Konoha: I, Naruto! Eat the Mori-Mori Fruit!

"I'm sorry, I apologize for what Naruto did, I hope you can forgive him."

"In addition, the village will be responsible for the losses caused by Naruto in the future."

Hearing this, the mask shop owner was stunned.

But then he hurriedly thanked him.

"Thank you, Hokage!"

"I was wrong in this matter, and I will never do it again!"

"As for the compensation, it's just a few worthless masks, there is no loss."

A man of insight is a hero, he was already guilty, how dare he take the compensation.

But soon, he came to his senses.

What?

The losses caused by the fox demon will be borne by the village?

Doesn't that mean that if he knows that we won't help in the future, he will make trouble everywhere and cause a lot of property losses...this?

"You can't say that, one thing is one thing, what you should give will still be given."

Ninja Kuma has a kind smile on his face, as if he cares about you.

"Okay... Thank you, Lord Hokage. I... I'll go back first."

The owner of the mask shop sighed inwardly. He would have to talk to everyone about this matter when he got back.

After the boss left, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and asked the Anbu ninja to go back and continue to monitor Naruto.

He knocked on the table and frowned.

"He has already taken action... It's faster than expected."

"That's right, he's just a child, he can't hold his temper... It's time to meet him."

Almost everyone in the village hates him.

This is when he is most helpless.

The timing of his appearance is just right.

While thinking, the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open.

"Hiruzen!"

"Look at what that Jinchūriki has done!"

"I've said it before, if Jinchūriki is not handed over to the Root, there will definitely be accidents."

"He has already shown signs of going berserk, even to the villagers..."

Before Shimura Danzo finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted his spell.

"Danzo, I told you that you don't need to get involved in this matter."

"I'm the one sitting here."

"Hiruzen, you will regret it!"

Well, he was close to the enemy, what else could he do?

......

On the other side, Naruto took out his fishing gear and started fishing for the first time.

In addition, he was looking for wild vegetables by the river.

He was not worried about being seen by the Anbu ninjas.

After all, he had been to the vegetable market.

The reason was sufficient, and besides, this little thing would not attract too much attention from the ninja bear.

He was not a fisherman, and it was impossible for him to wait patiently.

He put the fishing rod aside, rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water to catch snails.

At the same time, the sand under his feet in the water instantly became elemental.

With the sound of water and the water covering, he would not be exposed.

'Try the ability of the Sen Sen fruit to absorb nutrients. '

With a thought, some roots like tree roots grew out of his feet and inserted into the soil.

Soon, it spread to the big tree by the river.

Naruto tried to connect his roots with the roots of the big tree.

His hands kept moving, as if he was really concentrating on finding things like river clams.

‘Connected! ’

‘Absorb! ’

Buzz——

The next moment, Naruto felt the soles of his feet getting hot.

A warm current flowed into his limbs.

But he only absorbed it for a few seconds, and then he stopped absorbing it.

He had been secretly observing the changes in the big tree, and found that in just a few seconds, a few more dry leaves appeared on the big tree.

‘What a domineering absorption ability! ’

‘The hunger in my stomach is gone. ’

‘Hmm... is it an illusion? Why do I feel like the big tree is saying, please let me absorb more? ’

Shaking his head, Naruto retracted the roots that were absorbing nutrients.

He continued to walk slowly in the river.

One by one, the nutrients absorbed by Naruto made him feel warm and full of strength.

The bruises on his face also disappeared.

As a Jinchūriki, his strong recovery ability is not surprising.

"Have you taken the bait?"

Naruto was concentrating on picking wild vegetables and snails on the surface, secretly absorbing nutrients from the forest.

Looking up, he saw a fishing rod floating not far away.

"It's a big fish."

"I got a catch for the first time. It seems that I am still in the novice protection period."

Naruto hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the fishing rod.

Wow---

A big fish weighing more than one pound was caught.

Damn!

I am so strong!

It should be okay...

Although he doesn't fish often, Naruto still knows that a fish weighing more than one pound has a lot of strength in the water.

It doesn't matter. I'm the Jinchūriki anyway, and I have the physique of the Uzumaki clan. My father is the yellow flash of Konoha, so it's normal for me to be a little stronger.Sometimes, I have to sigh.

