Remnant bones

Turning his head, he looked at the clock in the street shop, it was exactly twelve o'clock at noon—it was exactly on time.

"...Pfft!" I covered my mouth and turned my face away, I would never admit it... I actually laughed?However, it really is a young man~ various physiological functions are in the most vigorous period of life, isn't there a saying: eating is a blessing.

"Don't laugh!!!" There was another chorus, and the two little guys glared at each other: "Don't talk like me!"

"Heh...hehe..." It's over, these two... really match up unexpectedly!I really couldn't hold back, I was completely amused by these two brats.If Junmalu and Chongwu can have this kind of tacit understanding, I will have a lot of fun in the base~ Unfortunately, that little guy was "taught badly" by me, with a sullen face all day long, and Another stupid big man with only a son honestly doesn't know what rebellion is.

Children~ They should be as energetic as they are.

Sasuke and Naruto, by coincidence, wrinkled themselves into bun faces, but tightly pursed their mouths, refusing to speak again.So as not to make jokes again, let others watch the show.

Staring dissatisfiedly at the pure white figure who couldn't stop shrugging, it's not that he didn't want to argue, but that through the gap where the snow-colored hair slipped down accidentally, that face that was different from the usual indifferent expression, at this moment, was filled with They were so full of smiles that they couldn't help but stare in a daze...the flushed cheeks seemed to be marching from tomato to eggplant.

This man... is really beautiful and unreasonable! ——Sasuke covered his face in a gesture, but he never looked away.

...is he really a man? ——Naruto opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to find evidence that the other party was lying, but unfortunately found nothing.

"Why are you in a daze?" After sorting out my emotional out of control, I lowered my head, only to see that the two brats who were confronting each other before were actually in a state of letting go.He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, brushed his bangs to the back of his head, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Hungry..." Following the sound of "gurgling" coming from their stomachs, the two nodded subconsciously.This time, they had absolutely no motivation to continue the dispute... No matter what, things were not in a hurry.The most important thing now is to fill my dry belly.

"Sasuke, you chose ramen before..." Just not far in front, is the ramen shop that was discussed earlier - "Yi. Le", the name should be correct.

Before Naruto could see the excitement in his eyes, it showed on his face.

Sasuke interrupted me, and firmly vetoed: "No! I want to eat barbecue now!" After finishing speaking, he did not forget to smirk at the other party with a smile on his lips.

The little fox glared angrily, but also knew that he had no right to make a decision, so he could only try to threaten the other party with his eyes to change his mind without saying a word!

"Oh~? If that's the case..." I intentionally raised the ending, and seeing the vivid and diametrically opposite expressions on the faces of the two people, I made a final decision out of spite: "You seem to have forgotten one thing ——I am the last one to pay the bill.” Therefore, deciding where to eat depends on my mood.

"Your barbecue will be next time~" Like Itachi, I flicked on the little black cat's head, and I turned around to lead the way: "I've already arrived here, so there's no reason not to give it a try." The little fox entertained me very well, let him just once, and I still have a chance to make up for Sasuke.

"...Cut!" Touching his forehead, Sasuke followed up awkwardly with red ears.

As for the "idiot who only knows about ramen noodles" in his mouth, he cheered a long time ago, jumped up and down and ran in the front, not forgetting to turn around and make a provocative face at him from time to time.

The small shop is not big, it is just a common mobile vendor, but it is cleaned and wiped very clean, giving people a very comfortable and friendly feeling.

We sat down one by one at the dining table. The boss was a middle-aged man with a friendly face. When he saw us, he greeted us warmly: "Welcome~ Huh? Isn't this Naruto! I came here with your friends? What do you want to eat~ "

"He and I are not friends!" Subconsciously opened his mouth to argue, no surprise, now the two of them are too lazy to start a war with each other, and neither of them just stared at the teacup in front of them.

"Haha~ Your relationship is really good!" Seeing this scene, the boss said with a smile, not surprisingly, he got the supercilious eyes of the two little guys who questioned their eyes - which eye do you see that they have a good relationship?But he didn't get angry because of this, he just smiled and shook his head, with a look of knowingly asking, but he also knew that he couldn't get an answer from them, so he had to turn his eyes to me.

