Chapter 39: The Shell
After a period of practice, Naruto has mastered spiritism, and Jiraiya has to collect information about Orochimaru, and the day of the official selection is approaching, so he asked Naruto to go back to the village, but he also told Naruto that he will stay in Konoha for the next period of time, so that Naruto can go to him if he has any questions.

"Four generations, this kid has inherited your talent, I believe that he will definitely become a great ninja in the future, and you can rest assured in another world." Jiraiya has witnessed Naruto's growth in the past few days, so after saying goodbye to Naruto, he said to himself to the sky, and the patches of white clouds seemed to be smiling at him.
Since the caucuses ended, Naruto was very worried about Xiao Li's situation and wanted to visit him for a long time, but he was afraid of missing Jiraiya, so he put Xiao Li down for the time being, and when Naruto returned to Konoha, it was already dark, so Naruto had to go home to sleep and visit Xiao Li tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Naruto came to a flower shop, after all, it's not good to go empty-handed, at least, to buy a flower or something, and when he walked into the flower shop, he found that Ino was pruning the flowers, and it turned out that this was the Ino family's shop.
"Welcome! It turned out to be Naruto, are you here to buy flowers, and if so, as a congratulatory to you on advancing to the official competition, I'll give you a free order today. Asma is conducting special training for Shikamaru, so there will be no tasks for a while, and Ino, who has been eliminated, came to his parents' shop to help.
Ino was sorting out the flowers with his back to the door, so he didn't know who the guest was, and when he turned around, he realized that it was Naruto, who had performed amazingly in the pre-selection. In the past, Ino, like most people, only despised and ridiculed Naruto, but this time the middle ninja exam made Ino see Naruto's strength, and also realized how ridiculous her attitude towards Naruto was, so now she has made a change.
"Ino, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to pay for it, after all, this is your parents' shop, and I'm going to visit Xiao Li, so you can help me choose the right flowers, I'm not familiar with this aspect." Naruto is not a greedy person, so he wanted to leave when he heard about the exemption, but if he left now, he would inevitably embarrass Ino, so he insisted on paying.
Ino asked Naruto to choose the flowers, Naruto insisted on paying the money and was about to leave, but he felt that he was a little unkind like this, so he turned to Ino and said: "Ino, if this is your own flower shop, I won't be polite to you, but this is your parents' property, I'm afraid you will not be able to explain, and you are also a very good female ninja, don't be discouraged by this failure." ”
Looking at Naruto's departing back, Ino smiled: "Why didn't I find out before, Naruto also has such a cute side." ”
Finding Xiao Li's hospital room, Naruto, who pushed open the door, saw Xiao Li lying on the hospital bed, looking out the window with an undisguised depression in his eyes.
"Xiao Li, I've come to see you, how are you?" Naruto sighed, the Xiao Li who once made Naruto admire was gone, and now he couldn't see a little fighting spirit in him, it seemed that this defeat really hit him hard, and he didn't even notice his arrival.
Naruto's voice woke up Xiao Li, and he showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "It's Naruto, thank you for coming to see me." ”
Looking at the lonely Xiao Li, although Naruto was very dissatisfied, he knew that he couldn't change anything, and the only one who could rejuvenate Xiao Li's fighting spirit was Kai, who treated Xiao Li like a father.
If a person loses his hopes and dreams, then he is just a soulless shell, and Xiao Li is now in this situation, becoming a walking dead without thoughts.
In fact, at first, Xiao Li still retained the hope of recovery, but the whispers of some doctors, nurses and nurses made Xiao Li fall into the abyss, and he finally understood that he could not recover, and he might even lose his identity as a ninja, which made Xiao Li feel hopeless.
However, when Xiao Li needed Kai the most, Kai was training Ning Ci and Xiao Sakura, and he had no time to accompany Xiao Li, which made Xiao Li's already desperate heart even more depraved, so he formed what he is today. Naruto tried to make small talk for a few words, but found that Xiao Li kept answering the wrong questions, so he had no choice but to get up and take his leave.
"It's such a terrible thing to lose your dreams, but what are my dreams? Realizing the dream of the original owner of this body, what do I really want? After leaving the hospital, Naruto fell into deep thought.
Naruto thought of himself from the current situation of Xiao Li, he has always acted and survived according to the wishes of the original Naruto, whether it is to change Sasuke's mind, or the determination to become stronger, this is not his original will, thinking of this, Naruto found that he doesn't seem to have any dreams, whether it is in the previous life or now.
As soon as this idea came out, it quickly occupied Naruto's heart, and Naruto also felt confused and panicked because of this, he was afraid that sooner or later he would become the little Li he is today, and Xiao Li also has a Kai who is willing to live and die with him, but he has nothing!
