"Aren't you worried about your brother's safety?"

In the midst of the crowd,

Itachi and Artoria watched as Sasuke froze in place, and then quickly made the decision to take another step forward, moving forward alone.

They were relieved.

But at the same time, Artoria was a little worried.

After all, Konoha is no better than the Uchiha clan.

Being in an unfamiliar environment and being able to adapt to it alone is of course the best education for a child.

But this kind of education often comes with certain risks.

"It's just for him to try to live in this village on his own, not to go to war."

Itachi shook his head, "Although the Uchiha is on the cusp of the storm right now, it doesn't mean danger. ”

"Compared to those of us who are brothers and sisters, maybe the dark side of Konoha is more urgent now."

"They'll protect Zuosuke."

Speaking, in his field of vision.

In the direction of Zuosuke's side, two dark teams were drawn out from the daily maintenance of Konoha Village and secretly followed and protected.

Yes, two.

They are like a net of heaven and earth, following Zuosuke's progress, secretly protecting him from all directions, from the outside in.

This kind of treatment, Zuosuke has never had in the Uchiha clan.

"Let's go."

It was only after looking out of sight that Itachi said to Artoria next to him, "Go back to your old clan and take a look." ”

……

"That'...... Let's go now. ”

Zuosuke retracted the expression he had just seen beside his brother and sister, and walked down the street in ignorance, thinking about his next direction while being wary of the flow of people coming and going around him.

Although Konoha's festival is not as prosperous and lively as Kyoto City,

But after all, a celebration is a celebration, but there are still a lot of activities.

The villagers came and went, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

This was the first year after the war.

Compared to the previous year, the solemnity and tranquility of the New Year, this year can live so peacefully and steadily, which has made these villagers in Konoha Village very satisfied.

But unfortunately, when Sasuke regarded everything in front of him as grinding, the fun of playing was gone.

He couldn't fit into the atmosphere of the celebration at all, as if he was on a D-class ninja mission called 'Independent Living'.

The joy and joy of facing the lively atmosphere around me before could no longer be felt because of the task in my mind.

"Why don't you eat a bowl of ramen first?"

But soon, when the dazed Zuosuke found a ramen shop with a lot of customers on the street, he was overwhelmed and had a goal.

Although it's afternoon.

Although it's not a meal now.

Although ramen is considered a meal, not a snack.

But about eating, it will always be the main theme of the Uchiha family.

This will never change under the influence of the two big stomach kings of my brother and sister.

"One Joy ......"

With the name of the ramen shop in his mouth, Sasuke slowly approached and stood in line in the long queue.

And immediately following Zuosuke, several of the two shadow ninjas who were secretly protecting him had subtle changes in their faces.

After a simple gesture of communication, one of the shadow ninjas broke away from the protected team and headed in the direction of the Hokage Building.

"With such a long line, this ramen shop should be delicious, right?"

Sasuke stood in the middle of the line, looking forward to the long line in front of him shortening quickly, "I hope the taste of this shop won't disappoint me." ”

At the same time, he was looking forward to the taste of this ramen shop.

To make so many people line up here when it is not a meal, the boss should have a good skill.

"It's delicious."

At this time, a calm response voice rang in his ears, "Although this ramen shop is small, it is a delicious dish that is worth waiting in line and will not disappoint you." ”

Zuosuke looked in front of him suspiciously.

At this time, he realized that the person in front of him was also a child.

He was a weirdo with blonde hair, slightly shorter than himself, and a beard on his face.

At this moment, he was halfway to the side, turning to look at himself.

'How could anyone start growing a beard at such a young age?' ’

Zuosuke's heart was groaning.

However, he responded very kindly, "Thank you for the reminder, because I'm a tourist from out of town, and I don't know much about the situation in Konoha Village." ”

"Hmm."

Then the blonde-bearded boy answered softly, and did not speak again.

However, Zuosuke was keenly aware that this guy seemed to be focusing on his clothes just now.

To be exact, the family emblem.

"You...... Know me? ”

Unable to help it, Zuosuke asked again.

And ask the other party very bluntly if they know themselves.

As for Zuo Suke to continue to talk to him, the blonde boy turned sideways again, looking a little stunned.

Then, he nodded, "I don't know you, but I can recognize that you have the Uchiha's family crest embroidered on your clothes. ”

"As far as I know, there will be guests from the Uchiha clan arriving in Konoha Village during this time, a total of five people, including a child."

"You should be that kid, Sasuke Uchiha."

He has a clear mind and is calm and polite in his speech.

Sasuke looked at the blonde boy with a feeling of facing his brother.

Or rather, the sense of maturity that is far beyond one's own age.

But this feeling inexplicably made Zuo Zhu unconvinced.

You must know that in the clan, the person who has always been mature and stable has always been himself.

I can't help but want to say something and show my 'maturity'.

He looked up and down at the blonde boy in front of him, and for a long time, as if he understood something, he also said, "Since you can tell my identity, let me guess your identity." ”

"You're wearing a cartouche pattern, which is a sign of the Uzumaki clan's alliance with Konoha."

"You're not just an ordinary Konoha villager, but you have a ninja background."

Zuo Zhu analyzed it matter-of-factly.

The blonde boy in front of him looked a little strange, but he still nodded and admitted what Zuosuke analyzed.

"You know so well about the news of our Uchiha's arrival in Konoha that the status of Konoha is not low."

Sasuke continued to analyze.

And this line of thought between the words made the expression of the blonde boy who originally felt a little naïve gradually become serious.

"Since just now, as I talk to you, more and more eyes have been placed on you and me."

"I know that our Uchiha was very famous in Konoha back then, and it was a highlight everywhere we went, and this time we will definitely be in the spotlight when we come back."

"But when I entered the village before, I got more attention after I came into contact with you."

Zuosuke looked at the blonde boy in front of him seriously, and as he nodded, his face became more and more confident, "Come to think of it, the reason why they set their eyes on us is not because of me, but because of you." ”

"In addition to your ninja background, your family status is not low in Konoha Village, you are also very famous in Konoha yourself, at least, most people know you."

"So...... With so many clues, there is only one truth. ”

At this time, Naruto, who originally felt that this Uchiha family child seemed to be a little naïve, no longer had any underestimated thoughts on his face, "That's right, I'm ......"

"You must be from the Thousand Hands Clan!"

The confident Zuosuke said his conclusion, and nodded as a matter of course, "At least, it is also a person who is related to the fifth Hokage, and the relationship is very close!" ”

"Identity, popularity, plus your obviously well-educated demeanor, and...... Blond! ”

"You must be the nephew of the fifth Hokage, or a son, grandson, or something!"
