There are some things that I didn't care much about at the time, but I can't let go of them in retrospect, and Naruto is now in a situation like this.

The figure that had just been skipped by himself had been playing back in his mind, and he was warning himself that he was just another passer-by while he was more and more concerned, and he couldn't let it go.

If, if it is one of ten thousand, it is missed because of one's temporary exhaustion, then it will be regretted for the rest of one's life.

Don't think too much, I haven't encountered it for so many days, how can I miss this so coincidentally?

Before the two thoughts in his mind could fight to the end, Naruto's body had already made a move.

Back at the corner where I had seen the figure earlier, it was empty.

Before it was time to give up, with this in mind, I followed the footprints left on the snow. The tiny footprints were hard to find when they flowed into the street, and the passers-by overlapped their footprints so much that Naruto had to look in the direction of the tracks.

It wasn't until the intersection of the road that he finally couldn't find the figure that passed by, and Naruto, who felt even more tired, gave up the pointless search.

It would have been nice to go up and ask at that time.

Let's go to the next village tomorrow and look for it.

With that in mind, Naruto began to turn and pour back in the direction of the inn.

A slightly strong smell came, and when I looked at the source, a can placed in the alley for people to put garbage was overturned, and the culprit who knocked over the bucket was probably the street child who was putting up a confrontation with his opponent.

Pedestrians passing through this section of the road are speeding through, and it is more comfortable to leave here than to ask why they are knocking over the trash can to release the smell. But here Naruto found the figure he was looking for, the figure that was opposing the cat that was also wandering here in search of food.

After a 'fierce' fight, the cat was wounded and fled, and at the cost of multiple scratches, the tiny figure gained the right to 'eat alone' and began to look for dinner tonight in the barrel.

Naruto, who had been watching all the time, walked into the alley and disturbed his dinner, and as they looked at each other, Naruto knew that he had finally found the person he was looking for......

"Will you come with me?"

…………………………

Holding the hand that was only a little bigger than himself, he returned to the hotel under the gaze of passers-by like a plague god, fortunately the anger of the innkeeper was easily suppressed under the double price of the room, otherwise he would have to sleep out tonight.

"Let's go take a shower first. ”

He said to him, who was older than himself, but completely looked like a good child, and took out the velvet robe that the girl had prepared for herself from his package, and asked him to change it later.

Letting the other party hold his hand was already his limit, and if there was more contact with a filthy body like his own, it would definitely defile the other party, and he cowered away, letting his eyes not look at the gorgeous clothes and dazzling people.

"What's wrong?"

"I ...... I'll be fine with this dress......"

He pulled the shabby clothes on his body, showing that it was an item that matched his identity.

Put down the clothes in your hand and take out another simple piece of clothing that has been specially selected to make it easier to walk.

"Then you can wear this, the smell on your body is too big, change the clothes on your body, and I have something to say to you after washing. ”

The semi-coercive words made him subconsciously choose to obey, and picked up clothes that were luxurious even for him and entered the bathroom.

The warm feeling that I haven't been exposed to for a long time makes the eye sockets gradually moisturize, wipe the liquid from the corners of the eyes, and carefully clean your body to ensure that there is no trace of odor.

It took less than 5 minutes for him to change into his clothes and walk out of the bathroom, much to Naruto's surprise and puzzlement, and then a hint of clarity.

Pouring some of the unboiled water into the cup and letting the remaining warm water continue to heat up, Naruto sat cross-legged at one end of the low table while he came out of the bath and sat down across from Naruto.

Naruto sighed helplessly at the other party's respectful attitude, pushed one of the cups in front of him and said, "Drink some." ”

He took the cup like a treasure, and bowed to Naruto in an unusually respectful manner, "Thank you, sir." ”

Scratching his head sadly, he sighed again at the other party's behavior of tasting the featureless white water, and said, "Don't call it by strange names, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, just call me Naruto." What's your name?"

"Yes, sir. My name is Bai and my surname is ......" seems to have an unspeakable reason for his surname, and Bai chooses to remain silent about it.

Why Shiro didn't want to mention his surname Naruto also knew in his heart, since he had decided to abandon his original surname Naruto didn't ask. Pulling out all the silver tickets in the package, he placed them on the table, and explained to him in disbelief: "I'm glad you were willing to trust me and come with me without saying anything, but if you think about it, it may not be the best choice for you. ”

Pushing the silver ticket in his hand in front of Shiro, he said: "I'm a ninja, since I am a ninja, I can't escape the fate of a ninja, and in the whirlpool of strife and hatred, weak people don't even have the right to live, so I don't want you to step into this world if you can." There's some money here, not much, but you can use it to start a new life. You are still young, there are still many possibilities, and the future that belongs to you is still very broad, I hope you will think about it. ”

He put down the elixir in his hand and smiled like snow.

