Konoha: Naruto from Sekiro

Chapter 2 Graduation
"Next, Uzumaki Naruto..."

Hearing his name, Naruto walked down from the last row slowly, and looked at the classmates in the classroom from the corner of his eye, they were sparse, and they had already walked a lot.

Walking into the examination room next door, the chief examiner was very familiar with him. Both Iruka and Mizuki were his teachers.

"The content of the assessment is the avatar technique, let's start." Iruka looked at the boy not far away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

As a child who also experienced the bitter cold, he can better understand Naruto's feelings, but he also understands why the villagers "persecute" a child in this way, because he once attributed the death of his parents to this child.

But he understands better that the nine-tailed demon fox is the nine-tailed demon fox, Uzumaki Naruto is Uzumaki Naruto, and he teaches Uzumaki Naruto, an innocent child.

To be honest, he was also worried that the child would not be able to bear the suffocating rejection. He was not sure that he could persevere as an adult in this situation.

But Naruto saw that the child's growth was completely beyond his expectations.

Just like plum blossoms born from the bitter cold, the harsh living environment seems to have become his nourishment.

Maturity, stability, perseverance, and kindness to others... These words, which should be applied to adults, are used to children without any obtrusiveness.

Of course, there is also a little deficiency. There seems to be a little problem with the child's language expression ability.

But every time I think of Naruto's living environment, Iruka can only sigh helplessly.

"Is it okay? Teacher?" Naruto asked again. Among all the teachers, Iruka is the only one who has no prejudice against him, and he respects him quite a bit, but it is more or less unreasonable for him to wander off at the test site.

"Huh?! Yes, you passed." Iruka turned around, looked at the two identical Naruto, coughed twice and nodded slightly, "Come here and get your forehead protection."

Iruka stood up and put the forehead protector on Naruto's head with his own hands. Looking at the big boy in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction, "Naruto, you have grown up."

Naruto looked at the sunny boy in front of him, with a few lips, and finally he could only find two words from the nearly exhausted vocabulary, "Thank you."

"From now on, I will be a ninja on my own, go!" Iruka patted him on the shoulder.

After Naruto went out, seeing that Iruka still didn't look back, Mizuki could not help coughing twice, and reminded: "Mr. Iruka, should we continue the assessment?"

"Oh! Sorry Mizuki-sensei!" Iruka smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, Mr. Iruka seems to like that child very much. There are so many people, you just helped the child bring a forehead protection. Although Naruto's grades are good, he doesn't seem to be the chief student, right?"

"Maybe it's because I was an orphan once, so I understand the child's feelings better."

"As expected of our excellent teacher."

"That's ridiculous, let's call the next student in."

"Next……"

……

It was already noon when I returned to the apartment where I lived alone.

After getting some food, Naruto sat cross-legged on the bed, and started the daily compulsory course - meditation.

Meditation is a habit of the previous life. The profession of ninja needs to maintain a high degree of concentration at all times. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Meditation can make him more concentrated and keep his brain in a clear state.

Tick ​​tock!

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a dark sewer.

[Come in again. 】

Except for being a little surprised when he came in for the first time, Naruto was almost familiar with this place.

For example, if you walk a few steps forward and turn left, you will see an iron fence several meters high. Whenever the nine-tailed demon fox shut up inside sees him, it will slap the fence and shout at him:
"Little devil! Come here, let me tear you to pieces!"

On the side is a child who stops crying at night.

Of course, there will be different times, for example, now, Naruto patted the iron fence and yelled at the resting fox inside:
"How do you sleep at your age?"

boom!
Nine Tails slammed its paw on the iron fence, so much that it admitted that this lump was the most disgusting.

"Little devil, believe it or not, I will tear you to pieces!"

"Huo! He's not very capable, but his tone is not small!" Naruto grinned, and for some reason, his mouth was particularly powerful when facing this fox.

"Today, we are standing here, if you can touch me, I will lose!"

"Come on! You are taking two steps forward!" Jiuwei's tone was like a ghost crawling out of hell. If the eyes can kill, I believe the eyes of the fox have killed him hundreds of times.

After daily saliva spraying each other, one person and one fox had a halftime break.

"Hey! Big fox, we've been arguing for so many years, and we haven't gotten to know each other well. What's your name?" Naruto patted the fence and asked inside.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto... It should be this name now, maybe it will be this name in this life."

"..."

"Hey!!" Naruto stood up and patted the fence hard, "Don't be so shameless, we've known each other for so many years!"

"..."

"Isn't there no name?" Naruto frowned, and waved his right hand, "It doesn't matter, the name is just a code name, do you want me to pick one for you?"

"..."

"Hey! Do you want to, just say?!"

"..."

"Squeak!" He kicked on the fence.

"..."

Naruto:"……"

After confirming that there was no gain as usual, Naruto sat cross-legged and continued to meditate.

What he didn't notice was that the moment he closed his eyes, Kyuubi also slightly raised his eyelids, and his huge vertical pupils quietly watched the boy outside the seal.

after an hour.

Naruto finished today's meditation, looked up at Nine Tails with eyes still closed, and was about to exit the spiritual space.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Rare thing," Naruto paused, looking at the big fox in front of him in surprise, seeing that he was about to explode, he quickly answered his question.

"Who do you think I am? Afraid?"

Just a joke, he has never seen any big scenes before, the thousand-year-old white snake, the big one can wrap around a mountain, it is scary enough, he cut it down; the dragon born from the cherry tree can give people the power of immortality, bull, what's the matter? It wasn't that she was beaten to tears by him; what kind of shrew in Shuisheng village has a lot of opinions about playing with neither human nor ghost, so she really wouldn't be frightened by a fox that grew a little bigger and looked so dizzy.

And seriously, apart from his bad temper and poisonous mouth, this big fox has a good overall appearance.

It's sizzling!

There was a sound of goosebumps. Following the sound, it turned out that it was Jiuwei who was sharpening his claws.

"Anything else?" Naruto asked.

"I'm leaving!"

"..."

"I really want to go!"

"..."

"I really want to go!"

"roll!"

"Okay!"

Seeing the disappearing figure, Kyuubi also slowly closed his eyes.

In reality, Naruto opened his eyes and smiled slightly, arguing with Kyuubi is one of the few pleasures he currently enjoys.

"The ingredients seem to be running out, it's time to stock up."

Get up, put on your clothes, and leave with the door.

But the direction he was going was not the commercial street, but the woods outside the village.

It is not impossible for him to go to Commercial Street. People are always forgetful. Because of his long-term self-sufficiency and long absence, the people on the street have almost forgotten what he looks like. At most, they only remember this person.

These things are not his guesswork, no one recognized him the last time he went to buy spices.

But he still tries to avoid entering crowded places.

In case someone recognized him, the other party would be upset, and he would be upset too.

It's still true to be a jungler in the wild. After so many years, I have never seen him starve to death outside.
