Money, Money, Money

"Mmm..."

"That was delicious..."

Uzumaki Naruto finished the entire bento, letting out a sigh of relief as he leaned against the trunk of a large tree, his stomach bulging.

"Delicious. As expected of Little Hinata, everything she makes is especially tasty. It has a taste of Little Hinata."

Little Hinata's face grew even redder. She lowered her head, fidgeting with her fingers, and softly said, "Then I'll make more tomorrow, Naruto-kun. You should eat more, or you'll get hungry."

Uzumaki Naruto's eyelid twitched slightly. More?

Uzumaki Naruto stared at the three-tiered lunchbox, feeling his scalp tingle, but he really didn't want to disappoint Little Hinata, so he forced himself to agree.

"Okay, I'll definitely enjoy the delicious food Little Hinata brings."

A happy smile spread across Little Hinata's face, and she nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then Naruto-kun, I'll go home now. See you at school tomorrow. I'll make lots of delicious things for you."

Uzumaki Naruto smiled and nodded, watching Little Hinata walk away.

Once Little Hinata disappeared from sight, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but chuckle, patting his round stomach.

"I ate too much. Little Hinata sure can eat a lot. She really is a future big eater. It'll be tough to provide for Little Hinata."

"I have to start making money, or I won't even be able to support a wife."

Uzumaki Naruto perked up, clenched his fists, and closed his azure eyes. A black cabinet appeared in his mind.

I really want to buy all these Kekkei Genkai...

Unfortunately.

Only four of the Kekkei Genkai on the cabinet were discounted; the rest were all sold at their original price.

For example, Sharingan, Byakugan, Wood Release...

They all started at 500 million.

Kekkei Genkai like Rinnegan and Tenseigan were even more expensive, costing tens of billions.

Uzumaki Naruto pulled out his frog wallet and gently stroked its bulging belly.

"30,000 Ryo. I saved for three years, every single penny scraped together..."

Exhaling, Uzumaki Naruto's expression returned to normal as he said, "Purchase Kekkei Genkai: Scorch Release!"

The moment his words fell, the flames representing Scorch Release on the cabinet gradually turned gray, indicating that Uzumaki Naruto had purchased this Kekkei Genkai.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Suddenly!!!

Uzumaki Naruto felt a burning sensation in his abdomen, as if a raging fire was consuming him, threatening to incinerate his entire body.

This process lasted for about half a minute.

After half a minute.

Uzumaki Naruto stared blankly at the flames rising from his hands.

"This is... Scorch Release!?"

The flames in his hands were like two suns, blazing fiercely, radiating intense heat, like the inferno of a crematorium.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, the air temperature soared above a hundred degrees, and the leaves above turned yellow, as if about to ignite.

"Finally... I have some strength..."

Uzumaki Naruto showed a hint of a smile.

He had transmigrated to this world six years ago, growing up in a hostile environment where everyone deliberately targeted him.

Even after entering the ninja academy, he couldn't access advanced ninjutsu.

Even in the future, when the other main characters mastered their family's secret techniques or ninjutsu, he would only have Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu to rely on.

But now... he finally had a bit of power for self-preservation.

Uzumaki Naruto tentatively moved the flames in his hands closer to a large tree.

"BOOM!!!"

A towering tree that four or five people couldn't encircle was instantly ignited, and scorching flames climbed up its trunk like fiery serpents.

The tree's trunk and branches were all engulfed in a massive, roaring fire in an instant.

"Not bad!"

Uzumaki Naruto smiled. With such intense heat, it was no wonder it could instantly incinerate a person into a dried corpse.

Before long.

Several villagers rushed over, and seeing the raging flames, they quickly used buckets of water to put out the fire.

It took nearly a hundred buckets of water to barely extinguish the tree's branches, but even then, the inside of the trunk was still burning fiercely.

"This is truly incredible. Such a huge fire ignited instantly... Did the tree spontaneously combust?"

Leaving Hokage Rock.

Uzumaki Naruto walked down the street towards the Forest of Death.

Villagers he encountered on the road all turned to look at Uzumaki Naruto, their eyes filled with disgust, whispering to each other.

"Why is that monster here?"

"So disgusting, look, he even has whiskers on his face..."

"Exactly, what's he doing out on the street for no reason? Just looking at him makes me sick..."

"Stay away from him, don't bother with him. That brat is a Fox Demon, it's best if he just dies quickly..."

"..."

Uzumaki Naruto's expression remained calm, his hands in his pockets, completely ignoring the surrounding voices.

He had been in this world for six years, and situations like today happened every single day.

He had long grown accustomed to living amidst malicious words.

Right now, he had no strength, so he could only let them insult and humiliate him freely.

But once he gained enough strength.

Every single one of those people, he wouldn't let them off. He would repay the humiliation he suffered a hundredfold.