Some people fished for a whole day and didn't catch a single hair.

Some people caught a bucket full of fish for the first time.

The smallest one was three-finger-sized.

The more fish Naruto caught, the more he struggled.

He even fell into the river on purpose once.

Well, it made sense.

Soon, the sun went down.

Naruto also took out tools to make a fire and set up the fish that had been cleaned of its internal organs.

Sizzle--

It's different with seasonings, it smells delicious.

Naruto acted like he had been hungry for a day.

He scooped out a bowl of wild vegetable soup first and took a sip. It was good and sweet.

"Huh~Huh~"

He blew on the colorful grilled fish and took a bite.

Just then, an old face appeared from behind him.

Naruto was "startled".

He sat down on the ground.

Looking at the old man with a goatee in front of him.

He knew that this was the famous Ninja Bear in the ninja world.

"Who are you?"

Naruto had a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Ninja Bear showed a kind smile.

He said softly: "Don't panic, I'm just an old man passing by."

As he said that, he stood up and spread his hands to show that he had no hostility.

Suddenly, his nose moved and he looked at the sizzling grilled fish and wild vegetable soup on the side.

"Amazing, did you catch all these fish?"

Ninja Bear also noticed the water in the bucket on the side and couldn't help but praise.

Naruto turned the grilled fish over.

"There are not only mine in here, but also others'."

Meaning, I can't give it to you.

Still with a heavy sense of vigilance, that's right, it's normal to behave like this after encountering those things.

Ninja Bear chuckled and sat down.

"Oh, I haven't eaten grilled fish for a long time, um~ this soup smells really good."

Get away, you don't have a share!

"Grandpa, I'll give you this~"

Naruto picked up the grilled fish and smiled innocently.

"Hahaha, really, thank you."

Ninja Kuma took the grilled fish and did not forget to praise it again.

"Hey, it looks really delicious."

Naruto's mouth curled up a little, "This is the fish I caught, it must be delicious."

What kind of smile is considered a silly smile?

Naruto didn't know, so he could only pretend to be very happy.

This level is very important and must be passed smoothly.

If nothing unexpected happens, this old man will restore his identity later.

Konoha MLM leader!

Ninja Kuma chatted with Naruto about some family matters.

Throughout the whole process, Naruto was very happy and active.

At the end, Ninja Kuma stood up and patted his pants.

"I'm old, I'm a little sleepy, let's stop here today, thank you for your hospitality."

"Grandpa, are you leaving?"

Ninja Kuma counted to three in his heart and looked down.

Sure enough, the child's face showed a look of loss.

"Hahaha, you can't bear to leave grandpa?"

"Okay, then I'll stay with you for a while."

Naruto immediately smiled again.

He also said: "Grandpa is so nice~"

"No one has ever been willing to talk to me, only grandpa doesn't hate me."

Hearing this, Ninja Kuma smiled.

The time is ripe.

He sat next to Naruto and looked up at the stars in the sky.

"Look at those stars."

Naruto looked along his finger.

He was amazed at this look.

He had forgotten how many years it had been since he saw the night sky full of stars.

Ninja Kuma was still talking to himself.

"Those stars are the same as the sun we see."

"The sun... Is the sun the brightest and largest one in the daytime?"

"Yes, this world is very big, so big that it has no boundaries."

"Wow, grandpa, you know so much!"

When Ninja Kuma heard this, his mouth was harder than AK.

He turned his head and looked at Naruto and said:

"In front of this vast world, the existence of human beings is too small."

"And the troubles in the hearts of such small people are also insignificant."

"Grandpa, looking at you like this, I feel so familiar, very similar to a person on a big stone."

Ninja Kuma followed his words and said:

"Then do you know who is carved on the big stone?"

Naruto shook his head, "I don't know."

"You are still young, it's normal that you don't know."

"Everyone carved on it is recognized by everyone in the village. They are all heroes who protect Konoha."

"..."

Ninja Kuma began to instill the will of fire, and Naruto listened to it with one ear and out with the other.

"Grandpa is really awesome~"

"That's me.But he is the most powerful one among the four!"
