I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 2 002. Bored Naruto

"Hinata Hinata has approved your favorability, and you have received a pair of 'winter gloves' to keep out the cold. The girl who was helped hopes that her friend's hands will no longer be cold."

After hearing this voice, Naruto was slightly stunned.

He touched his pocket and found a pair of gloves inside. The gloves were made of wool and were very thick. After putting on the gloves, Naruto immediately felt that his hands were much warmer.

Is this my golden finger?

Picking up the fish basket on the ground, Naruto was puzzled while studying the golden finger that had just arrived.

He has a golden finger called the Recognition System. As long as the other person's favorability reaches the approval level, he can randomly get an ability from the other person. The higher the favorability, the better the ability he can get.

And this is just the recognition level of favorability. Higher levels also include trust and loyalty until death.

If you reach a higher level of favorability, you can even get the opponent's battle memories, ninjutsu and even blood inheritance limits.

His action of helping Hinata just now undoubtedly gained Hinata's favor, so he got these 'winter gloves to keep out the cold'.

"Asura's chakra plus the Nine-Tails plug-in are not enough, did you send me a new golden finger?"

After the golden finger was turned on, Naruto's expression did not change much, and he even felt a little funny.

The method of turning on the golden finger is obviously very simple. You only need others to approve of your favorability.

But until he met Hinata, no one had ever truly recognized him, whether it was his parents' old subordinates or the Third Hokage who met him every other month.

They have never recognized their existence.

This is really a bad joke.

…

Continue on the snow.

After returning home, Naruto closed the door and blocked out the wind and snow. He sat on the sofa and began to recall today's experience.

I successfully bought food today and caught a big fish as long as an arm in the river. While helping Hinata, I also activated the very useful golden finger.

Next, he only needs to follow the path of the prophecy child, and he can easily become stronger and become the seventh generation Hokage in the village.

Thinking about it this way, everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

But why should I put on a hypocritical mask and become the child of prophecy, to save the world, to please those who are malicious to me, and to gain their approval?

Even without the golden finger, what he has now is enough.

Kyuubi, the physique of the Uzumaki clan is not an advanced plug-in. After being completely digested, he will be at least a super shadow level, enough to thrive in Shippuden.

After thinking about it, Naruto touched his growling stomach, got up and went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Tonight's main dish is naturally the big fish just caught. Since the villagers are unwilling to sell themselves good things, this is already the best source of protein.

After placing the fish in the pot until it was golden on both sides, Naruto poured in boiling water and added some mushrooms and vegetables.

As for the staple food, Naruto chose rice, which was the most convenient.

He was not an indigenous Naruto. As a time traveler, he could not fill his stomach with instant noodles every day, as that would lead to severe malnutrition.

The twelve-year-old Naruto in the original work clearly has the blood of the Uzumaki clan, but he has always been short among his peers.

Half an hour later, Naruto got off the bench, carefully brought the cooked fish soup to the table, clasped his hands together, and prepared to enjoy a delicious dinner.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house. Naruto frowned subconsciously, stood up slowly and went to open the door.

The person outside the door was none other than the Third Hokage, who was wearing a god-like robe and was also Naruto's de facto guardian in the village.

The powerful Third Hokage had no airs in front of Naruto and was as kind as an ordinary old man.

Unlike other villagers, the Third Hokage is still a Hokage, and he also has the weapon of living expenses.

Therefore, facing the 'strongest in history' Hokage, Naruto rarely showed a smile belonging to a child, and said happily: "Grandpa Third Generation, you finally have time to come and see me."

"I haven't seen you for a while, so I didn't take the time to see you."

The Third Hokage said with a smile, then walked into the house and looked at the room where Naruto lived.

This time I came here not only to bring living expenses to Naruto, but also to observe Naruto's mental condition.

After all, in addition to being the posthumous son of Minato and Kushina, Naruto is also the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in the village, one of the important combat forces in the future.

Therefore, for the sake of the Minato couple and the village, Naruto must not have any problems.

