Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

"This is the configuration of ANBU members. I think you should be able to use it."

Kakashi handed Tokimoto and Gai each a mask and a dark ninja uniform belonging to the ANBU.

In order to hide their eyes from others, they all need to dress up as ANBU during the operation. These are naturally necessary.

After taking it and making some random moves, Shi Yuan discovered that his mask actually had a monkey pattern, and Kai next to him was a tiger.

"Then we spent a day dealing with everything at hand, and now, one day later, we are gathering at the gate."

Kakashi took off the mask on his face and said to Tokiyuan and Gai.

"No problem, Kakashi! I won't be late!"

Gai hugged the thing in his hand tightly and put his other hand around Kakashi's shoulder.

"Me too."

Time is a bit tight for Shiyuan.

The matter at hand was a new round today, and he expected that he would have at least a few days to prepare, but he did not expect that the plan could not keep up with the change, and the task came a bit quickly.

"Okay, let's see you tomorrow. I'll go back and deal with some things first."

Kakashi put his mask back on as he spoke, and then disappeared in front of the two of them.

"Come on, Kai, let's go back and get ready."

Kakashi left quickly, Shiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Kai beside him.

"Okay, but I have nothing to prepare. I plan to continue my daily training later. Shiyuan, do you want to come with me?"

Gai stuck the thing Kakashi gave him to his belt and immediately sent an invitation to Shiyuan.

"Running around the village? I haven't done this kind of training for a long time. Kai, you can go on your own. I'll go home and clean up first."

Shi Yuan bid farewell to Kai, and the two parted on the street.

Without going around in circles, Shi Yuan went directly to his laboratory base.

There is a mission tomorrow, so the experiment can only be stopped immediately, and the previous plan can only be put on hold temporarily.

The clones have the same consciousness as him, so without the main body, the clones' work continues as usual without slacking off.

After briefly looking at the progress in all aspects, Shi Yuan came to the underground laboratory.

The development of Ninjutsu has ended, so the two clones originally used to develop Ninjutsu were transferred to two other places to assist.

"Please put down what you are doing first. The plan has changed. There is no time for us to conduct another round of experiments before Yunyin comes."

"how?"

"I'm leaving the village tomorrow."

"Well, then we can only suspend everything and seal this place."

"Then there's no need to continue now."

The clones communicated with the main body, then put down the things in their hands and returned them to their places.

"call!"

After finishing the work, the clone formed a seal in front of it, then turned into white smoke and disappeared into the air, returning to the main body.

After all the clones were disbanded, Shi Yuan determined that everything in the laboratory had been sealed, and then returned to the ground.

Some special medicines were taken from the above-ground laboratory, and the clones here were immediately disbanded.

Before leaving, all the perception wards and warning wards in the room were turned on, and Shi Yuan left with peace of mind.

He has carried enough important things with him, and the things left here basically cannot affect him.

Walking from the laboratory towards home, it was lunch time before I knew it.

The temperature is gradually getting colder. After all, it is winter. A few snowflakes were flying in the past few days, but it did not start falling immediately. It is estimated that it will take another month before we can see the scene of heavy snowfall.

Drop drop!

Unfortunately, it suddenly started raining heavily.

Shi Yuan, who was looking for a place to eat, quickly walked to the nearby eaves.

"Yo! Shiyuan-san!"

Suddenly, Shi Yuan looked up and saw a fairly familiar face.

Otsutsuki Ichiraku, known as the ultimate boss of the Naruto world, was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Uncle, it turned out to be you."

Unknowingly, Shiyuan found that he had walked to the location of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Come in and get out of the rain. If you haven't had lunch, you can try a new soup base ramen I recently developed. You won't regret it!"

He opened the raincloth in front of the door with his hand, and then signaled Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan smiled and walked in immediately.

Now that he's here, he doesn't mind eating a bowl of ramen to satisfy his food and clothing problem.

Because of the rain, the ramen restaurant that should have been crowded was actually empty at this time.

