Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 25: Going Out

After deactivating the Eye of God, Orion suddenly felt a bit hungry. After all, he had been unconscious for nearly a day. He hadn't eaten for so long, it would be strange if he wasn't hungry.

Orion hopped off my single bed and wanted to head out the door. After walking to the door, I opened the closed door, and a very dazzling light shone in. This light was so刺眼 (cìyǎn - dazzling/blinding) that I could barely open my eyes.

But that was only for a moment. Soon, Orion's eyes adjusted to this level of brightness. He looked into the distance and saw the family courtyard.

The courtyard was empty. Trees stood quietly within the courtyard walls. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew past.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh."

This gentle breeze lightly brushed against Orion's face. Orion reached out his hand to feel the breath of this wind. He closed his eyes and calmed his heart to feel it. This breeze was cool and felt very comfortable as it blew, so he habitually stretched.

"So comfortable. Being caressed by a breeze like this is really comfortable."

"I don't know why, but ever since I was little, I've loved the feeling of the wind blowing past my face. I've always liked to stand in my own yard, just standing there quietly, waiting for the feeling of the breeze on my face. This feeling can make me easily forget any troubles I have."

After staying in his room for nearly a whole day and consuming a large amount of spiritual energy and chakra, even Orion felt a little tired. But this bit of fatigue was easily blown away by this gentle breeze in the courtyard, making Orion feel joyful in his heart and mind, without a trace of tiredness left.

But why wasn't Mother Kushina in the courtyard? Orion lowered his head and searched all over his house, running around and checking several rooms, but he couldn't find his mother.

Orion ran around in a circle and finally returned to the courtyard. He didn't know where his mother was, but there was one thing I was sure of: she must have gone out on a mission.

After all, I'm already four years old, not that young anymore. I usually act like a little adult in front of my mother. My mother probably felt that nothing would happen to me even if she wasn't here. But this was also true, because my father, Minato Namikaze, was already the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. There were quite a few people secretly protecting me near my house.

"Forget it. I was originally hoping to find Mother to see if there was anything to eat. I haven't eaten for almost a day, and my stomach is really hungry. But it's understandable that Mother isn't here."

"After all, I was unconscious for almost a day, yet my own mother didn't discover that I was unconscious. This shows that my mother, Kushina, was probably not at home."

"Forget it. Since my mother, Kushina Uzumaki, isn't at home, then I'll just go out and get something to eat!"

After staying in the courtyard for a while, Orion went directly to his room, took some of his allowance money, and prepared to use it to buy something to eat.

Actually, this allowance was quite a lot. His mother would basically give him some allowance every so often, and he almost always ate at home every day, so this allowance was rarely used.

"I don't need to buy clothes; my mother, Kushina, buys them and delivers them to my room. Besides food and clothes, I don't need anything else, so this allowance just kept accumulating, until now."

But this time, besides going out to buy food, there were some other things that needed to be purchased. Orion had already activated the system that could increase his proficiency, and he had also obtained the Hyuga clan's Rotation and Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palms. The Eye of God, which complemented the Gentle Fist, was also activated. Now was probably the time to go buy some ninja tools, plus some other miscellaneous things.

Soon, I took all the allowance money from my room, put it in my pocket, and got ready to leave the house. I jogged to the front door of my house, opened it, walked out, and then closed the door again.

However, Orion felt that even if he didn't close the door, it probably wouldn't be a big problem. Because this was the home of Konoha's Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Basically, no one would be so blind as to break in.

Even if there really was such a person, the Konoha Anbu weren't just for decoration. They would definitely take the intruder away directly. What they would do after taking them away, I didn't know. But closing the door behind me was already my habit. Anyway, it was just closing a door; it wouldn't waste much time.

After closing the main door, Orion jogged away and onto the streets of Konoha. It was early morning, and there were still many people coming and going on the streets of Konoha. It was very lively and bustling.

Orion walked down the street. There were many small stalls hawking their wares. The owners of these stalls were mostly civilians of the Konoha ninja village. Most of them couldn't use ninjutsu, but since they couldn't use ninjutsu to make a living, they had to survive, so they could only sell things on the streets.

As Orion was walking down the street, a fragrant aroma suddenly wafted over. He sniffed hard and slowly walked towards the source of the aroma. In the end, he discovered that it was a grilled squid stall.

Orion walked up to the grilled squid stall and watched the owner placing skewers of squid on the grill to cook. But this stall was rather special, because in front of it stood many villagers from the Konoha ninja village. A lot of people were standing in front of this stall, waiting for the squid the owner was grilling.

Orion looked at the many people in front of him and couldn't help but frown.

"There are so many people in front of this stall. But honestly, the squid this stall is grilling smells really good!" Unable to resist the temptation of the aroma, I squeezed through the many people and went directly to the front.

The Konoha villagers, who had been staring intently at the grilled squid, also felt someone pushing them. They were just about to turn their heads to mumble a few words of complaint, but when they turned, they saw Orion.

The villager who turned his head suddenly said, "Young... Young Master Orion, isn't this Young Master Orion?" The villager who saw me was a bit excited.

That villager's words were heard by the other villagers, so they all turned their heads one after another, and they all saw my face, saying one after another.

"Young Master Orion is still so cute."

"Yeah, yeah, I feel like Young Master Orion's skin has gotten even fairer."

"Young Master Orion, why are you out today? We haven't seen you in so long."

Many people in the crowd were talking. Among them were middle-aged women, young girls, and some young men.

Because Orion was often brought out by his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, and the other villagers all knew Kushina, over time, most of the villagers had also come to know me.

Seeing these villagers all staring at my face without blinking, I felt a trace of embarrassment.

"Sigh, this face of mine really is a killer for all ages," Orion said helplessly, looking at my fair and tender face.

But Orion didn't have any good solution for this. He could only quickly walk to the stall owner, grab a few skewers of grilled squid, pay the money, and run away.
