Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 59

Even so, Naruto was still hesitant. The thought of taking Hinata shopping right now was just... a little...

Kushina didn't say anything more. With a smile, she pushed Naruto back to Hinata's side and raised her voice, resuming her enthusiastic and cheerful tone: "Alright, it's settled then! Naruto, you take Hinata out for a walk and let her have some fun. Don't worry about Mom."

She winked at Hinata, "Hinata, could you please take care of Naruto for me too?"

Hinata blushed slightly and quickly said softly, "Auntie, Naruto-kun is so outstanding, I am so grateful for your kindness..."

Naruto wanted to say something, but Kushina pushed him toward the door.

And so, with his mother's repeated urging and gesturing, Naruto had no choice but to lead Hinata out of the house.

The two walked out of the courtyard one after the other, and neither spoke for a long time.

Kushina stood at the door, watching their retreating figures, shaking her head helplessly and laughing as she scolded, "That idiot son of mine, he's so clueless! Sigh... I really don't understand, Minato was so good at charming girls back then!"

in the audience.

Hinata watched the scene on the screen where she and Naruto walked out of the house side by side, feeling both shy and envious.

In the dream, "myself" could walk alongside Naruto so naturally...

Hinata lowered her head, her cheeks burning.

But she couldn't help but look up again at the two people's backs, and a bold idea popped into her mind.

Shouldn't she be a little braver and take the initiative to invite Naruto to go out together?

I can't always lose to my dream self!

As soon as the idea popped into Hinata's head, a resolute glint appeared in her eyes.

"Hmph!" A cold snort suddenly came from not far away, interrupting Hinata's chaotic thoughts.

Sasuke glanced at the screen, his face full of displeasure. His tone was filled with jealousy and disdain as he muttered coldly, "The dream world is such a good training ground, but he's always having these useless dreams!"

Sasuke grew angrier the more he talked.

"Hmph, shopping with a girl?! That Naruto guy... he wasted such a good opportunity!"

Sasuke scoffed coldly, "Naruto! Is this all you can dream about? With your limited abilities, you don't even deserve to dream!"

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]

What a waste!

If it were me, I would never waste such an opportunity.

This kind of dream... is something I should be the one having!

Sasuke's brows furrowed with disdain, clearly even more dissatisfied with Naruto's "mediocrity."

Kushina's words about the Fourth Hokage clearly reached the ears of the audience.

Sakura couldn't resist her gossipy nature and moved closer to Kakashi, whispering, "Kakashi-sensei, was the Fourth Hokage really good at charming girls? He was so handsome, did he have a lot of girls chasing after him back then?"

"Eh?"

Kakashi was taken aback by what he heard, and almost dropped the book in his hand.

He never expected Sakura to ask this question so suddenly, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was his respected mentor. Even though many young girls had admired him in the past, Kakashi felt it inappropriate to discuss his teacher's private affairs in front of his juniors.

He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "This... how would I know..."

Chapter 67 What kind of pipe dream is Naruto having now?

on the screen.

Naruto and Hinata have arrived on the street.

It was the busiest time in Konoha Village, and many temporary stalls had sprung up along the streets. The stall owners were enthusiastically greeting passersby and hawking all sorts of novel products.

"Wow--"

Naruto was stunned by the sight before him as soon as he stepped onto the street.

The once spacious streets are now bustling with people, several times more crowded than usual on quiet mornings.

Some stalls were filled with exotic and exquisite ornaments, while others emitted enticing aromas, selling unique snacks that had never been seen before.

Many of the goods and delicacies were things Naruto had never seen in Konoha before, leaving him dazzled and overwhelmed.

"Naruto-kun, it's because a lot of people from other ninja villages have come." Seeing Naruto's surprised expression, Hinata quickly explained softly, "They brought specialties from their respective villages, which is why there are so many stalls on the streets of Konoha! There are many good things that can only be bought in other ninja villages."

"I see!" Naruto exclaimed in realization.

At that moment, he noticed several exquisite wind chimes with wave patterns hanging on a stall to his left, and he stopped in his tracks: "What is this...?"

Hinata followed his gaze and smiled gently, "Those must be wave chimes, a specialty of the Land of Waves. They're quite rare. Naruto-kun, would you like one? Let's go take a look."

As she spoke, she mustered her courage and gently tugged at Naruto's sleeve, leading him to the stall.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man wearing a headband from Kirigakure. When he saw a customer arrive, he enthusiastically shook the wind chime in front of him.

