At noon, in a market in the country of waves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Listening to the shouts not far away, as if he was catching a thief, Naruto couldn't help but glance at the old man Dazna beside him.

"My daughter asked me to bring some food back by the way......"

As if sensing the boy's gaze, Dazna looked back and said.

Following the old man, after a while, the two Naruto walked into the so-called vegetable shop.

"It's all empty, old man, what are you buying?"

Naruto looked at the empty shelves, a few rotten cabbages were so eye-catching.

Suddenly, Naruto felt someone touch his ass.

"Oh, I'm rubbing, did you meet an old pervert? Although I'm very handsome, you can't just come up and tease me like that, I remember when I first read the comics, it didn't seem to be this one. ”

With this in mind, Naruto directly kicked behind him with a dragon tail swing.

"Old glass!"

"No...... No......"

The sneaky figure with a nosebleed turned out to be a big bald head.

"Hehehe, are you called Saitama!"

"No, it's not, you've got the wrong person!"

The bald head shouted and ran away.

“......”

The payment was settled, and the Naruto duo wandered through the foul streets that were bustling with people.

"Oops, you really scared the hell out of me."

Old man Dazna said nonchalantly.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Using his eyes to scare away the beggars who wanted to come over one after another to ask for money, Naruto couldn't help but ask.

"It's been like this here since Cardo came. The adults in the town were terrified...... So right now, we need that bridge urgently. ”

"It's a symbol of courage, and it allows people in this country who are willing to swallow their anger to regain the courage to face reality!"

At this, Dazna's eyes twinkled.

"Only...... As long as that bridge can be built, the town and everyone can return to the way it was before. ”

......

The two returned to the cabin, and in a short time, the people of Class 7 had a delicious meal.

After the meal, everyone began to chat. Hinata looked at the torn corner of the photo on the wall and was puzzled.

"It's strange, how did this photo become like this, the missing corner seems to be a man."

“......”

Hearing Hinata's whispers, the Dazna family fell silent and lowered their heads.

"That's my husband."

"Previously, he was called the hero of this town......"

Dazna picked up the conversation and fell into the memories of the past.

Bang Dang......

"Inari, where are you going?"

"Inari!"

Seeing her son trotting out in silence, Dazna's daughter screamed, but there was no response.

“......”

Everyone noticed that the air around them was dull and awkward, and it seemed that they were involved in a family dispute.

"Did anything happen......

Kakashi asked.

"Inali and his stepfather have a very good relationship, like a real father and son. At that time, Inari was always smiling......"

"But...... Since that incident, Inari has completely changed. ”

Speaking of this, the old man Dazna burst into tears.

"The people of the island and Inari lost their 'courage' forever because of that day, that ......"

“......”

The atmosphere fell silent again, and Old Man Dazna took off his glasses and wiped the tears from his face.

"What the hell is going on?"

When the old man's mood gradually stabilized, Kakashi explored.

"Cardo cut off the man's hands, tied him to a post, and tortured him in front of everyone in order to make an example of him!"

As he spoke, Dazna choked up again.

"After that, Inari changed completely, my daughter, and everyone ......"

Everyone was in no mood to listen to the rest of the words, although he had known the story for a long time, but when he was really in it, Naruto still couldn't control his emotions. The idea of wanting to become stronger somehow lingered in my mind for a long time.

......

It's another sunny morning, and it's a rare day for a small island that often fogs up.

Naruto lay on his back on the grass, letting the birds fly down beside him.

Click, click, click......

In the quiet woods, the sound of clogs suddenly sounded from far and near.

A beautiful figure slowly walked towards Naruto, standing still, looking at the sleeping blonde boy.

Squatting down, gently pushing the young man's shoulder, the person who came said softly.

"You're going to catch a cold if you sleep here."

"Hmm...... Don't make a fuss......"

The boy muttered, and rolled over in a daze, startling the birds on the ground.

"Hmph~Hmph......"

The girl chuckled and withdrew her right hand.

"Hmm, you're ...... Who is it? ”

The blonde boy sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Can I pick this?"

The girl cleverly avoided the topic.

"Is it herb? Coming out to collect medicine so early, the young lady is really hard. ”

Naruto looked at the weeds around him, as if they were no different from those in the girl's basket, and couldn't help but speak.

"Aren't you too? What are you doing sleeping here early in the morning? ”

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Naruto's rare masase.

"Cultivate! I'm a ninja. ”

"Huh? Yes, that's amazing! ”

The girl's voice was like the murmuring of a stream, gentle and beautiful.

"Haha!"

"Then why do you want to cultivate? Do you have someone who is particularly important to you? ”

Carefully pinching off the shoots of the herb, the girl raised her head.

“...... The most important person......"

The boy rubbed his broken blonde hair, a little embarrassed.

"People, when you want to protect the most important things, you can really be strong."

The girl put down the herbs in her hand and looked at the big boy in front of her gently.

"Hmmm! I'm pretty clear about that. ”

The sun shines through the treetops and falls on the young man's cheeks, and that confident smile is like the scenery in the painting.

Smiling slightly, the girl stood up, carrying the bamboo basket, and prepared to get up and go back.

"Come on, I hope you can get stronger and stronger."

"I'll see you later."

"Hmm!"

......

Watching the girl go farther and farther, Naruto's heart was far less calm than it appeared on the surface. He would not tell the girl that they were able to meet here as a result of his own special trip to select a site.

However, this may be the best answer, some things, not to say that they are beautiful, and not to know each other can be intimate. If life is only as it first seems......