After ordering the latest hand-recommended model, Shi Yuan sat quietly and waited.

Calamus tidied the counter very seriously and wiped the counter over and over again with the towel in his hand.

"This is your lunch, Shiyuan. It has the fish fillet I specially added for you. Please enjoy it slowly!"

Soon after, the ramen Shiyuan ordered was brought to hand.

"grateful!"

Shi Yuan clasped his hands together to thank for the extra fish steak in the bowl, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Smelling the aroma of ramen, Shiyuan's taste buds became active, so he immediately rolled up a ball with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Really delicious!"

Shiyuan was instantly captured by this new type of ramen and gave a thumbs up to the hand on the other side of the table.

Just when Shi Yuan was about to take a second bite, he seemed to feel something and tilted his head to the side.

A little head was sticking out of the door and looking inside.

Shi Yuan was stunned and casually put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Slap uncle!"

The voice trembled slightly with some timidity, but the owner who spoke did not enter the room immediately.

"It's Naruto! Come in quickly!"

Tejida also noticed Naruto poking his head, holding a pot and spoon in his hand and saying with a smile on his face.

"Can I?"

Little Naruto looked at Shi Yuan who was sitting in front of Shi Yuan and eating something. He didn't move immediately. His voice was very low as if to test Shi Yuan's attitude.

The expression on his face was a little gloomy, and Shi Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Naturally, this discomfort could not be directed at the innocent Naruto in front of him.

As the son of the fourth generation, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of this generation, Naruto was in a really bad situation when he was young. He had no friends, no friends, and no one close to him.

He didn't know why the people in the village didn't want to see him. On the surface, everything was calm, but in fact, his heart was full of holes.

For example, now, he was afraid that when he entered, he would disturb the guests who were beating the uncle, just like before, he was afraid that he would scare away the guests who were eating.

In fact, it's not like Jiyuan has never thought about making Naruto's life better during this period. He even mentioned Naruto metaphorically in front of the third generation. But sometimes, some things cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.

Furthermore, Naruto's identity is very special, and he cannot approach him rashly.

Thinking of this, Shi Yuan glanced past Naruto and looked at a shadow outside.

I don't know if it's an ANBU or a root ninja hiding there.

"Why can't you come in, little Naruto, come in and sit down, I think you must not have eaten?"

Teida cordially gestured for Naruto to come in, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"That's it, come in quickly, little Naruto!"

Iris also said to the hesitant Naruto.

"But……"

Naruto looked at the only customer in the store at this time, and saw that the other person seemed to be a little angry when he looked at him, which made him feel even more timid.

"Come in, it's still raining outside, and it won't be good if you get cold."

Shiyuan restrained his thoughts, and at the same time realized that his expression might have dissuaded Naruto, so he said to Naruto with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he waved for Naruto to sit next to him.

Anyway, he didn't approach Naruto intentionally at this time, but Naruto came close to him, so he didn't need to cover up and pretend that he didn't know Naruto.

Another one, even if he approached Naruto intentionally, so what?

What would the third generation say?It's useless to say it anyway, he will dare to do it next time.

And except for the third generation, most of them are worried about or warned by some dark guys.But now it seems that there is no need to be afraid of his strength. He is not some guy without a backer. There are three generations behind him.

"Really?!"

Naruto froze on the spot, but then quickly realized that he had heard correctly.

The unknown guest actually asked him to sit over instead of chasing him away.

"Why not?"

Shi Yuan kept the smile on his face, inexplicably feeling that the child in front of him was really pitiful.

He seemed a little excited just by a kind word from a stranger?

Sighing in his heart, he became really unhappy with some people in the village. The first one to bear the brunt was naturally the Sandaime sitting in the position of Hokage.

Naruto's situation, as the Hokage, he couldn't possibly be unaware of, but he didn't seem to take any steps to change it.

There may be many considerations, but this directly affects a child's growth factors.

In the original work, the person who should be darkened the most becomes the savior. This is Naruto's biggest joke!

