Chapter 17: In the Rain

The low-hanging clouds were dark gray, and Naruto opened the door after washing up and changing clothes, and the sky in the distance instantly darkened.

It's like someone turns off the lights above the clouds, and the light around them suddenly dims. Then a thunderclap rang out in the sky, and the rain fell without warning.

Naruto and Sakura stood in the hallway of the doorway, dumbfounded as they looked at the heavy rain curtain.

"Did Konoha say it would rain today?" Sakura stood by the wall, frowning at the white mist that blurred almost instantly.

"It's going to be gloomy this morning." Naruto complained, "The good news is, I have an umbrella. ”

After about an hour, the rain was a little lighter.

"Let's go." Sakura stood up and said.

"Oh." Naruto answered, and went out and locked it.

With a bang, the pitch-black umbrella was opened. The two of them hid under a black umbrella together, but fortunately, the umbrella surface was large enough, so they didn't have to worry about getting wet.

"Naruto." Sakura broke the silence, her mood seemed a little low.

"Hmm."

"How could those people look at us just now...... So? Sakura asked worriedly, "They're also residents of the apartment, right?" ”

As the two walked out of the apartment together, Sakura saw for the first time the villagers standing under the eaves with gloomy expressions, as if they were looking at something extremely disgusting.

"Because you walked by my side, you were hated together." Naruto said.

"Is that really okay?" Sakura couldn't help but shudder, "Naruto, you've always been ...... by that kind of gaze"

She didn't go on, and stopped talking.

"Ah, that's okay." Naruto didn't seem to pay attention to Sakura's words, holding an umbrella in his hand and staring steadily ahead with his eyes.

The streets under my feet are dripping with rain, and in the middle of summer, there is always plenty of rain, and the black umbrella looks very abrupt on the cold street.

His voice was firm and cold, flat like freshly cooled boiled water.

"I don't care about them anymore, although that's a bit of an exaggeration. But they are really just brainless moths. ”

"Or rather, disgusted that I will be able to unite them, no one will want to make themselves unsociable, right?"

The rain hit the black umbrella with a rattling sound.

"With all due respect, they live and just live, don't they? In the human skin, the only meaningful thing is to labor and reproduce. ”

Listening to Naruto's words, Sakura didn't know what to say.

Walking through the old street, the two stopped in front of the gift shop, and Naruto motioned for Sakura to go in first. Sakura was a little puzzled and looked at Naruto in confusion.

"You go in with me, and the boss may not sell it to you."

Hearing this, Sakura was stunned for a moment. He looked up at Naruto, then at the rain outside, hesitated for a moment before turning around and going in first.

After a pause, it was estimated that Sakura had already chosen, and Naruto walked into the store.

The boss recognized Naruto and looked at him with a frown, but didn't say anything.

At this time, Sakura is walking out, holding a gift in her hand, a cute blue puppet. Naruto nodded, turned and walked out the door.

"Leave without buying anything?" The boss sitting at the door suddenly sneered, "Next time you don't have any money, you won't come to my store." ”

Naruto ignored it and walked forward.

Sakura's palms felt as if they had been pricked by a needle, her brows furrowed, and her fingers sank deep into the doll.

Ninjas are not allowed to harm the villagers of their village, as is clearly stated in the ninja regulations. The boss was obviously aware of this, and he didn't mean to restrain himself at all when he watched Naruto walk out of the store.

Although she had already prepared in her heart, watching the naked bullying happen in front of her eyes, the person who was bullied was still her companion.

Sakura threw the doll into the boss's arms with resentment, startling the boss.

"What are you doing!"

"Don't buy it! What a broken shop! Sakura glared at the boss and walked out angrily.

"Sick, right? Is! ”

Sakura walked out of the gift shop and pursed her lips as she looked at Naruto who was waiting for her from the rain under the eaves on the other side.

"It's not good, don't buy it."

"Hmm." Naruto didn't say anything, and walked out into the rain with a big black umbrella.

"I'm going to go to the ninja shop and buy a bracer for Sasuke, what do you think?" Sakura reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't understand the preferences of boys, that's why I asked you to come out as a counselor." ”

"I didn't know it was going to happen, and I didn't think about it that much....... I'm sorry. ”

At the end, Sakura's voice grew lower and lower.

"No need to apologize, I heard it just now, in fact, you can buy it." Naruto said disapprovingly, "I don't care about those bugs at all. ”

"Bugs?" Sakura blinked, not reacting for a moment.

"Well, I see those people as bugs." Naruto said, "Actually, they can't do anything to me other than exclude me. ”

"They don't have the power, they live in this world, and even if I become a ninja, they still speak rudely to me as always."

"Bugs like this that don't matter if they live or die, I don't take them seriously at all. To me, they're just bugs in Konoha. ”

The more Sakura listened, the more nervous she became, so she could only change the topic in time. But just as he was about to speak, an eye-catching gold flashed in front of his eyes.

"How did you guys get together?" Ino raised his umbrella and stood in the rain and looked at the two of them narrowly.

Sakura was afraid that Ino would know that she was preparing a birthday gift for Sasuke, and she was afraid that Naruto would leak her mouth, so she hurriedly explained.

"I have something to ask Naruto for!"

"Huh?" Ino stared at Sakura suspiciously, "When did the relationship between the two of you get so good?" To the point where you can ask each other? ”

"It's a spiritual thing! Right? Naruto! Sakura cares about it, and her clumsy appearance looks like she's lying.

"Yes." Naruto nodded.

"Spiritual matters?" Ino withdrew his gaze, and the gossip and suspicion on his face slowly disappeared.

She did know that the two of them were in the same class as Sasuke, and Naruto's first score in the graduation exam was indeed surprising.

If you ask for advice on spiritual matters, it makes sense.

But there is one more thing that makes Ino care, since Naruto said in front of her that Sasuke doesn't like women on the day she fights, this has almost become a demon in her heart.

"I see you've all gone all the way, so are you done with the consultation?" Ino asked.

"Excuse me....... It's over. Sakura said helplessly, there was really no way to tell a lie.

"That's good." With that, Ino stuffed the umbrella in his hand to Sakura, and directly pulled Naruto and ran away!

"What?" Sakura froze.

"Borrow someone to use it!" Ino's voice came from afar, and the two of them were gone.
