Just as Naruto arranged in an orderly manner, he deliberately separated the mother and daughter to a relatively safe area, and entrusted Shisui to take care of the self-protection of the incapable Xiangryu, so as to prevent the damage from affecting the mother and daughter when I Airo ran out of control. As an important target of Naruto's trip, the son of the fourth generation of the wind shadow, I Airo, what is he doing at this moment?

……

In a relatively spacious open space, around a small ball covered with sand and dust that quickly rolls back and forth, more than a dozen children are kicking each other, chasing each other, passing me to each other, and playing happily. And the bursts of crisp and immature laughter full of excitement and satisfaction filled all corners of this open space. This small open space gradually becomes lively and energetic under the play and frolic of children.

However, if someone can take a closer look, it is not difficult to find out...... Although the little ones were having a good time, they seemed to have made some agreement in advance, so they deliberately avoided backing down. No matter how noisy he was, he never moved in the direction of a corner in the clearing.

So, in this direction, what kind of dangerous and terrible things exist that can make children who love to play by nature dare not approach a single bit? Is it a heinous criminal? A beast that chooses people to devour? Or is it some classified building that is strictly forbidden to approach?

No, just a swing hanging from a tree branch, and a young boy sitting alone on a swing like a puppet sculpture, silently hugging the bear puppet.

If you let outsiders who don't know the details look at it, probably the first impression, in addition to the undisguised loss, loneliness, envy, longing and other complex emotions from this boy, most of them will only regard him as an ordinary child who does not fit in. And in any case, I can't imagine that he is the well-known "demon" in Shayin Village-one of the nine tailed beasts, I love Luo.

"This! This way! Pass it to me, pass it to me! ”

"Keep up with the rest and don't give him a chance to score!"

"Well done! Hurry up, hurry up! Let's kick back! ”

"Don't succeed! Look at my ——! ”

"Hmph, look at my trick——!"

Holding the soft bear puppet tightly with one hand, longing to draw some comfort and companionship from it. With the other hand, he grasped the chain that hung the swing and fixed his body to the swing without moving. Because of the bursts of cheering and shouting in my ears from time to time, I Airo, who was already in the most playful childhood state, couldn't help but slowly raise my head. Then, for fear that the children playing in front of him would find out that they were observing them, he moved the bear puppet in his hand a little to cover most of his face. While using the cover of the bear puppet, he quietly showed some eyes. Cautiously and full of envy and longing, he observed the children playing and playing in the open space, and the hearty satisfaction and enjoyment on his face.

In terms of pure heart's desire, I am undoubtedly desperate to go forward and play with these children of the same age...... But judging from the experience since I had my memory, even if I am young, I still know it. As soon as you really get off the swing and show even the slightest tendency to try to get closer to the children, the children who are playing in front of you will immediately cry out in horror and run away in panic. So much so that after a few breaths, there will only be a lonely figure left in this entire clearing.

In other words, I was able to take advantage of the fact that the children were having fun and didn't notice the existence of Iara. While silently observing from the side, and then through the fiction of imagination, he substitutes himself into the play and frolic among the children. Sitting on the swing and waiting patiently for Yakshamaru to pick him up was already the greatest pleasure I could have in every day Iara had ever spended.

In terms of life experience, as the youngest son of the four generations of Kazekage...... Like these children in front of me, I have no scruples to enjoy the fulfillment and happiness brought by playing with my peers. Even because of their own background, they have won the favor and respect of these children......

It's a pity that in order to find a suitable next human pillar force for the village, I was deliberately bred and gave him the opportunity to be born from the moment he was born. For ordinary people, these are just ordinary trivial things, and they are destined to be unattainable extravagant hopes for my Airo.

Because the Sand Hidden Village did not form an alliance with a family that specialized in sealing, such as the Uzumaki clan, like the Konoha Ninja Village, the sealing technique that was applied to Iairo to suppress the rampaging of Ichi-Tsuru and avoid affecting the character of the human pillar force was obviously far inferior to the Bagua Seal imposed on Naruto, which was composed of two four-elephant seals and a combination of two four-elephant seals. This caused a Shou Crane to want to escape from it, but the difficulty value was far lower than the Nine Lamas, the strongest of the nine tailed beasts who had to break free from the gossip seal! So much so that several times out of control and went violently, not only the villagers instinctively disgusted and alienated my Airo, but even I Airo himself, because he wanted to prevent Shouhe from snatching control of his body, never dared to let himself take the initiative to enter a deep dormant state.

