Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 663 Naruto's House and Sasuke's House

"Ugh, so boring..." Boruto sat on a bench in the ninja academy's playground, looking up at the sky with a bored expression.

"Boruto, I'm telling you, if you don't want to play with everyone, at least have some team spirit!" A girl with long black hair and glasses walked over, put her hands on her hips, looked at Boruto with a displeased expression, and shoved a light stick into his hand.

Boruto looked at the light stick in his hand with disgust: "Who uses this to cheer for someone these days?"

The girl crossed her arms, looking annoyed: "Then how are you going to cheer for your teammates?"

Boruto glanced at Kawaki, who was warming up on the other side of the field, and scoffed, "Does he need his teammates' encouragement?"

Sarada looked over there, then glared at Boruto even more angrily: "No matter how strong someone is, you have to go up and cheer them on!"

After Boruto performed several backflips to escape Sarada's attack range, he looked at Kawaki in the distance, pursed his lips, then looked at Sarada, raised his head, and calmly asked, "You're the one who told me to do my best."

Sarada crossed her arms and nodded.

"Heh~" Boruto grinned cruelly. "Since you're the one who told me to do my best, I'll grant your wish! Hey! Kawaki!"

On the playground, during the running event of the first-year sports meet at the Ninja Academy, Boruto's classmate Kawaki is preparing on the track.

Hearing Boruto's words, he turned his head to look in Boruto's direction.

"Hahaha! Watch this! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!" Boruto immediately created dozens of Boruto clones after forming the hand seals.

Sarada, standing to the side, crossed her arms and nodded. "Hmm, using shadow clones to cheer on her classmate...it seems Boruto isn't entirely hopeless after all..."

"The Art of the Harem!"

"Bang bang bang bang"

All the Boruto characters instantly transformed into beautiful models from books, each wearing only thin underwear, and simultaneously blew kisses towards everyone on the playground.

"Ah!" XN

The students who had just entered the ninja academy had never seen anything like this before.

Even the usually reserved Kawaki looked at Boruto with a completely bewildered expression.

Sarada stared blankly at the scene, then a surge of intense shame made her roar, "You bastard Boruto!"

……

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Naruto bowed and apologized to the headmaster Iruka.

Iruka put his hands on his hips and glared at Naruto, then at Boruto, before finally bursting out laughing: "To be honest, your son is way more talented than you. At least you couldn't use Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu when you were in school."

Naruto was immediately embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't know how, it was just that there was no need to when he was in school... One Sexy Jutsu and you'd be done for, Iruka-sensei. If you used the Harem Jutsu, then Iruka-sensei would definitely bleed to death sooner or later.

Boruto stood tall and proud, looking quite arrogant.

"Thump"

Naruto punched Boruto on the head.

Iruka smiled at the father and son and said, "It's been a long time since I've had ramen. How about we go for ramen together later? Hmm, let's bring Boruto too."

Naruto's eyes lit up immediately: "Great! Great!"

The three then went to Ichiraku Ramen.

The decor of Ichiraku Ramen is more upscale, there are more chefs, and the seating area can accommodate dozens of people at the same time.

After Iruka led Naruto and Boruto to sit down, he began to talk to Naruto about Boruto's activities at school. Basically, he said that Boruto definitely has abilities and always gets first place in every practical exam.

But as for academic performance...

That's similar to what Naruto was like when he was in school.

Boruto became interested; he actually looked so much like his father.

Iruka laughed and said that it was more than just similar, it was incredibly similar.

Yes, having a member of the Uchiha clan as a nemesis is also similar in this respect.

Boruto immediately became interested and started chatting with Iruka.

Naruto felt somewhat comforted that his usually rebellious son could have such a long talk with Iruka-sensei.

That's why they say he's the head of student affairs.

Look at Shino (Aburame Shino), she can only be a teacher, and her presence is as weak as ever.

Iruka and Boruto quickly became very close, and Boruto was a little reluctant to part ways with them.

Naruto rubbed Boruto's head, thought for a moment, and said, "In the future, if you want to, or if you have any questions, you can go directly to Iruka when I'm not around."

