Konoha: Starting by giving Hinata the Tenseigan!

"What condition! Just say it. There's nothing I, Naruto, can't do!"

Naruto raised his head high and shouted.

"The condition...well, here, just shout out these advertising slogans."

Natsuki handed Naruto a small card.

"T-That's it? That simple?"

Naruto looked at the contents of the card and asked doubtfully.

Natsuki raised a finger and wagged it: "It's not that simple. You have to keep shouting until a large crowd gathers."

Naruto glanced at the Ultraman figure again. 

It was indeed his favorite type.

He raised his right fist, pointing his thumb at himself: "Hah, that's too easy! Watch this."

The next moment!

"Ultraman on Sale! Ultraman Super Sale!"

"Want to transform into Ultraman? Want to know about Ultraman's past? Get an Ultraman, and be favored by the Giant of Light!"

Naruto's loud voice boomed out, instantly attracting countless gazes.

But when people saw that it was the demon fox brat, they hesitated and didn't dare approach.

"Very good, excellent."

Natsuki gave Naruto a thumbs-up, praising him generously.

As expected, is this courage training he spoke of?

It seems I still have a long way to go.

No! I can't be outdone. I want Natsuki's praise too. He hasn't praised me yet today."

Watching Naruto's enthusiastic efforts, countless thoughts flashed through Ino's mind.

This was a training of sorts, and she too could do it!

Hoo~~

She took a deep breath.

"Ultraman on Sale! Ultraman Super Sale!"

"Want to transform into Ultraman? Want to know about Ultraman's past? Get an Ultraman, and be favored by the Giant of Light!"

Her clear, childish voice was even more penetrating.

She and Naruto shouted on either side of the stall.

Some people initially ignored Naruto because he was the demon fox child.

But with the little girl joining in, people started paying attention to the meaning and authenticity of their words.

The allure of "Ultraman" was simply too great, especially after Choji's transformation.

If they could become Ultraman, they could beat up the demon fox if it appeared again, right?

Moreover, some sharp-eyed children immediately spotted the impressive Ultraman figures on the stall.

Most importantly, the stall owner wasn't the dusty demon fox child, but a cute, cleanly dressed little boy.

"Mommy, I want Ultraman."

"Dad, I want to become an Ultraman. Then I can help you carry wood."

"Is that your ambitious? Is carrying wood all your old dad is good for in your eyes? Hey, little boss, give me two."

Suddenly, a crowd gathered.

Now it was Natsuki's turn, the stall owner, to handle the situation.

These toys were indeed well-made, even more realistic and appealing than the Giant of Light Choji transformed into.

There were even some transformation devices, although their designs were slightly different.

"Interesting, there's even an Ultraman comic. Is the main character that chubby kid?"

"This is amazing, little boss, give me one too."

"Where are your parents? How can they let little kids like you run around? It's a good thing this is Konoha. You'd be kidnapped right away in other places."

"So impressive, understanding the hardships of life at such a young age, using your skills to help support your family."

"Ah? You're out here for training, not to support your family? Then why are you selling them for 3000 Ryo, so expensive? Can you give me a discount?"

3000 Ryo in the Naruto world wasn't as much as one might think, considering a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen cost nearly 100 Ryo.

As expected, no matter where they were, uncles and aunties were all the same, always striking up conversations with the owner when buying things.

In an instant, the small stall became bustling with activity.

Some people, seeing how cute Natsuki was, even tried to introduce him to potential girlfriends.

In the end, little Ino scolded them away. 

She was a member of the Yamanaka Clan, and her father, Yamanaka Inoichi, was a renowned figure. Anyone who annoyed her risked being captured and interrogated on suspicion of being a spy.

It didn't take long for all the items to sell out.

"Done! A huge success. You guys must be tired, let's go replenish our energy."

Natsuki patted his bulging pouch.

"Mhm, Big Brother Natsuki is so amazing."

Ino clapped her hands.

"Ehehehehe..."

Naruto, with his cheek pressed against the Ultraman figure, grinned like a fool.

This was something he had earned through his own hard work, making it especially precious.

He only shouted a few times at the beginning though, the crowd came in droves, after Ino joined in.

Later, Natsuki handled everything himself.

But for the first time, Naruto saw people who weren't afraid of him, who didn't curse him.

This feeling alone was wonderful.

Although he was completely ignored throughout the process, he was already content. This proved he was one step closer to being accepted.

It turned out he didn't need to cause mischief to gain attention.

"Hey, let's go. What are you still standing there for?"

"Ah? Me? Where are we going? Aren't you afraid of me?"

"What, are you going to eat us? Why would we be afraid of you? Don't ask so many questions. I'm taking you to eat something delicious."

Natsuki led the way.

Ino followed closely behind.

Naruto hesitated for a moment, looking at the two, then suddenly jumped up: "Alright!!!"

In a corner, two ninjas disguised as ordinary passersby watched the trio walk away.

"The demon brat actually made friends? Is it really okay to let him be led away like this?"

"They're not really friends. That clever kid with the eye patch is just using him as free labor."

"Besides, the two kids leading the way are from the Yuhi and Yamanaka Clans, they're our own people. We just need to keep an eye on the demon brat and make sure he doesn't get abducted by strangers."

"You're right. Let's follow them. By the way, you bought several Ultraman figures just now."

"Heh, I have quite a lot of kids at home..."
