Konoha Year 60, July 7th | Weather: Sunny (Probably) | Konoha's Sun is Open for Business
At 8:00 AM, the world's sun dutifully peeked out from the east. Konoha's sun, however? Heh! Today, that venerable elder, Naruto Uzumaki, was feeling whimsical and decided to rise majestically from a steaming hot spring, complete with two human-sloth accessories dangling from him.
At 9:00 AM, in the hot spring VIP room, Naruto Uzumaki warmly met with the King of Lateness and seasoned expert in 'Liu Bei style' erotic novels (crossed out), the elite supervising Jonin—Kakashi Hatake! Both sides reached several important consensuses in a warm, enthusiastic, and constructive atmosphere! The talks were fruitful, and both host and guests departed in high spirits! After the talks, Kakashi-sensei directly hauled away Sasuke (human accessory, key-demander) and Sakura (Sage Land VIP member, Sakura), leading them into specialized training. This left behind only Konoha's sun, Naruto Uzumaki, who was about to embark on the grand endeavor of pioneering a new era of "Wood Style + Flying Thunder God"!
At 10:00 AM, at the Ninja World Daily, Konoha Provisional Headquarters - Top Star Naruto Uzumaki Special Feature. Naruto Uzumaki sat with his legs crossed, adopting a boss-like posture: "Oh, Dahira, your KPIs are looking good recently." Uchiha Rokutsu (crossed out), Tsuchiumi Dahira, rubbed his hands obsequiously, a fawning smile on his face: "All thanks to your awe-inspiring power, Boss! The moment your stunning photo was published, the Focus on the Konoha Chunin Exams special issue sold like crazy! Girls were practically trying to bust down the newspaper stands, almost fighting over your photos!" Naruto sighed, instantly embodying an actor. "Ah, as the rising sun of the ninja world, for the sustainable development of the newspaper, and for the expansion of public opinion throughout the world, I can only make a sacrifice and personally take some glamour shots!" Of course, the small sum of 150,000 ryo was also a perfectly legitimate source of income. This led to Operation Codename: "Acting Like a Man" Special Project! Ultimately, a set of 30 breathtaking photo albums was born! The provisional title was: "Acting Like a Man" Inaugural Issue Cover Person — Godly Face, Naruto Uzumaki!
At 11:50 AM, it was "Overtime Meal" time! Naruto Uzumaki enjoyed a "simple, humble, pure" work meal: a super luxurious tonkotsu ramen with three extra servings of chashu, two hot spring eggs, and a mountain of seaweed and bamboo shoots!
At 1:05 PM, the annual "Filial Piety Project" was initiated! Konoha's Sun, Naruto Uzumaki, personally visited the Konoha Central Bookstore with the objective of snatching up copies of the newly released, super best-selling book—Romance of the Five Nations. Naruto mingled among the excited crowd, diligently "queuing up," though in reality, his shadow clone had already secured limited signed editions in the back. The moment he got the book, his shadow clone, Tsuchiumi Dahira, frantically pressed the shutter, capturing close-up shots. Ahem, the book was for Kakashi, adding +1 to his Respecting one's teacher persona. The next Ninja World Daily front page + Acting Like a Man headline read: "Konoha's Genius Humble Beyond Compare! A Top Star in Public, a Thoughtful Student Secretly Snatching His Mentor's Favorite!" This directly spread the glorious image of "Konoha's Sun Naruto Uzumaki, respectful of his teacher and humble," through Acting Like a Man and Ninja World Daily to every corner of the ninja world! Naruto Uzumaki was truly too filial!
