Chapter 24 Naruto
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets again:
"Hey, crybaby, why are you in such a mess?
Naruto put away the sad look on his face:
"Humph, brat, where have you been recently? I didn't see you at the lake."
Sasuke and Naruto have known each other since childhood. Sasuke often practices fire escape by the lake, but Naruto hasn't seen Sasuke recently.
There have been many bad rumors about Uchiha recently.
For children, the rumors above are usually about picking up bad ones.
No matter in which world, this kind of brat has a virtue.
"My father sent me out for a trip. I was locked in the house every day and was bored to death."
Sasuke explained casually.
Naruto asked cautiously:
"Sasuke, is there something going on at home?"
Sasuke wanted to get angry, but seeing Naruto's cautious look, he just snorted coolly:
"It's nothing, I, Uchiha, am very good!"
For Naruto, he has been bullied since he was a child. He envies Sasuke very much because his relatives are around him.
And he was just an orphan without a father or a mother. Only his grandfather, the Third Hokage, came to see him occasionally.
He didn't understand many things, and he didn't know why those people called him the demon fox.
He doesn't know why those people don't be friends with him.
But Sasuke, Hinata, and Shikamaru have never bullied him, and they are people he can get close to.
He was worried that something would happen to his friend's family and he would become an unwanted orphan like him.
While Naruto and Sasuke were communicating, several Anbu were standing on the treetops nearby.
They were all arranged by the Hokage to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki twenty-four hours a day.
What Naruto did, what he ate, and what he said every day must be recorded and reported to the third generation.
Sasuke and Naruto knew each other before, but the Uchiha at that time was different from now.
So when Sasuke came into contact with Naruto, there was already an ANBU reporting to the Hokage.
While Naruto was under surveillance, there was another person standing on the tree next to him, and that was Natsuki Uchiha.
He was asked by Fugaku to accept Sasuke as his disciple, but he wanted to see him first.
What is it like for Sasuke who has not experienced the night of genocide yet?
Judging from the fight just now, Uchiha Sasuke is a kind-hearted kid with a bit of arrogance.
Sasuke received an elite education at home, and now he practices shuriken at home, and he even knows fire escape.
But he just used physical skills to beat away a few children.
He would comfort Naruto later.
Natsuki looked at it for a long time, stroking his chin and thinking. It seemed that he had some prejudices against Sasuke in the past.
After Sasuke's family was exterminated and his property was occupied by Konoha, no one taught him, and he didn't seem to blame him for growing crookedly.
Little Sasuke, who had not experienced genocide, was still a cute child.
Well, it's not too late.
Natsuki jumped directly from the tree, and both Sasuke and Naruto were shocked.
"Sasuke, do you know me?" Then he showed his Sharingan.
Sasuke was a little wary at first and blocked Naruto behind him, but then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Natsuki's Sharingan.
Those who have the Sharingan are the clan members.
"I am Xia Mu, you have met me." Xia Mu smiled.
When Sasuke looked at Natsuki, his appearance gradually resembled that of the former Uchiha Natsuki.
No wonder he couldn't remember clearly, because Natsuki himself had met Sasuke a few times before.
"Ah! You are Natsuki-senpai!..." Sasuke suddenly recognized Natsuki.
Then he said with some hesitation: "I heard that Senior Xiamu... you are the deputy clan leader now?"
Xia Mu doesn't have the habit of showing off. In the clan, keeping a straight face requires dignity.
There was no need in front of Sasuke, he said angrily:
"For those who are not deputy chiefs, just call me senior."
Sasuke said happily: "Yes, Natsuki-senpai."
Xia Mu looked up and then asked:
"Didn't I tell you to go home immediately after returning to the village? What are you doing here?"
"Uh...ah...I..." Sasuke heard many rumors just after entering the village.
So I came here feeling depressed.
"Don't leave me alone. You're hungry. I'll take you to eat." Natsuki rubbed Sasuke's head.
