Time flows like water, years fly by like a shuttle.

Two months have passed.

During this period, Naruto had already gone through five homeroom teachers, giving him a large wave of experience points.

Although each time it was due to Naruto's pranks that caused the teachers' mental fortitude to collapse.

But Naruto said: I'm also very innocent, every teacher is targeting me!

Today, a new homeroom teacher is coming.

As soon as the new homeroom teacher arrives, his prank experience points will be obtained immediately.

With another 500 experience points, he will possess the Mangekyo tonight.

This Mangekyo is really not easy to obtain!

For two months, Naruto had thought of countless ways but couldn't find a method to upgrade his Sharingan on his own.

This skill only had a small line of text explaining it: Only intense emotional fluctuations can upgrade this skill.

Are you kidding me?

What kind of emotional fluctuation counts as intense emotional fluctuation?

Naruto said: I can't do it.

Internally: He has recently mastered Wood Release and is cultivating other Chakra natures based on permutations and combinations, progressing rapidly, so happy he's lost his bearings.

However, this is still not considered a drastic fluctuation by the System.

Externally: Naruto is no longer that ostracized lonely child; he has friends.

The friendship between friends flows like a gentle stream, certainly not a drastic fluctuation.

Naruto couldn't find anything within himself that could generate intense emotional fluctuations.

His talent had encountered such a formidable opponent for the first time.

He was actually bound by rules.

Therefore, Naruto could only rely on experience points to stack levels.

For these two months, he's been diligently completing all sorts of side quests, just to obtain the Mangekyo as soon as possible.

Today is the day his dream comes true.

Early in the morning.

As soon as Naruto sat down, Choji came to him to buy chips and soda.

Choji is Naruto's biggest customer and also a good friend.

However, they are close like brothers but keep their accounts clear.

After selling some chips, and then collecting 'protection fees' from Sasuke, Hinata came to buy milk tea.

This girl has become much more determined since she fainted that time.

This change is very good.

However, every time this girl comes to buy milk tea, she avoids Naruto's gaze, her face blushing.

Once or twice, Naruto thought if there was any uncleaned booger on his face.

After many times, he started to suspect: Is Hinata into me?

Naruto even wanted to tell Hinata directly: Don't even think about it, it's impossible between us. I only like girls between 18 and 25 years old, you're too young, I have no interest at all.

But.

Naruto was afraid of being overly self-conscious.

If he said that, it would be too awkward.

Ding ling ling~

The class bell rang.

As soon as Iruka Umino pushed the door open, he was doused with a basin of water, chilling him to the bone.

Naruto's transformation and summoning combination Ninjutsu were simply inescapable and always effective.

"Who did this? Who played such a prank?"

"Teacher, it was Uzumaki Naruto."

Naruto gave the speaker a deep look.

You kid, it's always you.

"Naruto, you..."

Hearing that name, Iruka was initially very angry.

Uzumaki Naruto was the troublemaker of Class 1-A, who had driven away five homeroom teachers.

However, he suddenly remembered the method a seasoned teacher had told him before he arrived.

"As for Naruto, just deal with him as best you can. Focus on stability, don't stir up trouble. Kids, if you don't approach him, he'll naturally distance himself from you."

That person was an elite teacher who had trained a genius like Itachi Uchiha. He, Iruka, was just a new teacher. That teacher's methods should work, right?

With that thought, Iruka calmed down and walked to the podium to introduce himself.

"Good morning, I'll start with an introduction. From today on, I am..."

Naruto thought he was going to be made to stand in the corner, but it ended just like that?

Really?

"Ignoring the tactics?" Naruto muttered.

Fine, he accepted it.

Being ignored was better than being hated.

He got the experience points anyway.

"Choji."

"Yeah?" Choji, who was eating potato chips, looked at Shikamaru, who had called him.

"How long do you think this homeroom teacher will last?"

"Probably a very, very long time."

"Huh?" Shikamaru didn't believe it at all. The previous five had all been driven away, why was this one different?

"Wanna bet? Let's set the limit at three months." Shikamaru proposed.

Hearing this, Choji immediately agreed.

"Okay, the bet is the newly opened Old Daddy Fast Food. I want a family bucket."

Shikamaru didn't understand Naruto, but didn't Choji understand him?

Naruto's motto was 'I don't offend others unless they offend me.' Since the teacher wasn't bothering him, Naruto naturally wouldn't make a move either.

"Hey, you two, at least show me some respect. I'm right here," Naruto said speechlessly, looking at them.

The rest of the time passed peacefully, just as Choji had predicted.

After school.

Choji insisted on dragging Shikamaru to the Old Daddy Fast Food restaurant.

He said he wanted to reserve a family bucket. Naruto walked with them for half the way before parting ways to go home.

Old Daddy Fast Food, the name alone made it sound like Naruto's.

Except, he didn't open it himself.

No one would come to a shop he opened.

This shop was opened by a clone, using the Transformation Jutsu to impersonate a lonely old man nearby who was nearing the end of his life, and then using his identity.

This clone was a Wood Release clone, which had a physical body, was useful, and not easily detected.

The products were naturally the fried chicken series, which were collaborations with the game.

There was fried chicken, burgers, fries, soda, and the most classic family bucket.

These could all be bought in the shop, and the selling price was simply doubled.

After all, the prices in the shop were generally low.

The main branch of this 'Old Daddy Fast Food' currently had a net profit of around five thousand Ryo per day, a considerable profit.

If one shop made a net profit of 150,000 Ryo per month, then one hundred shops would earn 15 million Ryo per month!

This money would be enough to buy all nine Tailed Beasts!

Naruto calculated.

There were only a hundred shops, not even enough to cover the Land of Fire.

Additionally, Naruto discovered that these clones shared the same inventory as his main body.

In other words, items he placed in his inventory could be taken out by a clone in another location.

What could be called trans-dimensional teleportation?

With this, he didn't have to worry about opening shops in different regions.

The inventory's functions didn't stop there.

Items inside wouldn't spoil, and each slot could hold up to 9999 items, making it a dream warehouse.

Moreover, the game's built-in party chat was also a powerful tool for commerce. It required no external equipment and could directly ignore spatial barriers for face-to-face communication.

With this, even though clones couldn't use the shop, Naruto could place an order in the shop with just a message and put it in his inventory.

At this point, Naruto suddenly realized that this game had so many loopholes to exploit.

It was quite interesting.

However, to truly roll out the fast-food model, Naruto needed to first solve the problem of the clones' physical manifestation.

Otherwise, once it was unfurled, if he were attacked, it would only expose his Wood Release.

Naruto was trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and he had a feeling that the solution lay with Yang Release.
