Naruto Paradise

So I was a little overwhelmed for a while.

"It's still early to go home. I want to eat ramen. You..."

Naruto got off the swing. He didn't want to go back to his cold little nest so soon, but suddenly when he saw other classmates being taken home by their families, he felt a little empty in his heart.

He searched his pockets and wanted to treat the Uchiha who was talking to him to some ramen and ask him if his dream last night was real, but he stopped talking.

It's simple. The money in my pocket is not even enough for a bowl of ramen, not enough to treat everyone.

"You want to buy me ramen?"

The Uchiha Kage saw through Naruto's thoughts, including his embarrassment, at a glance.

"Yes, but...but I, I don't have any money right now."

Naruto spread his hands out in embarrassment.

"Why did you invite me?"

"Because... I feel like you're similar to Shikamaru and Choji, and maybe you could be my friend... and we could get along."

Not just today, but also last night in that strange dream, he was the only one who called out to me and told me to find a place to hide.

If that wasn't a dream, maybe I would have one more friend.

Naruto thought silently in his mind.

"is it?"

In order not to attract attention, the Uchiha Kage rarely had contact with Naruto.

But he didn't expect Naruto to approach him.

and……

He didn't know why, maybe because he had read comics in his previous life, but he always felt that Naruto was a very friendly guy.

"Then don't eat ramen. Even Ichiraku Ramen isn't as healthy as home-cooked meals."

"Home? I..."

We are all orphans without parents, so where can we find a home?

Naruto didn't know what the Uchiha Kage meant by saying this.

"Would you like to try Sasuke's cooking?"

"That Sasuke guy can cook!?"

Naruto was surprised and disbelieving at first, then he raised his head and looked at the black-haired boy in front of him, with a light in his eyes that rarely appeared.

Could it be that Uchiha Kage is inviting him to dinner?

"Will you come?"

"of course yes!"

Seeing that the Uchiha Kage had really invited him, Naruto couldn't help but jump up and down with joy.

He even almost tore the old swing in front of the school gate apart.

"I don't believe the food that guy cooks is edible!"

I didn’t expect that Ying is such a good person!

And when Naruto thought that he might be able to eat the food cooked by that arrogant guy Sasuke, he felt so excited.

-

quack--

The crude cry of a crow echoed from a tall tree.

The black-clad ninja standing on the branch looked at the two young men walking together in the distance while stuffing a piece of paper into the leg of the carrier pigeon on his arm.

'The Uchiha's orphan shadow is contacting the Nine-Tails'

After a while, the flying pigeon fluttered back to the shoulder of the black-clad ninja.

There was also a reply letter in the wooden tube on the pigeon's leg -

"Find a way to get rid of this useless Uchiha Kage. Be careful not to let the Jinchuriki notice."

The black-clad ninja read the contents of the note respectfully, then crumpled it into pieces with his hands.

Then, in just a few leaps, he caught up with the two young men heading towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

-

"Tsk, I thought the ninja who was monitoring us today had gone to rest, but I didn't expect him to follow us."

The Uchiha Kage secretly rolled his eyes and soon discovered that the masked ninja who was far away from them before was now rushing towards them at a high speed.

"It's a bit troublesome..."

I thought that since Naruto took the initiative to contact him, it shouldn't cause any reaction from the Anbu or Danzo.

But the Uchiha Kage still underestimated the status of the words Nine-Tailed Fox and Uchiha in the minds of the old coins of Konoha.

The person who came might have bad intentions, but it's impossible to go back on his word and let Naruto go back now.

and……

The Uchiha Kage glanced at a corner of the wall not far away.

Let's see how things develop next. It's impossible that he would be silenced just because he invited Naruto to dinner, right?

"Ying, what trouble did you just say?"

Naruto was still bragging to the Uchiha Kage about what he had seen and heard in Konoha, and he didn't notice what was happening around him at all.

"No, it's nothing."

Silently hiding a kunai in his sleeve, Uchiha Kage walked forward as if nothing had happened, while being alert to his surroundings.

"Oh no! There's a little kitten about to fall from the tree. I have to save it!"

Suddenly, the cry of a kitten attracted Naruto's attention. Worried about the kitten, he quickly rushed to a big tree in front.

The Uchiha Kage who was left behind suddenly tensed up.

That cat looks like bait!

Could it be that the guy who was monitoring Naruto really planned to attack him?

Ding!

Just as Uchiha Kage was about to react, he saw two black shadows appear in the air in front of him, and the collision of blades occurred in an instant.

After several more clanging sounds, a female ninja with purple hair and wearing an Anbu mask appeared in front of Uchiha Kage.

In front of the two of them, another black-clad ninja, also wearing a mask, was holding up the long sword in his hand with some annoyance.

"Who are you to attack the villagers for no reason?"

The purple-haired female ninja coldly held her sword horizontally in front of the Uchiha Kage.

She was an Anbu sent by the Third Hokage to guard Naruto, but she never expected that someone would attack Uchiha, a fellow villager and ninja trainee, in broad daylight.

"have a finger in the pie!"

The black-clothed ninja with a deep voice looked at the purple-haired female Anbu in front of him with dissatisfaction, but when he saw that Naruto, who had rescued the kitten not far away, was about to come back, he had no choice but to retract his sword sullenly, and then disappeared into the corner of the house in a few breaths.

"Root's people?"

Even if the other party didn't reveal his identity, the purple-haired female ninja could probably guess it.

Apart from the people of the Root, it is impossible for anyone else to act so arrogantly in Konoha Village.

"Thank you."

The Uchiha Kage pretended to be attacked but didn't know what happened, and thanked the masked female ninja in front of him.

"No, protecting the villagers of Konoha is our responsibility as Anbu."

The purple-haired female ninja glanced at the timid boy behind her, then looked at the Hokage statue on the Hokage Rock not far away.

Then he also disappeared from the spot.

There are only two Uchiha left now, Danzo...and the people from the Root are not going to let them go.

What happened today must be reported to the Hokage.

She thought to herself with some annoyance.

Chapter 6: Pure Bloodline

"Hokage-sama, this is the list of this year's graduates."

Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was leisurely looking through the list information submitted by Iruka.

"Among them, Uchiha Sasuke performed the best..."

"Where's Naruto?"

Interrupting Iruka's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned to the last page of the list.

The above shows that Naruto ranked last in the written test, and his physical test and shuriken throwing were average. Except for the transformation technique, he failed the other two ninjutsu techniques: substitution technique and clone technique.

"Naruto will most likely not be able to graduate this year."

It had already been decided that the graduation test for this year's Ninja School would be the Clone Technique, and Naruto...

Thinking back to the various "dead people" that Naruto had created using the clone technique, Iruka kept shaking his head.

"Yeah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and turned to the Uchiha page.

"Besides Uchiha Sasuke, how are the results of the Uchiha Kage?"

"That's great too. I should be able to become a capable ninja in the future."

If Naruto is the most troublesome person in the class, then Uchiha Kage is undoubtedly the most obedient student in the class.

Iruka had a very good impression of Uchiha Kage.

"To receive such an evaluation, it seems that you like him very much?"

"Anyone who sees that child will..."

dong dong.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama requests an audience."

Just as Iruka was talking to Sarutobi Hiruzen, there was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Danzo?"

After a moment of hesitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen knew why Danzo came.

Because he had already seen what was happening outside in the crystal ball, and someone from the Anbu had just come to report.

But he didn't expect that this guy would come to him before he even went to find him.

Of course, even after knowing the whole story, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face remained expressionless.

"Let him in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he waved to Iruka beside him.

"Yes!"

Iruka gathered the ninja trainees' information together and respectfully exited the office.
