[Naruto] I really don’t know how to use wood escape.

The cold river water is chilly to the bone. After staying in the water for a long time, you can feel the temperature losing little by little. It spreads into the river like blood, but it cannot warm the river water.

Naruto was lying in the water, and his fingers didn't even have the strength to make a fist. He thought, he wasn't going to die, was he?

It's so shameful to die like this.

At least as a hero, you should die calmly in front of everyone's attention.

Of course, the five-year-old Naruto still doesn't understand what a "hero" is. He only knows that since he is facing a monster like himself, a hero is probably good.

The village provides an orphan pension, but no one wants his money.

Over time, Naruto learned to cover his face to buy discounted instant noodles, instead of going to the wet market and feeling people's unlucky looks.

He longs to be a hero more than his peers.

But, but... he seemed to be dying.

The sky under the water was reflected in ripples, and my limbs were so cold that I felt a strange warmth, as if I was curled up in my mother's arms, protected from the wind and rain.

Just like in a dream.

Naruto didn't want this dream to break at first.

No matter what, let him experience the warmth of his mother before he dies!

If he dies like this, no one will care about him anyway.

Naruto vaguely felt a pair of hands grabbing him, as if his mother was dragging him to prevent him from going to the Pure Land, and then he fell into a gentle embrace.

Is that mom? So warm...

It wasn't until he left the icy waters and the blinding sunlight blinded him that he truly felt that he was alive again.

He sat up suddenly and spit out some water, then looked sideways at the person who saved him.

She is a beautiful big sister.

——Not mom.

Little Naruto was a little disappointed but also a little happy. It turned out that there were still people in the world who were willing to save him.

Hasn't she heard my name? Will she regret saving me? who is she?

Naruto looked at the big sister intently, trying to make her understand that he was actually the unpopular demon fox.

The girl's gaze had no focus - it turned out that she was blind.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be happy at the same time.

Will she accept me?

Naruto sensed Rong's lack of resistance, so he happily pulled Rong around and asked questions.

Until he was sent back to his residence, Naruto still clung to Rong reluctantly.

"Naruto? You're home."

"Thank you! Sister Rong! Can I come to you later?"

"Okay, I live at No. 32, just across the street from the Ninja School."

"Then can I come to you tomorrow?" Naruto spit out this question like a barrage of questions.

Rong looked back in confusion, "Naruto won't have class tomorrow?"

"I don't want to go to class..."

Naruto hesitated for a while, "No one likes me anyway..."

The voice became softer and softer as he spoke. If Rong hadn't been able to hear his inner voice, he might not have known what Naruto was talking about.

Rong squatted down and straightened Naruto's shoulders seriously, "No, Naruto, knowledge is a very precious thing, you must cherish it."

"But, I want to be a ninja! I don't want to learn things like history and mathematics!" Naruto's eyes were filled with yearning.

"Don't you need to learn knowledge to be a ninja? Then how do you know how to complete tasks and how to communicate with others using secret codes? Naruto, in my past, the price to pay for learning knowledge was extremely expensive. You may want to learn some secrets To learn literature, you have to sacrifice your soul or life. Now you can learn this easily, which is a very lucky thing." Rong patiently explained to Naruto, trying to change his idea of ​​not studying hard.

Naruto pursed his lips and did not dare to refute, "I understand, Sister Rong, please don't be angry, okay? I will study hard in the future! I will definitely take the first place in the exam, leaving the person named Sasuke far behind. of!"

One look showed that Naruto didn't listen at all.

"As long as you are willing to learn. Good night and bye, Naruto."

"Good night, Sister Rong. I'll come see you on the weekend!"

"Well, come upstairs quickly."

Although I didn't wait for the people I wanted to wait for, I got an unexpected reward.

I didn't expect to meet the son of the Fourth Hokage.

Sakae had heard of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato, who was a gentle and charismatic man.

He has a completely opposite personality to Tobirama.

Rong's body was still a little sticky, left behind after the river water evaporated.

She walked slowly back along the street. The dim light came out from the windows and doors of other people's houses, making her shadow longer. Mosquitoes flew and circled around the light, revealing an indescribable warmth under the moonlight.

It's just that among thousands of lights, there is no one belonging to her. Thinking about it, she feels pitiful and lonely.

Kakashi knew Rong's perception range and deliberately stood five meters away.

In fact, nothing happened. He just came to see Rong but happened to see Rong and his teacher's child.

In the past few years, due to guilt, Kakashi has never visited the child named Naruto. He did not expect to have such a hard time.

Kakashi knew that Jinchuuriki might suffer discrimination, and he also believed that as the son of a teacher, Naruto would be able to grow up from these discriminations, but these were just excuses he made after all.

Kakashi smiled sadly.

'Teacher Rong...'

Kakashi recited this title in his mind, his finger bones clenched until they turned white.

After all, it's just wishful thinking.

Kakashi took out a book by Jiraiya from his pocket, walked slowly and kept a distance, and secretly sent Rong downstairs, and did not leave until he saw her entering the door.
