Chapter 16: Konoha is disturbed
At night, the Hokage's office—
Naruto was still facing the piles of documents that were stacked like Tsunade's debts back then, and he kept reviewing them.
At this time, Sakura crawled in through the window again, "It's still such an exaggeration, Naruto." ”
"Hah......" Naruto yawned, "Sakura-chan, I heard you're training Boruto." ”
"Yes, the mid-ninja exam is coming soon, do you have to care more about your son...... No, you don't seem to care enough about it. Although I don't seem to have the right to say this in front of you without children, at least I usually talk to my son, who already has such convenient things as email and chat software. Sakura Misaka said reproachfully. ”
"The computer in the Hokage's office isn't good for this kind of personal thing. Naruto said.
"There's no need for such rigid Hokages like Tsunade and Kakashi, I don't believe they won't be secretly drinking and reading Yellow Books here. Secretly typing a few lines is nothing at all. Sakura said, "And—"
Sakura picked up a few papers, and a large stack of papers like this one on the table certainly wouldn't have been classified.
"Naruto, look, you are in charge of the budget of the examination room for the middle ninja exam, the taxes of related industries, and so on, why are you going to personally review the store registration list and the cleaning of the venue? At least three-quarters of the trivial things are trivial, and these should be sent to my subordinates! Your current behavior seems to have brought Boruto's 'fear of civil servants', and if he is not interested in the future, no matter how much training he has, it will be in vain." Sakura Misaka is here to say ............"
Because I saw a story about a large number of merchants being "looted" during the middle ninja exam, Sakura was not calm all of a sudden.
"Ah, I'll think about it. ”
"Boruto's material life is much better than you were back then, his clothes are brand new, and his family is there, but I feel that he is a little similar to Sasuke when he was a child, why do you think that? ”
"Well, Boruto is really not quite like me, and I once thought that Boruto was a little similar to Sasuke in the past, but, sure enough, it's still not like anyone, the young people of this era have the appearance of this era, and we may be outdated. ”
"Outdated?"
"I made a bet with Sasuke yesterday about whether our descendants inherited the ninja soul of our former state. I bet no, Sasuke bet yes. Sakura-chan, do you want to take a gamble?"
"I think you won, Naruto, and I'll bet no. The soul of a ninja?motivation is fundamental, and a ninja is just an external embodiment. ”
"Self-motivated, doesn't that sound like a refutator. ”
"In short, pay more attention to your family, don't let your family members still be alive, and you will feel how you felt back then. Sakura Misaka reminds here. ”
"Ahh
"Bye-bye. Sakura jumped out of the window again, she also had a "little thing" to deal with.
"Hmm. Naruto glanced at Sakura's jumping out of the window, and his smile gradually narrowed, the most important thing in this period is still ............

Late at night, in a hotel room -
"Chloe!" Sakura slammed the door open, looking at the pile of goods piled up in the room, "Today you took Ghost Pill and a few tailed beasts to 'loot' a lot of merchants and then were blacklisted!"
"Wow!" Chloe whispered, pretending to be serious, "Sister Sakura is so fierce today, I'm so scared." Why do you think I'm the one who takes the lead?"
"You're the only one of them who has a mischievous personality, aren't you?"
"Black, did you do anything like that?" asked Ghost Maru.
"How is it possible, I am obligated to fight fakes. Chloe said, patting her chest.
"When did 'tourists' also have the right to crack down on counterfeiting...... I'll report this kind of thing to the industrial and commercial department. Sakura didn't bother to refute directly.
"But," Chloe said slyly, "wouldn't that make you nothing?"
"Sister Sakura, I think I'm just spending normally, and I don't feel like there's any counterfeiting. Ghost Pill said.
"What exactly have you done?" Sakura Misaka asked. ”
Chloe: "I won all the prizes from the shooting booth that I fixed the prizes to the base with all-purpose glue—"
Ghost Maru: "The goldfish shop with a small slit in the paper net pocket and all the goldfish is fished out or something-"
Chloe: "I bought all the tickets at the lottery shop where there was no fourth prize or more, scratched it off on the spot and found that there were really no first, second and third prizes, and then threatened to defraud or something-"
Ghost Maru: "Clip all the water balloons out of the water balloon shop where the clips were unscrewed—"
………………
Chloe: "By the way, some of the stalls that have been vacated have been taken over by the Tailed Beasts, are you going to check them out tomorrow?"
"Doesn't the village stipulate that ninjas can't spend money in these kinds of shops, let alone operate such shops?" Sakura said, saying that this rule is clear all over the world, for no other reason, ninjas' physical abilities are too high, and participating in this kind of thing is simply not allowing ordinary people to live.
"But, Sakura-san, we're not ninjas now, are we?" Chloe said.
"The definition of 'ninja' here is a person who cultivates. ”
"Hehe, that's right, but the cultivation energy system of this world is chakra, as long as we don't use chakra, no one has anything to say, Ghost Pill and I have already eliminated the low-quality energy of chakra, and the tailed beasts' ability to hide their chakra is no problem, don't be so rigid, right? Sister Sakura, this is not like you. Chloe said.
"I don't care about normal things, but please don't trouble Naruto. Sakura Misaka pleaded earnestly!"
"Did we cause Naruto trouble? I'm so sorry, Sakura-san. Ghost Pill closed his eyes and lowered his head, even after all this time, Ghost Pill still had a certain sense of gratitude to Naruto who made him realize his belonging.
"A shop run by a tailed beast...... It's okay, right?," Sakura Misaka said with some concern. ”
"Don't worry," Chloe gave a thumbs up, "in the years you've made them live in your world, they've had a good habit of the city, even without humans. ”
"Alas, the problem is that they are black households in this world. There won't be a problem when it comes to registration, right? There will be times when you have to ask Naruto to take care of you............" Sakura sighed.
"No problem, Sasuke has already helped with it. ”
"That's good...... "Sakura was surprised, is Sasuke the one who would do such a thing?"
At the moment, not only is the middle ninja exam imminent, but if the tailed beasts are almost all exposed in Konoha Village, I really don't know what the reaction of other countries will be, and there are also big barrel peach-style things to be afraid of, there are too many things.
Because Sasuke had already agreed with Naruto's philosophy and didn't want to make any more extraneous things, it made sense for Sasuke to do this.
