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

Seeing that Naruto still didn't react, Tsunade felt even more certain in her guess.

It was likely true that this man had a hand in ostracizing and neglecting Naruto back then.

So, her expression turned cold, and the pale hand that was about to accept the money suddenly retracted.

She turned her head, glared at the portly shop owner in front of her, and coldly shouted,

"Get out of here! We can't interfere with the police department's inspection of your shop, so don't block our way! We have things to do!"

Shizune's pale face froze, and question marks seemed to appear above her head.

Lady Tsunade loved to gamble and had accumulated a lot of debt over the years, so she was usually eager to see money.

Besides, wasn't she just about to take the other party's money?

Why did her attitude suddenly make such a drastic 180-degree turn?!

The portly shop owner's face, which was covered in a flattering smile, was also stunned by Tsunade's sudden scolding.

His expression stiffened and became unsightly.

Damn brat! All I did was tell you to get out of my shop before?! And now you've instigated those crazy Uchiha from the police department to target me like crazy!

And this foul-mouthed, bad-tempered woman in front of me actually told me to get out?!

"Wait!" Naruto stopped the portly shop owner who was about to turn around and leave with an ugly expression.

"I'll take your money, you can go now!"

The shop owner's portly face froze, then the fat on his face trembled, showing a hint of joy after surviving a disaster.

If he continued to be targeted by the Konoha Police Department like this, it would only be a matter of time before his shop went bankrupt!

At that time, he would have nothing to live on! Fortunately, this kid was finally willing to take the money and stop!

Naruto shook his head, smiling. "My taking the money doesn't mean I forgive him."

"This money is just compensation for the mental damage he caused me by bullying me before. I'm not an Uchiha, how could I ask the police department to stop?"

Tsunade was taken aback, then a smile appeared on her face. "You wicked kid!"

"You've got three parts of my cleverness and talent!"

As she spoke, Tsunade naturally took the stack of banknotes from Naruto's hand.

"However, you're still young, so I'll keep this money for you for now! I'll return it to you when you grow up!"

Naruto looked at Tsunade's beautiful amber eyes, which were almost curved into crescent moons with laughter, and complained in his heart.

Isn't this the classic tactic parents use to trick children out of their New Year's money in his previous life?!

After walking for a while, Shizune looked at Naruto considerately.

"Why don't Lady Tsunade and I go to the Hokage Building to get the travel permit."

"Naruto, you can just go to the entrance of Konoha Village and wait for us, so you don't have to walk so far!"

Naruto hesitated for a moment, nodded, and separated from Tsunade and the others.

Looking at the not-so-tall and majestic walls of Konoha Ninja Village in the distance.

Naruto thought to himself.

I wonder if the Chunin guarding the village gate at this time are Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, the two gate gods of Konoha who even made Pain afraid to enter through the main gate.

Suddenly, Naruto stopped and turned his head sharply to look back.

Behind a large tree, a furtive head peeked out.

Hinata's timid eyes met Naruto's gaze.

Her petite body suddenly trembled, startled.

Then, her slightly chubby, pale hands, which were originally clutching the tree trunk, became a little flustered and at a loss.

Naruto chuckled. Hinata was really cute.

Suddenly, he realized that today wasn't the weekend. Hinata should be in ninja school.

He had taken leave because he was accompanying Tsunade on an external mission.

Was Hinata skipping class?

Naruto walked over.

Hinata was small.

She had black, ear-length bangs, and conservative long sleeves and pants that covered almost all of her skin, making her look quiet and well-behaved.

Naruto touched Hinata's head and asked, "Hinata, didn't you go to class?"

Feeling the warm breath from the boy in front of her, Hinata felt her heart pounding non-stop, obviously nervous.

Her milk-puff-like, full and smooth face was flushed red, and even her slender, white neck was tinged with a shy blush.

Hearing his question at this time, Hinata lowered her head a little embarrassed.

The newest and most complete novels are all available on 69shu.com!

Hinata nodded almost imperceptibly. "Yeah!"

A few days ago, knowing that Naruto-kun was going to leave the village for a while, she felt a lot of reluctance in her heart for some reason.

She didn't know why, but she suddenly had unprecedented courage.

Leaving home in the morning, she skipped ninja school for the first time and secretly followed Naruto-kun.

She was afraid that her father would be even more disappointed in her for skipping school…

"Then how did Hinata find me here? Were you outside the Senju residence early in the morning, following me all the time?"

Naruto thought of something and looked at the well-behaved and obedient Hinata in front of him with a strange expression.

Hearing this, Hinata's small face flushed even redder with embarrassment.

Um… she was discovered by Naruto-kun.

Wouldn't Naruto-kun hate me because I like to peek at him…

Hinata couldn't help but feel uneasy at this time.

Naruto looked at Hinata, whose face was flushed with nervousness and who was hanging her head, not daring to look at him at all, and sighed inwardly.

It seemed that he had guessed correctly.

He didn't know what he had done to deserve Hinata, the young lady of the Hyuga clan, liking him so much.

She, who had always been obedient and well-behaved, had actually skipped class for him for the first time…

But he also knew that although Hinata was gentle and shy, and lacked confidence.

But in her heart, she actually had some hidden persistence, just like in the original story when Naruto was pinned to the ground by Pain with black rods, only Hinata bravely stood up.

Hinata also desperately wanted to be recognized by others, especially by her father, Hiashi Hyuga, who had always been strict and didn't like her very much.

It seemed that he had to properly train Hinata when he returned to the village, at least to prevent her from being so timid and shy now, and also to help her realize her long-cherished wish and gain the recognition of others.

Finally, Hinata, whose small face was flushed red, mustered up her courage and looked up at Naruto.

Her small hands held a delicate purse embroidered with patterns, bulging.

But her voice was still as faint as a mosquito's hum.

"Naruto… Naruto-kun…"

"Last time I saw you treat us to ramen, the money… the money didn't seem to be enough… I borrowed it from Ino-kun…"
