Chapter 13 - Uzumaki Menma Appears, Controlling the Land of Waves

The golden-haired girl blinked her big, watery eyes, her face lit up with joy. "Really? That's amazing! You're incredible, Boss. No other shop has ever done something on this scale."

"Ahahaha!" Haru Huolang was elated, and immediately puffed out his chest. "Just name anything else you need, and I'll arrange it right away! And no matter how much you buy, you get a 50% discount!"

"Wow! Boss, I admire you so much." The golden-haired girl's eyes sparkled as she hugged Haru Huolang's arm and rubbed against him.

While he was completely captivated, she continued, "My family runs a farm, specializing in cattle products. So, I need a thousand sets of various supporting facilities, and ten tons of cattle feed to start with."

"I know you don't have these in stock, but I need them urgently. Luckily, Boss, you're such a kind person. How long will it take for me to get the goods?"

"No problem!" Haru Huolang quickly calculated and boasted, "Leave it to me. I'll have everything ready for you in three days, miss."

"The Boss is really generous, only you have this kind of boldness. Thank you! I'll come back in three days to pick up the goods. Could you also have someone help me deliver these things?" The golden-haired girl pointed to the large pile of things she had bought before.

"No problem. Hey, you! Get over here already, you have no eyes!" Haru Huolang turned around and immediately transformed into a tyrant in front of his shop assistant.

"I'll be going then. Thank you so much, Boss."

"It was the least I could do."

Haru Huolang, acting like a sycophant, escorted the person all the way to the door.

"Hmm, I seem to have forgotten something… Ah, whatever. That woman is really something. Once I get the goods ready, hehehe, without some kind of payment, a 50% discount wouldn't be so easily obtained." Haru Huolang had a lecherous grin on his face.

Did they really think he was stupid? His name was Haru Huolang, not a fool. He would never drop the ball when it came to beautiful women.

Not far away, the cashier opened her mouth several times but didn't dare to speak. The boss was fantasizing, and if she spoke, she'd definitely get yelled at, and she might even lose her job.

But… that woman not only didn't pay a deposit for the order, but she also didn't pay for the things she bought. Was this really okay?

Forget it, a shrewd person like the boss probably thought of it already.

She was just a lowly cashier, so she shouldn't do anything that would annoy the boss.

Besides, Haru Huolang hadn't given her a chance to speak, and he'd left happily soon after.

Not long after, the shop assistant who had helped with the delivery returned.

The cashier was surprised. "So fast? Does that woman live so close by?"

The shop assistant shrugged. "I don't know. She just told me to pile the stuff in an empty alley nearby. It's better this way; I saved a lot of effort."

The cashier blinked, feeling something wasn't quite right.

But whatever, it didn't concern her.

Outside the alley, the blonde girl formed a hand seal and quickly reverted to Naruto's true form.

Naruto smacked his lips. "What a fool. Just a little flirtation and she fell for it. I really don't understand how the original got caught by such a moron. There's no such thing as the dumbest, only the dumber."

Naruto created several Shadow Clones and then used the Transformation Technique to become ordinary laborers, carrying the items back home.

This Utatane General Store was the only shop in the village willing to sell things to Naruto at normal prices, and it did indeed have a wide selection of goods.

The original Naruto got his paint, milk, and instant noodles from this store.

However, they were ridiculously expensive when sold to the original.

Not only were the prices several times higher, but the quality was also substandard.

Either expired, damaged, or unsold inventory.

But there was nothing to be done. The original Naruto wasn't very bright, so he was already satisfied that someone was willing to sell him things.

Now, as Naruto, he would get revenge for any grievances.

He had just bought all the necessary household items at once, and enough food for several months.

As for those ranch facilities, did they even exist?

Anyway, three days later, Haru Huolang, the thirty-something-year-old clan head of the Utatane Clan, was being chased and beaten by his mother, Utatane Koharu, with a rattan cane all the way through the clan's territory. It was a complete mess, and it even attracted the Third Hokage, who was very protective…

Oh, right, the Third Hokage came to mediate, but that had nothing to do with Naruto.

After handling the domestic matters, and not receiving a summons from Yugao Uzuki, Naruto still left a Shadow Clone behind. His main body was preparing to set off for the Land of Waves.

After careful consideration, he thought he should also set up a home outside of Konoha.

After all, with his personality, Konoha might not be able to contain him one day, so he needed to leave himself an escape route.

Besides, although there were many beauties in Konoha, there were also many in the entire ninja world. He couldn't bring every woman he met back to Konoha.

That would require all sorts of excuses and identity arrangements, which was too troublesome.

Considering all of this, he should build a base.

The Land of Waves was located at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Water. It was geographically isolated and rich in fisheries, making it an excellent choice.

Taking Yukimi with him, and leaving behind many Flying Thunder God Technique markings along the way, it took them two days to finally arrive in the Land of Waves.

It was an island nation without any military strength, controlled by the capitalist, Gato.

As long as Menma replaced Gato, the entire Land of Waves would fall into his hands.

It just so happened that Gato's mansion was a large estate, perfectly suitable for Menma and his future women to reside in.

"From now on, I'm called Menma!" Naruto ordered a set of outfits identical to Menma's, including a black cloak and even the same mask.

"Nar... Menma, what are you trying to do?" Yukimi didn't understand.

Naruto smiled faintly, "What I want to do certainly can't be low-key. To prevent my true identity from being exposed, it's necessary to hide myself."

Naruto's identity wasn't suitable for doing bad things, so he'd leave that to Menma.

"Then, should I also conceal myself?" Yukimi already knew about Naruto's situation and wasn't surprised.

"No need," Naruto said calmly, "If it weren't for the timing, I wouldn't need to hide myself at all. And as my woman, I won't let you suffer any grievances."

"What I want is not only to strengthen myself, but also to make the women around me shine brightly, attracting the world's attention and admiration."

"The current ninja world is turbulent, with many unseen threats."

He understood the principle of the 'nail that sticks up gets hammered down'. Being too conspicuous now would only draw everyone's attention to him.

Regardless of whether he could handle it or not, it wasn't worth the risk.

It's better to let those people follow the original script, so he could control everything and get what he wanted.

"Menma..." Yukimi's gaze was soft, and she said in a sweet voice, "I want to see a flash of cold light arrive first."

Damn it, she got to him again!

Both of them cursed inwardly, and then found a place to study the cold light.

Of course, they also remembered to block the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's outward perception during this time.
