"Ino!"
"Don't rush, don't rush, that's the black frame world~!"
Ino quickly soothed Tenten, who was sprinting towards them.
Then, the girls suddenly all laughed.
Because what they saw was themselves, the sense of immersion was too strong.
Only Naruto, as the contrasting protagonist, didn't feel such a strong sense of immersion.
["Just kidding~"] Ino immediately showed her adaptability.
["Since they're open, let's sell them~"]
["Anyway, if they just sit here, no one will follow their customization, not even the former Hokage, right?"]
["Big sister~"]
Tenten was originally very angry that these people dared to take out her collectibles without permission.
Even though Ino's words made sense, she was still uncomfortable.
However, after being called 'big sister' a few times by the little ones...
Tenten's breathing slowed down considerably.
She said impatiently, "Alright, alright~!"
["One hundred thousand, take it!"]
["Big sister is the best~"] The three girls exchanged glances and immediately worked together.
Tenten crossed her arms and turned her back.
Then Ino, with Sakura and a somewhat shy Hinata, went forward to act spoiled.
Choji and Shikamaru watched this scene with interest.
Little Naruto silently tagged Tenten as 'likes being a big sister'.
Temari: "..."
Indeed, Temari was also like this.
Especially, she occasionally dreamed of being desperately needed by her two younger brothers.
Then she would always spread her hands, feigning helplessness, but her heart would be blooming with joy.
Temari hadn't expected Tenten to be like this as well.
In fact, at its core, it was a form of 'being needed' feeling.
["Alright then~"]
["I can't do anything with you guys."]
["One hundred thousand Ryo, don't shortchange me, or it'll be hard for me to explain to my mom and dad."]
["Yay~!"]
["Big sister is the best~"]
["Big sister is the prettiest~"]
["Big sister..."]
["Stop!"] Tenten quickly stopped the three of them. If they kept praising her, would she have to give it to them for free?
["Tenten, could you please let me see the Fourth Hokage's photo?"]
Little Naruto looked at Tenten very seriously.
Tenten's smile slowly faded.
Then she narrowed her eyes.
["Why are you so insistent on seeing the Fourth Hokage's photo?"]
["Don't you know that photos of the Fourth Hokage are forbidden from being circulated?"]
["If people found out, even my parents would be in a lot of trouble."]
Tenten helplessly stated the reason directly.
Hearing this, Little Naruto frowned.
['Why do things related to the Fourth Hokage become so difficult?']
['Something's not right... The Old Thing must be trying to hide something, and it's something very, very important. Once it's revealed, it's highly likely to cause significant changes throughout the Village.']
Little Naruto took a deep breath.
Then he met Tenten's gaze, who looked utterly helpless.
["Oh... big sister."]
Ino and the other two girls widened their eyes.
["Oh no!"]
["Naruto-kun has never called us that actively!"]
Tenten was also stunned.
Seeing her lack of reaction, Little Naruto slightly turned his head away.
["Oh... Onee-chan... please..."]
Shikamaru and Choji were instantly petrified.
["This can't be real, can it?"]
["Naruto... Naruto..."]
["Alright then~"]
To the surprise of the little ones, Tenten actually defied the ban and was going to show Little Naruto the Fourth Hokage's photo.
Mei Terumī: "The Third Hokage is truly guilty of a crime."
Fourth Raikage: "That's right, otherwise he wouldn't be the strongest Hokage."
Fourth Raikage: "Pfft... I can't, every time I hear 'strongest Hokage' I want to laugh~!"
Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha~"
Senju Hashirama: "..."
It seems those youngsters in Hidden Cloud Village have become a bit too powerful.
They cannot be allowed to continue this freedom.
Little Naruto smiled again, but his cheeks were still a bit flushed.
Ino's eyes widened. She suddenly felt a little regretful.
Sakura was almost grinding her teeth.
In Hinata's large, white-and-purple eyes, a hint of dark aura flashed again.
She almost had envy, jealousy, and hatred written all over her face.
Shikamaru cleared his throat twice and said, "Thank you."
["Let's pay first."]
This would also serve as a distraction.
So, the five little ones split the cost, each paying twenty thousand Ryo.
Little Naruto didn't have much money and had borrowed from Ino, just enough for twenty thousand, but he still owed for the kunai from before, so he couldn't take out a single Ryo at the moment.
Looking at the hundred thousand Ryo placed before him.
Little Naruto fell silent.
He suddenly realized that as time went on, it was very possible that he wouldn't be able to destroy Konoha later.
Because Konoha also had many people he cared about.
Fortunately, he had kept a record of everyone who had cursed and insulted him over the years.
['Whew--']
['Trying to run before I can walk... Never mind all that for now. I'll worry about it after I get my revenge on the Old Thing!']
['Everything will be decided after I get my revenge on the Old Thing!']
Little Naruto no longer refused and directly took the three-pronged kunai.
It was cool to the touch, felt comfortable in his hand, and had a suitable weight.
Its length and special structure made it perfectly suitable for use as a Ninja Blade.
['This unknown Ninjutsu's formula... it seems like Chakra can be injected into it... No rush, I'll slowly figure it out later.']
He looked up.
Tenten was already walking over with a photo album.
She cautiously glanced around.
Then she ran to push a few shelves, blocking everyone's view, and only then did she bring the photo album.
["To be honest, I don't know what the Fourth Hokage looks like either."]
["Dad said he's in this album, but I'm usually not allowed to open it and look."]
["But he doesn't know, I already know the password~!"]
Saying this, Tenten even opened the seemingly useless small lock in front of the little ones.
Click--
The moment the digital lock opened, all the little kids held their breath.
["Hurry up and open it and see~!"] Ino couldn't help but urge.
Tenten nodded, then slowly opened the photo album.
The next moment.
The expressions of the little ones froze.
The undeniable nervousness on Tenten's face also completely disappeared.
Everyone in the Ninja World was full of question marks.
No wonder it was made so mysterious!
Tenten also gritted her teeth, closing her eyes, her pretty face slightly red.
All the women present were the same.
On the large black-framed screen.
The first page of the photo album that appeared... What is 'surging waves'?!
White and round.
It was talking about bread.
It was too explosive!
Tenten: "Damn it!"
Tenten: "How could my dad... No wonder he never let me open it!"
Tenten: "Is there really a photo of the Fourth Hokage inside?"
Tenten was fuming.
However, the answer she received surprised her a little.
Inoichi Yamanaka: "If it wasn't like this, I really wouldn't dare to say, but the first picture is... *cough cough*, don't worry, there will definitely be a photo of Minato."
Ino Yamanaka: "So, you know a lot, huh?"
