"Father?"

When Xia Zhi was woken up from his deep sleep, he was shocked to find that it was not his father who woke him up.

The visitor was wearing a black tights, a gray overalls, and a white mask representing a "monkey" on his head.

Such standard clothing immediately made Xia Zhi recognize the person's identity.

Konoha's assassination tactics special force, referred to as ANBU.

Xia Zhi was startled.

What were the ANBU doing at his house?

He is a member of the Thousand Hands clan with upright roots! The fourth generation of Konoha is thriving!

The ANBU, who had no idea how to get in, didn't say a word, stretched out his hands to pick up Xia Zhi, turned around and started on his way.

Xia Zhi was immediately frightened and woke up.

He lay in the other person's arms, feeling the wind blowing across his young face, and retreating as he watched the surrounding scenery.

About ten minutes later, when the ANBU stopped, Xia Zhi also recognized where this place was.

This is the land of the Thousand Hands Clan, and his father brought him here once.

Although the Xia Zhi family also had the surname Senju before, under the call of the First Hokage, in order to eliminate the discrimination and estrangement between the ninja clan and the common people, the Senju clan "started with me", and most people gave up their surnames. Integrate into the big family of "Konoha Village".

So now Xia Zhi, like his father, has a name but no surname.

Now that Senju Tobirama and Senju Nōju have died in the Second Ninja War, the only one who can put the word "Senju" in front of his name is the Princess of Konoha, Senju Tsunade. That’s all.

After discovering that the ANBU had put him down in front of the Senju Clan, Xia Zhi's somewhat panicked expression gradually calmed down and he became curious.

Why did this ANBU bring him to the land of the Senju Clan?

Who ordered him?

"follow me."

Perhaps seeing the doubts in Xia Zhi's heart, Anbu asked Xia Zhi to follow him in a low voice, and he walked towards the interior of the clan.

Xia Zhiren, who is only four years old this year, has short calves and hastens to keep up.

Following the Anbu, Xia Zhi walked through the not too long stone path and came to a large wooden courtyard.

In the courtyard, the evergreen trees suspected to be planted by Senju Hashirama himself are tall and vertical, with lush branches and leaves.

At this moment, the breeze blows, blowing down a few yellowish leaves.

Not far away, there is a small pond made of pebbles.

In the pond, the frightened carp still haven't slept, wandering in the clear water, causing ripples one after another.

But Xia Zhi did not pay attention to this scenery.

His eyes had been firmly attracted to something in the courtyard.

They were two corpses covered with white cloth, only the feet wearing ninja boots were exposed, and everything from the calves to the head was covered.

Thinking of being taken out of the room by ANBU in the early morning before the sun came up, Xia Zhi's little heart felt like it was being grabbed by someone. It tightened hard and her heart was shaken!

When Xia Zhi's attention was drawn to the two corpses, Anbu lowered his head and said respectfully to the room.

"Mito-sama, bring me to Summer Solstice."

The summer solstice at this time did not respond to this.

If it were normal, with the name Mito and the respectful attitude of the ANBU, he would immediately understand that the woman in the room was Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama.

But now, standing in front of these two corpses, Xia Zhi's mind was in chaos, and she felt that her little body had lost its strength.

He staggered forward two steps, knelt down in front of the white cloth with straight eyes, and lifted up the white cloth with his trembling hands.

When she saw the first corpse, Xia Zhi was filled with joy.

Great, no!

But the next moment, that face that was extremely familiar to him, even though there was still blood that had not dried up, appeared in Xia Zhi's sight.

"..."

Xia Zhi's body froze in place, motionless.

He didn't know how long it took, but he covered the white cloth in silence and knelt on the ground with dull eyes.

Tears fell down her face like rain, but not a single cry came out of Xia Zhi's mouth.

Not long after, the door was opened.

A woman in a white kimono came out of the house.

"It's the summer solstice, right?"

Following the sound, Xia Zhi raised his head blankly.

What caught his eye was a young woman who looked to be about twenty years old, with long blood-colored hair tied into two buns on the left and right, and a purple diamond-shaped mark in the middle of her forehead.

"I am Uzumaki Mito, you can call me Granny Mito."

The young woman came to Xia Zhi, tenderly stretched out her hand, wiped his tears, and gently touched Xia Zhi's head.

"From today on, you can live here."

Xia Zhi stared blankly at the woman in front of him who should be Mito Uzumaki.

Is this how the protagonist is treated?

Parents sacrifice to heaven, with boundless mana?

As someone who was separated from the Senju Clan, he was actually lucky enough to live in the Clan's land?

When Xia Zhi was born, his mother died in childbirth.

Now, his father also died yesterday.

