With the appearance of the first rays of sunlight in the morning, the darkness covering the main land began to gradually subside, and the sleeping people in Shayin Village also woke up one after another and started a new day.

At the same time, Naruto, who was staying at the inn, woke up from a full sleep on the soft bed for the first time in a long time, and got a good night's sleep, so that the mental state of all the staff returned to the best state. Energetic, he walked out of the hotel and began to take action in earnest.

And their first goal today is...... I went shopping in Shayin Village, and I went to buy women's clothes.

Yes, you heard it right, after coming all the way to the Sand Hidden Village, Naruto did not immediately start searching for the location of My Airo, but on a whim, he wandered around the shopping streets of the Sand Hidden Village, picking and choosing to buy women's clothes.

Of course, this women's clothing was definitely not Naruto's own intention to wear, but was used for the purpose of changing clothes for the mother and daughter. After all, in the many years of life in Kushinobi Village, although the mother and daughter of Xianglin have some clothes of their own, in that environment, the fabric is obviously shoddy and unworn. And after many days of long travel in the desert, the clothes on everyone's bodies have long been covered with dirt...... Naruto and his party, who had made sufficient preparations in advance, said that they still had some clothes that they could change. But for the mother and daughter who fled from the control of the Grass Ninja Village in a hurry, so that they only grabbed some of the clothes casually, they were already a little stretched thin when the clothes were either dirty or damaged.

Well...... Strictly speaking, the amount of dirt and damage to the clothes is not to the point where they cannot be worn, so that when hiking outside, it is okay to wear them. It's just that at the moment, Naruto and his party have arrived in the densely populated Sand Hidden Village. If you want to maintain your image and not attract the attention of others too much, it is obviously necessary to wear clean and fresh clothes that follow the local customs.

In addition, the reason why Naruto was able to decisively decide that the first thing he did the next day after his group arrived in Sand Hidden Village was to go to the shopping street to buy women's clothes, and that was to help Xiang Ryu change into a more serious children's clothes.

When she first met Kaori, she inadvertently blurted out the title of "father" to Naruto, and along the way, compared to Itachi and Shisui, Kaori was obviously more affectionately dependent on Naruto. Naruto, who was already an adult in his mental age, gradually raised the status of Kaori to the same level as a small group fan without even realizing it, and naturally defaulted to being a little guy he had newly adopted. So that as a "father", he naturally would not be willing to let his baby daughter suffer the slightest bit of hurt and grievance.

Because of this, Naruto, who was dissatisfied with the way Kaori dressed along the way, had long had the idea of changing his appearance - because God knows if it was the customs of Kusano Ninja Village, forced obedience, or the little guy's personal preferences. From the moment Naruto saw Kaori, this young guy was actually dressed in a miniskirt with a pair of mesh socks!

Although this way of dressing up, it is not unusual for Naruto, who has seen a lot of little loli in his previous life who dresses with short skirts and stockings. But it's clear that in the Hokage world, at least, in the current era, Kaori's outfit is obviously too exposed and stands out from the crowd in the eyes of outsiders. After all, just the indigenous little Lori that Naruto has seen with his own eyes, whether it is Hinata, Ino, or Sakura, even in the hot summer, they are all dressed in strict and decent trousers. It is enough to see that in the Naruto world in the current timeline, the dress of girls is still quite conservative. And living in the Hokage world for a long time, under the subtle influence of the locals, Naruto is naturally not very happy to see his baby "daughter" dressed too cool and exposed in front of outsiders.

What's more, as a desert wilderness in the desert of Shayin Village, almost every day of the year, under the condition of being poisoned by the hot sun, the clothes are too cool, but it is easy to get sunburned skin. As a result, the costumes of the residents of Shayin Village have long been changed from generation to generation based on demand, and they have long been turned into a large-area coverage style based on insulating sunlight, which naturally makes the decoration of the incense burnt more conspicuous and weird...... In other words, whether it is to avoid the attention of others, to prevent outsiders from eating his "daughter's" tofu with their eyes, or to let the young Xianglin's immature skin avoid sunburn as much as possible, let the little guy change his clothes, it is a priority.

Well...... It's just that, on the other hand, as a four-year-old boy Naruto who hasn't even grown a single hair, the fact that he treats another little Lori of the same age as his daughter is full of weird disobedience...... God knows that Naruto lifted the disguise of the transformation technique and showed the same immature true face to the Kaori. What a wonderful and spectacular change in the expression on the face of the Kaori, who had been confused by the appearance of the transformation technique and thus relied on Naruto as a reliable elder......

As for why Naruto didn't directly help Kaori mother and daughter bring some change of clothes when he used the Flying Thunder God technique to travel back and forth to Konoha Ninja Village many times, instead of having to wait until he arrived in Sand Hidden Village, he used the function of a mobile wallet and let Kario's mother and daughter personally choose their favorite clothes...... First of all, it's because Naruto doesn't know the measurements of Xiangri's mother and daughter at all, so he can't guarantee that the clothes are absolutely fit and comfortable. And the other more important reason is because......

