Trees Chapter 296 Naruto: I Can’t Stay in This Damn Village for Another Day

The people at the scene didn't know what to say when they saw the yellow-haired delinquent’s despicable behavior.

They can only say that he is worthy of being the yellow-haired delinquent who has been wreaking havoc in Konoha for many years.

Only Hashirama standing beside him had a strange expression.

He raised his hands to cover his face, unable to bear watching the antics of this yellow-haired junior.

Hashirama thought his own tactic of hiding behind Madara to launch a sneak attack was already despicable enough, but he never expected that the younger generation of Konoha would take it to such unscrupulous levels.

He thought that this young man could defeat Konohamaru with superior gaming skills...

But the result…

He might as well have done it himself.

At least he wouldn’t have gotten double-perfected by Konohamaru.

“Sniff…”

Konohamaru bit his upper lip, tears welling up in his eyes.

He never thought that his Aniki would treat him like this...

‘Even if Thin Ice Bro fought against me, it wouldn't be like this!!’

‘Even if Thin Ice Bro was defeated by me, the most he could do was to drag me into an alley for a real-life duel.’

"What are you crying for?!"

"Come on, we’re going home!!"

Hiruzen seized the opportunity to grab Konohamaru by the collar, and at the same time, he casted a grateful look at Naruto.

It was all thanks to Naruto, otherwise, he would not have been able to find an opportunity to take Konohamaru away.

Konohamaru, who was being held in the air by Hiruzen, flailed his limbs, trying desperately to break free from his Grandpa’s grip.

"Sandaime, let the kid play a little longer."

Hashirama placed a hand on Hiruzen’s shoulder, trying to persuade him to let Konohamaru stay.

After all, this was the first time that the invincible Shodaime Hokage had found a rather interesting opponent in gaming.

If they didn’t settle this properly, he’d feel a lingering regret.

After these words were spoken, Hiruzen fell silent, and Tsunade and Naruto beside him also fell silent.

Judging by Konohamaru’s bloodshot eyes, they knew he must not have gone to sleep for several days.

And after seeing that Hashirama's hair was so greasy it had clumped together, they didn’t even want to imagine how long this old man and young brat had been holed up in Shikamaru’s arcade.

When Konohamaru heard Hashirama speaking up for him, he immediately stopped struggling and spoke disrespectfully to his Grandpa with a grin.

"Grandpa, Shodaime promised that if he lost, he’d be my little bro."

"From now on, I’ll call you Grandpa, and you’ll call me Uncle. We’ll address each other separately."

When Hashirama heard Konohamaru talking about the bet he made before, he scratched his head and looked a little embarrassed.

Konohamaru's few words immediately made Hiruzen’s blood boiled again and his blood pressure skyrocketed to new heights.

He immediately dropped Konohamaru.

Konohamaru thought that his Grandpa was being frightened, so he crossed his arms, tilted his head with his eyes shut, and said very arrogantly, “Hmph.”

"Grandpa, you go back ahead. Once Uncle here and your buddy Hashirama finish this round..."

"YOU LITTLE BRAT!”

Hiruzen couldn't hold back any longer this time. He immediately formed hand seal to create shadow clones and prepared to unleash his signature move, Five Release Great Combo Technique.

"Grandpa Sandaime! Calm down! Calm down first!"

"Old man! Don't do it here!"

Naruto and Tsunade rushed forward to restrain the furious Hiruzen, while Shikamaru also rushed forward to intervene.

Everyone was afraid that the old man would lose control and destroy the entire arcade.

"Let me go!"

"Go ahead, try to stop me all day if you dare!!"

"I’m going to beat this little bastard to death sooner or later!"

Sandaime, who was held down, kicked wildly, trying to land a few hits on Konohamaru.

‘Damn it all!’

‘If I’d committed some great sin, just give me a quick death...’

‘Why do such annoying things always happen at my family!!!’

Seeing that his Grandpa was really angry, Konohamaru quickly hid behind his ‘little brother’, Hashirama.

While he looked a little scared, to be honest, Konohamaru believed in the strength of his Aniki, Naruto, and the intimidating presence of his new little brother, Hashirama.

