With a creak, the door of the apartment was opened from the outside.

The dim light from the corridor shone into the entrance hall like a blade, and Naruto's shadow was lengthened, casting on the shoe cabinet as ferocious as a monster.

Lower your head to change your shoes and turn on the light.

Naruto stood on the balcony blowing in the wind, and the instant noodles were steaming on the small table behind him. He originally wanted to buy some vegetables, but it was too late and someone kicked him out in disgust.

If there were more people, or if Naruto went earlier, maybe the boss wouldn't have such an unlucky look on his face.

He was not sure if there were ANBU monitoring him now, and whether the words he said during the day would reach the ears of the Third Hokage.

After all, the Jinchuriki is the most powerful weapon in the village. Once the attitude towards the village changes, terrible things are likely to happen.

But Naruto didn't care. He didn't want to take revenge on the village. He didn't even have any dark thoughts in his heart. He just wanted to lie down.

It's cool to lie down, okay? The system is next to you, and Asura is reincarnated. Since the power of the system is greater than the Kyuubi, and may even be greater than any force in this world, why not take a simple path?

In order to gain everyone's recognition, I want to be Hokage no matter what, and protect those who have discriminated against and bullied me, just to gain their recognition.

This is too ridiculous. People live in this world to show their own value, not to gain value from others.

If you are looked at with disgust by others while walking on the street, you will have low self-esteem and sensitivity, and you will feel guilty and lost. This is a pleaser personality, hoping to be recognized and accepted by others.

The current Naruto is no longer the Naruto of the past. He knows that a good old man who is ignorant can only be looked down upon by others. There is no need to gain the approval of others, and he must learn to reconcile with himself.

He was right, Naruto's father and mother were gentle people and protected the entire village.

His birth was not a mistake, it was to prevent the village from being invaded by enemies. In a sense, he is the reincarnation of a god and a descendant of the blood of heroes.

So Naruto compromised and stopped chasing the Hokage. The villagers isolated themselves and stopped looking for mistakes in themselves.

What's wrong is them, those who want to take advantage of Kyuubi but don't want to pay the price. It's called protection, but it's actually PUA.

Hokage is not Naruto's dream, it is the dream of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen. It is the ambition of the senior officials. They hope that Naruto will serve the village like the fourth generation.

The moonlight of the summer night was soft and shrouded Konoha. The night wind blew across the balcony, blowing the hair on Naruto's forehead, and his eyes gradually became clear.

He doesn't want to be Hokage, nor does he want to be recognized by others. He just wants to live happily, become stronger, live wantonly, and enjoy a short lifespan of a hundred years.

He no longer pursues fame and interests, and has made peace with himself.

The instant noodles were a little cold, but Naruto finished them without changing his expression. After washing, he lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

The next day.

At the ninja school, Naruto sat in the back row with a pale face and yawned. The instant noodles he ate last night were expired, and he ran to the toilet eight times in the middle of the night.

No one bothered him today, but when he walked into the classroom, there were still disgusted glances.

On the podium, the teacher Iruka put away the lesson plan, coughed and said.

"Tomorrow is the graduation exam. In the morning there is a review exam for the transformation technique, and in the afternoon there is a review exam for outdoor classes and practical classes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom suddenly became lively. The boys and girls were whispering to each other, some were happy and some were nervous.

"I'm good at the art of transformation. Can you tell me if I can win the art of transformation in tomorrow's graduation exam?"

"I don't know. The test content is to randomly select one of the three body arts as the test content. In terms of probability...hehe, it is about one-third."

"The first place must be Sasuke again. His grades in all subjects are very good."

"It must be that person at the end of the crane! Haha!"

"That's right. He seems to have no brains. He always likes to do some annoying things! I heard that he has been postponed for two years and he probably won't be able to graduate this year."

"It's impossible for a person like that to become a ninja after graduation, right?"

"Everywhere I go, I fail. It is indeed a sad and gloomy life. If I were him, I would rather die. I would definitely have no shame in living in this world.

Iruka on the podium also heard some gossip, and his face didn't look so good. But he couldn't do anything but knocked on the table to quiet the class.

"Everyone, go outside, line up, come one by one!"

While waiting in boring queue, Naruto yawned again. Shikamaru noticed it and asked in confusion.

"Where did you go last night?"

"The instant noodles are expired and I'm hungry." Naruto said.

"I said, you guy, can't you make some food by yourself?" Shikamaru rolled his eyes at him, "At our age, we should be able to make some simple food."

"Don't take for granted what you can do so easily, Hundan!" Naruto bumped into Shikamaru, "At least the owner of the instant noodle shop won't look down on me."

"Everyday grocery shopping is so eye-catching and troublesome, okay?"

Hearing this, Shikamaru was slightly startled. He suddenly realized that Naruto usually received those blank stares. Things that were simple in his eyes might not be so simple when it comes to Naruto.

"Sorry, Naruto."

"You guy... why are you apologizing?" Naruto glanced at Shikamaru noncommittally, and then moved his eyes to the girl with long pink hair who was taking the exam.

Haruno Sakura is much cuter in reality than in the comics. No wonder Naruto likes her so much.

The crunching sound of potato chips was heard. Choji stood behind Shikamaru, his small eyes swept over Shikamaru and Naruto, taking in the scene that just happened.

The blond Ino stood in front of Naruto. When she turned around to look for Sasuke, she happened to see Naruto's gaze sweeping over Haruno Sakura, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve.

"Naruto, what are you looking at?"

Hearing the sound, Naruto turned his head and saw the impudent and gossipy smile on Ino's face.

"Sasuke doesn't like women."

"What?" Ino's face fell instantly. She looked at Naruto with wide eyes, and her heart was instantly hit!

"Damn it! What did you say?"

"Hey! Ino, don't get excited!"

"Let go, Ino! Naruto will die!" Choji didn't even have time to eat the potato chips, so he quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.

"Let me go! I'm going to bite that Hundan to death! Damn it!" The furious Ino was held up by Choci, desperately trying to beat the mean-mouthed Naruto in front of him to death.

Seeing this, Shikamaru hurriedly separated the two. At this moment, Iruka's angry voice came from the classroom.

"People outside, be quiet!"
