Naruto didn't know how to describe it...
These Konoha villagers were just way too enthusiastic!
Honestly, he had no need to build some Small Wooden House while training in Riverside Grove.
If he wanted to rest, he could just toss out a Space Gate and go home.
Why go through all that unnecessary trouble?
But Naruto really couldn't handle this group of enthusiastic uncles, all scrambling to build him a wooden house.
It made him feel pretty embarrassed.
He had no choice. If he refused such enthusiastic uncles again, that would be downright rude.
Sasuke watched helplessly as this group built a wooden house on the spot in less than an hour, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.
"Uchiha Sasuke?"
"Why are you here too?"
After seeing off those enthusiastic Konoha villagers, Naruto spotted Sasuke not far away.
Though he looked a little... slow-witted.
"No..."
"I was passing by."
Sasuke snapped back to his senses and turned his head away, not daring to look at Naruto.
He cursed himself as an idiot in his heart.
That guy was so strong; he didn't need a reminder from him at all!
Thinking of how anxious he had looked just now, Sasuke felt deeply embarrassed. He glanced sideways at Naruto, then headed back the way he had come without looking back.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, then in the direction those uncles had left, scratching his head in confusion.
What was going on today?
Why did everyone seem so strange...
"Forget it, I'm going home to eat."
Naruto muttered to himself, then threw out a Space Gate and teleported home for dinner.
"By the way, Big Fox."
"Did you pay attention to the Chakra of those people in the classroom today?"
That night, Naruto suddenly remembered this and asked curiously.
He really wanted to know just how big the gap was between himself and everyone else.
"What was there to pay attention to?"
"Only that Uchiha brat had more than the rest."
Naruto recalled the Chakra he had sensed from Sasuke earlier and asked uncertainly, "0.5 mo?"
"No. His Chakra is already at 5 mo now."
Learning that Sasuke's Chakra had increased tenfold at once, Naruto immediately sucked in a sharp breath.
"Hiss—"
"This child is terrifying—he must not be allowed to live!"
Kurama: ...
What was this brat going crazy over now?
It was only 5 mo. Why would someone with 100 mo of Chakra care about a brat like that?
Kurama didn't understand, assuming Naruto was acting up again.
Realizing Big Fox couldn't catch his reference, Naruto found it terribly boring.
Sigh... There's one bad thing about transmigrating.
No one can catch my references. It's not fun at all.
He tugged at the blanket, wished Big Fox good night, and quickly drifted off to sleep.
In the days that followed, Naruto went to school every morning for one class, making sure to show his face in front of Teacher Iruka and tease little Hinata.
Then he would run off to Riverside Grove in the afternoon to train.
It was an extremely regular routine.
The Third Hokage watched Naruto skip class and worried inwardly, but he still had no way to deal with the child.
If he hadn't spoken with Naruto before... the child probably wouldn't even have shown up for morning classes.
And whenever he did go to school, he either talked to his deskmate or lay on the desk spacing out and sleeping...
Naruto was the most troublesome child the Third Hokage had seen in all his years.
Even more troublesome than Kushina and Uchiha Obito had been back then.
The key was that Naruto was incredibly strong, so there was no way to use his grades against him.
After thinking it over and realizing he truly had no way to handle the child, he simply let him train on his own.
The Third Hokage also told Might Guy and Kakashi to keep a bit of an eye on the child.
So he wouldn't train recklessly and injure himself again.
As for the rumors in the village about the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox...
No one dared say a word now.
Ever since Naruto demonstrated what "Innate Divine Power" meant by the river, not a single civilian dared shout about what should be done to Naruto.
After all...
If they really angered the kid, they were genuinely afraid Naruto would carry a tree over and smash their homes apart with a few swings.
Whoever messed with him would fucking die!
And so, without realizing it, Naruto once again defused the rumors in Konoha.
"Naruto..."
"W-Where do you go every afternoon?"
After being teased by Naruto for several days, Hinata had developed some resistance and was no longer as shy as before, so she began asking where he went.
"I go train."
Naruto answered instinctively, though half his consciousness was still in the Sealing Space, discussing his future training plans with Big Fox.
Last night, he had discovered that he could split his attention between two things, keeping half his consciousness in the Sealing Space and the other half in the outside world.
But because of that, Naruto's behavior in the outside world became very strange.
Since he couldn't react in time, his movements sometimes stuttered like a high-ping warrior in an online game from his previous life, or he would take ages to respond.
"I see..."
Little Hinata's gaze dimmed, and she felt so useless.
Naruto was already so strong, yet he still worked so hard.
Compared to him, with her only training for a little while after going home at night, Hinata felt incredibly ashamed.
It would be great if I could train together with Naruto...
"Hey, Hinata, how about we train together?"
