Naruto You

Time passed in a slow form.

In those pursuits with him, he quietly missed a lot of life that could be spent together.

Uzumaki Naruto passed the Chunin exams shortly after Uchiha Sasuke left, and later became a Jonin.

After the waves, he finally moved forward step by step towards his established dream, but Sasuke Uchiha still disappeared without a trace.

Naruto didn't know how he was doing, whether he would appear again—or whether it would be worth being happy if he appeared again?

Uzumaki Naruto waited anxiously for the unknown with a firm and strong mentality. Although he didn't meet Uchiha Sasuke, his footsteps over the years can be regarded as spreading all over the place.

"Ah... bored to death."

Naruto squatted on the stone rock of the flower bed, looked at an old woman bending over to weed in front of him, and complained softly, "It's better to watch the clouds with Shikamaru."

"You can also see clouds here."

"You can't even see the clouds here, grandma Qianxuan, it's not like you don't know that your master will definitely come to me again soon."

Naruto sighed again as he spoke, his unaffected expression drew a slightly aged chuckle from Granny Qianxuan.

"That's true."

The place where Naruto Uzumaki is now is the backyard of a nobleman's house in the Land of Fire, and the old woman he calls Grandma Qianxuan is the old gardener of this nobleman's house.

Her red hair always makes Naruto think of his mother Uzumaki Kushina involuntarily, making it easy for him to treat her as a close person, so when he stays here for a few days, Naruto Sora would come to talk to her—as for why he was here, it was because of a boring power of attorney.

Ten days ago, the dignitary of the Land of Fire handed over a power of attorney to the Sixth Hokage in his personal capacity. The content roughly said that since the Princess of the Fire Land was going to visit the place under his jurisdiction, Uzumaki Naruto was entrusted to be in charge of the princess during this period. security issues.

It's just an excuse to talk about guards. It's not like the Princess of the Fire Country hasn't been out of the house for so many years. What catastrophe has she encountered that needs to be protected by a ninja of Naruto's level?

It's just because it will make people face a lot of face to invite the heroes of the Fourth World War, so the boring habit of entrusting Naruto Uzumaki slowly emerged among the upper class.

For those nobles who handed over such boring power of attorney, Kakashi would find a reason to refuse in most cases-but if the other party is a master who is not easy to fool, Kakashi will not let Naruto be vague. People work once.

After all, he still hoped that in two years, when Naruto grew up, he would abdicate and take a good rest, so it would not be a bad thing to take the opportunity to let Naruto learn how to make friends with those powerful people.

However, for Uzumaki Naruto, who has always been straightforward and unrepentant, under the banner of protecting the princess, his actual duty is almost for the upper-class nobles to watch. It is really unbearable!

Although I can't bear it--

"Mr. Whirlpool, you are here, your lord is waiting for you in the front hall!"

Still have to endure--

"Oh, I'll be right here."

After Naruto finished speaking, he made a grimace at Grandma Qianxuan, jumped off the flower bed, Shiyan, and left with the servant who came to pass the message. After all, he also understood what Mr. Kakashi meant—to be a Hokage, you have to learn it sooner or later. Dealing with these dignitaries, it is not bad to take advantage of these boring opportunities to "harden and hone".

As a result, Naruto, who wanted to "sharpen" himself, still couldn't hold back the impulse to neglect the noble employer—shortly after arriving in the hall, Uzumaki Naruto left in a hurry without having time to explain any reasons.

Because he felt some vaguely familiar Chakras, the location was in the backyard.

Although the feeling was slight, Naruto still rushed to the backyard without hesitation the moment he sensed it, and then just saw a mysterious figure in black clothes with a long black cloak and a big cap leaving and Grandma Qianxuan A picture of a sudden fall.

Naruto was about to catch up almost immediately, but still endured his anxiety, he stepped forward to help grandma Qianxuan who didn't know what was going on to check the situation, when he saw grandma Qianxuan's tired face and dull eyes, he suddenly fell I remembered Sasuke who got the Tsukuyomi illusion back then.

Coupled with the familiar Chakra that just faintly leaked——

Is it monthly reading?

Thinking of this, Naruto's heart skipped a beat. The person who had been missing for more than two years seemed to be standing next to him. The expressions in the memory and the mood when they were together became restless, nervous, panic, angry, pleasantly surprised, excited, and puzzled. , Tangled together and became anxious for unknown reason.

"The whirlpool... the shrine..."

Grandma Qianxuan's unconscious murmur interrupted Naruto's confused distraction. Naruto didn't hear clearly, thinking that the old man was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly bent his ears to listen, and then a few words were clearly transmitted to Naruto's ears. "... Shrine... Whirlpool... Shrine..."

Uzumaki Shrine?

Naruto, who was completely confused, was puzzled, and now he didn't have the mind to think about those brain-consuming things at all. Seeing someone rushing over to take care of the old man, he hurriedly chased after the place where the mysterious person disappeared.

In the following time, Naruto ran a long way chasing the breath that gradually faded and finally disappeared without a trace.

