No one knows Hokage better than me

tick tock tick tock

With the sound of the alarm clock, Naruto woke up from the fragrance of dreams.

"Ji Zhi Xing"

For some reason, Naruto shouted out of habit, but no one answered.

Naruto sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes. When he looked down, Ji Zhixing's bedding was gone.

Naruto thought Ji Zhixing was preparing breakfast, and since he happened to have a need to urinate, he walked to the bathroom with his slippers and said by the way: "Ji Zhixing, I want to eat meat buns this morning."

When no one responded, Naruto went to pee first.

After leaving the bathroom and heading to the kitchen, Naruto wondered what kind of delicious food Ji Zhixing was making, and why he didn't answer even after calling him several times.

When he walked into the kitchen, he found that Ji Zhixing was not there either.

"Ji Zhi Xing"

Naruto was still a little unwilling. Ji Zhixing didn't say he was going back to the orphanage yesterday, so it was impossible for him to leave without saying hello to him.

Could it be that Ji Zhixing just went downstairs to buy breakfast?

With this thought, Naruto sat at the dining table and waited. At this moment, he was completely sleepless.

Half an hour passed, and Naruto still hadn't waited for Ji Zhixing, which made him panic.

And just when Naruto was thinking in a bad direction, he discovered that there had been a card on the table.

Naruto took the card, which contained the words left by Ji Zhixing:

Naruto, I have something to do today. I will come back in the evening. Remember to practice on time. Also, there are breakfast and lunch boxes prepared in the kitchen cabinet. Don’t forget to eat them.

Ji Zhixing suddenly disappeared, and Naruto felt sad and confused as if the whole world had collapsed.

But after reading Ji Zhixing's message at this moment, his frustration turned into happiness.

Thinking about this, Naruto quickly ran to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then took out the breakfast lunch box from the sideboard, which contained the meat buns that Naruto wanted to eat.

"I'm about to start" Naruto clasped his hands together and prayed with a smile.

After breakfast, Naruto brought a lunch box and milk and arrived at the training ground early. He vowed energetically: "Ji Zhixing is not here today, and I will practice with him."

The ANBU who was hiding in the dark to protect Naruto saw him working so hard and sighed. If he could have practiced so hard back then, his companions would not have died in the mission.

And if the companion had not sacrificed, his elderly parents would not have been sent to Konoha nursing home.

Although I go to the nursing home to secretly visit my companion's parents every month and ask the dean to take extra care of her, this compensation due to guilt is insignificant compared to the joy of family life enjoyed by her companion and her parents.

Thinking of this, Anbu sighed helplessly.

Time flew by, and it was already evening in the blink of an eye. Naruto, who was exhausted from training, trotted home. He couldn't wait to eat the dinner cooked by Ji Zhixing.

But when Naruto got home, Ji Zhixing hadn't come back yet.

Naruto felt a little disappointed, but he comforted himself by saying that Ji Zhixing might be on his way back. Thinking of this, his mood really improved a lot.

Naruto closed the door and turned on the light. Ji Zhixing had the door key with him, and the latter had told him to close the door when it got dark. Naruto remembered all of this.

After taking a shower consciously, Ji Zhixing hadn't come back yet, so Naruto sat at the dining table and waited.

After waiting for an hour, Naruto heard footsteps outside the house several times. He thought it was Ji Zhixing coming back. He went to open the door excitedly, but found that they were all neighbors. But he could only return dejectedly again and again.

It wasn't until the third time that he fell behind like this that the young Naruto finally collapsed and huddled in a corner alone, letting all kinds of tragic illusions fill his mind.

There were faint sounds of footsteps downstairs, but Naruto didn't react at all.

It must be another neighbor who has had enough of the torture from bliss to utter sorrow.

Just when Naruto himself didn't know what to think now, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Naruto, I'm back."

As soon as he heard this familiar voice, Naruto rushed out of bed without wearing any shoes. He opened the door and threw himself on Ji Zhixing, causing both of them to fall.

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?" Seeing Naruto crying like a fool, Ji Zhixing hurriedly patted him on the back.

Naruto wiped his nose and tears on Ji Zhixing's clothes. .

"What's wrong Naruto, who bullied you?"

Ji Zhixing was very puzzled. The third generation had already disclosed Naruto's life experience, and the ANBU had been protecting Naruto. It was impossible for anyone to dare to bully him.

The more confused he became, the more panicked he became. Just when Ji Zhixing thought that Naruto was sick and uncomfortable, Naruto suddenly raised his head, sucked his nose, and sobbed: "Ji Zhixing, I'm hungry."

"hungry"

Ji Zhixing was a bit dumbfounded. He could make a five-year-old child cry because he had not eaten for a day.

Thinking about it, Ji Zhixing pushed Naruto's face away with disgust but without being rude, helped him wipe away his tears, and asked: "Didn't you eat the breakfast and lunch boxes I left in the sideboard?"

"Eat." Naruto replied aggrievedly.

That's not the case. We have dinner at this time every night. Why is Naruto so pretentious today?

He had never been as lonely as Naruto, so Ji Zhixing didn't think about the reason for Naruto's abnormal mood.

Only in the dead of night, when he looked at Naruto's sleeping face, did he understand what was going on.

These are the words later, when Ji Zhixing asked Naruto to pull himself up because the things he bought were crushed by himself and Naruto.

"What is this?" Naruto asked, pointing to the deformed box on the ground.

"This is the birthday cake prepared for you Naruto, today is your birthday"

Ji Zhixing's face showed a proud look, October 10th, five years ago today, was the day Naruto was born.

Naruto was pleasantly surprised and quickly moved the deformed cake to the dining table and opened it.

As expected by Ji Zhixing, the cream and the cake box came into close contact

"Naruto, bring the snacks from the bedside table. I allow you to skip dinner tonight and only have snacks, but only this time," Ji Zhixing said while lighting candles.

For children of this age, snacks are far more tempting than meals.

No, upon hearing what Ji Zhixing said, Naruto jumped up and carried all the snacks in the bedside table to the table.

Ji Zhixing smiled slightly and said: "Naruto, blow out the candles, then close your eyes and make a wish, so that the wish will come true in the coming year."

"I see"

Naruto was so excited that he blew out five candles in one breath, then closed his eyes and made a wish silently.

When Naruto opened his eyes again, Ji Zhixing had handed a cardboard box to him.

"What is this?" Naruto asked stupidly.

"It's a birthday gift for Naruto. Open it and see if you like it." Ji Zhixing said mysteriously.

Naruto nodded, opened the box carefully, and found two photo frames inside, one framed a photo of himself and Ji Zhixing taking with their fingers crossed, and the other framed a comic.

In the comics, there are two children sitting on Hokage Rock watching the sunset. Those two children are naturally Naruto and Ji Zhixing.

There is also a paragraph written behind the comic box: Naruto Uzumaki, you must grow up healthily. I hope you, Keichiro and Kotomi will grow up to be great ninjas.

The signature is Mr. Kishimoto, the cartoonist who drew Ninja Anecdotes

Naruto danced happily. Ji Zhixing knew that he would like this gift, and it was not in vain that he went to Okayama Village in the Land of Fire to ask Teacher Kishimoto for help.

"How is it? Naruto likes this gift?" Ji Zhixing asked with a smile.

Naruto nodded one after another, "Yeah, I like it."

"As long as Naruto likes it, please keep in mind Kishimoto-sensei's words."

"Um"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat cake."

"it is good"
