Chapter 54 I Don't Want to Go Hungry
Chapter 54 I Don't Want to Go Hungry
Kushina then directed Naruto to tidy up some of the things that were lying around the house.
"What do you usually do if you're not in school today?"
Kushina asked.
Naruto sat down on the stool unhappily.
"I don't have any friends. I usually just go fishing or play by myself."
Although Naruto knew Shikamaru and the others, he couldn't run into them all the time.
More often than not, Naruto is easily bullied.
"You've fought Sasuke so many times and lost every time. Now that you can eat your fill, you should go out and train."
"You lost the high jump competition before, don't you want to win it back next time?"
Kushina also started by working with Sasuke to guide Naruto.
Naruto still cares about Sasuke.
Kushina's two sentences ignited Naruto's fighting spirit.
"You're right, Whirlpool. I should train and win next time."
Naruto finished getting ready and went out.
Meanwhile, the secret agents who were staking out his residence immediately followed.
This kid doesn't usually go to school or go out much. What's he planning to do today?
Then several ANBU members saw Naruto arrive at the stream.
They ran around in circles and jumped there.
No one can predict the whimsical ideas of children this young.
But the Anbu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Naruto hadn't caused any trouble.
After all, Naruto had almost killed someone the day before.
Although those people nearby had been severely warned, it was best for Naruto not to get close.
Kushina didn't make any particularly strict demands on Naruto.
Just let Naruto run and jump around on his own.
The main thing is to get Naruto into the habit.
Naruto was messing around with himself, but he didn't show any impatience.
Because there is a voice that can talk to him in his mind.
Naruto kept asking questions.
For example, what does his mother look like, and what does his father look like?
And they never came to see him or anything like that.
Naruto didn't even know if his parents were still alive.
He asked a lot of questions.
But Kushina basically never replied to him.
She was also very upset to hear these questions, and they once again questioned the correctness of Minato sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto.
If Naruto hadn't become the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, he would have suffered far less.
Kushina also felt very guilty.
Naruto fussed around for a while, and it was noon.
"Gu..."
As Naruto's stomach growled, his energy plummeted.
"Which store did you usually buy your bento boxes from?"
Kushina suddenly asked Naruto.
Naruto stammered for a moment:
"I'm not eating bento boxes anymore. My grandfather's money could buy so much Ichiraku Ramen."
Kushina knew the reason Naruto was stammering: the shop that sold him his bento boxes.
Although sometimes I would sell bento boxes to Naruto at a special price.
But they all contained sand or other garbage in their bento boxes.
Naruto naturally didn't want to buy a bento box to eat.
Kushina has a very strong memory of Naruto eating a bento box with sand in it.
We must help Naruto overcome this difficulty.
"Just go because I tell you to. Do you want to go hungry for the rest of your life?"
"I...I don't want to go hungry!"
Naruto felt miserable whenever he thought about the days when he was sometimes full and sometimes hungry.
So, I decided to listen to Whirlpool and headed towards the bento shop.
Naruto was very careful along the way, worried that someone would bully him again.
Throughout his journey, everyone still avoided him like the plague.
But no one scolded him; even the bad kids would avoid Naruto when they saw him.
Naruto was a little confused about this, but it was good that no one was bullying him.
Naruto arrived at the bento shop unharmed.
However, the bento shop owner's expression turned grim when he saw Naruto appear.
Naruto shrank back, but the shopkeeper didn't kick him out.
He went to the bento shelf and looked for the cheapest one.
Kushina then instructed, "Take the one next to your hand."
Naruto glanced at the price: 1000. That's quite expensive for a bento box.
"But I only have a thousand dollars. If I buy this, I'll go hungry."
"Listen to me, you won't go hungry anymore."
"Really?" Naruto was somewhat skeptical.
Kushina snorted: "If you behave, I can tell you what your mother looks like."
Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately picked up the boxed lunch that was priced at 1,000.
Even if we have to go hungry, that's a problem for later.
Knowing what your mother looks like is the most important thing.
"Boss, check please!" Naruto placed the bento box on the counter and then slapped on the 1000 yen that the Third Hokage had given him.
The shopkeeper looked at Naruto with some surprise, knowing that Naruto was very poor.
He picked up the thousand-yuan bill and looked at it, thinking to himself that the money was counterfeit.
He then remembered that the secret service had warned him just yesterday, which was why he accepted the money.
The shopkeeper looked at Naruto with a very malicious gaze and shouted, "I'll take your 1000, that's just right."
With practiced ease, she secretly scooped up some sand from the greenery next to the counter and stuffed it into the lunchbox.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had accepted the money.
As soon as he took the bento box, an ominous feeling immediately arose.
Because there was sand in the bag of the bento box.
Kushina sneered, "Take out your bento and open it."
Naruto was still angry and immediately took out the bento box: "Boss, you put sand in the bento again."
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, but he looked around and saw that everyone nearby was keeping their distance from Naruto.
So he retorted fiercely, "What nonsense are you spouting? I think you added that yourself!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Naruto was both angry and anxious!
"That's how it's supposed to be, are you just trying to avoid paying?" the boss started arguing unreasonably.
"I've already paid!"
Kushina said in Naruto's mind:
"Stop talking, just do as I say. This will punish him and ensure you never go hungry again."
Naruto was already anxious, but now he suddenly had someone to rely on.
"Whirlpool, what should I do?"
"Smash the bento box on the ground." Naruto hesitated for a moment, then immediately did as he was told.
"Thud!" Naruto slammed his bento box on the ground.
The shop owner was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing?!"
Kushina continued to instruct, "Smash all the bento boxes on the shelf next to you onto the ground!"
"what?"
"What do you mean, 'If you want to know what your mother looks like, just do as I say'?"
"Don't lie to me!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Naruto immediately ran to the shelf next to him, grabbed the bento box, and threw it on the ground!
"Hey! What are you doing, you little brat!?"
The shopkeeper flew into a rage and rushed out from behind the counter to grab Naruto.
Naruto ducked in surprise, his foot involuntarily sticking out.
It immediately tripped the boss, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt, and knocked his own shelf askew.
A large number of bento boxes and snacks fell to the ground.
