Conan, who hadn't slept for a few days, finally had a good night's sleep, and when Conan got up in the morning, he found that Naruto was also there, and recently he and Sasuke had been getting up earlier than the other, and it seemed that they didn't see them much.

"Morning, Naruto, why didn't you go to practice today."

"Ahh Boss, let me tell you, I also summoned the toad Wentai yesterday, the lustful fairy said that there is nothing to teach me for the time being, let me practice by myself, I am not lazy, I practiced until almost dawn and came back. ”

Don't think about Conan, you also know how Jiraiya probably trained Naruto, it's nothing more than driving Naruto to a dead end.

"I didn't say I suspect Naruto that you are lazy, I believe Naruto you must be working hard, I have always seen your progress."

"Hee-hee." Hearing Conan say this, Naruto laughed brightly.

"Worthy of the boss, no one will believe in me so much except you."

"Naruto, you're okay today, right?"

"Huh? Nope. ”

"Walk with me later."

After eating, the two walked together on the streets of Konoha.

It didn't take long for Conan to be greeted by people on the road.

"It's Conan, I haven't seen you for a long time, when are you coming to my house to sit."

"Oh, little brother Conan hasn't seen you for a long time, come and taste an orange, don't be polite to your sister."

"Isn't this our little sun?"

Seeing that Conan was constantly greeted by people wherever he went, Naruto's face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Boss, you're really popular, if only I could have half of you, half of you, Boss."

Conan rubbed Naruto's hair: "Don't put on a resentful expression, I've always believed that Naruto you will have such a day, didn't you say that you want to be recognized by everyone to become the Hokage." ”

"Hmph, of course, one day I will definitely enjoy your treatment."

Suddenly, a voice came to Conan's ear: "Boss Conan, Boss Conan!" ”

"Naruto, what did you tell me for?" ??? Naruto looked puzzled.

"I didn't call you, boss."

Suddenly, a handsome guy with short hair appeared in front of Conan.

"Boss Conan, do you remember me?"

"You are?"

"I'm Saki." Saki made a gesture: "Whoosh, Flying Thunder God's Technique, I have been running around with you when I was a child." ”

"Oh, it's you, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to grow up too."

"Hehe, since I was found to have no qualifications to learn ninjutsu, I was sent by my family to the country of craftsmen as an apprentice, and I didn't meet you a few times in the middle, and now I'm back to Konoha to settle down, after all, I don't feel at home outside no matter what, boss, you see, that blacksmith shop is mine, boss, if you need it in the future, come to me, my skills are still quite good, it's free."

"You can be regarded as having a successful career, don't worry, I will definitely go to you in the future, but the money must still be given, and you are not allowed to refuse, otherwise I won't go."

After saying goodbye to Saki, Conan felt a little inexplicably sad.

"I don't know what those friends who followed my ass are doing now, I haven't been in touch for a long time."

"Hey! Isn't this Grandpa Kawasuke's house? Boss, you've been bringing me here to rub fruit. Seeing a familiar house, Naruto ran up and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a middle-aged man.

"Who are you looking for?"

Naruto suddenly reacted to something, and whispered with a gloomy expression, "No, it's nothing, I've found the wrong person." ”

The two walked away in silence, and Naruto said sadly, "I forgot that Grandpa Kawasuke passed away at the beginning of the year." ”

Conan also muttered: "Time flies so fast, it seems that the two of us went to Kawasuke's grandfather's house to rub watermelons together It seems that it was still yesterday, and Sasuke, he refused to come even if he was killed, or was he hard-pulled by the two of us, thinking of Sasuke's expression I want to laugh now hahaha" In the end, Conan's voice gradually lowered.

Despite what they said, Conan and Naruto couldn't laugh.

They didn't go far, and the two saw a familiar house again.

Naruto suddenly became excited again, running up and knocking loudly on the door.

"Grandma Swingyo, Conan and I have come to see you."

After opening the door, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl held Naruto down.

"Shhhh

"You are?"

"I am the person arranged by the village to take care of Grandma Swing, my name is Lingzi, grandma has not been in good health recently, don't disturb her loudly."

At this time, the old voice of the swing generation came from the door.

"Who? Is it Naruto? ”

When Conan and Naruto saw Akiyo, they couldn't recognize that this was the once angry Akiyo grandmother, only to see her head full of dry white hair, atrophied skin, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, exuding a strong twilight aura all over her body, and anyone could see that she was almost at the end of her life.

The two of them looked at this scene in shock, obviously they were in good spirits a month ago, how could this be.

"Is it Conan and Naruto coming? Come and let me hug. ”

Swingyo stretched out his hands and held them up.

"Where are you? Grandma, I can't see things now, I don't even know what you look like now, hey, old, no. ”

Conan and Naruto each hugged one of Chiyo's arms, their eyes red, and they held back the tears from falling.

"I guess, it's Naruto on the left, and Conan on the right, right?"

Naruto asked with tears in his voice, "Grandma Swingyo, can't you see it?" ”

"Although I can't see it, I can feel it, Naruto, your hands are hot, Conan's hands are cold, you can't hide this from me."

Hearing this, both Conan and Naruto couldn't help but shed tears, but both of them covered it up well, and they didn't make a sound at all.

"By the way, Ling Zi, bring me the osmanthus cake I prepared earlier, I have always prepared these pastries, just wait for you to come and eat."

Eating the pastry, Naruto and Conan finally couldn't help but cry loudly.

"Hey, what are you crying about, people will inevitably have this day, isn't it, this kind of thing can't be done by people, obviously my body was quite good a few days ago, I can make pastries for you on the ground, who knows that suddenly my body will not work."

"I'm just a little sorry that I didn't get able to see you get married and have children, and I didn't get to see you as Hokage"

Akishiro kept babbling, sometimes repeating what had been said before, sometimes muttering a few words of nonsense, and Conan and Naruto listened quietly until she said she was tired and fell asleep.

Ling Zi walked over and whispered: "She has been talking about you, the doctors said that she will not live for half a month at most, you should come and accompany her more during this time, she is very lonely alone." ”

Walking out of the house of the swing generation, Naruto and Conan did not slow down for a long time.

Naruto cried like a tearful man, and he couldn't stop at all, Conan also sobbed slightly, and the two of them slowly walked towards home.

"Naruto"

Naruto turned his head and looked at Conan with those red eyes, "What's the matter, boss." ”

"There are some things that we can't do even if we want to protect them, but those things that can be guarded I will never allow others to take them away from me, I like this village, this village has my relatives, friends, lovers, every corner of this village has my most important memories, these are the most important things for me, in order to protect these important things I can do whatever it takes, even if I incarnate Shura, but I am inevitably a little alone, Naruto, you have to grow up quickly, The enemy we will face in the future is very strong. ”

"Boss, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand something. ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, you will understand it later."

Conan looked into the distance, tomorrow is the middle ninja exam, this is the day you launch the Konoha destruction plan, and it is also the day when I incarnate as Shura, no matter which of you wants to destroy my most important thing, I will kill you all.