"Okay." Sasuke felt a little uncomfortable, but couldn't avoid Natsuki's hand.
Naruto stood nearby, with envy and sadness in his eyes.
"Then Sasuke, I'm going home for dinner too!" Naruto tried to cheer up, not wanting Sasuke to see his sadness.
There should be a box of instant noodles at home.
"Wait a moment."
Xia Mu showed a kind smile:
"You are Sasuke's friend."
Naruto sniffed:
"Yes, uncle! My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I am the man who will be the Hokage in the future."
"Uncle!?"
Natsuki was really dumbfounded. His body was the same age as Kakashi.
In a world where you go to war in your teens and get married, it is normal to be called uncle when you are almost 20 years old, but Natsuki doesn't like it.
Ignoring the second half of Naruto's sentence, he had already quietly looked at Naruto just now. He was wearing rags and had a pretty face.
That is to say, the Uzumaki clan has a strong physique, otherwise Naruto would be hungry for a long time and drink expired milk.
Even if you're not dead, you're definitely going to be sick.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is really nothing.
I cursed in my mind.
Natsuki smiled and said, "Since you are Sasuke's friend, can I treat you to ramen?"
"Oh! Really, uncle!" Naruto was full of surprises. Normally, the money given to him by his third generation grandfather was not much.
It would take him a long time to eat ramen.
When Natsuki saw Naruto's happy look, she severely spurned the Third Hokage in her heart.
"Of course it's true, but I don't like you calling me uncle. You can call me Natsuki-senpai."
Natsuki knelt down and rubbed Naruto's head.
"Oh! Okay Natsuki-senpai!"
Naruto has been subjected to all kinds of glares since he was a child, and he is vaguely aware of who is sincere to him.
He is really happy now, having an adult who doesn't dislike him.
"Let's go, Sasuke. Let's go get something to eat first." Natsuki waved to Sasuke, who had his hands in his pockets to look cool.
"Hmph, that's really troublesome." He said arrogantly, but Sasuke looked at Naruto's happy face and didn't say anything to refuse him.
Natsuki raised his head and took a look, then led the two of them out of the woods.
The ANBU standing on the tree looked at each other.
Uchiha Natsuki, this is a famous person, now the deputy chief of the Uchiha clan.
The entire Hokage system that was created before was in disgrace.
Now he actually came close to the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.
"Report to Hokage-sama immediately!"
"yes!"
…
Ichiraku Ramen House.
The curtain opened and Natsuki came in with Sasuke and Naruto.
There were no other customers in the store, just hand-made and calamus.
"Uncle Yile! I'm here again!"
Naruto yelled as soon as he walked in. Sasuke turned his face away in embarrassment, pretending not to recognize Naruto.
Uncle Yile looked kind and said with a smile:
"Naruto, you're here. What do you want to eat today?"
"Big..." Under Natsuki's glare, Naruto swallowed back the word uncle.
"Natsuki-senpai, can I have tonkotsu ramen if I want to eat it?"
Naruto asked sheepishly.
Natsuki was already studying the menu at this time, and Natsuki ran his fingers across the menu.
He said, "Forget about the tonkotsu ramen."
"Isn't it possible?" Naruto lowered his head in disappointment.
"Give Naruto a grand slam." Natsuki ordered the most expensive item of ramen.
Except for ramen.
A variety of steaks, chicken, eggs, barbecued pork, etc. can be added on top, making it the most luxurious ramen set.
"Oh! Long live Natsuki-senpai!" Naruto has never had a grand slam.
The best thing he had ever eaten before was tonkotsu ramen.
Natsuki looked at Naruto, whose face was filled with happiness because of the little food, and shook his head.
"Bring me a tonkotsu ramen, Sasuke, you can order whatever you want..."
At this time, Natsuki felt a wave of chakra sweep over his head.
Xia Mu didn't raise his head. Was it the third generation's telescope technique?
Hehe, you were not there when you were taking care of Naruto, and when someone approached Naruto, you ran faster than anyone else.
