Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

Page 50

He already has a huge balance of 150,000 in his account, so he doesn't care about a mere 10,000 points.

Let's move on to option 2, the Dream Dungeon Expansion Pack "Cooking Master Boy".

Shigure touched his chin, and the exaggerated scene of "glowing cuisine" in the anime involuntarily came to mind.

To be honest, this thing is actually quite interesting.

If you get your hands on it and play around with it, you might even unlock a few recipes along the way, making Ichiraku Ramen shine in the ninja world too?

He smiled, then decisively shifted his gaze to option 1.

"Number of viewers +1".

This upgrade is still the most practical.

After all, the more viewers there are, the more emotional value can be collected.

This is the improvement that Shigure needs most right now.

With this in mind, Shiyu made her choice without further hesitation.

[Current Dream Fulfillment Level: 3 (205231/300000)]

[Target number of participants: 2]

Number of viewers: 4

[Dreamscape Dungeon Cap: 1]

[Current Dream Instance: The Undying Light]

The system's cold notification sounds rang out one by one, indicating that the panel data had been updated.

Shi Yu nodded in satisfaction: Level 3 access has unlocked new features, allowing her to invite more people to watch the movie at the same time, which will greatly improve the efficiency of collecting emotion points.

He was already planning in his mind who to choose as the next viewer in the next dream...

The next morning.

Even after Naruto opened his eyes, the scenes from his dream from the previous night kept replaying in his mind.

He lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, unable to recover for a long time.

Many things in dreams seem illusory, yet they surprisingly coincide with reality.

Last night, he discovered that his father was very likely the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

After confirming this, Naruto was deeply troubled.

The past twelve years of my life flashed through my mind.

From the time he learned to speak, he grew up in loneliness, never knowing who his parents were.

He endured the villagers' disgusted looks, longing for recognition, but was always treated as a monster.

But in that dream, he lived a completely different life.

His parents are alive and well, he is respected by the villagers, and even his peers look at him with envy...

Thinking of this, Naruto felt a tightness in his chest, and his heart ached with a bitter taste.

He couldn't stay any longer. Driven by unease and urgency, he rolled out of bed, hastily dressed, and rushed out of the house.

The streets of Konoha Village were shrouded in a thin mist in the early morning.

Naruto walked aimlessly down the street with his head down, his mind filled with a jumble of thoughts.

As he passed through the bustling city, he occasionally saw groups of two or three villagers passing by.

As usual, the moment these people saw Naruto, they immediately stared at him warily, and even unconsciously took a few steps away, as if avoiding some kind of plague.

Naruto took in all these reactions and felt an indescribable sense of grievance and anger.

I am the son of the Fourth Hokage!

My father died fighting for the village, even though I am the son of a hero!

But why do the people in the village hate me so much?

Why has no one ever told me the truth?

What did I do wrong to deserve this treatment?

In a daze, Naruto found himself in front of a tall building.

Looking up, the words "Naruto Building" came into view.

In his distracted state, he unknowingly wandered to the location of the Hokage's office.

Naruto paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and stepped inside.

Arriving at the floor where the Hokage's office was located, Naruto rushed straight to the office door.

He had only one thought in his mind.

I need to know the details!

I want my grandfather, who has lived three generations, to tell me why!

Chapter 56: Besides apologizing, what else can I say?

The office door was ajar.

Just as Naruto was about to knock on the door, he heard a familiar voice faintly coming from inside the room.

"...They are still inexperienced newbies, isn't assigning them this task too difficult!"

The voice was filled with deep worry and anxiety. Naruto's heart skipped a beat; this was...

Teacher Iruka?

Naruto gently pushed the door open a crack and peeked inside.

The scene that came into view was exactly as he had expected.

In the spacious Hokage's office, the Third Hokage sat behind his desk, smoking a pipe and flipping through documents, while his teacher, Iruka, stood in front of the desk.

Iruka looked earnest, as if he was trying his best to persuade the Hokage about something.

"Everyone starts by accumulating experience from simple tasks."

"Lord Hokage, isn't it too early for Naruto's team to be assigned a C-rank mission?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened quietly, slowly putting down the document in his hand, about to speak.

Suddenly, he and Iruka both heard a faint sound coming from the doorway and looked towards it simultaneously.

Naruto stood by the door, cautiously peeking half his body inside.

Realizing he had been discovered, Naruto simply pushed open the door and strode inside.

"Naruto?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback, not expecting the child to appear so suddenly.

He quickly waved with a smile, "Come in. What brings you here so early today? Is something the matter?"

Iruka, standing to the side, also looked puzzled.

"Naruto, what brings you here?"

Naruto opened his mouth, but did not answer immediately.

His gaze swept past Iruka and landed directly on the Third Hokage's face.

At that moment, the questions churning in his mind were almost bursting out.

However, the Third Hokage was unaware of Naruto's true thoughts, simply assuming that Naruto was just like always, running over to him whenever he felt like it.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "It's perfect that you're here. I have something to tell you. I've just picked a C-rank mission for your Class 7 to carry out. You can go out of the village and show off your skills."

"A C-rank mission to leave the village?!" Iruka was taken aback, clearly not expecting the Hokage to actually decide to do so.

He instinctively wanted to dissuade him again: "Lord Hokage, they really..."

But halfway through his sentence, Iruka suddenly realized that Naruto was right next to him, so he had to swallow the rest of his words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi caught a glimpse of Iruka's expression and smiled helplessly.

He knew perfectly well that Iruka meant well and cared about Naruto.

However, since Class 7 has already carried out quite a few D-rank missions in the village, according to the rules, they can indeed try slightly more difficult missions.

Moreover, Kakashi specifically mentioned in his written report yesterday that Naruto had been complaining for a long time that the mission was too easy.

As the Hokage, he wanted the newcomers to get some experience and also wanted Naruto to be happy.

Therefore, the Third Hokage fully expected that this news would make Naruto cheer with joy.

"Naruto, didn't you always complain that the previous missions were too easy and boring?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said kindly, "This time you can finally leave the village for a mission, I think you should be very happy—"

"Three generations of grandfathers..."

Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, Naruto interrupted him in a muffled voice.

Naruto's expression was indifferent; he showed neither surprise nor excitement, but rather a somewhat sullen mood.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Iruka were both taken aback.

Naruto's reaction was completely unexpected.

Naruto would normally be overjoyed at the prospect of leaving the village, but what's wrong with him today?

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became strange.

The Third Hokage, pipe in mouth, watched the boy's changing expression with puzzlement, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart; Naruto was behaving strangely today…

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly and asked cautiously, "Naruto, what's wrong? Is there something else?"

Naruto took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked directly at the Third Hokage.

After a moment of silence, he spoke: "Grandpa, I've come to ask you something."

Hiruzen Sarutobi met Naruto's intense gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.

The stubbornness and urgency in this child's eyes were unlike anything I'd ever seen before. Could it be...?
