Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"Naruto-kun, why do you always wear a mask?"

Hinata stared at Naruto's white fox mask with curiosity. Did he have some kind of special hobby?

"It's better to wear it because of some unhappy things."

Naruto's gaze swept over the pedestrians around him, his eyes filled with displeasure.

A bunch of troublemakers, if it weren't for...

"What's bothering you? Naruto-kun, can you tell me what it is?"

Hinata wanted to share Naruto's burdens.

Naruto remained silent, while Hinata's eyes were resolute. After a long while, Naruto removed his mask.

"This is it."

The street paused briefly after a pedestrian shouted "Fox spirit," then descended into chaos.

Before long, a path cleared up on the busy street, and pedestrians on both sides pointed and stared at Naruto with indifferent, disgusted, and even hateful eyes.

Hinata asked, bewildered, "Why...why is everyone treating Naruto like this?"

Her voice was tinged with sadness. Looking around, she suddenly felt that the village she once knew had become so unfamiliar.

"Probably because I'm good at throwing things."

Because of his habit of smashing people, Naruto's reputation is now much worse than it was in the original story.

But it didn't matter; he didn't care.

Naruto picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the head of the pedestrian who was shouting "Demon Fox".

Bang!

With a large bump on his head, the man glared angrily at Naruto, but dared not utter a curse.

After all these years, most of the villagers know Naruto's rules: he can do whatever he wants behind people's backs, but if you curse someone to their face, you'll get hit with a rock.

.........

Hinata remained downcast after leaving that unpleasant street.

Naruto took her soft little hand and smiled, "Hinata, don't worry about those things, it's not worth it... Let's do something fun, how about we go to the food court?"

I remember someone once said that when you're in a bad mood, you should eat to turn your grief into appetite.

"Naruto-kun... you're holding my hand..."

Steam started rising from her head; the little girl was about to faint.

"Have some backbone, Hinata! If you faint this time, I'll never dare to hold your hand again..."

"No...no..."

In short, Hinata finally managed to stand up. Although the blush on her face lingered for a long time, she ultimately did not faint.

"Well done, Hinata... Now let's go to the food court, but before we go, let me transform. It's inconvenient to eat while wearing a mask."

Not everyone has Kakashi's unique skill of eating while wearing a mask and not showing his face.

The two arrived at a small alley.

A moment later, Hinata, with a complicated expression, was led out of the alley by a blonde girl with twin ponytails.

It feels so strange. Why is this date different from what she imagined? It's still the same person, but she's become a girl or something...

Hinata sighed softly.

.........

Red bean paste, cinnamon rolls, chestnut rolls, oden, tempura, takoyaki...

As Naruto ate his way through the food, he realized that he had underestimated Hinata.

His appetite, far exceeding that of ordinary people, was utterly insignificant in the face of Hinata's enormous stomach.

"Hinata, I believe you have the potential to become the strongest."

Naruto looked at Hinata's flat stomach and said.

"I'm sorry... Naruto-kun, I..."

Hinata covered her face, too ashamed to face anyone.

"I'm not mocking you, Hinata, I'm serious..."

Although the ninja world is unscientific, it still has to abide by the law of conservation of energy. Hinata ate so many dragons, but her exercise level was only so-so. Where did all that excess energy go?

Thinking about his own situation, Naruto felt that Hinata's body might be awakening something, but in the original story, it didn't succeed...

"Hinata, have you ever eaten a proper meal at home?"

Hyuga certainly doesn't need Hinata's money for food, but given Hinata's timid nature, would she really reveal her true appetite at home?

Seeing Hinata's disappointed expression and silence, Naruto probably had an answer, so he took Hinata to Ichiraku Ramen.

"Come on, have a good meal."

.........

Hinata ate happily even though her wallet was completely empty, and Naruto wasn't sad at all.

It's just money, just ask Sasuke for it. We still have tens of thousands in savings that we haven't spent yet.

Naruto escorted Hinata home, and when they were still a block away from the Hyuga clan's residence, he pulled Hinata into an empty alley, deactivated the transformation jutsu, and restored her to her original appearance.

Pressing Hinata against the wall, Naruto said in a low voice, "Close your eyes, I have a gift for you."

Hinata thought she had guessed what the gift was, and her eyes instantly turned into mosquito coils.

"Isn't this too fast?"

Her heart was pounding, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Close your eyes."

After a moment's hesitation, she obediently closed her eyes. Naruto leaned his head closer, their foreheads touching, their faces almost touching.

—The Divine Emperor produces spirits!

—Uka-Mitama!

Green life energy and white soul energy transformed into tiny beams of light, emitted from the Rinnegan and continuously flowing into Hinata's tightly closed eyes.

"Hinata, do you feel anything?"

"Ugh... It's a little itchy and a little hot, Naruto-kun, what's wrong with me?"

"Don't panic, this is a normal physiological reaction. If you feel anything else wrong, tell me immediately."

"Um."

Three minutes later, Hinata, not receiving the gift she expected, said with barely concealed disappointment, "Naruto-kun, can I open my eyes?"

Are you feeling unwell?

Everything in moderation; excess is harmful.

Even if a supplement is good for your health, eating too much at once can easily cause indigestion.

"It doesn't hurt..."

"Then let's continue."

Come on, let me see how much of my stock can you eat, you big eater.

Twenty minutes later.

Naruto was completely drained. He looked at the sleeping Hinata with surprise and thought, "My expectations for you are getting higher and higher."

At that moment, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

"Let go of my sister!"

Let's go back a few minutes—

Today is the big day of her older sister graduating and becoming a genin. Hyuga Hanabi has prepared a surprise gift and is waiting for her sister to come home.

As a result, we waited from morning until noon, and it was almost lunchtime, but we still didn't see anyone.

Is something wrong with my sister?

Hanabi was a little worried, so she took her maid Hinata Natsu out to look for her sister.

Then, she saw the blond-haired boy pinning her sister against the wall and bullying her.

"Let go of my sister!!!"

Wearing an orange kimono and wooden clogs, Hanabi rushed over and threw a soft punch.

Hanabi, who missed her target, punched the wall instead; her hand must be a little sore from the impact.

A voice came from behind.

"I say... little sister, you're being too impulsive."

Hanabi turned around and saw Little Yellow Hair hugging his sister, staring at her speechlessly.

"Wow, that was fast..."

Hanabi's expression turned serious. She activated her Byakugan and saw the massive amount of chakra within Naruto's body, causing her eyes to widen in surprise.

This amount of chakra...

"Who exactly are you?"

Why does it possess such a vast amount of chakra?
