Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Master Teru Shimura, please forgive me for my rudeness! This person... Naruto Uzumaki, I apologize to you for my behavior, and please forgive me!" After knowing that the other party was Teru Shimura, Hinata Qingfeng also disappeared. With a little temper, he bowed his head and apologized to Naruto.

Hyuga Qingfeng's choice was very wise. It was absolutely stupid to anger Shimura Teru compared to his own face issues. As the hero of Konoha and the current Hokage's assistant, Shimura Teru, such a heavyweight was not something he could provoke at will.

The Hyuga clan cannot hate Shimura Teru's relationship because of themselves. If they continue to entangle themselves, they will definitely suffer a big loss. They simply give in before there is no huge conflict between the two parties. Therefore, Hinata Qingfeng retreats when faced with difficulties. It is considered very rational. .

After apologizing, Hinata Qingfeng left with Hyuga Hinata in despair. Shimura Teru also saw that he had also apologized to Naruto, so he was not so petty and tried to embarrass the other party. Shisui and Itachi also made way for Qingfeng and others. Come.

After seeing that it was Shimura Teru protecting Uzumaki Naruto, the onlookers dispersed in silence, obviously not wanting to get into trouble.

The owner of the store there had nowhere to go, so he could only sit at the counter and remain silent with his eyes averted, for fear that Teru Shimura would turn his attention to him.After all, Shimura Teru's behavior in favoring Naruto was so obvious, and his previous behavior was considered unfair to Naruto, so the boss felt guilty.

Shimura Teru casually took out 3000 taels of coins and threw them on the counter, which was regarded as payment for the mask in Naruto's hand.

Shimura Teru has nothing to say to his boss. After all, no matter what he says to the other party, it is meaningless. Mutual understanding can only be realized by oneself rather than relying on others to say it.

"Let's go!" Shimura Teru smiled and extended his hand to Naruto.

Shimura Teru decided not to do anything today, but to stay and spend time with Naruto, applying some color before Naruto's childhood was completely dyed gray by the shadows.

Naruto can be keenly aware of people's emotions, and the tenderness exuded by Shimura Teru is not fake. His previous behavior of fighting for Naruto's dignity also made him let go of his wariness towards Shimura Teru, a stranger, and he was full of affection for him.

It's just that Naruto is still not used to someone like Shimura Teru who is willing to hold his hand directly. He hesitantly turns to look at Shisui and the other two, because at this time, everyone around them has basically disappeared, and only a few of them are left. In terms of.

Uchiha Shisui is one of the few people who clearly knows the reason why Shimura Teru treats Naruto. He feels sorry for the fate of the Yondaime's son. In his heart, he only feels distress and sympathy for Naruto, and is not as indifferent to Naruto as other villagers.Seeing Naruto shift his gaze, Shisui responded with a hearty smile on his face.

Uchiha Itachi didn't know as much as Shisui, but it was certainly not the first time he had met Naruto. When observing how his brother was doing in the ninja school, he found that Naruto liked to stick to his brother. In his opinion, Naruto and Sasuke had a very good relationship, so he also showed a kind of brother-like smile to Naruto.

Three people...Three more people in one day who don't deliberately stay away from me!Naruto turned his back and quickly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes. When he turned around again, there was still a pure smile on his face. This time he held Teru Shimura's generous hand without hesitation, and his heart was filled with joy.

Naruto is not a complete person in the village. Iruka and Boss Ichiraku take good care of Naruto, and Hatake Sakumo and Hatake Kakashi occasionally go to get close to Naruto. Yes, Sarutobi Hiruzen often approaches and enlightens Naruto in the form of a lonely old man.

It's just that the existence of these people can't completely fill the hole in Naruto's heart. The rejection and indifference of the villagers still exist, and they can only maintain the faint starlight in the darkness.

This thought flashed past, and Shimura Teru decided that whenever he had free time in the future, he should spend more time with Naruto, a child who was both strong and sensitive.

"Uncle, are you my father?" Uzumaki Naruto looked at Shimura Teru, who was shopping with him, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. When pedestrians on the road saw Shimura Teru and Naruto approaching, they also intentionally left and passed them. The place.