"Uh..."

"Konohamaru is just a kid. Your teaching methods might be a bit too harsh, Saru."

Hashirama felt that Hiruzen’s attempt to use Ninjutsu to beat his grandson was a bit excessive.

As an experienced elder, he also offered some gentle advice.

"Grandpa! That's enough!"

"Just shut up already!"

Tsunade felt her blood pressure was about to rise.

Earlier, she wanted to go to her Grandpa to complain about her grand-uncle...

But now, she was starting to think she should be complaining to her grand-uncle about her Grandpa instead!

‘Damn it!’

‘What the hell was wrong with these people!?’

Originally, Tsunade had pulled these Hokage out of the Pure Land to help her relieve her worries and difficulties, but she was beginning to suspect things were only getting worse.

Naruto stayed silent on the sidelines, as his mood equally complicated.

‘My ‘little brother’ suddenly accepted Hashirama as his ‘little brother’...’

‘Did that mean I could call Hashirama my ‘fourth brother’?’

‘Damn it!’

‘Now the whole hierarchy is messed up!’

"Hmph!"

"Let me go!"

Sandaime shook off the others and pointed furiously at Konohamaru.

"From today on, don't even think about taking a ryo from home."

"If you have the ability, go earn your own money by doing missions!"

"Instead of training properly, all you do is play games all day."

"If you keep this up..."

"You’ll be ruined!"

Hiruzen thought that cutting off Konohamaru's allowance would be enough to stop this kid from doing anything reckless.

However, little did he know that Konohamaru had his own ways of making money...

"Hmph!"

"I don’t care!"

When Konohamaru heard his Grandpa talking about his own training, he immediately became furious.

‘I obviously worked so hard and so diligently!’

‘With my Door-Style Taijutsu, no one of my age has been able to defeat me. I even mastered Aniki’s Kitsunehameha.’

‘Grandpa obviously doesn’t understand anything!’

Feeling wronged, Konohamaru’s voice cracked with emotion.

When Hiruzen, who was already angry, heard that his grandson dared to talk back to him, he first took out a bottle of blood pressure medicine and swallowed a few pills, and then said something like ‘ungrateful brats getting too big for their britches’.

Finally, Hiruzen shook his head in disappointment and sighed, then left the arcade angrily.

Hashirama looked at Hiruzen’s departing back, then turned his head and asked Tsunade awkwardly.

"Um... Tsuna-chan..."

"Did I... mess things up?"

Tsunade massaged her templeswith one hand, sighed deeply, and raised her hand to wave at her Grandpa.

She really couldn't take it anymore. After what happened just now, she already felt a little dizzy.

Maybe it's because her blood pressure has gone up too.

"Then... I should probably head back."

Hashirama also realized that he had indeed gone too far.

Remembering Hiruzen’s furious expression, he decided to go find him and apologize.

After saying his goodbyes to a few people, Hashirama quickly left the scene.

Because he left in such a hurry, he completely forgot about the bill he’d racked up over the past few days.

"That… Tsunade-sama..."

"Shodaime-sama spent a total of 36,400 ryo…"

"Will that be mobile payment... or cash?"

Shikamaru hid behind Naruto, holding a payment QR code in his hand, and asked cautiously.

If Tsunade so much as twitched, he would immediately hide behind Naruto.

“I don’t have any money!”

"Naruto, pay for your aunt."

Naruto: “…”

Tsunade raised her head and motioned for Naruto to pay, which left the yellow-haired man speechless.

‘So in the end, I had to pay for everything?’

‘I really can’t stay in this damn village for another day.’

At this moment, Naruto missed everyone in the Akatsuki more than ever.

‘At least with them, there wasn’t this much nonsense every day.’

"No need."

"I'll take care of little bro Hashirama’s expenses."

Konohamaru took out his phone skillfully, then scanned the QR code and paid with a flourish.

Bang…

Tsunade was so angry that she raised her hand and punched Konohamaru on the head.

"You little brat! If you continue to be disrespectful, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!"