From today on, Xia Zhi officially becomes an orphan.

"But I would rather not get this kind of protagonist treatment!"

……

Where Xia Zhi couldn't see him, a twelve-year-old girl was hiding behind the rockery, looking at his silhouette.

"Is that Uncle Naoki's child? Is it called Xia Zhi?"

The girl with long red hair named Uzumaki Kushina bit her lip and looked down at the body that was covered by a white cloth.

Four hours ago, a Kumogakure jounin and three Kumogakure chuunin broke in and kidnapped Uzumaki Kushina who was finishing training at the training ground and planning to go home for dinner.

As Kushina Uzumaki's bodyguard, Natsuhi's father Naoki and another colleague were killed immediately, failing to even send a distress signal.

Fortunately, Namikaze Minato followed the clues that Uzumaki Kushina left with her hair.

After a struggle, Namikaze Minato waited for the ANBU's support in time and rescued Uzumaki Kushina.

Although the two of them were not killed by Kushina Uzumaki, they died because of her after all, which made the girl feel extremely guilty.

……

Because the invasion of Kumo ninja could not cause panic among the villagers, the funerals of the two deceased were simple.

Two days later, in front of the Konoha Memorial Monument.

Looking at his father's name on the monument, Xia Zhi didn't even react to this huge change.

Behind Xia Zhi, Uzumaki Kushina, who was hiding behind the tree, opened her mouth but stopped talking.

Out of guilt, she wanted to comfort Xia Zhi, but she didn't know how to speak.

As usual, say, "I will be your eldest sister from now on, and you will be under my care?"

Don't make trouble!

His father died because of him.

And no matter how much she takes care of him, can she still replace him as his father?

goooo~

After standing in front of the mourning monument for more than an hour, Xia Zhi was awakened by a roar.

He lowered his head and discovered that the roaring sound actually came from his belly.

"Yes. I don't seem to have eaten anything today."

Xia Zhi nodded suddenly and turned around to leave.

Although he is a time traveler, in the more than four years since he was born, his father has been both a father and a mother, working hard to raise him.

Xia Zhi has completely regarded this man as his father.

That’s actually true!

Knowing that this was Naruto's world, and that the Third Ninja War hadn't even started yet, he was worried about this day coming.

I just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"Ugh?"

Xia Zhi, who was thinking, staggered and fell to one side.

He hasn't eaten well in the past few days, and he didn't eat breakfast today.

In addition, I have been too sad recently, my emotions have been fluctuating, and my body is much weaker than usual.

The scenery before my eyes changes. With a bang, Xia Zhi fell to the ground.

On the inside of his white and tender hands, a layer of skin was scratched by the rocks on the ground.

Blood flowed out immediately.

"careful!"

Seeing this, Uzumaki Kushina exclaimed and ran out of her hiding place.

"Are you OK?"

She lifted Xia Zhi up, patted the dust on his body, and then took out potion from her bag to disinfect Xia Zhi's hands.

"Disinfection is a bit painful, as a man you have to endure it!"

Uzumaki Kushina squatted on the ground and placed Xia Zhi's little hand in her palm.

Her expression was focused, her dark green eyes fixed on Xia Zhi's wound, and she quickly formed seals.

"Water escape, water rush!"

A stream of water was summoned by her, washing Xia Zhi's wounds and washing away the dust and small stones.

Then, she took the potion and carefully applied it to Xia Zhi bit by bit, and then tied the wound with a bandage.

It is estimated that Namikaze Minato has never enjoyed this treatment.

When everything was completed, Uzumaki Kushina's face showed a smile from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, that's it!"

Looking at the "blood red pepper" bandaging his wounds, Xia Zhi said with a complicated expression.

"Thank you."

Although the cause of his father's death was not disclosed due to ninja confidentiality regulations, Xia Zhi quickly guessed it based on his understanding of the plot and Uzumaki Mito's "grace" to suddenly allow him to move into the Senju clan.

His father should be the next Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the guardian of Uzumaki Kushina.

This plot is that Uzumaki Kushina is kidnapped by Kumogakure, and then Namikaze Minato rescues her.

This was also the beginning of their love.

But Xia Zhi didn't expect that his father would be involved.

And he was the only one who died in Konoha.

Although the person was killed by the Kumo ninja, his father died because of Uzumaki Kushina.

It's as if Naruto was used as a container to seal the Nine-Tails, but people still call him a demon fox brat.

This is an emotion called anger.

But Xia Zhi is a human being after all, and can suppress it with the self-control of an adult.

He took a deep breath and slowly suppressed the anger in his heart.

In other words, moved to where it should go.

"Yunyin Village, right? I remember it!"
