Hokage.
This is also a world where Ninjutsu is ubiquitous.
Convenient and powerful Ninjutsu has long been accepted.
Land of Fire.
Konoha Village, a profound silence.
The Hidden Village is located in the most fertile land in the Ninja World, bustling with people coming and going.
However, amidst all the prosperity, there are also countless shadows, secretly festering.
And so, the story begins.
***
Konoha Village, a profound silence.
On the Fourth Hokage Rock.
"Hey, Kurama, you know a lot. I bet you've seen plenty of powerful Kekkei Genkai, right?"
Golden spiky hair, azure eyes, six whisker marks on his face, dressed in a dull yellow outfit.
Under the sun, a gaunt young boy was lazily leaning against the rock face, his hands clasped behind his head.
He mumbled to himself:
"The Kekkei Genkai I really like are Shikotsumyaku and Crystal Release, but neither of those is suitable for Konoha Village. Kurama, do you have any good suggestions?"
"..."
"So annoying!"
"Then Scorch Release. I heard from Minato Namikaze that Konoha Village's ninja suffered a lot from Scorch Release during the war."
"That Kekkei Genkai could actually evaporate all the blood from a person's body. Many Konoha ninja died. That must be a very powerful Kekkei Genkai."
The blond boy smiled slightly: "Right? I told you six months ago this Kekkei Genkai was strong."
"..." Kurama was speechless.
Yes.
This blond boy was Uzumaki Naruto.
However, he wasn't the naive, romantic, sunny boy from the original story.
He had transmigrated into this world at birth and had been here for six years now.
He carried a System everywhere he went.
Money System
As the name suggests, by spending money, you can acquire all abilities from the Hokage world.
The Uchiha Clan's Sharingan. The Senju Clan's Wood Release. The Kaguya Clan's Shikotsumyaku.
However, possessing such abilities required money.
The savings he had accumulated since childhood were only enough to buy a discounted version of a Kekkei Genkai.
"I still need to make money," he thought, gazing into the distance.
His monthly stipend was ten thousand Ryo, which seemed like a lot, but in reality, it couldn't buy much.
In Konoha Village, the cheapest food was noodles.
A bowl of noodles cost sixty Ryo. If he ate noodles for three meals a day, his monthly stipend would be five thousand four hundred Ryo.
He would have four thousand six hundred Ryo left, and he still needed to nourish his body properly.
Every so often, he would go to the supermarket to buy milk and vegetables, and he would eat meat once a month.
It had taken him six years to barely afford a beginner's discounted Kekkei Genkai.
"Honestly, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki really isn't well-regarded in Konoha Village."
Uzumaki Naruto said with a half-smile, "Kurama, what do you think my experiences would be titled if they were written into a book?"
Surviving in the Wilds of Konoha, How to Save Money from the Jaws of Poverty, How to Ensure Normal Physical Development Without Starving.
Kurama wagged its tail and said grumpily, "I could lend you my Chakra so you could go rob someone."
Naruto shook his head, a wry smile on his face. "The time isn't right."
"Naruto... are you here!?"
A gentle voice broke the conversation between Uzumaki Naruto and Kurama.
Naruto grinned, walked to the edge of the Fourth Hokage Rock, and looked down.
"Hinata, what are you doing here?!"
A girl with long, pale purple hair, white eyes, wearing a white shirt and ninja pants, was holding a lunchbox, a slight blush on her face.
"Naruto, today, today I made a bento again..."
Little Hinata looked shyly at Naruto, a picture of bashfulness.
Naruto smiled faintly, took a step forward, and walked on the nearly ninety-degree vertical surface.
Little Hinata immediately covered her mouth, looking anxiously at Uzumaki Naruto in the sky.
Uzumaki Naruto landed steadily on the ground and came to little Hinata's side, reaching out to pat her head.
"Little Hinata is the best, I like little Hinata the most, I'll eat all the bento."
Upon hearing this, Hinata's face immediately turned crimson, and she practically melted onto the ground.
"Naruto..."
Naruto chuckled and helped Hinata to a chair.
Although he had spent so much time with little Hinata, her personality remained shy; she would always get flustered when talking to him.
"Naruto, I've prepared a delicious feast for you, see if it's good?"
Hinata said to Naruto as she opened the lunchbox.
Uzumaki Naruto looked at the lunchbox with a smile.
Just then, his eye twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but swallow.
Ten rice balls!
Two cups of milk!
Three portions of high-quality sashimi!
Six servings of tempura!
Various fruits, more than ten kinds in total.
Naruto smiled at little Hinata, then pointed at the lunchbox and said, "This is... for both of us, right?"
Little Hinata shook her head, her face flushed.
"I already ate at home, this is specially for Naruto."
"..." Naruto was stunned.
He glanced at the lunchbox in little Hinata's hands, then poked little Hinata's cheek with his finger, saying with a smile, "Little Hinata, do you eat the same things as me at home too?"
The blush on little Hinata's face deepened. She shyly lowered her head and whispered, "Mm, but there were two extra rice balls. I'll make more for Naruto tomorrow."
"..." Naruto was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that little Hinata might become someone who eats even more than the Akimichi Clan in the future.
A brief silence.
Uzumaki Naruto picked up the bento with a look of grim determination.
"Eat up!"
