Chapter 218 Naruto, you should think more about your own problems

After spending a few days together, Naruto and Black Zetsu became good friends who could talk about anything.

This was also within Black Zetsu's expectations. When dealing with an orphan who lives alone, as long as he shows a little kindness, the other party will take the initiative to trust him.

All this is thanks to the Konoha high-level officials. Without them, it would not be so easy to contact the reincarnation of Ashura.

Every reincarnation of Asura is born with an optimistic attitude and strong affinity.

No matter how gifted Indra's reincarnation is, he will eventually be defeated by the power of his "companions". This was the reason why Indra was defeated by Ashura in the beginning, and it was also because of Otsutsuki Hagoromo's favoritism.

The unfilial son Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo betrayed his mother and chose to live with humans.

He also intervened in the competition between Asura and Indra many times, causing his plans to fail one after another. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable.

However, things are starting to turn around.

This time he did not rely on the reincarnation of Indra, but found more like-minded subordinates to carry out the Moon Eye Plan together, and even brought in the reincarnation of Asura.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu looked at Naruto who was already sleeping, and a subtle curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After a dreamless night, Naruto opened his sleepy eyes, whispered good morning to the kunai pendant a few times, then tiptoed to make breakfast.

It was called breakfast, but in fact it was just a bowl of instant noodles.

Naruto, who lives alone and has never learned how to cook, can only fill his stomach with instant noodles three times a day, and occasionally go out to catch fish to improve his life.

This is because Naruto got up early today. Normally, Naruto doesn’t even eat breakfast.

Seeing this scene, Black Zetsu frowned. No wonder Naruto was shorter than other people of the same age. It turned out that it was because he didn't eat well.

If this continues for a long time, will malnutrition lead to a decrease in combat effectiveness?

This won't work, it will affect the Moon Eye Project and even the operation to save my mother.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu said to Naruto: "Naruto, you only eat this every day? This is not good for your health. You will definitely be thinner than others in the future."

Naruto chuckled, "Besides this, I can't cook any other dishes. Instant noodles are delicious and very convenient to make. If you didn't live in a pendant, you would probably like instant noodles too."

Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment. He wanted to refute Naruto, but didn't know how to start.

As the last offspring of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he is fundamentally different from his two brothers. His two brothers inherited most of their mother's power, which is enough to destroy the world.

At best, he is just a product created by his mother using the bloodline network, a creation more special than White Zetsu.

Due to his special body structure, he can meet his life needs through photosynthesis, and his knowledge of food is limited to the Ashuras and Byakuya of past generations.

He really didn't know what instant noodles tasted like, but other people's children were not as perfunctory as Naruto.

Keeping silent, watching Naruto finish his instant noodles and go to the bathroom, Black Zetsu took advantage of the distraction of the Anbu outside the house and took the opportunity to drink some noodle soup, and his eyes suddenly brightened.

These instant noodles are really delicious, no wonder Naruto eats instant noodles every day.

For the past thousand years, I have been busy working to release my mother's seal and have forgotten to take a look at the prosperous ninja world. I don't know if my mother who was sealed on the moon would like this.

After Naruto went to the bathroom, Black Zetsu repossessed Naruto and whispered something in his ear. Naruto grabbed the kunai pendant on the table, put it around his neck, and walked out of the house.

Naruto actually didn't want to go out, as the outside world was full of malice towards him, but at Black Zetsu's strong request, he still stepped out of the house.

Walking alone on the street, pedestrians looked at Naruto with cold eyes from time to time, making Naruto very nervous.

But Black Zetsu who possessed Naruto was very excited. He looked at the lively crowd and the dazzling array of goods, and memorized their appearance in his heart.

After picking out a wooden comb, Black Zetsu whispered in Naruto's ear: "Naruto, I'm very interested in that comb over there. Go ask about its price."

Naruto looked over following Black Zetsu's guidance and said hesitantly, "Grandpa Black, my living expenses are very low, and the boss may not sell it to me."

"Just give it a try and you'll know. Don't dilly-dally!"

Black Zetsu couldn't stand Naruto's hesitation and urged him anxiously.

After hearing what Black Zetsu said, Naruto could only bite the bullet and go forward to ask the price. After seeing that the customer was Naruto, the stall owner looked a little colder and said indifferently: "Little boy, you are not going to steal anything, are you?"

"I didn't..." Naruto shook his head, then said, "I came here to buy something."

"Buying something? You like this comb?" The stall owner glanced at Naruto and said in a cold tone, "This comb is very cheap. Only one thousand taels is enough. Can you afford it?"

"One thousand taels?!" Naruto was stunned, shocked by the price of the comb.

His monthly living expenses are only 50,000 taels (approximately 50,000 yen), and a comb costs 1,000 taels. Is the boss deliberately cheating him?
After hearing the price mentioned by the stall owner, Black Zetsu also frowned.

Although he didn't know the prices in the ninja world, from Naruto's expression, he could tell that Naruto had been ripped off.

This made Black Zetsu very unhappy. Someone actually dared to bully the subordinates he had trained!

After leaving the street dejectedly, Naruto came to a nearby park where several children of similar age were playing house-like ninja games.

When they saw Naruto coming over, they immediately stopped playing and stared at him, as if saying, you monster, get out of our park.

Being stared at by a group of children, Naruto had no choice but to leave again, and walked around until he came to the river.

This was the only place where there were no other adults or children, and it belonged entirely to him.

Sitting on a big rock on the shore, Naruto scratched the soil on the ground with a stick, muttering: "Why is it different from what Grandpa Hokage said? Why do they always bully me?"

Seeing Naruto looking like a punching bag, Black Zetsu wanted Naruto to fight back several times.

The ninjas he had come into contact with in the past, whether it was the reincarnation of Ashura or Bai Ye, all had ten thousand ways to bully others and were simply impossible to be bullied by others.

Even the kindest Obito would get angry when his core interests were touched.

But it is different for Naruto, the reincarnation of Ashura. This is simply an insult to the Otsutsuki bloodline. The Otsutsuki are naturally arrogant people.

After calming down, Black Zetsu remembered Bai Ye's instructions and said to Naruto: "It takes two to tango. Naruto should think more about his own problems."