After looking away, the Third Hokage smelled the fish soup and said with a smile: "It smells so good. Is Naruto making fish soup? When did he learn this skill?"

"I learned it by thinking about it when I was bored. Grandpa Third Generation, do you want to stay for dinner?"

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

The Third Hokage could not resist the temptation of fish soup and nodded in order to continue observing Naruto.

He sat down and continued to look at Naruto's room.

Naruto's room was cleaned very clean, the bedding was washed very clean, no stains or yellow spots were visible, and the kitchen utensils and daily necessities were neatly placed.

This is already rare and valuable for an orphan with no one to discipline him.

The Third Hokage commented in his heart that he was relatively satisfied so far, but the complaints about Naruto sent by the villagers gave him a headache.

Naruto acted harmless in front of him, but he was a different face in front of the villagers.

Soon, Naruto served the food to the Third Hokage, and the two of them sat at the dining table and started eating dinner.

The Third Hokage picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. The fish was delicious and tender, with a rich mushroom fragrance. He also scooped up the milky white fish soup and squinted his eyes in comfort after taking a sip.

A few minutes later, the Third Hokage was already seven-quarters full. The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that there was no sake in this meal, and he forgot to bring his pipe.

The Third Hokage sincerely sighed: "Naruto, your skills are comparable to those of a chef in an izakaya."

Yes, I'm being polite too, but you actually stayed at the orphan's house... Naruto couldn't complain, but he looked very happy:

"Really? If you like it, eat more! Anyway, no one else will come to my house."

The Third Hokage almost choked. Although Naruto told the truth, it seemed like he was slapping him in the face. However, since Naruto could eat such delicious fish soup, he must have lived a good life.

It's just that this character needs to be corrected.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage said earnestly: "Naruto, the villagers always complain to me, saying that you always play pranks and have affected their lives. This is not good."

Naruto sneered in his heart and said nonchalantly: "Grandpa Hokage, I am just a child without a father and a mother. I will treat them how they treat me. They are not you, Grandpa Hokage."

The Third Hokage fell silent, not knowing how to persuade Naruto.

Naruto noticed the look in the Third Hokage's eyes and said harder: "Besides, they secretly call the demon fox every day, hoping that I will die soon. I can't really commit suicide."

"Demon fox?!"

A dangerous edge flashed in the eyes of the Third Hokage. The identity of Naruto's Jinchuuriki was a secret in the village. How could there be rumors of a demon fox?

Naruto is still so young, what if he goes berserk?

Realizing that Naruto was still around, the Third Hokage suppressed his murderous intent and asked softly: "Naruto, who called you a demon fox?"

Naruto seemed to be frightened, and his tone became much weaker: "Everyone says this, and I'm used to it. Maybe I'm really a demon fox. Otherwise, why would I have no parents when I was born, and everyone bullies me? I want to find out I can’t play with others, and I still have no friends until now.”

Hearing these words, the Third Hokage frowned and promised: "Naruto, don't worry, no one will call you a demon fox again!"

"Then thank you, Third Generation Grandpa." Naruto didn't seem to have much hope.

At this time, the Third Hokage said again: "Naruto, please don't go out during this period. I will ask someone to bring you food and some juvenile books. You stay at home first."

…

After eating and drinking, the Third Hokage left without stopping.

As the leader of the village, the Third Hokage had many important matters to deal with. If Naruto had not been a Jinchuriki, he would not have taken time out of his busy schedule to visit.

Naruto stood by the window, looking at the back of the Third Hokage, and sneered in his heart.

He has read the original work, but he knows that the third generation has the telescope technique and can monitor his life at all times.

He can express his dissatisfaction with the village and the villagers, but he cannot show his dissatisfaction with the Hokage, because from the current point of view, the Hokage has 'never' been sorry to him.

He could trust Hiruzen Sarutobi as his father's master, but he couldn't trust the third generation as Hokage.

Because if you want to become a qualified politician, you must first lose yourself, and the same goes for Naruto.
