Chapter 614 Comfort
Children's hearts are the most sensitive, and the biggest blow to Naruto was the change of his classmates in the ninja school. It was like he fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, and he felt even more uncomfortable than when he was despised when he was the tail of a crane.
Ninja school was originally his last safe haven. Being laughed at at the ninja school was infinitely better than being feared and resented by the villagers of Konoha, because even if the children had a bad attitude, they did not harbor any real malice.
But now, the students looked at him no differently than the villagers, treating him as a disaster and a monster.
This was what made him despair the most. Naruto didn't know how to change everyone's opinions. Living alone in Konoha without a single partner, he might as well die.
Only when you have gained it can you understand the pain of losing it better.
Yesterday he was a very popular little hero of Konoha among his classmates. He received flowers from Ino and love lunches from Sakura every day, but today he ended up like this. The psychological gap was really huge.
The higher I am held up, the harder I fall. I miss the glory of the past, but also long for everyone's recognition again.
Naruto was in incomparable torment, confused and desperate, almost feeling suffocated. He shrunk his body and hugged his knees. No one was willing to give him a warm hug. He could only hug himself tightly and try to survive the cold night wind. Find some warmth.
His tears could no longer be held back, and they overflowed, sliding down his cheeks and soaking the rocks under his feet.
…
Naruto was secretly feeling sad when he heard the sound of jets of air coming from below the Hokage Rock. He quickly raised his head buried between his knees and followed the sound. He saw a round golden flying armor flying slowly from below. Arrive above the Hokage Rock and slowly descend.
The helmet visor of the golden armor was lifted up, revealing the fat face of President Bredreau, with a look of concern on that blessed-looking face.
"I finally found you, Naruto."
As if he was relieved, the fat president said breathlessly: "You have made me worry for a long time!"
Luo Feng was really worried. After Naruto got into trouble, he got a heavy beating from his classmates. He was traumatized both physically and mentally and ran away in tears. He didn't know where he went.
At that time, Luo Feng was busy directing the rescue operation and did not bother to look for him. When everything was finished and the affected villagers were settled, they asked around, but no one knew where Naruto was hiding, which made him anxious.
After all, Naruto is one of the protagonists of the plot, and he carries 50% of the main god's alertness on his body. If something happens to him while running around, the team of investigators who tricked him will definitely be blamed, and his alertness will suddenly increase to over 70%. , the mission failed immediately, and it was questionable whether he could escape from this plot world.
Naruto was at his most sensitive and hurt when he saw that President Bradero's concern and anxiety were not fake. He didn't expect that no one in the entire Konoha Village would pay attention to him, but a fat foreign uncle showed his true feelings so much. I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Then I thought about all the good deeds that President Bredlow had done in the past: that night, he tutored the two of them in talking and laughing, forgave him magnanimously, put in good words for him to establish the image of a little hero, took over the responsibility for his troubles and bombarded Konoha, and persuaded everyone to exempt him from the crime. Responsibility, rescue the destroyed Konoha Village and deal with the aftermath for him...
Now, after a busy day, I was still looking around because I was worried about him.
Pursing his lips, Naruto quickly wiped away his tears, lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, fat uncle, I got into trouble again. Also, I shouldn't lose my temper with you and call you a liar..."
Luo Feng smiled warmly, and when the Iron Man armor stopped, he patted his chest and the armor cracked, and he stepped out.
"It's so high, the wind is so strong, it's really dangerous!"
As soon as he left the Iron Man armor, the fat businessman shivered in the cold night wind. He glanced at the height and was so scared that his legs were a little weak. He groped over shakily and sat down next to Naruto.
His timid and scared look, but he insisted on coming to accompany him, made Naruto feel strange, and he felt that although the fat uncle was not strong and not cool at all, he was a kind and considerate person.
"It's really painful to be alone, right?"
After sitting upright, President Bradero looked at the leaf village with thousands of lights lit up under the Hokage Rock, and suddenly said: "I don't know why... I understand how you feel..."