The wind chimes emitted a series of clear and melodious sounds, like the gentle murmur of flowing water, which was refreshing and delightful.

Naruto listened with rapt attention, exclaiming repeatedly, "It sounds so beautiful! It's like the sound of flowing water right next to my ear!"

"Right?" Hinata was happy for Naruto because she saw that he liked it.

She bent down and carefully selected one after another, choosing a wave-patterned wind chime with pale purple peony flowers. "This... would suit your yard perfectly."

Naruto blinked, not quite understanding what was happening, when the stall owner chuckled and handed him the wind chime: "Young man, you have good taste. This is my last fine wind chime, I'm selling it to you!"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then looked down and realized that Hinata had already paid.

"Hinata, you—" Naruto opened his mouth to say something, but saw Hinata carefully placing the delicate wind chime into her small bag, and said softly, "When we go back, we'll hang it under your eaves..."

Naruto paused for a second, then scratched his head and chuckled, "Okay! Thank you, Hinata."

A warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart; it was the first time he had ever realized that girls could be like this.

Hinata was a little dizzy from Naruto's bright smile and could only wave her hand and say, "N-nothing..."

The two laughed as they left the wind chime stall and continued strolling forward.

Along the way, the aromas emanating from the food stalls in various villages were incredibly tempting.

After walking a few steps, Naruto's eyes lit up as he set his sights on his next target—a barbecue skewer stall in Kumogakure.

"This smells so good!" Naruto swallowed hard, looking excitedly at Hinata. "Should we try some?"

Hinata looked at Naruto's bright eyes, her heart softened, and she smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The stall owner was a cheerful, burly man from the Cloud Recesses, who was turning the skewers of meat on the grill.

"Young guests, would you like to try our famous Thunder Roasted Meat from the Land of Thunder?" he greeted them heartily.

"Okay, okay!" Naruto agreed eagerly.

Before long, two skewers of juicy grilled meat were handed to them.

Naruto picked up a skewer and took a big bite: "Mmm!! Delicious!"

The tender, juicy chunks of meat, mixed with special spices, were so delicious that Naruto felt his taste buds melt with each bite. "This is so good!"

Upon seeing this, the barbecue stall owner burst into laughter: "Isn't it delicious? You young lady have good taste! Your boyfriend can handle spicy food!"

"Cough, cough—" Naruto, who was engrossed in chewing his food, was suddenly choked by the word "boyfriend" and almost swallowed the meat skewer into his trachea.

His face flushed red, and he waved his hands frantically, "No, no! We—"

Hinata, standing to the side, trembled slightly, almost unable to hold onto the skewers in her hands, her ears turning bright red with embarrassment.

"I...we are not..." she tried to explain in a barely audible voice, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing their embarrassed state, the boss laughed even harder: "Hahaha, alright, alright, if it's not true, then it's not true. Forget I said anything!"

Next, they tried many snacks they had never seen before.

Crispy dried cactus from Sunagakure, stone-baked mochi unique to Iwagakure, and even takoyaki made with the secret recipe from Kirigakure...

Naruto was full of praise for everything; he never expected to eat such delicious food in his dream.

Hinata blushed and was a little shy, but she still mustered up her courage and dragged Naruto around to various stalls, letting him try all kinds of delicious food.

Whenever Hinata decides to buy something, she always quietly asks Naruto for his opinion first, and only pays for it after confirming that he is also interested.

Her voice was soft and gentle, and she spoke in a soft, gentle tone, which was like a spring breeze to people.

Naruto never imagined that getting along with girls could be so easy and enjoyable.

He glanced at Hinata beside him; she was carefully wiping the sauce from her lips with a handkerchief, her expression focused and gentle.

This made Naruto's heart skip a beat, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

He quickly shifted his attention, trying not to stare at Hinata's face.

Unconsciously, the image of another girl popped into Naruto's mind.

That's Sakura, who has a completely different style from Hinata.

Every time I'm with Sakura, all I get is yelled at or beaten up...

Thinking of how Sakura used to scold him fiercely, Naruto couldn't help but shudder, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]

He instinctively shrank his neck.

Naruto quickly shook his head, putting those "painful memories" aside, and continued to enjoy this rare moment of leisure with great joy.

auditorium.

Sakura watched the sweet scene of Naruto and Hinata sharing food and chatting happily in the video, and felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.

She crossed her arms and muttered, "Hmph, what kind of pipe dream is Naruto having now..."

Even so, she felt a little uneasy.

Naruto always seems to revolve around her, as if she has never given Naruto the gentle smile that Hinata in his dreams had...
