Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
Just as Naruto was tidying up, a knock came from the door.
He walked over and opened the door, seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi holding a basket of fruit, a pipe in his mouth, smiling at him.
Behind him, the dim light shone, and mosquitoes flew, forming a strange black circle.
Naruto's mouth twitched, and he took the fruit from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand with a cheeky smile, making way for him: "Welcome, please come in!"
His posture and actions were no different from a beautiful woman soliciting customers at a hotel.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned: "Where did you learn this routine?"
"The bathhouse, I saw them all doing it that way." Naruto said innocently: "When they did that, the customers went in very happily."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened.
What's going on? He hadn't noticed it before, but why did Naruto's learning ability seem to be constantly improving today, and he was learning all sorts of strange things?
He imagined that if Naruto were to meet the Nine-Tailed in the future, he might just tear open the seal and say with a smile: "Welcome, please come in!"
Konoha Village shattered into pieces in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.
With a shiver, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was dark, and he barely managed to suppress his displeasure, forcing a smile as he walked in.
As soon as he entered, he was surprised to find that the room was much cleaner and emptier today.
Only then did he notice the garbage bag placed behind the door.
He looked at Naruto in surprise, as if looking at a rare animal: "Rare, you actually know how to clean up so well."
"Whew!"
"Finally, something good, though I don't know where he learned it, it must be praised."
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long breath, sat down with Naruto, explained his handling of Ebisu to Naruto, and then, as usual, launched into a Fire Will indoctrination session.
Finally, as he was about to leave, Hiruzen Sarutobistroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Naruto, what is your dream?"
"My dream is to become Hokage."
Naruto's eyes sparkled, and he waved his fist, saying fiercely: "Then I'll make that barbecue restaurant work for me, specifically to make me barbecue."
Huh!?
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly waved his hand: "That won't do. The Hokage is supposed to protect the villagers. How can you do that?"
"Then why don't they sell me barbecue?"
Naruto wondered: "Isn't it 'you good, me good, everyone good; you bad, me bad, everyone bad'? And they don't give me barbecue now, but when Third Grandpa you go, they welcome you very much."
Naruto counted on his fingers: "So I conclude that as long as I uphold the Fire Will and become Hokage, I can go eat barbecue."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a long time.
He quietly got up and left.
He was numb!
He needed peace and quiet!
Walking out of the room, he turned his head to look at Naruto, who was diligently tidying the table and starting to organize the room, and after a moment of silence, he spoke faintly: "You, come out."
"Hokage-sama!"
An Anbu Ninja appeared quietly, bowing his head and following Hiruzen Sarutobi's footsteps.
"What did Naruto do today?"
Abnormal, too abnormal.
He needed to sort out what exactly went wrong.
"After coming down from the Hokage Rock, he first went to the bookstore to secretly read books and was kicked out by the bookstore owner, then he went to the bathhouse, tried to enter, was scolded, and was almost beaten.
"Finally, he went to the barbecue restaurant, touching his stomach, wanting to go in and eat barbecue, but ultimately didn't get to eat.
"Finally, he went home dejectedly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath.
Case closed.
Has Naruto encountered these things less often than usual? But why did he not feel anything and was always carefree, but why was it different today?
Ebisu, it's all your fault.
Hiruzen Sarutobi gritted his teeth inwardly and coldly dropped a sentence: "Go, deduct his salary."
...
Bathhouse?
Rectify!
Barbecue restaurant, good riddance!
Over one night, Konoha Village underwent some subtle changes.
Those with well-informed news broke out in a cold sweat, inwardly exclaiming: Uzumaki Naruto, truly terrifying.
With a mere flick of his wrist, in less than a day, Ebisu fell from grace, the highly profitable bathhouse was rectified, and the thriving barbecue restaurant was directly shut down.
"See, our Uchiha Clan is already disliked. Although you and Kushina are close, my decision won't be wrong. Look, isn't this retribution?"
Uchiha Fugaku pointed at the intelligence in his hand, a rare smile appearing on his stern face: "Don't get close, don't curse, don't pay attention, and nothing will happen."
"Yes, yes, you're amazing."
Uchiha Mikoto rolled her eyes at Uchiha Fugaku, saying worriedly: "That child is pitiful, there are few in the entire Village who are truly sincere."
"We can barely protect ourselves. We can't get involved with Uzumaki Naruto, nor can we touch him. Let's just keep things as they are."
...
"We can take over this barbecue restaurant."
"Hmm, don't stop Uzumaki Naruto from eating there in the future."
Akimichi Choza commanded with certainty.
He had long had his eye on this barbecue restaurant. His family of foodies had a hand in many eating establishments in Konoha Village.
He naturally wouldn't let go of the barbecue restaurant.
Not only could it be a thriving business, but his clansmen could also save a lot of money when they ate there. Killing two birds with one stone, how good.
...
"Hehe, such tender, juicy cabbage."
At this moment, Naruto, completely unaware, appeared to be sleeping, but was actually in the space, looking at the various grown vegetables with an uncontainable smile.
This place was too strong; it had only been one day, and they were already ripe and ready to eat.
From tomorrow onwards, he would have a continuous supply of good ingredients, which was a great joy, but unfortunately, he couldn't share it with anyone, which was a bit depressing.
"No, I must make use of it."
"By the way, can this space grow? How does it grow?"
There were still many things he hadn't planted yet.
Rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc. He also wanted to get some fruit trees.
For example, apples, pomegranates, and oranges, all of which he liked to eat. The fruits grown here would definitely be fragrant and sweet.
And eating them could continuously improve his physique.
Over time, he didn't even know how powerful he would become in the future.
"Perhaps it's related to my strength."
"This brings us back to the starting point: refining Chakra and practicing Ninjutsu."
"Ah, annoying!"
Scratching his head, he tidied up the ripe vegetables and placed them aside. With a thought, he exited the space. Naruto lay on the bed, his eyes sparkling, full of energy, unable to sleep at all.
Another person who couldn't sleep like him was Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
After the Nine-Tailed incident, Naruto had almost become a different person. Not only did years of Fire Will indoctrination become futile, but Narutowas also led astray a bit.
"I must correct him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi racked his brains, finally sighing.
No clue!
