Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

While pushing the money, Liao Wu touched Changpu's little hand.

Changpu has been working in the ramen shop and tidying up the equipment for many years. Her hands are slender and well-proportioned, with warm fingertips and light calluses on her palms from years of hard work.

This gentle, down-to-earth charm is a unique quality of ordinary, everyday girls.

Liao Wu wanted to lower his head and kiss it, or let those warm little hands walk along the way.

He became somewhat excited at the thought.

Ayame pushed the extra money back: "Naruto, let's keep things separate. You're still a genin; you'll need money for many things!"

Seeing that Changpu insisted on his principles, Liaowu stopped paying him.

"Sister Ayame, I'll work for you and Uncle Ichiraku tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay! I'll go change my clothes first, then I'll take you shopping!"

"I'm waiting for my sister!"

Soon, Ayame changed into a short, light apricot-colored kimono adorned with delicate light brown floral patterns, and a thin, beige cloth sash tied around her waist.

As soon as she came out, Liao Wu immediately chimed in, "Sister, you're so beautiful! You look beautiful no matter what you wear! You're even more beautiful without anything on!"

"You little rascal!"

Changpu pinched Liaowu's ear, feeling a little happy. Everyone likes to hear compliments, especially compliments on a girl's beauty.

Changpu and Liaowu played around for a while, and finally noticed Liaowu's height.

"Naruto, you've grown so fast! You're so much taller than me now!"

Changpu compared her height with Liaowu's.

Previously, Naruto was about 1.6 meters tall. After Liao Wu's spores modified Naruto's body, he grew a few centimeters taller, exceeding 1.7 meters.

They're all a head taller than the calamus.

Even those who know you well wouldn't notice this change.

"Let's go, that clothing store is two blocks away. I often buy clothes from her!"

Changpu walked ahead, and Liaowu approached Changpu and grabbed her hand.

"Naruto, what are you doing?"

"There are a lot of bad people in Konoha at night. I'm afraid my sister will be taken away by someone else!"

"I think you're the bad guy!"

Changpu struggled a few times, but when she realized she couldn't break free, she let Liaowu hold her hand.

Acorus has a very simple way of expressing her feelings; she won't act impulsively until she meets a boy she likes.

She couldn't find a suitable partner and remained single.

It was a bit strange that Liao Wu dragged me down a street.

Naruto has grown up and can be relied upon now.

The ninja world is dangerous. Only three years have passed since Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha. The most recent tension was the sacrifice of Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage.

Ayame isn't a ninja, so she doesn't know so many inside stories.

She had heard from the ninjas who came to Ichiraku Ramen that they had mentioned a terrorist organization called Akatsuki.

During that period, Konoha was under strict curfew every day, and ninjas left the village in droves to hunt down Kakuzu and Hidan.

The atmosphere in the village was once very serious.

Later, even Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, died in battle, and everyone thought something terrible was about to happen.

However, the terrorists who had infiltrated the Land of Fire were quickly dealt with.

"Naruto, I heard that you were the one who defeated that Akatsuki rogue ninja named Kakuzu!"

Liao Wu straightened his chest.

The credit for defeating Kakuzu wasn't entirely given to Naruto, because Kakashi and Shikamaru had already used up two of Kakuzu's masks before that.

But most of the credit should still go to Naruto.

These were internal ninja matters and did not receive any special commendation in the major newspapers.

These common people had only heard of calamus.

Liao Wu boasted to Ayame about his accomplishments: "Ayame-neechan, that Kakuzu is a rogue ninja from Takigakure, and he's even fought against the First Hokage!"

Ayame was somewhat skeptical: "Naruto, you're not lying, are you? The First Hokage's era was the Warring States period!"

"That Kakuzu guy must be in his eighties by now!"

"Sister Ayame, I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth. You don't know that some ninjas can seize the very essence of heaven and earth!"

"They developed many strange and forbidden techniques; that Kakuzu can steal other people's hearts to gain immortality!"

Changpu patted her chest, somewhat frightened: "Taking someone's heart, what's the difference between that and being a devil?"

"The world of ninjas is too dangerous. What would we ordinary people do if we encountered these rogue ninjas?"

Liao Wu gripped Changpu's hand tightly and assured her, "Don't worry, Sister Changpu, I'll protect you!"

Ayame smiled and patted Ryou's head: "Naruto's grown up. He's a man who can protect girls now!"

"Alright, it's right ahead! Let me pick out a nice outfit for you, dress you up nicely, and let Sakura change her eyes!"

Liao Wu bluntly stated, "Sister, I don't like Sakura anymore, she doesn't have breasts!"

Speechless, Changpu grabbed Liaowu's ear: "You brat!"

Changpu led Liaowu into the clothing store.

The clothing store owner was pleased to see a customer come in and went to greet him, but frowned when she saw Liao Wu.

Naruto has been away for three years. Although he has grown taller and bigger, his signature fox stripes and blue eyes are still easily recognizable.

Naruto Uzumaki—that fox demon boy!

The proprietress felt something was amiss, thinking that this fox spirit boy had brought bad luck into the house.

However, the other party was no longer the fox spirit boy he once was; he had put on his headband and was now a registered ninja in the village.

The villagers of Konoha can bully a ninja academy student or an orphan at will, but they dare not easily bully a ninja who is already enrolled.

The other party could easily kill him.

Moreover, she had heard that this fox spirit was very powerful, so the proprietress put aside her disgust and greeted him with a smile.

"Sweet flag, it's been so long since you've come to my house!"

Liao Wu saw the disgust in the landlady's eyes, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to stomp this blind fool to death.

But he still suppressed the urge; what if he trampled the landlady to death in front of Changpu?

He'll probably be arrested by the Dark Division or Root in the next second, and Ayame will hate him too.

No one likes a person who is moody, especially someone who enjoys killing.

Let these petty people gloat for now. Once he has real power, he will definitely teach these troublemakers a lesson.

"Boss lady, give me a men's outfit, something for Naruto's age!"

Liao Wu chose a red and white color-blocked zip-up jacket for himself. The main body of the jacket was pure white, the sleeves were dark red, and the collar had a drawstring, making it look loose and casual.

He styled his hair and used Yang Release to stretch his blond hair.

In the mirror, Liao Wu had bright, translucent light golden hair, each strand standing upright and spreading outwards, resembling a sharp, fluffy hedgehog.

The bangs at the forehead are naturally parted, not obscuring the eyes, and the ends of the hair are all neat and sharp, while the sideburns are short and clean.

This hairstyle is the same as Minato's hairstyle.

"How is it, Sister Ayame!"
