Chapter 228 Why I don’t have a father or a mother

"Okay, really?!" Naruto heard Ichiraku Ramen and looked at Haneda excitedly.

"I'm just hungry, eh? I don't think I had breakfast. Never mind, it's not important. Let's go, strange uncle."

"If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Haneda, or you can call him..."

Haneda pointed at a young man with silver-white hair hiding behind a tree and smiled.

"Uncle Kakashi."

Kakashi hesitated, put the body of the Anbu ninja down, and walked out from behind the tree.

He returned to the village from the Land of Grass last night. When he woke up early in the morning, he saw that the statue of Mr. Minato had been graffitied by a child.

Kakashi got angry on the spot and immediately went to catch the naughty kid who committed the crime.

As a result, he saw Haneda and Minato's child Naruto.

So, Kakashi secretly intercepted the Anbu who was about to go back to report.

"Long time no see, Naruto."

"It's been three years, right? I held you in my arms when you were a kid."

Kakashi looked relaxed as he walked towards Naruto.

But Naruto fearfully grabbed Haneda's hand, wanting to ask Haneda to take him away from here.

Seeing this, Kakashi's smile suddenly froze.

"He is your father's student. You don't have to be afraid. He won't hurt you."

"Father?"

"I don't have a mom or a dad!"

Naruto hid behind Haneda. The strange uncle in front of him had a strong smell of blood.

He subconsciously felt that he should stay away from Kakashi.

"Forget it, let's talk about this later. He still feels strange about us now."

"Let's go have a meal together at Ichiraku Ramen, Kakashi."

Haneda touched Naruto's little head and teleported to the bottom of the Hokage Rock in an instant.

"I almost forgot. I also made a mark there."

Haneda smiled, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.

After a few seconds, Kakashi also arrived here through Flying Thunder God.

Naruto looked at the scene of the changing of times and Kakashi who appeared in front of him in an instant, with his mouth wide open.

"This, this is..."

"Flying Thunder God Technique, this is the ninjutsu your father taught us." Haneda explained.

Before Naruto could react, he pulled Naruto to sit on a stool in Ichiraku Ramen.

"What do you like to eat?"

“A big bowl of miso char siu ramen! A big bowl of miso char siu ramen! This is my favorite!!”

Naruto knew that Haneda would definitely treat them, so he slapped the table and said excitedly.

"Two large bowls of miso chashu ramen, hand-beaten uncle!"

After listening to Haneda's order, Kakashi thought Haneda would order for him and said helplessly:

"Uncle Handbeater, I'd also like a big bowl of miso chashu ramen, thank you."

After ordering the food, Naruto suddenly remembered something.

He remembered that Haneda and Kakashi had both mentioned the father they never had, and asked with doubt:

"Do you know my parents?"

Haneda and Kakashi looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Then why don't I have a father and a mother, while others have them?"

"Don't they like me or want me?"

Naruto asked with trepidation.

Very early on, he heard people pointing at him and saying that he was a fox demon and that people should not play with him or they would be eaten.

He sometimes wondered if his parents had abandoned him because he was a fox demon.

He heard that some orphans were abandoned by their parents because of disability, low IQ and other reasons.

Perhaps, he is like this too.

Haneda and Kakashi looked at each other again, and for a moment neither of them spoke to explain.

After a few seconds, Haneda said:

"Your parents loved you very much, but they died when you were born."

"In fact, I am the person your parents entrusted to you before they died, and so is he."

"Then why didn't you come to see me earlier, why?!"

Suddenly, Naruto ran away, crying as he ran.

Haneda and Kakashi were silent for a second before noticing Naruto running off.

Haneda hurriedly chased after him, and Kakashi wanted to chase after him as well, but Haneda told him to pack up the ramen.

The speed of a ninja is naturally not comparable to that of a child. Haneda caught up with Naruto in less than two seconds.

He explained:

"You were too young then, and I had important things to do."

"I thought that after Danzo died, the Sandaime would treat you well, but I didn't expect that you would still be called a demon fox."

"sorry."

When Naruto heard Haneda's apology, his pace unconsciously slowed down and finally stopped.

"You mean Grandpa Hokage?"

"He's always been very good to me."

Haneda said, "No, he is the Hokage, but he does not fulfill the duties of the Hokage."

"You are the son of a hero, the child of the Yondaime Hokage!"

"Your father's name is Minato Namikaze. He sacrificed himself to protect Konoha three years ago."

"Your mother's name is Uzumaki Kushina. She also died three years ago."

"You've always been a hero's son!"

Naruto didn't believe it and said:

"I do not believe!"

"Why do they think I'm disgusting even though I'm the son of a hero? They distance themselves from me and isolate me on purpose!"

"Why do they call me a demon fox? The demon fox that killed the Fourth Hokage. Why?!"

Haneda said: "The Sandaime deliberately concealed the truth, and old man Danzo deliberately spread the rumor that you are a demon fox."

"Those people don't know this, and they are also deceived."

Kakashi chased after them, carrying three packages of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Naruto, actually I..."

"Feel sorry."

"After your father's death, Iwagakure launched a war against Konoha. I was the commander-in-chief there, and I couldn't leave there."

Naruto heard the word war and asked:

"Many people will die in the war, and there will be many orphans like me, right?"

Kakashi nodded, and Naruto snatched a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen from Kakashi's hand, and smiled through his tears:

"Okay, for the sake of my favorite big bowl of miso chashu ramen, I forgive you."

Naruto looked up at Haneda, who now said:

"Whether you hate me or can't forgive me, I accept it."

"But one thing is that I am the one your father chose to entrust you to, and I must fulfill my obligation to raise you."

"Will they call me a demon fox again? Are they still willing to play with me?" Naruto asked seriously.

Haneda promised:

"Next, I will run for the Fifth Hokage."

"As the Hokage, I will announce to everyone in Konoha that you are the child of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. You will always be the son of a hero!"

Haneda paused, then said with a gentle smile:

"As for friends, it doesn't matter what others think of you."

"Those in my family will never discriminate against you."

"The two children in one of my brothers' family will not discriminate against you."

“You’ll make a lot of great friends.”

"You'll get rid of the loneliness you've been alone for all these years."

Haneda stretched out his right hand, Naruto hesitated for a moment, and then took Haneda's right hand.

Naruto held Haneda's hand and walked happily with a bright smile.

From today on, he is no longer the child that is disliked by others.

He will have many, many good friends.

Haneda and Kakashi looked at each other and smiled.
