Naruto: I don't want to work hard anymore

Chapter 20: Heart disease requires heart medicine

After finding an izakaya, the two of them walked into the store openly and were arranged by the clerk to sit in a private room with tatami.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Fruit juice and beer, both should be cold, grilled chicken skewers..."

Naruto picked up the menu and ordered some food and drinks that didn't look like bad choices.

Because of the presence of 'adult' Naruto, Fenghua Xiaoxue did not attract anyone's attention.

Soon, the waiter brought the drinks, placing the beer next to Naruto and the juice in front of Fuuka Koyuki.

Not until all the dishes were served did the two look at each other and silently exchanged beer and juice.

The girl opened a can of beer, took a sip, and stuck out her tongue.

“Not good…”

“It’s strange that it tastes good.”

Fenghua Xiaoxue's reaction was not unexpected to Naruto.

"You talk as if you've drunk it..."

Fenghua Xiaoxue curled her lips, feeling that she was being looked down upon.

I did drink it, but it was in my previous life...

Naruto didn't argue with her, he just picked up a skewer of chicken and started eating it.

How about the taste?

It tastes pretty good, salty and a little sweet. It might be better with some chili.

The same goes for other food. The fried tempura has no taste and is not as delicious as the one made by Ino's mother.

As for whether it was a bit excessive to eat a meal paid for by one girl while thinking about another girl, Naruto had never considered it at all.

Fenghua Xiaoxue didn't have a big appetite, so she just ate a few mouthfuls and stopped eating. She supported her chin with her hand and watched Naruto eat.

"Come to think of it, why don't you like Konoha? With your looks, you should be very popular, right?"

Fenghua Xiaoxue suddenly spoke, her eyes full of curiosity.

"In fact, it's quite the opposite..."

Naruto's mouth was full of food, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, "It's no exaggeration to say that I have a reputation for stopping crying children."

"Did you do something?"

"Maybe it's because he's handsome? After all, handsome men are rare in the world, so it's inevitable that people will be jealous of him."

Fenghua Xiaoxue rolled her eyes. This guy had a mouth that wasted his time.

Although she was unhappy with Naruto's smooth-talking attitude, she became more and more curious.

The profession of ninja is very mysterious to most civilians, but Fenghua Xiaoxue is born a princess after all, and she also needs to understand some basic knowledge about ninjas when filming, so she has some basic knowledge.

She didn't know how strong Naruto was, but she thought that since he could use ninjutsu at this age, his talent must be good.

She is good-looking and talented, so why is she unpopular?
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a commotion outside the door, and three Konoha ninjas walked into the store, talking and laughing.

The three of them were all wearing the same uniform, with a dark blue lining, a green Chunin vest on the outside, and a forehead protector with the Konoha emblem on their heads.

"It's a ninja from Konoha..."

Fenghua Xiaoxue hurriedly reminded Naruto who had his back to them.

Naruto said "oh" without even turning his head.

Fenghua Xiaoxue was a little nervous: "Aren't you worried?"

Naruto looked calm: "If anyone should be worried, it should be them. You may also need to worry, but in any case, I definitely don't need to worry."

"why?"

"Because even if they find me, they can't do anything to me, and if I get angry, they will all die, and then you will become an accomplice."

Fenghua Xiaoxue rolled her eyes. She realized that this guy never told the truth.

After all, in the normal people's cognition, no matter how talented a five-year-old child is, he can never be a match for three adult ninjas.

Three Konoha ninjas sat next to the two men, ordered the dishes with ease, and seemed to come to this restaurant often.

As soon as the wine was served, the three of them started chatting while holding their glasses. "It's been a long time since I came to the Fire City. It's really as lively as ever..."

"The last time I came here was half a year ago. I remember it was the mission to the Land of Grass, right?"

"Well... the nobles in the country don't usually have anything important to do. At most they have some escort missions, or they walk their dogs and look for their cats..."

"Really! Now that I think about it, our place is really peaceful, haha..."

“Who knows after a while…”

"How to say?"

"Idiot, have you forgotten your mission this time? Find clues about that child..."

"Ah, that demon... Naruto..."

When this name was mentioned, the three of them lowered their voices unconsciously, but Fenghua Xiaoxue still keenly noticed Naruto's name.

She looked at Naruto and found him to be indifferent.

Seeing this, Fuuka Koyuki tiptoed over to Naruto's side, hoping to hear the conversation between the three more clearly.

Naruto glanced at her and the girl turned her head away pretending to be calm.

"I never thought that the little ghost that everyone has called a fox for three years would actually be..."

"Hey!"

"Um, sorry sorry..."

The ninja patted his head and smiled awkwardly.

Fenghua Xiaoxue, who was standing by, was so anxious that she almost jumped up and hit him on the head!

What could it be?
You finally finished talking!!!
"It's just a search for clues. He's still a kid. Isn't it a bit too much of a fuss? So many people have been sent out, and conflicts are strictly prohibited..."

"Don't forget the one on him..."

"Well... in the end it's just the top management who did something wrong, but we are the ones who are suffering."

"That's right, and there's no way to find him. I heard that the kid has already learned Flying Thunder God, which is the famous skill of the Fourth Hokage."

Fenghua Xiaoxue was silent. From the vague conversation, she could judge some useful information.

Naruto did run away, and Konoha was indeed searching for clues about him.

Naruto's identity is also very special, and it is related to something, and that thing is on him. In addition, there should be another identity...

His identity is really a mystery. I didn't expect that the little kid I met by chance on the street would have such a mysterious background.

Fuuka Koyuki returned to her seat and stared at Naruto in deep thought.

You escaped, too...

Then I guess you should be able to understand me, right?

Recalling the night when she fled from her homeland in a panic, Fenghua Xiaoxue's eyes darkened.

The shadow cast by the raging wind and waves was so deep that she could not muster up the slightest desire to fight back. There was only one word in her mind: escape!
Escape far away, to a place where no one knows you.

The Snow Country and the like don’t matter anymore!

I… just want to survive.

"You seem to have gained this strange resonance from nowhere?"

Naruto, who had been eating frantically, suddenly raised his eyelids: "Hatred, sadness, fear, the taste of your emotions has affected the food."

Fenghua Xiaoxue lowered her head gloomily, caught in internal friction: "It's none of your business..."

Seeing this, Naruto shook his head slightly and said no more.

Inner trauma cannot be healed with just a few words, as can be seen from Fenghua Xiaoxue's fearful attitude towards Fenghua Nutao in the original work.

She firmly believed that Fenghua Nutao was the strongest, powerful enough to be invincible, and that he was not someone that could be defeated by simply showing off your strength.

Heart disease needs heart medicine...

Unable to shake off his cowardice in his heart, even if Naruto helped her a thousand times, it would be the same as not helping her at all.