For Naruto, an otaku who was a single dog who silently nibbled on dog food until he crossed over. He is a straight man of steel, as long as he feels comfortable in it, no matter whether the appearance of this dress is ugly or handsome, he will not care how bad the aesthetics are, Naruto is still self-aware.

Rather than choosing clothes on your own, how ...... it is to show your aesthetic to others in public Well, it's better to save worry and be a little ugly, and honestly wait to help Xiangrio's mother and daughter pay for it, so as to avoid this clothing matching scheme that is equivalent to a proposition for Naruto, it is much more appropriate.

……

In Naruto's previous life, he had heard others mention many times that girls were born with a love of shopping sprees...... Now it seems that even in the Naruto world, which has a completely different worldview, this law is still quite applicable.

No, no, it was originally because he was woken up by Naruto early in the morning, so he pouted all the way and muttered a little unhappy incense. After Naruto led him into the commercial street of Sand Hidden Village, the lingering grievances and dissatisfaction on his face because Naruto disturbed his dream suddenly disappeared. In front of the dazzling array of goods, it was like a fascination, and the eyes were shining and I couldn't walk.

"Uh-huh——! That's a lot of clothes——! Yes! It smells good——! There's so much to eat! Is this paradise...... Uh-oh! Good – painful——! I'm not dreaming, alas! ”

The distinctive costumes of Shayin Village, as well as the unique and fragrant desert food brewed in the harsh yellow sand of the yellow sand all over the place, made Xiang Lian exclaim again and again, and he was even more afraid that he was dreaming, so he reached out and twisted his little face. Immediately exclaimed in pain, while personally verifying that what he saw was true, the smile on his little face became more and more rich and happy. As if he remembered something, his little hand reached out again, and his eyes shone brightly and tugged at Naruto's sleeve and tugged at it.

"Nana, Brother Naruto, these clothes, I'm ...... Can I really pick and choose?! ”

"Hahaha, of course, silly girl, it's not like you're dreaming...... As long as it is something that I have personally promised, then I will naturally do it. ”

Seeing that the people around him had gradually gotten rid of the shadow left in her heart since leaving the Grass Ninja Village, and the innocent and bright smile that belonged to her current child age that appeared on her face more and more frequently, Naruto suddenly seemed to be infected, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn upward, revealing a doting and gentle smile. After a slight pause, he stretched out his hand to help Xiang Lian gently rub his faintly red and painful little face, and at the same time, because Xiang Lian enjoyed it, he squinted his eyes obediently and rubbed his palm, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger. Then he tried to suppress the smile contained in his words, and responded with a pretending to be serious and teasing.

"Well, let me think about it...... Although the money brought with you this time is far from enough for you to buy an entire shop...... But I think it's more than enough for you to buy 180 pieces of your favorite clothes in this commercial street. ”

This is not an exaggeration by Naruto...... Now, with the three generations of Hokage, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and the root organization behind Naruto as a solid backing, look at the entire Konoha Ninja Village, and even the entire ninja world. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that Naruto is the second generation of the most qualified official and the second generation of Kafu. So much so that it is just to help the child's nature gradually recover to satisfy the desire to shop, naturally it is not a problem at all.

"Really...... It's true?! Yay——! That's great! ”

After receiving Naruto's response again, Kaori, who had been tickled by the shopping instinct that had gradually awakened from the first sight, suddenly burst into joy with uncontrollable joy. He jumped up on the spot, gave Naruto a big koala-like hug, and kissed Naruto on the cheek with a smile before he landed on his feet satisfied. Under the instinctive impulse to enjoy the shopping spree that became more and more irrepressible, he jumped up and ran to the nearest clothing store.

"Hee-hee! Brother Naruto is the best! I like Brother Naruto the most! So, I'll go to that store first! ”

“…… Poof, I don't know where I learned this kid...... Hey, hey! Slow down, Ryo Tea! Don't fall! ”

Caught off guard by the little guy's kiss, Naruto was slightly stunned for a moment under the tender soft touch. Then he shook his head and sighed softly, and then put his hands together in the shape of a trumpet and said loudly. Finally, because he was still a little uneasy, Naruto put his hands down and turned his head a little sideways, asking Shisui who was standing beside him to do nothing.

"It's so unsettling...... Now, Zhishui Sang, can you help me watch that little girl? ”

"Judging by your expression, even if I want to refuse, I can't refuse, right?"

Seeing that the tone of the verbal was a request for help, but the eyes were really firm and sharp, the moment made Zhishui feel that he was very likely to choke today because of acting as a shopping bag porter for Xianglian. While pretending to be aggrieved, he spread his hands, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he teased Naruto in a gentle voice.

"Tsk, I'm obviously here to be a guard, but now I have to work part-time as a nanny......"

"Zhishui-san, if you can help me take care of that child, after I go back, I can answer one of your questions unconditionally."

