Naruto: If I let you be Naruto, you will become yellow-haired?

Chapter 2 Our Konoha is thriving

The obese boss fell to the ground in shame. When he thought about being forced by a little girl by the collar, a surge of anger and rage rushed into his head.

He was beaten by a little devil! His originally fleshy face became distorted.

"Get out of here right now and apologize!"

"Otherwise, I will have those Uchiha from the Konoha Police Department arrest you all..."

"Don't come crying and begging for mercy!"

When she heard the word Uchiha, Yamanaka Ino, who originally looked like a heroic big sister, changed her expression and her waving fist froze in mid-air.

It's no wonder that Yamanaka Ino felt like she was facing a formidable enemy when she heard the name of Uchiha. The police department headed by Uchiha was inhumane and had harsh punishments, which caused widespread resentment in the village.

Especially since Ino was a member of the ninja clan and the eldest daughter of the Yamanaka family, she took the initiative to beat up civilians in the village. If the news got out, it would probably have a significant impact on the reputation of the Yamanaka family.

Seeing the aggressive girl hesitated for a moment, her pretty face became obviously worried.
A hint of satisfaction crossed the shop owner's face, which was originally torn by pain and panic, and a hint of joy flashed in his cunning eyes.

Are you scared by bringing up the Uchiha name?

Damn you little brat! If you don’t kneel down and beg for mercy...

Before the thought of revenge in my heart could spread, inexplicable fear, coldness, and evil thoughts swept over from my tailbone.

It traveled along his spine and instantly spread to his entire body and limbs. It was as if all thoughts in his mind were cleared out, leaving only a feeling of fear.

Naruto took a few steps towards him, and an invisible and powerful force emanated from his body, but at the same time, it attacked the boss who fell to the ground in front of him with an overwhelming force.

Suddenly, sweat broke out all over his body. The boss threatened with a hoarse gritted teeth, "I will call the Uchiha Society to deal with it..."

Naruto gave him a cold look and said nothing.

Suddenly, the ominous and dangerous aura became more violent and ferocious.

Extreme fear and panic overwhelmed all senses.

The boss's facial features were distorted in pain, and even his hands were folded and rotated in an extremely unscientific and unreasonable way.

The throat seemed to be clamped tightly by a large transparent hand, and the hairs on the body stood on end.

"I'm...I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"Can just an apology solve everything?"

The boss broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took out a large stack of money from his pocket, kneeling down with a look of fear and trepidation.

"I'm so sorry, please forgive my rudeness just now!"

Naruto nodded without comment and took the money. Is he afraid of power but not virtue?

"That's how you should apologize."

The ominous and terrifying effect of the Nine-Tails' Chakra does have a miraculous effect on intimidating ordinary people like this, but it is estimated that it can only affect the level of Chunin at most.

Then he took Ino's hand, who was watching all this in a daze, and walked out of the shop.

……

Outside the shop, a chubby little boy was grabbed by a listless little boy with a pineapple haircut.

"Shikamaru! What are you doing? Why don't you let me help Ino? That boss is so abominable!"

The little fat boy Shikamaru huffed and stared at his companions with dissatisfaction.

Shikamaru glanced at Ino who was helping Naruto not far away with his dead fish eyes, with a helpless look on his face and his mind in turmoil.

That child must be closely related to the demon fox that destroyed Konoha a few years ago.

If we rashly get involved in this, it might bring trouble to our Zhu Lu Die family.

It's best to stay away from such troubles.

It's a pity that I couldn't persuade Ino...

But it was not easy to tell this to his friends directly, so he could only perfunctorily say: "Look, isn't it solved with Ino going? There's no need for you to go too."

Still feeling depressed, Choji grabbed another handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth.

Ino blinked in confusion when she saw the boss, who had been cursing and threatening her before, suddenly prayed humbly for compensation.

Naruto stretched out his little hand to grab her, and a trace of shame and anger flashed through his mind. This guy turned out to be a lustful and evil little devil. I'm not going to be ruthless...

She said in a bad tone,

"You guy..."

Then his gaze fell on Naruto's face.

Ino's pink lips moved slightly, and her beautiful green eyes seemed to be glued to Naruto's face.

A blush appeared on her cute fair little face, and she swallowed unconsciously.

"Hello, my name is Yamanaka Ino, your name is..."

"Uzumaki Naruto"

"Thank you so much for your help this time, Yamanaka-san."

Naruto thanked him sincerely. He had been traveling to Konoha for several years, and apart from some kindness from the Third Hokage, he had never received any kindness or help from anyone.

There was only endless insults, scolding and exclusion.

This was the first time he had encountered someone like Ino who took the initiative to help him in public.

Ino's innocent little hands unnaturally smoothed the hair around her ears, and her originally white and tender ears turned bright red.

"No...you're welcome."

"Let's be friends from now on. Just call me Ino, Naruto-kun."

This little girl is definitely a beauty fan in the original novel, and of course he himself is too. Who doesn’t like a pretty and well-behaved girl?
However, the handsome little boy may be a unique buff for the Japanese people, who love the "little boy" falling from the sky.

The current Naruto is not like the sloppy and mischievous orphan prince in the original novel. In addition, due to the previous house arrest and the lack of sunlight for several years, his skin has become slightly whiter and tenderer, and he looks well-behaved and heroic, quite like the beautiful Uzumaki Kushina when she was a child.

"Naruto, where do you live? Do you want me and my friends to take you home? We can also avoid those annoying people."

Ino pointed at Choji and Shikamaru not far away. Choji looked happy when he saw Ino's actions, and waved his hand quickly with potato chips. Shikamaru on the side looked a little hesitant, and nodded to Naruto hesitantly.

Naruto noticed Shikamaru's hesitation. As expected of Konoha's think tank, the Nara clan, even at such a young age, had already realized the complex relationship between himself as a Jinchūriki and the village, and had learned to avoid suspicion.

Naruto shook his head in denial, "Never mind, maybe next time."

Ino's little face, which had originally turned red due to excitement, suddenly drooped visibly, and her whole body became listless.

Watching Naruto's back as he left, Ino felt the remaining sensation on her hand, and her face suddenly turned red again.
"I didn't leave a bad impression on Naruto-kun that I'm a violent big sister, did I?"

When she thought of this, Ino covered her blushing face and couldn't help stomping her feet in embarrassment.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in his chair, monitoring the image in the crystal ball in front of him.

Seeing Naruto being hated and excluded by the villagers, he felt heartbroken and worried.

Of course, his worry and concern did not mean that he really wanted to intervene to help Naruto, announce that Naruto was the son of the fourth generation hero, and clarify the outrageous rumor that Naruto was not a demon fox.

We can only hope that this little guy Naruto can inherit Minato's personality and become the sun of the ninja world, cheerful and sunny.

Thinking back to when I was appointed as the successor to the position of Hokage by Tobirama Sensei,

For so many years, I have been walking on thin ice and working diligently.

Konoha won the Second and Third World Wars in succession, and became known as the Ninja Hero, which made it a powerful force among all the ninja villages.

The village was thriving at that time.
