Naruto

"Naruto, my words were offensive during the Chuunin Exam before. Please forgive me." At the door of the ninja shop, Neji bowed deeply to Naruto.

"Huh? What's the offense?" Naruto recalled the scene at that time and scratched his head in confusion.

"I once... called you a very bad word." Ningji said with an apology on his face.

"Monsters, orphans, humanoid weapons... aren't these all quite appropriate? There's nothing wrong with that." Naruto spread his hands and said nonchalantly.

"appropriate?"

"I was an orphan from birth, and I have been the strategic reserve weapon of Konoha Village since I was a child. I scared you to the point of sweating in the Hokage's office before. What am I if you are not a monster? But although I am a monster, I am not the kind of person who can act randomly.

A monster that hurts others." Naruto said with a smile.

Neji felt that everything he wanted to say was blocked in his throat and he couldn't say it out.

"This guy was born with a missing piece of his brain. He will talk nonsense from time to time. Just get used to it." Sakura flipped through a book with a gray cover without even raising her eyelids.

Sakura knew Naruto's situation when he was a child, and of course she knew very well how much the word "monster" hurt him. Because of this, she was surprised by the latter's attempt to comfort Neji at the same time as adding salt to his own wounds.

Angry off the ground.

Does this idiot really think he is everyone's savior?

"Sakura, why are you suddenly... angry? Did I say something wrong just now?" Naruto noticed the anger in Sakura's tone and asked cautiously.

"Idiot, if you are a monster, wouldn't we become weirdos who associate with monsters?" Sakura raised her right fist and glared at Naruto fiercely.

"Is that so? I've never thought about it from this perspective before, haha... Ahem, I promise not to mention this word again in the future." Naruto's heart warmed, and he giggled a few times, and then looked at Sakura.

Under the stern eyes, he quickly changed his words and made a vow.

"Humph." Sakura made a nasal sound expressing dissatisfaction and opened the book in her hand again.

"Huh-" Naruto breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his sleeves, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

("It seems that this girl really cares about you, Naruto..." Kushina's tone contained a subtle meaning.

"Yes, Mom. Being able to meet so many kind-hearted people is the most precious gift that fate has given me." A happy smile appeared on Naruto's face.)

"Is this how you get along every day? It's really interesting." Neji walked to Naruto's side, his thin eyebrows slightly stretched, and he commented with a slight smile.

"If you were the one getting beaten every day, you wouldn't find it interesting." Naruto muttered a few times, then bumped Neji's chest with his elbow and asked in a familiar voice, "By the way, Neji

, have the conflicts between you and the Zong family been resolved?"

"Hisashi-sama explained his difficulties to me and gave me his father's last letter, but..." Ningci stopped talking.

Naruto did not rush Neji, but acted as a quiet listener, looking at him with encouraging eyes.

“The Caged Bird Curse Seal Still

It's like a giant net, binding me tightly. Hizu-sama didn't give me this letter when I was most paranoid, but he revealed it now, I'm afraid..." Maybe he thinks that Naruto is a

A friend worthy of deep friendship, Neji frankly told him about his embarrassing situation in the family.

"...It's not out of pure brotherhood, I understand. But it at least shows that in his eyes you are a genius worth cultivating, not a pawn that can be discarded at any time. The saddest thing in the world is not being used by others.

People, but people who have no use value at all.”

"We all still have value that can be exploited, which is already a blessing in itself, Neji." Naruto said earnestly.

Didn't he have a similar relationship with Konoha? It's just that he was lucky. The third generation grandfather loved him very much and did not allow other people in Konoha Village to plant similar curse marks on him. Otherwise, he would have had no resistance at all.

He would be like Neji now, like a caged bird, even his life would be at the mercy of others.

Thinking of this, Naruto was determined to help Neji get rid of such shackles.

("Dad, do you have any solution to the Cage Bird Curse Seal?" Naruto held Minato's waist in the spiritual space and raised his head and asked.

"Throw a tailed beast jade spiral shuriken at the Hyuga clan. This kind of curse mark can be lifted after the host dies." Kyuubi poked his long nose over and made a suggestion that was very consistent with his personality.

"You can actually tell cold jokes now, Kurama. It seems that you have been mentally contaminated by me." Naruto walked up to Kyuubi's ferocious mouth and skillfully combed the hair on his chin with both hands.

joked.

