Chapter 109 Utter Defeat
Chapter 109 A complete defeat
Generally speaking, when people are looking for a partner, they subconsciously look for someone with the same personality as themselves, or someone who is completely complementary to them.
The ideal relationship between the two should be one where their personalities complement each other, yet they share some commonalities.
Factors such as values, preferences, etc.
Temari's commanding and cool personality, full of assertiveness, can easily arouse a man's desire to conquer.
To put it in the style of a domineering CEO novel: Woman, you have successfully caught my attention.
Naruto paused as he passed a women's clothing store, then pushed open the door and went inside.
Pointing to a black cheongsam in the display case, he looked at Temari and said, "Try this one."
"Are you going to give me clothes?"
Temari was somewhat surprised. Was it really that direct?
Or is this just a normal dating process?
"Your outfit doesn't look good."
Naruto's blunt words made Temari's expression stiffen.
She then glared angrily at Naruto and, accompanied by the shop assistant, went into the fitting room.
Soon, Temari came out after changing into a cheongsam. The black cheongsam perfectly outlined her well-developed and slender figure.
The cheongsam's slit reached her thighs, and the hem of the skirt subtly shimmered with a warm, delicate, snow-white sheen, drawing attention wherever it went.
"How does it look?"
Temari scratched her cheek sheepishly with her fingertips, her gaze darting away.
"nice."
Naruto casually handed a card to the shop assistant: "This is it, swipe card."
"Thank you..."
Leaving the clothing store, Temari smiled shyly: "This is the first time a boy has ever bought me clothes."
"I already said it's a date. Have you ever gone on a date before?"
"No, what about you?"
What do you think?
"..."
This guy is really shameless and brazen in his scumbag behavior.
And you're dating me right now, is it really okay to be this honest?
Seeing Temari's displeased expression, Naruto chuckled.
"But it was indeed the first time I took the initiative to invite him."
"So should I feel honored?"
"No need for that, I'm not some high and mighty person."
"But the feeling you give me... is that of someone aloof and superior."
Temari looked conflicted. Although Naruto was very gentle, he did have a kind of unapproachable quality.
"That's because, in terms of the difference in strength, everyone is under my feet. People fear me and revere me, so even if I adopt an equal stance, people can only look up to me."
Naruto said casually, "I'm not high and mighty. It's just that people put on too low an attitude. In reality, I'm just a little willful, but I do have the right to be willful."
That's true.
Temari nodded; she had heard various rumors about Naruto before.
From the perspective of one person destroying a village, it is no exaggeration to call him a legend in the ninja world. Even the Kage of a village could not easily accomplish such a feat.
So when I actually met him, I automatically felt inferior.
Even if the two are friends, that friend is someone who could slap you to death at any time, so their relationship is naturally completely different.
Before Temari could continue thinking, Naruto walked into a jewelry store and pointed to a crystal necklace in the display case.
"Try this one."
Temari glanced at it; it was a teardrop-shaped citrine.
Naruto put it on and tried it on, then glanced at it.
Below her snow-white neck, teardrop-shaped citrine shimmered with a warm and soft light in the sunlight.
"good."
"The customer has excellent taste; this necklace..."
"Swipe your card."
Naruto held the bank card between his fingers, effectively silencing the salesperson who had so much to say.
With a single beep, two hundred and fifty thousand taels were exchanged.
Temari's eyes twitched when she saw the bill.
Do you like it?
"It's a bit...too expensive."
"I didn't ask you what you thought of the price."
Temari blushed, and her heartbeat noticeably quickened.
Although she wasn't a materialistic girl, Naruto's behavior was indeed a bit intoxicating for girls.
Sunagakure Village itself was in poor economic condition and was located in a remote and impoverished area, which made Temari, who was experiencing the domineering CEO vibe for the first time, feel a little overwhelmed.
"You've gone to so much trouble..."
Temari blushed and whispered.
"It doesn't matter, there's nowhere else to spend this money."
Naruto didn't care at all; he had taken the money from Gato.
This guy came to the Land of Lightning on business half a year ago and happened to be encountered by Naruto. So Naruto sent Samui out to take over all of this unlucky guy's businesses.
However, this rumored billionaire, who was said to be incredibly wealthy, disappointed Naruto.
Including real estate, the assets are only a few hundred million, which can only be described as not bad.
The so-called wealth that rivals that of a nation... is actually only from the perspective of Tazuna, the shipbuilder. In the ninja world, any city that is built can be considered a country!
You, Gato, are so rich, yet you have to hire the cheapest rogue ninja to assassinate an ordinary person? And your strongest subordinates are two ronin?
Naruto only understood this principle later, which is similar to the peasant's view that the emperor eats from a golden bowl.
At that time, Naruto was also preparing to let A take over the business under Gato's control.
After Samui investigated the matter thoroughly, Ai Quan left it to him as pocket money and also helped him clean up the mess, erasing the negative impact of the random assassination of a wealthy businessman.
So even though Naruto got the money, he wasn't happy because he had never been so humiliated before...
Assets worth hundreds of millions may sound like a lot, but each of the five great nations' ninja villages has at least 10,000 to 20,000 ninja on the payroll, and that's just the paid ninja.
Once war breaks out, this number will double again, with each person getting at most one D-rank mission, which is really not enough from the perspective of a ninja village.
It was on that occasion that Naruto realized just how outrageous the economic conditions of the national aristocracy were.
The prince of the Snow Country receives a stipend of one billion...
The shogun of the Land of Lightning receives a stipend of 2.5 billion...
Kado's net worth is less than what he, a thief, earns in a year!
"This bracelet is nice, I'll buy it!"
"These stockings are nice, I'll buy them!"
"This woman is nice..."
"Wait a minute!"
Temari grabbed Naruto, who was heading straight for Kabukicho.
She was completely different from before, now wearing a fitted cheongsam, an elegant necklace, and black stockings with an alluring sheen, looking incredibly powerful.
"Don't run around..."
Temari's cheeks flushed, a stark contrast to her assertive demeanor when they first met.
"What kind of date is this... How about I treat you to dinner? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Lipstick.
Seeing Naruto's ambiguous smile, Temari's face turned even redder.
"What exactly do you want? Are you... are you trying to pursue me?"
"What if that's the case?"
"Then I think... it's better to go slower. I'm not... mentally prepared yet."
Temari blushed and lowered her head, her shoes lightly brushing the ground.
"oh."
Naruto responded with an "oh," looking a little unhappy.
"Are you... unhappy?"
Temari looked at him tentatively.
"A little."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to refuse, I just think it's a bit too fast. Actually, I feel about you..."
"To me what?"
Naruto turned his head with a smile, a hint of triumph flashing in his eyes.
Temari stared intently into those azure eyes, utterly defeated…
