3 My New Life
After I received the key that Sarutobi gave me I immediately rushed to my apartment to see what the conditions were like there
"Haaaaaahhhh....., this is why I don't like the third Hokage," I said when I saw the whole room in my apartment that could be seen was very rundown and unfit for habitation.
"It's okay if he keeps my father a secret, but don't take away my father's wealth, give a little to his son, cook he wants to corrupt everything" I said annoyed while cleaning all the dust and bat nests inside
3 hours later....
"Hah.. hah.. hah.. I'm finally done cleaning it up" I said exhausted after cleaning all the rooms of my new apartment
When I wanted to rest for a while, suddenly my stomach rumbled which indicated I was very hungry right now, because since morning I haven't eaten a bite of rice,
I then reached into my pocket and found a coin that said 500ryo
"Is this my treasure, haaaaaahhh" I said with a sigh of resignation
"Calm down.. calm down.. calm," I said to myself trying to stay calm
"Hmmmtt, I'd rather go to the river to look for fish, than I starve to death" I then rushed out of my apartment and didn't forget to lock the door
I then activated Tatsuya's power of elemental sight so that I could detect everyone in the village so that when I passed them I could immediately find out and find another route so I wouldn't get hit by the crowd once again.
(Elemental sight is a visual ability that can be said to be a combination of Byakugan and Sharingan, why can I say that, because Elemental sight can be used to detect and scan all locations that are far away just like the Byakugan and why can I say like the Sharingan because elemental sight can clearly see the enemy's movements and detect what the enemy will do, But the most impressive of the Elemental sight abilities, this ability is like the highest level of Kenbunshoku Haki which can predict the future even if only for about 3 seconds)
After I finished scanning the location I was going to, I then deactivated my ability
'Safe' I thought running quickly towards the river
"Phew, is this what Naruto feels every day" I said standing exhausted by the river, after I felt that my breath was back to normal I then entered the river which I saw the depth would not make me drown, after that I then put my hand into the water so I could catch fish who live there
After feeling enough with my catch I then got out of the river after that I looked for some dry twigs and leaves so I could light a fire and grill the fish I caught earlier
While waiting for my catch to be cooked I then lay down for a while and thought of a plan that I should do in my current life as Naruto Uzumaki,
Then spontaneously I then look for things that are always together every day like clothes that stick to my body, but when I realize I then feel sad because the things that are always with me now don't exist in this world
"Haaaahhh, I miss my laptop and smartphone, why didn't I bring them here before" I said sadly remembering my two basic needs that I always use in my real life
When I saw that the fish I caught was cooked I then took it but suddenly two little boys came out of the bushes not far from where I was grilling fish, they then came over to me, I knew who they were from the characteristics they had, one of the little boys had a lazy look that formed on his face and he also had pineapple-shaped hair then the other boy had a chubby body and always carried potato chips everywhere, well they were both Shikamaru and Choji
'Hmmmttt, what are they doing here' I thought seeing them approaching me
"Yo blonde, what are you doing here?" Shikamura asked me
"Haaaahhhh.... Can't you see, I'm grilling fish" I replied with a lazy sigh
"Fish, I like to eat, can I have a little or not?" asked Choji who had saliva in his mouth
"Please, I also can't possibly finish it alone" I replied honestly because I couldn't possibly eat the 20 fish I caught earlier
"Thank you.." Choji said then took the fish I grilled and ate it very voraciously
I just smiled seeing how well Choji ate, then suddenly Shikamaru reached out his hand and said
"My name is Shikamaru Nara and the person who ate this is Choji Akimichi who are you"
"Naruto Uzumaki" I replied shaking Shikamaru's hand and introduced my name to him
"Naruto.. hmm hmmm, do you like playing Shogi?" Shikamaru asked curiously at me
"No.. I don't know how to play shogi but I can play the same game as Shogi"
Shikamaru who heard my words became very curious
"A game like Shogi, what game is Naruto" asked Shikamaru
Choji who overheard our conversation just kept quiet and didn't care about the game we were talking about because all he thought about was the food in front of him
"Chess" I replied curtly which made Shikamaru even more curious
"Chess??? ,, what is Naruto" he asked again4
I didn't answer Shikamaru's question but I drew a grid of squares on the ground and gave him a small square of 64 inside
"Chess looks like that, this game is like Shogi which uses strategy in how to play it, in small boxes it consists of various kinds of pieces that are the same as shogi pieces but have different shapes"
"Different shape" said Shikamaru confused
"What does Naruto look like?" Shikamaru asked again
I then cut the branches of a wooden tree then I carved them into a chess shape, namely 8 pawns 2 Elephants 2 rooks 2 Horses 1 minister and 1 king15
"Make it like this, so I can tell you how to play"I said to Shikamaru
Hearing my words Shikamaru just obeyed and started making pieces like the shape I made
After finishing making the pieces, it was time for me to show Shikamaru how to play the game of Chess, I arranged the chess pieces according to their place then I taught him how to move the chess pieces from Pawn to King, and I also taught him how to check and close the movement of the pieces. the king so that the king can't move
30 minutes later after I explained how to play chess
"Interesting" he muttered understanding my explanation
"Let's start fighting Naruto, I want to try it" he said again excitedly
"Okay, I haven't played like this in a long time" I answered honestly which made Choji and Shikamaru surprised
"Ehhhhh,, long...?? aren't you the same age as us Naruto" said Choji confused by my words
"Hahaha, yeah, usually I just play alone and when you guys come to my place, I feel like it's been a long time since I played like now" I said honestly because since childhood Naruto has been living alone
"Alone, then don't you have Naruto's family?" asked Choji with a sad face
"No, I have been living in an orphanage since birth and all my friends who were there avoided me that's why I used to play alone, and chess is a game that I made when I was alone and had no opponents to play with" I said honestly telling Naruto's life that I have now taken her body
"Don't worry, I will be your friend Naruto, right Shikamaru" Choji replied with tears in his eyes because he felt sorry for my life
"Troublesome, but okay I will be friends with you from now on, because you seem as smart as me" Shikamaru said honestly but his last words made me sweatdrop
"Thank you" I replied with tears in my eyes at the invitation of the two of them to be friends
Then then I had a chess match with Shikamaru, at first Shikamaru had a hard time because it was his first time playing this game, but after playing 18 times Shikamaru finally managed to beat me
"Hahaha how Naruto, you finally lost to me" laughed Shikamaru happy with his victory
'It's no doubt from someone who has an IQ of 200' I thought amazed at Shikamaru's intelligence
I didn't expect that I would lose to Shikamaru, because in real life I'm a chess master who has defeated hundreds of opponents in online chess games4
"Prok prok prok, amazing, you have beaten me Shikamaru" I said praising honestly which made Shikamaru smile happily
"Hahaha, let's start again Naruto, this game is very exciting" he said inviting me to compete again,
"Okay, but I'm going to pee" I said leaving Shikamaru and Chji and then went to a big tree to hide so they wouldn't see it.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh,, this is a relief, I've been holding it in for a while"
Then when I wanted to go back to Shikamaru's place, I was surprised by a woman hiding behind a large rock not far from where I peed.
"Hinata..."
