Kotono opened her eyes to find herself standing in a dark, damp sewer. The dim light barely penetrated the deep, shadowy tunnel.

Drip—
Drip—

Drops of water fell from somewhere unknown, their splashes echoing faintly through the passage.

Hadn’t she been asleep? Was this some kind of lucid dream? The atmosphere felt eerily sinister...

Without hesitation, Kotono saved her progress.

[Innate Talent: S-Rank Spatial Awareness activated.]

Sensing something, the girl looked down and unexpectedly saw many reflected images in the puddles accumulated on the grimy tiles.

“A monster!”
“That must be the demon fox...”
“Shh, don’t play with him. Let’s go home.”

On a wooden swing, a solitary blonde boy lowered his head, lips tightly pressed. The instinctive grip on the swing’s ropes seemed to drain all his strength, leaving him silent and enduring those cruel whispers.

Kotono’s exceptional spatial-temporal talent instantly helped her assess the situation. This was not reality.

Was this Naruto’s mental landscape?

The so-called mental landscape can be roughly understood as a domain expansion within certain jutsus. If fully developed, this ability can project the caster’s inner world into reality.

In her past life, Naruto never had such a thing—it was exclusive to her protagonist skill set: Unlimited Blade Works, a famously dazzling concept in the ACG world.

The dark voices echoing from the puddle made Kotono frown, but with a saved checkpoint, she felt fearless and stepped deeper into the tunnel.

Walking under the dim light, her mood grew heavier. Beneath Naruto’s seemingly cheerful and sunny exterior, so much darkness and sorrow were hidden.

She had every reason to refute each of the shadows’ accusations—Naruto was by no means the evil monster they described.

But this was not reality.

And even if it were reality, what difference would it make?

Despite her persistent efforts, progress was minimal.

Malice was like the air—pervasive and insidious.

Even if she stood in front of Naruto, the wounds carved by malice would still leave indelible scars deep in his heart.

Not to mention, Naruto was still a growing child.

The dark, damp sewer before her was already the result of her desperate protection... sigh.

Just as she was lost in thought, the space before Kotono suddenly widened. She seemed to have arrived at a plaza or some open area, which was also the darkest spot there.

Rubbing her eyes to adjust, two crimson beastly eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness!

A gigantic monster lurked in the shadows, a single eye nearly as tall as Kotono herself. She didn’t know how long it had been watching.

Looking deeper into the darkness, she could vaguely see the monster’s undulating body, like a continuous black mountain range.

“You brat, coming here is a death wish.”

A heavy, cold voice thundered, filled with dense evil and hatred detectable in its chakra.

Her overly sensitive senses caught the malevolent chakra, making her soul feel seized and painfully restless.

Roar!

A chakra storm erupted from the darkness, tossing her into a somersault.

Kotono raised her arm to shield her face, struggling to steady herself. She shouted, “I came here looking for a broom and mop!”

The unknown entity said nothing but seemed slightly puzzled.

Gradually, the chakra storm subsided.

“I want to clean up the filth outside so Naruto’s heart can become a little brighter.”

The mental landscape was a projection of the soul. Though this was only a temporary fix, it could ease Naruto’s burden for a while.

Such a young child, harboring so much darkness—he was bound to become psychologically twisted as he grew.

“Oh, you want to save this little brat filled with hatred and darkness inside.”

The heavy voice dripped with unhidden mockery.

At that moment, the unknown entity finally appeared from the shadows, revealing its full form to Kotono.

—A colossal orange-red beast with nine tails, towering like a mountain.

It resembled the legendary nine-tailed demon fox.

Trapped behind a massive red cage, it sneered harshly: “You little brat, you want to seal me—the monster residing inside his body?”

Wait.

It seemed a keyword had been triggered.

The red-haired girl’s gaze sharpened.

“You mentioned sealing, monster, inside Naruto’s body, didn’t you?”

“Tell me who did it!”

She had cracked the case—the monster was a remnant of the Holy Grail at the singularity point.

Such a huge beast sealed inside Naruto’s frail, skinny little body... Naruto was only six years old!

She was determined to kill the culprit who tormented Naruto like this!

