I, Naruto, started out with Hinata feeding me imported candy.

"Naruto, you should be content."

Immediately, he took out two keys from his pocket, pointed at them and said, "Here, this key is for the residential property, and this key is for the storefront. Keep them safe and don't lose them."

"Don't worry, it won't get lost."

Naruto didn't stand on ceremony and took the key directly, grinning as he spoke.

The two chatted as they walked out of the house.

Before long, they arrived at a doorway.

"This is the storefront. Come inside and have a look."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke up.

"it is good."

Naruto nodded, then inserted the key into the lock.

After rotating a few times, the storefront door opened.

The moment the door opened, a unique scent, the kind that only a new house has, wafted out of the house.

After the smell in the room dissipated, Naruto and Hiruzen Sarutobi went inside.

"This storefront is quite large, with a total area of ​​three hundred square meters. Isn't that good enough?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi introduced himself.

"Not bad." Naruto looked at the unfinished house in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. Then he said with a smile, "Let's leave it like this for now. If I need a larger area for my business, I'll have to ask you to build another one."

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi rolled his eyes. So he was just a tool?!

After looking at most of the houses, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to stay any longer.

"Naruto, the house and storefront you requested have been built for you."

"From now on, you must cultivate yourself diligently, understand?"

"Don't worry, I definitely will." Naruto nodded and answered seriously.

"Hmm, that's more like it." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, I should go back and handle my official business now."

Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Naruto glanced at the unfinished house in front of him, and said with a crooked mouth, "Wait a minute, you're just leaving like this???"

"???" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked puzzled and asked, "Naruto, I've already built this house for you, what am I still doing here??"

Upon hearing this, Naruto pointed to the unfinished house and said matter-of-factly, "Look, you built my house, but aren't you going to decorate it for me?"

"What?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed, his eyes wide with anger, "I have to renovate for you?!"

"Of course!" Naruto nodded emphatically and said seriously, "This is a bare-bones house with no decorations whatsoever. It's drafty on all sides. If it were you, would you want to live here?"

Faced with the boy's confident words, Hiruzen Sarutobi really couldn't refute them.

His lips twitched violently, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"How about this, I'll handle the renovation of your house, okay?"

“Okay!” Naruto grinned and nodded with great satisfaction.

"..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's face twitched violently, muttering irritably, "What kind of karma have I created? I spent so much money building this house, and now I have to spend money on decorating it. What a tragic life!!!"

In the end, feeling quite frustrated, he didn't want to stay a moment longer.

Leave quickly!

Naruto smiled after seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi leave in a huff.

Then he rubbed his chin.

"With a storefront, you can start a business."

"Since I catch so many fish every day, I can sell them and add another source of income for me!"

Then, he changed his mind.

"However... I really can't manage the business by myself; I'll need to find some help."

Naruto briefly outlined his life's direction and then stopped thinking about anything else.

a week later.

In a jungle.

Kakashi's voice rang out.

"Sasuke! Hurry! Catch the black cat!!!"

"Ok!"

Sasuke nodded, then stretched out his hands and rushed towards the tree trunk.

"Meow meow meow~~~~"

With a piercing meow, the black cat was successfully captured.

After being caught by Sasuke, the little black cat saw his fierce expression.

Immediately, it was so frightened that it started waving its paws and meowing.

"Meow meow meow~~~~ (Don't come any closer!!!)"

"..." Sasuke saw the cat's paws trying to scratch him, his lips twitched violently, and he glared, wanting to scare him again.

Kakashi stepped forward and nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, that's a wrap. Go back and report."

Inside the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to Kakashi's report and nodded.

"Yes, you did a great job."

Immediately, he took a new task sheet from his desk.

"Here you go, this is your task of pulling weeds."

however--

When he said those words, Sasuke from Team 7...

At that moment, his face twitched violently, and he said with a dark expression:

"A Rank D mission, a Rank D mission, another Rank D mission!!!"

"Third Hokage, I didn't graduate from the Ninja Academy to do D-rank missions like pulling weeds, finding cats, and scavenging trash!!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Naruto beside him and muttered to himself.

What's even more infuriating is!!!

Naruto didn't do any of these D-rank missions.

Every time he went on a mission, he would go to nearby fishponds and fishing spots.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

At this moment, Kakashi, listening to Sasuke's words, awkwardly scratched his head at Hiruzen Sarutobi, and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, problem children are really hard to manage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, then looked at the members of Squad 7.

Immediately, he took a document out of the drawer.

"I have a C-level mission here, and it's the kind that takes you outside the village."

"A C-rank mission! And it's outside the village!!" Sasuke's face lit up with ecstasy upon hearing this.

Finally, I don't have to do D-rank missions anymore!!!

Naruto narrowed his eyes upon seeing this.

Is that mission coming soon?!

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the documents in his hand, then spoke to the office door.

"Someone, go and fetch Mr. Tazner."

Chapter 32 Naruto, the Lazybones, Just Passing By! Sasuke's Miserable Battle!

early morning.

Konoha Village.

Three men and one woman were standing at the entrance to the village.

Kakashi, Tazuna, Sasuke, and Sakura Haruno.

All four of them turned their gazes toward the village.

Just then, a blond boy walked over with a bright, sunny smile.

"Naruto, why are you so late?"

Sasuke looked at his teammate who had walked up to him and asked a question.

"Oh, Hinata knew I was leaving the village, and she couldn't bear to part with me, so she came to my house early this morning to keep me company."

Naruto replied with a smile.

Recalling Hinata's reluctance to part with him, Naruto's lips curled into a slight smile.

It feels so good to have such a cute little wife who cares about me so much!!!

"..." Upon hearing this, Sasuke's lips twitched; he regretted asking the question.

Isn't this like feeding yourself dog food first thing in the morning?!

After everyone finished eating a full bowl of dog food, Kakashi, who was standing to the side, said something to everyone.

"Let's go, let's set off."

noon.