"Does Uncle Fatty feel lonely too?"
Naruto was attracted by his words and asked curiously: "Uncle, aren't you a big shot? Many people surround you and respect you. How could it be possible..."
"Sometimes it happens..."
Bradlow smiled at Naruto, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, and didn't say much, but Naruto felt that this fat uncle really seemed to understand the pain of loneliness and could understand the deep chill.
"Hey, Naruto, don't blame yourself too much. I told you before that this is not your responsibility."
Luo Feng patted the yellow-haired boy on the shoulder and said: "It's all my negligence. I opened the public tour but didn't turn on the safety device of the console... You don't have to worry, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for the damage caused to the Konoha Village." It will be rebuilt soon and everyone will be fine."
"But……"
Naruto said aggrievedly: "Everyone thinks it's my fault. Even my classmates in the ninja school don't believe me. I became a ninja without companions... Ninja, if there are no companions to protect, what's the point of existence?" ?”
"well……"
Luo Feng sighed and made a very embarrassed expression: "This is not easy to handle. Uncle, I tried my best to explain it to you, but the villagers refused to listen to me. Naruto, you don't have the same nature. Damn, why do I feel like the villagers are prejudiced against you?"
"how could I know!"
Naruto curled his lips and said, "They said I was a nine-tailed demon fox, and that my birth brought disaster to the village, but I obviously didn't do anything!"
At this point, he suddenly froze and lowered his head: "Now, they must be more sure that I am a monster... I used to be blamed for not doing anything. Now that the village has become like this, they must think that this is a monster." The disaster is all my fault!”
"poor child."
Luo Feng's face was full of sympathy, he patted his back to comfort him, and shook his head helplessly: "This is the evil result of ignorance and superstition. If you don't study hard, you will not understand the truth. When I was helping the poor in the past, I worked in some backward countries. In remote and impoverished villages, we often encounter ignorant and blindly obedient people. I never expected that Konoha Village would be like this."
The more Naruto thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He lowered his head and remained silent. All he could hear on the Hokage Rock was the fierce whistling of the mountain mist.
"Hey, Naruto, what is your ideal?"
Luo Feng broke the silence and asked suddenly.
"I……"
Naruto seemed to lack confidence and did not speak as blindly and confidently as before. He hesitated for a while before saying: "I want to be Hokage, and even want to surpass Hokage, because Naruto is a great person in Konoha, and all the villagers respect him and identify with him." ...I want to gain everyone's recognition, prove myself, and prove that I am not a disaster in their eyes. I want to become the most powerful ninja and protect the village..."
"Become the most powerful ninja and protect the village..."
Luo Fengpin followed his words and suddenly asked: "It's really strange. Why can the most powerful ninja be recognized in the ninja world?"
Naruto said in confusion: "Huh? What's weird about this? Grandpa Sandaime is the most powerful ninja in Konoha, and everyone respects him!"
Luo Feng smiled and said: "Somewhere I have been, the more powerful people are, the more powerful they are, they are feared by everyone and are treated as monsters. People are always afraid that such people will lose control and cause catastrophe."
With that said, Luo Feng pointed at Naruto and continued: "Isn't it because you are hated by the villagers because they think you are the incarnation of the nine-tailed demon fox? Isn't the nine-tailed demon fox powerful? The villagers did not recognize you, but rejected you. I'm afraid of you, why is that?"
Naruto was stunned. He wanted to become stronger. He thought that only by becoming stronger would he be able to protect the village, prove himself, and no longer be a loser. For this reason, in the original plot, he would steal seals under Mizuki's bewitchment. Scroll, secretly learn forbidden techniques.
Chairman Bredlow's question actually stopped him. If he is strong, he will be respected and recognized by everyone. Then why is he, who is regarded by the villagers as the nine-tailed demon fox, and is clearly the most powerful person in Konoha, still being respected? What about the cold looks from the villagers?
