After introducing themselves, Naruto planned to walk Hinata home.

The two weren't very familiar with each other, so there wasn't much to talk about.
Moreover, Hinata's personality was far too socially anxious.
Coupled with her being soft and weak, making her very easy to bully, Naruto worried he wouldn't be able to restrain himself from reaching out his demonic claws to pinch her cute little face.
Life was really starting to look like it had some 'prospects' (jail time).
Naruto turned his head to glance at Hinata beside him.
She kept her head lowered as if there were something fascinating on the ground.
Her baby-fat cheeks were flushed red, and her ten fingers were restlessly fidgeting with each other.
This was a sign of nervousness.
Naruto thought for a moment; he needed to find a topic to ease the tension.
"If anyone bullies you in the future, just use the Gentle Fist to smash their faces."
As the eldest miss of the Hyuga Clan, it didn't matter who she beat up.
If it were a Jinchuriki, take Gaara for example—if he kills you, you're just unlucky.
Those three bratty kids could only be described as truly unbearable.
And Hinata's personality was just like her soft cheeks—truly soft.
The devil-like whisper made Hinata shake her head vigorously: "No... I can't."
"In this world, the kind are bullied. You have absolutely nothing to fear; few peers can beat you. You are, after all, a genius of the Hyuga Clan."
She had zero self-confidence.
Naruto couldn't help but lament that her personality was actually too good.
But good people get guns pointed at them.
Especially in the Ninja World.
"A genius? I'm not. I don't have any talent. I'm often scolded by my father. Only Brother Neji is a true genius."
When talking about this, Hinata's speech actually became more fluent.
Naruto fell slightly silent.
Hyuga Neji's talent was indeed very strong.
But anyone who had seen the original work knew that Hinata was the one with the real talent—or rather, the highest bloodline of the Hyuga Clan.
Even Ōtsutsuki Toneri valued her Byakugan and wanted to marry her.
But her performance in the early stages was mediocre.
Naruto suspected it was because she hadn't eaten enough.
As the saying goes, man is iron and food is steel; skipping a meal makes you feel weak with hunger.
Because of her status, Hyuga Hinata didn't dare to eat ravenously at the dinner table and often went hungry.
Chakra is the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy.
Without enough food, there is naturally no physical energy.
Even worse, she met a 'hawk-like' father in Hyuga Hiashi.
Add to that the pressure brought by her older cousin Hyuga Neji, and it created her current personality.
Naruto thought for a bit and said, "It's just because your body hasn't fully developed yet."
"Eh?"
Hinata's white eyes were a bit dazed.
She didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence.
Naruto stopped walking; they had reached the main residence of the Hyuga Clan's head family.
He didn't explain further; it's very difficult to change a person's personality in a short time.
Next time, he'd take her to eat her fill.
Only, given her appetite, his wallet might not be able to withstand the pressure.
He had to find a way to make money.
The ways for a Ninja to make money are nothing more than missions and bounties.
Well, and finding a rich woman.
But he was still young and not yet a Ninja, so it wasn't easy to rely on those three to make money.
Become a plagiarizing writer?
Naruto used the Transformation Jutsu to turn into an unremarkable young man and walked into a bookstore.
"Boss, give me a copy of the most popular novel."
"Popular?"
The boss sized him up and gave a meaningful smile.
He took a book off the shelf and handed it to Naruto.
"This is the most popular novel for men in the entire Ninja World, 'icha icha paradise'."
"?"
Naruto looked at the man and woman in a close embrace on the cover and fell into deep thought.
As expected of you, Jiraiya, one of Konoha's 'Three Great Vices'.
Although he instantly thought of things like 'Ninjaagainst Demons', 'High schoolers with poor grades', or 'The Jade Prayer Mat', he was a good boy. How could he write such a book?
He had to buy it back to 'critique' it.
Naruto's face was full of determination.
If I don't enter hell, who will?
The boss watched Naruto buy 'icha icha paradise' with such a righteous air and couldn't help but scratch his head.
It's just buying a book, right?
Why make it look like he's going to save the world?
icha icha paradise wasn't very thick.
