Chapter 178 Oi Kid, I've got your back, eat as much as you want.
Konoha, Chiba Commercial Street.
Tetsuya walked on the street he had invested in and built, a bustling street lined with all sorts of shops.
One-third of the shops along the street are run by merchants from the Chiba Merchant Guild, while the rest are run by various Konoha ninja clans and some wealthy and powerful merchants.
As he walked down the street, many businessmen greeted Tetsuya.
"Hello, Young Master Wu."
"Young Master Wu, please try some of my family's newly arrived fruit."
'Long time no see, Young Master Wu. I saw you at the casino last time...'
Hello, everyone.
Tetsuya responded cheerfully to everyone. He hadn't expected that quite a few people would recognize him.
However, this is not surprising. After all, as Chiba Tetsuya's 'grandson', even if he doesn't show his face much, those who want to know him will definitely find a way to do so.
Moreover, Tetsuya had often used Chiba Satoru's identity to travel around, and that Chiba Satoru was a legendary figure in the casino world, having already earned the title of the God of Gamblers in the ninja world.
That's amazing, he wins every time he gambles.
There's no way around it, this guy's abilities are too shameless when used for gambling. He can hear what other people are thinking, he knows exactly what cards you have, no wonder he can win every time he gambles.
A group of children ran past on the street.
It looked to be only four or five years old, and its whimpering made Tetsuya, who always preferred to be alone and quiet, a little unhappy.
"Don't run! Why aren't you playing with me, you idiot!"
A blond kid followed behind the group of children, waving his little hands and shouting loudly, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"This brat?"
Tetsuya narrowed his eyes, looking at the blond kid with a few whiskers on his face.
"Naruto? He's already this big?"
The last time he saw Naruto, he was a newborn baby, curled up in swaddling clothes.
I never imagined that this kid would be able to run around everywhere in the blink of an eye. Time really flies. It still feels like Minato's death was just yesterday.
and many more!
Tetsuya suddenly realized something: his perception of time seemed to have become blurred. Was it because he had actually lived for far too long? Or was this the difference between immortals and ordinary people?
At first, you won't notice any problems, but as time goes on, the difference between immortals and ordinary people will become more and more obvious.
"Ugh, how awful! I really want to be friends with everyone."
Although Naruto's physique has been much stronger than others since he was a child, he is only a little over three years old now. How could he possibly catch up with children who are one or two years older than him?
Suddenly, Naruto noticed Tetsuya standing by the roadside, staring at him in a daze. He suddenly became interested; he couldn't believe someone was staring at him for so long.
Everyone else in the village would turn away as soon as they saw him, so why wasn't he afraid of him?
"Hey, big brother, what are you looking at?"
Upon regaining his senses, Tetsuya discovered that Naruto had actually come to stand in front of him.
"Big brother? Kid, are you calling me?"
"Yes, is there anyone else here besides you?"
Naruto turned his head and looked around to make sure no one else was there.
"Goodness, the generational difference is huge."
When I was running a ramen shop in Konoha, the three legendary Sannin were still kids. Back then, it wouldn't have been unreasonable for me to call Hiruzen Sarutobi "big brother."
You're calling yourself "big brother" now, but the generational difference is too great.
However, Tetsuya never cared about these things. He squatted down and looked at Naruto, who was not very tall, and asked.
"Hello, kid. My name is Chiba Satoru, grandson of Chiba Tetsuya, the daimyo of the Land of Grass. Who are you?"
"Chiba Satoru? Hello, big brother Chiba, my name is Naruto."
"You little rascal, you're really something."
Tetsuya found the little Naruto extremely amusing.
Inside the sealed space, Kushina looked at Tetsuya in front of her.
"So he's that person's grandson? He looks so much like that person from back then."
"Hey kid, why are you chasing those people?"
"I saw them playing together and I wanted to play with them too, but as soon as I went over, they ran away. I chased after them, but I couldn't catch them. What a disappointment."
Naruto lowered his head, looking somewhat aggrieved.
"I see."
Tetsuya nodded. It seemed that news of the Nine-Tailed Fox had already begun to spread in Konoha.
Poor Naruto! I thought that with Rin's intervention, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others would at least restrain themselves, but it still turned out like this.
Since that's the case, let Rin go back to Konoha more often. It would be best if she could visit Hiruzen Sarutobi. Anyway, she's already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. In this ninja world, if she wants to leave, basically no one can stop her.
"Since they don't want to play with you, then go find some other kids who do. The ninja village is so big, you're bound to find some friends who want to play with you."
Naruto nodded, clenched his fists, raised his hands, and said.
"I'm sure I'll make friends, my fellow forum members!"
"Gurgle~!"
Just as he was getting excited, a gurgling sound rang out, and Naruto awkwardly lowered his hands.
"I'm starving, fellow forum members."
"Haha, you're really funny, kid. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Thank you, big brother, you're a good person."
"Haha, did I get friend-zoned? But it feels pretty good."
Tetsuya led Naruto toward the Chiba Trading Company's shop.
Tetsuya walked into a barbecue restaurant and waved his hand.
"Choose whatever you want to eat, don't be shy."
"Really?! That's great, fellow forum members!"
Naruto picked up the menu and ordered everything he wanted to eat.
The barbecue restaurant owner looked at Tetsuya, then glanced at Naruto, somewhat troubled.
Tetsuya noticed the expressions on these people's faces and immediately waved.
"Boss, come here. What's with that look on your face just now? Don't you welcome me to dinner?"
"No, no, no, I absolutely didn't mean that. It's an honor for us to have Young Master Wu dine here, but..."
As he spoke, he looked at Naruto again.
Naruto noticed the shopkeeper's gaze, raised the menu, lowered his head, and covered his face with the menu.
Seeing this, Tetsuya sighed, clapped his hands, and two people wearing the Chiba Trading Company insignia walked in from outside.
"Go and tell everyone in the Chiba Merchant Guild that from now on, when that brat Naruto enters a shop under the Chiba Merchant Guild, everyone must serve him and give him discounts, understand? Just say that this is my request, and if anyone has any objections, let him come to me, and I'll have a good talk with him."
"Yes, Young Master Wu."
The two responded and quickly left, relaying Tetsuya's message to the various shops.
“Oi, you little devil, I’ve got your back, so eat as much as you want.”
