Naruto: First Love

Chapter 409 Goodbye Naruto
Naruto was surprised to see that he had grown up. Although he was not as stupid as before, he was already an excellent ninja after all.

A few years ago, Kazama Shinko appeared beside him when he just started living alone. She was a very familiar person who he always called Sister Shinko at that time. She was the person who had spent a long time with him.

Later on, Usami also stayed by his side, but he spent more time with Sasuke. To him, he was just a friend who acknowledged his existence but was not very familiar with him.

In the past, he always subconsciously separated the two of them, because Kazama Shinko cared about him more, like she was really his sister, but Usami was not like that. Usami was more like Sasuke's sister.

It can be said that Naruto was jealous because the sister who cared about him the most became the sister who cared about Sasuke the most, and he became an orphan with nothing, so he refused to think that these two people were the same person.

Obviously he knew Xinko, and he had seen the faces of Kazama Xinko and Usami, so obvious, even if he was stupid, he would be aware of the problem to some extent, right?

But after these two years, Iruka has already appeared in Naruto's heart, and he has finally let go of his obsession with Kokoro.

Naruto kept chasing after Koko while thinking about his memories with Koko.

Xinzi had already noticed the person behind him, and after thinking about it, he stopped.

She used the Wind Wings, and Naruto really couldn't catch up to her without speeding up.

Naruto also noticed that Xinzi had stopped, and soon arrived in front of Xinzi, looking at Xinzi, and stammered: "Xinzi...sister."

Xinzi smiled, breaking his anxiety, and rubbed Naruto's head with her hand, "Naruto has grown up."

These words really touched Xinzi deeply.

Two years ago, when Naruto met her, she was careless and kept calling her "Boss Lady" and pretending to be stupid.

At that time, he looked like a skinny little monkey, not even as tall as Haruno Sakura, and his strength was very poor - although it is still poor now.

But now, Xinzi clearly saw that Naruto had grown a lot taller, taller than Haruno Sakura, and the same height as Sasuke.

She still clearly remembered the sparks in Naruto and Sasuke's eyes when she saw them standing opposite each other.

Even though Naruto has not grown to the level of Sasuke, the strongest weapon Naruto possesses is not the Nine-Tailed Fox or the summoning beast, but his mind.

Xinzi did not deny that Naruto worked hard, nor did she deny that Sasuke worked hard, but she knew that Itachi was an absolute genius in ninjutsu.

"Why did you leave Konoha?" Naruto was silent for a long time before asking in one breath. He seemed to feel uncomfortable again and turned his head away. "Is it because of Sasuke?"

Xinzi chuckled, "What are you thinking about?"

She left, but it was definitely not because of Sasuke. She stayed in Konoha because of Sasuke.

But there are some things that are better to be known by yourself, there is no need to tell Naruto, especially since Naruto can be quite unreliable sometimes.

Naruto was a little dissatisfied, "Obviously, you left after Sasuke left. Sakura said that you never went back!"

Xinzi heard a hint of anger in it.

Still a child after all.

Xinzi looked at Naruto with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't say goodbye when I left."

It was just this reason. After all, when she left, she didn't expect to leave just like that. She didn't expect Itachi to go to the Valley of the End. She originally wanted to go and see if Naruto and Sasuke were safe, and then go back.

At least, Naruto was on his way to pursue Sasuke, so they could say goodbye, but who knew that Naruto was unconscious? Except for Xiao Li, no one else knew she was gone.

"I left at that time, just on a whim. I wanted to go back later, but for some reasons, I didn't go back. Besides, I have contacted Jiraiya. Aren't you training with Jiraiya?"

He was training with Jiraiya, but Jiraiya had never mentioned any news about Kokoro. When Naruto heard that, he immediately became unhappy.

Jiraiya-sensei knows...

Maybe you don’t know?
"But why don't you go back to Konoha?"

Xinzi was silent for a moment, "Didn't you return to Konoha either?"

The way she said this seemed to be telling Naruto that she didn't return to Konoha because she wanted to practice, but in fact, she just wanted to find Itachi.

She didn't want to work so hard for so long only to let Itachi go just because of Konoha. If something happened to him, it would be hard to explain.

Come to think of it, Itachi hasn't had a proper checkup for two months. Someday, he should go to the hospital for a full-body checkup.

Sure enough, Naruto immediately thought that Xinzi was just like him, training outside, so he didn't worry about this issue anymore.

"Then when will you go back?"

"Go back? I don't think he's going back, right?" Xinzi hesitated for a moment, and when she saw Naruto's anxious look, she quickly said, "I'm not going back for now. Sasuke hasn't come back yet. Let's talk about it after he comes back."

Using Sasuke as an excuse was something I had thought of long ago.

"Sasuke..."

When it comes to Sasuke, Naruto feels very depressed.

When Xinzi saw him, she was too embarrassed to say anything and could only laugh dryly, "Okay, Naruto, go back. Sakura will probably be worried."

Naruto then walked back reluctantly.

As expected, Haruno Sakura was waiting halfway. She was relieved to see him come back. She came up angrily and punched Naruto in the back, "Naruto, where have you been? Don't you know that people will be worried?"
