Naruto hodgepodge

Naruto rushed into the store and saw Sakura, with a look of panic and embarrassment on her face. He was packing up just now and saw the white guy from yesterday passing by. He was worried about asking him for the manuscript, so he took out yesterday's ninja school textbook from his bag and hurriedly chased after him. Until he saw the guy walk into the bookstore, he remembered that he had transformed yesterday and changed into yesterday's appearance again.

Inside the store, Sakura was carefully putting the items she had just purchased back in order. The sunlight shone through the window onto her busy figure, making her look particularly warm and peaceful. When she looked up and her eyes met Naruto's slightly embarrassed figure, she was stunned, because although the "strange girl" in front of her had an unfamiliar face, her familiar aura and eyes made her feel inexplicably kind and familiar, but the gender difference made her unbelievable for a moment.

"You... who are you?" Sakura's words were filled with surprise and curiosity, and her eyes carefully searched for the answer from Naruto.

Naruto suddenly realized that he had forgotten to cancel the clone technique because he was in such a hurry that he appeared in front of Sakura in the female form of Naruto that she had never seen before. He quickly put his hands together and closed his eyes to cancel the transformation technique. In an instant, after a slight energy fluctuation, the unfamiliar face gradually blurred and finally returned to the familiar blond boy - Uzumaki Naruto.

"It's me, Sakura!" Naruto smiled awkwardly but humorously, with an apology and relief flashing in his eyes.

Seeing this, Sakura was stunned at first, then a playful smile appeared on her lips, and she muttered to herself: "So this boss has such a weird hobby, what a perverted hobby."

In order to ease the atmosphere, Naruto hurried to the bookshelf and carefully put the manuscript in his hand away, while not forgetting to observe Sakura's reaction. Seeing her staring at him, Naruto thought for a moment and took out a beautifully bound book from the backpack he carried when he came to the store before - "Ninja Breaking the Sky". The cover of this new book seemed to shine with dazzling light.

"Sakura, I've never told you that I'm also a writer." Naruto handed the book to Sakura with a smile, his eyes sparkling with pride. "This book is my new work, and I just went to the bookstore to check its sales. Besides, the rent for this shop is all the royalties I earned from writing books!"

The embarrassment was resolved, Sakura took the book, gently flipped through a few pages, and was deeply attracted by the wonderful content. She looked up at Naruto, her eyes full of admiration and surprise: "Boss, you are amazing! I didn't expect that you have such talent besides superb craftsmanship."

Naruto chuckled and scratched his head: "No, no, it's nothing. Don't look at it yet, hurry up and make it. We have a new project to start tomorrow, you better be ready to work hard!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura gently put "Ninja Break Sphere" back into her bag beside her. A gentle smile hung on the corner of her mouth. That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling all the haze in the store. "Yes, boss, let's do a great job."

Afterwards, Xiaoying threw herself into her busy work again. She moved swiftly and orderly, placing each item neatly. Every detail revealed her love and concentration on this job. The setting sun shone through the window, shining on her focused face, giving her a soft golden edge, making her look particularly attractive.

Seeing this, Naruto was not willing to lag behind. He picked up the tools and materials bought by Sakura and began to devote himself to his creation. His eyes were shining with passion and persistence for creation, and every movement seemed so skillful and confident. Whether it was cutting materials or fine grinding, he strived for perfection, as if every work was his interpretation and pursuit of his dream.

Although the two were busy, there was an indescribable tacit understanding and harmony in the air. Occasionally, they would look up at each other and smile, which contained encouragement and support for each other. As time went by, the store gradually became orderly, with a wide variety of goods, exuding their own unique charm. And Naruto and Sakura's works also gradually took shape under their skillful hands, adding a bit of unique charm and style to the store.

The sky gradually darkened, and the street lights lit up one by one, covering the night with a soft glow. After a busy afternoon, Naruto decided not to cook tonight, but chose to enjoy a hearty dinner at the famous barbecue restaurant on the street.

Walking into the barbecue restaurant, an alluring aroma of meat hits the nose. The restaurant is already full of diners and very lively. Naruto and Sakura find a seat by the window. Outside the window is the street with dim lights, while inside the window is a warm and lively atmosphere. The two form a sharp contrast, making people feel very comfortable.

The waiter came over enthusiastically and handed over the menu. Naruto and Sakura didn't hesitate much and ordered a few signature grilled meats and a few side dishes. They wanted juice but found it was out of stock, so Naruto just ordered tea.

While waiting for the food to be served, the two chatted about their daily lives and dreams. Naruto excitedly shared his training situation, as well as his plans and prospects for future new projects, and began to paint a rosy picture for Sakura. Sakura was more like a listener, nodding occasionally, with her eyes full of anticipation and excitement. Just as the two were immersed in each other's sharing, a crisp voice interrupted their conversation: "Hi, Naruto, Sakura, you are here too!" Turning around, it was Ino who had just finished training and was still slightly sweaty on her face. She was standing not far away with a surprised smile.

Naruto and Sakura smiled at each other. They didn't expect that they both knew Ino, and they responded enthusiastically. Ino came over and joined their conversation in a familiar manner. "It seems that I came at the right time. I didn't miss any exciting stories?" She joked.

"Haha, it's no big deal. Naruto is telling us some interesting stories about his training." Sakura introduced with a smile, handing Ino a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Ino smiled and nodded, sitting next to Naruto, and at the same time thanked Sakura for her thoughtful tissue. She wiped the sweat off her face casually, and her natural and straightforward attitude made people feel good.

