Senior Brother of Konoha

The expected sharp pain in his chest did not come, but heartache came first, heartache that made Naruto almost unable to breathe.

Not because of Sasuke.

He and Sasuke were strangers to each other, and he had learned something about Sasuke's character before, so he had already expected that Sasuke would attack him first, and was prepared accordingly.

What made him heartbroken was Haruno Sakura, the heartache of being abandoned.

During his six-year career as a handyman disciple, he had many interactions with Haruno Sakura. Although the relationship was far from close, there was some tacit understanding.

Moreover, because he was too lonely on weekdays, he developed a crush on Haruno Sakura, who was always carefree and would often protect him.

He didn't expect Haruno Sakura to become his friend, but he just thought that she might become a partner he could trust.

After all, if the whole world didn't have such a partner, it would be a miserable life.

Thinking about it now, everything was just his own sentimentality, and it was all because Haruno Sakura's seemingly cheerful personality made him misunderstand.

He has always been just one person and that has never changed.

The leader will not be his grandfather, Iruka will not be his father, and Haruno Sakura will not be his friend.

Because he cannot escape the curse he bears, he cannot escape the fate of being abandoned by everyone.

For some reason, a small figure suddenly popped up in Naruto's mind.

Perhaps, only pets like ramen will not abandon you

While the heartache eased slightly, greater pain suddenly came.

The position on the chest is ramen

.

"Your chest is bleeding"

Haruno Sakura screamed, stepping forward in three steps and two steps, trying to bandage Naruto in a panic.

Kakashi put away the sinister smile on his face and complained dissatisfiedly, "Hey, Sasuke, we agreed to just act. Are you into the act or something? Why did you actually shoot him with a throwing knife?"

Sasuke also completely lost his previous coldness and viciousness. He scratched his head and said at a loss: "No, I didn't think about it, it's just that my hands don't obey me."

Haruno Sakura turned around and scolded the two of them loudly: "You two, why are you arguing at this time? Please help others."

Seeing more and more blood flowing out of Naruto's chest, Kakashi looked nervous, "Sasuke, I asked you to change the throwing knife into an unedged blunt one. If you change it, don't tell me that you don't have it." Change it."

"Changed, changed, I'm sure I changed"

Sasuke made a sound of recognition, and his expression became a little more relaxed.

With his strength, it was absolutely impossible for a blunt-headed flying knife to kill someone. At most, it would only make Naruto's chest hurt for a while.

After all, he is a practitioner who has been practicing for 6 years, and his physique is definitely not that fragile.

"Then why is it still bleeding?"

Kakashi was puzzled.

Haruno Sakura noticed something unusual and took out a dying purple-blue kitten from Naruto's chest pocket.

Naruto's face was pale and his expression was dull. The other three looked at each other, and then began to blame each other.

"It's all your fault, Sasuke. It's hard to cum anywhere but here. You must be in trouble."

"It's not Brother Kakashi's idea. He said he wanted to untie Naruto's knot."

"Why did you blame me? It's obviously because you two didn't execute my plan perfectly."

After arguing for a while, Kakashi suddenly remembered that he should save the kitten.

He took the kitten from Haruno Sakura's hands and laid it flat on the ground. A faint green light lit up on his hands, but he was using the healing spell Palm Senjutsu to treat the kitten.

But he soon gave up this futile move.

Although it is a kitten of the spiritual beast leopard cat, its innate physique is much stronger than that of ordinary kittens.

But after all, it was just a kitten. After being hit hard by Sasuke, there was no sign of life at all, and even the Palm Senjutsu could not save it.

He stood up, shook his head and sighed: "I'm sorry, Naruto, it was our carelessness that caused you to lose this spiritual beast leopard cat kitten. We will compensate you."

Haruno Sakura checked Naruto's injuries and after making sure there was nothing wrong, she patted Naruto on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry Naruto, your body is fine, and this kitten is not a big problem."

Sasuke said nonchalantly: "At worst, I'll give you a better spiritual beast cub."

.

Naruto had been immersed in pain, and it was only at this moment that he calmed down. He stood up, glanced at Kakashi and the other three, and asked lightly, "Did I just lose a kitten?"

Then he bent down, picked up the ramen noodles from the ground, and although the bleeding had stopped, he could barely notice his breathing, and staggered towards the door of the training ground.

Although the leopard cat kitten is important, is it just a kitten that is lost?

No, he lost more, including childhood friendships that seemed insignificant to others, including his vision and expectations for the future.

Was it really just acting just now?

It may seem so to others, but Naruto, who has been sensitive to kindness and malice since childhood, doesn't think so.

Under the cover of Haruno Sakura's fake apology, there was still a real murderous intention.

Naruto was very sure that if necessary, Haruno Sakura would definitely use his body as a stepping stone to climb up.

Haruno Sakura is a very ambitious woman, he has known this since he was a child.

When Sasuke fired the flying knife, Naruto saw endless coldness in his red eyes.

That is the determination to give up everything in pursuit of power, and it will not change because of anyone.

He understood that Sasuke had decided that he was a liability and would do his best to seize every opportunity to get rid of him.

Today, if it weren't for the ramen, the flying knife would have been inserted into his heart.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't have an edge, or it doesn't matter if it has a blunt-ended flying knife. As long as it's powerful enough, even tofu can kill people.

As for Kakashi, Naruto couldn't see clearly.

After all, he was just born with sensitivity, not some magical skill. There was no way that even someone like Kakashi could see it clearly.

He just vaguely felt that Kakashi was not as simple as he showed.

What a good test.

Naruto sighed inwardly and his steps became even more unsteady.

Is there really a chance to grow in this Konoha gate?

He let out a long sigh for the second time and walked out of the gate of Hongye Peak Branch.

.

.

More than half an hour later, with the representative's cabin in sight in the distance, an extremely strange voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of Naruto's heart.

"Hey, let me tell you, Uzumaki Naruto, do you still want your kitten to come back to life?"

where does the sound come from

Naruto was startled and looked around, but he still couldn't find where the sound was coming from.

"Stop looking for me. I'm the nine-tailed demon fox. I'm in your belly."

"what"

Naruto cried out softly, then quickly covered his mouth and looked around. He found that he was in an empty wilderness and it was impossible for anyone to get close. Then he asked in a low voice: "Nine-tailed demon fox, can you take my spirit?" Can the leopard cat kitten be rescued?"
