This Naruto Is a Player!

Time flew by like water.

Two months had passed.

During this period, Naruto had gone through five homeroom teachers, earning him a huge wave of experience points.

Although each time it was because Naruto's pranks caused his teachers' willpower to crumble,

Naruto insisted: "I'm innocent too! Every teacher was targeting me!"

Today, a new homeroom teacher was coming.

As soon as the new teacher arrived, his prank experience points would be instantly in his grasp.

With these additional 500 experience points, he'd have the Mangekyo Sharingan tonight.

This Mangekyo Sharingan was proving to be quite difficult to obtain!

For two months, Naruto had tried countless methods but couldn't find a way to independently upgrade his Sharingan.

The skill only had a small note: "This skill can only be upgraded through intense emotional fluctuations."

"Are you kidding me?"

What kind of emotional fluctuations counted as "intense"?

Naruto declared: "I can't do it!"

Internally: He had recently mastered Wood Style and was rapidly cultivating other chakra natures based on permutations and combinations; he was so happy he was practically floating.

However, this still wasn't considered an "intense fluctuation" by the system.

Externally: Naruto was no longer the lonely, discriminated-against child. He had friends.

The subtle, enduring friendship among friends certainly wouldn't count as an intense fluctuation.

Naruto simply couldn't find anything within himself that could generate intense emotional fluctuations.

His talent had met its first formidable opponent.

It was bound by rules.

Therefore, Naruto could only pile on experience points to level up.

These two months, he had aggressively tackled various side quests, just to get the Mangekyo as soon as possible.

Today was the day his dream would come true.

Early in the morning.

As soon as Naruto sat down, Choji came to buy chips and soda from him.

Choji was Naruto's biggest client and a good friend.

However, the two were like brothers who kept clear accounts.

After selling some chips and collecting 'protection money' from Sasuke, Hinata came to buy milk tea.

This girl had surprisingly become much more resolute after fainting that one time.

This change was a good thing.

However, every time this girl came to buy milk tea, she would look at Naruto furtively, her face flushed.

Once or twice, Naruto thought he might have some snot he hadn't wiped off his face.

After it happened more often, he started to suspect: was Hinata perhaps interested in him?

Naruto even considered telling Hinata directly: "Forget about it, we can't happen. I only like girls aged 18-25. You're too young, I have no interest whatsoever."

But.

Naruto was afraid he might be mistaken.

If he said that, it would be incredibly awkward.

Ding-a-ling-ling~

The class bell rang.

Iruka Umino had just pushed the door open when he was drenched by a bucket of water.

Naruto's Transformation + Summoning combination jutsu was simply unstoppable, working every single time.

"Who did that? Who played such a prank?"

"Teacher, it was Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto gave the speaker a deep look.

You brat, it's always you.

"Naruto, you..."

Hearing that name, Iruka was initially quite angry.

Naruto Uzumaki was the troublemaker of first-year, class one, having driven away five homeroom teachers.

However, he suddenly remembered a method an experienced teacher had told him before he came.

'Naruto, well, just deal with him. It's best to keep things stable and not stir up trouble. He's just a kid; as long as you don't actively approach him, he'll naturally drift away from you.'

That teacher was an elite who had taught geniuses like Itachi Uchiha, and Iruka was just a new teacher. That teacher's method should work, right?

Thinking this, Iruka suddenly calmed down, walked to the podium, and began his self-introduction.

"Good morning, let me introduce myself. Starting today..."

Naruto thought he was going to be punished and made to stand in the hallway, but it just ended like that?

Seriously?

"The ignore tactic, huh?" Naruto muttered.

Alright, he accepted it.

Being ignored was at least better than being hated.

Anyway, experience points obtained.

"Choji."

"Hmm?" Choji, who was eating chips, looked at Shikamaru, who called him.

"How long do you think this homeroom teacher will last?"

"Probably a long, long time."

"Hmm?" Shikamaru was utterly unconvinced. The previous five were all driven away, why would this one be different?

"Wanna bet? Let's say... no, three months as the limit," Shikamaru suggested proactively.

Hearing this, Choji readily agreed.

"Alright, the bet is the new Old Godfather Fast Food. I want a family bucket."

Shikamaru didn't know Naruto, but Choji did.

Naruto was a 'live and let live' kind of person; since the teacher wasn't bothering him, Naruto naturally wouldn't act out again.

"Hey, you two, at least show me some respect. I'm still here," Naruto said, looking at them exasperatedly.

The rest of the time was as peaceful as Choji had predicted.

After school.

Choji insisted on dragging Shikamaru to the Old Godfather Fast Food restaurant.

He said he wanted to pre-order a family bucket. Naruto walked with them halfway, then parted ways to go home.

Old Godfather Fast Food—the name clearly indicated it was opened by Naruto.

However, he didn't open it himself.

No one would come to a shop opened by him.

This shop was opened by a clone using Transformation Jutsu to pose as an old man nearby who was nearing his end and living alone. The clone then used that identity to open the shop.

This clone was a Wood Style clone—physical, useful, and difficult to detect.

The products were, naturally, the co-branded "KFC" series from the game.

There was fried chicken, burgers, fries, soda, and the classic family bucket.

These could all be bought in the shop, and the selling price was simply doubled.

After all, the prices in the shop were generally low.

The main branch of "Old Godfather Fast Food" currently had a net profit of around 5,000 liang per day, a rather substantial profit.

If one shop made 150,000 liang in pure profit a month, one hundred shops could earn 15 million liang per month!

This money would be enough to buy all nine Tailed Beasts once over!

Naruto calculated.

That was only one hundred shops; it wouldn't even cover the Land of Fire entirely.

Additionally, Naruto discovered that these clones shared the same inventory as him.

Meaning: items he put in his inventory could be taken out by a clone in another location.

What was that called? Interdimensional teleportation?

With this, he wouldn't fear opening shops across different regions.

The inventory's function wasn't limited to that.

Items inside wouldn't spoil, and one slot could stack up to 9,999 items, making it a dream warehouse.

Moreover, the in-game party chat was also a great business tool; it required no external devices and allowed direct face-to-face communication, ignoring spatial barriers.

With this, even though clones couldn't use the shop, Naruto could place an order in the shop with just a message, and it would appear in his inventory.

At this point, Naruto suddenly realized that this game had so many loopholes to exploit.

Quite interesting.

However, to truly roll out the fast-food model, Naruto needed to first solve the problem of making his clones more realistic.

Otherwise, once they expanded, any attack would only expose his Wood Style.

Naruto was currently exploring how to solve this problem. He had a premonition that the solution seemed to lie within Yang Release.
