The sunlight outside the window was bright, proving that it was already the next morning.

The sunlight is reflected on the wind chimes, reflecting bright light; judging from the texture alone, this is not an ordinary decoration.

Sasuke swallowed.

I both want this to be real and fear that it is just an ornament.

But after hesitating for a moment, Sasuke decided to give it a try.

However, just as he was about to ring the bell.

"Bam—!"

The door of the ward was pushed open rashly, and the silly-looking Naruto jumped in, followed by a cheesy Sakura.

"Sasuke! Are you okay?"

Sakura threw herself at Sasuke like a madman, crying with tears in her eyes.

"Sasuke, what did you do yesterday? Which bad guy hurt you?"

Naruto also clenched his fists in indignation.

They only knew that Sasuke was injured and hospitalized, but they didn't know what exactly happened.

Simultaneously.

Kakashi was awakened and looked at Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura who were all fine.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that I was just too tired and had a nightmare...

"I'm fine, don't worry about me, just go!"

Sasuke was quite happy about the visit from Naruto and Sakura. They were his only friends in the village.

Just could you please not make trouble at the critical moment?

Sasuke, who is bent on revenge, now just wants to test the power of the wind chimes to see if he is dreaming?

"Enough!"

"Let Sasuke rest a little longer, everyone get out."

Kakashi picked up Naruto and Sakura and took them out of the ward together, preparing to let Sasuke have a good rest.

"Kakashi!"

Sasuke called out to Kakashi-sensei.

"Ok?"

"Has that guy been here?"

"Did you see it?!!"

Kakashi was shocked and naturally knew that Sasuke was referring to Uchiha Itachi.

But didn't they say Sasuke was unconscious the whole time? How do we know Itachi was there?

Could it be that he woke up quietly in the middle of the night?

"Sure enough, that bastard really came here!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger, his nails digging into his flesh, showing how much hatred he had for Itachi.

At the same time, he mistakenly took the illusion dream created by Xia You last night as reality.

"Don't think too much, just take a good rest first."

"The village has also stepped up its security and will no longer allow them to sneak in quietly."

Kakashi also knew that simple persuasion would be useless for such a blood feud, so he could only tell Sasuke to have a good rest first.

Then he left the room and prepared to get something to eat for himself and Sasuke.

"Kakashi-sensei, what happened to Sasuke?"

"Nothing, this is not something you should worry about. Naruto, don't you have to train with Jiraiya-sama today?"

"The lecherous immortal said he had to go outside the village to get materials, so he asked me to take a break today."

"Okay, then don't forget to practice. The current situation..."

"situation?"

"Don't worry. You did an excellent job last time..."

After Kakashi said a few words of comfort, he also left.

Naruto looked at Sakura, who was still standing outside the ward and was very concerned about Sasuke, and couldn't help feeling sour.

As expected, Sakura still likes handsome guys!

And I also lost the best opportunity last time because I had diarrhea after eating expired food.

Then, Naruto thought about Sasuke's inexplicable injury, and his mood became even lower.

I could only leave the hospital alone and feel lonely.

……

After leaving the hospital, Naruto walked alone on the street in despair.

I feel like I have no motivation to do anything.

I wanted to have a bowl of ramen, but I found out I had no money, so I had to give up.

As Naruto was walking, he suddenly noticed a figure beside him.

"It's you!"

Naruto was overjoyed. Looking at the masked, yellow-haired ninja who suddenly appeared beside him, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.

"Naruto..." Minato murmured, rarely not knowing how to start.

"You are the masked brother who saved me that day, right?"

"it's me."

"Thank you! And you are really amazing! This is the first time I have seen such an amazing masked ninja like you..."

Naruto was quite excited and expressed his sincere gratitude to Minato.

"No need to thank me, I just wanted to protect the village. And you are also very good. You can summon Gamabunta at this age..."

"You also know Boss Toad?"

"know……"

"Big brother, who are you?"

Naruto was extremely curious because Teacher Jiraiya said that there should be no other ninjas who had signed a contract with Myoboku Mountain, right?