Boruto nodded repeatedly, then looked at Naruto and said with a proud expression, "It seems that I am indeed very similar to you, Father. We had the exact same experiences in school."

Naruto's face darkened, then he sneered at Boruto and said, "That's not the same thing. Your father was very popular when he was in school!"

Not just your mom, but many people like your dad too!

Boruto looked at Naruto with a puzzled and skeptical expression: "Really?"

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto's belly also looked at Naruto suspiciously: "Really? Besides Hinata, there's actually someone blind enough to like you?"

Naruto, his face darkening, snapped at Kurama, "Shut up! You talk too much!"

Then, smiling, he replied to Boruto, "Of course it's true! When has your father ever lied to you?"

Boruto turned his head and seemed to be deep in thought.

……

The next day:

Class monitor Jian Jin was distributing materials to everyone.

Boruto stroked his chin and looked at Sumire, then pondered Naruto's words from yesterday.

A moment later, when Sumire Kakei approached Boruto, he stood up, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Class President!"

Jian Jin looked completely bewildered.

"Do you like me?!" Boruto asked with a serious expression.

Kakei Sumire was taken aback, then her face gradually flushed. The rest of the class looked over, and then…

"Snap"

"You pervert!" Jian Jin stomped her foot angrily, then ran out crying.

Boruto was sent flying by the slap, his legs twitching...

"Indeed... as expected... my father and I are still far behind..."

In the evening, Naruto came again, and the same familiar apology routine followed.

This time, however, it was Shino Aburame who was the target.

Shino Aburame sighed and patted Naruto on the shoulder: "Boruto is even more unruly than you were back then. You should teach him properly. His talent is no less than yours."

Naruto nodded in agreement.

As the father and son left the school, Naruto touched his stomach and offered a suggestion.

"How about we go get some ramen?"

Boruto paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, okay! Let's go!"

So the father and son went to the ramen shop.

When they arrived at the ramen shop and saw Sasuke and Sarada already seated inside, Naruto and Boruto simultaneously raised their eyebrows.

"Oh, isn't this Naruto? He went to apologize again today?" Sasuke looked at Naruto with a mocking expression.

Naruto glared at Sasuke through gritted teeth.

Sarada also crossed her arms and looked at Boruto.

"Hmph, enough talk, how about another match today?!" Naruto asked Sasuke.

Sasuke glanced behind Naruto: "Hinata... isn't here, is she?"

Naruto waved his hand: "He's handling official business, he didn't come."

"Bang!" Sasuke slammed his hand on the table: "Let's have a match! Come on! Let's see who's better!"

Ten minutes later:

"Thirteen bowls! Thirteen bowls!"

"Over here! Over here! This guy has ordered his fourteenth bowl!"

Boruto and Sarada watched the two men with large bellies with nervousness.

"Dad! Come on! We can't lose!" Boruto encouraged Naruto.

Sarada also encouraged Sasuke.

Finally, after the 16th bowl, neither of them could eat anymore.

"Hiccup, today, it's a draw for now, we'll fight again next time!" Sasuke said, and then ran off with Sarada.

Naruto leaned back in his chair and completely shut himself off.

Boruto fawned over Naruto, massaging his back and shoulders: "As expected of Dad! Next time, next time we'll definitely beat them!"

"Hiccup... Well, that's natural..." Naruto said, clutching his stomach as he stood up, looking like he was ten months pregnant.

"Ugh, damn it, I ate too much... Let's go back... I need to use the restroom..."

After rushing home, Boruto relaxed and sat on the sofa, ready to watch the Masked Rider series, which had already reached its thirtieth generation.

"Kid, do you really like watching tokusatsu TV?"

The sudden sound startled Boruto.

Turning his head, he saw his mother, who was rarely home, and the Third Hokage and his wife sitting in the kitchen, smiling at him.

Boruto pointed at Yua, his finger trembling: "You! You! You are!"

Yuya rested his chin on his hand: "You forgot about me after drawing such an ugly picture on my Hokage Rock? I can't forgive you for that."

