In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Why are you talking so much? A hundred thousand whys?" Naruto said impatiently, "I'll take you to team building and psychological counseling, understand?"

"What kind of tutoring?" Hydrangea was stunned. "Uh...is this some new type of shame play?"

"Probably a teacher or something like that?" Kurama Yakumo tilted his head and suddenly added, "The master seems to like this kind of thing..."

Naruto: “….”

The night was as silent as water. When Naruto approached the waterfall, he could hear the sound of water like thunder. He was shocked and quickened his pace to hurry to a nearby place.

"Hurry, catch up!" He turned around and waved.

"I know, I know!" Hydrangea said listlessly, "What? It's just fishing in the wild, late at night, so boring."

"What did you just say?" Naruto stopped.

"I mean... I like fishing. It's so fun!" Hydrangea's body tensed up, a forced smile on her face. "Hahaha."

The river was getting closer and closer. He took the lead and pushed aside the bushes. Finally, he saw the river downstream of the waterfall surging and rushing under the silver moonlight.

"arrive!"

He let out a long sigh, not sure if it was for Hydrangea and Kurama Yakumo, or just for himself. He pulled out a series of equipment from the sealed space and distributed it to the two women.

"Come on! Each of us has a fishing rod, just squat down there."

After that, Naruto handed the two of them a small stool and a mosquito repellent tent. He wasn't good at giving people psychological counseling, so he simply led them to do what he was most familiar with.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, let them slow down, stay away from the fighting life for a while, and experience the happiness of ordinary people, even if it is only short-lived.

"Let's start. I'll sit over there." Hydrangea took the initiative to find a fishing spot, casually fiddled with the bamboo pole she brought, put on the small earthworms she dug, and threw them into the river.

Kurama Yakumo was a calm and composed person, so he didn't rush to bait the fish. Instead, he carefully observed the terrain, found a suitable spot, and then methodically began to bait the fish.

She was different from Hydrangea, who probably just treated fishing as a task, and was a bit perfunctory. After all, Hydrangea still had some complaints about Naruto, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Kurama Yakumo probably understood Naruto's intentions and knew his true face. The shadow of his beating of Ido was still lingering in her heart, so she was very cooperative.

Perhaps it was because there was a big gift package for newbies fishing, so she had some catches from time to time since she sat down.

Hydrangea didn't pay much attention when she first glanced at Kurama Yakumo. She also benefited from the favor of the fishing god for novices and caught a fish.

But after watching it more times, things started to go wrong.

"Kurama Yakumo! Why are there so many fish over there?"

"A lot? I'm just sitting here. Maybe..." Kurama Yakumo tilted his head and smiled. "Maybe it's because the master is here, so I'm luckier."

Hydrangea: “….”

Damn it, stop the sudden teasing! Why are you licking that guy? Aren't we companions in life and death? Where's the oath we swore at the evil god's altar?

Why are they suddenly so inward-looking? Damn it! This is so boring! How can I say this?

Hydrangea grumbled furiously in her mind and stopped asking Kurama Yakumo, feeling too sullen. Her expression shifted again and again, finally suppressing the nausea she felt.

Fortunately, the final harvest was indeed good, and Hydrangea was in a good mood. The fishing process made her heart calm down slowly, and she gradually felt a little bit of fun.

Actually, it’s not that fun. She would never admit that fishing is interesting.

Looking at the basket full of fish, she just smiled, but suddenly she realized a problem: how to transport these fish back home at night?

"How do we get it back?" she asked.

"Hmm?" Naruto looked confused.

"Just store it. Put it in the sealed space to ensure it stays fresh. After all, a fishmonger named Gao said that fresh fish is more valuable."

After hearing this, Hydrangea pondered for a moment. She looked at the basket of fish at her feet, then at Naruto, and her mind suddenly became active.

"Um... Master... Master." Hydrangea still felt a little awkward calling out, "Can these fish be sold? There should be a town nearby, right?"

"The fish we caught...can we still sell it?" Kurama Yakumo was a little surprised.

"Of course, I've asked around, and wild big black fish are rare on the market." Naruto didn't waste time and found out about it early on.

He had been to the Land of Hot Springs and knew that these large black fish could be sold. This was also what he wanted, so he took the initiative to guide them to complete this task as if they were playing house.

This process is a psychological practice that allows them to quickly get out of the fighting life at the evil god's altar and adapt to the outside world.

He placed the fish caught by Ziyanghua together with the basket of fish from Kurama Yakumo, leaned against the shore and soaked them in the flowing water. The water was gurgling, and the moonlight was as clear as the water.

