Hokage - Mirror Love

Itachi went out to be a Chunin mission, so Eri did not go to the small forest after school, but secretly followed the child secretly, and also knew his name, Uzumaki Naruto.

What a great name, it sounds like fish cakes in ramen.

However, Naruto doesn't seem to have any friends either. The children in the village who are around his age certainly don't know about Kyuubi, but they are probably influenced by adults, and none of them seem willing to play with Naruto.

Eri moved a few steps on the roof, then jumped down and landed behind Naruto, stretched out her hand and patted his head lightly, "Yo, Naruto."

Naruto seemed to be taken aback, turned his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression, suddenly seemed to remember something and pointed at her and shouted, "Ah, you were at the ramen shop that day..."

Before he finished speaking, Naruto showed a somewhat defensive expression, "What do you want to do?"

"..." Eri looked at Naruto who reacted like a startled little animal, and involuntarily reached out and touched his head, "I'll treat you to some ramen."

"Really?" Naruto's eyes suddenly burst into sparkling brilliance, and then quickly turned into vigilance, "Why?"

... Surprisingly simple, compared to Sasuke, who is about the same age as him, Naruto is so innocent.

Eri rubbed her chin, and decided to cheat directly, "Because I want to be friends with you."

Be moved, be so moved that you can't speak, she was so happy that she was about to cry.

"..." Naruto rolled his eyes, "Are you a human trafficker?"

……

Who said he was innocent just now!

In the end, because Naruto seemed to be extremely defensive towards her, Eri had to re-plan her plan of deceit and abduction. It is not acceptable to be nice to him directly and abruptly. You have to break through from the side, take your time, and don't be impatient...

How could Xiu not make it seem like she was the innocent one back then!

Or is he not as powerful as Itachi's personality?

From then on, Naruto's prank time began to decrease sharply, because his time was spent dealing with Eri, although he didn't understand why a girl not much older than him suddenly appeared and kept saying that he wanted to be friends with him, She kept tempting herself with ramen, gourmet food, and the delicious bento made by herself.

But she doesn't hate herself like other people in the village, instead she seems to be trying very hard to please herself, which makes Naruto feel very satisfied.

Naruto, who was still young, was afraid that once he agreed to Eri, she would no longer bring him food, and would never come to him again, so although he was very happy in his heart, he still had an awkward expression on his face. Expression, "What is your purpose?"

So Eri was depressed, she didn't understand why Naruto was still unwilling to accept herself in that environment, which was even more difficult than her back then.

You must know how much you longed for a friend at the beginning.

Could it be that she really doesn't look like a nice person?

Depressed Eri decided to give up this battle plan after insisting on it for a week. Let's discuss it with Itachi when he comes back.So she went back to her home directly after school that day and didn't go to Naruto.

When she was practicing avatar at home, she was startled by a loud thunder outside the window, and Eri quickly got up and closed the window before running to the bed to continue practicing seriously.

The rain outside the window made a tick-tick sound on the glass. Eri had just successfully completed the clone technique when there was a sudden knock on the door.

She subconsciously looked at the time, and it was past nine o'clock, and besides Itachi, Eri couldn't think of anyone who would come to her at this time, but Isn't Itachi on a mission, did he come back early?

Opening the door in doubt, Eri was a little surprised when she saw the wet Naruto standing outside the door, and then quickly found a towel and rubbed it on his head, "Why did you come to me suddenly? Did you not bring an umbrella?" ?”

In fact, what is even more strange to her is how Naruto found her home, because Naruto never asked, let alone came.

"Sister..." Naruto's blue eyes were a little dim at the moment, his head was lowered, and his voice was aggrieved, "You don't want me..."

"...Huh?" Eri didn't react, she looked at Naruto blankly, "But you are not..."

"I, I was wrong!" Naruto burst into tears, and stammered, "Actually... I am very happy, but I am afraid that if I say it... my sister will not come... "

What is the logic?Eri was a little speechless, but she still felt sorry for Naruto, so she took his hand into the room, "Anyway, I'll find some dry clothes for you to change into, it won't be good if you catch a cold."

Naruto nodded honestly, rubbed his red eye sockets with his hands, and stood in the room with some anxiety, looking around.

Eri dug out her childhood clothes from the closet, and handed them to Naruto, "Although they are my clothes, they shouldn't be too obvious when I wear them."

After all, she rarely wears skirts or brightly colored clothes.

Naruto didn't show any resistance at all, he took the clothes without saying a word and put them on, Eri sighed as he watched, is this the same Naruto who didn't want to talk to her before?

After changing clothes, Naruto looked at her a little helplessly, his eyes were full of uneasiness, Eri poured him a cup of hot milk and put it on the table, "Drink it."

Naruto nodded silently, holding the cup and sipping, Eri sat down casually, "You don't have to be so reserved."

"That..." Naruto asked cautiously, "Can I call you sister?"

"..." Didn't you say that just now?

Eri nodded speechlessly, and suddenly felt that she saw her past self in him.

Huh?Is this what he looks like from Itachi's point of view?Eri couldn't help biting her finger to remember, the more she recalled, the more embarrassing she became. It seemed that she would always rely on him involuntarily in front of Itachi. After all, Itachi was too mature and always gave her a feeling of being older...

