"It's getting late." Iruka looked at the night that had fallen unconsciously, "I'll take you back..."

Uchiha Sasuke replied: "Iruka-sensei, just send this guy back, I don't need it."

Uzumaki Naruto: "..." He originally wanted to retort, but suddenly he thought that in addition to being graduation day, today also seemed to be a once-a-month day when the third-generation grandfather came to see him and gave him living expenses for the next month. So he

After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Teacher Iruka, I can just go back by myself." Just in time, I took this opportunity to go back and then...

"...Is it really okay?"

"Of course!" the blond boy said as he ran away quickly. After running a certain distance, he stopped, turned around and waved to the people and cats with a smile, and then ran away quickly again

Already.

Uchiha Sasuke: "..." He pursed his lower lip, turned around and left.

Iruka scratched his head.

Hatake Kakashi sighed slightly: Hey...young man, it's better not to be arrogant...

After the four cats looked at each other, they caught up with the black-haired boy. Well, this is probably the legend——

"Don't follow me, go away."

"Oh well."

"...Are you really leaving?!"

Something like that... right?

Well... well...

This is the result of duplicity. However, the men of the Uchiha family generally cannot learn this lesson. They will always "know their mistakes but do not correct them, and make them again and again."

In this way, the boy and the four cats returned to the quiet clan place.

at the same time--

Uzumaki Naruto also returned to his slightly dusty residence.

When I returned, the lights in the house were on.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he ran all the way to the living room and shouted: "Third generation grandpa!"

The third generation who was sitting at the table in the living room waiting for someone looked at the young man running over and smiled: "Naruto, congratulations on your successful graduation."

On the table, in addition to the envelope containing the fixed monthly living expenses, there was also a small strawberry cake.

"Thank you, Third Generation Grandpa!" Naruto Uzumaki looked at the cake with a look of surprise on his face, "Is this for me?"

"Of course." Sandai replied with a smile, "It's a small gift to congratulate you on your graduation, but you have just finished dinner, right? Do you still have stomach to eat?"

Uzumaki Naruto touched his belly and said with a shy smile: "It doesn't seem to be there... take it back to eat with the bean paste sauce and the others later. Well, I can give the strawberry to Sasuke." Sasuke doesn't like sweets.

He remembered it very clearly, but he probably didn't hate strawberries.

Sasuke had shared everything with him, so the small gift to celebrate graduation had to be shared with Sasuke.

"Soga..." The third generation was stunned for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Are you... planning to stay at Sasuke's house later?"

"Yeah!" Uzumaki Naruto answered without much concealment in front of his most trusted elder, "I plan to pack up my things and move there completely. Anyway, Sasuke's house is very big, and living alone is boring."

"...This is it." Sandai pondered for a moment, "Is... Sasuke's suggestion?"

"No, he has been reluctant, but I will not give up!" Uzumaki Naruto puffed up his chest and said with pride, "He can't drive me away, I will definitely live in it!"

The third generation was speechless and thought: Little Naruto, do you know that this behavior is usually called "stalking". Fortunately, Sasuke is not a girl, otherwise, he could have called the police.

But as the elder of this child, he has a sense of deja vu as he looks at the younger generation desperately trying to support him. How should I put it...

It kind of reminds me of my past, and it's a little bit eye-catching. In short, I have mixed feelings.

"Hey, third-generation grandfather..."

"Um?"

"If I can really live in Sasuke's house, this house...otherwise I should return it to the village." Naruto Uzumaki looked around the house he had lived in for many years with some reluctance, and whispered, "There are also living expenses.

, I will be an official ninja from now on, and I can earn my own living expenses."

"...Why did you suddenly say that?" Sandai was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Did someone say something to you?"

"No..." Uzumaki Naruto waved his hand, "Sandaime Grandpa, you said in the past that there are not many orphans like me in the village who have independent residences, and most of them live in orphanages. And then,

It’s weird to still receive living expenses since I can already make my own money. So, if I have a new residence and earning power, I can use these to help other people who are more in need.”

The third generation was stunned again, and replied: "Is this so..." After a moment of silence, he replied, "The village is currently...not very short of houses, so this house should still be in your name for the time being.

"

Uzumaki Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some embarrassment: "Hehe... After living here for so many years... I am still somewhat reluctant to part with it. However, if the need arises, please tell me, Third Generation Grandpa, that I will completely destroy this place."

Clean it up and you won't cause trouble to anyone who comes to live in the future."

"Yes." The third generation smiled and nodded, "As for living expenses...well, you are right, you will be a real ninja from now on, and you should really be self-reliant. Once again - Naruto, congratulations on your successful graduation and becoming a Konoha

Genin."

A bright smile appeared on the face of the blond boy again, and he put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "Wait, Grandpa Third Generation! It won't be long before I become the Fifth Generation Eye, and then I will have my face carved on the shadow rock.

of."

"Hahahaha... Then I'm looking forward to that day. However, with your current strength, you're still far from it, Naruto."

"Yes, I will continue to work hard!" Uzumaki Naruto puffed up his cheeks and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, by the way, Third Generation Grandpa, if you are the Hokage, you must know the results of tomorrow's class placement, right? I am

Are you in the same class as Sasuke? Who is our teacher?"

"Well..." Sandai gave up, and then did the same thing as Hatake Kakashi, "Keep it secret."

"Hey???" The little golden retriever ran to the person unhappily and pulled the other person's clothes with both hands, "Just reveal it a little bit! Just reveal it a little bit! Third-generation grandfather, please!"

"Then..." Sandai pondered for a moment, then raised a finger, "I'll tell you a little bit."

"Hmm? What what?"

"Your teacher..."

"Then? Then?"

"He is an outstanding jounin."

"...That's it?"

"That's it."

After that, until the third generation left, Uzumaki Naruto did not get any results. In the end, he had to admit that the third generation grandfather was worthy of being a Hokage, and his ability to keep secrets was truly top-notch.

Even in the face of a transformation technique that he had once defeated a Jonin, he could still stick to his principles while suffering from nosebleeds. Well, he is a bit wretched and remarkable.

Sir, it’s really complicated~

After bidding farewell to the third generation, Uzumaki Naruto carefully picked up the precious little cake, put it into the refrigerator, and then began to pack his daily necessities——

clothing.

pajamas.

Fat times.

towel.

Oh, and pillows...

Ah, and more...

That's right, he came back specifically for another purpose, which was to find a chance to - well - pack up his belongings and move completely to his friend's house for food and accommodation. Of course, he would obediently hand over the living expenses.

Unknowingly, the night was getting darker and darker, and a huge green package appeared on the boy's bed.

"Hey..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his back and tried hard to pick up the package full of things - maybe to outsiders, it seemed that everything here was filled with rags. But, it was true.

It's his treasure.

Soon after, he faced a problem...

That is, it is impossible to go out smoothly with a package on your back.

But soon, he thought of a good way, which was to jump out of the window with the cake and the package on his back!

Uzumaki Naruto stood by the window and opened the window.

Just at this moment...

A dark shadow brushed across his cheek.

The young man's golden hair instantly rose.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

"...Ah, ah?" Uzumaki Naruto turned his head in confusion and saw a man wearing a mask and black night clothes, lying on his floor, seemingly passed out.

A huge scroll rolled out of the man's arms, followed the floor, and came to his feet.

The little golden retriever looked confused.
