Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 32 First Encounter with Naruto Uzumaki

"Finally, we got rid of that brat."

Mitarashi Anko chewed on a dumpling, feeling somewhat relieved.

"I have this feeling that deceiving a little kid isn't really a good thing..."

One of the Chunin Exam examiners cautiously inquired, seemingly afraid of Mitarashi Anko's temper, and added, "Of course, that brat caused quite a bit of trouble during the exam, and Anko, you really helped everyone get revenge!"

Because of that brat Akihara Kagura, the entire Chunin Exams were a bit chaotic.

In the first written exam, Akihara Kagura used her transformation technique to completely outmaneuver all the examinees, almost causing the entire Chunin Exams to collapse.

In the second wilderness survival challenge, Akihara Kagura, that brat, destroyed the finish line and single-handedly captured almost all the teams, making it seem like she was eliminating all her competitors in the second round, almost making it impossible for the third exam to proceed.

"Forget it."

Mitarashi Anko waved her hand, watching Akihara Kagura's departing figure, and said indifferently, "These lively kids just need to be disciplined..."

"What about the remaining candidates?"

"Didn't that brat dispel the spell?"

Mitarashi Anko surveyed the group of examinees sprawled haphazardly in the Forest of Death: "We should have eliminated all of these guys, but let them fight it out themselves this time. They're all gathered here; the results should be out soon!"

"It's getting dark..."

As night fell, Konoha Village gradually quieted down.

The shops on the street were all closing up shop, leaving only a few stores and the lights of Ichiraku Ramen casting a warm orange glow in the night.

"Coo coo coo coo..."

A blond boy hid under the eaves, rubbing his hungry stomach, looking at the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant not far away, and counting the few coins he had left in his palm.

"This amount of money isn't even enough for a bowl of noodles..."

A boy's voice came to the little boy's ear.

"yes…"

The blond boy nodded instinctively, then realized someone was beside him and took two steps back abruptly: "Who...who are you?!"

"A person who was also starving."

The boy reached out and patted his flat stomach, then rummaged through his empty pockets: "I'm just as poor and destitute as you."

"..."

The blond boy's eye twitched.

"bring it on."

The boy squatted down on the steps under the eaves and waved to the little boy, saying, "Squatting down and resting for a bit will make you feel less hungry."

"..."

The blond boy slowly dawdled over.

Many people in the village would curse him and never allow him to get close, but this older brother, who was a little older than him, didn't reject him.

This blond-haired little boy is Naruto Uzumaki.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha Village has the most ferocious tailed beast sealed within his body.

This boy was none other than Akihara Kagura. After leaving the Forest of Death, he didn't want to return to Root so soon, so he decided to take advantage of the time to enjoy the scenery in Konoha. Unexpectedly, he encountered the little boy Uzumaki Naruto on the street.

This is…

A child that's impossible not to like.

This little boy's story always inspires many people to forge ahead.

Even Akihara Kagura had to admit that if it weren't for the story of this little boy in her past life, no one would like this ninja world. He was the warmest sun in this ninja world.

Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't know any of this.

The little guy was still quite happy, seemingly having met someone who didn't dislike him, and curiously started a conversation: "Are you a ninja from the village?"

"Yes."

Kagura Akihara nodded, glanced at the blond-haired kid beside her, and added, "In a few days, I'll be a Chunin in the village. Do you know what a Chunin is? It's a level you'll never reach in your entire life."

"..."

Naruto's forehead twitched, and he pouted in dissatisfaction, waving his little fist forcefully: "No way! I'm going to surpass the Hokage! Do you know what kind of person the Hokage is? The strongest person in the village is the Hokage..."

"But we need to eat first..."

Akihara Kagura's words instantly extinguished the little blond boy's passionate fighting spirit, and he slowly continued, "Children must eat well to grow up strong."

"Aren't you hungry too!"

Naruto rubbed his rumbling stomach and immediately retorted.

"I could have gotten a few days of decent food."

Akihara Kagura changed her posture again, sitting on the steps with her hands resting between her legs, her eyes somewhat gloomy: "It's a pity that I was deceived today. Although I also found it troublesome and willingly let her deceive me, it still makes me angry that she just lied to me like that."

"...So long-winded."

Naruto Uzumaki picked at his ear.

"I see..."

Akihara Kagura smiled, reached out and patted Uzumaki Naruto's head, a smile appearing on her face: "It's okay, one day you'll feel that way too."

"No way!"

Naruto Uzumaki retorted loudly, asserting that his intelligence couldn't be that low: "I won't be as easily fooled as you!"

"Yeah?"

Akihara Kagura didn't seem to believe it very much.

Just as Akihara Kagura and Naruto were chatting here, an old man with a pipe in his mouth passed by on the street and suddenly stopped in front of them.

"grandfather!"

Naruto's expression immediately turned excited!

Because he happened to know this old man, the old man would occasionally appear by his side when he was feeling down or sad.

"Yo, Naruto."

The old man, pipe in mouth, exhaled a smoke ring and slowly said, "It's so late, aren't you going home to sleep?"

Before Naruto could answer, the old man's gaze fell on Kagura Akihara: "There's a little guy here too... Why isn't he resting tonight?"

"Because I'm so hungry."

Naruto patted his stomach, then suddenly looked up at the old man and said, "Grandpa, take me fishing! He's too hungry to sleep, so let's go fishing together by the river! If we catch any fish, we'll have something to eat!"

"OK…"

The old man reached out a kind hand and stroked Naruto's head, his gaze remaining fixed on Akihara Kagura: "Little one, since you haven't eaten, why don't you come with us?"

"I want to eat ramen."

Akihara Kagura responded slowly.

"..."

This little guy is really not polite!

The old man's eyes twitched, but he quickly got used to Akihara Kagura's attitude and said with a smile, "When this old man went out, he didn't have much money on him... Did you two little ones have any money on you?"

"This is all I have..."

Naruto showed the old man the coin in his hand.

"My pockets are emptier than my face."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and stood up on her own: "Forget it, I've had enough fun today. If I go back too late, Lord Danzo will be angry."

"What an obedient child."

The old man smiled and praised him, saying, "I do have a friend named Danzo. I remember he shouldn't get angry so easily."