At 2:05 PM, during the Konoha Sun's Busy Schedule, Naruto Uzumaki, mid-yawn, once again reviewed his shadow clone's "weekly report":
Land of Grass Construction Progress: New cement in place, all city construction blueprints ready! Infrastructure maniac, let's go! (Intelligence note: "Full throttle!" — The branch is highly motivated, vowing to turn the Land of Grass into a 'concrete paradise'!)Land of Water "Mizukage Struggle" Progress Bar:The Land of Water Observation Journal is going wild: the whole population is clamoring for Zabuza Momochi-sama to return and be the Mizukage! Zabuza-sama stated: "The people's will!" Preparing to shine for the prosperity and strength of the Land of Water! (Intelligence note: "Rebellion mission, soon to be launched!")Hmm? This intelligence is highlighted and bolded? Danzo Shimura once again ambushed our core business—the "Oishi Carefree Pills Flagship Store"! Event Description: That old man dispatched his "Root Brand Thug Squad," under the pretense of "suspected tax evasion + false advertising," and almost threw our excellent store manager, "Oshiyama Kaze," into Konoha's jail! Ultimately forcing the store to temporarily close down! Naruto put down the intelligence, his expression serious: "Oshiyama Kaze! Come here at once! Report to the chairman in detail about that bandaged old man's harassment!"
At 2:10 PM, Oshiyama Kaze, snot and tears flowing, presented his tearful accusation: "Boss! Danzo Shimura is too inhumane! Relying on the 'Hokage's Advisor' title, Root is just his personal thugs! This time, he directly stormed the store, under the guise of 'technology sharing for Konoha,' but in reality, he was openly robbing us of the lifeblood formula of our Carefree Pills! He even threatened to seal our store! Our store was forced to close, wuwuwu!" At this moment, Naruto was also analyzing Danzo Shimura's photos and intelligence. This was an old man around the same age as the Third Hokage, reportedly the Third's classmate. Like Kakashi, he was one-eyed, with the other eye wrapped in bandages. He wondered if what was underneath was a Sharingan of the same model as Kakashi's. He was one-armed, with the other arm also wrapped in bandages. Surely, he couldn't have Sharingan wrapped on his arm too, could he? "Tsk tsk, looking at that face full of scars and missing limbs, he really does look like an old veteran who dedicated himself to Konoha~" Naruto's eyes sharpened: "However, no matter how old his merits, he can't seize the lifeblood of my 'Oishi Carefree Pills'!" "Kaze-san! Enduring humiliation and carrying a heavy burden, you've worked hard as store manager!" "As for this bandaged old grandfather Danzo..." Naruto stroked his chin, a benign smile appearing: "No rush. Let's mess with him a bit, find someone to investigate him! I want to see if this 'Great Loyal Subject of Konoha' is hiding any 'little surprises' privately?"
At 3:30 PM, during the Konoha Sun's Business Radiance Moment, Naruto Uzumaki, shining brightly, visited the Old Godfather Fast Food restaurant to guide their work and signed a sky-high endorsement deal. The endorsement fee was a "negligible" 1 million ryo! As the Ninja World Daily frantically promoted him, the "Konoha Sun" positive persona began to take shape! The effect? Outstanding among outstanding! Walking through the village, there were actually fans screaming "Naruto-sama~!"? Not just little kids and same-age fanboys and fangirls. Even Hana-san changed her tune, praising: "This brat has become a big star~" Huang Bo (a Chinese actor) truly didn't lie: when you become famous, everyone around you is nice. So, what about when you become powerful? The good person masks of those around you will be directly welded to their faces!
At 6:20 PM, after a tiring day, Master Naruto finally embarked on the sunset road home. Upon reaching the hot spring area, Naruto noticed a white-haired pervert crouching by the wall ahead! He was in an extremely professional bending-over posture, "observing human art" through a gap, muttering suspicious "Hehehe~ Sugoi~" surround sound effects. In broad daylight—no, as the sun set—there was actually such a pervert?Naruto Uzumaki, Konoha's arch-nemesis of evil, has arrived! "Hey! What pervert dares to trespass? Take this kick of justice!" Duang——! Naruto's seemingly "bratty tantrum" kick actually contained an itsy-bitsy bit of precise finesse and an itsy-bitsy bit of chakra control! The white-haired man only managed a fleeting glimpse, seeing a blonde brat, then his entire body was precisely guided like a cannonball, landing with a "thud" directly into the women's hot spring! "Ahhh—there's a pervert!!!" "Kill him!!!" The women's bath instantly turned into a battlefield! Splashes and screams flew, fists and towels merged! The scene was, for a moment, extremely harmonious.
