Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 35 Personality Correction: The First Round

Naruto Uzumaki, with mixed feelings, carried a plastic bag full of instant noodles.

It's truly baffling that Natsume could treat him normally even after knowing his own fox spirit identity.

Or rather, it was such a rare thing for him that he didn't know how to face it.

"Let's go."

Natsume, holding the instant noodle box, said.

"Eh?"

Naruto Uzumaki snapped out of his daze, looking completely bewildered.

I don't think I paid attention to what he just said.

"I'll take you to a store that can sell you things."

Natsume repeated it again.

"Really?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked incredulous upon hearing this.

He can buy things, but he can't buy good things.

For example, milk.

I keep getting milk that's about to expire.

In his past life, Natsume's mother also loved to buy milk that was about to expire because it was cheap.

There's no problem drinking it before it expires.

Naruto Uzumaki went to buy it, so he bought it at the original price.

In addition, he was a child and not careful enough, so the milk was easily left out for a long time, resulting in him never having drunk normal milk.

In the original story, he got diarrhea after drinking expired milk and thought it was his own fault.

It's easy to imagine that no one had taught him common sense about life.

"Of course."

Natsume was actually referring to his casino.

After nearly three years of development, a branch has been opened in Konoha.

As the chairman, it would be an easy task for him to get the owner of the Gunma Casino to take care of Naruto Uzumaki.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi finds out, it won't be a big deal.

He is Tsunade's apprentice.

He was not a disciple of Shimura Danzo or Orochimaru, nor did he bear the surname Uchiha.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi tries to harm him, Tsunade will fight him to the death.

Tsunade represents the Senju clan, and if they were to break ties, her reputation would plummet.

Despite being the strongest Hokage and receiving extensive publicity, he turned his attention to the descendants of Hashirama Senju, the hero who founded the village, and Tobirama Senju, his teacher.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face and will discourage other ninja clans.

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi were stupid, he wouldn't do that.

"Hurry up and go!"

Natsume walked to the door and found him still standing there, so he waved again.

Naruto looked at him, his eyes reddening, but no tears fell. He rubbed his eyes and shouted back, "Coming right away!"

The two arrived at the Gunma Casino.

Naruto Uzumaki was a little confused.

Although he didn't know what gambling was, was he worthy of such an extravagantly luxurious place?

"Let's go through the back door."

Natsume glanced at the female waitresses in battle-damaged kimonos in front of the main entrance, then pulled him to the back door.

Too young to be cocky.

But then he thought that Naruto's development of the Sexy Jutsu didn't seem to have much of a impact.

This guy is probably a born pervert.

"Boss, what brings you here?"

A middle-aged man saw Natsume and quickly came up to him, asking him questions warmly.

"Jung-yu, can't I come?"

Natsume smiled and asked in return.

"What are you saying? You can come anytime."

Zheng Yu realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly apologized.

Don't blame him for doing this.

Since taking over the Konoha branch of the Gunma Casino, his family has gone from barely making ends meet to being wealthy, a meteoric rise indeed.

Natsume was naturally treated with the utmost respect.

Naruto Uzumaki looked astonished.

This place is so big and luxurious, and the owner is actually this big brother who looks only ten years old?

He was deeply shocked.

"Naruto, his name is Masahiro."

Natsume turned around and said, "You can ask him for anything you want to buy in the future."

Zheng Yu was slightly taken aback. He had already recognized Naruto Uzumaki as the legendary fox spirit, but he still smiled and said, "Little brother, don't worry, whatever you want, we can provide it here."

Both their tone and attitude were very kind.

In his opinion, no matter what kind of fox spirit he was, it couldn't compare to a single sentence from Natsume.

After all, he was the one who gave birth to us.

Naruto Uzumaki stood there for a few seconds, wanting to express his gratitude, but tears involuntarily streamed down his face.

"sorry."

He wiped away his tears and said, "My older brother is the second person to treat me so well. I'm happy, but I don't know why I suddenly started crying."

Natsume sighed.

That's really tragic.

If it were an adult, most people couldn't stand being subjected to cold and sarcastic remarks every day.

Even cyberbullying that occurs without ever meeting in person is difficult for many people to tolerate.

Naruto Uzumaki, at only three years old, and despite being bullied face-to-face, still managed to remain optimistic, which is truly remarkable.

Perhaps this is the answer Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted.

Stability as a container and weapon.

The most outrageous thing is that he wasn't the only one who did this.

For example, Gaara, the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast from the neighboring Sand Village, is comparable to Naruto Uzumaki in terms of misfortune, or even worse.

Even a dog would cry upon hearing this.

Even training a dog isn't this tough.

Natsume gave him a wink, and Masahiro understood and left.

"Who was the first one? Why didn't he buy you anything?"

After a moment, he asked casually.

"It was an old man, I don't know who he is."

Naruto wiped away his tears and said, "He's very good to me. He comes to see me regularly and gives me money."

"What does he look like? Maybe I know him, then you can go find him anytime."

Natsume's words made Naruto's eyes light up.

When he was treated coldly, the first thing he thought of was the old man's kindness to him.

Unfortunately, he didn't know where he lived, so he couldn't find him.

"Let me think... He wasn't particularly tall, his beard and hair were white, and he sometimes smoked a pipe."

Naruto's description was very brief, and most people wouldn't understand it at all.

However, Natsume already knew the answer; he asked the question to avoid arousing Natsume's suspicion.

"Hmm, it looks somewhat familiar."

He pretended to be deep in thought.

Naruto Uzumaki looked at him expectantly.

A moment later, Natsume suddenly realized and said, "Come with me."

He led Naruto to the street and pointed to the third portrait on the Hokage Rock, asking, "Doesn't it look like him?"

"Hmm, it really does seem to be him."

Naruto Uzumaki was a little incredulous.

Although he was only three years old, he knew about the Hokage Rock.

The portraits of the four Hokage are engraved on it.

So, the person who often came to see him was actually the Third Hokage?

Thinking about this, he was suddenly very moved.

My wish to become Hokage was definitely right.

Grandpa Naruto is so kind!

Seeing the change in his expression, Natsume could roughly guess what he was thinking.

It must be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi's skills were indeed quite impressive.

How could a child withstand such an operation?

The so-called "children of destiny" are nothing more than people whose fates are manipulated by others.

Aside from his temperament, Naruto is really not that great.

For example, he once used his talk-no-jutsu on Nagato, saying he would change Amegakure, but Amegakure just got worse and worse.

If Nagato knew, he would probably be so angry he'd rise from his coffin.

"He really is a third-generation grandfather!"

Naruto Uzumaki said excitedly.

The only person who was kind to him was the Hokage.

He suddenly felt that other people's attitudes didn't seem so important.

"It's actually the Hokage?"

Natsume looked puzzled and asked, "Since he's the Hokage, that's strange. Why didn't he stop others from doing what you did?"

Naruto's smile froze instantly.

Yes.

The Hokage is the leader of Konoha.

Everyone must listen to him.

If he speaks up, he will no longer be met with disgusted looks and foul language from the villagers.

Since he's been so good to me, why didn't I stop him?

"Perhaps it's because my great-grandfather was too busy to notice."

Naruto Uzumaki quickly came up with a reasonable explanation.

"Then you can remind him next time you meet."

Natsume didn't say anything more, leaving it at that.

He knew very well that Hiruzen Sarutobi's attempts to stop him were futile.

They will go from cold words to indifference.

In some ways, it's even more painful.

It's impossible to change Naruto's mind with just one conversation.

Anyway, he now regularly buys things at the Gunma Casino, so the chances of running into him in the future have greatly increased.
