Chapter 182 Father and Son Talk

The sunlight outside the window was very bright, proving that it was already the next morning.

The sunlight reflected on the wind chime, reflecting a dazzling light; judging from the texture alone, this was not an ordinary decoration.

Sasuke swallowed his saliva.

He wanted it to be real, but was afraid that it was just an ornament.

But after hesitating for a moment, Sasuke was ready to give it a try.

However, just as he was about to ring the bell.

"Bang!"

The door of the ward was pushed open rashly, and the silly-looking Naruto rushed in, followed by a teasing Sakura.

"Sasuke! Are you okay?"

Sakura threw herself at Sasuke like a fool, crying with tears in her eyes.

"Sasuke, what did you do yesterday? Which bad guy hurt you?"

Naruto also clenched his fist in indignation.

They only knew that Sasuke was injured and hospitalized, and they didn't know what happened specifically.

At the same time.

Kakashi was awakened and looked at Sasuke, who was fine, and Naruto and Sakura.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It turned out that he was just too tired and had a nightmare...

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, go away!"

Sasuke was quite happy about Naruto and Sakura's visit. They were his only friends in the village.

But could they not mess up at the critical moment?

Sasuke, who was bent on revenge, now just wanted to test the power of the wind chime to see if he was dreaming?

"That's enough!"

"Let Sasuke rest more, get out of here."

Kakashi picked up Naruto and Sakura and took them out of the ward together, ready to let Sasuke have a good rest.

"Kakashi!"

Sasuke called out to Teacher Kakashi.

"Huh?"

"Did that guy come here?"

"Did you see him?!!"

Kakashi was startled, and naturally knew that Sasuke was referring to Uchiha Itachi.

But didn't they say that Sasuke was unconscious throughout the whole process? How did they know that Itachi had come?

Did he quietly wake up in the middle?

"Sure enough, that bastard has been here!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger, his nails dug into his flesh and blood, showing his hatred for Itachi.

At the same time, he mistakenly took the illusion dream created by Xia You last night as reality.

"Don't think too much, take a good rest first."

"The village has also strengthened its vigilance and will not let them sneak in again."

Kakashi also knew that simple persuasion was useless for such blood feuds, so he could only tell Sasuke to take a good rest first.

Then he left the room and prepared to get some food for himself and Sasuke.

"Teacher Kakashi, what happened to Sasuke?"

"Nothing, this is not something you should worry about. Naruto, don't you have to train with Master Jiraiya today?"

"The lecherous sage said he was going to get materials outside the village, so let me rest today."

"Okay, then don't forget to practice. The current situation..."

"Situation?"

"Don't worry. Your performance last time was already very good..."

Kakashi comforted a few words and left.

Naruto looked at Sakura, who was still standing outside the ward and caring about Sasuke, and couldn't help feeling sour.

As expected, Sakura still likes handsome guys!

And he also lost the best opportunity because he had diarrhea last time because of eating expired food.

Then, Naruto thought of Sasuke's inexplicable injury, and his mood became even more depressed.

He could only leave the hospital alone.

…

After leaving the hospital, Naruto walked alone on the street.

He felt that he couldn't get motivated to do anything.

He wanted to have a bowl of ramen, but found that he had no money, so he had to give up.

As Naruto walked, he suddenly found a figure beside him.

"It's you!"

Naruto was overjoyed, looking at the masked yellow-haired ninja who suddenly appeared beside him, and an indescribable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

"Naruto..." Minato murmured, and he rarely didn't know how to start.

"You are the masked big brother who saved me that day, right?"

"It was me."

"Thank you! And you are really amazing! This is the first time I have seen such an amazing masked ninja like you..."

Naruto was quite excited and expressed his sincere gratitude to Minato.

"No need to thank me, it's all for protecting the village. And you are also very good, you can summon Gamabunta at this age..."

"You also know the big brother?"

"I know..."

"Big brother, who are you?"

Naruto was extremely curious, because Jiraiya teacher said that there should be no other ninjas who have contracted Myoboku Mountain, right?

Minato felt a pang in his heart and wanted to speak to recognize him, but he still forced himself to hold back.