*

Yet Kotono failed to get an answer.

For some reason, her words enraged the nine-tailed fox, which instantly became furious, roaring, “I hate you disgusting Uzumaki ninjas most of all, get out!”

Then everything went black before her, and when she awoke, dawn had come.

“Kotono, Kotono, are you alright?” Naruto said worriedly. “Why are you sweating so much?”

Kotono wanted to say she had a nightmare but felt too exhausted to speak.

Her chakra had unknowingly been depleted to zero and lit up red.

That was no dream.

Just seeing that fox and speaking two words to it drained all her chakra.

What exactly was that thing... could Naruto really be the fox’s child?

Kotono couldn’t help but think of the rumors.

No.

She immediately shook her head.

It was all the fault of those villains who sealed such a chaotic thing inside Naruto.

She had heard many rumors about the demon fox in Konoha. Regardless of whether six-year-old Naruto had done those things, if he were truly so dangerous, how could he have enrolled and lived a normal life?

“I’m fine.”

Kotono gently touched Naruto’s cheek—soft and smooth to the touch.

[Chakra Capacity +1]

Naruto nuzzled her palm like a little kitten, making her heart melt.

Yet neither her skills nor chakra could directly remove the monster inside his body.

[Impure World Reincarnation: Heroic Spirit Summoning], [Kagura’s Mind’s Eye].

Kagura’s Mind’s Eye could only sense, not exorcise.

Impure World Reincarnation offered some flexibility, but Kotono hadn’t yet decided where to find suitable relics.

This world had no Chinese, Celtic, or Indian mythology—it seemed the entire world was filled with ninjas.

If only she could summon a heroic spirit skilled in sealing and purification; then she could request a servant’s help for Naruto.

Seeing her still lying in bed lost in thought, Naruto lay down beside her and copied her by staring at the ceiling.

After a while, boredom overtook him.

Naruto rubbed his belly: “Kotono, I’m hungry.”

“I think there’s some bread left over from the day before yesterday in the fridge.”

“Oh, okay.”

After a while, Naruto excitedly said,

“No school today, what shall we do later?”

“I want to go to Shueido.”

“Shueido? What’s that?” Naruto read the unfamiliar name.

“It’s the biggest bookstore in Konoha. They sell all kinds of books—manga, reference books, and so on.”

Understanding history was essential preparation for Kotono.

She needed to find legendary figures or heroes in this world known for exorcism, sealing, and purification.

Finding them wasn’t enough—she had to choose those whose relics she could realistically gather.

She wanted to summon a purification heroic spirit to save Naruto, so she couldn’t summon the third male lead Saber just yet. Life was tight—she had to split every bit of chakra carefully.

Currently, the only deceased hero Kotono knew of was the Fourth Hokage.

The Fourth Hokage died at twenty-four, mastered the sealing technique that sealed the nine-tails, and looked handsome like the Hokage Rock—blond hair, blue eyes, and deeply mourned by the people of Konoha... Wait, isn’t that Arthurian legend’s configuration!

Arthur Pendragon, known as the Knight King, appeared as the female Saber class (swordsman) in this world.

She was said to have saved Britain from war, noble and righteous, dying young for her beloved homeland, and was sadly called “a king who doesn’t understand people.”

Like Naruto and Sasuke, she was perfectly gender-swapped!

Marvelous.

The more Kotono thought about it, the more she felt she was on the right track. After breakfast of bread and milk with Naruto, the two little rascals headed straight to Shueido.

She had already decided what books to buy.

Starting with the ninja biography of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

At this moment, Kotono felt as if a veil had lifted and light shone through.

Blond hair, blue eyes, white horse prince, hero who saved Konoha from the Third Great Ninja War—the misunderstood Fourth Hokage.

Her third male lead was definitely Minato Namikaze!

Of course, some things still felt off.

Legend had it that Arthur was betrayed and stabbed by his own son Mordred, a father and son’s tragic betrayal, while the Fourth Hokage heroically died fighting the nine-tails. Such important relationships should not be lost in reincarnation.

Most importantly—

Naruto was also blond and blue-eyed. Two male leads with the same color scheme didn’t seem right.