"A special ramen." I looked at the menu on the wall and said, "Others, if you don't choose, I don't mind saving myself some money."

"Extra-large miso ramen! I want four... three bowls!" Naruto immediately shouted with interest, really hesitated halfway, sneaked a glance at me, and changed it a little bit.

It’s a miracle that you eat so much, but you didn’t see you develop into Choji’s body shape... Looking at a “pig” and glancing at a certain fox that was born in the wrong place, Sasuke said coolly: “Tomato beef Hand-Pulled Noodle."

"Okay~ It will be ready soon, please wait a moment." After wiping his hands with a wet towel, the boss saw the middle-aged man who was the chef and replied with a smile.Then, he started working on the simple stove behind the table.

We didn't have to wait long, and three bowls of noodles were placed in front of each other.

Naruto was already ready to eat a big piece before the noodle bowl was dropped on the table. He picked up the chopsticks and devoured it in a burst, which was mixed with a few indistinct clicks of admiration, and the noodle soup splattered everywhere.

And Sasuke said "want" to eat barbecue, but in fact he couldn't wait to start it. Judging from his involuntary squinting eyes after taking a bite, it was still in line with his appetite.

As for me, who is not very picky eater, I don't have the unique ability to make myself full just by watching other people eat.

Take a bite slowly and put it in your mouth. The texture of the noodles is quite strong, the soup is rich, and the ingredients at the bottom of the bowl are generously piled up in a thick layer.It's no wonder that the little fox can't forget this place, the taste is really good.

Although they didn't have the habit of eating without talking, the mouths of the two little guys were so busy with their own lunch that they didn't intend to speak at all.And being quarreled by them all the way, this time is probably the quietest time since they met... I am not interested in making trouble with myself.

So, the lunch time passed safely.

"Hi~" Hiccup, Naruto patted his bulging belly, and smirked at the empty bowls on the table: "So full, so full~" If there is no treat from Mr. Iruka, he only It is estimated that the rest of the food expenses can only be solved by instant ramen.

Good luck~ The little fox narrowed his eyes in happiness.

"I'm done eating." Sasuke folded his palms together and muttered in a low voice, before putting down his chopsticks.

Although I learned all kinds of dining etiquette in my previous life, Japanese style is naturally included.It's just that I don't have this habit, unless necessary.I rinsed my mouth with tea, and before the two natural enemies started their second attack, I resolutely paid the bill and distracted them: "I don't have anything else to do in the afternoon anyway, how about going sightseeing with me? Sasuke, and ...Naruto?" For the sake of my own ears, I would rather spend my money to eliminate disasters~

Moreover, it can be considered to be added to the bill that will not be cut. The reason is: How about [necessary leisure allowance along the road]?

"Okay! I'm familiar with this place~" The little fox had obviously forgotten his original purpose, and rushed out for fear that Sasuke would be the first to do so.

But Sasuke didn't reply, but jumped off the chair with a little embarrassment, and followed slowly.God knows, except for the gathering place of the Uchiha clan and the school, he rarely wanders outside. Although he knows where the shops are, he is really not familiar with them.

"Sasuke?" Rubbing his little head, I urged softly: "Don't think so much, it's rare to have time, and there is a free tour guide... just have fun."

"...Yeah." Sasuke smiled and responded.

"Hey~" Naruto, who found no one behind him, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, you two! Don't take your time~"

"Dead fox, you are the one who rushed to reincarnate!" With a sneer, the little black cat quickly caught up.

I watched the two little guys quarreling with each other. Apart from being helpless, it was more of a joke.What a happy couple... Although this word doesn't seem to be suitable to describe the two boys.

However, only a carefree "peaceful village" like Konoha can retain the purest feelings of these children... Even if such "peace" is as fragile as bubbles and full of unrealism, it is still It's also undeniably enviable.

Even if it is false, but if Jun Malu could be born in such a place... perhaps, all the tragedies that have happened before will not happen.

And I won't be "here" either.

However, in this world, if, it will never be realized.

️

Time always comes in a hurry, but also in a hurry.

