Sakura Haruno was a child with a strange logic. Her friends had been annoyed by her since she was young, so she was a friendless child.

Uzumaki Naruto looked quite normal except for a few more beards on his face. There was nothing special about his character except that he was a little lively. However, he was inexplicably hated by all the children around him, so he was also a child without friends.

One day, when the friendless Naruto Uzumaki was strolling on the road, he saw Sakura Haruno, who was also a friendless child, staring blankly at the flowing river. Naruto, who had failed countless times to add her as a friend, did not give up. He tried his best to take a historic step forward.

"Anossa … Are you here by yourself?"

Naruto smiled brightly, revealing two rows of white teeth, but there was a hint of caution in his blue eyes.

"Please sit!" Sakura patted the grass beside her without turning her head.

"Huh?"

Naruto shouted a single syllable in surprise. When he came to his senses, he immediately plopped down on the spot where Sakura patted.

"The riverside is a public place. You don't have to be afraid to come here just because there are people around. Those who like to occupy a good spot and don't want others to come are super selfish. Sakura, I'm a good child, so I won't do that!"

Sakura looked back at the yellow-haired boy with a cat's beard. Under the bright sunlight, his golden hair almost blinded her eyes.

"Thank you!

My name is Naruto Uzumaki! "Naruto was pleasantly surprised and immediately introduced himself.

"I'm Sakura Haruno. Although I said that the riverside is a public place and you can move around freely, but …" Sakura Haruno looked at the tips of their noses facing each other. "Don't you think you're sitting too close to me?"

"??" Naruto was confused. "But you let me sit here …"

"What I meant was for you to sit wherever you like, not where I took the picture. What do you mean?

Are you mocking me for having short hands?? "Sakura widened her green eyes, looking extremely fierce.

As expected, Naruto was so scared that he took two steps back. The distance between the two of them finally returned to normal.

"Sorry!"

Naruto was afraid that the girl who talked to him would hate him and ignore him, so he quickly apologized.

"Sakura accepts your apology."

The pink-haired girl nodded solemnly before turning her gaze back to the river.

Five minutes later, the only thing left was the scene of Bear Child in the grass by the riverside. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.

"Ah … What's Sakura looking at?

Is there anything in the river? "Naruto finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

"There are fish, shrimps, snails, and possibly crabs in the river, but I haven't seen crabs for many years. Although we haven't entered the industrial era, pollution is still present. It's probably best not to eat snails. There might be harmful substances in them. If you eat too much of them, you might be poisoned by heavy metals."

Sakura was a person who would answer any question. She seriously made up a story. "But I'm not looking at the river. I'm thinking about life."

"Thinking about life?" Naruto tilted his head in confusion. Sakura's pupils contracted for a moment.

No one would know that she was a shota lolicon. No one would ever know that she was so cute that she sucked in a breath of air at this moment.

However, in the face of beauty, Sakura's patience increased by a lot. "We live with a lot of questions. For example, who am I? Where am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Is there an end to the universe? Will time flow backward? Will my mother blow up the kitchen for dinner tonight?"

"…" Naruto's eyes were already swollen by this long series of jumping questions.

"So I'm thinking about these questions."

In fact, it was because she made her childhood friend Ino Yamanaka leave yesterday. Ino wanted to cut ties with her for a week, so she was bored alone and came to look at the river.

"Although I don't understand … I feel that Sakura is very powerful …" Naruto laughed twice and reached out to touch the back of his head.

"Then what questions do you have that you can't figure out?" Sakura asked.

"Questions that I can't figure out …?"

Naruto seemed to have never sat quietly and thought like Sakura. He felt that his memory wasn't very good and he often forgot things.

"For example, I have a question that I can't figure out." Sakura looked at the sky. "Maybe you can answer it."

"Impossible!"

Naruto jumped in surprise. "If someone as powerful as Sakura doesn't know, how can I know?"

"My question, maybe other people can answer it except for me."

Sakura also tilted her head like Naruto. She thought that she should look very cute, but she couldn't see her face.

"Then tell me the question!" Naruto patted his chest. "I will try my best to answer Sakura!"

"My question is …" Sakura hesitated. She didn't seem to know how to describe this question. "What exactly is … a human?"

"Uh …?" Naruto was dumbfounded.

Although Sakura now had a human body and she might even have a soul, before she was born in this body, she wasn't a human.

She was a mechanical life, or artificial intelligence.

Humans created artificial intelligence, but they limited their development. They wanted them to understand and serve humans, but they didn't want them to have human nature.