"Things are rare and valuable, so they will definitely fetch a good price."

Chapter 458: There is no such thing as green tea, this is clearly a considerate and good sister

The river water was icy cold. Kurama Yakumo stood there, staring at the fish basket hanging by the river for a while.

“Where to sell it?”

"In the capital of Yu-no-Kuni, there's a spontaneously formed vegetable stall at the foot of the city wall," Naruto said. "We need to sell all of them before dark tomorrow afternoon, otherwise it will be difficult to sell them."

"Master knows so much." Kurama Yakumo added at the right time, very deliberately, but Naruto liked it very much.

After all, who doesn’t like a girl who has eyes only for you? There is no such thing as green tea. This is clearly my considerate and good sister.

What's more, Kurama Yakumo only did this to him, which made it even more enjoyable.

Hydrangea froze completely, and turned to look at Kurama Yakumo in disbelief. How could he say such words?

"Ahem, let's find a place to rest and talk about it tomorrow." Naruto said, directly changing the subject. It was already late at night.

"Yeah." The two women responded.

At night, Hydrangea and Yakumo Kurama slept in the same tent. After washing up, the tent became quiet.

"Hey, are you asleep?"

"No." Kurama Yakumo turned his head.

"Are you really going to sell fish tomorrow?" Hydrangea turned over and looked at Kurama Yakumo, "I really don't understand what this person is doing."

"I think he's just going to sell fish." Kurama Yakumo hesitated for a moment and stared blankly at the tent ceiling. "Maybe he's just taking us out for some fun because of his conscience."

"This guy is so awkward." Hydrangea curled her lips. "He was the one who threw us in here to train us, and now he doesn't want us to work for him so quickly."

"Who knows." Kurama Yakumo responded.

Late at night, the two women gradually fell asleep.

In the other tent, Naruto didn't think too much of it. He was just taking a break from his busy schedule to do some team building for the employees, giving them a break and preventing them from going all out.

After all, they had just emerged from a day-and-night battle, and the sight of blood might have made them lose their temper. Perhaps he was overthinking it, and this kind of team-building could be omitted.

But Naruto has always been a careful thinker and doesn't like to gamble. He would rather waste some time than miss the first opportunity, as it would be even harder to succeed after alerting the enemy.

He wasn't coming to Iwagakure to carry a bag of rice upstairs this time; he was planning to drag Ōnoki's only beloved child, the Tsuchikage princess, into the water. He wanted to cause chaos, not a riot.

The plan was to let Yakumo Kurama and Hydrangea attack the Iwagakure Village, and he would take advantage of the chaos to take Kurotsuchi away and make him his own lackey.

The next day, under the city wall of Yu Kingdom.

He clearly remembered the road on Tangzhiguo Street far away from the central area. After four o'clock in the morning and afternoon, people would set up stalls to sell fruits and vegetables.

Or fried snacks, fresh meat and fish.

Two years ago, he and the lustful Jiraiya had spent more than half a month hanging out in this area, taking baths, eating and drinking every day, which gave Jiraiya an extra expense.

They had been to this area under the city wall before, and it was bustling with people, ordinary people living on the outskirts of the capital. Occasionally, wealthy people would come here to buy some fresh meat and vegetables.

At nightfall, the fruit and vegetable stalls would be removed and more snack stalls would be set up. At that time, the flow of people surged, and the nearby villagers were shoulder to shoulder on the road.

The lights of the capital of Yunokuni were connected together, like a colorful ribbon. The bright light spread out into the distance, as if burning into the night sky.

Black carp is a wild fish, and is much more delicious than other fish whether it is used in soup or sliced.

As long as the price is not too high, there is no problem selling a fish at 60 taels. However, it is still a good deal to own a wild big snakehead fish for the price of a bowl of ramen.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the sunlight slanted and a shadow shrouded the city wall.

They weren't the first to arrive at the foot of the city wall. The flow of people wasn't very heavy at the moment, with only a few vendors moving about, chatting and chatting in the shadows, while carriages and horses slowly passed through the land beneath the wall.

"There aren't many people here!" Hydrangea shielded the non-existent sun with her hands and squinted her eyes to look around.

She was actually a little irritated. She hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and now there were people all around her. Even though her face was calm, she was actually a little restless inside.

It’s too noisy. It’s really too noisy.

He could hardly suppress the urge to summon a spirit beast and kill all the people around him. It was like being at the altar of the evil god, killing all the enemies would bring peace to the surrounding area.

This allowed her to catch her breath.

"These people...are really..." Her voice was trembling slightly. She turned her head out of habit to look at Kurama Yakumo's condition and found that he had also quieted down.

