Naruto: I, Naruto, don't want to try anymore.

Chapter 110

The next day…

Naruto walked on the streets of the Fire City once again.

Unlike the day before, today he was accompanied by a girl with pink hair.

The girl wore a small hat and a beige dress, with a thick shimenawa rope tied around her waist, very much in Orochimaru's style.

"Why does Orochimaru like shimenawa so much?"

"Probably because it's considered prestigious..."

Shimenawa (a type of shrine rope) has a noble and solemn meaning and is usually found in temples and shrines. Wearing it around the waist like this is indeed quite rare.

Tayuya never cared about such things. For someone like her who was struggling to survive, having clothes to wear was already a blessing.

She doesn't understand aesthetics or fashion; living and becoming stronger are her only goals.

Naruto picked out a loose-fitting off-white hoodie for her.

They changed her lower body into a pair of black shorts and a pair of high-top ninja boots, and removed the round hat from her head.

After changing her clothes, Tayuya, who originally looked quite aggressive, suddenly became much more fashionable.

Standing in front of the mirror, Tayuya fidgeted with her clothes somewhat awkwardly.

The girl in the mirror looked fashionable and pretty, but it didn't deviate from her usual style. The sudden change in her attire made her feel a little awkward.

"Thank you, sir..."

Tayuya's voice was sarcastic.

Naruto stood behind her, gently placing his hands on the girl's shoulders, and Tayuya's body immediately tensed up.

Do you like it?

"Um…"

I'm talking about myself.

"..."

Tayuya kept her head down, her pretty face gradually turning red.

If it were anyone else, she would have already started fighting by now!

Having grown up under Orochimaru's tutelage, over the years, let alone teasing anyone, even those who dared to approach her would be met with a barrage of insults and driven away.

Behind the two, the clothing store owner rubbed his hands together, looking on with an expression of amazement.

Just yesterday, he personally witnessed Naruto appear here with a blonde woman with a fan.

In just one day, this guy has a different girl by his side!

Scumbag!

But as much as he's a jerk, he'd never point it out to his face.

What if they bring other girls with them later?

Moreover, he also needs to achieve sales targets, so he can't do anything that offends clients.

Leaving the clothing store, Naruto looked at Tayuya, who had undergone a complete makeover, and was very satisfied.

"Aside from his clothing and appearance, Orochimaru does have a very discerning eye."

Naruto remembered that when he watched Naruto before his transmigration, Kabuto said that to become Orochimaru's reincarnation vessel, one needed not only strength and talent, but also good looks.

In other words, Orochimaru is a sucker for good looks!

Orochimaru's fascination with Sasuke's body is probably partly due to his good looks.

Tayuya, in terms of both strength and appearance, is considered one of the best among Orochimaru's subordinates.

Naruto had no intention of pretending to be a gentleman; he figured he might as well take advantage of the opportunity.

However, he can eat slowly and respectfully, allowing the food to willingly come into his bowl.

Leaving the clothing store, Naruto walked leisurely down the street.

"What would you like to eat for lunch?"

"I'm fine with whatever."

Tayuya spoke respectfully.

"Is there anything you like to eat?"

"without…"

The girl shook her head; she really wasn't picky about food.

"Nothing you're particularly looking forward to? Hot pot, barbecue? If it were your birthday, where would you like to go?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't know my own birthday."

Tayuya spoke calmly; she was an orphan.

"I see..."

Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Then today is your birthday. Remind me every year from now on."

Tayu was a little flustered; she hadn't expected Naruto to say that.

She actually knew her birthday, February 15th, but she had never cared about it, and no one else cared either.

"Yes."

Tayuya nodded slightly, a strange joy welling up inside her.

But similarly, she also felt an unknown fear towards Naruto.

After all, she was given to Naruto as a gift, and she understood Orochimaru's intentions very well.

She was nothing more than a plaything, like the concubines of nobles.

Therefore, she was unsure whether Naruto's behavior was a joke or had ulterior motives.

Tayu didn't dare to have too high expectations, nor did she dare to easily reveal her true feelings. She could only convince herself to accept all of Naruto's actions, whether they were excessive or gentle.

Surprisingly, Naruto didn't do anything excessive.

I just took her out for a day, or rather, celebrated her birthday for a day.

Regardless, Tayuya felt a little relieved.

Although she had mentally prepared herself, she was still a girl, so she still felt a little awkward.

While feeling awkward, a strange ripple also stirred in her heart.

The ease she felt under Orochimaru's command made her somewhat unsettled, and she couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's schedule.

The next morning, Naruto was nowhere to be found.

Where is Naruto-sama?

When Tayuya woke up early in the morning and found that Naruto was nowhere to be seen, she felt inexplicably empty inside.

Karin pouted unhappily: "Tsk, you expect the adults to fawn over you all the time?"

"Where did the adults go?"

Tayuya asked curtly, though she didn't really like Karin, even though their hair colors were similar.

The other person reminded her of a character she was playing, from their rude personality to their hair color…

"Of course he went on dates with other girls."

Karin snorted. Ino had come looking for her early this morning.

Without saying a word, Naruto took Ino and left Konoha.

It's still the same city of fire, the same bustling streets, and the same clothing store owner.

The clothing store owner fell into deep thought as he watched Naruto with a different girl around him for three days in a row.

No, are you rushing from one event to another?

Noticing the boss's shocked gaze, Naruto smiled slightly.

What is a time management master?

Meanwhile, at a foreign hotel.

Temari, dressed in a black cheongsam and holding an iron fan, gazed absently at the sky outside the window.

Inside the room, Kankuro and Gaara tacitly remained silent.

Their older sister has been in a low mood since yesterday, and even Gaara, who is usually very independent, has sensed something unusual about her.

"What... happened to Temari?"

Gaara looked at Kankuro with clear, bright eyes.

"Um, this..."

Kankuro's forehead was covered in sweat.

Of course he could see Temari's change; anyone with eyes could tell something from her eye-catching cheongsam and stockings.

However, since returning the day before yesterday, Temari dressed up carefully early yesterday morning, then rested her chin on her hand and looked out the window, striking a pose as if waiting for something.

A faint smile would occasionally appear on her face, or she would sigh with melancholy.

Then, as time went on, she became increasingly anxious, and finally, in a fit of anger, she removed her makeup and went to sleep.

Kankuro glanced cautiously in his older sister's direction and lowered his voice.

"This is love..."

I'll only post one update today. I didn't quite get the plot right and deleted a lot of stuff, sob sob... The main storyline is about to move forward, so don't worry everyone!
