"Now everything is truly alive."
With a whisper, Naruto stepped back, leaving a Shadow Clone in his place as usual.
....…
In the afternoon
The appointed time had arrived. The friends invited by Naruto, along with Kakashi, Sasuke, and Gai, arrived at the hot springs hotel.
"Although it's not my first time here, the grandeur and luxury are still astonishing."
Standing in front of the luxurious hot springs hotel, located at a certain distance in Konoha Village, Gai sighed.
Sasuke took it for granted, "Of course, this is now owned by me and Naruto!"
Some of Naruto's friends had been here before, but they had no idea that such an ultra-luxurious hotel was actually owned by two of their classmates.
They couldn't help but look at Naruto and Sasuke in surprise.
Naruto ignored Sasuke's arrogance and need for attention and greeted Ino, who hadn't lost her habit of giving him a warm hug.
Naruto welcomed the hug while stroking her hair.
"Indeed, Sasuke invested in this hot springs hotel. It is a planned industry operated by me. It focuses on ultra-high-level consumption. It adopts a reservation system to provide guests with the most welcoming service. Ino, your father is also a shareholder, after all, it is a good place to look for spies from other countries."
"Therefore, the escort tasks and daily operations here are the responsibility of the Yamanaka clan."
Do not underestimate the Yamanaka clan just because they can read minds. They also have a terrifying battle style, which complements their main technique very well.
Furthermore, the Yamanaka clan is known for its high reproduction rate, being the second largest clan in all of Konoha, after the Hyuga clan, which currently leads after the Uchiha clan massacre.
"Does that mean this business is ours?" Ino whispered silently, her face blushing like a ripe apple.
With countless fantasies of her and Naruto being married and living together.
However, it's not good to delve too deep into the fantasies of a 9-year-old girl, especially Ino, who knows what she's thinking.
On the other hand...
Seeing Naruto and Ino's closeness, Hinata couldn't help but clench her fists.
She didn't know why her father ordered her to stay away from Naruto, but it infuriated her to the maximum.
If it weren't for her plan, Hinata would have long ceased to be part of the Hyuga clan.
It must be said that in these years, Naruto had stirred Hinata's mind.
The girl went from being someone who didn't dare to question her father's decisions, to wanting to fully control the Hyuga clan and abolish the nonsense of the branch family.
Hinata, at this point, no longer hesitated. At her age, she was as powerful as an elite Chūnin, and she believed that in a few years, she could claim leadership by defeating her father and sanctioning the elders of the clan.
For this reason, she had to maintain obedience towards her father and avoid angering him.
If there was one thing Naruto taught her, it was to prioritize her goals before thinking about love.
Returning to the boys.
They all entered the hot springs without further delay.
A guard from the Yamanaka clan stopped Kiba and reprimanded him for bringing dogs into the premises.
"You're mocking me! You don't understand the concept of the Inuzuka clan. Our dogs are like family to us, and we have a special permit from the Hokage. It has been this way for generations."
Kiba couldn't help but react in a negative way. After all, who didn't know that members of the Inuzuka clan took offense when asked to leave their dogs outside?
Naruto couldn't help but show an ironic smile.
Kiba was too irritable.
"Friend, this rule doesn't apply to members of the Inuzuka clan. It's common sense."
"Is this your first time working here?" Naruto asked.
"Yes! It's my first job!" The guard from the Yamanaka clan responded respectfully.
"You really have guts to deny entry to the heir of the Inuzuka clan. I congratulate you for that, just keep in mind this detail if there's a next time."
Everyone continued on their way while Kiba looked arrogantly at the guard.
"Hmph... what a fool!"
...
As soon as they entered, there were a total of twenty beautiful maidens forming a welcome line on both sides of the lobby, bowing their bodies to welcome the group of people.
"Welcome."
Then, someone led Naruto and the others to the prepared private room.
According to the process, they would first soak in the hot springs, wait until the bath was comfortable, relieve fatigue, and then have a hearty meal.
A group of friends had been here before, so they naturally knew the process.
After washing up, everyone comfortably immersed themselves in the spacious hot spring pool.
The men were in the men's section, and the women were naturally in the women's section.
Naruto, who was in the hot springs, only wanted to chat with his friends, but his face suddenly changed.
Dispersed in the perception of the surrounding space for tens of miles, a person with immense chakra was approaching this hot spring hotel at high speed.
Focusing slightly on his perception, and with the help of Kagura's mind, who had successfully practiced this for a while, Naruto saw a figure with white hair and the word "Oil" on his ninja headband.
"This bastard!
