Chapter 7 I have few friends
Mizuki finally left, and Naruto continued to sit by the river fishing. With the blessing of the full-level fishing buff, it didn't take long for Naruto to successfully catch a large basket of wild black fish.
In addition to the two grilled and eaten before, Naruto doesn't actually need that much big black fish. There is no refrigerator at home, and it will spoil if he takes it back.
At first, Naruto just wanted to try out how useful the full-level fishing technique was, but the result was far beyond his expectation. From the moment he set the hook, he kept catching fish.
Even if there is no bait on the hook, an empty hook seems to be able to catch fish continuously as long as Naruto holds it.
What stopped him from continuing fishing was not time and physical strength, but the fact that the fish basket, which was higher than his waist, was full and could not hold it at all. The fish could even jump out easily with just a slight struggle.
Looking at the basket full of big black fish, Naruto fell silent.
It’s definitely not realistic to take it back and there’s no way to store it.
Sell it? That's impossible. There is no fish shop in Konoha Village that would buy the fish in his hand. Not only would they not buy it, they would even wonder if Naruto stole it from somewhere.
In line with the principle of not causing unnecessary disaster, Naruto gave up the sale.
There is only one way left, give it away.
He has so few friends that he can count them on one hand. Therefore, there is almost no need to hesitate about who to give them to.
The Hyuga clan will definitely not accept his gift, rule it out! Iruka-sensei is single, but after all, he is kind to himself, so give him a few more.
Choji's house was too far away, so Naruto gave up decisively. Shikamaru could give it to him, so I'll give it to him by the way.
Although the old man, the Third Hokage, is a bit old-fashioned, he is not a bad person after all, so let’s give it away!
Haruno Sakura and Ino Totsuchi were excluded by him. At this stage, Naruto's relationship with them is not very good, and suddenly sending some strange things will only disturb people.
"Is this a newly developed ninjutsu by Naruto?" The gray-haired little old man, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, was staring at the scene in the crystal ball and smiling happily.
This is the third generation's favorite peeping technique. Everything that happened to Naruto by the river just now was seen by the third generation.
"Sarutobi, you are too weak." A cold voice sounded, "If the Jinchuriki has hatred towards the village, it will be devastating to the village!"
"Danzo, Naruto has made his choice." The Third Hokage said seriously, stroking his gray beard, "He was not bewitched by Mizuki and rejected him."
"Even if the crystal ball cannot hear the sound, I believe it is not difficult for you to know what Naruto said."
"The jinchūriki have suffered too much unfair treatment in the village, and the conflict between the villagers and Naruto still exists. If we cannot resolve it well, this will be fatal to the village."
"Tch!" Danzo was a little annoyed, "Leave him to me, and I guarantee that he will become the safest weapon in the village."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was unhappy when he heard this, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Danzo, don't cross the line. No matter what, the fourth generation is my student, and the Nine-Tails is sealed in Naruto's body. This is the fourth generation's choice."
"Don't forget, whose son is he?"
"Moreover, safety? Danzo, have you forgotten the tragedy of the Nine-Tails Night ten years ago? The Nine-Tails is not the only one that can be controlled by jinchūriki, Uchiha can also control it."
"The Kyuubi can only be controlled by Naruto, not as an emotionless weapon. Danzo, you can take care of yourself."
Faced with Sandai's warning, Danzo was obviously unconvinced.
The Fourth Hokage, the Sannin, Kakashi, and even the current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. These people all have a close relationship with the Third Hokage, and the position of Hokage may even be passed on only in the hands of these people.
This old guy, Sandai, wants to change the entire Konoha Village on his own. What a dream! This is not the Konoha Village for Sarutobi Hiruzen alone!
"Sarutobi, you will regret today's decision in the future!" After saying this, Danzo left directly.
"Alas."
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, he just sighed softly.
Outside the Nara family's house.
Three knocks on the door broke the tranquility. The one who came to open the door was the dog-headed military advisor of Konoha's number one think tank, Shikaku Nara.
The door was opened, and the bright light in the room rushed out like a thread, hitting Naruto's feet.
Looking at Naruto who smelled like fish, Shikaku seemed a little surprised.
"Naruto? Why are you here? Isn't the school graduation exam tomorrow?"
The main reason why Shikaku was so surprised was because Naruto rarely came to the door. Even when he came to look for Shikamaru, no matter how he greeted him, Naruto would not come in.
He was just standing alone in the shade of the trees outside the door, curiously and nervously looking at the Nara family's house.
In the eyes of others, Naruto might be a naughty child. But Shikaku knew Naruto's inferiority complex and sensitivity, so he never told Shikamaru not to play with Naruto.
Hearing this, Naruto showed a bright smile, reached out and pushed the remaining fish frame to Shikaku, and said loudly.
"I caught too many fish in the past few days, and I can't eat them or store them, so I want to give them to Shikamaru."
There are only five or six fish left in the fish box. After giving away everyone, only Shikamaru's family is left.
"This..." Shikaku scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed when looking at the fish in the basket, "Uncle, I have to ask Shikamaru's mother."
The sound of cooking came from the door, and Shikamaru followed the sound and walked out. He poked his head out from behind his father and took a look at the fish frame, and then his eyes lit up.
"Naruto, you are so awesome. How did you catch so many fish?"
"I don't know either." Naruto scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Maybe I have a talent for fishing."
Lu Jiu on the side couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard this. He thought that such a young child could be so skilled in fishing. It took a lot of hard work to develop it.
The big black fish in the mountains are very smart, and they are not easy to catch even if they are hung with bait. Shikaku once tried fishing, but the Air Force gave up after a few times.
"Naruto, wait a moment." Shikaku left a word, turned around and returned to the house.
After another half day, a box of snacks and a box of food were stuffed into Naruto's hand. Shikaku looked at Naruto who was a little confused and said with a smile.
"This is our thank you gift, please accept it."
Naruto looked at Shikaku, then looked down at the two boxes of food in his hands, and then turned to look at Shikamaru aside.
"Take it." Shikamaru held his head and said indifferently, "If my mother knew that you didn't answer, she would probably be so guilty that she couldn't sleep all night."
"Thank you." Naruto smiled, said hello, and turned to leave.
"Naruto!" Shikamaru suddenly called him, "Don't oversleep on your graduation exam tomorrow!"
"Got it!" Naruto waved and seemed to have listened.
