Chapter 1640 Uzumaki Naruto at the School Gate
Chapter 1438 Uzumaki Naruto at the school gate
The yellow-haired child sat on the swing, looking at the many children holding their parents' hands with longing on his face, his eyes full of envy.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" Hyuga Neji glanced at the slightly dirty, yellow-haired child.
His features made it easy for Hyuga Neji to recognize him.
After all, there are not many children who grow strange beards on their faces at such a young age, looking like an animal. There are not many children who are born to make people feel strange.
"Who is that? Is he also our classmate?" Tiantian looked in the direction of Hyuga Neji and saw Uzumaki Naruto alone on the swing under the big tree. He looked so pitiful that he felt like he was about to cry.
"It's a demon fox." Tiantian's father looked a little unnatural.
He did not discriminate against Uzumaki Naruto.
Tiantian's father runs a weapons store, and Uzumaki Naruto has never come into contact with him. The name of the demon fox was still learned from other vegetable sellers when he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
When the Nine-Tailed Fox ravaged Konoha Village, many people lost their lives. This sadness was hidden in their hearts. I don’t know who saw Uzumaki Naruto’s beard, which looked like a fox, and the villagers called him a demon fox and hated him.
But in fact, even many villagers didn’t know where it came from. They just knew that anyone who was infected with a demon fox might be caught by some ninjas for inspection. The villagers naturally didn’t want to get into trouble, and they didn’t want their children to play with demon foxes. Naturally, Uzumaki Naruto became discriminated against by everyone and considered to be the incarnation of misfortune.
“Demon fox?” Tiantian asked a question, “Why is he called a demon fox?”
This question stumped Tiantian’s father.
“Dad doesn’t know either, but many children’s families don’t allow their children to play with him, thinking that he will bring misfortune.” Tiantian’s father didn’t know the details either.
He guessed that it was probably to graft the hatred of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the real murderer who ravaged Konoha Village and caused the deaths of many villagers, onto a child.
But in fact, it’s a bit nonsense.
Uzumaki Naruto actually appeared in front of the villagers when he was about three years old. Three years have passed, and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has had a much smaller impact on Konoha Village. Although he was sad that his relatives died in the destruction of Konoha Village by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, no matter what, he would not implicate a child and openly call a child who looks a little strange the Nine-Tailed.
What conspiracy is behind this, Hyuga Neji does not think it is surprising.
At this time, Uzumaki Naruto noticed Hyuga Neji and Tenten, and Tenten's father looked at him. Uzumaki Naruto's eyes lit up, and the kind of eyes that longed to escape from loneliness met Hyuga Neji's eyes.
"Ah..." Hyuga Neji's appearance also shocked Uzumaki Naruto. If Hyuga Neji had not appeared in the strong sunlight during the day, with Hyuga Neji's white glowing skin, skull face, dark dark circles, and blood vessels all over the white eyeballs, anyone would think that he had seen a ghost if he stood in the corner of the alley at night.
Uzumaki Naruto felt creepy when being stared at by Hyuga Neji.
"·····Hee." Uzumaki Naruto swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, his forehead was a little sweaty, and his right hand scratched the back of his head. He felt numb in his heart, and couldn't help but trembling his mouth corners, grinning at Hyuga Neji, showing his big white teeth.
Silly look.
"The orphan of a martyr would be treated like this, this world is really twisted." Hyuga Neji looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a faint face, and said in his heart.
There are many ways to treat Uzumaki Naruto.
Cover up the identity of Jinchūriki and let him make friends and grow up safely.
Find a pair of adoptive parents for Uzumaki Naruto, so that he can grow up with his parents.
Or, tell everyone that Uzumaki Naruto is the orphan of a martyr, so that he can grow up with pride and responsibility.
These methods are not bad, especially since Konoha Village has always been in the most fertile land and the strongest ninja village.
But this strongest ninja village always makes the most cowardly choices.
Whether it is forcing Hatake Sakumo to death, the three ninjas running away, handing over Hyuga Hizashi's body to Kumogakure, or the current treatment of the orphans of martyrs, it makes people feel incomprehensible.
Hyuga Neji understands that these seemingly incomprehensible things are all political games in Konoha Village, and he can understand their operations.
But even if he can see it clearly, it does not prevent Hyuga Neji from despising the people in charge of Konoha Village.
Whether it is the death of Hyuga Hizashi or the treatment of the orphans of martyrs, Konoha Ninja Village has chosen a method that Hyuga Neji does not like.
Haier has been to many worlds, but none of them is as strange and outrageous as this world. The treatment of the orphans of the martyrs is to make ordinary villagers hate, insult, and isolate a five-year-old child for several years.
The most amazing thing is... As the top leader of a village, he did not stop it.
Or as the top leader of a village, he has stopped it, stopped ordinary villagers from physically harming Uzumaki Naruto, and thought that this is enough.
This world is a bit twisted.
"Let's go." Hyuga Neji retracted his eyes and walked towards the gate of the ninja school with Tiantian and Tiantian's father.
Uzumaki Naruto's smile that showed his big white teeth suddenly sank, watching Hyuga Neji and others walk towards the ninja school.
Although Hyuga Neji looks like a ghost and is scary at night, if this ghost-like guy makes friends with him, Uzumaki Naruto will definitely make friends with him.
Especially when he saw Hyuga Neji and several others walking together, he couldn't help but envy him.
Even the guy who looks like a ghost has friends...
Ten-Ten's father breathed a sigh of relief.
If it is not necessary, he doesn't want Ten-Ten to make friends with a demon fox.
Although Ten-Ten's father is not a high-ranking official in Konoha, he has been dealing with ninjas, and he has sensed some rumors to some extent, and he is not very supportive of Ten-Ten making friends with a demon fox.
In Konoha, the most difficult people are people like Ten-Ten's father.
Neither up nor down, like Uzumaki Naruto, the news of why he is a demon fox is unknown, and the ninjas also look like they can't say it, and they are very secretive, which makes Ten-Ten's father more vigilant.
Let alone making friends with a demon fox, Ten-Ten's father is now so annoyed about how to get his daughter away from Hyuga Neji.
Worried.
"Bye, Daddy." Tenten waved her little hand and said goodbye to her father who was barely smiling, then pulled Hyuga Neji towards the A-class classroom.
There were already many noisy children in the A-class classroom.
When Hyuga Neji entered the classroom from the door, he was treated the same as Uzumaki Naruto, being discriminated against with strange eyes, isolated, and talked about in a low voice.
