Chapter 24 Naruto

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets again:

"Hey, crybaby, why are you so embarrassed?

Naruto put away the sad look on his face:

"Huh, arrogant boy, where have you been recently? I didn't see you by 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 are many bad rumors about Uchiha recently.

For children, rumors are usually bad.

No matter which world, this kind of kid is the same.

"My father sent me out for a trip, and I was locked in the house every day. I was so annoyed."

Sasuke explained casually.

Naruto asked cautiously:

"Sasuke, is there something wrong with your family?"

Sasuke wanted to get angry, but seeing Naruto's cautious look, he just snorted coolly:

"Nothing, I'm a Uchiha! ”

For Naruto, he has been bullied since he was a child. He envied Sasuke very much because his family was around him.

And he was just an orphan without a father or a mother, with only a grandfather, the Third Hokage, who occasionally came to see him.

He didn't understand many things, and didn't know why those people called him a demon fox.

He didn't know why those people didn't make friends with him.

But Sasuke, Hinata, Shikamaru and others had never bullied him, and they were people he could get close to.

He was very worried that something would happen to his friends' families and they would become orphans like him who were unwanted by everyone.

And just as Naruto was communicating with Sasuke, several Anbu were standing on the treetops next to them.

They were all arranged by the Hokage to monitor the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki 24 hours a day.

What Naruto did, ate, and said every day had to be recorded and reported to the Third Hokage.

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, the Anbu already had an Anbu went to report to the Hokage.

While Naruto was under surveillance, there was a man standing on the tree next to him, that was Uchiha Natsuki.

He was asked by Fugaku to accept Sasuke as his disciple, but he wanted to take a look first.

What does Sasuke look like now, who has not experienced the night of genocide.

From the fight just now, Uchiha Sasuke is just a kind-hearted child with a little arrogance.

Sasuke received an elite education at home. Now he practices shuriken at home, and he even knows fire escape.

But he just used physical skills to beat several children away.

He would comfort Naruto afterwards.

Natsuki looked for a long time, stroking his chin and thinking. It seems that he had some prejudice against Sasuke before.

After Sasuke's family was exterminated, his property was occupied by Konoha. No one taught him, and it seemed that it was not his fault that he grew up crooked.

Little Sasuke who has not experienced genocide is still a cute child.

Well, it's not too late now.

Natsuki jumped directly from the tree, and 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. Later, he saw Xia Mu's Sharingan and breathed a sigh of relief.

Those with Sharingan are clan members.

"I am Xia Mu, you have seen me." Xia Mu smiled.

Sasuke looked at Xia Mu's appearance and gradually overlapped with the former Uchiha Xia Mu.

It's no wonder that he couldn't remember clearly, because Xia Mu's original body had only seen Sasuke a few times before.

"Ah! You are Senior Xia Mu! ..." Sasuke suddenly recognized Xia Mu.

Then he said hesitantly: "I heard that Senior Xia Mu... is now the deputy clan leader?"

Xia Mu didn't have the habit of showing off. He needed to be dignified in the clan with a stern face.

There was no need in front of Sasuke. He said unhappily:

"What deputy clan leader or not, just call me senior."

Sasuke said happily: "Yes, Senior Xia Mu. ”

Xia Mu looked up and asked:

"Didn't I tell you to go home as soon as you return to the village? What are you doing here?"

"Uh...ah...I..." Sasuke heard a lot of rumors as soon as he entered the village.

So he came here in a depressed mood.

"Don't talk about me, you must be hungry, I'll take you to eat." Xia Mu rubbed Sasuke's head.

"Okay." Sasuke felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't avoid Xia Mu's hand.

Naruto stood by, with envy and sadness in his eyes.

"Then Sasuke, I'm going home to eat too!" Naruto tried hard to cheer up, not wanting Sasuke to see his sadness.

There should be a box of instant noodles at home.

"Wait a minute."

Xia Mu showed a kind smile:

"You are Sasuke's friend."

Naruto sniffed:

"Yes, uncle! My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I'm the man who will be Hokage in the future."

"Uncle! ? "

Natsuki was a little amused, his body was the same age as Kakashi.

In a world where people go to the battlefield and get married in their teens, 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 just secretly sized up Naruto, who was dressed in rags and had a pale face.

It was because the Uzumaki clan had a strong physique, otherwise Naruto would have been hungry and full for a long time and drank expired milk.

If he didn't die, he would definitely get sick.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is really a piece of shit.

He cursed in his heart.

Xia Mu smiled and said, "Since you are Sasuke's friend, how about I treat you to ramen?"

"Oh! Really, uncle?" Naruto was full of surprise. The money given to him by the third generation grandfather was not too much.

It took him a long time to eat ramen.

Seeing Naruto's happy look, Xia Mu spitted at the third generation Hokage in his heart.

"Of course it's true, but I don't like you to call me uncle, you can call me Xia Mu Senior."

Xia Mu squatted down and rubbed Naruto's head.

"Oh! Okay Xia Mu Senior!"

Naruto has been looked down upon since he was a child, and he has a vague sense of who is sincere to him.

He is really happy now that there is an adult who does not despise him.

"Let's go, Sasuke. Let's eat something first." Xia Mu waved to Sasuke who was standing next to him with his hands in his pockets to act cool.

"Huh, what a hassle." He said arrogantly, but Sasuke looked at Naruto's happy look and did not say anything to refuse.

Xia Mu raised his head and took a look, then walked out of the woods with the two of them.

The Anbu standing on the tree looked at each other in bewilderment.

Uchiha Natsuki, this is a famous person, now the deputy head of the Uchiha clan.

He made the entire Hokage system look bad before.

Now he is approaching the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

"Report to the Hokage immediately!"

"Yes!"

...

Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.

The curtain was opened, and Natsuki brought Sasuke and Naruto in.

There were no other customers in the store, only Shouda and Ayame.

"Uncle Ichiraku! I'm here again!"

Naruto shouted as soon as he entered the door. Sasuke turned his face away embarrassedly, pretending that he didn't know Naruto.

Uncle Ichiraku looked kind and said with a smile:

"Naruto, you are here, what do you want to eat today?"

"Big..." Under Natsuki's glare, Naruto swallowed the word uncle back.

"Senior Natsuki, I want to eat tonkotsu ramen, is that okay?"

Naruto asked a little embarrassedly.

Xia Mu was already studying the menu at this time, and Xia Mu's finger ran across the menu.

He said, "Forget about the pork bone ramen."

"Is it not possible?" Naruto lowered his head in disappointment.

"Give Naruto a grand slam." Xia Mu ordered the most expensive item in the ramen.

In addition to ramen.

It will also be topped with various steaks, chicken, eggs, barbecued pork, etc., which can be added. It is the most luxurious ramen set.

"Oh! Long live Xia Mu Senior!" Naruto has never eaten a grand slam.

The best he had eaten before was pork bone ramen.

Xia Mu shook his head at Naruto, who was full of happiness because of eating a little bit.

"Give me a pork bone ramen, Sasuke, you can order whatever you want..."

At this time, Xia Mu felt a chakra sweeping over his head.

Xia Mu did not look up, the telescope technique of the third generation?

Ha, you were not there when taking care of Naruto, and you ran faster than anyone when someone approached Naruto.
