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

Chapter 16 Asama's Three Husbands

Chapter 16 Mr. Asama

A while later, 50 kilometers northwest of Konoha, Naruto, carrying a bundle, walked briskly along the official road.

The official road is lined with lush forests, with verdant trees and fragrant grasses.

Naruto whistled, the melodious sound fading away in the distance with the passing breeze.

"Don't try to live so wise, Don't cry coz you're so right~"

"Um?"

Nine-Tails, who was dozing, suddenly raised her head: "What's the name of this song?"

"wind."

Naruto raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching the passing breeze, a gentle smile on his face.

"Wind" is just a translated title; the original name of this song is Wind, which is also the ending theme of the first episode of Naruto.

Because the prototype of this world is neon, the culture is also a mess, with nonsensical Chinese calligraphy and occasional bursts of strangely accented English.

Naruto even asked Ino, and the little girl said that written language has been passed down since ancient times, while English originated from a dialect from the Land of Lightning, and became widely used because it sounded fashionable…

This is absolutely outrageous!

"This song... feels like it suits you perfectly."

As Nine-Tails spoke, she seemed to have thought of something interesting, and chuckled, "Speaking of which, since you like singing so much, why don't you learn a musical instrument and become a traveling performer?"

"Great idea!"

Naruto nodded. His biggest regret was that he couldn't play any musical instruments. So much so that whenever he had a meal with his fellow travelers and the atmosphere was lively, he always felt that something was missing, like a eunuch going to a brothel.

The main reason is laziness. I bought a guitar, learned from it for a couple of days, and then left it at home to gather dust...

Naruto has never been a patient person, but fortunately he now has Shadow Clones, so mastering the skill in three days is definitely not a dream!

Indeed, shadow clones are the strongest cultivation cheat in this world. If the original Prince had realized this sooner, he would have broken Sasuke's arms and legs and brought him back from the Valley of the End the first time...

"Set a small goal: learn ten musical instruments within a year!"

Naruto was in high spirits, perhaps because he was free from the constraints of Konoha and had a rare burst of energy.

Nine-Tailed Fox poured cold water on him: "I'm afraid it'll just be a passing fad."

"You're right, let's round it down to zero then."

Upon hearing this, Naruto quickly calmed down and said, "One is fine."

"..."

Nine-Tails felt its future was bleak; it was truly afraid that when this guy encountered an enemy, he might suggest that they all wait to die because he was too lazy to run away…

"Speaking of which, are you really okay to just leave like this? That little girl named Ino will probably be very sad when she can't find you, right?"

"It's okay."

Naruto gazed at the sky with a wistful look: "If we're meant to be, we'll meet again..."

"But whether we'll be friends or enemies when we meet again is another matter."

Nine-Tailed Fox said sarcastically, "Who knows, maybe from this moment on, I'll train hard and vow to personally kill you, you heartless brat."

"Then let her be."

Naruto didn't seem to care at all. He knew Ino's personality; she wouldn't hold a grudge over something like this.

"So, which way are we going? Do you know the way?"

"How could I possibly recognize him? Konoha was only established for less than two years before I was sealed away!"

Naruto glanced at the sun in the sky. Judging from the direction of the sun, he was heading roughly northwest.

Oh well, let it be...

A traveler without a destination will not get lost.

"Even the sadness of that day, even the pain of that day, I love it all deeply."

"Along with you, the lingering, bittersweet scent of lemon remains in my heart..."

Naruto hummed Kenshi Yonezu's "Lemon" as he slowly passed a fork in the road. Not far from the intersection, two passing carriages suddenly stopped in front of Naruto.

wow——

Suddenly, the curtain on the car window in front was lifted, and a man wearing round glasses and with a small braid poked his head out of the car.

"Hey, little brother!"

The moment the man saw Naruto, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes: "Could you tell me the name of this song?"

"Lemon..."

It's not that Naruto is trying to sound like an English speaker; the Japanese pronunciation of the word "lemon" is basically the same as the English pronunciation, only the intonation is different.

"lemon…"

The man was somewhat surprised: "Could you tell me who the original singer of this song is?"

"I."

Naruto remained unfazed.

So many people have traveled through time and space from Naruto, some copying Ma Kai, some plagiarizing Romance of the Three Kingdoms! And some have even gone so far as to copy Ah Bin…

Well, I, Naruto Uzumaki, am a main character, so it's not too much for me to copy a few songs, right?

"Oh my, that's really unbelievable..."

Seeing Naruto's confident (and shameless) demeanor, the man's face was full of surprise: "Little brother, where are you from? Where are your parents?"

Naruto tugged at the bundle hanging on his shoulder: "I'm an orphan, I'll just go wherever I want."

"An orphan..."

The man sighed softly, glanced at Naruto's delicate little face, and was somewhat tempted: "In that case, would you like to come with me? Of course, I'm not a bad person."

As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to Naruto.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Asama Santayu, a celebrity manager."

San Taifu encouraged him, "To be honest, you have a real talent for being a star. If you can be properly nurtured, you'll definitely become a sensation throughout the Five Great Nations!"

"Asama Santayu... um—"

Naruto, who habitually translates names into Chinese, tilted his head and thought for a while before he remembered, "Isn't this the manager from the Snow Country movie?!"

"Hmph, looks like you have the potential to be a gigolo, huh? Naruto..."

Nine-Tailed Fox teased, "We've barely left the village and we've already been targeted. Why don't we give it a try?"

"it is good."

Naruto nodded to Santayu, and inside the sealed space, Kurama suddenly sat up.

"Hey, you really said yes?"

"What else can we do? We have nowhere to go anyway."

Naruto shrugged: "Being a star, isn't it much more comfortable than grueling hunting? And maybe once your fame spreads, that guy will come knocking on your door himself?"

"Hmph, whatever."

Nine-Tailed Fox went back to its nest; anyway, this kid's enthusiasm only lasts for three minutes at most.

Seeing Kurama's nonchalant attitude, Naruto tilted his head and asked, "So... do you want to come along?"

"Get lost! You're so stupid! I don't want to!"

Nine-Tailed Fox let out a roar, furious and exasperated.

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

I, Kurama, the strongest tailed beast, the embodiment of all hatred in the world, a being that strikes fear into the hearts of countless ninjas, would I go and become a star with you?

It can already picture that scene!

In the future, every time the two encounter a battle, the enemy will ask with a strange look: Are all celebrities this dedicated these days?

What the hell are you expecting it to say?

I was the one who accompanied Madara Uchiha when he danced back then?

You're insane!

Are you kidding me!

They've completely lost face!

I'm putting my words on this now!

Even though I, Kurama, was controlled by the Sharingan and sealed away for ten thousand years, I would never do something so stupid!

Meanwhile, outside, seeing Naruto agree, Asama Santayu looked delighted.

"Oh! That's wonderful! By the way, I haven't asked the little brother your name yet?"

Naruto looked up, his azure eyes gleaming in the sunlight.
