It stood somewhere between a regular [Possessed Mokujin] and the [Possessed Elder Mokujin] in size, but its most defining feature was that its wooden form was shining like the entire thing was made from polished gold.
Possessed Golden Mokujin LV20
[Blessed Wood of the Forest]
A screen appearing in front of him made Naruto blink, then deadpan at it.
[Rare Enemy]
Congratulations on facing your first Rare Enemy! These, as the name suggests, are enemies that appear with far less frequency than other monsters, and they typically possess equally rare and useful drop items. Of course, they are also quite a bit more powerful than regular monsters as well, which is why they are sometimes referred to as 'Mini-Bosses' by various Gamers. More risk, more reward.
Good luck!
"Oh, just fuck you, game." Naruto deadpanned under his breath before dodging out of the way of a punch from the Mokujin. Its movements were more fluid and human-like than its counterparts, not to mention quicker.
Also, unlike before, rather than having a pair of hardened blocks at the end of its arms, this one had a pair of fully functional hands.
Hands that were currently forming a set of handsigns!
"No freaking way!" the boy blurted out in shock.
In spite of the fact that a Mokujin wasn't a living creature (and therefore had no chakra network), the impossibility before him continued to break the standards of reality by speaking in a voice that sounded more like leaves rustling in the wind than anything comparable to a human voice.
"Mokuton: Kozuchi! (Wood Style: Wooden Mallet!)"
In one fluid movement the possessed dummy knelt onto the ground and slammed its hands into the dirt. Instantly several large lengths of wood, each about as long as Naruto's arm and ending in a spike-like point, shot out of the ground and tried to impale him.
Naruto was forced to leap to the side, barely managing to avoid the spikes by the skin of his teeth. Rolling back to his feet, Naruto resisted the urge to stow his weapons and turn this into a straight ninjutsu fight. He'd already decided that he was going to fight and win with his tantō, and that was what he was going to do!
The pop up a few seconds later made one eyebrow twitch.
[Quest Alert!]
By the Sword: You are facing a mini-boss class monster and you wish to defeat it without disarming yourself of your tantō. Valiant, but foolish. The system will be impressed if you manage that.
Quest Objective: Defeat the [Possessed Golden Mokujin] without dropping your tantō.
Bonus Objective: Invent a combat technique involving your tantō before the end of the fight.
Quest Reward: +1000 EXP, Shikomizue, [Mokuton Kekkei Genkai Journal, Vol.1], +10000 Ryo.
Bonus Reward: [Tantō Nitōryū Kenjutsu: Tantō Zanmai] Skill Scroll OR [Tantō Nitōryū Kenjutsu: Nisen Tōgen Kyō] Skill Scroll.
Quest Failure: Get killed by a tree. What an embarrassing end.
Accept?

Hitting the 'Y' button with a hurried jab of an extended index finger, Naruto let a part of his mind ruminate on how snarky the window was before moving on to the rewards for the bonus objectives. Both techniques sounded pretty cool; he hoped that he'd at least get a look at what they could do before he was forced to choose.
"Mokuton: Moku Bunshin! (Wood Style: Wood Clone!)" the Mokujin rustled, two clones seemingly sprouting from either side of its body. Now confronted with five powerful Mokujin, Naruto decided to take things seriously and activated his [Fūton Chakra Nagashi], coating both tantō in flowing blades of wind.
"You wanna dance? OK, let's dance!" the fresh genin growled out as he settled into a ready stance. As if on cue, the five monsters charged at him.
Meeting the rush head on, Naruto bit back a yelp as multiple wooden fists swung at (and barely missed) his head. He returned the favour with a whirling assault with both his tantō blades, lopping off wooden limbs left and right. The wind chakra flowing through his blades made chopping through the wooden limbs way easier than he expected, but Naruto was moderately surprised when the damage didn't dispel any of the clones.
Apparently, Wood Clones were pretty durable. Who knew?
Leaping back and out of the melee for the moment, forcing the five wooden monsters (three of which were missing an arm) to break apart before they could purse, Naruto thought furiously about how to complete the Bonus Objective on this mission. He could think of one trick that might work off the top of his head, but it seemed like more of a Chakra Flow technique than an actual tantō technique.
Still, wouldn't hurt to try it out.
With his usual disregard for the consequences, Naruto brought his right-hand tantō up and cut the chakra flow to his left-hand one all together. Then he started pushing as much chakra down into his right-hand tantō blade as he thought it could handle safely.
In an explosion of shrieking wind, the blade elongated and expanded until it was twice the height of Asuma-sensei and as wide as Naruto's own body. It was also really unstable, so he immediately swung it to attack the enemies charging at him. One of them kicked off another and flew back, the original presumably.
The four remaining Mokujin clones were instantly bisected by Naruto's new technique, their golden colouring fading away as they reverted to regular wood. As the torsos and legs clattered to the ground, Naruto's new technique vanished as well.
While it was cool, he was pretty damn sure that it was in no way a tantō technique, so he had to come up with something else to get the Bonus Objective completed.
Reigniting the wind blades around his weapons, Naruto launched himself forward and into the air as the cursed dummy started running through another set of handsigns. While still in mid-air, he brought back both blades over his right shoulder as he started to spin through the air as he descended. Before the Mokujin could finish the last of its seals, Naruto was directly over it, bringing both blades down and slashing through its arms and body in a single swing.
As the arms and torso clattered to the ground, Naruto immediately leapt back, just in case of a trick or last-ditch attack technique. But the screen popping up made him relax.
