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

Chapter 18 Night Talk

Soon, most of the day had passed.

The carriage stopped in a town, and San Taifu glanced at the sky and decided to stay in the town for the night.

Naruto got out of the car and curiously looked around at everything.

Passengers and caravans come and go, taverns and restaurants line the roadside, and in the distance, you can see rows of flashing neon signs.

Judging from the eager looks in the two rickshaw drivers' eyes, it wasn't hard to guess what kind of place it was...

San Taifu booked several rooms at the hot spring inn in town, one room for each of the three men, and one room for the two coachmen.

"We haven't asked yet, where are we going?"

"The City of Fire!"

During dinner time, in the hot spring room, Naruto enjoyed the hotel's luxurious seafood feast while chatting with Santayu.

Feng Hua Xiao Xue sat beside San Tai Fu, eating her meal in silence.

Have you heard of the recently popular movie, "Princess of the Storm"?

Santayu smiled proudly: "Yuki is the female lead! Because the first season was very well received, the investors plan to strike while the iron is hot and start filming the second season."

"Hmm, that sounds like a lot of work..."

Naruto wasn't very interested in movies, mainly because they were troublesome.

Unlike singing, filming a movie takes at least several months, during which various unexpected events may occur. Even a small problem can delay the entire crew's schedule, making it very troublesome.

"Want to give it a try?"

Santayu looked at Naruto expectantly: "Naruto-kun, I have very high expectations for you! With your abilities, you can definitely juggle both being an actor and a singer!"

"You really don't need to think so highly of me..."

Naruto waved his hand with a smile, saying he could sing a song if asked.

Asking him to act would be so cringeworthy it could fill an entire Uchiha clan territory…

His personality is the type that's all over the internet with wild and provocative language, but in real life he's rather quiet and reserved.

She's incredibly flirtatious and cheeky in front of friends, but the moment a stranger is around, she becomes completely expressionless...

If I had to say, the camera itself isn't scary, but the various gazes behind the camera are.

Putting aside his own discomfort, what if they filmed a passionate scene and ended up standing in front of so many people? Naruto felt he could really discuss the possibility of the Infinite Tsukuyomi with Black Zetsu…

Perhaps because of Naruto's arrival, Santayu was in a good mood.

He drank two cups of sake at dinner, and afterwards enthusiastically took Naruto to soak in a hot spring.

When Naruto was sleeping at night, he could still faintly hear snoring coming from next door.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell on Naruto's face. He looked up at the star-studded night sky, feeling the strong beating of his heart in his chest, and felt a strange sense of comfort.

Naruto got up, opened the window, and lightly leaped high into the air, easily grabbing the eaves.

Just as he was about to turn over, he suddenly felt a gaze on him. Having been monitored for years, he couldn't be mistaken.

So he followed that feeling and lowered his head, his gaze meeting a pair of beautiful, icy blue eyes.

It is wind, flowers, and light snow.

The girl's brows were furrowed with a deep sorrow, her long, black hair flowing freely. She leaned against the windowsill, looking at Naruto in surprise.

"Are you a ninja?"

"I am not."

Naruto shook his head, loosened his grip, and planted his feet firmly on the wall: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I can't sleep."

Fuuka Koyuki shook her head and looked at Naruto's feet, which were firmly planted on the wall: "But you clearly know chakra."

Naruto argued vehemently, "If I don't practice ninjutsu, I'm not a ninja, and I haven't registered as one, so I can only be considered a civilian."

"I see..."

Fuuka Koyuki, resting her chin on her hand, looked at Naruto with some curiosity: "So...where are you going?"

"Want to join me for stargazing on the rooftop?"

"it is good."

Children are always fascinated by things like climbing on roofs and removing tiles. Feng Hua Xiaoxue is only ten years old, so she agreed almost without hesitation.

The next second, Naruto pulled her out of the window. Before she could even scream, she was on the roof in a dizzying spin.

Still somewhat shaken, Fuuka Koyuki patted her chest and looked at Naruto, only to find that he had already lay down with his head on his arm.

"You rude brat!"

"Stop complaining, don't waste your time..."

Naruto crossed his legs, looking relaxed and carefree. His golden hair swayed gently in the night breeze, and the stars shone in his azure eyes. A gentle smile graced his handsome face.

Upon seeing this, the girl stared blankly for a couple of seconds before reacting. She shook her head, gently patted her slightly flushed cheeks, and then sat down to the side.

"You...don't like Konoha?"

"Um."

"I've heard that Konoha is the most prosperous ninja village in the ninja world."

"But I don't like it."

"I see..."

Feng Hua Xiaoxue rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

"So you're not planning to go back?"

"It depends on my mood."

Naruto glanced at Koyuki Fuuka: "You seem... to be seeking validation?"

"I don't!"

The girl gave a soft reproach, her face slightly flushed.

"It's okay if it's there. It's shameful to run away, but it's definitely useful."

Naruto spoke casually, while Kazaka Koyuki blushed even more. She hated perceptive guys!

With a soft snort, the girl turned her head away angrily, seemingly lost in thought.

After a while, seemingly unable to bear the quiet atmosphere, she turned her head again and looked at Naruto hopefully.

Does it really work?

"Not necessarily, it depends on the situation."

Naruto helplessly shrugged: "Those major troubles that plague a person's entire life often come knocking on their door. You can escape them for a while, but you can't escape them forever."

Upon hearing this, Feng Hua Xiaoxue's face turned slightly pale.

Seemingly thinking of something that terrified her, she hugged her legs and curled up into a pitiful little shape, her delicate pink and white feet also tightly curled up.

"What would you do if Konoha wanted to capture you and take you back one day?"

"They're going to take me back right now."

"???"

Fuuka Koyuki was taken aback: "You're a rogue ninja? No, you're not a ninja, so why did they capture you?"

Naruto carefully considered and pondered the matter, and finally realized that he really didn't know how to talk to the girl in front of him.

"Because I'm very strong."

"boast!"

Fuuka Koyuki rolled her eyes; she felt that Naruto must have sneaked out.

"And what about you? You've asked so many questions, shouldn't you tell us about yourself?"

"There's not much to say."

The girl gave a light snort, stood up, and said with an arrogant expression, "I'm going downstairs. Take me down!"

"What a hassle, we've only just gotten up here..."

Naruto sat up, slowly walked over to Feng Hua Xiaoxue, and scooped her up in a princess carry.

Then, in a flash, he returned to the window of the other person's room.

She jumped into the room through the window, her face flushed slightly. She turned to look at Naruto, and then called out to him as he turned away.

"I hate snow!"

"understood."

Naruto didn't even turn his head.

Inside the room, Feng Hua Xiaoxue stomped her feet, gritting her teeth.

What an annoying guy!