Boruto immediately said, "I've been working as a social worker in the community for two months now! That should have settled things!"

As they talked, Boruto's momentum suddenly weakened: "...We're even...right?"

Tsunade looked at Boruto and couldn't help but laugh.

Yuya smiled, then waved to Boruto to continue watching TV.

Not long after, Naruto also came out of the toilet.

Although he still had to lean against the wall to get out, it was much better than before.

"Huh, the Third Hokage?" Naruto asked Yua strangely, "What brings you here?"

Yuya gestured for Naruto to sit down and said with a soft laugh, "I came over for a free meal and to talk to Hinata about something."

Naruto's face immediately fell.

He really couldn't eat anymore...

Fortunately, You Ya came mainly to discuss business, not to actually have a meal.

At the dinner table, Yuya, Hinata, and Naruto were having a great time.

This left Boruto, who was watching TV in the living room, somewhat bewildered.

what's wrong?

Why is everyone so happy in the kitchen?!

In the kitchen, Yuya smiled as he explained Hinata's various policies and systems over the past few years.

The benefits of many things can only be seen in the long run.

For example, as mentioned before, what Hinata cares about most is not economic growth, but the employment rate of everyone.

During Yu Ya's tenure, the overall employment rate was only around 87%.

Thirteen out of one hundred people are unemployed.

If this data doesn't prove anything, let's put it another way.

With an unemployment rate as high as 13%, does that make sense?

This ratio is terrifying. The only good thing is that during Yua's tenure, the economic level of Konoha Village's inner city kept improving by leaps and bounds. Even if some people just stayed at home doing nothing, they could still live a very comfortable life by collecting rent.

However, this didn't work for Hinata. Hinata enacted a series of laws and explicitly stipulated that anyone wanting to rent out their home must have relevant rental certificates.

Of course, this is not a charge; it just changes the nature of your house from a self-built house to a rental property. If there happens to be a large construction project in your area, the compensation will be based on the rental price.

Many people in Konoha Village's inner city were dissatisfied with this policy, but Hinata still insisted on implementing it.

However, Hinata later added a clause during the implementation period, which is that rental properties can apply to change the property type in the same year that the contract ends.

Simply put, when renting a property, you can agree on the contract period with the tenant, and the final change of property ownership will be based on this contract.

This makes things much more feasible. Many people who own multiple properties are changing the property ownership and then signing contracts with tenants that only last until the end of this year.

Even the most important things can be signed until the end of the year. If you feel that it's already close to the end of the year and it's troublesome to sign a new contract later, the landlord can simply waive one month's rent for you.

After all, these landlords don't really make money from this stuff.

Yuya crossed his legs and expressed his strong approval of Hinata's policy.

This indirectly reduces the burden on some tenants. Moreover, if the property ownership is changed, you, as the landlord, will be responsible if problems arise.

Unlike before, when a tenant had an accident, the landlord could argue with the tenant, claiming it was their property and telling them to get out.

Although tenants are likely to win in court, most tenants are working people and don't really have much time to waste on landlords.

Yuya wasn't unaware of this problem before, but there are priorities. For Yuya, the most important thing was the relationship with other villages. As long as the overall strategy didn't go wrong, there wouldn't be any problems.

Hinata's focus is different from Yua's. Hinata's idea is to first stabilize the internal situation before thinking about other things.

It's impossible to say whose method is better; each has its own merits.

Moreover, Konoha Village is already very strong now, so there is no need to be so aggressive towards external forces in many situations.

After all, even if the people of Konoha Village just sat there quietly, no one could possibly ignore their presence.

In this situation, focusing on the village itself might yield better results.

Although……

This inevitably leads to power conflicts with various forces held by other ninja clans.

Fortunately...

Hinata withstood the pressure.

Yuya looked at Hinata with admiration on his face.

Hinata was a little shy, but she accepted it calmly.

after all……

This was something she achieved with all her effort.

And the consequences of doing so...

Hinata turned her head to look at the living room, and then saw Boruto's little face pressed against the glass door of the kitchen, as if trying to hear what was being said inside...

Hinata's face instantly darkened...
