Konoha's Immortal Disciple

Chapter 9 Naruto's Neighbor

After hearing this, Hoshino Shu thought to himself: "Are they talking about Prince Ming?"

He understood the intentions of the Three Hokages very well, because it has only been more than three years since the Nine-Tails invasion, and the villagers who suffered the Nine-Tails' injuries still have lingering resentment.

He didn't have much affection for Naruto who was Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, instead he vented his anger on Naruto and regarded him as the incarnation of a demon fox.

This is doomed that Naruto's childhood was not a relaxed and happy childhood.

"If you have time, let's go back to Konoha, Jiraiya, even if you often come to see me, a bad old man." Hiruza Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya.

"Teacher, I want to go see Naruto first." Jiraiya touched his head and put on a naive smile, changing the subject.

"Hmph, go ahead, I'll ask someone to vacate a room near Naruto's residence, and I can let this child live in it tomorrow." Hiruzen Sarutobi scratched Hoshinoki's nose.

"What's your name, kid?"

"My name is Hoshino Shu."

……

Hoshino Shu and Jiraiya came near Naruto's residence. Naruto lived on the top floor. At this time, he was only three years old standing on a chair, with his hands lying on the railing and staring blankly at the street.

Ji Lai also patted Hoshino Shu: "Go and say hello to him." Then he quietly found a place that was not easy to be found and observed from a distance.

Hoshino climbed up to the top floor and greeted Naruto loudly: "Hi!"

Naruto heard someone calling him, and looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, only to see a child who looked slightly older than him showing a kind smile to him.

"Hi!" Naruto seldom saw such a picture, and he also compared his iconic sunny smile, and his golden hair was as bright as the morning glow.

"It's really healing." Seeing such a smile, Hoshino Shu's heart warmed up. He expected that if he suffered from such discrimination in childhood, he would be blackened in all likelihood.

Naruto's personality charm is not only in his mouth.

"You are Naruto, right? My name is Hoshino Shu. I just moved to Konoha, and I live across from you." Hoshino Shu pointed at the top floor of the opposite building.

The balcony of Naruto's house is exactly opposite to that of Hoshino Ju's house.

"Please give me more advice in the future." Hoshino Shu stretched out his hand.

Naruto stretched out his hand unnaturally, he was a little unfamiliar with such scenes, but his naturally cheerful personality made him shake hands with Hoshino Shu without hesitation.

"Then, Shu, we are friends now." Naruto looked at Hoshino Shu with his blue eyes.

Hoshino Shu was stunned for a moment before he understood the meaning of Naruto's words: "He really wants to have a friend."

He suddenly felt that even though he watched 720 episodes of Naruto and 120 episodes of Boruto, he still couldn't fully understand Naruto's feelings.

"Of course." Hoshino Shu said with a hearty smile.

Naruto's eyes showed unbelievable surprise, but he hesitated immediately.

Pointing to his stomach, he said in a slightly low tone: "People in the village say that I have a monster here, and they call me a demon fox."

The three-year-old Naruto is not very proficient in mastering words, but he can already express his emotions and meanings, but Hoshino Shu didn't know how to enlighten Naruto for a while.

"You told me just now that you are Naruto, you are not a demon fox." Hoshino Shu could only use the logic of a child to explain to Naruto.

Naruto blinked, then suddenly jumped up and cheered: "That's great!" He kicked all the chairs to the ground.

He took Hoshino Shu's hand and led him into the house.

Before entering the door, Hoshino Shu subconsciously looked back at the place where Jiraiya was.

Jiraiya stood on the opposite roof, with his hands on his chest, looking at them with a smile.

"It seems that I have nothing to worry about." Jiraiya jumped down, put his hands behind his head, and walked towards the bathhouse in a swaggering manner.

Naruto's room is very simple and not clean. Although Naruto's room is cleaned by a nanny because Naruto is young, it can be seen that the cleaning is very careless.

The entire space can only be said to maintain a basic sanitary condition, the bedding is messy, the arrangement of things lacks planning, and all kinds of things are randomly placed in every corner.

Hoshino Shu walked into the small kitchen and saw that the plug of the rice cooker was far away from the plug board, obviously it hadn't been used for cooking for a long time.You can only see various brands of instant noodles and milk placed around.

If you look closely at the dates above, quite a few milks have expired.

"This vitality is too tenacious." Hoshino Shu thought that although he was not rich when he was a child, he never lived such a life.

Naruto pushed a chair in front of the cabinet, stepped on it, and took a package from the upper cabinet.

"Biscuits." Naruto unwrapped the package.

"Eat." Hoshino Shu was a year older than Naruto, and a little taller than him. Naruto stood on tiptoe and handed the biscuit to Hoshino Shu's mouth.

Hoshino Shu took it with an embarrassed smile, feeling a little sore in his eyes for no reason, and said secretly in his heart: "Prince, please don't do this, I'm going to have a wind tunnel spiral shuriken in my eyes."

After spending a pleasant afternoon with Naruto, the two reluctantly parted, until Hoshino Shu walked on the street, Naruto was still waving goodbye to him.

"Shu, how do you feel about Naruto?" Jiraiya suddenly came out from an alley.

Hoshino Shu felt as if he had been guarding him since then.

"He should be younger than me, right? A very good brother, like a little sun." Hoshino Shu gave a heartfelt evaluation.

"But for some reason, he looks lonely, and it seems that the villagers don't like him very much."

"Like a little sun?" Zilai also felt that this description was very appropriate, and couldn't help smiling.

"Counting from the day Minato passed away, he should be three years old now, and he is indeed one year younger than you."

"If it's not convenient to see him now, I really want to take you two to eat a bowl of ramen."

Jiraiya squatted down and looked at Hoshino tree seriously by the dim street lights at night.

"Tree, I want to teach you a task."

Hoshino nodded solemnly.

"You are a precocious child with outstanding qualities and mature thoughts at a young age. As you can see, Naruto is a very good child, but he also has an unfortunate life experience like you."

Hoshino Shu thought to himself: "I'm more than just a precocious, I'm a mature and mature."

Jiraiya put his hand on Hoshinoshu's small shoulder, with a solemn tone.

"So I want you to accompany Naruto through his childhood as an older brother, guide him, and enlighten him. This child needs understanding and companionship."

Jilai also wanted to add, "There are some reasons I can't say for the time being, but you have to understand that your actions are actually protecting the entire village", but then I thought that such words might be too heavy for a four-year-old child.

"I see. Actually, if you didn't say that, I would still be friends with Naruto."

After hesitating for a while, Hoshino Shu asked, "Jiraiya, are you leaving?"

"Well, yes, I'm leaving tomorrow morning." Jiraiya's tone suddenly became lighter.

"What? You said you couldn't bear me?"

"No, I asked if you were leaving."

"What? If I leave, you will miss me so much?" Jiraiya opened one hand to his ear, pretending not to hear.

Hoshino Shu had a dark face, thinking: "I'm not a tsundere, you can't tease me at all."