It is precisely for this reason that I have developed a pair of thick and eye-catching dark circles due to a serious lack of adequate sleep, and I have suffered from insomnia since I was a child...... Under the influence of this disease, not getting enough and safe sleep for a long time made Airo's mental head worse and worse, and the whole person became extremely irritable and irritable. So much so that often on impulse and without noticing, he was exploited by the Shouhe who was eyeing him in his body, and then under the influence of my Airo's instinctive likes and dislikes, he easily took the lives of others.

Because I didn't get a good night's sleep, my mental head deteriorated. Because of the deterioration of the mental head, the slightest stimulation may make my Airo temperament change greatly. Because I'm like a time bomb that can explode at any time, so that the villagers don't dare or want to have any contact with me. Because of the rejection and indifference of the villagers, my mental pressure on Airo has further increased, and the quality of sleep has also decreased......

Faced with this situation like an infinitely repeated vicious circle, because he was still young and seriously lacked the cognitive ability to think independently, he didn't know what he should do at all, and so he slowly and gradually fell into the body of my Airo, which is called the abyss of confusion and despair, and was completely occupied by a Shouhe in his body, so that it was only a matter of time before he broke through the seal and hindered his reappearance in the world.

It's a pity, just like the villagers around Naruto, who only care about insulting and hateful, but never think about problems from the perspective of a child. The villagers of Shayin Village that I am facing are also like adding fuel to the fire, but they have never given me any kindness and sympathy. On the contrary, they did not hide in their hearts at all, and their indifference and disgust for my Airo deepened more and more!

In addition, the problems that I Airo needs to face are not only from the malice of the villagers, but even his biological father, the fourth generation of the Shadow of Sand Hidden Village, has always been angry and hated his little son because of the excessive bleeding caused by dystocia when his beloved wife gave birth to My Airo that year. So much so that from the beginning to the end, he never regarded my Airo as his own child, but after sealing a tail of Shouzuru into my Airo's body, he regarded my Airo as a complete humanoid weapon that needed to be tamed!

And as a father, they hate and reject their children so much. Under the subtle influence of hearing and seeing, Temari and Kankuro, who are brothers and sisters, naturally retreat from my Airo. Even if the whole family lived under the same roof without looking up and looking down, Temari and Kankuro would see their formidable brother from a distance, and they were afraid that Iara would come to them, so they hurriedly retreated away from it.

The indifference and disgust of the people around him, the hatred and alienation of blood relatives...... All kinds of pressure on my Airo, even as an adult, is still unbearable. What's more, this little guy who is now at an immature age and needs to be cared for, tolerated and pampered by others?

Because of this, under the extremely harsh conditions of being rejected by almost the entire village, there is no strong enough sealing technique to assist in suppressing and counteracting the impact of the Tailed Beast's riots again and again...... Obviously among the nine tailed beasts, the weakest of the Shayin Village's guarded cranes, the reason why he would go out of control more frequently than other tailed beasts is naturally obvious.

"Good opportunity! Shot! ”

"Bang!"

"Alas——! You're kicking too hard, stupid! ”

Just as I was staring straight at the children's play, and I was a little dazed by the picture in my mind that I would join the crowd and play football together without any mustard. The exclamations in my ears woke up in an instant, shattering the beautiful picture that I had finally imagined, and recalling my Airo's consciousness back to the cold real world.

“……”

Originally, because the beautiful scene that he had finally imagined was interrupted by someone, he pursed his lips and frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but because he was caught by the football flying high in the corner of his eye, he attracted attention, and instinctively turned his head to move his perspective, staring at the flight trajectory of the football without blinking. I watched as the soccer ball easily leaped over the high sand wall, and as it rolled on the ground, it came to a halt and stuck on the edge. So much so that it seems that if a little external force is given, it will fall straight down, but no matter how much the children look forward to waiting, they will not fall as they wish and return to the children.

"Ahhh......h What should I do now......"

"You ask me, I ask who is going......"

"Hmm——! Obviously everyone is having fun...... It's all your fault! If you hadn't kicked so hard, would it be like this? ”

"I ...... I...... I didn't mean to......"

“……”

Quietly observing from the side, I found that the children were like ants on a hot pot, in a circle with each other, looking extremely anxious and anxious, but none of them tried to climb the high wall in order to retrieve the football. I'll know that these children are far from being able to do this. After thinking about it for a while, I thought it was most likely a good opportunity to be friends with them.

"Tsk, I have no choice but to go to the adults for help......"

"Ahh......h After all, none of us have learned the ninja ...... to walk on walls."

