Chapter 7 - The Dying Naruto

When he was out on a mission all day, Naruto looked a little uncertain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Very absent-minded.,And always distracted.,The whole person looks like he's lost his soul.,Sakura and Sasuke, who are traveling with him, have reminded him many times.,But it's useless.,Kakashi, who led the team, seemed to see something.,But because he's wearing a mask.,I don't know what kind of expression he has.。

So...... What the hell happened to Naruto?

Since Shimoshinobu is only doing some low-level tasks (chores) of a non-combat nature, it doesn't matter if he is distracted, and everyone doesn't care much about why he is so abnormal, and soon, the three of them completed the task of weeding the vegetable field, and after following Kakashi back to hand in the task, he looked at the sky and disbanded.

Kakashi disappeared directly on the spot, Sakura jumped back to her house, and the snake slug trio usually said goodbye to each other after disbanding and went home separately because of the different routes they took home.

"Hey, Naruto." But Sasuke stopped Naruto, who didn't look normal, and asked with a frown, "What the hell are you doing today?" It's abnormal. ”

"Me? Alas......" Naruto glanced back at him and let out a long sigh, the twelve-year-old's face full of vicissitudes, "It's old after all." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the head of the little Nine-Tails sitting on his shoulder--remember? This little guy was given away by Tang Yuan's loser for nothing - he sighed again, and it seemed that the whole person seemed to be dozens of years old.

"Old? What's old? Sasuke's eyebrows furrowed more and more, "The state of the team can determine the life and death of a team, if you guys are like this, I don't feel comfortable fighting with you." ”

"Sasuke...... Come here, come over here. Naruto beckoned to him, his tone full of blandness as he walked up a small staircase and sat down, patting him again, "Come here, sit here." ”

“……？” Sasuke walked over and sat down next to him for some reason, "What are you doing?" ”

"Me...... This morning, I was plotted. Naruto squinted at the sunset in the distance and said lightly, "Life is not long, life is not long." ”

"Plotted!? Then why didn't you say it earlier? What the hell is going on!? So Sasuke was not calm.

Naruto slowly told him about what had happened this morning.

――――――――

As always, in the morning, the son of calamity, who was possessed by the nine-tails, woke up from his dream, stretched his waist, and said hello to the little fox lying on his lap by the way: "Morning, nine-barrel ......"

Please don't pay attention to the name that seems to be a coincidence.

After washing, he looked at the time, it was still very early before the meeting, and it was completely too late to have some breakfast, so he took a few coupons for Yiraku ramen, put the nine cylinders on his shoulder, and went out.

There's nothing to say along the way, anyway, it's the disgusting eyes of those passers-by, and the little kids throwing stones at themselves, anyway, I've been used to it for so many years, and soon he came to the Ichiraku ramen shop, at this time, the hand-beaten uncle (I want to complain once I see this name) is still yawning and tidying up the storefront, and when I saw him coming in, I raised my hand lazily and shook it: "Yo, Naruto, it's so early every time...... Oh-(yawning) It's nice to be young, I was like you back then. ”

"Uncle! A tonkotsu ramen! Naruto grinned and pulled out a coupon, "Add an extra egg!" Thank you! ”

"Okay...... 1 tonkotsu ramen...... Oh-(yawning again) Wait a minute. He took the coupon in his hand, tore a notch in it, threw it in a drawer next to it, and walked slowly to the kitchen.

At this time, two voices came from outside the store, getting closer and closer.

"Mommy, where are we going to eat? What to eat? ”

"Hmm...... I don't know, let's take a look around, shall we? Anyway, it's so early, and the boss hasn't gotten up yet...... Just help him bring one back when the time comes. ”

"Mom, what's that?"

"Huh? Oh, that's it, Ichiraku...... It looks like ramen. ”

"Mom, I want to eat ramen!"

"Okay, let's eat ramen."

So someone opened the curtain and walked in: "Excuse me~Is anyone there~~"

Naruto looked at the two who came through the door and was stunned.

The person who came in looked like a big sister who was no more than eighteen years old, with short silver-gray hair, wearing a light green sleeveless shirt and dark gray cropped pants, and a dark green coat around her waist. In his right hand was a little girl who looked to be about ten years old, this little girl had long curly blond hair, a big dull hair on the top of her head, and was wearing a short fur skirt, bouncing.

So Naruto looked at the big sister and stopped thinking for a moment.

If he were a macho man, maybe he would blurt out a sentence by now: "It's so beautiful." ”

However, Naruto was not a hunk, so he remained silent, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly looked down at his fingernails, and at the same time quietly drifted his eyes in that direction.

Uncle Hand Beat instantly woke up from the decadent state of yawning, and the whole person came to the front in high spirits, and said loudly: "Welcome! What kind of noodles do you want to eat? ”

"What face? Let's think about it, hmm......" The girl, who looked like her mother, looked at the menu posted on the wall next to her, lowered her head and asked, "What kind of noodles do you want to eat with anise?" ”

"Hmm...... blonde little Lori bit her lip and thought for a while, "Barbecue?" Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to eat this in the morning, Mom? ”

So the big sister said, "You can't eat barbecue in the morning - boss, let's have two servings of our specialty ramen." ”

"Oooh! Hold on!! The hand-beating uncle stood up instantly, shouted, and entered the kitchen in a flash, and then there was a sound like a demolition office inside.

The big sister Sven took the little Lori to sit at the table, and when she saw Naruto sitting next to her, she smiled at him and nodded, and the little Lori in her arms also smiled and waved to him.

Immediately, Naruto turned his face away, not daring to look over there again...... He felt like he was having trouble breathing, his heart was racing, and his body temperature was rising sharply, as if he had been poisoned by something.

After persisting for a long time, he finally endured the discomfort, finished his share of ramen, and then left Yile and ran to the gathering.

――――――――

"So that's it...... I've been feeling sick all day today, and as soon as I calm down, the big sister comes to mind...... I'm sure it must be some kind of illusion that can slowly torture people to death! So...... Sasuke, I'm not sure if this technique is contagious, but you'd better stay away from me. And those two people are not from the village either, they must have come from outside, and I'm going to report this to Grandpa Hokage later! ”

Naruto rubbed to the side as he spoke, keeping a certain distance from Sasuke.

Sasuke looked at this guy's demeanor, thought about it carefully, and seemed to understand something, so he stood up with drooping eyelids, knocked his heels on the steps, and walked away with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Before leaving, he dropped five words: "Stupid." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? I'm going to die! Naruto wasn't calm anymore, he yelled at Sasuke's back, "You come back for me!" Is that what you should say to someone who is about to die sadly!? To be a man is to speak of conscience!! ”

Seeing that Sasuke was completely unresponsive and left without looking back, he let out another long sigh and held the nine cylinders in both hands at his eye level, and the little fox looked at him, blinking his eyes and letting out a soft cry.

Naruto looked at the little fox as if talking to himself and as if he was really asking, and muttered, "Am I really dying......"
