Chapter 11 Thirty thousand taels? That's a lot

Wait until the two of them leave.

Uzumaki Naruto's expression regained its composure and he casually threw the 30,000 ryo he had just received onto the bed.

Thirty thousand taels! ?

So generous.

If you really want to do this, why don't you increase your monthly living expenses? You are simply trying to sink yourself into darkness.

Giving yourself thirty thousand taels, isn't that just like being a whore and pretending to be a virgin and wanting to be the light in your own life?
To use the words of my previous life, this is PUA and Stockholm syndrome.

This is probably the case with Uzumaki Naruto in the original work.

……

After cleaning up the soup at the door, Uzumaki Naruto put his consciousness into the sealed space.

Pass through a sewer-like space.

Uzumaki Naruto came to the huge cage.

The fox with nine tails that covered the sky slowly opened its eyes, opened its mouth wide to reveal its fangs, and a tyrannical aura emanated from it.

In front of the Nine-Tails, Uzumaki Naruto seemed extremely small, but he was not afraid at all. He smiled and said:

"Nine Lamas, you did a great job. Do you like fish or mice? I'll bring some to you if I have a chance."

The Nine-Tails' face darkened, and it stood up suddenly. It slapped the seal and roared, "Naruto, don't treat me as a fox. I am a tailed beast. Do you understand me?!"

Uzumaki Naruto stroked his chin and smiled, "Don't say that. Foxes are born to eat fish and mice, or do you like to eat rabbits and snakes?"

Kyuubi: "..."

The nine-tailed demon fox waved its nine big tails and said with a dark face: "Naruto, when I get out, the first thing I will do is tear your mouth apart."

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but burst out laughing.

In the entire Konoha Village, the only one who can bring a little warmth to himself is little Hinata.

But the only one in Konoha Village who could quarrel with him was the Nine-tailed Demon Fox, who was as lonely as he was.

……

After a while.

Uzumaki Naruto sat back in his chair, picked up his pencil, and continued writing.

Although reluctant.

Somewhat angry.

But Uzumaki Naruto knew rationally that there was no way he could reverse anything now.

……

Hokage Building.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Kakashi, what did your Sharingan see? Didn't Uzumaki Naruto have any signs of awakening the Diamond Seal?"

Kakashi shook his head slightly.

"No, there is absolutely no sign of awakening the King Kong Blockade."

"The Diamond Seal is a physical bloodline limit. If Uzumaki Naruto is about to awaken the Sharingan, he will definitely be able to see it. However, the Nine-Tails Chakra in Uzumaki Naruto is very active."

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored Kakashi's last words.

Uzumaki Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, isn't it normal for the tailed beasts' chakra to be active?

"Then how do you explain Uzumaki Naruto's recent changes?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment:
"Well... I think it should be the bloodline of the Uzumaki family, just like Master's wife Uzumaki Kushina."

"Although Uzumaki Naruto's hair is golden, he still has half Uzumaki bloodline, so it's normal for him to be stronger."

Only then did Sarutobi Hiruzen feel completely relieved.

He also knew that Uzumaki Kushina was very powerful, and Uzumaki Naruto should have inherited half of that from his mother.

"Okay, you go back first."

--------------

The next day, Uzumaki Naruto walked to the bookstore with dark circles under his eyes and a stack of white papers under his arm.

"Boss, this is the book I wrote, and I want to publish it."

The shop owner looked at Uzumaki Naruto with disgust. He didn't want to serve this monster who was despised by everyone in the village, but his professional ethics still made him pick up the white paper and read it.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

The shop owner's eyes grew wider and wider, and finally with a "puff", two streams of blood spurted out of his nostrils, and he was knocked flying and hit the beam of the house.

The shop owner fell to the ground, his nose bleeding, but he was still holding the white paper tightly in his hand as if he had found a treasure, and he said enthusiastically: "This will definitely be a big hit, this book will definitely be a big hit, otherwise it will be unfair..."

"Oh my god!!!"

"How can there be such an excellent work? It makes people feel like they are there..."

"..."

After coming to his senses, the shop owner hurriedly wiped the blood from his nose and looked at Uzumaki Naruto with shining eyes.

"This, this, this is what you wrote?"

Uzumaki Naruto nodded slightly.

The shop owner no longer cared about his disgust and grabbed Uzumaki Naruto's hand with excitement.

"Uzumaki Naruto, please make sure to publish this book in our publishing house."

"Our publishing houses are all over the ninja world. If you give this book to us, we will definitely make it a hit in the ninja world."

Uzumaki Naruto frowned.

The shop owner said so many things, but not a single word was what he wanted to hear.

"money!!!"

Uzumaki Naruto spoke calmly without any pretense, "How much money are you going to give me!?"

The shop owner finally calmed down and looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a little embarrassment.

"Well, this book hasn't been published yet, so there's no way to do it for now..."

Uzumaki Naruto grabbed directly at his stack of white papers.

"That's fine. I believe other publishers will be interested in my work."

The shop owner was horrified, and quickly hugged the stack of white paper to his chest, shouting: "One million!!!"

"I'll give you a million dollars upfront,"

"This is the limit. If your book wasn't so well written, I wouldn't have paid you so much in advance."

"Even if other publishers offer you as much as I do, it's impossible. Please publish with me."

Uzumaki Naruto smiled.

"Okay, but you have to hide my identity."

The shop owner gave me a knowing look.

After all, he is the "little emperor's uncle", and many authors are reluctant to reveal their real name.

"What's your pen name?"

the shop owner asked.

Uzumaki Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Just call...Menma!"

"Yes, Menma!"

Menma, Namikaze Menma!
The shop owner certainly didn't know the origin of the name, but he didn't say much.

quickly,

A stack of silver bills was brought to Uzumaki Naruto. They were all money circulating in the Land of Fire and could be exchanged anywhere.

Uzumaki Naruto carefully counted:
"One million, just right!"

"After improving some of my strength, I can use it to buy some gifts for little Hinata."
