Chapter 13 Sunglasses
He bent down, held the grass, and quickly pulled it out completely, without any roots, while injecting a small amount of Chakra into the soil the moment it was pulled.
And while he was at it, he killed the pests in the soil.
This process was quite complex, but Naruto's hand speed was incredibly fast.
As the mission progressed, his Chakra refinement steadily improved, and his Chakra control became more precise.
At the same time, his body was also getting stronger, and his physical fitness was steadily increasing.
So there were benefits like this!
Kizaru began to understand the meaning of this weeding mission.
This weeding was clearly a form of training, and he even got paid for it. It was indeed a good thing, a rare good thing.
The only catch was… a lot of the mission's reward money had been embezzled!
Thinking of this, he continued to weed energetically according to the process, gnashing his teeth.
The expression on his face also gradually became ferocious… combined with his habitual crooked mouth, his expression was incredibly… demonic!
Sakura, who was also weeding, accidentally caught sight of Naruto's ferocious expression and was startled.
What in the world was this guy doing?
Who was he putting on such a grim and resentful face for?
Sakura couldn't imagine what kind of situation someone would have to encounter to show such an expression.
And how would one contract the facial muscles to twist their face like that!
That always amusing Loser, Naruto, she didn't know what new trick he had up his sleeve, but his recent changes were truly significant.
Especially… the expression on his face!
He was once such a cheerful and lively boy, but now he had become so… demonic!
My Sasuke-kun is still the best~
He's always so… handsome!
Sakura secretly glanced at Uchiha Sasuke, who was weeding, and a blush appeared on her face.
Sasuke-kun, while weeding, had flushed cheeks and a sweaty neck… not only was he so handsome, but he made her almost want to go up and wipe his sweat for him.
Sasuke, however, kept an eye on Naruto.
That always Loser, the blond boy, this time he was able to use powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsulike Lightning Whip and Five-Strike Whip, and it was very likely he created them himself!
He himself had only mastered a few Fire ReleaseNinjutsu!
Naruto must have been secretly training!
He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill that man, but with his current strength, it definitely wouldn't work!
Alright, he needed to work harder.
Thinking of this, Sasuke's weeding movements became faster, his weeding efficiency higher, and his weeding control more precise.
In this situation, which was both a mission and training, Uchiha Sasuke would never lose to anyone!
…Time passed minute by minute… As noon approached, the entire vast expanse of farmland finally completed the weeding mission.
Kakashi looked at the weeding results and nodded in satisfaction, "The mission was completed well. Among you, Sasuke completed the most, Narutocame in second, and Sakura the least. Also…"
"From the quality of the work, Sakura handled her fields the best, Sasuke was second, and Narutowas the worst~"
"Overall, the mission was completed quite well, so the mission reward will be fully paid. Now, I will give you your rewards, and then I will go to Hokage-sama to report the mission."
Kakashi said, pulling out a few coins and handing them to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
They all took them.
"Alright, you are dismissed now. Tomorrow's mission will be at nine in the morning. Gather at the mission reception area to carry out tomorrow's mission."
Kizaru tossed the coins in his hand, looking a bit dejected.
He should have a lot of Chakra in his body.
However, a large portion of it was used to suppress the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, that big fox.
And his Chakra control was not as good as that pink-haired girl, Sakura.
It seemed training was essential.
He hoped tomorrow's mission would still be weeding. Although the reward wasn't much, it was beneficial for his training, so it was barely acceptable.
Kizaru walked on his way back, and not long after, he arrived at the bustling commercial street of Konoha Village.
He reached into his pants pocket.
He felt a… pipe!
Another pipe stolen from the Third Old Man.
Hmm~
This thing was worth at least a hundred ryo.
He would go and exchange this thing later.
After walking just a few steps, Kizaru unexpectedly saw a… glasses shop?
A hint of nostalgia appeared on Kizaru's face.
He decided to go in and take a look.
Without hesitation, Kizaru walked into the glasses shop.
"Welcome…" The old shop owner greeted the customer with a smile.
After seeing Naruto, the old shop owner's expression changed slightly, and he cursed "Stinky Fox" inwardly, his gaze turning unfriendly.
In Kizaru's opinion, this look was even whiter than that little girl named Hinata~
But Kizaru didn't care. After all, he wasn't the original Naruto. Although there were still some remnants of the original owner's soul in his body, Kizaru's thoughts were now in control.
Though he had already begun to gradually get used to others calling him Naruto.
"If you want to buy something, buy it quickly~" The shop owner was already becoming a bit impatient.
Kizaru surveyed the entire glasses shop.
They were all old-fashioned black-framed glasses and gold-rimmed glasses, such as reading glasses, myopia glasses, and plano glasses~
These weren't what he wanted.
Suddenly, Kizaru froze.
He stared blankly at a pair of glasses in the corner of the wall.
He couldn't be more familiar with the style of these glasses.
Before coming to this world, the sunglasses he loved to wear the most were of this very style.
Brown lenses, yellow frames, a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Such a beautiful and novel style of sunglasses, yet the boss had placed them in the corner.
No wonder his business wasn't great~
"Boss, I want that one…"
Kizaru pointed at the sunglasses.
"Five hundred ryo."
The boss held up five fingers.
That expensive!
Was this boss running a shady business?
"Boss, how much is it really?"
"Five hundred ryo. Take it or leave it. If you don't want it, leave quickly."
"Can you make it cheaper?"
"No bargaining."
Hey, this boss certainly had a temper.
However, what made Naruto depressed was that he really didn't have much money on him.
His eyes darted around, and he thought of a good idea.
"I'll trade this for it~"
Saying that, he placed the pipe on the table, then picked up the sunglasses and walked out of the glasses shop.
The glasses shop owner was initially a bit flustered, but then he saw the wooden pipe and his face filled with pleasant surprise.
This wooden pipe seemed pretty good, and he could use it perfectly.
The boss reached out to grab the pipe, intending to examine it closely.
Bang~
A puff of white smoke rose.
An Anbu Ninja wearing a mask appeared.
He took out a five-hundred-ryo banknote and placed it on the table.
"This is five hundred ryo. The pipe belongs to Hokage-sama…"
After he finished speaking, another puff of white smoke appeared, and the Anbu's figure vanished.
The glasses shop owner was dumbfounded. This pipe, did it have such a powerful background?
…After Kizaru put on his glasses, he found a mirror and looked, completely satisfied.
With the glasses on, he looked more and more like his former self.
Hmm, he would find an opportunity to save enough money and definitely get a custom-made yellow pinstripe suit… Hokage's Office.
The Third Old Man stroked the pipe that had returned to his hands, his face full of gloom.
"He traded it for a pair of sunglasses, huh…"
"If Naruto ever snatches my pipe again, I'll never watch the women's bathhouse anymore!"
