Chapter 19 Rich Woman Early the next morning, everyone set out for the Fire City. The carriage traveled along the official road, and the number of pedestrians and caravans passing by the roadside gradually increased. We didn't encounter any robbers along the way. According to Santaifu, there are the fewest bandits in the Land of Fire in the ninja world. Of course, the fundamental reason for all this is the wealthy conditions of the Fire Nation. The Land of Fire is located in the center of the Ninja World, and has abundant resources and a favorable environment. In addition, most of the caravans traveling from the south to the north will pass through here, so its economy is stronger than other major countries. People's living and economic conditions are not bad, so there are naturally fewer bandits and robbers. The better the public security, the more caravans will pass through the Fire Nation, thus forming a virtuous circle. Therefore, within the territory of the Fire Nation, apart from the occasional bandits roaming around in remote countryside or border areas, there is basically no danger in other places. Even those small scoundrels who can only stir up trouble in remote areas are hard to say whether they are being raised as pigs by Konoha. After all, ninjas also need to complete missions. "We've arrived!"
In front of another hotel, everyone got off the carriage. After moving the luggage out of the carriage, the Santafu paid the fare to the driver. Naruto stood beside the Santafu, looking around curiously. Compared to Konoha, the streets of the Fire Capital seem to be wider, and the buildings on the roadside look newer and more modern. However, it goes without saying that a capital city like this must have a distinction between the old and new cities, and it is impossible for a daimyo to live in an apartment building. "By the way...we're still going to stay in a hotel, right?" Naruto turned his head and looked at the Santaifu who was struggling to carry the luggage into the room and asked. "If you have money, you can stay in a big hotel." Before the third lady could speak, Fenghua Xiaoxue crossed her arms and snorted, "Besides, the hotel is where I live. I will move into a new house in two days, and you are going to live in the staff dormitory!" Naruto was stunned: "Why?" "Um... Naruto, our trip was actually all paid for by Yukie. Yukie used to live in a seaside city, and by chance she was chosen by a director to become an actress, so this time we actually went back to help Yukie move." The third wife laughed and said, "As for you, I will negotiate with the company and arrange a dormitory with a better environment for you. You can stay at my place for the next two days." Naruto blinked: "Is that so..." "By the way..." Fenghua Xiaoxue smiled proudly: "My new house is a single-family house! If you beg me, I can give you a room..." "I beg you!" "Hey!!!" Looking at Naruto's sincere expression, Fenghua Xiaoxue was stunned at the time! "Do you have any backbone at all?!" "No." Naruto bowed sincerely: "Anyway, I appreciate your kindness, Arigato..."
The girl's face turned red with anger: "I haven't agreed yet!" "Ah, is that so? So you were just bluffing..." "Well--" Fenghua Xiaoxue's cheeks were almost puffed up into little buns, her fists were clenched tightly, and she looked at Naruto angrily. "No! I didn't say I disagree! You're such a nuisance!" Fenghua Xiaoxue was so angry that she jumped up and down, then turned around and went into the hotel angrily. "Forehead…" Santaifu smiled awkwardly, "How about you live with me, Naruto? I have a spare room there." "Thank you, no." "..." Hearing the disdain in Naruto's tone, Santaifu looked hurt. Whether it's Princess Snow or Naruto, it's true that I'm really not liked by children... "Come in quickly!" In the lobby of the hotel, Fenghua Xiaoxue frowned and looked at Naruto: "What are you doing standing there like an idiot?" "Oh, here we come." Naruto immediately followed, leaving Santaifu standing there stupidly with the suitcase in his arms. "Aren't you... living in the dormitory?" No one paid any attention to him. Fenghua Xiaoxue had already booked a room for them, one for each. Naruto fell on the tatami as soon as he entered the room. It was really torturous to sit in a carriage for a long time. Even sitting in a car for half a day is exhausting enough, not to mention that a horse-drawn carriage has no shock absorbers and the dirt road can hurt people to death. I had just laid down and felt comfortable for a while when suddenly, the door was pushed open. Naruto raised his head with great effort and saw Fenghua Xiaoxue standing at the door with her hands on her waist, turning her head away awkwardly. "I plan to go shopping and buy some food, that..." "Then... bring me some dinner." "Who cares about you, bastard! If you want to eat, get up!" "Oh, here we come." Naruto slowly got up and followed Fuuka Koyuki out onto the street. Although I don't feel like moving, I still have to eat. Although he could use Wood Release to bring out some fruits and vegetables, unfortunately he is a carnivore.
The two walked side by side on the busy street. The Fire City was brightly lit at night and the restaurants on the street were full of guests. Fenghua Xiaoxue raised her chin and glanced at Naruto proudly. "Are there any taboos?" "Green vegetables." "I'm telling you, this person..." The girl's mouth twitched. "Are dietary taboos and picky eaters not the same thing? Listen carefully, dietary taboos refer to things that may cause adverse reactions if eaten, or things that cannot be eaten due to religious reasons." "Yes, adverse reactions." Naruto nodded, "I won't be happy if I eat greens." "That's not what I'm talking about..." The girl held her forehead and sighed, but she was not angry, or maybe she had gotten used to it. “Have you ever been to an izakaya?” “No, but I want to.” The two looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes. Izakaya is a place that adults would never let their children go to casually. Most of the people who go there are corporate workers, and most of them are men. "I want to try beer, but I don't think the adults will sell it to me..." Fenghua Xiaoxue was a little conflicted. Naruto was not interested in wine, he just wanted to try the grilled chicken skewers. "This is easy to handle." Naruto made hand seals: "Transform!" Bang! The smoke exploded, and a handsome, tall, blond-haired boy who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old appeared in front of the girl. Overall, it is an enlarged version of Naruto. The facial features have not changed much, but the facial lines are more obvious. "Is this okay?" Naruto smiled, a bright and sunny smile. Gazing at that sunny and handsome face, Fenghua Xiaoxue was stunned, and a blush quickly covered her little face. After looking around awkwardly for a few seconds, the girl seemed to have thought of something. She stuffed a wallet into Naruto's hand, lowered her head and muttered softly. "Now that you've become an adult, you should pay the bill, otherwise it will be embarrassing..." “So much money…” Naruto weighed his wallet, which was heavy and full of bills, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably moved... Is this what it feels like to be kept by a rich woman?
