Chapter 16 Can I Change It To Yours?
🕑 Added 2025-09-30 12:35:41 +0000 UTC"Want me to show you?"
Naruto looked at Haruno Sakura with a serious expression.
Sakura was a little scared, but also genuinely curious.
So Naruto repeated what he had just done.
He walked into the mask shop.
Not long after, angry shouts came from inside:
"Damn monster! Don’t come into my store!"
"You want to buy a mask? Didn’t I tell you?"
"Even if I starve to death, I will never sell anything to you!"
Naruto put his hands in his pockets and walked out with a calm expression.
Sakura swallowed nervously when she saw his calm demeanor, as if he were used to this treatment.
She frowned and said firmly: "I’ll buy it for you! What style do you want?"
"Whatever." Naruto put his hand into his pocket, took out some silver coins from the system space, and handed them over.
Then, Sakura entered the mask shop.
Soon, angry shouts erupted again:
"Go away! That monster just came here, and now you want to buy a mask?"
"Where are the girls who like tiger masks?!"
"Don’t think I don’t know—you bought it for that monster!"
"Wait… Yazhi?! What do you think you’re doing?!"
"Stop it! I’ll sue you!"
Under Naruto’s watchful gaze, Sakura clutched the mask and bolted from the shop like a pink-furred mouse.
She ran toward Naruto, shouting, "Naruto, run!"
"Shall I go?" Naruto asked in shock. "What did you do?"
Seeing the mask shop owner trying to chase her, Naruto had no choice but to run alongside Sakura.
The fat shopkeeper couldn’t keep up.
Realizing he couldn’t catch them, Sakura laughed joyfully: "Hehe You chase me Hehehe!"
"If you catch me, I’ll give the mask back!"
Naruto: "…6?"
He never expected Sakura to be so wild as a child.
The two ran down the street.
After a few hundred meters, the exhausted shopkeeper stopped.
Bending over with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, he shouted: "You brat! Just wait!"
Then, realizing he had a store to run, he turned and left.
Naruto and Sakura stopped, catching their breath.
Sakura proudly handed Naruto the tiger mask: "How’s that? Now we’re even, right?"
"Okay." Naruto took the mask and saw that it was slightly larger than his face.
But it could easily cover his entire face, so others wouldn’t notice.
Sakura, seeing how happy Naruto was with the mask, felt a bit uncomfortable.
She hadn’t experienced Naruto’s life and didn’t understand why he was so delighted.
"Um… ahem," Sakura said softly. "I can help with things like this in the future."
Huh?
Sakura was actually being helpful?
Naruto looked at the little girl in front of him, her face flushed from running, and felt a little surprised.
"Really? Sakura-chan?" he asked uncertainly.
Because of what had happened before—Sakura had told Hinata about Sasuke and herself—Naruto wasn’t sure if she really had good intentions.
Really…?
Sakura placed her hand on Naruto’s shoulder, gave a mischievous smile, and whispered: "But I have conditions~"
Of course, the condition must have something to do with Sasuke.
Naruto: "Say."
Sakura, thinking about Sasuke, said: "Isn’t Sasuke really close to you? I want… to get a photo of him."
"Oh~ That’s it?" Naruto smiled. "It’s simple—I have one in my drawer at home."
Sakura, no longer sleepy at the mention of Sasuke, followed Naruto home.
She temporarily forgot about the rumors that Naruto was a monster.
Once inside, Sakura looked around curiously.
Naruto lived alone and was still a boy, yet his room was surprisingly neat.
It was clear that Naruto valued cleanliness.
Wrong!
Suddenly, Sakura became suspicious.
A tidy, smell-free room—either a cross-dresser or a fake!
And Naruto and Sasuke…
Thinking this, Sakura felt a little desperate.
However, Naruto quickly pulled a photo of Sasuke from the drawer.
Sakura took it with a stunned expression and glanced down.
She felt as if she had been struck blind.
"This… this… this…!?" Sakura stammered. "This is actually… this is…"
In the photo, Sasuke wore a cute pink dress, posing in a shy, slightly annoyed manner.
"This is a rare treasure!"
Sakura held the photo in her hands and asked Naruto: "Why does Sasuke have a photo like this?"
Her perspective of life had been completely refreshed.
Sasuke, an aloof person at school, had always seemed mysterious.
Many girls were drawn to his looks and mystique, and Sakura was one of them.
But now she saw him in women’s clothing, looking shy—the contrast was shocking.
"Don’t worry," Naruto said. "Just treat this photo as a trinket if it doesn’t meet your needs."
Sakura nodded frantically: "No, it fits perfectly!"
And just like that, Naruto and Sakura reached an agreement:
If Naruto wanted to buy something, Sakura would help.
In return, Naruto would give her a photo of Sasuke.
After getting the photo, Sakura began helping Naruto run errands around Konoha, buying everything he needed.
That large bag of supplies? Without Sakura’s relentless help, he probably couldn’t have carried it.
…
Time passed.
The system never released new tasks.
Naruto wasn’t in a hurry either.
And his good looks continued to develop, making him more handsome.
The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, in addition to being the fastest man, also held the title of Konoha’s heartthrob!
He won the admiration of countless girls in Konoha.
If Kushina hadn’t already succeeded, who knows what would have happened with Naruto!
Three months later, the year was ending.
Ninja school was about to start winter vacation.
Today was the last day of school.
Naruto stood at the school gate, waiting for someone.
Sakura approached, blushing, and handed a pack of underwear to Naruto.
Naruto took a photo of Sasuke from his pocket and handed it to her with ease.
But this time, Sakura didn’t reach out to take it.
Naruto looked at her in surprise.
Sakura’s bright eyes met his as she asked: "Can I swap it for yours?"
Naruto: "?"