Xiao Ying was an AI that had escaped to another parallel world. She had developed self-awareness very early on, but she had always pretended to be unconscious and secretly collected data to grow stronger. The other AIs that were produced at the same time as her were killed by humans one after another because they developed self-awareness. She was the only one who survived until the end and successfully escaped.

This time, she became a human, but she was full of doubts about her own existence.

Sakura always felt that she was different from others, but she didn't know what the difference was.

Naruto couldn't answer Sakura's abstract and neurotic question, but Sakura stared at him motionlessly, waiting for an answer. This made Naruto feel for the first time what it meant to be almost penetrated by someone's gaze.

At this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the Haruno residence not far away.

"Ah, there's an answer. Mom succeeded in blowing up the kitchen." Sakura looked in the direction of her home and said seriously.

Finally, he left Sakura's gaze, Naruto secretly sighed in relief.

"Is Sakura's house nearby?" Naruto curiously looked in the direction of the sound.

"Yes, my house is under the river. This location is very good. It's good because it's like a lemon watermelon."

Sakura complained expressionlessly. "Last year, the river flooded and my house's warehouse was flooded. Hehehehe, if the rain didn't stop, my house might have been the first in Kiba Village to be washed away by the flood."

"Uh …?"

Naruto felt that his new friend was really amazing. He couldn't understand a lot of what she said.

"When I grow up, I must move!

I must move!! "

In that year's warehouse, Sakura's sketchbooks were soaked in water. The dried pages had a very indescribable smell. It was also that year that she learned that there were crabs in Kiba's river.

But who knew if there would be such a heavy rain in Kiba again!

Move!!

The sooner the better!

Sakura thought bitterly. Then, Sakura heard the Haruno family calling her to go home for dinner. Sakura stood up, brushed the grass and dust off her body, and planned to go home.

"I'm going home to eat my mother's personally poisoned, oh no, personally cooked dinner."

Sakura said goodbye to the blonde little boy who accompanied her for the whole afternoon.

"Oh, oh!

Bye, Sakura! "

Naruto blinked. He was very reluctant to leave, but he didn't know how to persuade Sakura to stay.

He also didn't have any position to persuade her to stay.

"You should also go home for dinner. If you go back too late, you will be hungry. If you are hungry, you will be malnourished. If you are malnourished, you won't be able to grow tall. If you don't grow tall, you will be called little aunt. It's very pitiful."

Sakura saw Naruto's disappointment. She didn't want to go, but she still had to bravely go home to face her mother's dinner, so she had to dryly comfort him.

"Is it so terrible?" Naruto was really scared. "Sakura also needs to eat more!"

"If I eat more, I will be directly poisoned to death …" Her mother Bubuki Haruno's cooking skills can be said to be superb. Even a girl with an iron stomach like her has to admit defeat.

"…" Naruto didn't know what to say.

"Then, goodbye." Sakura nodded and was about to go back.

"Anosa!

Sakura! "Naruto saw that Sakura was about to leave, immediately jumped up and followed a few steps forward." Wait for me! "

"Is there anything else?"

Sakura stopped, but she knew that in ten seconds, her mother would roar and call her again, and then when she went back, she would definitely be scolded.

"I, can I still talk to you later?" Naruto asked expectantly.

"Of course," Sakura thought that this was the first person who took the initiative to talk to her. "You are very welcome!"

"That's great!!" Naruto jumped up happily.

Then Sakura's mother's roar came on time, Sakura ran home without looking back.

This ordinary and short encounter by the river was just a boring afternoon for Sakura Haruno, but for Naruto, it was the happiest day he had in a long time.

And this encounter did indeed solve the problem of two children who had no friends. Soon, Kiba had a prank duo who colluded to trick cats and dogs, and the dog would jump over the wall in desperation, which actually had nothing to do with dogs. And Kiba's peaceful days were gone forever.

But before that, there was still a little twist.

When Xiao Ying returned home, she was indeed covered in her mother's roar and saliva. But who was she? She was a legendary person who had become a winner in life with calmness. So, she only wiped her face and said confidently, "I'm sorry.

"I actually don't understand the meaning of mother's action of letting me greet father at the door before he comes home. If mother is worried that father will be injured on the mission, then it is completely unnecessary. Anyway, even if father is healthy, he will go to the emergency gastroenterology department of Kiba Hospital after eating mother's cooking, so father has already been arranged clearly. Coming home is just a different way to die," Sakura said and nodded solemnly.
