The Ultimate Rat In The World of Ninjas!

"Expired milk..."

Naruto plugged in the straw and drank it with a gurgling gulp. Fortunately, the expiration date was not long and the taste did not change. Otherwise, Naruto would probably spit it out.

"Since Rat treasure can even store instant noodles, it means that other foods can also be stored... For example, if I store a bowl of ramen, it will be a hundred bowls in ten days! In this way, the problem of eating and drinking can solve most of my troubles."

"However, it seems that this month's living expenses have been almost spent, so I can't go to the restaurant."

Naruto sighed helplessly.

He felt that if it wasn't for his identity, he could even use the Rat Treasure to make money. For example, if he saved an Explosive tag for a few days and then sold it, he would earn much more than ryō.

"Maybe there would be an opportunity to sell them to Konan? I believe that a woman like her who loves explosive tags should be very interested."

"It's a pity. But It doesn't matter. Let's go to bed today, go out for a stroll tomorrow, and see what things are available~"

...

The next day, Naruto ate some bread casually, saved a piece of bread, and went out. He didn't notice yesterday that there were still a few pieces of unexpired bread in the refrigerator.

On the street, the appearance of Naruto caught the attention of the villagers without any surprise, and then they avoided him from afar as if they were avoiding a plague, and looked at him with distaste from a distance.

Love could last for a long time, but hate sometimes lasted longer than love and was unforgettable.

"Damn fox, why don't you die!"

"Did he kill my father? Mom?"

"Yes, it's all because of him!"

...

"Tch..." Naruto curled his lips, ignoring their existence, rolled his eyes, and looked around the street.

"Stone? This is useless, and it's not a shuriken, but it can also supplement ninja tools."

"Leaves? They can't be eaten... Even if a forest is saved, it seems useless."

"Wood? I don't need to build a house...save it for a look."

"Paper? It's good for lighting a fire, save it."

"Small iron pipe? It's good for beating people, I can keep it."

...

All the way, Naruto turned on the Rat mode, and his first reaction when he saw something was, could it be saved? What was this for? Was it possible to improve his life and so on?

But unfortunately, the street was relatively clean, and there was nothing useful. There were all in a variety of commodity stores, but they would not sell things to Naruto.

Naruto glanced at a fruit shop next to him. He was still thinking about how good it would be to store an apple for ten days or a hundred days when he was hit on the head by a sudden hard object and fell to the ground.

Naruto rubbed his forehead, turned his head to look, and there was a round red apple lying on the ground, one side had been sunken, and there were even traces of Blood on it.

Naruto took his hand off and saw that it was bleeding.

"What are you looking at? Take it and get lost, don't stay in front of my shop and affect my business!"

The one who had just spoken was the owner of the fruit shop.

Naruto was furious inside! Even if he was an adult soul, it was still difficult to calm down in the face of such indiscriminate behaviour.

He took a deep breath and lowered his head, his long bangs covering his dark eyes.

Naruto silently picked up the apple and left slowly.

"store."

Before the system could speak, Naruto directly deposited the apple into the system. Fresh fruit shouldn't be wasted.

...

"Naruto...is it really right to do this?"

Hiruzen looked at the lonely back of Naruto in the crystal ball, took a long puff of the pipe, and exhaled a puff of thick fog.

"What are you still hesitating about now, Hiruzen, this is the best way to test whether the Nine Tails Jinchūriki will go berserk or not!"

Standing in front of the Third Hokage, Danzo said decisively.

"Hiruzen, if my guess is correct, if that kid goes berserk, I will take over him!"

"We don't know if that will happen, why are you in a hurry, don't forget that I am Hokage."

"You'll regret it, Hiruzen!"

Danzo slammed his cane hard, turned, and left.

"Perhaps it's time to meet him, and the academy will start in one year..."

...

After Naruto found that there were not many useful things on the street, he slowly walked out of the center of the village and came to the nearby forest.

When he came over, he picked up a broken fishing rod at the edge of the village, near the so-called 'slum area', but the fishing line and hook were still there. This was a surprise to him.

And for Naruto in his previous life, who had been fishing since he was a child, making a fishing rod was very easy.

Then, when Naruto was looking for a suitable fishing rod, he also found a lot of mushrooms growing on the edge of the forest. After identifying it was not poisonous, he directly deposited it into the system.

To avoid Anbu's sight, Naruto only picks one piece, since it will be doubled after ten days.

Then Naruto finally found a suitable small bamboo, broke it with great strength, removed the bamboo branches and leaves, tied the fishing line, and came to a small river. He did not go deep into the forest, after all, he was only five years old.

Naruto pulled a weed from the river and tied it to a fishing line to use as a buoy. Then he found a place with relatively loose soil on the shore, dug up a few earthworms, tried the water depth, adjusted the buoy, and sat quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait.
