Sometime after eleven at night, Naruto pulled a still somewhat unsatisfied Hinata away.

It wasn't that Hinata was full, but rather that Uncle Ichiraku had collapsed from exhaustion.

The uncle wasn't young anymore. He had been busy all day and was quite tired. Working overtime for so long, his body really couldn't take it anymore.

Naruto gave up on his previous plan to make money by selling flour to Uncle Ichiraku. There was nothing wrong with what the uncle said, but Naruto always felt something was off. It was better to have less contact.

Hinata still paid for the meal because Naruto had no money.

Naruto had no intention of taking out any of the nearly infinite gold and silver from the shop.

Because Naruto wanted to prove with his own actions that it wasn't just gold diggers who became pretty boys; some people, even if they sat on mountains of gold and silver, were still pretty boys!

Besides, why should I spend money on a rich woman I hooked up with using my own skills?

————

After sending his wife home, Naruto went home, got into bed, and battled the fox spirit.

First round, Naruto won.

Lying on the fox spirit's belly, Naruto laughed heartily. Weren't you so smug last night? Let's see how I thrash you tonight.

"Little brat, don't be too arrogant!"

"Your skills are inferior," Naruto sneered.

"You..." Kurama was speechless. This little brat had actually come up with new words to mock him.

"Again, again, hahaha." Naruto cleared the game board, preparing for the next round.

Thud!

"Sorry, my hand slipped." Kurama picked up the giant cup that had just slipped from his grasp and took a sip.

"Big fox... you..." Before he could finish, Naruto fainted again.

The next day, Naruto was awakened by the sound of firecrackers and shouting.

He looked at his watch; it was already past eight.

After a quick wash-up, he opened a portal. Naruto found a good spot and watched the excitement while munching on an apple.

As he watched, Naruto, who was worrying about how the matter of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki nearly being angered to death by his clone wouldn't make the ninja world headlines, smiled.

Last time, his rabies didn't make the headlines; Uchiha Itachi stole them.

He didn't expect the headlines to be stolen again this time, and by the Hokage no less.

In the crowd, Tsunade was constantly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll definitely pay it back, definitely. Everyone, please disperse."

Unlike the original story, Tsunade returned to Konoha earlier this time.

This caused the creditors who had been chasing her for debts to come up empty.

After much inquiry, a group of creditors discovered that the legendary "fat sheep" had gone to Konoha. After further inquiry, they found out that this fat sheep had even become the Hokage.

But paying back debts is a matter of course, even if you're the Hokage!

A group of creditors directly charged into Konoha. Fearing Tsunade would hide and avoid them, they even created a huge commotion to force her out.

That scene was truly a cacophony of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and a sea of people.

Grandma Tsunade was currently being cornered with no way out, just short of signing a contract to sell herself.

She really had no money. The necklace was valuable, but she couldn't sell that.

In the end, it was Grandpa Jiraiya who bailed Grandma Tsunade out, fronting the money first.

The creditors got their money and left, and the crowd of onlookers also dispersed.

Although the scene was grand and there were many onlookers, as long as Tsunade didn't embezzle Konoha's public funds, it wouldn't affect the villagers' support for her in the slightest.

Her identity as the First Hokage's granddaughter, the merit of establishing Konoha Hospital, plus the title of one of the Sannin – Tsunade was the most popular figure in Konoha.

If there was a popularity ranking in Konoha, Tsunade could arrogantly pat her chest and say, "This old lady is number one, the rest of you can rank yourselves however you like."

By the time Naruto left, he had already thought of the latest ninja world headline.

Shocking – The Fifth Hokage was nearly forced to sell herself just after taking office!

Compared to this headline, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki nearly being angered to death didn't even count as a fart.

Before leaving, Naruto gave Jiraiya a deep look of disdain.

Serves you right for not being able to get Tsunade. As soon as she has a problem, you help solve it. In the end, you're just fated to be a backup.

And lending money to Tsunade, he could even come up with such a foolish move.

Why couldn't you borrow money from her and then not pay it back? Wouldn't she then come looking for you every day?

Arriving at the small grove, Sasuke wasn't there, so Naruto could only practice by himself.

The Olympic rings had already progressed to the third ring, with remarkable results.

He had just run a few laps when he received information transmitted back from an exploding Shadow Clone.

Untying the rope, he ran to the wellhead dug in the middle of the pond. Naruto sat down and began to think with his brain.

