Konoha: I, Naruto, will kill everyone here today.

Konoha Street.

A new day has arrived as scheduled.

On the bustling commercial street, stalls and vendors are spread out one after another, and pedestrians come and go strolling around, enjoying the hard-won peace.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"The owner of the Tanaka Meatball Shop at the end of the village seems to have been admitted to the hospital today."

Shikamaru held the back of his head in his hands, grumbling as he walked.

"Ah, I know. It seems to be a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He was sent in by the ambulance team early this morning."

Inuzuka Kiba added thoughtfully.

"Hey, actually, I know who did this."

Choji, who had been chewing potato chips silently beside him, suddenly stopped and showed a sly smile.

"Who?" Shikamaru opened one eye.

"It's that boy from Naruto!" Chongci grabbed a handful of potato chips and put them in his mouth. "I heard from my dad before that Naruto opened a meatball shop right opposite that shop, and he beat them like crazy. The price war robbed the other party’s business.”

"So I guess 8% of the time he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage because the boss got angry after seeing Naruto's business was so good."

"…………"

After listening to Choji's analysis, the three of them stopped and looked extremely shocked!

"W-is there such a thing!?"

Inuzuka Kiba exclaimed.

"Is that boy Naruto so cruel? I thought he only cried!"

Shikamaru also became interested: "Why don't you go and take a look? Anyway, the store is right in front."

"Okay! Just enough to buy two pairs of meatballs!"

5 minute later.

The three of them arrived at Naruto's stall.

Just like what was heard in the rumors.

At this time, the meatball shop was closed, and opposite the shop door was Naruto's stall.

And business is so good it’s exploding!

There are at least twenty or thirty people in line!

"Naruto!"

Inuzuka Kiba quickly ran over.

"I heard that your business was so good that the owner of the meatball shop opposite was so angry that he was sent to the hospital, right?"

"what?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, recalling with a bit of surprise.

"Actually, you can't say that. He wasn't hospitalized because he saw that my business was doing well."

"What's that for?"

"Maybe it's because I came too early," Naruto explained seriously, "Yesterday morning he opened the door at 6 o'clock, but I came at 5 o'clock. I think he was probably unconvinced, so he opened the door at 5 o'clock this morning. Click the door."

"But he may not have thought that I got up early today and was actually here at 4 o'clock."

Chapter 9 Watermelon Peel Duo: I just caught up with you, why are you adding more pressure?

"???????"

After listening to Naruto's description.

Inuzuka Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji.

The three of them stood there dumbly, speechless...

Originally, they thought that the owner of the meatball shop went to the hospital because he was too angry because Naruto took away his business.

As a result, he was dragged in alive!

With your curling skills like Naruto, even if you don't go to the hospital today, you will have to go to the hospital in a few days!

When you set up a stall at 4 o'clock, are you still a human being?

"Naruto, you guys don't leave a way for others to survive!"

Shikamaru sighed.

Naruto didn't care at all.

Just collecting money and handing out meatballs, he sighed silently:

"Anyway, speaking of which, it's all thanks to me that the boss was able to save his life."

"What?"

"If it weren't for my presence, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that the boss died here."

……

The sun is shining.

Village gate.

It was already lunch time, and the guard who had changed his shift came to the door on time to stand guard.

And this time.

Two watermelon rinds had just finished their long-distance running training and stopped by the wall to rest.

"Hoo, hoo~"

Locke Li put one leg on his knees and one hand on the wall, breathing heavily.

Metkai also stopped raising his legs and moved his muscles on the spot.

"How about it, Xiao Li!"

"Wake up two hours early and run for two hours. Do you feel that the effect is significantly improved?"

Metkai was deeply moved.

Locke Li was the disciple he had just accepted not long ago.

No talent, but extremely tenacious perseverance.

Even after countless failures, he persisted and never gave up his dream of becoming a ninja...

He saw the shadow of his past in Rock Li, the look of desperate struggle.

Such a passionate young man, he, Metkai, will never let him down.

and so.

Even if he is cut into pieces and his body is shattered into pieces, he must be nurtured!

We must let Xiao Li become an excellent ninja!

"Ok!"

"Master Akai!"

Rock Li raised his body, sweat beads swishing out from the ends of his hair.

Thumbs up, he responded enthusiastically.

"Very effective!"

"We were too lax before!"

"A real ninja should get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to run and exercise! Run 20 meters!"

"Early bird gets the worm!"

“I believe that hard work can make up for weakness!”

After hearing what Xiao Li said, Metkai nodded resolutely and responded with a thumbs up.

"That's right!"

"This feeling of blood boiling and your body covered with sweat and afterglow is youth!"

"We have Naruto to thank!"

"If it weren't for him, we might not have discovered that we were so slack in the past!"

"Naruto, he is our guide!"

"Little Li!"

"Master Akai!"

"Little Li!"

"Master Akai!"

"Little Li!"

……

The two people were full of emotions and passion.

finally.

They didn't even control it and just hugged each other!

At this moment, whoever sees this scene will probably be infected by the scorching atmosphere.

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise: What a pair of Konoha men!

however.

at this time……

"Hey, hey, hey, hey—"

The sound of brisk footsteps came from the village gate, coming closer and closer.

Naruto trotted while raising his legs high.

Just like that, he ran all the way to the two of Metkay.

"Huh? What are you two doing?"

Locke Li was startled by the sudden question, while Metkai gave a thumbs up in delight.

"Naruto boy! You're here!"

"We just finished a long-distance run and are about to go to dinner. Do you want to come with us?"

Rock Lee also shouted enthusiastically: "Yes, Naruto! It's rare that we are all passionate men, let's have a meal together! By the way, we can share our running experiences!"

however.

Facing the two people's sincere invitation, Naruto was slightly stunned.

then.

He politely declined.

"Thank you for your kindness, but... I'm afraid it won't work."

"why not?"

"Because my training is not over yet."

? ? ? ?

Hear Naruto's words.

Metkai and Locke Li didn't react for a moment.

After a full two seconds, Metkai swallowed slowly and then asked:
