Naruto the Genius

Chapter 87 Vortex Red Leaves
Naruto walked towards the girl, showed a friendly smile and said, "Excuse me, can I live next door to your house?" Seeing Naruto coming, the girl lowered her head, and soon tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. She said to Naruto with sobs, "I just came to this island a few days ago. My mother brought me here, but when we were about to arrive here, an accident happened. My mother died in a shipwreck, and I was washed onto this island by the waves. This is not my home. I am just staying next to someone else's house temporarily to avoid the wind. These days I have been relying on picking up their leftovers to fill my stomach."

Hearing her say this, Naruto could basically conclude that her mother was most likely also a member of the Uzumaki clan. She might have come to find the place where her ancestors lived, and something unexpected happened when she was about to arrive. Naruto took out the dry food he brought with him, handed it to the girl and smiled, "You look like you are starving, take this and eat it first."

The girl looked at Naruto with some doubts at first, then took the dry food from Naruto and ate it voraciously. She quickly finished a large piece of dry food given by Naruto. Naruto handed her a bottle of water. She took the water from Naruto and drank a few gulps. At this time, she slowly reacted and said, "Thank you for the dry food, uncle. I don't even know your name."

Naruto said: "Just call me Huangtu, what's your name?"

The girl said: "My name is Hongye, but my mother won't let me tell anyone my last name."

Naruto said with a smile: "It's a nice name, your name is Uzumaki Momiji, right?"

Hongye was a little surprised and said, "How come Uncle Huangtu knows my last name? I guess we haven't met before."

Naruto said: "Speaking of which, we are still very predestined. Let's talk about these things later. In the past few days since you came here, have the people here never helped you?"

Hongye shook her head and said, "These people seem very cold and indifferent. No one wants to talk to me. After my mother disappeared, I had no choice but to stay here and sleep under someone else's roof every day."

Hongye's words also made Naruto feel a little strange. Although there might not be many people willing to help here, the indifference of these people was really a little abnormal. However, Naruto had just arrived here, and it was not convenient for him to investigate such things immediately. Seeing that it was getting late, Naruto said to Hongye: "Let's go to the forest over there to get some food, and then build a house over there, so that we don't have to sleep outside."

Hongye said happily, "Really? But it's getting dark now. Can we really build a house in such a short time?" Naruto took the lead and walked towards the woods. Although Hongye was a little puzzled, she hurried to follow him. Naruto kept walking into the depths of the woods and caught a rabbit on the way. Naruto's method of catching the rabbit made Hongye feel that Naruto was very powerful. She thought that if she followed Naruto, she might really have a place to live.

When they arrived at a place where there were basically no people, Naruto first checked the situation around, and then said to Hongye: "Turn around and close your eyes. When you count to five, turn around and I can make the house appear." Hongye said in disbelief: "Uncle Huangtu, you are lying. How is this possible?" Naruto smiled and said: "If Uncle Huangtu can't do it, I can promise you anything then. If you can, how about you promise me something too." Hongye's eyes were watery. She looked at Naruto and turned around. She scratched her hair and thought that she would not suffer any loss. She said readily: "That's it. Uncle Huangtu, don't cheat then." Then she turned her head away.

While her head was turned away, Naruto immediately used Wood Release to build a house. Although it was not very big, it had two rooms and there were many wooden furniture in the rooms. When Hongye turned around, she saw that an exquisite house had appeared here. She was surprised at first, and then happy. She couldn't wait to run into the house and was very satisfied with the layout inside. Naruto followed her into the house. Hongye sat on a wooden chair and said to Naruto: "I didn't expect Uncle Huangtu to know magic. It's great. This house is better than my previous house. I can have a good sleep today."

Naruto interrupted her and said, "It seems that we have an agreement before that." Naruto looked at Hongye with a smirk on his face. Seeing Naruto's expression, Hongye seemed very embarrassed. She was afraid that Naruto would ask her to do something embarrassing. Naruto said, "It seems that you must agree to anything. Let me think, what should I ask you to do? Learn to bark like a dog?" Hongye's heart sank suddenly. That would be too embarrassing. Naruto said again, "No, no, you will definitely not learn it well." Hongye, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, heard Naruto say again, "It's better to learn to dig the ground like a pig. This is not difficult." Hongye's heart sank. Looking at Hongye's face, Naruto laughed and said, "Forget it, I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it later."

Hongye walked up to Naruto, punched him and said, "Uncle Huangtu is so bad. He made me so worried." Naruto was still laughing. Hongye grabbed the rabbit that Naruto had caught before and said, "Let's finish this first. In fact, I haven't eaten enough just now." Although Hongye said it very naturally, her face still turned red unconsciously. Naruto stopped teasing her, picked up some branches and started a fire. What Naruto didn't expect was that Hongye's barbecue skills were very good. Naruto didn't bring any other seasonings, only salt. But Hongye still made the rabbit very fragrant. Naruto couldn't help drooling. After waiting for her to finish it with great difficulty, Naruto took a bite and the taste was better than Naruto's own.

Naruto sat face to face with her, with a fire between them. Naruto ate the rabbit meat in his hand quickly and praised: "Hongye, I didn't expect your cooking skills are quite good. This rabbit is better than Uncle Huangtu's."

Hongye suddenly said with some sadness: "This is what my mother taught me. My mother always said that even if a girl cannot do heavy work, she must do things like cooking well. But my mother is gone, and I don't know where she went." As she spoke, Hongye shed a few more tears. Naruto held her shoulders and comforted her: "Don't be too sad, maybe your mother is waiting for you somewhere. Look at you, your face is so dirty and your hair is so messy. You have become a clown after crying. Hurry up and finish eating the rabbit and go to the river over there to wash."

Hongye gradually got better under Naruto's comfort, and then she noticed that she was really dirty. She didn't even have time to pay attention to such things before, and now she realized it after Naruto reminded her. This was hard to accept for a girl who usually loves cleanliness. After eating the rabbit in big mouthfuls, she immediately ran to the river that Naruto mentioned. Naruto looked at her hurried back and couldn't help but smile.
