Naruto, you are a born devil!

The people who were swept by the gaze woke up from their dreams.

They immediately moved their feet and dispersed, each walking their own way, as if nothing had happened before.

Soon, Naruto found Hinata standing there.

And the maid next to Hinata.

Then, Naruto stared at the pretty maid in the maid outfit.

Dark green ear-length hair, slender figure, and white eyes like Hinata.

The conservative dark long-sleeved and long-trouser home kimono, wrapped in the white maid outfit, had an inexplicable bitterness.

Coupled with the disgusted look, a vivid image was gathered.

"This maid sister~, she looks so pretty..."

"Hey, Uzumaki Naruto." Saeko's voice suddenly appeared beside him, pulling Naruto's attention back.

"Hinata-sama, let's leave quickly..."

Hinata Xia, who didn't want to stay here for a second, immediately pulled Hinata away.

"Naruto-kun~."

Hinata was full of disappointment.

She kept looking back, and her eyes were full of the scene of the Uchiha girl and Naruto talking and laughing...

...

"Uzumaki Naruto, how did you get into this?"

Sako, who didn't know the truth, didn't know what happened to Naruto.

She jumped down from the electric pole with unusual agility, from which we can see the difference between the children of the Uchiha clan and others.

"Give it to you."

Naruto didn't answer directly, but raised his right hand and handed the mask to Sako.

"Humph~."

Sako tilted her head proudly, not caring at all.

"I didn't help you to get your thanks...I just want to repay you for the favor you did last time..."

Uchiha never owes favors to others.

Even if it was Uzumaki Naruto's wishful thinking that helped me out last time, I would still repay it.

"Oh, friend." Naruto, his eyes narrowed into a line, nodded slowly.

"What friend...?"

Sako glanced over.

"To be my friend, you need to pass many tests to be qualified! Not everyone is qualified to be my companion!"

Sako's eyes flickered with expectation.

Because she remembered what Shisui said in the morning.

If she could find a suitable friend, then ninja training would not be a problem.

Thinking of Naruto's "powerful flying", Sako felt that this yellow-haired guy was still okay at first glance.

Soon.

Sako took Naruto to go shopping.

She helped Naruto, and she paid off the favor, strictly speaking, she still owed him.

So it's a waste to use a tool.

Sako, who started to purchase vegetables and fruits, immediately asked Naruto to carry large and small bags.

Although Naruto did it obediently, a small problem still occurred during the purchase process.

"How did you get so hated by people?"

Sako sighed.

She found that no matter where she went, the villagers avoided Naruto as if he were a plague.

Even the puppies on the side of the road! They stayed away from Uzumaki Naruto!

‘He looks silly... People and animals don’t think stupidity is contagious, do they? That’s amazing.

Saeko complained in her heart.

She didn’t know.

Naruto was disliked by people because of the legend of the demon fox.

As for the animals on the roadside, the dogs and cats, they smelled the chakra on Naruto from afar and immediately walked away.

In other words, Naruto, who was harmless in Saeko’s eyes, was a living devil in the eyes of Konoha residents and animals.

“Maybe it’s because I’m too upright. Upright people are often excluded by the mob...”

Naruto shook his head and said something that made Saeko stunned.

Because Saeko didn’t expect Naruto to say such a philosophical word.

“Too upright... mob...”

Although she was still young, the smart Saeko also found that the Uchiha Police Department was a job that people could easily stay away from.

In addition, the Uchiha clan is an "elite clan".

The word "rabble" really touched Saeko's heart.

"Okay, Uzumaki Naruto, you passed my preliminary assessment..."

Saeko crossed her arms and looked at Naruto, who was covered with bags, and initially recognized his qualifications.

But to truly become her friend, she still needs to go through many tests.

"Heh..."

The Nine-Tailed Fox, lying behind the iron railing, sneered at this.

"Children playing house..."

In its view, making friends is all children's play.

"Uzumaki Naruto, I doubt your motives and purposes."

Naruto: "Don't wrongly accuse me, stinky fox, I really just want to make friends with people of the same age~."

However, Naruto's seemingly silly answer, the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't believe a single punctuation mark!

When she returned to the entrance of the Uchiha clan's residence, Saeko stopped.

"Okay, give me the stuff."

After taking the large and small bags of purchases from Naruto, Saeko carried the heavy items and walked inside.

"Today's purchases were really easy... So... When will this guy ask my name?"

While walking and thinking, Sako thought that Naruto would ask her name for the second time.

"Should I tell him?"

However, until Sako walked a long way, she did not hear Naruto calling her.

"Hey!"

Sako immediately stopped and turned around.

What she saw was... Naruto's back as he left, scratching his head as he walked.

"Uzumaki Naruto... is really a fool~!"

...

In the afternoon.

Sitting under the eaves of her house, Sako first welcomed her brother who came home.

"Brother, you are back~."

Sako immediately stood up and greeted him, her eyes shining.

Itachi, whose bad mood of the day disappeared because he saw his lovely sister, couldn't help but smile.

Soon... Mikoto's return foreshadowed the preparation of dinner.

"Mom, I'll help you."

Mikoto walked into the kitchen and looked at her daughter who came in to help, and couldn't help but touch her head.

Sako began to wash and pick vegetables.

On the other side, Mikoto couldn't find the matches: "Sako... did you forget to buy matches today?"

"How is that possible!"

Sako immediately opened the convenient bag.

It contained the kitchen utensils purchased today.

"Huh?"

Sako looked around and indeed found no trace of matches.

"I clearly bought them..."

...

The night climbed high into the sky.

Another day of nightlife in Konoha has arrived.

The prosperity that is no less than that during the day appeared in the shopping street.

The cold wind blew, bringing a hint of chill, but it could not stop people's enthusiasm for shopping and playing.

Naruto sat on the slope of the roof of a shop, looking at the street scene below with an indifferent expression.

Everywhere he looked, there were people.

And soon, Naruto's eyes locked on a familiar shop.

It was...the mask shop.

Snap.

The thing tightly held in his left hand was the matches "borrowed" from Sako during the day.

The spiritual world.

The dark sewer became deeper and even twisted.

The rust even climbed up the sealed door, turning the brand new iron door into an ancient decayed creation.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, who noticed the changes in Naruto's heart, probably guessed what Naruto was going to do.

Nine-Tailed Fox: "Little brat...you..."

Chapter 12. Uzumaki Naruto? Naruto of the motherland!

At the same time, at the Uchiha clan's residence.

The Sako family finished today's dinner.

Itachi found that his sister seemed very excited today, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was even more obvious.

Did something interesting happen?

So, Itachi got up and called his sister to chat aside.

And Sako's special changes today naturally did not escape the eyes of her parents.

"Did Sako encounter something?" Mikoto looked at the backs of the brother and sister as they left.
