Hinata: I'm also saving money, can I support Naruto-kun?

"He won!!"

"He actually won!!!"

"That's incredible, Uzumaki Naruto actually won!!!"

"…"

Many of the genin on the training ground gasped in surprise.

It was already impressive that Uzumaki Naruto could use the Kunai Throwing Technique.

But not only did he beat Uchiha Sasuke, He even beat Uchiha Itachi, the genius who graduated from the Ninja Academy in just six months, which Itachi himself couldn't achieve.

The kunai flew through the air, clashing repeatedly.

They couldn't even see clearly, and they absolutely didn't think those kunai could hit the target.

But in the end, it was a huge surprise.

Not only did both of their kunai hit the target, but Uzumaki Naruto was also the one who won.

"Unbelievable!"

Nara Shikamaru looked at Uzumaki Naruto in astonishment:

"Uchiha Itachi, he's a genius from the Uchiha Clan. They say he already has the strength of a Special Jonin. It's incredible that Uzumaki Naruto's Kunai Throwing Technique could surpass him."

Inuzuka Kiba nodded, "Exactly, it's truly incredible."

Akimichi Choji mumbled while eating potato chips, "Naruto won so much Ryo this time, he's really amazing…"

Yamanaka Ino stared at Uzumaki Naruto with lovesick eyes.

"He's so handsome!!!"

"How did I never notice before that Uzumaki Naruto is so handsome, strong, and gentle? He's practically my perfect ideal man…"

Haruno Sakura also stared at Uzumaki Naruto with lovesick eyes.

"He's really… so handsome…"

Hyuga Hinata's little face was flushed, and she clasped her hands in front of her chest, softly saying, "Go, Naruto-kun…"

"…"

"Truly amazing!!!"

Iruka, the teacher, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He knew Uchiha Itachi better than these students. According to rumors, Uchiha Itachi might join the Anbu next year.

What kind of place was the Anbu?

It was a unit directly under the Hokage. Besides geniuses and strong individuals, no one else was qualified to join.

The fact that Uzumaki Naruto could defeat Uchiha Itachi, even if it was just in Kunai Throwing Technique, showed that Uzumaki Naruto had excellent Taijutsu talent.

"Naruto, when did you practice the Kunai Throwing Technique!?"

Iruka couldn't help but ask.

Uzumaki Naruto smiled, pretending to think for a moment, and decided to exaggerate the time a bit.

"Probably… about a year ago!?"

"My Ninjutsu isn't very good, so I wanted to focus on Taijutsu."

Iruka was greatly shocked after hearing this.

"One year, you reached this level in just one year?"

Uzumaki Naruto smiled helplessly; it seemed he had still understated it.

Iruka looked at Uzumaki Naruto with burning eyes.

A genius!!!

This was absolutely a genius!!!

Iruka could assert that even if Uzumaki Naruto couldn't learn Ninjutsu, his impressive Taijutsu talent alone would be enough for him to become a powerful individual.

***

At noon.

Uzumaki Naruto leaned against a large tree, his mouth twitching slightly, looking somewhat helplessly at the huge bento box in front of him.

"This… it's almost half a meter tall, isn't it!?"

Little Hinata, her face red, opened the bento box, revealing a dazzling array of delicious food inside.

Fried tempura.

Sushi, rice balls.

Pan-fried dumplings, takoyaki, miso soup.

Dango, red bean mochi, and three-color dango.

There were even four huge bowls of extra-large tonkotsu ramen.

The more Uzumaki Naruto looked, the more panicked he became. It wasn't from craving, but from being scared. Was Little Hinata trying to raise him like a pig?

"Little Hinata, these... are for two people, right!?"

Little Hinata blushed and shook her head.

"No, they're all for Naruto-kun."

Uzumaki Naruto: "..."

Uzumaki Naruto swallowed and asked dryly, "Little Hinata, um, do you eat this much every day?"

It was truly hard to imagine that a person's appetite... could really be this big?

Little Hinata shook her head and whispered, "I also need to eat two more bowls of ramen."

Uzumaki Naruto: "..."

Little Hinata looked at the praying Uzumaki Naruto in confusion and asked softly, "Naruto-kun, are you praying before your meal?"

Uzumaki Naruto nodded blankly.

"Yeah, I'm praying that Lord Yama doesn't take me away with this meal."

Half an hour later.

Uzumaki Naruto lay on Little Hinata's lap, staring blankly at the sky.

After this battle, Uzumaki Naruto clearly understood that a person's limits could be broken, such as their appetite...

"Burp~~"

Uzumaki Naruto let out a long burp.

Little Hinata's face was flushed as she stroked Uzumaki Naruto's hair and softly said, "Naruto-kun, you won so much money. Will the older brother from the Uchiha Clan really give you the money?"

Uzumaki Naruto's expression was lazy. He turned his head and said, "How could that be possible?"

"That's over a hundred million. Even if you sold the Uchiha Clan, you might not be able to gather that much money."

Little Hinata gently turned Uzumaki Naruto's head back, her little face red as she asked, "Really!? Then why did you gamble with them, Naruto-kun!?"

Uzumaki Naruto looked at Little Hinata with a hint of suspicion.

Why did he feel... Little Hinata was being a bit serious...?

But Uzumaki Naruto didn't pay too much attention to it and casually said, "If I didn't win, they wouldn't give me a single Ryo. This way, at least I can get some of it."

Little Hinata nodded, a little disappointed.

"I see..."

Uzumaki Naruto grew even more suspicious and couldn't help but say, "Hey, Little Hinata, though it might be my imagination, are you... a little disappointed!?"

Little Hinata fiddled with her fingers, her little face red, not daring to look into Uzumaki Naruto's eyes. She softly whispered, "Didn't Naruto-kun say he wanted me to support him?"

"I'm also working hard to save money, Naruto-kun. Now I have over a hundred thousand Ryo. Can I support you?"

Uzumaki Naruto: "..."