“…… Well! Babysitter or something, this job sounds like a perfect fit for me! Don't worry, Naruto, I'll definitely take care of that kid...... Feed! Girl! Wait for me! Don't run that fast! ”

"Instant reversal, my dear friend...... Your festival is shattered......"

Seeing the figure of his best friend, who suddenly became full of enthusiasm and quickly disappeared from the lack of interest, and Naruto who showed a planned smile beside him. Itachi, who knew Naruto's personality well, instantly understood what his best friend was calculating by Naruto, so that this seemingly mutually beneficial condition was actually sold by Naruto, and he was willing to help Naruto count the money. While helplessly raising his hand to support his forehead, he sighed softly with the specific words of Naruto's previous life through the memory of Naruto he had. While thinking of something, taking advantage of the opportunity to be alone with Naruto now [Xiang Li's mother, under Naruto's arrangement, went to the hospital in Sand Hidden Village for further physical examination, so that now she is separated from everyone], lowered her volume a little decibels, raised her eyebrows and continued softly.

"Speaking of which, Naruto...... We came all the way from the village to Shayin Village, and it turned out that we were just shopping in the shopping street, is it really no problem? From what I know of you, your purpose should be more than just to buy clothes for Xiangri. Moreover, you once said that Xiang Li's mother's body has recovered like ordinary people, why did you deliberately let her go to the hospital to queue up and wait for that lengthy and redundant physical examination? ”

"Hehe, sure enough, no matter how good the acting skills are, you can hide from the water stopper...... But I still can't hide it from you, Itachi-san. ”

Now that they have arrived in Sand Hidden Village, and the mother and daughter of Shisui and Xiangru have been deliberately separated, Naruto has not continued to hide the true purpose of this trip from Itachi. Holding his head in his hands and laughing, he explained unhurriedly and slowly.

"In fact, the reason for deliberately coming to Shayin Village from the village, as well as deliberately taking a detour to Kusano Village on the way to save Xianglian's mother and daughter from their predicament, is to find and save the heart of a little guy...... It's just that this little guy is in a similar situation to mine, making him quite unstable and extremely dangerous. In addition, I am not completely sure whether the contact with him will go smoothly, so I naturally want to let the weak Xianglian mother and daughter find a safe place as much as possible and stay away from danger in advance. ”

"Similar to yours? Dangerous? You mean...... The human pillar power of Shayin Village? ”

After only a few breaths, through his understanding of Naruto and the key words he keenly captured in his words, Itachi succeeded in surmising the identity of the target person of Naruto's trip. He didn't ask too much about why Naruto wanted to do this, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows again in response.

"Indeed, apart from the eight-tailed human pillar force in Yunyin Village, I have never heard of any village where the human pillar force state can be as stable as a normal person like you...... However, we don't know each other well, so where are you going to find it first? ”

"Didn't I say that? The child's situation is somewhat similar to mine, they are all ostracized and feared by the village...... In other words, as long as there are signs of villagers fleeing away from this Shayin Village, you can roughly determine the location of the child. ”

As he spoke, Naruto's eyes slowly closed. After a moment's pause, the beard marks on his face deepened like the beard of a real beast. The moment the originally blue eyes opened again, one of them also completely transformed into a terrifying beast pupil with scarlet vertical eyes. made Naruto's original approachable temperament gradually render a bit of a vicious and cold taste.

"Besides, the smell of the stinky civet cat, no matter how far away it is, the old man can smell it clearly......"

"That being said, but for the one-tailed Shouhe who was also extracted from the Ten Tailed Chakras by the Six Dao Immortals and created and endowed with life, thus collectively known as one of the Nine Tailed Beasts with you, in a sense, it should be regarded as a brotherly relationship?"

However, before the image of "Naruto" suddenly becoming cold lasted long, Naruto's lips opened and closed again, and he returned to his usual playful and teasing appearance. Immediately, as if he deliberately wanted to dismantle "his own" platform, he began to try to hold back his laughter and mutter. And between the words, the volume decibels under intentional or unintentional control just happened to make the weasel standing beside him hear these words clearly.

"Obviously, because I haven't seen you for so long, you miss it a little, Ninth Lama? Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to my request so readily and personally helped me find the pillar of the crane guard! ”

“…… Shut up, bastard Naruto! If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person! ”

"Slightly, I'm just telling the truth~ What, is it possible, is it possible that I poked the center~"

"Shhh——! Stinky little ghost, you wait, see if I don't ......! ”

“…… Naruto, he ...... What kind of trouble is this......"

Looking at Naruto, who has a great change in temperament in front of him, he is full of cold arrogance for a while, and he is like a self-complaining fragmented thought for a while, which makes the overall image more comic. Rao was accustomed to seeing Itachi, who had Naruto's changeable nature, and couldn't help but freeze in place.

"Fine...... Schizophrenia? Should I go get a doctor for him first? ”

Naruto: As a pure little child underage, I, Naruto Uzumaki, am dead! Dead outside! will never accept the role of "father" because of a misunderstanding!

Ouch my mother, my daughter is so cute...... Okay, good, buy, buy, all depend on you.