Shi Yuan had heard this sentence before. He had no experience in this aspect before, but now, he had some resonance.

Although he had not come into contact with Naruto in the past two years, he had met him several times by chance.

I thought that Naruto's situation was just because he was a little embarrassed about the Leaf Village, but now he discovered that that seemed to be the truth?

Naruto moved slightly to the position next to Shiyuan, his eyes always staring at Shiyuan.

He was still a little unsure about Shi Yuan's attitude.

It's not like he has never met someone who suddenly treats him well.

Last month, there was a boy who was suddenly nice to him. In the end, he lured him to the back hill under the pretext of playing with him and left him there alone. He also yelled that he would be eaten by wild beasts before disappearing.

If an uncle with a mask hadn't brought him back, he might not have been able to come back that time.

This was not an isolated incident. In his short memory, he seemed to have experienced similar incidents many times.

Therefore, looking at Shi Yuan at this time, he couldn't help but feel scared. Will it end up deceiving him again?

"What, are you afraid of me? I remember I look pretty good?"

Shiyuan saw through Naruto's heart, so his hand fell directly on Naruto's head.

A warm hand fell on his head, and Naruto froze in place. He stared at Shiyuan with blue eyes, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Aren't you... afraid of me?"

Naruto asked hesitantly.

"Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you? I'm a Jonin, second only to the Hokage in the village!"

After rubbing Naruto's head, Shiyuan noticed that the other person's hair was wet from the rain outside, and the goggles on his forehead were also full of water droplets.

"A ninja?"

Naruto's eyes lit up.

Suddenly, he felt the guy in front of him grab his collar and lift him up.

come yet?Sure enough, it's that kind of guy again!

As if anticipating his own end, the sparkle that had just burst out in Naruto's eyes gradually dimmed.

He slowly closed his eyes, preparing to bear the blow of the stranger in front of him.

I don’t know if I lifted him up and smashed him on the ground. Although it hurt, it would be fine after a sleep.

Looking at it this way, Naruto's mood was no longer so sad.

"Why is this kid closing his eyes? Is he watching too many TV series and thinking that there will be some bloody plot?"

Suddenly, Naruto felt his butt touch the chair, and then the stranger's voice sounded in his ears.

"what?"

He opened his eyes somewhat unexpectedly and looked over.

He found that the other party grabbed him by the collar and merely put him on a chair.

Because he was only three years old at this time and was as tall as a chair.

"Naruto, what's wrong with you?"

Iris leaned forward towards Naruto and asked with slight concern.

"Ah? I'm fine. I just thought... thought..."

As he spoke, Naruto stopped talking and his cheeks turned slightly red, looking a little embarrassed.

"What do you want to eat, Naruto-chan?"

The uncle broke the embarrassment with his hand, and raised the pot and spoon in his hand to signal Naruto to order.

"I……"

Naruto looked at the enthusiastic uncle and the kind sister Acorus, and their hands unknowingly got mixed together.

He...has no money!

As for why he came to Ichiraku Ramen, it was simply because this was the closest place that was willing to take shelter from the rain. Otherwise, he could only think of his home a few streets away.

So, he didn’t want to eat ramen in the first place.

Although Naruto knew that if he said that he had no money, the uncle would definitely make him a bowl for free because the other party often did this, but he also knew that it was not good to do so.

He is afraid that because he always eats Uncle Handpa's food for free, Uncle Handpa will be unhappy and eventually stop being 'friends' with him.

Uncle Shouda and Sister Changpu were the only people in the village who smiled at him, and he didn't want to lose them.

"Let me treat you. Your clothes are soaked. If you don't eat something warm, you will easily catch a cold!"

Shiyuan said to Naruto.

"is it okay?"

Naruto raised his lowered head and looked at Shiyuan, surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Of course, ninjas do what they say!"

Shiyuan pushed the menu on the table in front of Naruto, with an expression as if you were ordering casually.

"Big brother, you are so kind!"