Shaking her head back to her senses, Eri glanced out the window, "I'll take you back when the rain stops, okay?"

Naruto looked up at her, twisted his fingers and said nervously, "I don't want to go back..."

"why?"

"Because," Naruto's expression was a bit lonely, "Even if we go back, there will be no one at home."

...It's not good, right in one sentence, directly hitting the weak point, Eri already has the idea of ​​wanting to keep him.

"Sister, can I stay?" Naruto tentatively asked, "No?"

Oh my god, those pitiful little eyes!

Eri decisively extended her thumb, "Yes!"

Naruto, who was left behind by Eri, changed his previous indifferent and cold image, and became Eri's little tail. He followed Eri wherever he went, and he almost didn't follow him to school and the toilet. .

Although Naruto caused her a lot of trouble by sticking to her like this, Eri had to say that it felt good to be needed, at least she could clearly feel the meaning of her existence.

But there is a little bad thing, because Naruto always follows her, and some people in Konoha Village look at her with unfriendly eyes. Naruto grew up with this kind of gaze, but he is still a person in essence. Good boy, I don't mean to hate them at all.

But within a few days, an unexpected person appeared in her home, Eri awkwardly poured a cup of tea for Sandai Hokage who was sitting on the tatami, and placed it in front of him.

Although she currently receives living expenses from Sandai, this is the first time that Sandai has come to her home on her own initiative, and it is not yet the day to receive living expenses. Obviously, Sandai is here for Naruto.

"Eri, how are you doing recently?" Sandai asked in an old voice, taking a puff of cigarette slowly.

"Uh, it's pretty good..." Eri twisted her fingers a little cautiously.

"I heard that Naruto is living in your house." The third generation looked meaningfully at Naruto with puffed cheeks and dissatisfied face.

"...Yes, is there any problem?" Eri glanced sideways at Naruto, "He is very obedient, and I am also alone, so we can take care of each other when we live together, can't we?"

"No, that's not what I meant," Sandai smiled kindly while stroking his beard, "It's just that about Naruto...you must have heard of it."

"That's right, I know." Eri sighed, "Master Sandai, I don't mean anything else, I just take care of him by the way, if you don't think it's okay to do this, I'll let him..."

Before she finished speaking, Sandai hurriedly waved her hand and interrupted her, "Eri, I definitely didn't mean that, it must be a good thing for Naruto that you are willing to take care of Naruto." Saying that, Sandai stood up, "Then I won't bother you, and I will give it to you together with Naruto's living expenses in the future."

Eri got up and bowed respectfully, then heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Naruto beside her with a smile, "You can stay."

Counting the days, Itachi's mission is almost over, so Eri is ready to go out to the small forest after finishing the dishes, Naruto immediately changes shoes with him, "Sister, where are you going?"

"Well," Eri put on her shoes, "I'm going to meet my friend."

"My sister's friend?" Naruto was a little puzzled, he had been with Eri for so long, and he hadn't met Eri's friends, and sometimes Naruto would even think that his sister had no friends like him.

"You've seen that person before," Eri smiled slightly, "it was the person who ate ramen with me that day."

Naruto tilted his head and thought for a while, his memory was already a little fuzzy, he could only vaguely remember that it was a boy with black hair.

"Sister looks very happy today."

"Of course, because we haven't seen each other for a long time." Eri spoke with a slightly higher tone than usual, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in her eyes.

"But Naruto will stay at home today."

The corners of Naruto's mouth quickly collapsed when Eri said it next, "Why?"

"Well... because I have you, I can't hide." Eri squatted down and looked at him, then reached out and touched Naruto's head, "Okay?"

"Since my sister said so," Naruto pursed his lips a little aggrieved, "that's fine."

Briskly walking on the way to the forest, when approaching the clearing, Eri quietly hid her breath, skimmed over the trees more carefully than before, the sound of her feet landing was almost inaudible.

When looking at the open space through the gaps between the leaves, itachi really came to practice, and his chakra is very stable, which means that this is not an illusion, so this itachi is a real body?

Eri lurked behind the lush leaves and stared at him. After a long time, Itachi stopped and looked at her, "Eri?"

Eri was stunned for a moment, then jumped down from the tree with a smile on her face, and a few leaves floated down along the way, "You didn't find me the first time today, does this mean that I have made some progress compared to before?"

"Well, it's more difficult to detect than before." Itachi smiled slightly, "I heard that you really brought that child to your home?"

"Uh, Itachi knew so soon?"

"Someone told me just after I came back." As for the purpose of telling him, it was probably to remind myself to avoid contact with them, "What's the kid's personality like?"

"It's much better than I imagined." Eri tilted her head and thought for a while, "It's simply more obedient and sensible than children in normal families, but it's a bit clingy."

"I see." Itachi nodded, "If you say that, Eri's character is actually pretty good."

"My situation is not as miserable as Naruto's, and there is Itachi." Although he said so, Eri still asked happily, "Is it really good?"

"..." Itachi glanced at her, then looked away, "...I like it very much."

"I'm going to blush when Itachi says that~" Eri held her face in her hands and shook her head in embarrassment, then giggled.
