I, Uzumaki Naruto, Can Become Stronger By Pretending

Naruto glanced at Uncle Ichiraku suspiciously, he ate a few more bowls of noodles, how could he increase the pretend value.

"Uncle, another bowl!"

【Ding--】

【Congratulations Host...】

Uncle Ichiraku's expression was a little stiff.

"Uncle, another bowl!"

【Ding--】

Uncle Ichiraku's expression was a little numb.

"..."

Naruto kept harvesting Uncle Ichiraku's pretend value until he couldn't eat it anymore.

It was getting dark gradually, Naruto had eaten many bowls of ramen, and the ramen bowls on the table were almost as tall as Naruto.

If you get close, you can still hear Uncle Ichiraku muttering almost collapsed: "Three days, five days, one week, all for nothing!"

"Uncle Ichiraku!" Naruto finished the last sip of noodle soup, put the bowl aside, and said contentedly, "I'm full!"

Uncle Ichiraku, with a numb expression, paused for making noodles for Naruto.

After a while, Uncle Ichiraku said with a trembling voice: "Naru... Naruto, to celebrate you passing the exam today, all your consumption today will be free."

"free?"

Naruto suddenly realized, and finally knew why the pretend value was generated.

But Naruto didn't intend to pay the money by himself from the beginning to the end. It was already dark, and the people he was waiting for were probably coming soon.

Uncle Ichiraku nodded with difficulty, the men spat and nailed each other, and they did what they said.

Naruto smiled and said, "But Uncle Ichiraku, someone else will treat me to dinner today!"

"Other people invite you, who is it?"

Uncle Ichiraku knew Naruto very early, not only knew that Naruto was an orphan, but also knew that Naruto had no relatives around him.

Naruto scratched his head and said uncertainly: "He's very busy, but he should be here soon, you'll know when he comes!"

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, a short and small old man slowly sat beside Naruto.

Uncle Ichiraku looked at Third Hokage in surprise: "Master Third Hokage!"

If there is anyone who has reigned the longest and is most loved by the villagers, it must be Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Third Hokage nodded to Uncle Ichiraku.

Seeing that the Third Hokage really came, Naruto secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he bet right!

He was originally a Jinchūriki with a sensitive identity, but his unusual behavior today, if nothing else happened, would definitely attract the attention of the Third Generation.

But he wasn't sure if Third Generation would look for him in person, but if he didn't go home in the middle of the night, but stayed outside, Third Hokage would most likely come to him in person.

Naruto looked at Third Generation with a smile: "Old man Third Generation, you are finally here!"

Third Generation was a little confused, how did Naruto know that he would come.

"You knew I was coming?" Third Generation asked.

Naruto asked: "If the old man from the Third Generation doesn't come, who will pay for the ramen I ate today?"

Just as Third Generation was about to speak, Naruto whispered, "Anyway, in this village, the only elder I know is the old man Third Generation!"

"well……"

Third Generation sighed, and his heart softened again.

Seeing that Third Generation didn't speak, Naruto continued to smile and said, "It's fine if you don't come. I'll drop out of school tomorrow and come to work at Uncle Ichiraku's shop. At least I can have enough food here."

Just as Third Generation was about to refute, they heard Naruto say: "In this way, you don't have to go home every day to drink expired milk and eat expired rice!"

"Are you full?" Third Generation reached out and touched Naruto's head.

Naruto dodges subconsciously, knowing too many things, he is destined not to be as heartless as Naruto in the original book.

Third Generation was stunned for a moment, but he didn't insist. Instead, he sighed and withdrew his hand.

Naruto patted his belly, and said with a smile: "It's only 80% full."

Third Generation asked kindly: "Remember the riverside where we ate grilled fish together?"

Naruto nodded, of course he remembered, this was one of the few colorful pictures in Naruto's childhood.

"I'll take you to eat grilled fish!"

Naruto followed behind Third Generation without refusing.

Third Generation asked: "Boss, how much!"

"A total of eighteen thousand!" Uncle Ichiraku said with a smile.

Third Generation endured the pain and paid the bill, and led Naruto to the river where they ate grilled fish for the first time.

When we reached the river, the Third Generation said nostalgicly, "The last time we came together, it was before your Jōnin's school!"

Naruto looked at the sparkling river and nodded perfunctorily.

"You seem to know that I will come to see you today?" Third Generation asked again.

Naruto looked at Third Generation squarely, and then said "Hmmm" before turning his head away.

Third Generation looked at Naruto and frowned. The Naruto he remembered was lively and active, but not what he is now.

"Has a stranger touched you?" Third Generation's tone was a little serious.

Naruto said in a complicated tone: "A stranger, maybe!"

Third Hokage's heart sank, looking at Naruto's appearance, it was sure that someone had contacted Naruto in private.

But what makes Third Hokage puzzled is, since that person can touch Naruto under Kakashi's nose, why doesn't he just take Naruto away.

When Third Generation was thinking wildly, Naruto suddenly asked: "Old man Third Generation, you have a grandson, let's call him Konohamaru!"

"Yes."

Naruto continued asking, "Is Konohamaru's parents still alive!"

Third Hokage, not knowing what Naruto meant, continued to nod.

Naruto said in a deep voice, "But my parents are dead!"

【Ding--】

【Congratulations to Host, the pretend value is +5.】

Naruto was stunned for a moment, he was just laying the groundwork and hadn't started to pretend yet, so why did he get the pretend value from Third Generation.
