Chapter 17 - Uzumaki Naruto, Who Plans to Demand a Salary

Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was delighted to have a grandson, oh, a precious grandson. Given the relationship between the two families, a visit was definitely in order. Commonly known as 'sending noodles,' though it was uncertain if such a custom existed in the ninja world.

"Ah, so cute!" Kushina praised, looking at the little thing on the bed.

Present were Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and his wife Biwako Sarutobi, as well as Shinnosuke Sarutobi and his wife, the newborn's parents.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi was the Third Hokage's eldest son, who had remained relatively unknown due to holding an important position in the Anbu. He had, for some reason, died in the manga, leaving behind Konohamaru as an orphan.

Naruto also leaned in for a look. Where's the cuteness? He looks like a little monkey, he thought, fitting for someone surnamed Sarutobi.

But obviously, he couldn't say that, so Naruto said something he could: "What's his name?"

The Third Hokage's pipe had been confiscated before entering the room. Stroking his beard, he said with a smile, "I will name this child. I hope that when he grows up, he will become a powerful ninja..."

Naruto interjected, "How about Shinnosuke Cockroach? 'Strong' as in powerful!"

The Third Hokage's hand, stroking his beard, froze for a moment. He continued, "No, not only that, I also hope that he can benefit Konoha..."

"Shinnosuke Lucky! Bringing happiness to Konoha!"

Duang! Kushina couldn't stand it anymore and punched Naruto on the head.

"Naruto, don't be rude. Let Third Hokage finish speaking!"

"Okay," Naruto said, hugging his head in grievance.

"Hehehe... it's alright, Naruto is very much like Minato," the Third Hokage added silently in his heart, especially when it comes to naming things.

The Third Hokage continued, "Therefore, I named him Konohamaru, Konohamaru Sarutobi."

"What a great name, Konohamaru."

Perhaps it was fate, definitely not because Naruto's names were awful, but in the end, Naruto couldn't change Konohamaru's name.

Naruto secretly resolved that if he had a son in the future, he would definitely name him Uzumaki Dog Egg.

...

After returning home, Naruto showed Kushina his stomach: "Mom, can this seal be modified?"

"What's wrong? Is the Nine Tails being unruly?" Kushina wore an expression that said, 'If he's not being good, I'll beat him up for you.'

"No, no, we have a pretty good relationship. I just want to improve the environment."

This fox was just waiting every day to listen to stories. If he was happy, he would even smile at Naruto, just short of rewarding him with a hundred cards of Chakra.

Speaking of which, Kakashi had been urged by Minato and Kushina all these years, and his usual training hadn't been as lax as in the original story. He should have become much stronger, and if his physique became stronger, his Chakra would also increase accordingly. Could he still be used as a Chakra measurement unit then?

In the original story, Kakashi didn't start working hard until the Chunin Exams, when he was scared stiff by Orochimaru when helping Sasuke seal the curse mark. Such a good genius character, wasted for so many years.

Kushina was puzzled and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of changing the environment?"

Naruto said very honestly, "Actually, I go and chat with the big fox for a while every day, telling him stories and stuff. The Sealing Space is like a sewer, very uncomfortable, so I want to change it."

"Theoretically, it's possible. The Eight Trigrams Sealing Style is very flexible. The eight trigrams represent heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, mountain, and swamp, which can be combined to create many kinds of environments."

"Then I want a forest style, with a grassland and a lake and river? And a bit of mountainous area in the distance. Make the environment brighter, and ah, it would be even better if there could be day and night alternation!"

Listening to Naruto's light tone, Kushina's mouth twitched a few times, and she roared, "This is a sealing technique! Do you think this is ordering food or building a house!?"

Because he wasn't appeased, he also punched Naruto.

 Naruto covered his head, careless, he accidentally revealed the face of Party A—I'm only responsible for making demands, the solution is up to Party B, and one more thing, I want a colorful black, and one more thing...

 Naruto shivered, he would be killed by his own family for righteousness, he can't be reckless, he can't be reckless.

 "Then just make the changes refreshing and comfortable."

 "Listen carefully, the Nine Tails' sealing is very important. I will discuss it with Minato when he comes back at night. You are absolutely not allowed to mess with it yourself!" Kushina didn't want Naruto to treat the tailed beast's sealing as a child's play.

 "Okay." Naruto nodded obediently, "By the way, Mom, what does your Sealing Space look like now?"

 "It's about the same as before, the Nine Tails is just tied to a big stone ball."

 "Haven't you talked properly?"

 "That stinky fox! Has a terrible temper! Do you want me to beg him to talk to me nicely?"

 "Uh..." Forget it, you should pray for your own good, other half of the big fox, a tsundere meets a hot temper, you should suffer for your own actions.

 ...

 In the evening, the Nine Tails, who was waiting to hear a story, was dozing on the ground. Suddenly, the water on the ground quickly seeped into the ground, and the grass grew wildly, forming a lawn centered on the fox that was enough for him to roll four or five times back and forth, and the originally dark top also turned into blue sky and white clouds.

 Of course, there were still boundaries, but the original walls and gates were covered with vines and other plants, and even a few morning glories bloomed.

 The Nine Tails noticed the change and looked around, and found a little yellow-haired boy waving at the door.

 "Yo, big fox, how do you feel?"

 "Boring." The Nine Tails lay down again, this feeling... seems to be more comfortable than lying in the water?

 "Don't be so heartless, my mom finally agreed to help change it.

 I originally promised you that I would change it myself after I learned sealing techniques, but at my current learning progress, I don't know how many years it will take to reach this level, so I had to ask for help."

 "Hmph." The big tail behind the Nine Tails moved.

 Naruto noticed the Nine Tails' small movements, tsundere is really difficult to serve, "Then let's continue telling the story."

 Naruto cleared his throat: "Enough of the idle talk, let's continue from the last time, that Nezha, in order to protect the safety of the people of Chentangguan, and also to prevent his parents from being embarrassed, cut his own throat with a sword..."

 It was telling "The Legend of Nezha". As an animation that Naruto liked very much in his previous life, it promoted positive energy and shaped the image of a little hero. Naruto was also very worried about awakening the truth, goodness and beauty in the Nine Tails' heart.

 Whether it's useful or not, at least the relationship between one person and one fox has been brought closer. In the future, he can justifiably ask the Nine Tails for a salary, and let his chakra be used as a manuscript fee.

 I let you prostitute so many stories every day, when I encounter difficulties and ask you for a reward, how can you be embarrassed not to give it? Naruto thought beautifully.

 ...

 Konoha 54, February, Naruto sang a Hua Tsai song after getting up:

 "I've waited so long, finally waited for today~"

 Then he felt that this song didn't quite fit his current complicated mood.

 Yes, the mood is complicated, Naruto is going to school, and is about to become a glorious elementary school student. In this situation, he really wanted to say:

 "Although my body has become smaller, my mind is still as flexible as ever, I am an omnipotent great detective."

Well, I should go burn some incense for Conan one of these days. I'm already living my second life, and he's still an elementary school student?
