Hearing this, the children first looked at each other, then asked, "But we don't have any junk!"
"You don't, but your families do! Things like home appliances, wires, light bulbs, pots, and pans can all be exchanged for money."
"Once you have money, you can buy lots of delicious things, and you can eat your fill of three-color dango!"
Naruto's enticing words immediately made the children swallow.
"My family seems to have a lot of pots and pans. It should be fine to take some out to exchange for money, right?" one of the children said with some uncertainty.
With one child taking the lead, the other children, wanting to eat their fill of three-color dango, also started to agree.
"Yes, yes, my family seems to have a lot too!"
"Oh, right, my family recently installed air conditioners, and they installed two. I think taking one apart should be fine…"
Hearing the last child's words, Naruto was somewhat speechless.
"Speaking of… could the two air conditioners this child mentioned be referring to the outdoor units?"
"If that's really the case… if this child disassembles an outdoor air conditioner unit, his butt will probably be in for a world of pain!"
"No… to avoid trouble for myself, it's better to prepare a contract for these children!"
Thinking of this, Naruto smiled at the children and said, "You go home and get them! I'll go prepare a reasonable contract for you too!"
"Yay!"
Just like that, the children happily went home to dismantle their houses.
Naruto looked at the children's retreating figures and thought, "Are these the children of Muggle civilians? Their intelligence is indeed lower one by one!"
That was indeed the case.
In the original work, the children of the civilian class really had lower intelligence one by one.
This so-called civilian class didn't refer to civilian Ninja like Sakura or Lee; rather, it referred to people whose families didn't have a single Ninja and who themselves had no Ninja talent.
These children without Ninja talent generally had lower intelligence than children with Ninja talent.
The children Naruto tricked were generally seven or eight years old.
What were Ninja doing at seven or eight years old? During wartime, Ninja at seven or eight years old would go to the battlefield. In peacetime, they would also study various knowledge, preparing to go to the battlefield.
Naruto returned to Ichiraku Ramen and asked Teuchi for some paper and a pen.
Back at his stall, Naruto began to write the contracts.
Soon, several contracts were finished.
At the same time, the children also returned.
Originally, seven or eight children went home, but now only four returned.
Naruto could imagine that the other three might have been caught by the adults at home, as for their fate…
Naruto smiled and offered a prayer for the children, then looked at the things the four children brought back.
There were many pots and pans, and besides these, there were also radios, chandeliers…
The most impressive thing was that these children were still discussing how to get the refrigerator from their homes.
Naruto took out several contracts and stacks of banknotes.
"As long as you put your handprint on this contract, you can take the money!"
Naruto didn't cheat the children; the prices he offered were fair and reasonable, but they were all purchased at scrap metal prices.
Upon seeing the money, the children pressed their handprints without hesitation.
The children, having received the money, wanted to leave, but Naruto called them back.
"Wait… you see how much I've taken care of you all, can you help me carry these things home?"
The children, having just earned a huge sum, did not refuse Naruto's request.
Soon, all the items purchased today were moved to Naruto's home by Naruto and the children.
"Thank you all!" Naruto said, and the children, gratefully accepting, then left.
That afternoon, angry shouts erupted from four Muggle civilian homes in Konoha Village.
Each of them thought their home had been robbed.
Upon learning the truth, that evening, the wails of children could be heard from these four households.
Originally, the parents of the children wanted to come and settle scores with Naruto, but upon learning that their stupid children had actually put their handprints… they knew that even coming would be useless.
Konoha did not have laws regarding minors; even if they were minors, the handprints and signed agreements were still valid.
It was precisely because of this that the parents of these children's hatred for Naruto deepened.
Naruto naturally didn't know that he had been hated by several Muggle civilians.
Even if he knew, he wouldn't care; anyway, even without this incident, they hadn't shown him any good faces.
At this moment, naruto was in the Sealing Space discussing life with Zephyr!
Although he hadn't finished watching naruto, Zephyr had a certain understanding of this New World.
How to put it? The darkness of this world was no less than that of the World Government.
In the Ninja wars, the most painful ones were not the great Ninja Villages, but the small Villages or civilians struggling within the great Ninja Villages.
"Mr. Zephyr, are you adapting well here?"
"It's alright… if it weren't for those two startled fox and Grey Wolf next to me, I think I would adapt to life here even more!"
Hearing Zephyr's words, Naruto also looked at Kurama and Grey Wolf.
Although this wolf and fox bickered daily, Naruto could see that they had become very good friends, or one could say mischievous friends or close buddies.
He was used to their startled reactions.
Compared to League of Legends, they both preferred to play DNF. Sometimes, playing DNF was like gambling.
If they got a rare item while farming a dungeon, anyone would be startled.
If they got a rare item and then suddenly disconnected, that wouldn't be just startled; it would be an explosion on the spot!
Fortunately, the router network Grey Wolf set up was really stable; they hadn't experienced that kind of despair so far.
"When they're farming dungeons someday, should I give them a disconnected internet package experience?"
As he finished speaking, Naruto looked at the router's location.
Just then, Zephyr's words interrupted Naruto's thoughts.
"Naruto, I've decided! I agree to your request!"
"My dream since I was a child was to be a hero, but I know that my various actions have deviated from the essence of a hero."
"And those Marine I taught, none of them are qualified to be called heroes."
At this point, Zephyr looked at Naruto, "Naruto, you have the resolve to protect others, a Ninja Way of acting on your words, and a spirit of never giving up."
"I really want to see a true hero, a hero who can change the world, appear!"
Naruto was a bit confused.
At this moment, Naruto really wanted to say, "I don't, I'm not, you're overthinking, you're talking about the original Naruto!"
However, Naruto only thought about it. Naruto understood that Zephyr intended to teach him!
Zephyr was someone who had trained several Admirals! With him around, Naruto believed he could definitely become stronger in a short time.
As long as he became stronger, then… the wish to resurrect his parents could also be realized sooner.