At this time, Ino's father, Yamanaka Inoichi, noticed the excitement here. He gently said, "Ino, why don't you introduce your friend to us?"

Upon hearing this, Ino immediately turned around and pointed at Naruto and Sakura and introduced them to her father and training partners, "This is Uzumaki Naruto, he helped me avoid being bullied the day before yesterday. This is Haruno Sakura, my best friend." After that, she introduced the two other training partners who came with them to Naruto and Sakura, "This is Nara Shikamaru; Akimichi Chouji, they are both my friends."

Following Ino's introduction, the two sides nodded to each other. "Since we are so destined to meet here, why don't we share a table and eat together!" Ino suggested.

"Good idea!" The five people agreed, and the waiter quickly adjusted their seats. The originally empty table instantly became lively. As for the three adults, Ino-Shika-Chou and Shikaku-Chou-Zoke, they did not sit at the same table with the children because they were drinking.

The barbecue was served one after another, the aroma filled the air, and everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. Naruto's social attribute exploded, telling some interesting stories, sometimes making everyone laugh; Ino, Shikamaru and Choji interrupted from time to time, adding a lot of fun to the table with their unique sense of humor.

The night was as dark as ink, with stars dotted everywhere, and the streets of the town were filled with the unique warm aroma of the barbecue restaurant. Naruto and Sakura walked side by side on the way home, their shadows lengthened by the street lights and intertwined.

"Sakura, I think now that we have a store, you definitely can't handle it alone." Naruto suddenly stopped and said to Sakura seriously.

Sakura frowned slightly, remembering that they had spent a long time cleaning up the store in the afternoon. "Yes, boss, now that we have a store, I really can't handle it alone. I still have to go to the Ninja School in a few months."

"Well, I have a suggestion. Why don't we invite your mother to come to the store to help?" Naruto said hopefully, but he didn't notice the subtle changes on Sakura's face.

Sakura felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She didn't want to be with her mother because she would probably interfere with everything. She said firmly, "Naruto, my mother is very busy."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized. He patted his head and smiled: "Oh, I didn't think it through. You are right, I will think about it again."

"Actually, I think we can hire some employees to help." Sakura suddenly suggested, with a new light in her eyes, "This will not only solve the problem of lack of manpower, but also make the store more formal."

Naruto's eyes lit up: "Good idea! I'll put up a sign tomorrow and recruit a few capable assistants. I have a lot of projects I want to start soon and I can't find the right people!"

Under the moonlight, the two people's backs gradually walked away, but their vision and confidence for the future became stronger and stronger.

The next day, Naruto walked briskly, finished his training mission, and returned to the small shop at the edge of the village, "Baibozhai", with anticipation on his face. A warm and busy atmosphere came over him. Sakura was standing behind the counter, busy recommending the products made by the two to the customers, her eyes flashing with love and concentration for work. Seeing Naruto return, Sakura looked up, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Naruto, you're back! Help pack the products for the customers."

After a while of busy work, Naruto finally sent all the guests away, and then posted a job advertisement, requiring ages between 5 and 12, with a monthly salary of 2 (roughly the value of Japanese yen)

Soon, a little girl named Ayako walked into the grocery store. She was about ten years old, with big, bright eyes and a shy and curious look on her face. Unexpectedly, the boss was much younger than her. Ayako's arrival added some vitality to the store. She was diligent and eager to learn, and soon integrated into the daily life of Baibaozhai. Xiaoying was also able to spare her time to make accessories.

Naruto took advantage of his free time and carefully picked up the manuscript of "The Mirror of Love and Moon" and went to the publishing house. The publishing house is actually the bookstore next door, but it is just another door of the bookstore. Konoha is still at the level of the 90s, not the level of 2000 when the comics started. The owner of the bookstore is already an old acquaintance, and Naruto went straight in to find the owner. When Naruto handed the manuscript of "The Mirror of Love and Moon" to the owner Yamada, time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Yamada took the manuscript and initially just wanted to flip through it casually, but soon, his eyes became extremely focused, even revealing a bit of disbelief, and his nose was bleeding. In particular, the half-naked beauty in the illustration on the front page instantly attracted him. Yamada's expression kept changing as he read deeper, and finally, he looked up at Naruto, his eyes full of shock and excitement: "This... This is simply a masterpiece! Beyond Master Jiraiya, Mr. Naruto, where did you find such a work?"

Naruto felt his face blush, took a deep breath, and explained calmly, "This is my latest creation."

After hearing this, Yamada was full of praise. He immediately decided to publish the book with the highest commission of 20% and promised to promote it with all his strength. This "Feng Yue Bao Jian" will surely become the number one bestseller in the entire ninja world, and Naruto will surely become the number one author of Xiao Liu Bei in the ninja world. Naruto will be greatly honored.

After returning from the publishing house, Naruto was filled with unprecedented confidence and motivation. He realized that the power of illustrations is so huge that it can greatly enhance the appeal and appeal of works. So, an idea quietly sprouted in his mind-why not try to create comics himself?

As night fell and the shop closed, Naruto sat under the dim light, holding a paintbrush and drawing paper in his hands, and began his comic creation journey. At first, his brushstrokes were a little awkward and the lines were not smooth enough, but he did not give up. Instead, he kept practicing, trying, and improving, recalling the various painting techniques of Blue Star. These fragments of memory guided him forward like a lighthouse.

As time went by, Naruto's painting skills gradually improved, and smooth, simple and powerful lines were formed under his pen. He carefully depicted every character, every scene, and every emotion, and the comic "One Piece" was born.
