Naruto was speechless at being watched.
After cursing Danzo and the Third countless times in his heart, Naruto returned to the bustling district of Konoha.
The streets of Konoha at seven in the evening were still bustling with figures, walking in groups of three or five, wrapped in peace.
Yet that peace was shattered with the appearance of Naruto.
Seeing the Demon Fox's Child appear, many people frowned, whispering to their children that they must never play with someone like that, and so on.
[Ding, received 1 point of negativity from a Konoha villager.]
[Ding, received 1 point of negativity from a Konoha villager.]
[Ding, received 1 point of negativity from a Konoha villager.]
This time Naruto was not angry, but calm and composed with a full drive; just by strolling down two streets, he had reaped a large amount of negative emotion points.
"System panel."
[Golden Shovel System Panel] Host: Naruto Uzumaki. Negative Points: 698. Shock: 560. Silver: 90. Talent: Vision Insight LV1. [Lucky Money Search Function] (Unactivated) System Space (0/100 slots)
Seeing the amounts of negativity and shock, Naruto showed joy.
Sasuke really is a treasure girl.
Naruto followed the street signs, gradually moving away from his previous living area. "A single fight got me 560 shock points, and my Negative Points have piled up to 698 as well."
Glancing at the canvas bag on his back, "If I find a ninja tool shop to sell this later, I can reap 20,000 silver. Push a bit harder and maybe I can unlock the system's search function tonight?"
Negative emotion points were easy enough to get; he just needed to wander around the street more.
It was just the shock... this really gave Naruto a bit of a headache. Those 560 shock points were also obtained by defeating Sasuke, provided by Sasuke and the Anbu Elite monitoring him—truly hard to come by.
Naruto paced down the street when suddenly the system prompt rang in his ear.
[Ding, detected the ninjutsu vision of the Third Hokage, please maintain vigilance, host!]
This old schemer, instead of peeping at the hot springs, he stares at me all day long for what?
Wait...
Hot springs?
Hot springs.
Instantly a bolt of lightning flashed across Naruto's mind.
Then Naruto revealed a smile full of sunshine, immediately striding towards the side street, and after a few leaps, he mounted the low wall and quickly disappeared.
Seeing this, the two Anbu Elite monitoring Naruto also frowned, immediately rushing to follow with swishing sounds.
Yet when they caught up to Naruto's footsteps, they almost cracked their eyes open.
Naruto was missing from view, but a wretched old man carrying a canvas bag appeared in their field of vision.
This old man had age spots all over his face, a short stature, and an extremely wretched expression. At that moment, he was peering straight through the gaps in the rows of wooden boards at the things inside.
"Th... Third?"
"That damned brat actually dares to transform into Lord Hokage?"
Upon learning that Naruto actually dared to transform into the Third Hokage, the two Anbu ninjas were first startled and then wore black lines across their faces.
However, these Anbu Elite were usually busy, so they simply didn't know what Naruto, transformed into the Third, was peeping at right then.
Fortunately, this time the ninjas executing the mission together included a Hyuga Clan member, and the lead Anbu also nodded.
" Scout it out and see what he's doing."
"Hah."
Hearing this, the Anbu ninja at the side muttered, "Byakugan."
Swoosh...
Immediately everything before their eyes became vividly clear. Upon seeing the scene behind the wooden boards, the Hyuga ninja instantly blushed and hurriedly closed his Byakugan, his eyes panicked.
"What's inside?" The lead Anbu Elite also frowned and said.
"Inside is... is the women's area of the hot springs."
The lead Anbu wore a face full of black lines.
Meanwhile.
The Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was similarly watching every move of Naruto's. Anbu intelligence said that Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha went together to the Uchiha territory, which caused a trace of a bad premonition to rise in his heart.
Yet when he activated the Telescope Technique, he discovered that Naruto had already left the Uchiha Fiefdom and gone all the way to the bustling streets of Konoha.
However, as Naruto vanished in a flash, when he found him again, even though Hiruzen Sarutobi was nearing fifty, he was first startled and then furious.
Wasn't Naruto this brat doing this to blacken his reputation as the Third Hokage?
Alas... this brat is too disobedient. Would I, the dignified Third Hokage, personally peep at the hot springs?
The crystal ball image shifted inside the hot springs.
The view was too beautiful...
Hiruzen Sarutobi only felt his nose grow hot, and two red lines fell.
"Aiyaya... It's all the fault of this brat Naruto, I've already sworn to restrain myself!"
The Third covered his nose and left the office.
Meanwhile.
Naruto, feigning enjoyment of the masses, heard the system prompts ring continuously in his ear.
[Ding, received 90 shock points and 90 negative emotion points from the Anbu Elite!]
[Ding, received 90 shock points and 90 negative emotion points from the Anbu Elite!]
Good fellow, do Negative Points and Shock Points come together?
Before his voice faded,
[Ding, received 200 shock points and 200 negative emotion points from Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi!]
[Ding, prompting the host that the surveillance vision from the 'Telescope Technique' has vanished.]
Hearing the prompt, Naruto thought, System panel.
[Golden Shovel System Panel] Host: Naruto Uzumaki. Negativity: 1078. Shock: 940. Silver: 90. Talent: Visual Insight LV1. [Lucky Money Search Function] (Unactivated) System Space (0/100 slots)
Seeing the 1078 Negative Points and 940 Shock Points, Naruto was very satisfied in his heart.
"Release."
Bang.
A burst of smoke surged around his body, and the Transformation Technique was undone.
After thinking for a moment, he formed hand seals again. "Transform."
This time Naruto directly transformed into an ordinary young man, then hoisted the canvas bag and returned to the street, pacing towards the ninja tool shop.
Naruto's absurd operations gave the two Anbu Elite a massive headache; such boring surveillance was simply a torture.
"What on earth is he trying to do?"
"Sigh, follow them."
Swosh, swosh, swosh...
Two dark shadows rapidly vanished.
When the two tailed him all the way and saw Naruto transform into an ordinary young man and walk into the weapon shop, they also had a headache. What was the point of making selling weapons so complicated?
Naruto had no other choice for this kind of redundant act.
If he didn't do this, let alone smoothly selling the ninja tools in the canvas bag, if he showed up in person to take out these ninja tools, he would most likely be called a thief by someone. Silver was something he urgently needed right now, so he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.
The Uchiha Clan was a prominent Konoha Elite family after all, and the procured kunai and shuriken were of very superior texture.
Plus, these ninja tools were Itachi's and Sasuke's private stashes, and they hadn't been used in physical combat clashes themselves, so the damage was very small and the quality was good.
However, merchants are never without greed.
Seeing that Naruto had the image of an ordinary young man, the weapon shop owner also slashed the price to forty percent of the original price, and the shuriken as well.
Seeing this, Naruto directly raised the price. From the weapon shop owner's eyes, he knew this person wanted to take the opportunity to harvest him.
"Hmph, you're only giving 40 percent of the original price for these ninja tools of mine? Forget it, I'll go ask at other ninja tool shops."
As he spoke, Naruto picked up the canvas bag and prepared to leave, his tone very indignant.
Seeing this, the owner immediately grabbed Naruto and said with a smile, "Don't go, customer, the price is negotiable, right?"
In the end, 10 kunai and 10 shuriken were bought back at the original prices of 1,500 silver and 500 silver, and Naruto successfully got his hands on 20,000 silver.
"Walk slowly, customer. Remember to come to me next time you have ninja tools like this. The prices are fair and without deception, oh."
