Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

After packing their belongings for the trip to the Fire Capital, Tsunade and Naruto, along with Shizune, left the Senju Clan's old residence.

They walked along Konoha's bustling main street, heading towards the village's main gate.

The core areas of Konoha are protected by a village-wide barrier that allows the Anbu to detect intruders, their approximate chakra levels, and their strength.

Therefore, the closer one is to the village center, the safer it is. This is one of the reasons why the Uchiha clan strongly resisted being forced to relocate to the village's outskirts.

Tsunade's delicate, pretty face held a meaningful expression as she looked at her two disciples, Shizune and Naruto, beside her.

"Shizune, I didn't expect you to even spare Naruto!"

As she spoke, she smacked her red lips and made a 'tsk, tsk' sound, her tone full of teasing.

Shizune, who had been following Tsunade closely like a little secretary, her head lowered, suddenly blushed on her pure and quiet face. She quickly glanced at Naruto and then retorted.

"Tsunade-sama, what are you saying!"

"Naruto-kun is still so young! Please don't say such strange things in front of Naruto!"

"Hahaha!" Tsunade raised her snow-white chin, emitting a hearty and triumphant laugh, and ruffled Naruto's head.

"I didn't realize you were such a perverted little brat!"

"You can't act like you do with Shizune when you're around other female classmates at the Ninja Academy, okay!"

Naruto's lips twitched as he watched Tsunade tease him.

You act like a female hooligan in front of me anyway, not much better than Shizune!

Before Naruto could speak, Shizune quickly interrupted and changed the subject, "Tsunade-sama, did you get the Hokage to approve the village exit permit?"

Konoha ninjas need to obtain a village exit permit personally approved by the Hokage to carry out missions outside the village. Otherwise, leaving the village without permission will be regarded as treason.

Tsunade's expression faltered, then she raised her head and waved her hand with proud and domineering air.

"I don't need one! Surely the village gatekeepers won't stop me, Tsunade, from leaving the village just because I don't have the old man's permit?"

Naruto muttered inwardly, as expected, this other world can't escape it either.

Rules always bind those below. Someone like Tsunade, a high-ranking Konoha official, doesn't need to follow the rules at all.

Seeing this, Shizune put her hands on her hips and said,

"Tsunade-sama!"

"This is Naruto-kun's first mission outside the village. We need to set a good example for him! We must go and get the Hokage's approval!" Then, dissatisfied, she prepared to pull Tsunade towards the Hokage Building.

At this moment, a loud argument came from not far down the street.

A stout man dressed like a shopkeeper, whom Naruto recognized, was being pulled and tugged at by a young woman with a sallow complexion and shabby clothes, looking miserable and pleading.

The noisy voices vaguely revealed something about overdue wages or something similar.

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

Although Konoha is already a relatively prosperous and wealthy town in the ninja world, most villagers can only barely make ends meet.

Although ninja missions are risky and difficult, the pay is still considered considerable.

However, in the Boruto series, Sasuke and Sakura, who saved the ninja world, still have to worry about their Konoha mortgage...

Places like the Rain Country and Wave Country villages are plagued by various pirates, bandits, and incessant wars between major powers, and even internal aristocratic merchants exploit them with miscellaneous taxes.

It can truly be said that bones are exposed on the roads, and there is no sound of chickens crowing for miles.

Tsunade and Shizune, who were strong and had keen hearing, naturally noticed the two people arguing not far away.

Tsunade furrowed her willow eyebrows slightly, but didn't react much.

On the other hand, Shizune's pure face faintly showed intolerance, and she couldn't help but peek over from time to time as they passed nearby.

Naruto secretly speculated about Tsunade's indifferent reaction.

Tsunade had experienced many miserable scenes in the Rain Country, a war-torn area, during the Second and Third Ninja Wars in her early years, and her emotions had become much weaker after the death of her relatives...

He respectfully presented a thick stack of silver notes.

"This young master! Please be merciful and ask those Uchiha from the Police Force to forgive me this once!"

"Otherwise, I really won't be able to keep my small business running in the village!"

Listening to the other party's inexplicable words, Naruto raised an eyebrow and suddenly realized.

This person was the shop owner who wanted to drive him away when he met Ino back then.

The Police Force forgive him this once? Being targeted by the Police Force, this urban management agency?

Naruto's heart stirred. This should be because he mentioned it to Uchiha Tekka before, and he helped clean up this guy!

For Naruto, this little brat? Seeing the colorful, thick stack of silver notes, Tsunade roughly estimated that there were close to a million taels of silver!

Her brown eyes suddenly flashed with a fiery light, and a smile appeared on her face. She didn't have any money to visit the casino when she went to the Fire Country's capital this time!

Just as she was about to take it, Shizune quickly stopped her and asked the fat boss cautiously,

"What is your relationship with that woman? And why are you giving Naruto this money?"

Naruto glanced at Shizune and thought to himself, Shizune is much more reliable than Tsunade, that money-grubbing woman.

Hearing this, the shop owner's shrewd eyes darted around, then his fat face covered in horizontal lines of fat collapsed, and he sighed sadly, saying,

"Alas, it's just that I had some misunderstandings with this young master before, and as a result, I offended those people from the village's Police Force who have a good relationship with this little brother."

"I'm being inspected and fined by the Police Force every few days, and my small business is about to fail..."

The stout shop owner saw that Tsunade's eyes were the most eager as she stared at the money notes, and she seemed the easiest to persuade, so he quickly explained to Tsunade in a rambling manner.

"That woman was a former employee in my shop, and naturally, I couldn't pay her wages... I hope you adults will forgive my previous offense for the sake of these compensation silver!"

"Please don't let the Police Force come to my shop again..."

Although the other party spoke euphemistically, Tsunade was, after all, the legendary Sannin who had dominated the ninja world before. Naturally, she could see that the other party's words were vague and concealing something.

I'm afraid it's not just a simple misunderstanding with this little brat Naruto...

After all, this little brat Naruto is quite approachable, and coupled with the fact that Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned her back before because of the conflict between the Jinchuriki and the village...

Tsunade's delicate and pretty face changed, and the fiery light in her eyes that had been staring at the thick stack of silver in the fat boss's hand suddenly turned cold.
