Changing Up His Look

Inside the dilapidated house.

Uzumaki Naruto sat on the bed, his eyes closed, legs crossed, his consciousness projected onto the learning display.

"One million Ryo!"

"I'll buy two Taijutsu Training first!"

With the one million Ryo from the shop owner, Uzumaki Naruto didn't hesitate to choose to improve his physical constitution.

"Taijutsu Training" on the display gradually turned gray as two months' worth of memories flooded into Uzumaki Naruto's mind.

In these memories, Uzumaki Naruto transformed into Rock Lee, undergoing brutal and cruel hellish Taijutsu Training.

The memory transfer ended.

Uzumaki Naruto could clearly feel his physical fitness significantly improving, his previously scrawny body gradually becoming stronger.

He reached out and grabbed one corner of the wooden table.

With just a slight effort from Uzumaki Naruto, the entire wooden table was lifted with one hand.

With a "snap!"

The rotten wooden table broke, and two of its legs snapped off as it fell to the ground.

"Hey, Kurama, what do you think of my physical fitness now!?"

Uzumaki Naruto asked the Nine-Tails inside him.

The Nine-Tails lazily opened its eyes, snorted, and disdainfully replied, "Weak!"

"Still as weak as a bug. If I were to go out, a single sneeze could blow you hundreds of meters away."

After a bit of mockery, the Nine-Tails still gave an objective answer.

"It's just the physical fitness of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid, pathetically weak, but quite good for your age."

Uzumaki Naruto wasn't discouraged.

After all, years of malnutrition had ravaged his body. Reaching an adult's level was already quite satisfactory to Uzumaki Naruto.

He looked back at the display.

This time, Uzumaki Naruto wanted to purchase Kunai Training.

Don't let the anime fool you into thinking kunai are useless; that's just in the anime. In reality, kunai are truly formidable weapons.

They can be used as blades for close combat or thrown as projectiles, making them incredibly versatile.

"Purchase Kunai Training three times!"

One month's worth of Kunai Training memories flowed into Uzumaki Naruto's mind.

In that month of memories, Uzumaki Naruto stood on the training ground, constantly throwing kunai, and using kunai for close-quarters blade combat...

The memory transfer ended.

Uzumaki Naruto flipped his hand, and a black kunai appeared in his grip, wriggling like a nimble black fish.

He casually flicked his wrist.

The black kunai became a black streak.

"Clang!!!"

The black kunai embedded itself firmly in a small black dot in the center of the doorframe.

Uzumaki Naruto showed a slight smile, walked over, and pulled the kunai out. He had a premonition that this wasn't his current limit.

Eight!

He could throw eight kunai simultaneously, ensuring both precision and undiminished power.

"I need to buy some Kunai…"

"Hmm… yeah… and another Weapon Mode…"

The next day.

Uzumaki Naruto woke up early. After washing up, he ate breakfast at Ichiraku Ramen and headed to Konoha Village's bustling marketplace.

"Sir, I'll take that light orange short-sleeved top."

"Sir, please wrap up that light red cloak for me."

"Sir, let me try on these pants."

"Sir, please cut my hair and try to make it as soft as possible."

With money in hand, there was no panic in his heart.

Although Uzumaki Naruto only had 49,900 Ryo left after yesterday's purchases from his initial million, combined with his previous savings, he still had roughly 80,000 Ryo.

That was equivalent to eight months' worth of Uzumaki Naruto's living expenses, more than enough for him to spruce himself up.

He changed out of his drab yellowish-brown clothes, putting on his newly bought clothes and pants, and even applied red eyeshadow around his eyes.

Looking at the young man in the mirror, Uzumaki Naruto's face broke into a gentle smile.

Clothes make the man, a saddle makes a horse.

I should look pretty harmless now, right?!

"Oh right, Kunai, I need to buy some Kunai…"

Uzumaki Naruto tapped his head, almost forgetting the most important thing.

"Sir, give me ten Kunai."

Uzumaki Naruto called out to the owner behind the counter.

The weapon shop owner looked up, and his face immediately fell when he saw Uzumaki Naruto. He said with disgust, "Ten thousand Ryo each. If you can afford it, pay up. If not, get lost."

Uzumaki Naruto chuckled softly.

"Ten thousand!?"

"Aren't normal Kunai usually five hundred to a thousand Ryo?"

The weapon shop owner took a puff from his cigarette and sneered, "That's for others. Your price is ten times more than theirs."

Uzumaki Naruto tilted his head slightly, looking at the fur coat worn by the shop owner. A spark appeared on his right index finger, and with a flick, the spark drifted lightly onto the weapon shop owner's clothes.

Completely oblivious, the weapon shop owner impatiently cursed, "Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?"

Uzumaki Naruto's expression remained unchanged as he quietly said, "Burn!"

"BLAZE!!!"

The spark on the weapon shop owner's clothes instantly exploded, igniting a raging inferno. The flames were immense, nearly consuming the shop owner within two seconds.

"Ahhh!!!"

The weapon shop owner screamed, rolling on the ground in pain, attempting to extinguish the flames.

However, things did not go as planned.

Rolling around not only failed to put out the fire but also set the surrounding shelves ablaze.

While the shop owner shrieked and wailed, Uzumaki Naruto walked into the shop and grabbed several Kunai from the counter.

He got the Kunai without spending a single Ryo.

He still had about 40,000 Ryo left.

Uzumaki Naruto thought of Little Hinata, who was shy, and a barely perceptible smile touched his lips. He went straight to a flower shop:

"Sir, give me a bouquet of lilies!"

A bustling young woman appeared in the flower shop, responding in a flustered voice.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll just put this bouquet of light chrysanthemums… huh?!!"

The light-haired girl held the light chrysanthemums in her hand, frozen in place, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Uzumaki Naruto outside.

Uzumaki Naruto's eyes showed surprise.

"Yamanaka… Ino!?"

Yamanaka Ino instinctively let go of the flowers and covered her mouth, looking at Uzumaki Naruto in disbelief:

"You, you, you…"

"Are you… Uzumaki Naruto!???"
