RNP Chapter 196 Naruto's Day
Chapter 196 Naruto's Day
Naruto arrived at the Ninja Academy in high spirits, skipping and hopping with joy.
He initially thought he was just having a dream, in which he saw his mother whom he had been longing for day and night.
But when he woke up, he realized that everything that happened yesterday was not a dream.
My mother is in a place called some kind of sealed space, with that big fox.
That big fox was called Nine-Lama, I think. Although it looked fierce, it seemed to be very afraid of its mother.
As expected, my mother is the most powerful. Even such a big fox obediently listens to my mother.
"Look, it's a nine-tailed fox."
"That fox demon is acting a bit strange today."
"That's right, hopping around like that, who knows what mischief he's up to again."
"Let's move away and not let him affect us."
As soon as he entered the Ninja Academy, the other students immediately avoided him.
"I'm not some kind of fox demon boss, am I?!"
Naruto felt quite wronged, even though there really was a big fox inside him.
But that wasn't a fox demon; its name was Nine-Tailed Fox.
Although he wanted to explain to others, his mother had told him that he couldn't casually mention her and the existence of the Nine-Lama to anyone, not even his third-generation grandfather.
Naruto didn't know why he had to do it, but it was what his mother said, and he would listen to her.
The thought of seeing his mother every day instantly dispelled Naruto's unhappiness.
Back in the classroom, I sat down in my seat.
He saw Hinata and several girls.
"Ohayo Hinata."
"Good morning, Naruto!"
When Hinata saw Naruto greeting her, she immediately blushed, and steam began to rise from her head.
Kushina, inside the sealed space, watched this scene and immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
"What an adorable little girl! She must be from the Hyuga clan. She blushed just from greeting our Naruto. Could she be a fan of our Naruto? Hehehehe~!"
Kushina herself is a very precocious person, and she doesn't care about this kind of thing. In fact, she thinks it's quite good. It's nice to develop feelings for a young girl early on.
Didn't she and Minato meet at the Ninja Academy?
Just as I sat down, a little girl with pink hair and another little girl with long blonde hair walked into the classroom.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan~!"
Naruto greeted Sakura warmly when he saw her arrive.
Sakura's smile vanished the moment she saw Naruto.
He nodded in response and then sat down one seat away.
Naruto didn't seem to mind; he was used to it.
"Hey! What's wrong with this little girl?! Can't you at least say something and respond?! What is it about my Naruto that you dislike so much!"
When Kushina saw Naruto being ignored, her temper flared up.
"Hmph, what's there to get so worked up about? Isn't all of this your own choice?"
"Our own choice!"
"Hehe, what, have you forgotten that it was you who chose to seal me inside this child's body? If he weren't a Jinchuriki, if he were just the Fourth Hokage's child, shouldn't he be the center of attention right now?"
Even if someone is terrible, they won't be disliked everywhere they go.
"I......"
Kushina wanted to refute, but she found that she couldn't.
If they hadn't chosen to seal the Nine-Tails inside Naruto, his life as the orphan of the Fourth Hokage would probably have been much better.
However, Naruto was the son of the Fourth Hokage, and sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto was their best option at the time.
"Ugh! You wretched, stinking lama! You're asking for it!"
Since she can't refute it, she might as well just take action. After all, taking action instead of talking is Scarlet Pepper's style.
Kushina pulled out the chains, making Kurama recall the fear he had felt back then.
After teaching Kurama a lesson, Kushina started thinking again. That's right, she was already considering Naruto's future partner.
"Hmm, this girl with the wide forehead isn't very good. Although it's obvious that Naruto likes her a bit, she doesn't like Naruto."
That Hyuga girl is quite nice; she's from a large family, but the Hyuga family has rather strict rules.
That blonde girl is quite nice too; she didn't resist Naruto like the others did...
Just as Kushina was thinking, a girl screamed.
A smug-looking boy walked into the classroom, and as soon as he appeared, he attracted a large group of girls.
"That child looks so familiar, he looks a bit like Mikoto. Could he be Mikoto's child?"
Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha were once considered best friends. At that time, Mikoto became pregnant before Kushina. They were discussing that if their children were a boy and a girl, they would pair them up from a young age; if they were both boys, they would be best friends; and if they were both girls, they would be best friends like them.
But I never expected that something like the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage would happen in the end.
"Hey, Kurama, look at that arrogant kid, isn't he a member of the Uchiha clan?"
"Hmph, what do you take me for?"
"Say it."
Kushina glared at Kurama, who shrank back and then said.
"Yes, that guy must be from the Uchiha clan. His scent is very similar to those with red-eye disease, but it might be a bit milder because he's a kid."
"I see. Then he must be Mikoto's child. Naruto can get closer to that child in the future."
"Tch, arrogant Sasuke, why is he so popular? He's really fallen from grace."
Shikamaru, who was sitting to the side, rested his chin on his hand and said.
"So this is the Uchiha clan. People from the Uchiha clan seem to be quite likable. Oh, right, except for those in the Konoha Police Force."
"Yes."
"Crunch crunch".
Choji said while munching on potato chips.
"I think Uchiha clan members of other ages are all quite likable, after all, the men are all quite handsome and the women are all quite beautiful."
"Crunch crunch".
"I'm pretty handsome too, you're going to be disappointed."
Naruto, arms crossed, sat down in his chair, puffing out his cheeks in a huff.
Choji looked at the sulking Naruto and then at the few potato chips he had left in his hand.
"Okay, celebrity, don't be angry anymore. Come and eat some potato chips."
"Oh~! Arigatoucho!"
Naruto happily took the last potato chip from Choji and stuffed it into his mouth.
Even though there was only a little left, Naruto was very happy.
Because Choji is different from the others, he is not afraid of him and even shares snacks with him. He likes friends like that.
After sharing the snacks, the three of them chatted and laughed, each telling their own funny stories.
Surrounded by girls, Sasuke looked in the direction of the three, watching them laugh and talk. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
