Chapter 3

Half a year has passed slowly....

Naruto looked at the fish in the bucket and swallowed his saliva. The living expenses given by the third generation were not enough for his daily life, and the people in the village hated him. Although the owner of Ichiraku Ramen often helped him, he could not get enough nutrition by eating ramen alone.

After learning chakra, coupled with his ability of God's reward for hard work, Naruto's physical strength far exceeded that of his peers, but Naruto did not show all his strength. The strength he usually showed was only about one tenth of his full strength.

This has already made the Anbu in the dark sigh at his genius.

""Fire escape, small fireball technique!"

He skillfully performed an E-level ninjutsu. Although it was a ninjutsu, it was only the size of a fist and was simply used for comedy. In fact, Naruto begged the Third Hokage for it.

The Third Hokage only gave Naruto this ninjutsu, which was similar to a play, on the grounds that ninjutsu was too dangerous, and required that only after attending the Ninja School would there be a special teacher to teach Naruto.

However, Naruto, through the ability of God rewarding hard work, has become extremely proficient in this small fireball technique. Naruto has even improved it to form a large fireball technique, which is slightly weaker than the Great Fireball. Although he has never seen a Great Fireball, he has seen the Great Fireball technique from the scenes of his previous life.

This fire escape, which is said to never burn people to death, actually can only burn masters. The Great Fireball Technique of the Uchiha clan is still very famous on the battlefield.

Naruto also slowly came to understand this world.

, more cruel than imagined, not all ninjas are the same as those seen in the original work, but more are some Genin.

Using Kagura's mind's eye, he can feel many sources of chakra.

The chakra of some Genin and Chunin is not even as good as Naruto's, and this is because Naruto has not refined the chakra much, but Naruto can already control the chakra in the body very easily.

If the Nine-Tails does not make trouble, Naruto estimates that his control over chakra is not less than that of Sakura when she just graduated.

As for Naruto's desire to conduct more in-depth chakra training, such as treading water and climbing trees, it is not realistic because Naruto has no one to teach him, but Naruto can do some simple control without being discovered by the Anbu.

Just like Naruto is now using the small fireball technique to grill fish, and sprinkled with a little homemade condiment from the knowledge of his previous life, it is simply delicious after taking a bite.

"Grilled fish skills +5!"

Thanks to the frequent hunting during this period, Naruto's body has grown very fast. Now he is nearly five years old and looks like a six or seven-year-old child. However, Naruto probably has more ability that is rewarded by hard work.

In the original work, Naruto was thin and short in the early stage, mainly because he often ate insufficient food and ate expired food. Now Naruto, who has an adult mind, naturally will not eat expired food.

Naruto, who was eating grilled fish, suddenly saw the Third Hokage coming over.

With a happy look on his face, he said:"Grandpa Third, are you here to give me living expenses?"

The Third Hokage:"......"

"I came to see how you are doing, Naruto! Are you grilling fish?"

The Third Hokage tried his best to show a kind face. Looking at the face of the Third Hokage, Naruto felt it was fake. Since he didn't come to give me living expenses, what are you doing here? Come to eat my food?

Humph! Don't think I don't know. I'm afraid my whereabouts here have been reported to you a long time ago. You even pretended to find me here by accident.

The Third Hokage grabbed the fish that Naruto was grilling without hesitation and took a bite. Well, it tasted quite good. I didn't expect Naruto to have such a skill.

"Naruto, why don't you go to the village and play with the kids?"

The third generation said with a kind look.

"Third-generation grandpa, the children in the village don’t like me, and they call me a demon fox, so I don’t like to go to the village to play. Third-generation grandpa is the best, he always gives me money and delicious food!"

Third-generation:"......"

Is this targeting my wallet?

"cough cough...Naruto, how about I send you to Ninja School next year? That way you can make a lot of friends."

"Really? Can I make a lot of friends? Forget it, I have a third-generation grandfather, which is enough! I want to be a great Hokage like the third-generation grandfather."

Naruto's face suddenly turned red, as if he was very excited.

"Hahaha! Naruto, it's very difficult to become a Hokage. Where the leaves of Konoha fly, the fire will never stop! After the leaves fall to the ground, they will nourish the roots and finally grow new buds...."

Hearing the Third Hokage say this, Naruto snorted inwardly,"Why have you, an old man, never been to the battlefield? You didn't make any moves after the Nine-Tails Rebellion was pushed out of Konoha. You are afraid of death. You said you were protecting the villagers and your offspring, so why did you send a few-year-old child to the battlefield?"

"Naruto! This is your living expenses. You must spend it sparingly. I will come to see you again after I leave."

The third generation left with a kind face, and before leaving, he gave the living expenses to Naruto. After all, he was Minato's child.

"There are actually two thousand yuan!"

Naruto was a little happy. With the previous fifteen hundred yuan, he already had three thousand five hundred yuan, and he could eat a few bowls of Ichiraku Ramen. After all, apart from Ichiraku Ramen, he had little use for his money.

After finishing the rest of the fish, Naruto happily picked up the bucket and went home. He went home very late because there were few people at this time, and he didn't want to see the disgusted eyes and deep malice of those ignorant villagers in the village. It was really hard for him to imagine how Naruto in the original work faced the tide of malice without turning evil.

The following days were spent in constant practice. As he grew older, Naruto began to try to develop some physical skills. Of course, most of them were hidden. He wanted to try and see if he could... Being able to develop the Six Styles of the Navy like in the pirate world, relying on the ability of God rewarding hard work, it is very likely to succeed.

Although it has not succeeded yet, his own strength has become much stronger.

But the proficiency in his mind is proving that his practice is possible. Naruto guessed that the Six Styles requires a very strong physical foundation, which is why he cannot succeed. His current physical strength is not enough.

Soon it was the end of the year, and Naruto went home after training as usual. It was already winter, and heavy snow covered the entire Konoha. The sky seemed a little dim, and it was already evening.

Suddenly several voices came into Naruto's ears:"Look, this monster, the eyes are actually white!"

"Let's hit her with stones, this white-eyed monster!"

Naruto looked in the direction of the voice, and saw three or four little boys surrounding a little girl. This scene seemed strangely familiar to Naruto.

Isn't this the scene in the original novel where Naruto was beaten badly when he was the hero saving the beauty?

"Hey! Stop it, all of you!"

Naruto ran up to them and said, he had to take care of this, after all, she was his future wife.

"It's this demon fox! Do you want to meddle in other people's business?"

"These two monsters are really a perfect match, one is a white-eyed monster and the other is a fox demon. Let’s teach this fox demon a lesson!"

Several others also echoed.

"I'll let you know why the flowers are so red!"

Naruto grinned and said.

His strong physical fitness made it easy for him to knock down these children who were two or three years older than him.

"Woo woo woo~Don’t hit me, I give up!"

"I'm looking for my mother~~~"

"The demon fox is going to eat people!"

A cry rang out, and several people ran away tumbling.