Unknowingly, the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the entire town in a hazy golden halo.In the sky, there is a magenta as brilliant as blood, at the junction with the dark curtain of stars, the purple of the enchanting breath, with a hint of illusory coldness and evil that does not belong to the world...

I remember that I seem to have heard that dusk is the so-called "moment of encountering demons" - at this time of day, monsters will come to the human world through the place where the human world connects with the demon world, that is, where the sun passes away, wandering, At the same time, it symbolizes that the dark night belonging to ghosts and monsters is coming.

It was a carnival night where humans were not allowed to participate, only elves sang and danced.

I don't know if there are such legends in this world full of unknowns, but such a blood-red magnificent sunset is not so much the reflection of the sun's residual color, it's more like... more like a blazing flame burning the night sky, it's blood and fire blend.

I couldn't help frowning slightly, the unspeakable chill made me tighten my robe subconsciously.I don't know if it's my illusion...I always feel that this kind of "peace" seems to be burned to ashes by fire in the near future.

Foreboding...

"Gege the army ant, you're cutting and shooting (Brother Jun Mai, what are you looking at)?" With a bunch of rock candy tomatoes in his mouth, Sasuke walked around in front of me with a pack of snacks, tilting his head and slurring his speech asked.

"There's nothing over there except the sun~ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Naruto said with a face full of sauce after biting the last octopus ball in his hand: "What's so interesting~ Do you want to eat this? It's great!"

"No need. There is really nothing, I just suddenly remembered that it's getting late, let's call it a day." After all, the dinner time has passed, and if you don't let the little black cat go back, Itachi will come out to settle accounts with me "Sasuke, your brother will be worried if you go back late."

"I know~ But, aren't you here, Jun Mai? It's okay~" Although he knew it was getting late, he still didn't want to go back.

The atmosphere of that home has become farther and farther away from the warmth of the past... He doesn't want to go back.

"No." I refused without hesitation. I tapped his little head and warned in a slightly stern tone: "If you want to stay out at night, you can talk about it when you become an adult!" He is just pretending to be himself now. Just a "big kid" who is about to grow up.

"...I know." Chilling, Sasuke turned his head unwillingly and said.As annoying as that goofy Naruto is, there's no denying that today was the happiest day he's ever played.He just didn't want it to end so early.Next time... I don't know when I will have such an opportunity.

Moreover, brother Jun Maiyi is not from the village, this place is not his home.

"So, where is Naruto?" It's not that I didn't notice the loss in his eyes, but I pretended I didn't see it for the time being, and turned to another little golden retriever and asked, "Do you want me to take you back?"

"No~ I live near here... Ah! I almost forgot!" Naruto didn't show his nostalgia, but he just answered with his usual smirk, but he suddenly recalled it halfway through the sentence. An important matter happened, and he looked at me with a serious face: "Brother Hui Ye, please accept me..."

"I refuse." Before he finished speaking, I responded decisively and abnormally.

Little fox, weeping.So simply...

"Why? Do you think I'm too stupid? Or something else, I can change it!" He really wanted to become stronger, to gain everyone's approval, to become Hokage...to get what he wanted thing.And the premise of all this is to gain power, a power so powerful that no one can ignore it.

Brother Huiye is obviously so strong...why wouldn't he accept him?

"My things are not suitable for you, and you don't need them." I motioned him not to get excited, and I said slowly, "Besides, you still have things to do before then."

"Things? What things to do?" He didn't know.

"Know yourself." I touched his forehead lightly with my fingertips, and I said in a low voice, word by word: "Knowing you in the past, what you have lost and what you have gained; knowing you now, want to What do you want, what do you yearn for; what will you know in the future, what will you do, and what will you become.”

"What do you mean?" The jerky and incomprehensible words made Naruto, who has never thought too deeply about things, look at me in confusion, puzzled.

I had expected such a result a long time ago. I was not surprised. I just withdrew my hand and smiled slightly: "I don't expect you to understand the meaning of this sentence at this time. You just need to remember one thing—no matter what you do in the future What kind of existence do you become, before that, you are 'Naruto Uzumaki' first."