This problem was too serious; other organs of the body couldn't handle it.

"Why isn't there any water?"

The Shadow Clone just now had exploded from anger. Digging for so long without finding water was just too infuriating.

"It shouldn't be like this," Naruto scratched his head.

He had his own cheat; he dug much faster than Asura. It had only been two months, and he had already dug over fifty meters, but there was still no water.

Naruto was sure there was an aquifer beneath Konoha.

Back then, Pain, whose art style stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, had hit Mother Earth to a climax with one punch in Konoha. The amount of gushing water was astonishing, nearly turning Konoha into Mizu-no-ha (Water Leaf).

Did I miss the spot?

But he couldn't just change the spot he'd been digging for so long, right? Wouldn't that be digging in vain? What if he dug just a little more and found it?

It was like the gacha games from his previous life: what if the next pull was the one?

He still had to dig, but the method needed to change. Naruto had always dug wells according to the village method: first dowsing for water, then digging bit by bit.

This was the traditional Chinese well-digging method, but now the efficiency was too low. Naruto planned to change it.

Since the Chinese method wasn't working, he'd switch to a foreign one.

Creating a few Shadow Clones, Naruto borrowed some chakra from the big fox and continued to make more Shadow Clones.

"This is revenge!" one of the Shadow Clones said angrily, then jumped into the pit with a fanatical expression.

"I curse you to die in your second life!" another clone said with equal anger, taking out a pile of paper and throwing it into the pit, then also jumping in with a fanatical expression.

One Shadow Clone picked up the Kusanagi Sword and threw it at Naruto's feet. "We grant you permission to commit suicide."

Then it also jumped into the pit with a fanatical expression.

Naruto kicked the sword away.

You're not King Zhaoxiang of Qin, what right do you have to grant me permission to commit suicide.

"Hail Hydra!"

"For art!"

One by one, the Shadow Clones shouted strange slogans and jumped into the pit, their faces full of fanaticism.

Finally, Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He took out a pen and paper and started writing and drawing.

He drew a long rectangle, then a blue bear paw icon, and began to write.

[What's wrong with my Shadow Clones?]

After writing, he took out a torch and burned it.

Naruto really couldn't figure out why his Shadow Clones had become like this. He could only check Baidu. It didn't matter that there was no Baidu here; he'd burn it over.

If Baidu didn't work, Naruto planned to burn it to Qidian next time.

He just didn't know if anyone over there would burn an answer back to him.

Meanwhile, when Kakashi met Jiraiya, Jiraiya was drinking.

Although he had found an excuse for himself – that this was for Konoha's dignity – this sum of money pained him greatly.

"Jiraiya-sama."

"Oh, Kakashi."

"You are...?"

"It's nothing, nothing," Jiraiya said with drunken eyes.

"Did you leave and come back this time for Naruto?" Kakashi asked, leaning against the railing.

"Yes and no. I had some intelligence to deliver. I'll have to go out again soon."

"Oh."

"Kakashi, I'm very relieved to entrust Naruto to you, but there's one more thing I need to remind you of."

"You mean..." Kakashi looked towards a certain building. That organization, he had been there before, it was very dark. Could it be...

"As a senior, let me remind you, don't ask Naruto the words 'Understand now?'."

"Huh???"

"Once you ask, and if Naruto says he understands, something bad will happen!"

"Uh..."

"What's with that expression? Don't tell me you've already asked."

"I think... I did indeed... ask him if he understood."

"What did you say?" Jiraiya swirled his wine cup.

"'You need to concentrate the power, understand now?'" Kakashi recalled.

"What was Naruto doing at the time?" Jiraiya's hand trembled slightly.

"He was blasting a gate."

Crash!

The wine cup fell to the ground and shattered.

BOOM!

A loud explosion resounded throughout Konoha, followed by a pillar of water shooting into the sky.

Naruto, beneath the water pillar, endured immense pain and laughed heartily.

The Russian style is indeed faster than the Chinese style.

The Russian method of creating lakes using nuclear bombs, as used by the Russkies, gave Naruto great inspiration. If nuclear bombs can create lakes, can they dig wells?

And fearing insufficient yield... no, insufficient number of Shadow Clones, he even borrowed Kurama's chakra.

Sure enough, this move had a miraculous effect. Water gushed out as soon as he dug. Not only did water gush out, but the fishpond also expanded several times over.
