When Naruto returned home, he prepared his gift, looked in the mirror, combed his hair, and got ready. This made him appear to be a young boy with decent features.
His fading orange color, which was turning bright red, made him stand out in front of others, despite the fact that it was making him look really ablaze.
Although Naruto wanted to focus on training more, he kept a simple distance from them.
Especially girls nowadays have been proactively talking with him and sharing their food from time to time.
Having such attention was not bad, and Naruto felt that the way things were going, his previous host could have been happy with it.
Not to mention that he enjoyed their attention because he didn't have to buy food for his lunch and, on occasion, he would receive a hand-made lunch from others that tasted really good.
It was difficult for Naruto to find food that tasted that good. He was unable to consume such foods because he lacked parental guidance in either world.
Only a housewife could master this freshly made, vegetable-filled dish with a variety of textures.
Naruto would kindly thank the person for her good intentions each time he received one of those lunches, and as a result, he never realized how he came to be quite well-known among girls.
Given that most of them tend to be girls, other people might sympathize with him because they would approach him for conversations even outside the academy, which would make Naruto appear even more odd.
"Naruto!!!" A girl from the side class called Naruto as soon as he arrived at ground level and waved her hand in greeting.
So Naruto walked up to her and smiled, as she was a good friend of his who had been chatting with him more frequently outside the academy.
"Are you going for training?"
She quickly returned to Naruto's side and inquired, a small smile spreading across her face as she considered how Sasuke's attractiveness, which was more akin to a cold prince, was the exact opposite of Naruto's.
On the other hand, Naruto had that kind smile and approachable nature that made it possible for them to speak to him.
That makes him the best person to approach, though thanks to Naruto's recent screening, they all discovered how he was getting stronger.
"But he will remember us after getting successful, right?" This small doubt is what is keeping most of the girls away from him.
And those who approach him, simply had a desire to befriend him and nothing else, after all, they all do not wished to waste his special training time in the safety of academic life.
"No, I was going to Hinata's birthday party, so no training today." Naruto grinned as he looked at Ino and her mother as they walked toward him.
Due to this, the girl from before smiled with a little lift of her lips as she said goodbye and ran away.
Where Naruto nodded and asked if he could invite her to lunch tomorrow, since that was the day he had promised them some food.
"Alright, I will keep that in tab, then bye, Naruto-Kun."
Hearing Naruto words, a smile bloom on Nuriya face as she nodded and rushed away, as she thought, 'He will definitely remember us for sure, after all, that is how the Naruto-Kun we knew is truly like.'
In Ino's mother's eyes, the hidden smile on Nuriya's face was easily noticeable as she looked at her daughter and smiled bitterly.
After all, she discovered that many girls had begun to notice and approach Naruto, who was improving in his class, over the last few months because of all the changes that had occurred within his behavior and nature.
With such rapid changes, it was not easy to obtain Naruto nature, but rather Naruto strength when it came to large amounts of chakra, she felt.
Ino's mother was confident that Naruto would develop into a powerful shinobi, in particular because of his red hair, which is a sign that the influence of his Uzumaki ancestry is changing him and increasing his power.
"Naruto, you are getting more and more handsome; sigh, what is my daughter doing at a time like this, still chasing that young Uchiha?"
Ino's mother's words caused her to blush in embarrassment as she tried to pinch her, but because Ino's mother was also a chunin level shinobi, she responded quickly.
Because of this, Ino was ultimately forced to concede defeat because she was unable to pinch her mother despite her best efforts.
"Let's go then." Naruto had a wry smile because he was also incapable of going against Ino's mother's momentum as he laughed wryly while changing the subject.
With that, Ino's mother chuckled at both of them and nodded, as all three of them walked away.
