Chapter 027

"Huh? Are you from the teme clan?".

Kenzo's energetic speech failed to catch the attention of the boy.

Just by hearing that question, it was clear.

Kenzo had to take three breaths to refrain from attacking the blond boy.

All for the sake of missions.

"Yes, we belong to the same clan, but putting that aside, would you like to be my client?". Kenzo extended a membership form towards Naruto.

Naruto looked at the man strangely, with a clear negative expression on his face.

Kenzo, on the other hand, forgot who he was talking to.

The boy with the lowest IQ in this world.

However, he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

"Sasuke is already my client, he has become so strong that you won't be able to catch up to him even in ten years, you're missing out".

Kenzo acted normally as if he was leaving.

And without a doubt...

His words were like a spark that activated Naruto's neurons.

Opening his eyes fiercely, Naruto ran and stood in front of Kenzo.

Extending his hand to prevent him from escaping, he said;

"What you said, is it true?"

For Naruto, the topic of Sasuke is very delicate.

They always compete in the Ninja Academy.

A rivalry that has no parallel.

Or rather, he is the only one who thinks they compete, as Sasuke doesn't even pay attention to him.

But the thing is, Naruto can't remain indifferent when he hears that Sasuke has become much stronger.

Kenzo, with a doctorate in child kidnapping, finally smiled.

"Well, Sasuke traded some things with me to gain that strength, but you can do it too".

Naruto tilted his head in confusion.

"What does trade mean?" He asked hesitantly.

Naturally, he doesn't remember this concept because he sleeps in class or when he's not, he's planning some prank.

"You can sell me something that belongs to you, and with that money, buy items and abilities that make you stronger".

"But I don't have anything, I'm an orphan, my parents died on the day I was born!". Naruto said with slight sadness.

Kenzo couldn't help but feel bad for the brat, but he quickly composed himself and said.

"You can sell me this!". Kenzo said with extreme greed, pointing at Naruto's stomach.

Upon seeing this, Naruto went into extreme alert.

He distanced himself from Kenzo and looked at him with disgust.

"I won't sell you my stomach, how will I eat ramen!". Naruto exclaimed in annoyance.

Upon hearing this, Kenzo's brain entered some kind of reset, he remained motionless, staring at the boy's disgusted face.

Passing his hand over his face and taking a deep breath, Kenzo said, "It's not your stomach, it's the beast you have sealed inside, you are hated by the whole village because of the monster you carry inside, which destroyed the village on the same day you were born!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's eyes couldn't help but widen again.

Discovering that...

This was the reason why he was hated.

He was called a demon because of this.

Naruto remained silent for a few minutes, while Kenzo respected his silence.

Then, Naruto spoke, "Did my parents seal it inside me?" Naruto asked.

Kenzo silently nodded in response to the question.

"I see," Naruto said.

"Going back to the topic, you can sell me the Kyubi, and in return, I will give you something that will make you as powerful as the Fourth Hokage himself, whom you admire!"

Kenzo had to admit internally that the boy was somewhat endearing with his thoughtful gaze.

In addition to that, Kenzo wanted to know what conclusion Naruto wanted to reach, so he patiently waited for his decision.

On the other hand, Kurama was filled with anger and disbelief.

He didn't expect his Jinchuriki to be deceived in such an obvious and ridiculous way.

Anyone in their right mind would refuse this strange man's proposal.

However, it had to be Naruto.

After a few more minutes, he finally said, "My parents sealed it inside me for a reason, and I will respect their decision. Is there anything else I can sell you?"

Naruto's response undoubtedly surprised Kenzo.

He wondered if this was the same Naruto from the original series.

However, he actually was, just with such delicate matters concerning his parents, Naruto thought things through more carefully.

"It surprises me how much you trust your parents. And what if I told you they did it because they hated you?" Kenzo wanted to test Naruto.

"They didn't. Although I don't know who they are, the old man has told me good things about them. There's no way what they did would be harmful to me." Naruto was extremely clear about what he was saying.

Upon hearing this, Kenzo applauded.

"You surprise me, Uzumaki Naruto, son of Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato, the Fourth Hokage of the Leaf."

Upon hearing these words, Naruto's body trembled, not with sadness but with excitement.

Reviewing in his mind everything he had discovered in this short time, Naruto couldn't help but smile.

He finally knew the names of his deceased parents, but the most exciting thing was that his father was none other than the Fourth Hokage whom he admired.

An indescribable joy filled his lonely heart and enveloped him in a kind of warmth.

"Well, my time is limited, cry when I'm gone, since you don't want to get rid of the Kyubi, I can buy its chakra."

Kenzo said, and looking at the child's uncertain gaze, he spoke again.

"You have an enormous unlimited source of chakra in your stomach, I will buy the chakra produced by the Kyubi each week from you, and you won't have to get rid of it."

Upon hearing Kenzo's words, Naruto stopped sobbing and said,

"Will anything bad happen to me?"

Kenzo smiled and caressed the boy's blond hair.

"No, just that you will be hungrier than normal, but that's not a problem since with the points I will give you in exchange for the chakra, you can exchange them for money and afford all your daily needs."

Upon hearing this, Naruto smiled from ear to ear.

"That means..."

"Yes, you can eat all the ramen you want, although I would advise you to try other things besides ramen, otherwise when you graduate from the Academy and become a Genin, the ninjas will make fun of your size."

"Alright then, it's a deal." Naruto said happily.
