Naruto: Naruto-chan's little childhood sweetheart?

However, after hearing Naruto's words, Iruka shook his head and spoke very quickly.

"Naruto, I have heard about Uchiha. I know that you are worried about the little girl Jian Li, but I want to tell you that it is not just you who are worried, I am also worried, because she is just like you. are my students.

Just now, I went to ask Mr. Hokage, and he told me that the little girl was not among the buried Uchihas. Although blood stains were found in classmate Jian Li's home, she was not found where she was. "

After hearing Iruka's words, the expression in Naruto's pupils increased a little more.

"Iruka-sensei...Thank you very much for the information!"

Iruka nodded. Although he knew that Naruto was in a hurry to find Jian Li, he still added.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I'll say it before. Even when things have gone to the worst direction, I hope you can control your emotions and don't waste yourself because of this matter. If Jian Li If your classmate learns that you torture yourself because of her, I believe she will also be angry with you.

Also, because you three skipped class without permission, you will be punished to wait until this matter is over to clean the toilets for a week! "

At this point, Iruka paused and added another sentence.

"Of course, the same goes for me, the incompetent teacher who left the other students behind and didn't teach them."

More than a week later......

Ever since he knew that Jian Li's body had not been found, Naruto would search around Konoha Village every time after school. Even Hinata persuaded her father to help her find someone, but she never found him.

Later, Shikamaru put forward his own guesses, such as whether Jian Li was taken away by someone, or whether he escaped outside Konoha Village that night in order to get rid of their pursuit, but because of the Due to the injuries he suffered, he was forced to stay outside and wait.

After hearing this speculation, Naruto began his journey of searching every day after school.

As the sun set, Naruto dragged his tired body back to the gate of Konoha.

The long persistence made the two doorkeepers admire him. Seeing him return alone again, out of sympathy, they couldn't help but whisper.

"Naruto, I went out looking for you all afternoon again."

"You've been like this for almost a week. You should take a break occasionally. Don't get exhausted."

Naruto gave them a strong smile back.

"Don't worry, this is just a piece of cake. I will definitely find Jian Li!"

After bidding farewell to the two of them, Naruto rushed to Jian Li's house without stopping.

Since he started searching, Naruto would go here every day when he came back. There were many reasons, but the most important thing was to have a look.

[Boom, boom, boom. 】

"excuse me."

Naruto knocked on the door as usual, walked through the entrance hall, and entered the living room.

Looking at the dark room in front of him, Naruto's expression dimmed a bit. After turning on the light, he followed his memory to the place where the blood stains were before and sat down.

"Jian Li, I searched the entire Konoha Village again today, but I still found no trace of you.

Hinata has told me before that you are not in Konoha Village, but I still want to give it a try, although every time my expectations are met.

After these days, Shikamaru, Choji, and everyone basically returned to their normal lives and stopped helping me search, but I know that they have done enough for me. After all, they are actually the same as you. There was almost no communication.

Although I don’t know why, I think and believe that you must not be dead. I just don’t know how you are doing now, whether you have enough to eat, and where you sleep at night..."

As he spoke, Naruto's voice gradually became softer and took on a crying tone.

"Ah...it's okay. I made a small tent by myself and I can catch fish every day. I'm just a little scared when I go to bed at night. After all, it's dark in the wild and there are mosquitoes and so on. But luckily it didn't rain~ "

"Really? It's really not good... eh?"

Suddenly, a slightly playful voice came into Naruto's ears. He subconsciously replied, but he quickly reacted and froze on the spot.

The next second, Naruto stood up suddenly and looked back in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Because, what appeared in front of him was the girl he had thought about countless times day and night.

Jian Li blinked her eyes and smiled slightly cutely.

"Long time no see, did you miss me?"

"Jian Li? Is it really...you?"

"Who else could I be if you're not talking about this? I don't have a twin sister...?!"

Jian Li was complaining when she suddenly felt a tightness in her waist, and then she was pulled over by Naruto and held tightly in his arms.

"Huh?! Σ(//?//)"

The sudden move caused a blush to appear on Jian Li's face, and she subconsciously pushed him.

"Wait, what are you doing? The little pervert who hasn't been seen for a long time can't control his mind?!"

Naruto's face was full of excitement, his arms tightly hugged the girl in his arms, he shook his head vigorously and choked with sobs.

"No...no, that's great. You're okay. I miss you so much. I've been looking for you for a long, long time. I almost...almost thought you were dead."

Ah...it does seem to have taken a long time...

Jian Li stopped pushing and listened silently to Naruto's crying. After he couldn't speak anymore, she patted his back with her hand.

"Okay, okay, am I okay? Stop crying and wait~"

After comforting the little boy who was hugging her, Jian Li told him the words she had prepared.

After hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"It means that you were forced to flee outside Konoha Village by the person who wanted to kill you that day, and then accidentally got lost, and you have been groping for it until today?"

Jian Li nodded.

"Yes, he was chasing him so closely that I didn't dare to look back at all. I didn't stop until I couldn't run anymore. I felt like I would run out of Konoha if I ran again."

"But...why didn't the two janitors notice you at that time?"

ah this...

The corner of Jian Li's mouth twitched, obviously she didn't expect Naruto to ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, she spoke.

"Uh... No, there is no way. They are too weak. Even I can easily escape under their noses, let alone a super genius like Itachi. I am doing this just to not drag them down~"

Naruto looked stunned.

"So this is ah……"

Seeing that Naruto believed it, Jian Li was secretly relieved.

Phew... It seems that this set of rhetoric is quite acceptable. After all, a lot of it is true...

Well... I actually thought about making up a story about not being there that day at the beginning, but it's okay to deceive a guy like Naruto who usually doesn't have an IQ, but for people like Shikamaru, the Third and Danzo, I'm afraid it's not. No more.
