Inside the Cafeteria.
Just as Rokuro and Hinata opened their lunch boxes, Naruto leaned in again, looking pitifully at Rokuro's lunch box, drool practically dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Where is your food?" Rokuro asked, guarding his lunch as he saw this.
Naruto's expression instantly darkened, and he lowered his head. "I forgot to bring it!"
Hearing this, Rokuro curled his lip. "What is wrong with your family? How could they forget something like this?"
Naruto lowered his head even further. "I don't have a family. I grew up alone!"
Rokuro, of course, knew that Naruto was an orphan.
But.
He had to pretend he didn't know.
Hearing Naruto's words, he feigned astonishment. "Are you a child from the orphanage too?"
Naruto looked at Rokuro and shook his head. "No, I grew up in Konoha Village. My parents must have died fighting for Konoha, so the Grandpa Hokage sends people to look after me!"
Hearing this, Rokuro patted Naruto on the shoulder. "It doesn't matter. Aren't I an orphan too? What does it matter? Once you become strong, you'll naturally gain confidence!"
Naruto nodded repeatedly, recovering some of his spirit. He then shamelessly leaned close to Rokuro and said, "Big Brother, how about you share half your rice with me? What do you say?"
"I say no!" Rokuro pushed Naruto away directly. "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself!"
Naruto froze, looking around. "I don't see anyone selling things here. Big Brother, are you mistaken? Do you want me to go outside to buy food? That's not allowed; didn't Iruka-sensei say so this morning?"
Rokuro pouted. "He said we can't leave the school, but he didn't say our clones can't leave. Give me the money, and I'll have my clone go buy it for you!"
Naruto suddenly realized the loophole, but then he whispered ingratiatingly to Rokuro, "Big Brother, can you lend me some money? I didn't bring any money with me. I'll pay you back when I have money, okay?"
Rokuro rolled his eyes at Naruto and said, "I'll lend it to you on a 'Nine-out, Twelve-back' basis!"
Naruto looked confused. "What does that mean?"
Rokuro revealed a wicked expression. "You borrow ten thousand. I only give you nine thousand cash. But when you pay me back, you have to pay twelve thousand!"
Naruto's eyes went wide. "Big Brother, that's too shameless! Who lends money like that?!"
Rokuro didn't care at all. He curled his lip and said, "Does my clone not deserve a labor fee for running errands to buy you stuff? Also, the minimum loan here is ten thousand. If you don't take it, just go hungry!"
Naruto was conflicted.
Rokuro patted Naruto on the shoulder. "Little Brother, don't struggle over a trivial amount of money. You are going to be a big shot. Once you become a Jōnin in the future, a casual mission will earn you hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions. Don't you think your vision is too narrow, worrying about a mere ten thousand ryō?"
Naruto nodded repeatedly, feeling that this made a lot of sense. "Right, right! Once I become Hokage, I'll earn this small change back in a minute. Then, Big Brother, lend me ten thousand!"
Rokuro smiled.
He formed hand seals.
Poof!
He summoned a Shadow Clone.
Then he took out ten thousand ryō and handed it to the Shadow Clone. "Go buy a super-sized bowl of Ichiraku Ramen for my Little Brother. And buy him some supplements to nourish his body; he looks too frail!"
The Shadow Clone took the money, glanced at Naruto, smiled faintly, and left the classroom.
Naruto looked at Rokuro's Shadow Clone with envy. "Big Brother, that ability is so useful. I wonder when I'll be able to learn that kind of Ninjutsu!"
Rokuro pouted, picked up his bento, and started eating. "You? Wait another four or five years!"
Naruto was depressed, but he sat down to wait.
Inside the cafeteria.
The children were eating while watching Rokuro.
That Shadow Clone Rokuro just used proved that he was no ordinary person. That was a Ninjutsu usually only Chūnin could use, yet Rokuro could use it at just five years old.
Truly a little genius.
While everyone was curious, someone took action. Holding his lunch box, he walked over and sat opposite Rokuro. He looked at Rokuro and said, "You're Kanda Rokuro, right? I will defeat you!"
Here he comes!
It was Uchiha Sasuke.
Rokuro had just been thinking about how to find an opportunity to get close to him.
Unexpectedly!
He came over on his own.
Then I certainly can't miss this chance.
Rokuro glanced at Sasuke while eating. "Looking at your appearance, you're from the Uchiha Clan, right? Your clan's Sharingan is indeed powerful, but you haven't awakened your eyes yet, have you?"
Sasuke snorted coldly. "So what if I haven't awakened them? I can still defeat you. Just you wait and see! I definitely won't let you surpass my brother. My brother is the true genius of Konoha!"
Uh!
So he came because of Uchiha Itachi.
It seems!
Someone must have compared him to Uchiha Itachi.
Who would have thought?
I'm considered a big shot now; I can actually be compared to Itachi. Thinking about it makes me a little excited!
