Chapter 41: Followed

'I'm sure all those things would have meant a lot for the previous owner of this body...' Naruto glanced over the many pictures and other memorabilia displayed on the shelves.

'But they mean nothing to me.'

He did not consider these people as his family, so it was impossible to feel anything at all while glancing over these things.

What mattered to him right now was to find out if these two powerful ninjas had left behind any useful techniques or artifacts. Considering that the Hokage himself felt the need to protect this place from others, they must have come to the same conclusion as he did.

'The house is not too big, so it shouldn't take long to explore. I better get started.'

He began upstairs; there were only two bedrooms and one bathroom. One of them was almost empty. Naruto could guess that this was meant to be his room.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

The other one looked like a normal bedroom with one large bed at the center, surrounded by several pieces of furniture.

He approached the largest wardrobe and opened it up. It was divided into two sections, each containing a very different style of clothes.

Naruto pulled out a white robe. It had some writing on the back that said 'Fourth Hokage.'

There were two problems with learning that one. For one, Naruto did not know anything about this world's version of sealing techniques that they called 'fuuinjutsu.' And two...the writing was incomplete. At most, that scroll only had half of the instructions to replicate that technique, and he had no idea where the rest was.

He did find a large box with books about fuuinjutsu, so he intended to read them when he had time. If he could somehow combine what he already knew from his previous world about seals with the ones from this one... maybe he could create something new and powerful.

With his job at the house concluded, Naruto placed everything in a large box and began the walk back to his apartment.

For the moment, he had no intent on living here. He found his small apartment more comfortable, as he was used to spending long periods of time in very small spaces.

The streets of Konoha were all well-illuminated and still brimming with people.

Naruto earned a lot of glances as he walked by. Not that he usually didn't get harsh glances, but he was sure that his old clothes, dirty appearance, and the large box he was carrying didn't help him blend in among the other civilians going around the village.

It was a bit too late to stop for any shopping, so he decided to make his way directly towards his apartment.

Just a few minutes later, he was walking on a deserted street, away from the busy center.

'Hmm?... is someone following me?...' His spiritual senses may be dull, but his senses of hearing and smell were very sharp. And he was clearly hearing steps behind him.

Naruto stopped for a moment and looked back. As soon as he did, the other set of steps also came to an abrupt halt.

'I am definitely being followed... could it be?' His eyes moved to the box in his hands. Perhaps someone had been following him all day as he went into the former Hokage's house and was now planning on stealing the scrolls he had acquired.

He was sure that many would love to get their hands on those.

'If they think it's going to be easy to take something of mine...' His eyes became sharper as he spotted a shadowy figure hidden behind a lamp post.