"My path was decided when I first met adults. ”

Naruto, who answered without thinking about it, felt his heart clogged, and sighed helplessly and put his answer aside for now, beckoning to him, "Don't rush to answer, think about it tonight, and give me an answer tomorrow." Before that, you come here. ”

The obedient didn't argue, and walked over to Naruto's side and sat down.

After being rinsed with hot water, the thin arm revealed its original white luster, but several horrific scratches destroyed the original beauty.

Wound medicine and gauze were removed from the empty package, and the scratches on the white hands were disinfected and bandaged.

"Let's take a break here tonight. ”

After bandaging the white, Naruto looked up at him and said, but met the pair of warm black eyes, which made Naruto hurriedly look away and did not dare to look at him.

The sound of a knock on the door in time helped Naruto suppress the thought of leaving Shiro behind, and before Naruto could react, Shiro had already walked to the door and opened it.

"This guest, the dinner you asked for has been given to you... Give... Come ......"

The boss, who was amazed by the extra beautiful face in the room at some point, had forgotten the purpose of his first visit, and his last words turned into a saliva swallow.

The white that washes away the dirt shows amazing beauty, even if the clothes you wear don't fit, you can't hide your snow-like temperament, and the black eyes and long hair like a waterfall are like the finishing touches to set off their pure white. He is still young, and he has already begun to show his style, and he must be even more beautiful when he grows up.

"Thank you, boss, just leave it here. ”

Although he thanked his boss for personally delivering the ordered meal, Naruto did not have the habit of letting people monitor his meal, and said to the boss who was standing still outside the door, and handed over the meal money to the boss's strange gaze, and watched him leave with an unclear smile.

"Shiro, come over and get something to eat. ”

said to Bai who sent the boss out, and the two rice bowls were filled with white rice, waiting for the owner to enjoy.

"Yes. ”

"Would you like some meat? Do you like this dish?"

"Well, I like both. ”

"Oh, eat more, then. ”

"Hmm. ”

After Naruto put down the dishes and chopsticks, Shiro also just finished eating, and watching Shiro quickly put the dishes and chopsticks away, Naruto felt as if he was completely useless. After handing over the task of returning the cutlery to Shiro, Naruto cleaned up the low table, pulled the sheets out of the cupboard and began to lay them out.

"Sir, just leave this to me. ”

The white trot, who had just returned, snatched Naruto's work at hand, making Naruto, who had never been served, feel a sense of guilt for being reduced to a young man. Naruto, who didn't want to just look at the labor of others, pulled another sheet from the cupboard again and spread it out.

"Sir, just leave that to me. ”

Shiro, who had already laid out the sheets at some point, said to Naruto, looking at the neat sheets laid on the ground, making Naruto ashamed of himself who couldn't do it even if he put in double the effort. But it's not my own style to do nothing, and I don't have the slightest intention of handing over the actions at hand to continue the action at hand.

"I'll do it myself. ”

The words that I didn't want others to work for me were misunderstood by Shiro, and I said my inner thoughts in frustration: "Do adults dislike me......"

"How is it possible, it's just that I'm not used to being served...... Well, then I'll leave it to you. ”

Succumbed to Bai's expression, and had to hand over this uncomplicated work to Shiro, who took over happily.

"White, you don't really need ...... So...... So...... Respectfully. ”

The vocabulary in my mind is not rich, and I have to use this word to describe Bai's attitude after looking for a long time.

"We're reciprocal, just treat me as usual. ”

"It's all voluntary, and no matter what it is, even if it's a trivial thing, I feel very happy to be able to do something for adults. ”

The snow-like boy said pitiful words with a satisfied smile, and Naruto was really speechless for such a stupid person.

"You're a ...... Then at least change your name, I always feel uncomfortable listening to adults. ”

"The Lord...... People, how?"

"Absolutely not, please. ”

"That'...... Naruto-sama?"

"It's perfect to remove the 'adult'. ”

"That'...... Young Lord. ”

"Isn't there a random name, casually, willingly, one, point. ”

"Got it, young master. ”

"Whew, sleep! I'm going to sleep!"

Looking at the young master who turned over angrily, Bai felt that the long-term nightmare seemed to be finally over today.

Tomorrow, it will definitely be different.

Please keep me by your side at all times, Young Master.
