Chapter 18 Where did Naruto Uzumaki get so much money?
Naruto Uzumaki watched Hiashi Hyuga leave, speechless.
"And what about you?"
Lin Mo didn't pay attention to Hiashi Hyuga's departure, but instead looked at Naruto Uzumaki and chuckled, "Want to open a can?"
"open!"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Naruto Uzumaki nodded without hesitation: "But I can't drive that many."
Ten jars would cost a million taels of silver, and he didn't have that much money.
However, there are still a few.
"Luckily, I brought my wallet with me this time."
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki took a wallet out of his pants pocket.
The wallet was opened, revealing a bulge of cash, which made Lin Mo's expression turn strange.
Naruto Uzumaki, is he that rich?
"I need to count how much money I have first."
Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself as he started counting the money.
Naruto quickly counted how much money was in his wallet.
A full 130,000!
"130,000 can only open one jar."
Naruto scratched his head, looked up at Lin Mo, and quickly asked, "Shopkeeper, I still have some money at home, enough to open one more jar. Can I open two jars first? I'll give you the money when I get back."
"Of course not."
Hearing Naruto's words, Lin Mo shook his head: "We don't offer credit here, but where did you get so much money?"
As he spoke, Lin Mo changed the subject, looking at Naruto's wallet with a strange expression.
This child drank expired milk and ate expired bread, how could he have so much money?
He could understand if it were someone else, even if it were one or two hundred thousand.
But Naruto Uzumaki shouldn't be this "rich".
"Because nobody sells anything to me."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Naruto Uzumaki lowered his head, somewhat dejected: "If I can't buy anything, I'll just slowly save my money. The only place I can spend my money is at Ichiraku Ramen."
"I see."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Lin Mo immediately understood.
That makes sense.
There is an unwritten rule among the residents of Konoha Village: Naruto Uzumaki's identity must never be mentioned.
The residents of Konoha only knew that Naruto Uzumaki was a demon fox, but they did not know that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
While not being able to mention his identity, they also felt utterly disgusted by him and would not sell anything related to Naruto Uzumaki, nor would they do business with him.
In this way, Naruto Uzumaki found himself in a situation where he had money but couldn't spend it.
Even so, over the years, it has only amounted to one or two hundred thousand, which is about one or two thousand a year.
Is it an average of one thousand per month?
A bowl of Yi Wan Yi Le Ramen starts at 80 yuan.
Lin Mo did a quick mental calculation.
This is within a very average range.
"Then I'll open one first."
The next second, Naruto's face lit up with a smile again, and he asked, "Shopkeeper, can I ask one more time? Can I really learn new ninjutsu by opening this can and then graduate from the Ninja Academy?"
He had previously seen Hiashi Hyuga open a jar, but it only released chakra, not a ball of light from ninjutsu.
He only had ninjutsu scrolls, but he still needed to learn how to use them, which made him somewhat hesitant.
"certainly."
Lin Mo nodded: "However, sometimes when you can't use your ninjutsu, it's not because you don't know how."
At this point, Lin Mo paused, then said, "You're a genius, haven't you ever noticed that your chakra can be out of control?"
"right!"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Naruto's pupils widened suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Shopkeeper, you're right. Sometimes I can't control my chakra at all. I've told Iruka-sensei about it, but he just told me to practice more. Do you know why, shopkeeper?"
His body has been different from that of ordinary people since he was a child, and he has already realized it.
But he never dared to say it.
Even Iruka-sensei wouldn't dare say it.
When he was a child, any scrapes or cuts he got would heal very quickly, which made him very anxious, so he kept it a secret.
The fact that everyone disliked him made him extremely self-conscious, and he dared not tell anyone.
But now, this young shop owner says it outright.
"Shopkeeper, can you tell me?"
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Lin Mo anxiously: "You must know, right?"
"Um."
Lin Mo nodded gently: "Ultimately, it's still because of the Nine-Tailed Fox inside you."
For Lin Mo, there was nothing he couldn't say.
He also believed that Naruto Uzumaki would be able to accept it.
After all, even if Naruto didn't say it himself, he could still find out from Mizuki.
He had only let Naruto Uzumaki know in advance.
"The Nine-Tails inside me?"
Naruto Uzumaki was confused after hearing Lin Mo's words.
"Do you know why the people of Konoha hate you? It's because there's an unwritten rule that binds everyone."
Looking at the bewildered Naruto Uzumaki, Lin Mo slowly said, "That is the rule that you must never mention that you are the Demon Fox."
"what?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Naruto's expression changed drastically: "I'm the Demon Fox?"
"Of course you are not a fox spirit. The fox spirit is just sealed inside your body. You are a vessel, that is, a vessel for a human jinchūriki."
Lin Mo chuckled and said, "In the ninja world, tailed beasts are strategic resources. They are protected by the villages and kept secret, but they are also hated and feared by people."
"Ordinary people don't know about the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki; it's a secret in any ninja village."
"But ordinary people don't know, but ninjas definitely do. The Nine-Tails is sealed inside you. That kind of tailed beast is extremely powerful, so it will affect you without you realizing it. You should have experienced this since you were a child."
Naruto Uzumaki fell silent upon hearing Lin Mo's words.
Oh, I see.
Is that the reason?
He keeps doing stupid things because he doesn't want to be invisible.
But the villagers all treated him like he was invisible.
He asked this question more than once.
But Iruka told him it was because he hadn't been accepted by everyone yet, and he needed to gain their acceptance.
His grandfather, who was three generations old, had also told him that as long as he was recognized by everyone, that was enough.
But now, it turns out the truth has always been like this.
He's been deceived all along.
He did not doubt what the shop owner said.
What this person said instantly cleared up many of the confusions in his mind.
"But, but why seal that demonic fox inside my body?"
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki looked up in confusion and said, "Even if becoming a Jinchūriki is for the sake of the village, and I'll be protected by the village, why didn't you tell me about this? You even kept it from me?"
This is something Naruto Uzumaki cannot understand.
Why seal it inside his body?
If it's for the sake of the village, then he has no objection to the sealing.
But why did you keep this from him?
It is precisely because he is unaware of this truth that he does not understand and is confused about the things he has experienced over the years.
Even when asked, they wouldn't tell him why.
