Chapter 11
" How do you know you are one?"
" We have the same surname and by how you reacted I am quite sure I am one now."
-------------------------
Acting LV.2 =>3

After watching me for a few seconds he sighed and started explaining.
" As you might have read, Uzumuaki were a clan that had a very close bond with the Village, but after an incident, they completely disappeared, the previous day they were all alive and the next day all of the Uzumaki clan territories were destroyed and the only Uzumaki Still alive after the incident were all scattered around the world."
" Then who are my parents."
" I am sorry, Naruto but that is something I can't tell you, it's not because I don't want to, it's for your safety."
" Then answer me this, why everyone hates me? Why do they keep calling me the Fox kid? What did I ever do to them?"
For a second the eyes of Gramps became something I had never seen, the eyes of a cold-blooded killer, the table started cracking because of the pressure his hands were putting it through.
He was angry, angrier than I had ever seen him, was it something I had said? Or maybe I am taking too many liberties? He is still the Hoakage after all.
But then everything stopped, he returned back to normal and looked at me with warm eyes.
" I am sorry you had to hear those things Naruto, I will be sure to make them stop, but I can't answer your questions, humans are one of the most complicated beings that ever existed, and I can't understand how they act."
"... Then can I get some type of compensation as an Uzumaki?"
" What would you like?" He asked me with a smile.
That smile didn't last so long, I asked for all the things I wanted to experiment on, like Fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu, and also for new equipment, clothing, and a LIVABLE house.
" That... are all doable Naruto, I will be sure to make them all happen as soon as I can, and for your wish to train Fuinjutsu, you first need to learn how to write properly, a single mistake while creating a seal could lead to several deaths, so first read this and train your calligraphy." He said while handing me a book.
With a smile, I took the book and started heading outside, but before I was fully gone I turned towards Gramps and with a smile said:" Thanks."
.
.
.
" Thanks for your purchase." The clerk said while seeing the customer going outside.

' Oh my God it was so simple, I was one jutsu away from getting everything I ever needed.'
I simply needed to change my outer appearance, change a bit my voice by making it deeper, which still sounded somewhat silly since I wasn't used to it but acting as doing its job, and I could go any store and they would let me buy everything at its normal price.
With a smile, I decided to give myself a reward and started heading to my favourite place.
While walking around I keep on the transformation for once in my life not feeling hateful stares and being called mean names was quite relaxing.
While walking I read the status of the new clothes I had just bought, this time instead of the usual orange I decide to go for a red and white jacket and black pants.

After 5 minutes I arrived at my favourite place, where I met the first two people that ever showed kindness, Ramen Ichiraku.
I got inside and got welcomed by a running girl.
She hugged me and then controlled my whole body.
" Oh my God Naruto, when I didn't see you yesterday I thought something might have happened to you, are you all right?"
" I- I can't breathe Ayame," I said while trying to free myself.
" Ayame, let Naruto go, I am sure he had his reasons to not come yesterday."
When she let go of me I turned towards the person that said those words and freed me from certain death.
" It's nice seeing you again Naruto," Teuchi said with a smile.
"It's seeing you too," I said with a big smile
We talked for another few minutes while Teuchi prepared 5 cups of Ramen I had ordered with MY OWN MONEY, feels strange to say those words, I am not used to them.
" Here you go," Ayama said while serving the cups
Just out of curiosity, I used Observe on the fice cups.
-------------------------
Master Level Ramen Cup
A Ramen cup made by an expert and cooked with ingredients of the first choice.
Effect: Heals 500 HP, grants + 20 to all stats for 30 minutes.
-------------------------
'... I want to learn how to cook for some reason.'
After eating the first one I started eating the second but the stats effect didn't add up to each other, what did add was the time, instead of 30 minutes, it became an hour, so after finishing all five bowls I had 2:30 hours of +20 to all stats, and all of this just for 5000 Ryo.
' Yep, I really need to learn how to cook.'
