Naruto muttered as he looked at the vastly different Hokage Rock.
"Is it too far away? Or is it because such huge stone carvings look too abstract?"
Although he thought the figures on the Hokage Rock looked a bit strange, Naruto did not dwell on it at the moment.
Instead, after emerging from the Anbu's field of vision, he rubbed his eyes and returned to his room on his own.
Although the Konoha Anbu included Jounin members from the Hyuga Clan, monitoring a brat did not mean keeping the Byakugan activated all the time in such an outrageous manner.
At most, when Naruto was out of sight for a long time, they would symbolically activate the Byakugan to take a look and then deactivate it.
Upon returning to his room, Naruto immediately entered the bathroom and closed the door.
Without a moment's hesitation, he used the active cell enhancement potion from the beginner's gift pack and 1 chakra expansion card in succession.
Three minutes later.
Naruto stepped out of his house with firm strides.
In the past, because Naruto ate instant noodles and other junk food for a long time, the overall impression he gave people was a thin body and weak strength.
As someone with the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan yet unable to beat a few ordinary children, that was proof.
So after taking the active cell enhancement potion, both his complexion and body were full of resilience.
Before using the chakra expansion card, Naruto could only vaguely sense a faint trace of chakra inside his body.
Yet after using the chakra expansion card, that trace of chakra instantly increased to a full stream.
Naruto had a feeling that if he used the Clone Technique now, the clones he produced definitely wouldn't be half-dead.
This feeling of going from nothing to something, from weak to strong, made Naruto look forward to his future growth all the more.
As soon as he went out, walked downstairs, and paced the streets of Konoha, the system notifications rang out continuously.
[Ding, received 1 point of negative emotion value from a Konoha villager!]
[Ding, received 1 point of negative emotion value from a Konoha villager!]
[Ding, received 1 point of negative emotion value from a Konoha villager!]
A dozen or so gazes around him fell upon him, and Naruto turned his head to look, guided by the sensation of his talent, Visual Insight.
Immediately, he saw a dozen villagers with disgusted expressions and cold eyes looking at him.
"Hmph, this is simply wonderful."
"As soon as I showed up, they provided me with 13 Negative Emotion Points."
Having walked only halfway down the short street, Naruto had already harvested 39 Negative Emotion Points from these villagers.
If laughing out loud didn't clash with Naruto's previous persona, he probably would have intentionally mocked the crowd.
Unfortunately, as he walked out, two steadfast gazes were always lingering on him.
Now that the scenes from the anime had come to life right before him, Naruto naturally wanted to appreciate them properly.
Yet just as he was about to reach the end of the street.
He heard words from a few gossiping middle-aged women nearby that shocked him for a lifetime.
"Hey, I heard the prestigious Uchiha was wiped out last night, true or false?"
"Shh... It's true. My husband works in the Intelligence Department, and he said the culprit who wiped out the Uchiha is none other than the most dazzling genius girl of the Uchiha's younger generation--Uchiha Itachi."
"Ah? She seems to only be 13 years old, how could she be so ruthless? There were over two thousand people up and down the Uchiha clan, and she actually killed all of them?"
"No kidding! Word has it she even killed her parents, the scene was truly a river of blood."
"That's not right, the Uchiha still has one clan member alive. I heard they just came out of Konoha Hospital."
"Who is so lucky to have escaped disaster?"
"None other than Uchiha Itachi's younger sister--Sasuke Uchiha."
These words entering his ears struck Naruto like a bolt from the blue; he froze on the spot, countless images flashing through his mind.
He also instantly forgot that he was currently the demon fox whom villagers avoided like the plague, and he directly took two strides forward, rushed into the gossiping women's crowd, grabbed the middle-aged woman who had said Itachi and Sasuke were girls, and asked, "What did you say? The most dazzling Uchiha genius girl, Uchiha Itachi?"
Seeking confirmation, Naruto grabbed the woman's sleeve, paying no attention to the air pressure dropping instantly around him, nor the undisguised looks of disgust from the surrounding women, and continued, "The girl Sasuke Uchiha?"
However, by the time Naruto reacted, it was already too late.
At this moment, the women around him realized that the boy who had rushed in was actually the Demon Fox's Child, and immediately scolded him loudly.
"Get lost! Who told you to come near us!?"
"You harbinger of ill omen, why are people like you still allowed to stay in the village?!"
"That's right, it's you... If it weren't for you, my younger sister wouldn't have died a tragic death 7 years ago!!"
After all, Naruto was only seven years old right now. Because of eating various unnutritious junk food all year round, he was already thinner and half a head shorter than his peers. How could he possibly deal with five or six burly women?
Although the surrounding women were all furious and looked as if they had run into bad luck, no one dared to openly say Naruto was the demon fox.
After all, the punishment for the gag order was very heavy.
However, the woman whose sleeve Naruto was holding onto wasn't so restrained.
With an expression of disgust, she violently brushed Naruto's hand away, and with a shove, pushed the seven-year-old Naruto, whose body was frail and weak, down to the ground.
"Who gave you the guts to touch me? This is my newly made outfit, how am I supposed to wear it after you've touched it?!"
The woman was extremely angry at the moment. With so many people around, why did the disaster star have to touch only her?
The woman grew more and more furious, took a step forward, and wanted to kick Naruto in the stomach.
It was only at this moment that Naruto fully snapped back to his senses, realizing he was no longer a viewer from his past life but the genuine Naruto Uzumaki.
Although the woman's kick was not fast, it wasn't something a normal seven-year-old child could easily dodge.
Fortunately, however, before going out, he had taken the active cell enhancement potion and the Level 1 chakra expansion card.
His small physical fitness was already three times what it was previously, and he successfully twisted his body and dodged the moment before the woman's kick arrived.
Yet his dodge came with consequences.
The woman behind him poured all her strength into a kick that missed, throwing her body off balance sprawling in all directions, and with a loud "bang," she slammed hard onto the ground.
Immediately, the woman's screams and curses echoed down the street.
The commotion here was quite loud.
It immediately attracted distant villagers to gather and watch.
Sure enough.
Upon learning that the Demon Fox's Child was to blame, everyone stared coldly at Naruto with hostile gazes.
As a viewer in his past life, Lin Mingren had simply been unable to feel how heavy this malice was.
Facing dozens of cold and hostile gazes, he seemed to hear the whispers of brats ringing in his ears.
"Why haven't you died yet? Why are you still in Konoha?"
In the past life, the term "cold violence" generally only appeared in film and television dramas.
In reality, he had never encountered it, and certainly not from such a large-scale group of people.
This feeling was as helpless as asking for directions casually on the street and then being surrounded, cursed at, glared at, and mockingly scorned by everyone on the entire street.
Coupled with the sacrifices Minato Namikaze and Kushina made for Konoha, even though he wasn't the real Naruto, his eye rims inevitably turned red and his face filled with grievance for a moment, while wave after wave of hatred continuously brewed in the depths of his heart, impossible to suppress no matter what.
Naruto, right now... only I can personally feel the pain you once experienced.
