This Naruto is a player

Never mind then.

Naruto doesn't really want to see Tsunade unless absolutely necessary.

"They're out!"

Suddenly, Sakura waved cheerfully behind her. Naruto turned around and saw Sasuke and Shikamaru walking out of there wearing brand-new Chunin vests.

After half a day, Sasuke was still the same as ever, with a cool look on his face, as if everyone owed him a fortune.

Where's Shikamaru?

Still sporting that 'this is so troublesome' expression, Naruto thought the two of them could be turned into memes!

"Oh~ Your injury is healed?"

Naruto walked over and greeted Shikamaru, suppressing a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's gaze swept over as well.

He hadn't asked much before because of his own "persona," but Naruto has now directly touched on his old wound.

The same goes for Sakura.

After all, Shikamaru's dance moves that day were so 'impressive' that they probably would never see such a flamboyant dance again in their lives.

That's the 'cultivation' Naruto acquired by browsing through 30,000 beauties in his harem on Douyin in his previous life. Shikamaru should learn from the amount of knowledge contained within it!

There's simply not enough time to learn it all!

Where's Shikamaru?

Upon hearing Naruto's question, everything went black before his eyes.

I finally managed to stay home and pretend to be sick for a few days, not wanting to see my good friend, but I still ended up running into her.

That day's events are practically a dark chapter in his life; every time he thinks about it, it's an unbearable memory!

He dares not recall it!

Shikamaru has made up his mind: once he gets back, he must research a ninjutsu that can alter other people's memories!

for sure!

"Um, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"

Shikamaru pretended to be calm, didn't even answer Naruto's question, and simply turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, the observant Naruto noticed that Shikamaru's neck seemed to be completely red.

Good grief, he's practically transformed into Hinata?

"Hehe, this is kind of interesting." Naruto laughed as he watched his retreating figure.

Remembering something, Naruto suddenly called out to him, "Hey, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru's figure stopped.

Don't forget to come over for dinner tonight!

Shikamaru waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

Naruto turned around and looked at Sasuke. "And you? Sasuke? A Chunin, huh?"

"Ah."

Sasuke maintained a cool expression, but inwardly he was already delighted.

He's a Chunin now, just one step away from becoming a Jonin like Naruto!

Although Sasuke's expression didn't seem to change, Naruto, who knew him very well, naturally knew that the kid was overjoyed inside.

The meaning of life lies in showing off.

What Naruto hates most is when someone tries to show off in front of him.

Then, Naruto suddenly said in a cheeky tone, "Not bad, you've already become a Chunin. But keep up the good work! You're still one nin away from becoming my Jonin."

The smug look on his face, the universe formed by his thumb and forefinger, seemed incredibly mocking to Sasuke.

"嘁~"

Sasuke scoffed defiantly and turned his face away.

Naruto clearly saw that the corners of his mouth, which had been turned up, suddenly fell down.

Sasuke is unhappy.

But Naruto smiled.

Chapter 211 This clone is different

Here you go.

Seeing that Sasuke's face was about to break down, Naruto decisively took out a gift he had prepared beforehand to interrupt his spellcasting.

Sure enough, Sasuke, who was about to explode, was immediately distracted.

"what is this?"

Sasuke stared at the wooden box and asked curiously.

Sakura, who had been watching the scene with a smile, also came over.

“A precious sword!” Naruto maintained a mysterious smile.

"A precious sword?"

Sasuke looked at the box, which was shorter than a kunai, with disbelief on his face, but he accepted it anyway because it was a gift from Naruto.

Seeing that Sasuke's complexion had improved, Naruto was planning to do another show-off routine, but then he saw Sakura winking at him.

Sakura's winking and gesturing were practically sending out Morse code.

Naruto understood instantly.

"that,"

He scratched the back of his head, looking as if he had suddenly remembered something. "I think I forgot to turn off the gas at home. I'll be going now."

"Oh, see you tonight~" Naruto added as he turned back before leaving.

Before he could finish speaking, he jumped onto the roof and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The sound was carried by the wind.

Of course, this disappearance is only a fake disappearance.

swoosh~

After getting out of their sight, Naruto, who had been leaping between the two houses and was in mid-air, disappeared with a Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to the vicinity in the blink of an eye.

He hid on the rooftop closest to the two, observing their situation, ready to watch the drama unfold.

I thought Sakura was going to put on some big show, prepare to make a big splash, and fulfill Sasuke's long-cherished wish to revive the clan.

结果

Naruto had been watching the scenes of the "passionate female supporting character" and the "cold male second character" for several months.

The children were so sleepy from watching it that they kept yawning.

"Boring, I'm never watching this kind of silent film again."

With a bored sigh, Naruto looked up at the sky; it was almost noon.

He planned to first make a trip to the root of the family to show his face, to justify his daily salary of 50 taels, before going to eat.

swoosh~

In the blink of an eye, Naruto used Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the Root base, which he was so loyal to.

Naruto lay comfortably on the soft, comfortable sofa, his legs casually propped up on his desk, feeling quite at ease.

Noticing the red button on the table, he reached out and slapped it.

Snap snap snap~~~

Soon, the sound of high heels creaked in the hallway outside the door.

Karin, with her bright red hair, pushed open a crack and peeked out from outside.

"Naruto-kun!"

Upon seeing that Naruto was indeed there, a smile instantly bloomed on her previously cold face.

Then she opened the door and came in.

She was holding a bottle of cola and a wine glass.

Arriving at the table, Karin deftly set down the wine glass and began pouring herself a glass of cola.

Once the bubbles filled the cup, she gestured for it to be filled.

Please use it~

Naruto glanced at him casually before reaching out and picking it up.

As soon as Naruto touched the cup, he sensed the temperature of the cola.

6 degrees.

Just the right temperature, not too much, not too little – the perfect temperature for an iced cola.

After taking a satisfying gulp, Naruto finally showed an appreciative look.

"Not bad!"

I just gave a compliment, and then...

bang~

With a loud thud, a mountain of documents, almost taller than Naruto, suddenly slammed onto the table, leaving Naruto dumbfounded.

"what is this?"

"Naruto-kun, this is the organization's work for half a day. Please review it." Karin Uzumaki smiled, but Naruto always felt that her smile hid a knife.
