pitiful as those clowns.

'Hoh, are you embarrassed? How amusing, if I knew bringing up your horrible taste in entertainment was enough to do this, I would have done it much sooner,' Isobu laughed, amused, 'Though if it makes you feel better, I do believe you are much superior to the likes of this Tom Aolo."

You know…it didn't make him feel better.

That was like saying he was more interesting than a dogs turd, covered in flies, and having been baked under the sun for an entire day.

"…I think I'll get started working on my new seal." he nodded to himself. He had two days now until the preliminaries started. He was eager to add the power of Shisui's Sharingan to his Shinkugan.

Isobu's laughter echoed in his head.

Distracting him.

Damned turtle bro!