"Hmph, you humans always like to complicate simple problems." Kyuubi closed his eyes, enjoying the tickling feeling when Naruto's hands brushed his fur, but he did not give in at all.

"Who says it isn't?" Naruto sighed lightly without refuting.

Minato watched the interaction between Naruto and Kyuubi silently, and after a while he spoke out: "There are three strategies to remove the Caged Bird Curse Seal from Ningji. The best strategy is to study the structure of this curse seal clearly.

Forcibly disbanding; the middle strategy is to let him perform outstanding achievements and establish a good relationship with the clan, and then ask the head of the clan to disband him; the best strategy is to establish long-term peace around the world, slowly weaken the power of the ninja clan, and change the whole society.

The value orientation has completely destroyed the necessity and social foundation for the existence of this curse seal."

Naruto didn't stop moving his hands, and replied: "The risk of the worst strategy is too high, and it will make Neji and the Hyuga family at odds; the middle strategy depends on people's noses and faces; only the best strategy is the complete solution. But establishing a long-term

Peace, promote social progress, oh, Dad, you really think highly of me."

"This is also the dream you have been chasing, isn't it? Just think of finding another reason for yourself to succeed." Minato smiled.)

"...Thank you for saying so much to me, Naruto." Neji whispered his thanks.

"As long as you don't think I'm nosy." Naruto narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Suddenly, a passionate voice rang from the direction of the ninja shop: "Sakura, please join us.

Let me date you! I will definitely protect you with my life!"

Neji and Naruto looked at each other and sighed at the same time. When they turned around, they found, as expected, that Xiao Li, who had just walked out of the store, was looking at Sakura with eager eyes, showing his shining white teeth.

Sakura put away the book, raised her head stiffly, looked at Xiao Li's whole body, and said word by word: "Absolutely not."

"Why?" The girl he had a crush on rejected without hesitation, and Xiao Li was very unwilling.

"Your eyebrows are too thick and you don't look good. Even that idiot over there looks better than you." Sakura raised her eyebrows and replied calmly.

Hey, what does your emotional entanglement have to do with me? I don't drag people into trouble like this! Naruto felt Xiao Li's angry eyes and secretly groaned in his heart.

"Naruto, put your man's dignity on the line and come and challenge me!" Xiao Li jumped in front of Naruto, raised his right palm, slightly bent his legs forward, and shouted passionately.

"Ah, seeing how you are showing off your youthful energy for the girl you love now, I feel like I am more than ten years younger." A watermelon-headed ninja wearing green tights appeared next to the two of them instantly.

"Teacher Kai, it's great that you understand!" Xiao Li stood up straight again and shouted excitedly.

"In the face of a powerful opponent, you can rise to the challenge. You are truly worthy of me, Li!" Metkai gave a thumbs up.

"Teacher Kai!"

"Li!" The two hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

So Xiao Li, what kind of girlfriend are you looking for? Wouldn’t it be good to live a happy sex life with your teacher Kai without any shame?

Naruto was completely ignored by the two of them, scratched his head in embarrassment, and asked: "Hey, let me tell you, did you forget that there is an exciting fugitive hunt waiting for us?"

"Of course not, we will set off after Tenten is ready!" Kai walked up to Naruto, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed his right hand exaggeratedly to the northwest of Taki Country.

"I kept you waiting!" A girl with two cute buns on her head and a sky blue backpack walked out of the ninja shop.

"Ah, Tenten, you're here! Have you brought everything?" Naruto waved briskly to the black-haired girl.

Tenten saw his eyes focused on her, and somehow he remembered the ferocious fox head that appeared on Naruto's body in the Hokage's office before, and the rumor that had been circulating in the village about the disaster thirteen years ago,

Subconsciously, he took a small step back and said hesitantly: "Yes...yes, Naruto."

Naruto didn't seem to notice the fearful expression on Tiantian's face at all. He formed the Ren seal with his hands and said angrily: "Then let's set off immediately!"

As his words fell, everyone felt a warm hand on their shoulders at the same time. Their eyes blurred, and the surrounding scene instantly changed from a busy street corner to a dark cave, with deep traces on the cave walls.

Deep arc scratches.

"Welcome to the Buwei Valley, the natural border between the Land of Taki and the Land of Fire." Naruto stood at the entrance of the cave and announced loudly to everyone.

"ha?"
