Chapter 139
A few hours later, Naruto concentrated chakra into his hand without using any hand seals, letting the chakra spin with all its might.
A blue chakra orb gradually solidified and increased in rotation speed as Naruto poured more chakra into it.
"Ding~ Reminder: Congratulations to the host for learning ninjutsu: Rasengan."
"Ding~ Reminder: A-rank rating progress complete 20/20. Mission completed."
"Ding~ Reminder: S-rank rating progress activated. Current progress: 20/30."
The system notification rang in Naruto's ears once again.
Not far from Naruto, Kakashi lay dazed under a tree, resting. The sunset shone on him, making him feel unbearably hot.
"That's enough for today."
Naruto was very satisfied with his results. At this pace, he could reach S-rank rating standard tomorrow, and finish the mission perfectly the day after or the day after that—getting the highest cost-performance rewards.
Noticing Kakashi resting nearby, Naruto couldn't help saying: "Just a dozen or so ninjutsu and you're already tapped out? That's way too weak!"
Before, Naruto had believed Kakashi's chakra shortage was due to the Sharingan.
But now, Naruto didn't buy that Kakashi's chakra was low just because of novels!
If the body was no good, chakra naturally couldn't keep up… as for how exactly it was "no good"… cough cough…
Kakashi didn't answer Naruto's words—because what Naruto said was simply inhuman!
In a normal one-on-one fight, using ninjutsu ten times was already an extremely long battle duration.
Right now, Kakashi felt like he'd just been through a brutal war…
Someone like Naruto—who treated ninjutsu like toys and played with them all day without getting tired at all.
That kind of thing could only happen in clans with massive chakra reserves, like Uzumaki or Senju…
But he, Kakashi, didn't have that kind of bloodline.
Right now, all Kakashi wanted was to end this quickly, go home, eat several huge bowls of rice, and sleep for 24 hours straight.
…
"I wonder what Little Sakyo is doing right now."
After saying goodbye to Kakashi and Guy, Naruto walked home and started thinking about Sakyo.
"How about… going to her place to hang out?"
"No… no way."
Naruto quickly rejected the idea. Even for couples in the honeymoon phase, both sides needed to give each other enough personal space and time—otherwise, problems would arise.
Then just go home. He wouldn't bother Sakyo for these few days. After finishing the mission, he'd go tease her again.
Mm! Decided!
Having decided not to disturb Sakyo for now, Naruto turned and headed into the market.
Ten seconds later…
"Damn it! This old man buying your vegetables is already giving you face—don't be ungrateful!"
"Every time you resist—what's the point of resisting?"
"You might as well obediently sell me the stuff—saves everyone trouble!"
…
After some "friendly interaction" with the vegetable vendor, Naruto happily carried his groceries home.
Just as Naruto was about to push open his door, the door next door opened.
This made Naruto ecstatic. After all, this place was where monsters lived—the surrounding villagers had all moved away. The only ones left were either tough guys or broke people.
And now someone was voluntarily approaching Naruto's house?
Creak~
Tsurugi Fubuki came out of her room carrying a bag of trash, her expression calm.
Konoha was really great!
They even sold potato chips—this delicious human treat had instantly hooked Tsurugi Fubuki…
Today, Tsurugi Fubuki had spent all the relief money she got from the ANBU shopping. She stuffed the fridge full of vegetables and meat, and bought a huge pile of snacks—blew through two months' living expenses in one day.
But Tsurugi Fubuki wasn't panicked at all. She could use ninjutsu—worst case, she'd take missions to earn money.
Right now, Tsurugi Fubuki felt she had already fallen in love with Konoha. Life here was simply wonderful.
Compared to Konoha, the Land of Snow was basically a refugee camp.
Compared to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Fūka Natsunami was simply an evil boss exploiting employees.
Mm, so Konoha is good, Konoha is wonderful, Konoha is my home—everyone loves it!
The only downside was:
"No way… I'm actually neighbors with a little pervert?"
Tsurugi Fubuki saw Naruto carrying groceries and opening his door, instantly getting a headache.
She had just been thinking of visiting her only neighbor.
After all, as the saying goes—distant relatives aren't as good as close neighbors. Good neighbor relations were important.
And the result?
Her neighbor was Uzumaki Naruto?
That little pervert?
Naruto didn't hold back either. He directly said: "Tsk tsk, just arrived in Konoha and already turned into a shut-in?"
"Eating so many potato chips—you'll definitely end up a heavyweight boss in the future!"
Tsurugi Fubuki looked down at her trash bag—indeed full of potato chip wrappers…
But… that wasn't Naruto's excuse to say it!
Tsurugi Fubuki angrily shouted at Naruto: "Brat! I advise you not to push your luck—this lady will never become fat!"
"Hmph! We'll see!"
Naruto slowly shook his head: "No need to wait and see—I've already foreseen your future. You'll be just like future Anko."
"And I'm moving soon anyway—never have to see you again. That's really great!"
Though living next to a legal loli was a wonderful thing.
Unfortunately, Naruto was already very satisfied with his current life. In the future, marrying Sakyo and Hinata and having a few kids—no more needs. These idle flowers and weeds could be left for others to pick.
Tsurugi Fubuki heard Naruto's words and suddenly asked: "Oh? You're moving?"
Naruto found it strange she asked that, so he nodded: "Didn't you hear the Third Hokage? I can inherit my original family property."
Tsurugi Fubuki instantly got excited: "So… that means you're rich?"
Naruto: "…"
"Uh… probably… you could say that… I guess?"
Slap~
Tsurugi Fubuki dropped her trash bag and slowly walked toward Naruto with a shallow smile: "Hehe~ Little handsome guy~"
"Since we've known each other for so long, can you lend me some money?"
Borrowing money wasn't embarrassing.
Though Tsurugi Fubuki could earn money herself for potato chips, that took time. Tonight she wanted to see five bags of chips lying on her bed! That would be bliss!
"Good grief… you just called me a little pervert!"
Naruto felt disdain for Tsurugi Fubuki's attitude change: "Truly shameless!"
Tsurugi Fubuki giggled: "So will you lend it or not? I can pay interest."
Naruto didn't care much about this kind of thing. Since Tsurugi Fubuki said so, he planned to lend her some.
No need to think—he knew she was going to buy snacks.
Naruto asked Tsurugi Fubuki: "How much do you need?"
Tsurugi Fubuki: "How much do you have?"
Naruto: "Good grief! You really aren't polite at all!"