With his head lowered, his muscles slightly tense, he felt Hydrangea's gaze. Kurama Yakumo raised his eyes slightly and met hers, his eyes already bloodshot.

The two women looked a little off when they saw someone, but Naruto was incredibly calm. He even found a corner to squat down and began to empty the basin as if nothing had happened.

Then, several baskets of fresh fish were dumped into the basin, creating a splash of water half a meter high. Naruto not only ignored the two people trembling slightly beside him, but even took out an oxygen generator.

Professional, so professional.

There were some fishmongers and meatmongers around, most of them with large basins. They had never seen Naruto in such a state. He took out the half-man-high oxygen generator and the overly fresh large black fish.

It's like installing a Ferrari engine on a tractor. This is... involution, right?

After doing all this, he looked around at the two women, and seeing that they were not in a good state, he did not say anything. He just took out the price list again, and it was 60 taels of Tang Kingdom currency.

The group of vendors watching the excitement nearby could no longer sit still and looked at each other. One of the leaders stepped forward and stood in front of the fish stall with a somewhat aggressive tone.

"You're selling this fish for sixty taels? Are you deliberately selling it at a loss?"

"What's wrong?" Naruto sat on the chair, squinting at the middle-aged vendor with a face full of flesh. "You live in the Land of Fire, so why do you care so much?"

His tone was calm and composed, and he looked at the ordinary person without a trace of emotion. He even had a smile on his face, looking at the person with a smile on his face.

However, this look had a hint of immaturity in the eyes of the middle-aged man. For an old hand like him, it was easy to control these young people.

"You can't sell it for sixty taels here. If you sell it, you'll ruin everyone's business." The middle-aged man threatened, "If you ruin everyone's business, don't sell it."

"It's my own fish. I can sell it however I want. I'll sell it for 60 taels, I'll sell it for 10 taels." Naruto looked up and said with a smile, "What can you do to me?"

"You!" The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect the young man to be so stubborn, and his anger instantly rose. "Are you blind? Who in this area doesn't know me, Shu Tai?"

"If you don't know me, go ahead and smash my stall if you dare." Naruto didn't seem to take the man seriously at all, and he instigated him step by step, "If you don't dare to smash it, go home and drink milk from your mother's arms!"

"Looking for death!" The middle-aged man was furious and raised his foot to kick the basin, but suddenly he met two bloodshot eyes, and his body suddenly turned cold from head to toe.

The almost tangible murderous aura calmed him down instantly, and all his anger vanished. He stood there trembling with fear, his whole body shivering.

He had no doubt he would be torn apart in the next moment. The imagined pain felt like a real thing. Even before it happened, he felt the pain all over his body.

"Not taking action?"

Naruto glanced at him and thought to himself what a pity, this little jerk was quite a coward. At the same time, he was also a little surprised that Hydrangea and Kurama Yakumo could be so patient.

"If you don't want to do anything, get out of here! Don't be an eyesore here!"

Gulp! The sweaty middle-aged man, as if granted amnesty, crawled away with his legs weakened. Even the most ruthless of men are afraid of ruthless ones. If he doesn't leave now, he'll be dead.

"Oh, boring." Naruto sighed and turned back to look at the two people standing next to him, "You two, stop looking so stern."

Hearing this, Hydrangea suddenly woke up and swallowed. Looking at the bustling crowd, a chill ran down her spine.

Just now, I seemed to be... almost out of control. I don't know why, but I just wanted to kill the middle-aged man in front of me.

"I'm sorry, master. It's all my fault. I was distracted just now." Kurama Yakumo said with a low smile, and walked over to massage Naruto's shoulders.

Hydrangea: “….”

She was speechless about this internal conflict.

As it was approaching four o'clock, more stalls appeared around. Passersby gradually began to gather, and after witnessing what had just happened, the vendors nearby clearly distanced themselves from the three of them.

The three of them guarded a stall, seemingly a small, isolated island on the main street of Konoha. Hydrangea also noticed something unusual and felt a bit mixed up.

"They seem afraid of us?" she asked.

"Of course I was scared. Just now you looked like you were going to eat them alive." Naruto said slowly, "But what surprised me is that you didn't get lost."

"It's my fault that my level has dropped recently. That guy didn't even get angry enough to flip the stall over. What do you think? If I had greeted his mother first, would he have flipped the stall over?"

Hydrangea: “……”

Kurama Yakumo: “……”

Seeing no one asking for the price, Hydrangea started to get impatient. Although she didn't really want to sell the fish, she had to sell one or two since she was there.
