Chapter 581: Naruto's Choice
It was night, and Naruto was walking alone on the streets of Konoha.
In the dim light, the lonely back was stretched very long.
It was late at night, and there was no one on the street.
In the distance, bright lights flickered.
Naruto looked up and saw that there was a shop still open.
It was a small shop with six characters of Ichiraku ramen written on the door (four characters for ramen in Japanese).
Naruto was stunned for a moment and walked over unconsciously.
"Naruto? Are you coming here so late? Want to eat ramen? Uncle Hand asked.
Naruto nodded silently and said, "Uncle, I want a huge bowl of miso ramen." ”
"Naruto, something is wrong with your emotions, what's wrong?"
It's a little strange to hit Uncle Hand Punch, how could this Naruto, who was full of energy no matter when he came, suddenly become so gloomy now.
"I'm fine, hand hit uncle." Naruto said lightly.
When I heard the words, I didn't ask any more questions and went to make ramen.
For Naruto, Hand Fight has enough knowledge that if Naruto doesn't want to say it, he doesn't have to ask more.
Naruto didn't speak again, just sat in his seat silently.
Outside, the sky was starting to rain.
Naruto heard this and looked out.
It was a light rain, and it came and went quickly.
However, it was this light rain that brought Naruto's memories back to when he was a child.
It was the first time he had met Kakashi.
It was also raining lightly.
At that time, he had been hungry for two days, and there was no way, so he came to Uncle Handa, hoping to get food.
And it was at that time that Naruto met Kakashi.
The first time he saw Kakashi, Naruto had doubts in his heart.
Why did the man cover his face and left eye?
And this question, until now, Naruto didn't know the answer.
The face under the mask, Naruto hadn't seen once.
Later...... Maybe I won't have a chance.
"White hair...... Brother. ”
Naruto's mouth muttered a title he hadn't used in a long time.
Although Kakashi didn't let Naruto call himself that way later, in Naruto's heart, this name carried more weight than the title Kakashi-sensei.
Because that was the first nickname I gave.
Naruto looked at the seat beside him.
When we first met, I was sitting in my current position, and Kakashi-sensei was sitting next to me.
"Ah, my name is Kakashi Hagi, and it's nice to meet you."
At that time, he bent his crescent eyes and said this to himself.
At that moment, he was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating his dark life.
"Naruto, the oversized miso ramen is ready."
Uncle Teda placed the ramen in front of Naruto.
"Thank you, Uncle Handbeat."
Naruto picked up the chopsticks, but instead of eating them immediately, he looked at the ramen in a daze.
Kakashi-sensei invited himself to eat ramen for the first time, and it was also this super-large portion of miso ramen.
Although it was Naruto himself who ordered it.
The spoon scooped up the noodle soup and gently put it in your mouth.
The warmth never changed.
Tick......
Tears fell into the noodle soup.
When he looked at Naruto again, his face was already covered with tears.
"Naruto?"
Hand hit surprised.
Naruto didn't answer, but took a big gulp.
Just like back then, in front of Kakashi.
"It's the first time we've met, it's nice to meet you, so let's treat you to ramen without any greeting gifts, are you okay?"
Kakashi-sensei, I wish you would treat me to ramen again......
Even once......
Soon, the ramen all went into Naruto's stomach.
"Ah, it tastes amazing." Naruto said softly.
It's just that the expression and the words don't match at all.
"Naruto, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Teda asked again, a little worried about Naruto's situation.
"It's okay, Uncle Hand Punch, I'll give you the money next time, goodbye."
After Naruto finished speaking, he turned to leave.
Left a bewildered hand.
That's why you don't pay for your meals?
After a long path, Naruto walked back to his house.
Shigego and Kaori are out on a mission and haven't come back yet.
So, Naruto was alone at this time.
The empty room seemed to make that emotion even more solemn.
Lying on his bed, Naruto's eyes glazed over.
At the head of the bed, a scarf hangs.
Naruto gently removed it and wrapped it around himself.
It was Naruto's first gift in life.
On that day, the cold wind howled.
Kakashi took off his scarf and put it on Naruto's body.
Naruto still remembers that warmth.
At this time, there seemed to be a smell of Kakashi on the scarf.
"Kakashi-sensei......"
Naruto clutched the scarf tightly, as if to rub it into his body.
Naruto buried his head in his knees and sobbed silently.
Outside the window, Jiraiya watched all this silently.
"Kakashi, it seems a little too cruel to do this."
Jiraiya whispered in his heart, but he didn't say it.
Growth is synonymous with pain.
Jiraiya also understood at this time that Naruto was the child of destiny.
So, he had to grow up as soon as possible.
Even if the process is painful.
Jiraiya was gloomy, but he still knocked on the glass of the window.
Click.
The crisp voice startled the crying Naruto.
Looking out the window, Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Naruto." Jiraiya shouted.
"Lustful Immortals...... Kakashi-sensei, he ......"
Jiraiya landed beside Naruto, and the remaining right hand gently stroked his hair.
Just like Kakashi back then.
Naruto was stunned for a moment, the feeling was familiar and unfamiliar.
Turning to look at Jiraiya, the empty left arm was particularly glaring.
"Naruto, Kakashi values you very much, the way you are now, it's not what he wants to see."
"Lustful Immortals...... I ......"
Naruto said, and fell silent again.
The feeling that a piece of his heart seemed to be missing made him very uncomfortable.
Kakashi-sensei...... When I was very young, he began to take care of me. Shadow clone was the first ninjutsu he taught me, and he taught me what a ninja is and what ninja is. He was like my own brother, and I wished he could see the moment I became Hokage. fairy, you know? I made a pact with Kakashi-sensei that as soon as I became a ninja for him to recognize, he would tell me about my parents. But before this agreement could be fulfilled, he left...... Kakashi-sensei! You big liar! ”
Naruto said, tears streaming down his face again.
"Naruto ......"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Lustful Immortals...... Your left arm...... Is the enemy strong? Naruto asked suddenly.
Jiraiya nodded silently.
Naruto's expression suddenly became much firmer.
"Lustful Immortal, let's go to Miaomu Mountain and continue that unfinished immortal cultivation, I must defeat that enemy!"