Baby Naruto is really cute.

After Naruto was sure that the eldest brother in front of him really wanted to treat him to dinner, the joy on his face could not be concealed.

He turned to look at the uncle who had been waiting for his order. He raised his right hand high and then dropped it on the menu.

"Uncle Hand Beat, I want barbecued pork ribs ramen!"

"okay!"

Teida smiled and inadvertently glanced at Shiyuan who was looking at Naruto.

He had just noticed that Naruto was a little embarrassed, so he also realized that Naruto had no money again, so he was about to say that he would treat Naruto to a bowl of ramen, but Shi Yuan was faster than him.

"A regular bowl? Don't save money for me, ninjas are very rich!"

Shi Yuan thought of Naruto's appetite and the other party's hesitant ordering action just now, and then said to Naruto. .

"Hmm...can I change it to a larger bowl?"

Naruto looked at Shiyuan and licked his lips subconsciously.

"of course can."

Shi Yuan answered with a smile, but at the same time, the depression in his heart became heavier.

Naruto, whose only hope every day seems to be to eat a big bowl of ramen, seems to be really mocking Konoha.

And this also allowed Shi Yuan to see the two sides of many things.

Most of what he saw was the good side of the village, but at this moment, a scene in which the village seemed not so generous was clearly placed in front of him.

This is how the fourth generation son, the hero of the village, is treated.

Shaking his head, Shi Yuan knew what he should do, otherwise he would never feel better.

"Okay, increase the bowl of barbecued pork ribs ramen, it will be ready soon!"

Teuchi looked at Shiyuan who was communicating with Naruto calmly, and a smile broke out on his face.

He had always been sympathetic to Naruto's experience.

As for what kind of monster is Naruto incarnate?It was impossible for him to believe that kind-hearted Naruto would not be that kind of thing.

He was not a ninja and could not change Naruto's situation, so the most he did was treat Naruto to his favorite ramen and chat with him for a while.

"Ok!"

Naruto nodded heavily, holding the chopsticks in his hand with an expectant look on his face.

At the same time, he also used his peripheral vision to look at the source of time around him that was unfamiliar to him.

"Big Brother, what's your name?"

His voice was full of childishness.

"Me, Sarutobi Tokigen, what about you?"

Shiyuan put his hands on the table in front of him and tilted his body slightly to answer Naruto.

"My name is...Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto looked a little happy when he received Shiyuan's response and quickly announced his name.

After saying that, he stared at Shi Yuan and paid attention to Shi Yuan's reaction.

"Oh, Uzumaki Naruto, that's a pretty good name."

It was as if Shi Yuan had heard the name for the first time, and his anticipation was calm.

"Ok!"

Naruto found that Shiyuan didn't get upset after hearing his name like some people he had met before, so the smile on his face became even brighter.

His young face was full of happiness. Even though his short golden hair was wet from the rain and stuck tightly to his scalp, he was still normal, and his blue eyes flashed with joy from time to time.

"Naruto-chan, your ramen is ready! Eat it quickly!"

The hand placed a bowl as big as two of Naruto's faces on the table and said to Naruto in a gentle tone.

"Naruto, take your time, wipe the water off your head before eating."

The calamus that had just left also appeared at this time, and in her hand was a pale white towel.

Naruto stared blankly at the towel, but Acorus had already crossed the counter and covered his head with the towel and started rubbing it.

Soon, wet hair becomes dry.

"Eat it and you won't catch a cold!"

After finishing everything, Acorus put the towel aside and looked at Naruto who was dumbfounded in his seat with a motherly look on his face.

Shi Yuan was also a little surprised.

Although he knew that Handai and his son were already among the few who cared for Naruto when he was young, he did not expect that the other two would be so kind to Naruto.

The sharp contrast left a deep impression on Naruto, no wonder he always likes to come to Ichiraku Ramen House in the future.

"Thank you, Sister Calamus!"

Naruto lowered his head and his voice was a little low.
