Chapter 46

Kakashi brought Leaf to where Naruto lived. It was an ordinary apartment,

As soon as he opened the door, he could see smoke and dust everywhere,

The ceiling was also full of cobwebs,

The corner was also piled with dirty clothes and household garbage.

The living room was full of dirty and worn-out toys,

They looked like they had been picked up from the garbage dump.

Further inside was the bedroom. Although the window was facing the sun and ventilated, the room still emitted a strange smell. The quilt on the bed was wrinkled into a ball, and its original color could no longer be seen.

Leaf even saw a nest of little mice crawling in and out under the cabinet beside the bed.

This was Naruto's home.

The girl's brows furrowed into a ball,

She endured and endured,

In the end, she couldn't hold it in,

A fire burned down the dilapidated apartment.

This place was remote, and because Naruto lived here, on the surface, there was no one else in this single apartment building other than him.

Naruto was still young, so he couldn't run too far,

So he usually only played around his home.

Leaf's guess was right,

The toys in his house,

They were indeed picked up from the garbage dump,

Not far from where he lived, was the only garbage dump in Konoha,

That was also the place where Naruto liked to go on a daily basis.

He didn't have money, even if he did,

No one was willing to sell things to him,

So that garbage dump..,

Was a good place for him to explore and search for things.

The son of the fourth generation, the Kyuubi Jinchuriki, he should have inherited the glory left behind by his father and him. He should have lived as the son of a hero and as the future star of hope.

Reality was always unsatisfactory.

Used to the respect of the villagers for ninjas, Naruto's dream was also to become a ninja, hoping that the villagers who seemed to despise him would treat him better.

Yesterday, he found a few wooden kunai in the garbage dump. Today, he wanted to look for them again, hoping to find more ninja-related things.

Sure enough, he found another wooden sword today. Just as he was happily rushing home, he heard a loud noise coming from the direction of his house. Then, he saw flames engulfing the sky in front of him.

Someone stepped on the flames as he approached. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. His glass-like eyes were filled with an endless fury that could not be extinguished by the raging flames.

However, this anger disappeared without a trace the moment he saw him.

Naruto was stunned on the spot, but he couldn't take another step forward. He looked into the eyes of the person who came, his heart beating wildly, and his blood flowing.

"Naruto."

The person's voice was so gentle.

Other than the third generation leader, it was the first time he heard someone call him by his name, instead of calling him "monster" or "Son of the Fox Demon."

"... Mom? mom?"

He said.

"If you want to call me that, you can, but I am your aunt, your father's sister."

She knelt in front of the child, held his face with both hands, and helped him wipe the stains on his face. After carefully looking at him for a while, she took him into her arms.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I will be with you in the future, okay?

Can you forgive me? "

Without the spiky short hair and the beard on his face, Naruto looked exactly the same as her brother when he was a child. Leaf didn't dare to look at his face again. She was afraid that she would cry, but she didn't want to cry in front of this child at all.

The tears of adults will make children feel overwhelmed.

But children don't need to care so much.

Leaf felt the wetness on her shoulder. The child in her arms was stiff like a piece of wood, and then he trembled violently. That kind of violent trembling, even if Leaf hugged him tightly, he still couldn't stop.

"You, you are also a fox demon?"

He asked like this.

Leaf was surprised. She didn't think that his first sentence would be this, but it was also this sentence that made her fully understand how embarrassing this child's situation was.

"No, I'm not."

She quickly denied his question, and then said, "Let's leave here first, and then I will explain this matter to you.

Is Naruto willing to live with me in the future?

There are many other brothers in the family, they all like Naruto very much, and also want to live and play with Naruto. "

Leaf felt that he suddenly reached out and hugged her neck, tightly, and then suddenly relaxed, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

"Brother... is he your child?"

"In a way, yes."

Leaf didn't deny it. This answer not only made Naruto feel nervous, but also made Kakashi, who was like air behind them, feel his heart tighten.

Her child?

The ones in This Pill?

"But you don't have to worry, in my heart, Naruto will always be the most special one."

Only then did the child relax a little.

He withdrew from her embrace. As soon as he left her embrace, the surrounding heat wave rushed towards him, but he didn't notice this, and only focused all his attention on her.

He tightly stared into her eyes, looking like a stubborn little beast.