Minato felt a pang in his heart and wanted to speak to acknowledge him, but he forced himself to hold back.

"I'm sorry. I'm an Anbu ninja and I can't reveal my identity casually..."

"Ah! I see. I shouldn't have asked that." Naruto touched his head, feeling a little guilty.

"It's okay. By the way...is that girl the one you like?"

"Sakura? Ah! How did you know?"

Naruto was embarrassed, his brain was still in a state of confusion.

"Why do you like her?"

"Ah this..."

Naruto felt a little embarrassed, but for some reason, when facing this yellow-haired older brother, he always had a sense of security and desire to talk.

So I confessed, "She's beautiful! She has the forehead and hair color I like... Even though she always hits me, I still like her..."

The corners of Minato's mouth beneath his mask raised slightly.

Is this guy really the same as me? They both like broad foreheads and beautiful hair...

Talk about it.

That girl Sakura is indeed similar to Kushina in many ways.

I can only say, is it true that my son’s vision is the same as mine?

"I see, but she doesn't seem to like you very much."

"I know……"

Naruto suddenly felt a little lonely. The passionate young man always had endless fantasies about the person he secretly loved, and this feeling of not being able to get what he wanted was really hurtful.

"Are you giving up?"

"No! I won't give up."

"Even if she doesn't like me now, she may not like me in the future."

"I, I will definitely become Hokage in the future! Then she will like me!"

Naruto said firmly, also trying to encourage himself.

"You want to be Hokage? That's a good goal! I believe you can do it!"

"Really? Are you willing to believe me? Except for Iruka-sensei, they all said I was bragging, rejected me, and said that I could never become Hokage..."

"Everyone rejects you?"

"Yeah! They always say that I'm a fox demon, and that I'm the culprit that killed everyone. I don't play with me much..."

"What about your parents?"

"No, I heard that he died when I was born."

"Don't you blame them?"

"I can't really say I blame them. After all, they are the ones who gave me life. It's just that sometimes I really envy my companions..."

Especially when he was a child, when everyone was called home by their parents for dinner, Naruto was left standing alone in the open space, homeless.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious or sad.

There are other children whose parents can always buy them all kinds of delicious food, but the coins in their pockets are often not enough to even buy instant noodles. How can we not be envious?

"I see... you seemed to have had a hard time as a child!"

Minato hummed, and it was impossible to tell whether his tone was sad or happy.

"It's a little bit."

"But I'm used to it!"

Naruto responded carelessly. He never bears grudges or complains about the past.

I have always had unlimited expectations for the future and am full of optimism.

"Gululu..."

Just then, Naruto's stomach growled, as if in protest.

"You are hungry?"

"A little……"

"Didn't you have breakfast?"

"Um... no money..."

"No money for breakfast? How could that be? This shouldn't be the case..."

Minato frowned slightly, smelling something wrong.

Not to mention his own huge death pension, Kushina's inheritance alone is an astronomical figure!

Any vortex sealing technique can be sold at a sky-high price.

There is also a big house left by my family, and a large amount of savings...

How come Naruto has no money?

"The village gives me a subsidy every month, and my grandfather from three generations ago often helps me. But it's barely enough to eat, and I still spend it recklessly from time to time..."

Due to the long-term hostility of the villagers, Naruto was quite rebellious when he was a child.

The limited subsidies were even used to buy paint to graffiti on the Hokage Rock to express their protest.

But in the end it’s because no one cares and also because we are too poor.

As a result, Naruto was hungry most of the time;

When Naruto is extremely hungry, he will run out of the village to go fishing, pick fruits, pick mushrooms to make soup...it's a common occurrence.

Although I don’t know which mushrooms are poisonous, I still eat them sometimes.

But for him, being able to fill his stomach is the happiest thing.

Naruto narrated in detail.

It seemed as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances and past in his heart. He had never told anyone about these childhood bitternesses, but at this moment he really wanted to confide them.

Minato had been listening and accompanying silently.

No opening, no interruption.

But a body full of terrifying and powerful chakra was rapidly condensing and soaring, as if it was about to break through the shackles of the flesh, and it also indicated that someone was about to be in trouble!
