Charging a high tuition fee to teach Terumi Mei Sage Techniques was something Naruto had planned from the start.
Once she was heavily in debt, Terumi Mei would automatically lose most of her say when facing him.
After all, he who eats another's food is bound to obey, and he who takes another's gifts is bound to serve.
So, in a situation where she couldn't beat him and also owed him money, any request Naruto made, as long as it wasn't too excessive, would leave Terumi Mei with no choice but to accept.
In this situation, Terumi Mei would inevitably try to make money quickly to pay off the debt, thus freeing herself from Naruto's control.
That way, Terumi Mei would definitely not refuse the various economic plans Naruto proposed, and might even actively cooperate.
In this situation, Naruto could indirectly control the entire Hidden Mist Village from behind the scenes, making it operate according to his ideas, thereby earning a lot of profit.
And in the process, he could gather enough talent for his organization's development.
Too many things had happened recently, so much so that Naruto only now had the opportunity and time to plan for his future goal of pursuing Great Unification.
And the plan was proceeding very smoothly; greater power was a powerful weapon against ninjas, and eternal youth and longevity were even more of a surefire hit for female ninjas.
In the end, Terumi Mei clearly knew that Naruto had other plans, but she didn't refuse, gritting her teeth and signing the contract.
This is an Open Conspiracy!
Anyway, the entire Hidden Mist Village combined probably couldn't beat Naruto alone, and Naruto wasn't the kind of person who was unreasonable.
Since that was the case, what was there to worry about?
Taking the contract that Terumi Mei had signed and handed back, Naruto put it away, and a Scroll appeared in his hand, containing a complete set of beauty, skincare, and self-cultivation plans, as well as several matching skincare products.
Handing over the Scroll, a smile appeared on Naruto's lips: "Well then, happy cooperation. After you've been busy for a while, I'll teach you Sage Techniques. If you need anything, just light up the Kunai to contact me. I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, then I won't see you off, little brother."
Taking the Scroll Naruto handed over, Terumi Mei couldn't wait to open it and read it.
Compared to the important affairs of the village, her skin condition and beauty were indeed more important. The important affairs of the village could be dealt with at any time, but if beauty was gone, it was really gone!
Of course, the actual situation was that the current Hidden Mist Village was still in the state of cleaning up the battlefield, and there was nothing to be busy with for the time being.
It was when they started to revive and develop the village that it would be time to lose hair.
Otherwise, Terumi Mei wouldn't have had time to stand here and haggle with Naruto.
Seeing this, Naruto shook his head and left without stopping, activating the Flying Thunder God Technique.
It was already evening. At the Sea View Villa, Naruto, who had just removed his makeup, changed into a pair of Black Casual Pants and a blue plaid shirt, and restyled his hair, thought for a moment.
He had been busy for many days in a row recently and hadn't had a rest, so he decided to give himself a small half-day vacation, and didn't go to train.
Naruto activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared at the gate of the Hyuga Main House.
Seeing Naruto's arrival, a Hyuga guard quickly went in to report, while another invited Naruto into the living room and served him fragrant tea.
This was the treatment Naruto had only received recently, after Hiashi's mentality changed and he decided to work hard to train a small account.
Before that, Hiashi, who was extremely displeased with Naruto, would directly ignore his existence. If you want to wait, just wait outside the gate.
Although this didn't conform to the rules of hospitality for a prestigious family, Hiashi himself was happy.
Naruto sat down in the living room, and Hanabi's maid, Hyuga Natsu, brought him tea. Before he could take a sip, Hinata rushed over with a flushed face.
Judging by her training clothes and the sweat on her cheeks, she must have been training just now.
"Naruto-kun," Hinata called out happily.
"Hinata."
Naruto smiled, greeted her, and handed over the teacup in his hand: "You must be tired, drink some tea to replenish your fluids. I'll be here, no need to rush."
Because her sister left early, Hanabi, who couldn't train, happened to walk over and saw this scene, and immediately felt her stomach was a little full.
She couldn't help but puff up her cheeks unhappily, like a steamed bun.
"Naruto-kun, I'll go change my clothes first, see you later."
Hinata took the tea from Naruto's hand, which he had chilled to a moderate temperature using the Ice Release he had just learned, and drank it. However, her cheeks unconsciously became even redder.
After drinking, the shy Hinata put down the teacup and ran away with an excuse.
By the way, she also dragged away Hanabi, who looked unhappy and was about to come up and make trouble.
Before long, Hinata reappeared, all dressed up.
At this moment, the girl's hair was styled in a Hime cut, wearing a sky-blue kimono, her head slightly lowered, somewhat shy, not daring to look directly at Naruto.
As for Hanabi, who wanted to come along as a third wheel, she was caught by her father and taken away for extra training.
Naruto smiled and stepped forward, took the girl's hand, nodded slightly to the maid Hyuga Natsu who was attending to them, and led Hinata out of the Hyuga Main House.
"I don't want to date in Konoha, let's go to Maple Leaf City. There's a festival in Maple Leaf City tonight, and there will be a fireworks display in the evening. I'll take you to stroll around, okay? Hinata."
Naruto asked at the door.
Knowing that Hinata wasn't the kind of person who had her own opinions in front of him, Naruto decided on the location of the date. Of course, out of respect, he still symbolically asked Hinata for her opinion.
"Yes."
Naturally, the girl couldn't possibly have any objections to this, and just responded softly.
After Naruto held her hand, Hinata's heart was pounding like a deer. At this time, she had no ability to think.
"Then let's go."
Naruto smiled and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The next moment, the two appeared on the commercial street in Maple Leaf City.
Led by Naruto, who had been there once, the two began a date journey from the beginning of the street to the end.
During this time, they would occasionally participate in some traditional festival activities such as throwing darts and scooping goldfish.
As night fell, Naruto took Hinata to a secluded place on the city wall with a wide view.
At this moment, the moon hung high in the sky, and the silvery moonlight shone on the earth.
On the ground, colorful fireworks began to be set off.
At this moment, many people in Maple Leaf City stopped to watch this rare beautiful scene.
"It's so beautiful."
Hinata stared at the fireworks in a daze, sighing with admiration.
"Yeah," Naruto echoed.
In unison, they both looked at each other at that moment.
Their eyes met, and from Hinata's shy face, Naruto read a mixture of shyness and anticipation.
And so, facing those sparkling eyes, he lowered his head.
The two drew closer and closer, their shadows finally slowly overlapping.
