Chapter 18: The Child Called the Fox Demon

"Brother Amber, Daimaru likes to eat saury, shall we buy some?"

Street.

Xiao Tan held a bag higher than his waist in both hands, standing in front of the fish shop and couldn't move, his mouth drooling.

She may have been stimulated by the words of her companions in the orphanage, and she was very desperate to prove herself, insisting on mentioning something.

The two bags are really going to be solid, and they are estimated to be heavier than the little guys. In desperation, Amber had no choice but to choose some items that were very light but bulky.

"Well, let's buy it."

He smiled slightly, bought three fish with the boss for one hundred taels, and Xiao Tan's eyes lit up, and he looked very happy.

"Okay, you're almost done, are you tired?"

Amber asked softly.

"Not tired, not tired."

Xiao Tan's head shook violently, and he wanted to raise the bag in his hand as he spoke, but unfortunately he tried several times without success, and his angry little face turned red.

"Wait for me on the street."

Amber smiled and patted her head, then put the things in her hand on the ground, "Take care of these ingredients, don't walk around, you know." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Tan was a little disappointed, and then he put on a straight face, looked around vigilantly, and his already big and round eyes were even more unblinking, as if someone would come to grab it in the next moment.

In fact, unless it is in a time of war, there will be basically no problem with the security of Konoha, which is why Amber is relieved.

He turned to another street, looked around, and stopped in front of a small stall selling desserts.

"Is there a three-color ball?"

"Yes, thirty taels and one string."

The seller was an old woman with a lot of wrinkles, and when she laughed, her whole facial features shrunk into a ball.

"Bring me ten strings."

Amber took out her piggy wallet and took out a bill of three hundred taels.

"Guest, please wait."

After the old woman took the money, she smiled more and more happily.

Although she is old, her movements are very neat, and her every move is full of neatness.

Amber was waiting, and suddenly the young man's indifferent voice sounded beside him.

"Hello Granny Hua, bring me four strings of three-color balls."

"It's Itachi, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I'm busy."

Itachi, who had already developed nasolabial folds at a young age, handed over the banknote and happened to make eye contact with Amber who had turned around.

A hint of surprise flashed in those dark eyes.

"Is it Amber-kun, you're now... Not a ninja anymore? ”

"Hmm."

Amber nodded, "I'm not strong, I'm not a qualified ninja in the first place, and Dean Nonoyu had an accident, so I went back to the orphanage." ”

"Actually... I recognize Amber's talent. ”

Uchiha Itachi said, "As a former classmate, you were the first one to take the initiative to discover my shadow clone. ”

"Huh... Yes, it's just luck. ”

Amber smiled and scratched his head, it was now the 56th year of Konoha and two years before the Uchiha was wiped out, and the murderer was the guy in front of him.

No matter what the reason, a person who can kill his parents is not a person who can be deeply acquainted.

The Uchiha Itachi didn't speak again, just watched quietly until a child stumbled over.

"Brother!"

Sasuke Uchiha's face, flushed with exercise, was full of excited smiles, "I want to eat meatballs too." ”

"I bought four skewers, little Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha tapped Sasuke's forehead with two fingers, and the latter puffed out his mouth in pain.

"This is my brother, Sasuke Uchiha."

He looked at Amber, only to find that the latter had already taken the balls handed by Granny Hana, looking like he was leaving, which made Itachi Uchiha, who rarely had the heart to chat, a little disappointed.

"Sasuke, nice name."

Amber nodded, "I still have some business, so I'll take my leave." ”

"Well, goodbye."

Uchiha Itachi watched Amber leave, and a strange feeling lingered for a long time.

Ever since he started the kaleidoscope not long ago because of the death of the water stop, his senses have become very sharp.

This old classmate also hides something amazing.

"Brother, this guy is so rude."

Sasuke snorted softly.

"That's my former classmate."

Uchiha Itachi collected his thoughts and didn't dwell on the topic anymore.

The other side.

Amber, who was about to go back, suddenly heard a loud scream.

"As long as I jump in, they'll play with me, right?"

"That's right, you jump!"

A second later.

Bang!

The water splashed, and the yellow-haired boy turned into a soup chicken.

And the children who had just said that they wanted to play with him immediately gloated.

"Stinky Demon Fox, who wants to play with you!"

"That's right, that's right, the demon fox should have died a long time ago, and your existence is a mistake!"

"Hey, demon fox, if I were you, I would definitely hide at home and not come out."

The young Naruto didn't refute, but his originally bright eyes became much grayer.

He knew these people were playing tricks on themselves, but what if?

The kids were gone quickly, and for them, it was just a daily adjustment.

Naruto hung his head and walked aimlessly until a shadow enveloped him.

He looked up and saw in front of him a big brother with a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry..."

After apologizing in a low voice, Naruto prepared to turn around.

"Do you want to eat meatballs?"

Amber took out the three-color balls she had just bought, "It's very sweet." ”

"It's... Is this for me? ”

Little Naruto was incredulous at first, and then his whole face turned sunny.

"Well, take it."

Amber stuffed the balls into his hand, "Eat them while they're hot, they'll stick to your teeth when it's cold." ”

"Oh, oh."

Naruto subconsciously took a bite, then reacted, raised his hand and laughed loudly, "Big brother, my name is Naruto Uzumaki!" ”

"Well, my name is Amber."

Amber reached out and rubbed his head, "If you get bored in the future, you can come to the orphanage to find me, there are a lot of children your age there." ”

"Really... Are you sure? ”

Little Naruto felt like he was in a dream.

"Of course it's true."

Amber replied with a smile.

"Then it's decided!"

"Hmm."

An unintentional warmth that brings sunshine to Naruto, who has lived in loneliness and darkness since he can remember.

He began to look forward to it, then to trepidation, and the ultimatum turned into excitement that could not be expressed in words.

There was even a strong urge to scream.

Maybe this is the so-called, a thousand-year-old dark room, a light is bright?

Amber didn't take this to heart, the other little guy was still waiting.

But trouble still came up.

A masked shadow ninja jumped out of the way after he left Naruto.

"Shinobu Amber, you know the identity of that kid just now, right, don't touch him without permission, you know!"

Amber smiled gently, and the butterfly flew out of nowhere, landing gently on his shoulder.