Shimura Teru's body trembled slightly. He looked at Naruto who asked the question with complicated eyes, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer him.

Shisui on the side also had a look of sadness on his face. He obviously felt that Naruto's pitiful situation when both his parents died was very similar to Shisui's past childhood. His parents also died when he was very young. .

Only Itachi looked at the expressions of the teacher and Shisui expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

"Unfortunately, I am not your father." Shimura Teru lowered his eyes and said.

Naruto was not surprised or disappointed. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, after all, uncle and I have different hair colors..."

Seeing Naruto's smile, Itachi also frowned. He could see that Naruto's smile was fake, just as fake as the one he pretended to be in front of his father. Itachi couldn't understand why such a young child would have Such a smile.

Naruto kept smiling for a while. No one knew how much struggle he had gone through in his heart. He continued to ask as if nothing was wrong: "Uncle, do you know my parents?"

Shimura Teru looked at Naruto's smile. He seemed to have seen the scene when Minato smiled and comforted himself when he was a child. Facing Naruto like this, he couldn't choose to lie. At this moment, he also decided to tell Naruto his parents' identity information.

Naruto is more mature and stronger than the people in the village imagined. After a short conversation, Shimura Teru also understood Naruto's inner strength. It was not a wrong decision to tell him his parents' identity. His parents were the heroes of Konoha. Pride and honor belong to their son Uzumaki Naruto.

So what if Naruto spilled the beans?As long as Teru Shimura is still alive, who dares to touch a hair of Naruto?

"Ah...I know them." Shimura Teru squatted down and touched Naruto's head, then smiled and told Naruto about the true identity of his parents.

Only then did Itachi on the side know the whole truth, and the look in his eyes towards Naruto also changed slightly. He finally understood what the expressions of his master and his friend were about before.

After learning the truth, Naruto couldn't help but shed tears down his cheeks. His expression was full of confusion and shock. He had thought about all the speculations about his parents, but he never thought that his parents' identity was actually what Teru Shimura said. So legendary.

The smile on Naruto's face finally couldn't be stretched anymore, and Naruto, who had always been cheerful, cried undisguisedly for the first time, venting all the grievances and dissatisfaction that Naruto had felt since he could remember.The three people on the side, Shimura Teru, were silent about this, and they didn't know what to say to comfort the boy at this time.

"Naruto..."

"No...it doesn't matter, I'm fine. I'm glad that you can tell me the identity of my parents." Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes, not wanting others to see his weakness.

Although his tears were still wet, the smile on his face was back to its original state.

"My father is the hero who saved Konoha and the Fourth Hokage of Konoha Village. My mother, like me, has a fox sealed in her body, as you said, uncle. They sacrificed their lives to protect me and placed their trust in me. High expectations, I feel very happy and proud now, this is the first time I feel the love of my parents, I will definitely live a good life as they expect!"

Naruto's strength surprised Shimura Teru and the others, and their weak emotions were calmed down instantly. This is extremely rare and rare, considering that Naruto is only eight years old.

The person who should have darkened and collapsed ended up becoming the savior of the village and even the world. Uzumaki Naruto is really an incredible person. If it weren't for the other gods of Shisui who had gone into cooling, Shimura Teru would even have doubts about Naruto. People have been given psychological hints.

"Okay, I have decided that I will follow my own path of ninja! One day I will be recognized by everyone and become the strongest Hokage even better than my father!"

"Well, I believe you." Shimura Teru agreed with a smile after looking at Naruto who was full of energy.

"Naruto, if you want to become Hokage, then I, Shisui, will be your competitor!" Shisui said with a smile and nodded the Konoha forehead protector on his head.

"It is not that you will be recognized by everyone after you become Hokage. Only those who are recognized by everyone can become Hokage. Remember this, Uzumaki Naruto." Itachi smiled and nodded to Naruto.

Shisui and Itachi were very optimistic about the child Naruto. Seeing his optimistic spirit, they all doted on the little prince Naruto.During this day, they accompanied Naruto to play around Konoha Village. Almost everything went according to Naruto's wishes. At least on this day, Naruto enjoyed real happiness.
