Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 125 Uzumaki Naruto's Birthday

Son of prophecy.

This is the goal that Jiraiya has been pursuing all his life.

However, for Jiraiya, this so-called important mission that he always believed he was carrying might be more like a curse to him.

As long as Jiraiya is still alive in this world, he will never stop searching for the so-called child of prophecy who can change the ninja world.

Only when Jiraiya was about to die did he realize that he had stopped searching for the Child of Prophecy.

that time…

Jiraiya will truly begin to recall his life. In fact, the child predicted by the great toad sage has already appeared among his disciples.

Really…

Why should we be busy all our lives?

Many important people in this world are often met at the beginning of our lives, but when we get too close, we subconsciously ignore them.

Shihara Emiya accepted this rare 4S commission. He raised his eyes and looked at Tsunade: "Tsunade, has your friend left Konoha?"

"That Jiraiya guy? He must be traveling again!"

Tsunade couldn't help but curse Jiraiya, and while lowering her head to check the patient's condition, she answered casually: "He has been looking for the child predicted by the great toad sage, who seems to be able to change the ninja world or something..."

Tsunade did not hide this matter.

This matter is no secret among them.

Jiraiya's friend seemed to be crazy. Whenever the village was peaceful, he would sneak out to look for the so-called child of prophecy, which made Tsunade and Orochimaru disagree with his idea.

That rumor...

It sounds a bit fake.

However, when Tsunade mentioned the story about the child of prophecy, she suddenly looked at Emiya Shihara, wanting to get an answer from here for her friend, because in anyone's opinion there could not be anyone in the world who was more knowledgeable than Emiya Shihara.

"Master Emiya."

"Is there such a thing as prophecy?"

"..."

Emiya Shihara raised his head and glanced at Tsunade's bright brown eyes. His voice suddenly became erratic: "If you believe it, it is real."

"If you believe in something..."

“And be willing to work hard for this to happen…”

"Then the so-called prophecy is real in a sense."

Emiya Shihara's words seemed to be questioning the so-called prophecy, but also seemed to be affirming the truth of the prophecy: "The future has countless possibilities. When a prophecy appears, a certain future that humans will experience is being reflected in advance..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been hiding outside the door, had a look of approval on his face.

Because Shihara Emiya's interpretation of the prophecy has an extremely positive meaning, which is exactly what people like him who like to educate the children in the village need.

"I go first."

"Naruto should be done with school soon."

Emiya Shihara did not mention these anymore and stood up on his own: "I promised to go fishing with him after school today."

"That brat Naruto again!"

Tsunade's forehead couldn't help but jump up, remembering the rewards she never got when she was a child: "Lord Emiya never took me fishing..."

"You're not a child anymore."

Shihara Emiya raised his finger and tapped her forehead: "Today is that child's birthday. You must always fulfill your promise to others..."

"that…"

Shizune stood nearby, holding a pink pig, and asked carefully, "Do you need a birthday cake for him?"

"no need."

Shihara Emiya shook his head and looked at the villagers holding white bouquets on the street outside the window: "Today is not a good day..."

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen outside the door had already left quietly.

Because this day is really not a good day, because it is not only Uzumaki Naruto’s birthday, but also the death anniversary of many people.

even…

For Uzumaki Naruto himself...

Even the current Uzumaki Naruto doesn't know that his birthday is also the anniversary of his parents' death.

riverside.

Uzumaki Naruto was happily making a crude fishing rod.

During this period, Uzumaki Naruto lived a very happy life.

Because he finally met someone in the village who was truly willing to accept him and treat him like a friend, even better than Grandpa Hokage, as if he could tolerate everything about him.

Although…

The other person always does things and speaks with a cold face, and never likes to joke around...

but…

Uzumaki Naruto can truly feel the other party's kindness, and even Uzumaki Naruto no longer needs to call the other party "senior" and can start calling him by his name!

This kindness...

It's so rare in his life.

The villagers of Konoha hated his existence so much that he would even be scolded if he bought things from the store. The little guy didn't know the reason, he just kept trying hard to get more people's recognition.

pity…

This seems to be a really difficult thing.

Uzumaki Naruto can only be sure of one thing, that only by becoming Hokage in the future can he gain everyone's recognition and make more friends. Even his new friend Emiya Shihara agrees with his idea!
"that time…"

“It won’t be just me.”

"Maybe some friends will celebrate my birthday with me!"

Uzumaki Naruto bit a fishing line tightly in the corner of his mouth, and began to imagine happily that he would become a Hokage and escape from loneliness when he grew up.

When people are lonely...

Or when you have no idea...

I always want to imagine some ideal world to make myself happy.

but…

Uzumaki Naruto thought he was different. He had been working hard to become a Hokage. He worked hard to learn how to become a ninja in school, even though his talent was not very good and he always failed to learn ninjutsu inexplicably because of his chakra...

"Speaking of which..."

"Why hasn't Emiya come yet..."

After Uzumaki Naruto finished winding the fishing line in his hand, he looked up at the setting sun and suddenly felt nervous: "Is he not coming? He should keep his word, right? He promised to go fishing with me today..."

and…

Today is his birthday.

Perhaps today might be the only birthday I won’t spend alone. “Humph, this brat…”

The Nine-Tailed Fox inside Uzumaki Naruto groaned to itself.

This stupid little devil...

Did you really think that Emiya Shi was here to keep him company?