He almost tensed his nerves and subconsciously drove his body forward, and only when he completely lost his direction did he suddenly come back to his senses - then he remembered that he seemed to have a task, and he only completed half of it. Hey... …

The aristocrat, who was sent pigeons halfway, approached Konoha's sixth generation, expressed his dissatisfaction with an arrogant and half-true attitude, and appeased Kakashi, the employer, and called him over after Naruto Uzumaki returned to the village.

"So, Naruto, do you have an explanation?"

Hatake Kakashi sat behind Hokage's desk and looked at Naruto, the exposed eye was still half-open listlessly.

Naruto looked at Kakashi, didn't intend to hide it, and said directly, "Well, I... I seem to have met Sasuke, and then I didn't think too much about it, so I chased after him."

"Sasuke?"

Naruto nodded.

"Why do you say it seems?"

Naruto scratched his head, "Actually, I didn't see the face, I just felt that the breath was a bit similar, but I couldn't feel the similarity afterwards... and there is—"

Speaking of this, Naruto suddenly stopped, remembering that Sasuke left this time, the reason why he has not been wanted by Konoha so far is because it was announced that Sasuke had gone on a trip, and the Sixth Hokage, who was an insider, also clearly said , Once there is any bad thing about Sasuke, it will be judged as a traitor and ordered to be hunted down.

Concerned about this, Naruto began to hesitate, causing Kakashi to frown, "What else?"

"Yeah, maybe I got it wrong, Mr. Kakashi, it's not like you don't know, and I'm not smart, especially when it comes to the talent of recognizing identities without looking at faces—"

Kakashi interrupted Naruto's perfunctory.

"What else?"

He looked at him and asked again, insisting that he couldn't refuse, "Naruto, if it's okay, I won't put him on the list of traitors easily, don't worry, but you have to know-we should take care of it, no Just a Sasuke."

Naruto knew that Kakashi was referring to Sasuke's extreme character, who might do things that would harm people. In fact, he himself was always worried about this, so he nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth. "That mysterious man hurt an old lady, and I think the ninjutsu he used was... Tsukuyomi."

After hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Who is that old lady you're talking about?"

"Grandma Qianxuan, is she a gardener, right? Ah, um, it should be."

"Just an ordinary gardener?"

"Ah?" Naruto thought for a while, "I didn't see anything particularly different—ahh, I remembered, what Uzumaki Shrine was mentioned when she was unconscious!"

"Whirlpool Shrine?"

"That's what I said, Mr. Kakashi, is there anything at the Uzumaki Shrine?"

Kakashi shook his head, "I don't know, I just heard a legend about the Uzumaki Shrine by accident when I was on a mission, but it's a bit absurd, probably just a rumor, and now that the Uzumaki Clan no longer exists, the Uzumaki Shrine should be It can’t be found either.”

"What legend?"

"Probably the secret of the Uzumaki clan's longevity."

"Eh? Longevity? Well, I can't think of anything to do with Sasuke." Naruto grinned again, "Maybe I was wrong in my judgment, and longevity shouldn't be a bad thing, right? Right, Kakashi-sensei."

"Well, I don't have a clue right now. Don't speculate on the specifics. After a few days, when Grandma Qianxuan wakes up, I will send Anbu over to confirm with her."

When Naruto left the Hokage Tower, he felt a sense of loss and luck. Maybe he cared too much about the matter of recovering Sasuke, and was afraid that seeing each other would be better than not seeing each other...

Na na, Uchiha bastard, what a fucking mess to your uncle's heart!

Another week passed in the blink of an eye.

When Naruto Uzumaki received an emergency call from Kakashi again, he was chatting with Haruno Sakura in the Konoha Hospital, although he was punched hard from time to time, he was still itchy and kept thinking.

In the end, not everyone is the same as a childhood friend. For Naruto Uzumaki, he can sacrifice his life for everyone, but the most cherished thing is the seventh class where everything started.

He knew that Sakura, whom he liked when he was a child, still liked the Uchiha bastard as always, but he hadn't really thought about his feelings for Sakura in these years.

The way of getting along is like a habit of carrying on. He confessed his confession, and she gave her an iron fist, but no one really cared.

When he is free, he always feels the loss that was hidden when he was chasing hard.

Time went by too fast, and as he grew up, he understood a lot, but he always felt a kind of miss when passing through those important moments in his life.

People who have been chasing after as goals don't know where to go, and the kind of care that is also inherited like a habit can't find a specific point of force, has nowhere to store, and is flooded and lost.

Behind the people who can't be chased, a lot of time that can't be recovered is gradually lost. Even if he keeps working hard, for him, he can only chat with Sakura in his spare time these years.

"Hey, I thought I met him that day, but after chasing him for a long time, I found nothing!"

"Ahh! I can't bear it! If the bastard Sasuke is chased back by me this time, I must give him a good meal and wake up that bastard!"

When Naruto was complaining wildly, Sakura didn't speak, but lowered her head and smiled slightly. After the silence, the two often talked about the time when the three of them were together.

There are always some times, after passing, it becomes an unbelievable beauty in a lifetime.

So you who have been missing time, will you hate yourself after a long time.

"Uzumaki Jonin, the sixth generation wants you to go to the Hokage Tower quickly!"