"Are you really willing to take me in?"

Leaf rubbed his fluffy head. That spiky short hair was especially soft to the touch.

"I'm not taking you in, I'm taking you home."

Naruto didn't argue anymore.

Leaf picked up the child, and then jumped over Konoha with him, speeding in the direction of This Pill.

Naruto rested his head on her shoulder, watching the fire behind him get farther and farther away. The flames rolled, as if they could burn everything.

The young him couldn't understand his thoughts and feelings at this moment, he only knew that looking at the flames made his heart feel comfortable.

It wasn't until many years later that he understood that feeling.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he was reborn from the ashes.

From today onwards, he received a new life.

.

Because of what Leaf had said just now, and the tone of her voice that said that no one else would be able to find This Pill, Kakashi had been paying attention to the changes in the surrounding scenery on the way to This Pill for the second time.

But no matter how he looked, he felt that this was just the edge of Konoha. Even if she didn't lead the way, he could still find his way there.

The strange thing happened halfway, when he was jumping on the trunks of the giant trees in the forest. At a certain moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He stopped for a moment, looked back, and found that the scene behind him was not what he had just memorized.

This strange phenomenon made his pupils shrink.

Leaf noticed it, and also stopped. She turned around on her toes, and looked at Kakashi, and said, "Did you find something? You're quite sharp."

Kakashi didn't answer, he revealed his eyes under his forehead protector, and the Magatama in his blood-red eyes quickly rotated, but he found that this was not an illusion at all.

Only then did he look at the girl in front of him.

Leaf noticed his Sharingan, she was a little curious, looked at it carefully, and felt that it was a pity.

This is known as the first Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world, although it can bring benefits to Kakashi, it also limits his room for development.

In the past, Konoha's White Fang, even if he faced the elites of the Uchiha clan, he would never be defeated, and according to White Fang, his son, Kakashi, has more potential than him.

But now, Kakashi can only be regarded as neither fish nor fowl.

However, despite this, he is still one of the top forces in Konoha.

Leaf felt that it was a pity.

If this person can become her help in the future, she might be able to help him.

"What is your purpose?"

Kakashi asked, he was afraid that the girl in front of him would go to extremes.

This is the village that his teacher sacrificed his life for, even if the other party is his teacher's blood relative, he will never allow the other party to cause the slightest damage to this village.

"This is the village that my brother left behind, my purpose is naturally to protect it."

She said it as a matter of course, and Kakashi clearly saw that there was no falsehood in her eyes.

"But look, what is this village like now?"

She looked into the distance, although she couldn't see the scene in Konoha's village from here, she could still imagine what the village is like now.

Peaceful, stable, shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, it looked hazy and beautiful.

But in her eyes, the dazzling golden red sunset was like a flame, enveloping the entire Konoha in it.

One day, this place will turn into ashes, just like Naruto's apartment.

"You are in the Anbu, can't you feel it at all?"

Kakashi was startled, then lowered his eyebrows and no longer spoke.

Of course, he knew what the current Konoha is like, but some things, knowing is one thing, and wanting to change is another thing.

The current him doesn't have the ability to change.

"You want to... do this?"

"Kakashi, you know, the older a person is, the more confused they are." She pointed to her head: "You can't imagine the day when the third generation leader does bad things, right?

Then you can't count on those people to be good. "

"In that case... well, Naruto, let me ask you, if there is a big tree, and a branch on the tree is sick, and that disease is contagious, what should we do at this time?"

"Burn the tree?"

Naruto's mind was still thinking about the fire, so he gave this answer without thinking: "This way, the disease won't spread to other trees in the forest, right?"

"Hahahahaha... you are right!"

She laughed heartily, and then as if she remembered something, she suddenly took out a few lollipops from her pocket and gave it to him: "This was made by the big brother in This Pill, the big brother can also make a lot of delicious food. In the future, Naruto can eat anything you want to eat, you can ask the big brother to make it for you."

"Wow!"

Leaf teased Naruto, and no longer gave Kakashi time to think, she lifted her feet and rushed to This Pill.

Kakashi subconsciously followed her.

"My goal is probably to become your boss."

Her voice came from the wind.

Kakashi's eyes sank, and he hesitated several times, but in the end, he chose to remain silent.