If it weren't for the fact that this brat's spirit had never entered the sealed space of the tailed beasts, and they had never had any contact with each other, the Nine-Tails would really want to have a good chat with Uzumaki Naruto so that this brat wouldn't have to be so self-indulgent here!
and…

Do you doubt Emiya Shihara?

Only Emiya Shihara's friends would never doubt him!

Kyuubi didn't think that Shihara Emiya would cheat on a little guy, nor did he think that Shihara Emiya would break his promise. He came a little late today. Did something happen to delay him? Did he encounter a difficult disease that was difficult to solve?

Uzumaki Naruto began to feel a little depressed, and the Nine-Tails in his body was absent-mindedly thinking about the reason why Emiya Shihara was late.

The sun finally set.

The red sunset turned into a red line.

Just when Uzumaki Naruto was feeling uneasy and even dejected, a familiar voice appeared behind him.

"It's a little late."

Emiya Shihara's voice was still calm, as if being late was not something he needed to care about: "But it doesn't look too late."

“Emiya…”

When Uzumaki Naruto turned around with some surprise, he saw a long package thrown towards him, which he hurriedly picked up subconsciously!

pat!

Uzumaki Naruto held the package in his arms in disbelief!

“Is this… a fishing rod?”

Naruto Uzumaki opened the package with joy on his face and saw a set of fishing rods inside.

"Wait…is this a gift?"

Compared with the fishing rod used for fishing, Uzumaki Naruto had a vague unrealistic guess in his mind.

He had never received such a formal gift before, and even on his birthday, no one actually remembered it, so he never dared to celebrate his birthday.

Uzumaki Naruto realized that he might have received a gift. He held the gift tightly in his hands and subconsciously refused to let go. His eyes were red as he looked at Emiya Shihara nervously: "Is this... a birthday present for me?"

"Um…"

Emiya Shihara nodded indifferently.

"why?"

Uzumaki Naruto subconsciously wanted to ask this question, but quickly wanted to close his mouth. He was a little afraid that his question was a bit abrupt.

"because…"

Emiya Shihara was silent for a while, then he put his hand on his head and ruffled his hair: "Are you the first person to start calling me Emiya?"

"..."

Kyuubi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

What the hell kind of reason is this!

Even in ancient times, old man Liudao would respectfully address you as Lord Emiya. This little brat is clearly being impolite!
Why should we reward this impolite kid?

That's a bit bad...

The more Kyuubi thought about it, the more unhappy he became.

This kid is the Jinchūriki that he particularly hates. Could it be that this kid will still be favored by Emiya Shihara in the future?

"Grow up quickly...Naruto."

Emiya Shihara stroked his forehead, as if he was full of expectations for this child. He was also truly looking forward to the other party growing up quickly.

"Hey Hey…"

Uzumaki Naruto smiled and hugged the gift in his arms tightly. He didn't understand what Emiya Shihara meant and just wanted to take the gift home as soon as possible and keep it as a treasure.

This birthday...

I believe he will never forget it when he grows up.

Unfortunately…

This joy cannot be shared with others.

Because Uzumaki Naruto has discovered that every time it is his birthday, everyone in the village is unhappy and even hates him more. Even his classmates seem a little depressed, which makes him dare not share his joy.

but…

Uzumaki Naruto didn't care that much anymore.

Because he knows that he has already received a lot on his birthday.

Just when Uzumaki Naruto and Emiya Shihara's relationship was getting better and better, and they even looked forward to meeting Emiya Shihara every day, Jiraiya returned to Konoha from Mount Myoboku.

however…

Jiraiya went to see Shihara Emiya as soon as possible, and without caring whether Shihara knew about it or not, he told Shihara Emiya the prophecy he got from the Great Toad Sage, trying to find out Shihara Emiya's attitude in some way.

These thoughts…

Jiraiya didn't tell Tsunade.

Because his idea was very dangerous, Tsunade would definitely not accept it, and no one would think that Emiya Shihara might endanger the ninja world.

but…

This is a warning from the Great Toad Immortal.

Jiraiya dared not ignore the potential danger no matter what. He was extremely conflicted, wanting to get information but not daring to test it too much.

"Mister Emiya..."

Jiraiya carefully asked Emiya Shihara what he was thinking. He also hoped that everything would develop in a good way: "Do you believe in the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage? Do you believe that in the future of the ninja world, there will be a child who can bring changes to the world?"

"Gamamaru's prophecy..."

A smile appeared on Emiya Shihara's face. He did not expose Jiraiya's uneasiness and showed great interest in the prediction of the Great Toad Sage.

"You have found an excellent disciple..."

"And this disciple happens to have the ideal of changing the world..."

"Then when he grows up in the future, he will be able to change the world like Hashirama did in the past. This seems to be in line with the logic of the world."

After Emiya Shihara finished his theory, he suddenly asked his own question: "However, in Gamamaru's prophecy, the most important person should be you as a teacher. Where is your disciple now?"

"..."

Jiraiya's face immediately became somewhat depressed.

Because he had only accepted four disciples in his life, among whom the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion, and Yahiko, Nagato and Konan from the Land of Rain, and the Toad from Mount Myōboku sent him information, but those three disciples died in the war...

All dead.

Not a single disciple survived.

Among them, the ones that Jiraiya had the highest hopes for were Nagato and Minato Namikaze. These two disciples were the most likely to become the children of prophecy.

"They're... all dead."