"Uh-huh——! Hey, hey! Look! What is that? ”

With this in mind, I Airo jumped off the swing and fell to the ground amid the exclamations of the children, and quietly and cautiously approached the gathered peers in front of me. While slowly raising his hand, relying on his own will and instinct, he manipulated the inconspicuous gravel around him to float in the air like an arm. It turned into a cloud of small pieces of gravel and quickly laid the groundwork under the football. In this way, the football was lifted from the high wall, slowly falling to the ground, and finally, lightly resting in the grasp of my Ara's outstretched petite hands.

"Only...... As long as I help them get the ball back...... They...... You guess you're going to play with me......"

As I thought, with the help of my ability to manipulate the grit at will, the result of retrieving the football without much effort made Airo's heart even more excited. And then I fantasize that my initiative to show favor should be able to exchange for the approval of my peers, so that I can finally make friends, and at the same time, I can also get rid of the helplessness surrounded by loneliness and despair.

But obviously, although my idea is very naïve and innocent, and there is no harm at all...... But the reality is often quite cold and cruel.

"You...... You are......! ”

The trembling words full of horror and vigilance once again ruthlessly dragged my Airo's consciousness from the beautiful fantasy back to the cold reality. Then I turned my head a little sideways, and as expected, I saw the frightened and vigilant face that I had seen countless times, and I felt an indescribable tingling pain in my heart.

“……”

He lowered his head and raised his head again...... After hesitating for a while, I Ailuo finally mustered up the courage, and slowly handed the football in his hand to the people in front of him, for fear of scaring everyone in front of him, he deliberately lowered his volume decibels, and said tentatively word by word.

"This ...... This one ......"

"I love Luo...... It's me Airo! ”

"Sand ...... Sand Falls I love Luo ......"

"What are you doing? Hurry up and run! ”

"Save ...... Help——! ”

However, before I could finish my intermittent words, I expressed my kindness to everyone. The difficult words seemed to be like cold water poured over the heads of the children in front of them, and the consciousness of everyone was instantly awakened. Then he stammered and muttered to himself, almost instinctively, moved his legs and turned around, and crawled to the ground and fled in a hurry.

“……”

The reaction that was far beyond his expectation made my Ailuo's pupils contract, and his eyes were stunned in place. It wasn't until the constant shouts of terror in his ears and the rapid disappearance of the figures in his sight that he regained consciousness. Immediately fearing that he would become unaccompanied and lonely again, he instinctively raised his hand and whispered to himself, almost begging.

"Wait...... Wait a minute...... Don't leave me alone! ”

Although this is just an instinctive thought. But I was beside him as if he were a part of his body, like the grit of his arm, but he reacted in an instant with loyalty and reliability. Quickly spread out and pursued, wrapping around the ankles of the children who had escaped and landed at the very end, and unceremoniously pulling them hard, dragging the captured children to the ground, and dragging them to my Airo's side according to my wishes.

"Help——!"

"Save ...... Help me! Who can save me! ”

Faced with the "crisis" of restricted movement, and the body being dragged by a huge force, forcibly approaching my Airo against his will, the children who were already in a hurry became more and more frightened. Then he clasped his hands on the ground under him, trying to delay his approach to my Airo, and opened his mouth wide and shouted for help with all his might. But as everyone knows, his behavior is full of resistance and rejection, and there is no kindness at all. Not only did he fail to get himself out of danger, but he was stimulated by the fragile nerves, and because he recalled his life as a lonely person, no one could talk to or be a companion, his reason gradually left his body. So much so that under the influence of a Shou Crane in his body who saw the opportunity, the long-standing resentment in my Airo's heart was completely stimulated! As a result, all the goodwill that I Airo had worked so hard to preserve and maintain dissipated, and in its place, there were bursts of monstrous killing intent surging into my heart!

At the same time, the grit that is under the control of my Airo is supposed to act according to what I Airo wants...... With the dissipation of kindness in my Airo's heart, and the protrusion of murderous intent. Under the influence of this and the other, the grit that was originally only wrapped around the children's ankles, but did not solidify and tighten, suddenly tightened like copper cast iron! The ensuing bursts of heartache not only made the children's wails more and more poignant, but also further stimulated the surge of murderous intent in my Airo's heart!

"Always...... Only...... One person ......"

As the painful past recalls in my heart more and more, a heart-rending scream and angry howl can't help but overflow from my mouth. Immediately, the grit wrapped around the children's ankles tightened and tightened further, and more of the gravel was transformed into a sharp weapon that could be deadly under the manipulation of my Airo's killing intent! And at the same moment, mercilessly, he stabbed the child who wailed the loudest!

"I ...... Don't ——! ”
