Chapter 12 Naruto's Convenience Store Opens

Chapter 12 Naruto's Convenience Store Opens
"Hello everyone, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm the man who's going to become Hokage."

Naruto wrote his name on the blackboard.

Turning his head, Naruto took in the expressions of everyone in the class before stepping down from the podium.

Very good, children are innocent and have not been obviously corrupted.

However, this homeroom teacher named Ichiro Oda... his eyes held a hint of disgust.

Should we send him away?

At that moment, Naruto remembered his side quest.

He was already a notorious prankster in the village anyway, so this was just another way to get rid of a homeroom teacher.

It doesn't matter.

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, it was break time.

All the students are making new friends.

Naruto also set his sights on one.

Over there in the aisle, there was a chubby little guy; he was round and kind of cute.

Wearing a short-sleeved shirt with the character "食" (food) on it, you must be a foodie, right?

"Hey chubby kid, my name is Naruto, and yours is Choji, right?"

"Don't call me Fatty!" Choji wanted to explode the moment he heard the word "fatty".

"Huh? Sorry, I didn't know you didn't like hearing that title." Naruto looked apologetic and reached behind him to pull something out.

"Here, these are for you as an apology gift."

Choji's spellcasting was interrupted by the six bags of potato chips placed on the table.

"Is it really for me?"

Looking at these bags of potato chips, Choji found it unbelievable.

"Of course, as an apology, you can have all of these. I sell snacks, and if you buy potato chips from me in the future, I'll give you a 5% discount."

Upon hearing this, Choji's eyes lit up, and he asked incredulously, "Really?"

"Of course. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. If you want any snacks in the future, just ask me."

Before leaving, Naruto suddenly turned back and handed over another bottle of soda.

"Cola is also delicious, you should try it. But drink only a little."

After saying that, Naruto ran towards his next target.

This is a small business that Naruto wanted to do when he had nothing else to do.

The goods in the mall are priced much cheaper than outside because they are purchased with prepaid RMB.

Food, drinks, and even ninja tools are cheaper than outside.

For example, the high-quality kunai that Naruto often draws is only 1 ryo per kunai in the shop.

But a kunai of this quality would cost at least 50 taels outside.

There are other price differences as well, but none are this exaggerated, though it's still enough for Naruto to earn a large profit from the difference.

If the adults hadn't been so unwelcoming to him, he would have opened a general store in the village and made money long ago.

But now the opportunity has come.

Adults don't want to deal with him, but they can use snacks and drinks to extract pocket money from their classmates.

Shikamaru, who was next to Choji, had been listening to their conversation. When Naruto left, he noticed that Choji was really looking forward to eating the potato chips.

“Hey Choji, you should know who he is, right?” Shikamaru prompted.

Other children might not remember, but Shikamaru remembered Naruto. He was someone almost every adult disliked, even avoided, with many saying he could transmit a virus. Although it was troublesome, Shikamaru didn't want Choji to contract this unknown virus. Making friends was already difficult enough; he was unpopular due to his personality and could only play with Choji. He didn't dare to think about losing Choji as well.

“I will not waste any food,” Choji replied firmly.

He slammed open a box of strange cucumber-flavored potato chips, took a bite, and found the flavor unique and delicious.

And there's cola, sweet and bubbly, so delicious!

While eating, Choji stared at the busy Naruto and suddenly remembered his first meeting with Naruto.

It happened on a commercial street. Naruto was walking down the street when passersby avoided him, and some even muttered curses at him.

This was the first time Choji had ever seen how much people disliked someone.

Many people dislike, even hate and despise Naruto, and want him to die.

However, he was shocked by Naruto's attitude.

Naruto seemed completely unconcerned about these things; in fact, he even saw Naruto walking along while tossing a coin into the air.

Then Naruto shouted, "It's decided then and there! Let's go fishing!"

Then he saw Naruto smile. Naruto, who had been discriminated against, hated, and even scolded by so many people, was actually smiling?
What an incredibly strong mind!

And what about Choji?
He was also discriminated against by other children because of his weight. Many children called him "little fat boy" or "fat pig." He felt a little inferior and was even more afraid and angry when others mentioned the word "fat" in front of him.

Therefore, he deeply sympathized with Naruto's plight.

He only had one friend, Shikamaru, and that was only because their families had been friends for generations; otherwise, he might not have had any friends at all.

It's lonely to be without friends, and Choji can't imagine what it would be like if he were all alone.

Will he be as strong as Naruto?
Can someone smile even when they're alone?
If he could, Choji really wanted to be friends with Naruto. He admired Naruto's strength and wanted to become like him.

Meanwhile, Naruto was still busy promoting snacks.

He sold the snacks to each student one by one, remembering many of them. Most students would choose to buy the snacks, until he reached Uchiha Sasuke.

The main character is indeed good-looking; he's already incredibly handsome at such a young age.

With his black hair and clean-cut, handsome face, no wonder he became the protagonist, and no wonder so many girls like him.

At this moment, he was putting on a cool face, but it was actually quite pretentious.

"Hey, do you want some snacks?"

Sasuke was speechless; he had noticed this lively blond-haired boy long ago.

Why do they call others by their names, but only call me "Hey" when I'm with them?

Naruto was resentful because the little kid in front of him was the protagonist, while he himself could only be the villainous boss.

When you're unhappy, you naturally won't have a good attitude.

Besides, this face is indeed good-looking, but I, Naruto, am just as good-looking, okay? Why am I relegated to being a villain when we're about the same age? I refuse to accept this!!!
Sasuke shook his head in refusal.

Rejected by the protagonist Sasuke, Naruto suddenly felt a surge of competitive spirit.

You're the main character!

He was quite curious to see what would happen if he led the protagonist astray.

Let's start with small things like this.

Naruto unleashed his full-power Yin Yang Aura and said nonchalantly, "Oh, as the second young master of the Uchiha clan, you don't even have money to buy a drink, do you?"

In the short time he had just spent, he had already found out everything about Sasuke's background.

"I want it."

The little brat is really easy to anger.

“Well, I’m telling you, as a young master, don’t be stingy. If you’re going to buy something, buy a big bottle like this.” Naruto placed a 2L bottle of cola on the table.

bang~
Sasuke simply placed the banknotes on the table.

"Cheng Hui, 10 taels."

Naruto grinned. "I'm selling a 5-ounce drink for 10 ounces! I'm ruthless!" Wait, why does it seem like I'm selling it too cheaply?
Watching Naruto leave, Sasuke suddenly reflected on himself.

Why am I so easily provoked? Strange?

Naruto, who was continuing to sell his wares, saw a familiar face.

"Oh, it's you. Your name is Hinata, right?"

Hinata was very shy. "Naruto-kun."

"No need to be so formal. Here, this milk tea is for you. Girls should drink more milk tea."

"Thank you Naruto-kun."

"A sincere offer of 15 taels."

The school bell rang, and Naruto returned to his seat.

wow~
The homeroom teacher, Mr. Oda, was doused with a bucket of water as soon as he opened the door.

"Who did it!!!"

"Teacher, it's Naruto Uzumaki."

"Naruto Uzumaki! Go stand outside as punishment!"
