Konoha Nano Core

Chapter 10
"Ino!"

Zuo Mufeng gave a low snort, put away the smile on his face when he heard Ino's words, and said in a calm voice: "Never just listen to other people's words and regard it as true. We don't know anything about anything without seeing it with our own eyes. Basic skepticism should be maintained."

After saying that, he paused, and looked at Ino with a serious expression.

"Others said he was a monster, but I didn't see him turn into a monster with my own eyes. Instead, I saw with my own eyes that he went to help the children of the Hinata family with the consciousness of being beaten."

"During the fight, he also said that no one could attack my back when he was down. He paid the price of his nose and face and succeeded in doing what he promised me. Since then, he has been recognized by me. friend."

Looking at Zuo Mufeng who was looking at her with serious eyes, Ino pouted, a little unhappy, in her mind, she was obviously worried about him, but he was angry with herself instead.

But in the end, he bowed to Naruto with some grievances, and said: "Okay, I just said something wrong, sorry, I shouldn't say you are a monster!"

"No...it's okay!" The excited Naruto couldn't even speak clearly, looking at Ino who bent over to apologize, he didn't even know where to put his hands.

"Ha..." Looking at the nervous Naruto, Ino, who lowered his head and apologized, let out a chuckle, sized up the nervous Naruto and said, "You don't look like a monster no matter what, or what Feng said is right, it's them It's really abominable to spread it indiscriminately!"

As he spoke, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Seeing Naruto who was so excited that he was speechless, Zuo Mufeng smiled gently on his handsome face and said, "Okay, Naruto, you've been standing outside for so long and you're freezing to the bone, and I just came back You haven't eaten yet, so I'll let you taste my cooking!" Then, he turned his head and asked Ino: "Ino, are you going home or come to my place to eat."

"Hmm!" Ino said with a bitter face: "I ran out for a day today, and my father found out when I sneaked out in the morning. If it wasn't for tomorrow or my birthday, I might have to be locked up. I dare not go back too late."

"Alright then! Go back early, I'll look for you tomorrow!" Zuo Mufeng nodded and said.

"En! Come on time at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon! And Naruto, tomorrow you too!" Ino, who ran to the entrance of his flower shop, shouted with a smile.

"Me too... can I too!" Naruto asked, who was dazed by what happened today, pointing at himself.

"Of course, if you are Feng's friend, you are my friend! Of course I welcome you!" Ino nodded with certainty.

Looking at Ino who opened the door and walked in, Naruto's mouth was trembling with excitement, and he kept talking, listening carefully, he could hear something like I finally have friends.

"Let's go! It's too cold now, I don't want to catch a cold tomorrow!"

As he spoke, he dragged Naruto, who was too happy to speak, into the shop.

"call…"

Feeling the warmth in the room, Zuo Mufeng let out a long breath, took off his coat and put it on the counter.

Turning around, he looked at Naruto who was looking at the wooden carvings in the house with amazed eyes, and said with a smile, "I carved these wooden carvings in my spare time. How about them, these wooden carvings of mine are pretty good!"

"You are amazing! Feng!" Hearing that Zuo Mufeng carved it himself, Naruto opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"It's pretty good! I think so too! You watch first, I'll clean up the house and cook." He accepted the compliment unceremoniously, moved his body a little, and walked towards the back room of the shop.

"Yeah!" Naruto, who was stunned by the exquisite wood carving in front of him, nodded.

Walking into the back room, looking at the mess on the table, he frowned.

"Really, if I knew it earlier, I would have packed the house and gone out!"

Sighing, he threw the bowls and chopsticks on the table into the cauldron on the ground, and carried it to the kitchen.

..............................

The night was bright, endless stars were shining in the night sky, the lights in the office of the Konoha Hokage Building were not extinguished, and the third Hokage sitting on the chair looked relieved at the image displayed in the crystal ball on the table.

"Minato, your child has made friends now! He will get better and better!"

After flicking the ash in the pipe, he picked up a document on the desk and looked again.

If Zuo Mufeng can be surprised to find here, all the big and small events he has experienced since birth are recorded in the document, and his character is even more strictly analyzed.

"Loves to help others, has a cheerful and generous personality, and has some relationship with the daimyo and nobles of the Fire Kingdom through the craft of carving. Yes, he is another child who inherits the will of fire!"

Third Hokage, with a pipe in his mouth, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and tapped on the table lightly, making a boom... boom... sound.

"Whoosh..."

A rapid sound of breaking the air resounded in the room, and a figure suddenly appeared in Hokage's office.

"In the future, Zuo Mufeng doesn't need to stop him from contacting Naruto, and he doesn't need to report anything special, just make a record."

Sandai Hokage sat on the chair and watched the half-kneeling figure appear and said.

"Yes! Hokage-sama."

The figure below responded immediately after hearing Hokage's words, and when the third Hokage signaled that he could go out, he swished again and disappeared in place.

Looking at Naruto's figure in the crystal ball, Sandai Hokage sighed and whispered to himself, "Minato..."

...............................

"You are amazing! Feng! Do you usually cook by yourself? What about your family?" Naruto, who had rushed to the kitchen at some point, exclaimed, looking at Zuo Mufeng who was busy in the kitchen.

Hearing Naruto's question, Zuo Mufeng smiled and said calmly: "I am an orphan, I lived in an orphanage as long as I can remember, and when I was five years old, I got the inheritance left by my parents. I just opened a woodcarving shop here. After all, I live by myself, well! I’ve gotten used to it!" As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Naruto and asked, "What about you? How are you usually? Why do people say you are a monster? "

When Naruto heard Zuo Mufeng say that he was also an orphan, his expression fluctuated a bit, but when he heard the question, he said in a low voice: "I don't know why they say I'm a monster, but..." Naruto regained his spirit Man Man shouted: "As long as I become Hokage, everyone will definitely agree with me!"

"Oh! Is your dream to become Hokage and gain everyone's approval?" Zuo Mufeng asked, holding a spoon and tossing the food in the pot.

"En! Grandpa Hokage said that becoming Hokage requires everyone's approval, so as long as I become Hokage, everyone will definitely agree with me!" Naruto said expectantly.

"Then I wish your dreams come true, oh, the meal is ready!" Zuo Mufeng turned his head and said blessing words, smelling the fragrance from the pot.