"Sorry. I am an Anbu ninja and cannot reveal my identity at will..."

"Ah! So that's it, I shouldn't have asked." Naruto touched his head and blamed himself a little.

"It doesn't matter. By the way... is that girl just now someone you like?"

"Sakura? Ah! How did you know?"

Naruto was embarrassed, and his brain was still crashing.

"Why do you like her?"

"Ah this..."

Naruto was a little embarrassed, but for some reason, facing this yellow-haired big brother, he always had a sense of peace of mind to talk.

So he confessed: "She is beautiful! She has the forehead and hair color I like... Although she always hits me, I still like her..."

The corners of Minato's mouth under the mask rose slightly.

Is this kid really the same as himself? They both like broad foreheads and beautiful hair...

Speaking of which.

Sakura, that girl, is indeed similar to Kushina in many ways.

I can only say that my son's vision is really the same as mine?

"I see, but she doesn't seem to like you very much."

"I know..."

Naruto suddenly felt a little lonely. The passionate boy had infinite fantasies about the person he secretly loved, and this feeling of wanting but not getting was really hurtful.

"Do you want to give up?"

"No! I won't give up."

"Even if she doesn't like me now, she may not like me in the future."

"I, I will definitely become Hokage in the future! She will like me then!"

Naruto said firmly, and he was also cheering himself up.

"Aiming to be Hokage? That's a good goal! I believe you can do it!"

"Really? Are you willing to believe me? Except for Iruka-sensei, they all say I'm bragging, and they all reject me, saying that I can't become Hokage..."

"They all reject you?"

"Yes! They always say that I'm a demon fox, and I'm the culprit who killed everyone. I don't play with me much..."

"What about your parents?"

"I haven't seen them. I heard that they died when I was born."

"Don't you blame them?"

"I can't say I blame them. After all, they gave me life. It's just that sometimes I really envy other companions..."

Especially when everyone was called home by their parents to eat in childhood, Naruto could only stand alone in the open space, homeless.

It would be a lie to say that I don't envy or feel sad.

There are other children whose parents can always buy them all kinds of delicious food, but the coins in my pocket often can't even afford instant noodles. How can I not envy?

"I see... You, it seems that you had a hard time when you were a child!"

Minato hummed, and it was impossible to tell the sadness or joy in his tone.

"A little bit."

"But I'm used to it!"

Naruto responded carelessly. He never bears grudges, nor does he complain about the past.

He always has infinite expectations for the future and is full of optimism.

"Gurgle..."

Just then, Naruto's stomach growled, as if protesting.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little bit..."

"Didn't you have breakfast?"

"Uh...no money..."

"No money for breakfast? How could it be? It shouldn't be..."

Minato frowned slightly, smelling something wrong.

Not to mention his huge death pension, Kushina's inheritance alone is an astronomical figure!

Any Uzumaki Sealing Technique can be sold at a sky-high price.

There is also a big house left by his family, as well as a large amount of savings...

How could Naruto have no money?

"The village has a subsidy every month, and the third-generation grandfather often helps me. But it's barely enough to eat, and I spend it from time to time..."

Due to the long-term hostility of the villagers, Naruto was quite rebellious when he was a child.

The limited subsidies would be used to buy paint to graffiti the Hokage Rock to express protest.

But in the end, it was because no one cared and because they were too poor.

As a result, Naruto was hungry most of the time;

When Naruto was hungry, he would run outside the village to go fishing, pick fruits, pick mushrooms to make soup... It was a common thing.

Although he didn't know which mushrooms were poisonous, and sometimes he would eat poisonous mushrooms.

But for him, being able to fill his stomach was the happiest thing.

Naruto confided in detail.

It seemed that he wanted to confide all the grievances and past in his heart. He had never told others about these childhood bitterness, but at this moment he wanted to confide very much.

Minato had been listening and accompanying silently.

He didn't speak or interrupt.

But the terrifying and majestic chakra was condensing and soaring at a rapid speed, as if to break through the shackles of the flesh, and it also indicated that someone was going to be unlucky!
