"I really want to cultivate Ninjutsu too."
He idly lay in the space, managing it for Naruto.
Watching Naruto sit beside the sapling, Nine-Tailed asked in confusion, "Are you really going to teach the Ninjutsu you researched?"
"Yes!"
"My Ninjutsu is very special."
Naruto smiled, gently stroking the sapling.
The reason he did this was naturally because one of the sapling's abilities was to teach Ninjutsuwithout any side effects.
But with advantages, there are naturally disadvantages.
This kind of teaching is not much different from imparting power, and as for the disadvantage, there is naturally no room for advancement.
However, if there is someone with exceptional talent, that's another story.
"Oh, by the way, these chickens and ducks should be ready to eat soon."
He changed the subject at light speed.
It hadn't even been a few days, and these chickens and ducks grew incredibly fast, as if they had eaten hormones.
"And those fish, too, I think they're ready to eat."
"Alright."
Naruto's eyes lit up at the words, and he silently calculated, "A new year has arrived, it's a good time to celebrate."
Celebrate the New Year?
Nine-Tailed was bewildered.
What kind of custom is this?
"My custom."
Naruto shook his head; he certainly couldn't calculate when the New Year would be every year.
The lunar calendar and such were not things he could manage.
Now, he could only follow this world's calendar and find an early year to celebrate.
That's all.
"Celebrate the New Year with me."
Naruto killed a fish and a chicken, then pulled Nine-Tailed over.
One person, one Tailed Beast, drinking and singing.
"To my world."
Naruto, with hazy eyes, raised his cup to the moon.
Nine-Tailed didn't understand what was going on with Naruto today, but he knew Naruto wasn't in a very good mood at the moment.
"Is today some important day?"
Nine-Tailed was puzzled.
He was familiar with the Ninja World's festivals, but he had never heard of today being any special day.
But seeing Naruto's sad expression, Nine-Tailedwas tactful enough not to disturb him.
He just silently accompanied him.
"New year, six years old."
"Yes, a six-year-old Hokage has never appeared in Konoha Village."
The next day,
Naruto got up refreshed and strolled along the streets of Konoha Village.
Amiable and harmonious.
Naruto skillfully arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, raised his hand, and greeted the busy girl:
"Ayame Onee-san, long time no see."
"Oh, it's Naruto, congratulations!"
Ayame looked over in surprise, her face filled with joy at seeing Naruto.
"You haven't been here for days. How does it feel to have family by your side?"
Naruto rubbed his nose, smiling but saying nothing.
Playing two roles by himself, it was actually fine, no big problems.
He casually replied, "It's much better, at least I don't have to worry about not being able to buy things."
"Congratulations! The same as usual today?"
"Yes, that's right."
Naruto casually replied.
Teuchi quickly brought out a bowl of ramen.
There was no one else there, and Teuchi looked a bit downcast.
Naruto was startled, and while slurping his ramen, he asked Ayame beside him, "What's wrong with Teuchi-san?"
"Business has gotten worse."
Ayame whispered, "In the past, people from those big families used to come often, but now they only come occasionally. Although they don't say it, we can tell they find it hard to eat."
At this point, Ayame was a bit puzzled, "The taste hasn't changed, and I've noticed that many other food establishments are the same."
Naruto's face stiffened.
He quickly realized something.
"Tsk tsk, it's all your fault."
Nine-Tailed's voice came at just the right time, "The things you gave them taste too good, causing them to be unwilling to settle for less."
After eating something delicious, how could they still eat this?
They only come occasionally for a change of taste.
Naruto coughed, feeling somewhat apologetic inside.
But actually, it wasn't a big problem.
Business hadn't actually decreased much; it was just that those big shots rarely came anymore.
But the problem was that when Konoha Villagedeveloped, he would definitely have to gradually promote the things from his space.
Because he needed to increase his strength.
These were good workhorses, so of course, he had to give them benefits.
And the biggest benefit he gave was these things.
So, impacting the market in the future was an inevitable outcome.
It's just that the entire Ninja World's capacity is here, and he couldn't produce that many things.
The problem was indeed not very big.
But…
Looking at the beautiful Ayame and the kind Teuchiin front of him, Naruto had an idea.
It wasn't time yet, but once he stabilized, he could invest and provide these raw materials.
That way, Teuchi's ramen shop would be hard-pressed not to become popular.
"You are a grateful person."
Hearing Naruto's plan, Nine-Tailed sighed, "If only the Third Hokage and those people hadn't gone crazy, they would all be living well now."
Nine-Tailed could see that drinking too much of the spiritual spring water and eating those spiritual vegetables could prolong life and improve the body.
At the very least, they could live for another ten years.
Look.
What a good opportunity they wasted.
"That's a must. Repay kindness, avenge grudges. One must be principled."
Naruto made up his mind.
"When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. They're really taking off."
"Because of kindness."
"Your words sound like you're insulting someone."
Nine-Tailed's words made Naruto's face darken.
Upon closer thought, those words did seem to have a bit of an insulting meaning.
"Hey, this story is really good."
At this moment,
Someone next to him shook his head, "Mecha, this looks a bit like a puppet. I have to say, Uzumaki Naruto is a good storyteller at such a young age."
"He seems to be telling it to Hyuga Hinata, right?"
"Yeah, mecha, puppets, they sound cool, and the storyline is very exciting."
"It's hard to imagine that this is a story a five-year-old could tell."
"As expected of the Fourth Hokage's son, he's amazing."
"Is there a possibility that the Fourth Hokage told this to Naruto?"
"It seems so, this is a romance exclusive to men."
"I wish I could have a mecha."
"…"
Naruto: "…"
Who spread this story?
Not many people heard this story, right?
Shikamaru!!!
That lazy guy quickly appeared in his mind, and his mouth twitched.
If it was him, then there was no doubt.
Extensive knowledge is an ability that all of the Nara Clan possess.
"A bit awkward."
Nine-Tailed chuckled, "Do you think it's possible that such things will really appear in the Ninja World in the future?"
"Don't even mention it, if it really appears, that would be interesting."
"That would undoubtedly be a revolution."
…
Akatsuki Organization,
Orochimaru secretly snuck into Sasori of the Red Sand's laboratory.
"Orochimaru?"
Sasori of the Red Sand, who was in the middle of his research, looked at Orochimaru in confusion, not understanding why he had suddenly come to his laboratory.
"There's something I think you'll definitely be interested in."
"What?"
Sasori of the Red Sand was puzzled.
He wouldn't visit without a reason, and as a fellow research fanatic, he naturally knew Orochimaru's time was precious.
What could be something he would be very interested in?
Orochimaru leaned in and whispered: …