After all, if it were too long, it might cost someone their life.
Naruto flipped through it casually, and after not long, he tossed it into a sealing scroll.
From his past life's perspective, the writing was just average.
Poor readers of the Ninja World, they haven't seen the big world out there.
He'd use this book another day to bribe Kakashi.
Even though the two hadn't met yet.
The next day, Naruto went to the stream in the Forest of Death.
After a night, no people or wild beasts had come to ruin his rice field.
But it wasn't entirely safe after all.
Naruto looked at the bare rice field and suddenly thought of the Nine-Tails.
If it could come out and take a leak, probably no wild beast or Ninja beast would dare approach.
Too bad the seal's gate couldn't be opened.
The things left by the Yondaime were no joke.
Following his previous plan, Naruto began to practice the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Aside from the Three Basic Techniques, this was his first time touching a high-level Ninjutsu.
Recalling the contents from the scroll, his hands quickly formed the seals.
The Chakra inside his body surged out in a swarm following his guidance.
A clone appeared and rapidly expanded, becoming a three-hundred-pound fat man.
As a member of the Uzumaki Clan, Naruto had an extremely vast amount of Chakra in his body, but his current control was terrible.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a little boy with a nuclear bomb.
He wasn't discouraged by one failure.
It was the first time, after all; it's normal to lack experience and not find the right 'position'.
In the following training, there appeared 'aberrants' with two-meter-long legs, stick figures with thin bodies, and mutes who could only make 'aba aba' sounds.
After about half an hour, Naruto learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
With a 'poof', two Shadow Clones appeared in front of him.
"You are Number One. Today's task is to build a Treehouse."
Naruto assigned his plan, pointing toward the forest.
"Okay."
Number One Naruto had no complaints and turned directly toward the forest.
Naruto nodded with satisfaction.
Although the clones had independent consciousness, they completely followed the original's arrangements and wouldn't rebel.
He took out a bag of rice seeds and stuffed them into Number Two Naruto; his task was naturally farming.
Naruto cleared out a flat small training ground outside the rice field.
He was going to do physical training.
The body is the capital of revolution.
While most Ninjas focus on Ninjutsu, physical training is essential.
There are even Taijutsu techniques like the Eight Gates that defy the heavens.
But it's easy to get your 'account banned' (die).
Naruto didn't plan to scheme for the Eight Gates.
He only spent money, not his life.
There was no need to fight to a mutual destruction at the end.
Theoretically, he only needed to pull out the 'big treasure' inside his stomach to be invincible in the world.
Aside from the Eight Gates, there was only the Gentle Fist.
But the Gentle Fist required the Byakugan.
Naruto only knew how to roll his eyes, not how to activate the Byakugan.
So he prepared to have the system help him get one.
Targeted card drawing.
Passive achievements went without saying, but they were a bit hard to trigger.
He was looking at active achievements.
Though most of them were also quite troublesome.
For example, making Danzo Shimura voluntarily give up the position of Hokage.
That meant he couldn't use force to coerce him.
This was simply impossible.
It was as ridiculous as finding a Spark Lens after school and transforming into Light.
And Ultraman Tiga only has three minutes, while Danzo Shimura has been dedicated to becoming Hokage for decades without wavering.
Even though he made Konoha worse and worse.
Besides that, there was making Konan owe a debt of ten billion, making Orochimaru experience the magic of love, making Tsunade become a God of Gamblers, and so on.
Naruto skipped those; his target achievement was reaching a consensus with the Nine-Tails to be able to use its Chakra.
Thinking of the Nine-Tails, he thought of the dog food he got yesterday.
He took out today's bag of dog food, intending to taste it first before throwing it to the Nine-Tails.
He'd start training this fox from the aspect of food.
Tearing open the dog food, an unimaginable fragrance wafted out.
Naruto swallowed his saliva.
Just then, a white light flew across the ground.
At a speed he couldn't react to, it snatched the dog food from his hand.
Naruto froze, looking at the small white dog not far away.
The dignified Nine-Tails Jinchuriki actually couldn't even win a scramble against a dog.
"This dog looks a bit familiar."
