A Man Who Looked Just Like Shinpachi

"Naruto, were you moved just now?"

"Not at all, I'm even a little scared." He took a step back and said, "Can you be normal for once? You're being a little frightening."

"Is it because I'm more like her that you'll like me more?"

"Won't."

Naruto was speechless, thinking to himself, "What kind of outrageous statement is this?"

Are you going to abandon me?

"We have absolutely no relationship."

"Isn't it enough to just have a physical body? Is the mind that important?" Sakura said weakly.

"It has nothing to do with that, you don't need to do that," Naruto said.

"I can accept *****."

"."

Naruto was getting tired of talking to Sakura, so he decided to slip away first.

"I think you're making fun of me, Sakura," Naruto said with a hint of exasperation. "I have a mission to complete right now, so I have to go."

"Take this." Sakura handed over the food box.

Naruto didn't take it, but frowned and stared at the food box. "You must have poisoned it last time, right?"

"This time there was no poison," she said with a smile.

He clicked his tongue, staring intently at Sakura. "There's definitely something very strange mixed in there, isn't there?"

Sakura smiled but didn't say anything.

After getting rid of the strange Sakura, Naruto went home and tidied up briefly, as usual without bringing Nine-Tails).

This mission isn't suitable to bring the Nine-Tails along, not because Nine-Tails appearance would give them leverage, but because the Land of Birds is too small. Any action the Nine-Tails takes could be a national catastrophe.

Adhering to the principle of not causing trouble for himself, he left the Nine-Tails at home.

Just before leaving the house.

Naruto gripped the doorknob and spoke solemnly to Nine-Tails, who was lying dead in the living room.

"Kurama, I'm going to work to pay off my debts. You stay home and practice your backflips. If I don't come back, they'll probably adopt you."

Upon hearing this, the Nine-Tails fox, who was lounging on the sofa like Ge You, immediately poked its head out and looked towards the door to ask.

"Really? Then there'll be an endless supply of wine to drink?"

"Of course it's true. Given how much they miss me, they will definitely treat you well."

Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox smiled and said, "You brat, you'd better die out there. I'll accept your death then."

"I will try my best."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door slammed shut, the footsteps faded away, and the living room returned to silence.

The Nine-Tails's smile slowly faded, and it shrank back into the sofa. The curtains were drawn in the dimly lit living room, and it stared blankly at the ceiling.

He then jumped off the sofa, stood up, walked to the balcony, and opened the curtains.

The pale Nikko, as gentle as autumn water, bathed the entire living room in large swaths. Nine-Tails squinted instantly, then went into Naruto's room and began searching.

He carefully retrieved Zhang Ming photo of Naruto's registration as a ninja from the pile of books in the Make-Out Paradise, and then took it out of the room.

Nine-Tails- Tailed Fox lit three incense sticks, skillfully blew on them, and the burning tips of the incense sticks turned fiery red.

"Kid, have a good trip."

After chanting, it solemnly placed three incense sticks in front of the photo frame with Naruto's picture on it. The only flaw Nine-Tails felt was that the photo wasn't black and white.

Meanwhile, Naruto had already reunited with Tenten and Neji.

Even though he hadn't had much luck yesterday and today, Naruto remained the same as always, as if nothing could bother him.

Don't dwell on things that you can't change for the time being.

Do the things in front of you first, and then deal with the remaining issues when you have free time. In most cases, most problems will be resolved smoothly.

Human thoughts are complex, let alone the thoughts of a young girl.

When expressing love, one should neither be condescending nor subservient; one should look at the other person as an equal. The stronger the love in one's heart, the more composed one should appear on the surface.

Otherwise, what gushes forth is often not love, but merely a momentary impulse.

Saying you like something doesn't need to be shouted out, nor does it need to be hidden away in a corner where no one can find you. It should be placed in the Nikko, spread out flat, unafraid of being discovered by anyone.

On the road.

Naruto voiced his doubts. "This client doesn't seem very bright. Is he really reliable?"

"Ah!" The man's pupils dilated slightly, and he tripped over a stone on the road and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hiss~!"

"Chishima, are you alright?" Tenten stopped and turned around, looking at the person who had fallen with concern.

"I'm fine." The man named Chishima immediately raised his head and forced a smile, even though blood was streaming down his forehead.

"So weak."

Naruto stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking at the bespectacled man, Chishima, who looked just like Shinpachi, and said sarcastically without any mercy.

"Feel sorry."

With blood streaming down his face, Chishima had a face like Shinpachi but lacked Shinpachi's sarcastic spirit, and apologized somewhat fearfully.

"I know the reward for the mission isn't enough, but I'm out of money!"

"Well... we didn't discuss any payment," Tenten awkwardly tried to smooth things over.

"This amount of money is putting us in a difficult position," Naruto added.

"I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!" Chishima was almost about to kowtow and apologize.

"Naruto, don't scare him!" Tenten glared at Naruto with a stern face, and the latter whistled and left, moving closer to Neji.

"I'm sorry!" Chishima knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

"It's okay, that's just how he is, he was just joking." Tenten had a headache, handed Chishima a towel, and forced a smile to comfort her.

"Now that Konohagakure has accepted the mission, we will definitely do our best."

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Chishima said, looking extremely grateful.

On the other side.

"Neji!"

Naruto called out to Neji, Neji paused sharply as he turned around. His expression darkened, as if he were recalling some unpleasant memories.

He remembered that Naruto had called him that last time, and then they tied the client up like a dumpling.

To make matters worse, he ended up teaming up with that lawless temporary worker again. Looking at that outlaw's smiling face, Neji felt a sudden chill.

This guy.

"Something's not quite right here," Naruto said, patting Neji on the shoulder and smacking his lips.

"Something's not right?" Neji asked patiently.

"Something's not right here," Naruto said, glancing at Chishima, who looked just like Shinpachi. "The person on the commission letter said that the Ghost Samurai was going to assassinate the former Daimyo, and then asked us to protect the new Daimyo."

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

"If Ghost Samurai could kill, the current Daimyo would have been dead long ago. How could he still be alive and kicking?"

Upon hearing this, Neji Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, Ghost Samurai don't exist; it's just a trick by people with ulterior motives."

"In that case," Naruto stroked his chin and looked at Neji, "Could we make a real one?"
