Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

"hateful!"

Naruto didn't even wipe his mouth before gritting his teeth and charging towards Sasuke.

The next moment, Sasuke and Naruto started wrestling. The fight between two children wasn't very serious; they just pinched each other's cheeks and punched each other randomly with their little fists, without much force.

Itachi glanced over and a slight smile appeared on his face. In his eyes, Sasuke and Naruto's behavior was more like a fight between good friends.

"You two!"

Kushina threw two punches, hitting Sasuke as well, while Mikoto watched with a smile, after all, they were family.

"It's delicious."

Itachi's voice was very calm, and his movements were unhurried, unlike the usual customers who couldn't slow down their eating.

"I'm glad you like it."

"Ouch, that damned demon king!"

"－－－"

Tsuki and Itachi were having a calm conversation, while Naruto and Sasuke had teary eyes, and Kushina was clenching her fists.

"Thank you for your hospitality."

After finishing the last bite, the weasel elegantly put down its cutlery.

"You're welcome. Come again next time! You're always welcome."

Tsukiki felt nostalgic about this peaceful conversation and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Ah."

Itachi nodded slightly.

"It's so lively. It's the same every day."

Yue Shu looked at the group of people in front of her and smiled gently.

Itachi watched Tsukiki from the side. In his eyes, Tsukiki, through the passage of time, transformed into another person. That person was sleeping in a hammock, taking a nap in the gentle breeze and soft sunlight.

This is not bad either.

Chapter 300: Hinata Hyuga

"I'm so bored. It would be so nice to go to Uncle Yue Shu's place for hot pot in this weather."

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Mikoto's home—no, it should be everyone's home—Kushina and Mikoto both lived here, as did Naruto and Sasuke.

Two years later, Naruto was five years old, and it was time for him to be confined.

It's quite interesting that even though the environment has changed and Naruto is no longer considered the Nine-Tailed Fox, the energetic Naruto still enjoys playing pranks and is a well-known troublemaker in Konoha.

He was caught by Kushina after being naughty and causing trouble, and was immediately put in solitary confinement.

Naruto is currently unable to leave the house.

"How boring."

Naruto tossed and turned on the tatami mat, exhaling a warm breath.

Looking out over the courtyard, the tall tree was now covered in white, and the sky, which was no longer azure but rather snowy white, was still snowing.

Is it snowing?

Naruto stared blankly for a while, then started puffing out his cheeks.

"That's great, I really want to go out and play in the snow."

"Damn it, that Sasuke guy, he actually managed to go out happily."

Naruto gritted his teeth at the thought of Sasuke following Itachi out for a stroll.

The snow was falling softly, very gently.

Naruto grinned mischievously.

"At this time, hehe."

Naruto grinned mischievously as he began to put on his thick clothes, glancing outside.

I'm going out.

Naruto said it very softly.

"There's no one here."

Naruto closed the door and began to move quietly.

"So, where do we go next?"

The snowfall wasn't too heavy, but perhaps because it had snowed so heavily in the previous days, there's already a considerable amount of snow piled up on the ground.

Naruto's small feet stepped down, leaving behind footprints.

"It's so cold."

Naruto exhaled another breath of hot air onto his hand.

Meanwhile, Yue Shu's Happy Restaurant was bustling with customers. Hot pot was the perfect choice when the weather was cold, and a large group of people gathered at Happy Restaurant to enjoy it. Some even ate hot pot under a covered shed outside, braving the cold wind.

The feeling of water and fire merging is quite nice; the exterior is so cold, but the inside of the body is constantly getting warm.

"Moon Tree, another glass of wine, and a plate of tripe too."

"understood."

Tsukiki was constantly busy in the kitchen, and so were the two waitresses, Kushina and Mikoto.

"Oh! I'll also ask you to bring three glasses of wine, a plate of tripe, a plate of beef, and a plate of vegetables."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The Happy Little Restaurant is bustling with activity.

"call."

After a period of busy activity, serving the dishes gradually became less hectic.

"Oh dear, we don't have any soy sauce or sugar."

Mikoto checked the kitchen utensils, and after a busy period, the three of them began to rest.

"Oh, we also need to replenish the detergent and dishwashing gloves, and we need to buy some sponges as well."

Kushina echoed in agreement.

"Then I'll go buy it. It's been a while since I went shopping."

"Thank you for your help."

Tsukiki, Kushina, and Mikoto waved with smiles, then put on their scarves and went out.

"The snow is so beautiful."

Yue Shu has been running his shop for five years now, and he's gradually developed a sense of belonging to Konoha. His little shop and his friends are here; he's happy enough.

"Let's go."

Yue Shu walked into the snow, and snowflakes gently fell on her head, feeling somewhat icy and cool.

"Buy them a gift."

After walking for a while, Yue Shu muttered to herself, "This idea just popped into my head."

Tsukiki smiled and made the decision.

"How about the scarf? But it seems they already have one, and Christmas is coming soon."

"Christmas? Where is that holiday? Why did this suddenly pop into my head?"

Tsukiki muttered to herself as she walked toward the street.

-------

"Build a snowman, build a giant snowman!"

Naruto grinned mischievously on the Hokage Rock, continuously piling up large snowballs. This time, he planned to build a giant snowman on the Hokage Rock.

"What is that?"

When Tsukiki looked up, he saw Naruto. Even though Naruto had lost his memory, it didn't change the fact that his strength was still as great as it was.

"Naruto?"

From Tsukiki's perspective, he could clearly see the little red-haired guy excitedly rolling a snowball.

"Wasn't he supposed to be in solitary confinement? He sneaked out again, and when Kushina found out, he got another beating."

Tsukiki smiled helplessly.

"Go and take a look at this troublemaker."

Tsukiki decided to put aside her shopping and head towards Naruto.

Meanwhile, Naruto, who was up there, was unaware that he had already revealed himself, and was distracted by other commotions.

That was the scene that was superfluous at first glance: under the Hokage Rock, a girl was surrounded by several boys, who seemed to be bullying her.

"You're actually bullying me? But don't even think about it if you run into me, Naruto!"

Naruto threw the snowball down and then jumped down with his eyes closed.

"sorry."

The girl sat on the ground, tears welling in her eyes, her voice very soft. The boys around her didn't intend to leave, nor did they do anything, just saying things that weren't too harsh. The group of boys surrounding her created a rather imposing atmosphere.

The next moment, with a loud bang, the snowball crashed down and exploded on the side, startling all the children.

"what!"

Each child was scattered, looking towards the direction from which the sound came.

The next moment, with a thud, Naruto fell straight down. Luckily, there was a soft, thick layer of snow and grass underneath, otherwise Naruto would have been hurt.

"Stop right now! I, Naruto, am here!"

Naruto got up and struck what he thought was a cool pose, but in reality, his head was covered in snow and he looked grimy.
