It was night. Naruto walked alone on the streets of Konoha.
Under the dim light, his lonely back stretched very long.
It was already late at night, and there was no one else on the street.
In the distance, bright lights flickered.
Naruto looked up and saw that there was a shop open.
It was a small shop with the words 'Ichiraku Ran' written on the door.
Naruto was taken aback and walked over unconsciously.
"Naruto? Why did you co over so late? Do you want to eat so ran?" Teuchi asked.
Naruto nodded silently and said: "Occhan, I want a huge bowl of miso ran."
"Naruto, your expression feels wrong. What happened?"
It is not strange for Teuchi to say this, after all, this is Naruto, who was usually full of energy whenever he ca here, but now, he suddenly becos so gloomy.
"I'm fine, Teuchi-occhan," Naruto said faintly.
When Teuchi heard this, Teuchi stopped asking more and went to make ran.
Teuchi understands Naruto well. If Naruto doesn't want to say it, there is no need for him to ask more.
Naruto didn't speak any more and just sat in his seat silently.
The sky outside began to rain.
When Naruto heard the rain, he looked out.
It was a light rain, it ca quickly, and it went quickly.
However, it was this light rain that brought Naruto's mory back to his childhood.
That was the first ti he t Kakashi.
It was also raining.
At that ti, he had been hungry for two days, but he had no choice but to co to Teuchi's place, hoping to get so food.
It was at that ti that Naruto t Kakashi.
The first ti he saw Kakashi, Naruto had so doubts in his heart.
'Why did this person cover his face and his left eye?'
And until now, Naruto still didn't know the answer of this question.
Naruto had never seen the face under the mask.
In the future... maybe there will be no chance.
"Shiro...nii."
Naruto's mouth whispered the na that he hadn't used for a long ti.
Although Kakashi refused to let Naruto call himself that way, in Naruto's mind, this na is more important than the na of Kakashi-sensei.
Because that was the first ti he gave soone a nickna.
Naruto looked at the seat beside him.
When they first t, he sat in the present position, and Kakashi was sitting next to him.
"Oh, my na is Hatake Kakashi, it is also very nice to et you."
At that ti, Kakashi said that to him with crescent eye.
At that mont, Kakashi was like a ray of sunlight, illuminating his dark life.
"Naruto, your super-large miso ran is ready."
Teuchi said as he put the ran in front of Naruto.
"Thank you, Teuchi-occhan."
Naruto picked up the chopsticks, but did not eat it imdiately. He just stared at the ran in a daze.
When Kakashi invited him to eat ran for the first ti, it was this super-large miso ran.
Although Naruto ordered it himself.
The spoon scooped up the noodle soup and he gently put it into his mouth.
'That warm feeling never changed.'
Drip...
Tears fell into the noodle soup.
At this mont, Naruto's face was already full of tears.
"Naruto?"
Teuchi asked in surprise.
Naruto didn't answer, but ate big mouthfuls of the ran.
Just like that ti, in front of Kakashi.
"I am very glad that I et you for the first ti. I want to treat you with another bowl of ran. Did you eat more of it?"
'Kakashi-sensei, I really want you to treat a bowl of ran again...'
'Even if it's just once, it's enough...'
Soon, all the ran entered Naruto's stomach.
"Ah, this taste is so amazing," Naruto said softly.
It's just that his expression and words are completely different.
"Naruto, what's wrong with you?" Teuchi asked again. He was a little worried about Naruto's situation.
"It's nothing, Teuchi-occhan. I'll give you the money next ti, goodbye."
After Naruto finished speaking, he turned and left.
Leaving the bewildered Teuchi.
'Did he just leave without paying like that?'
After a long walk, Naruto arrived at his house.
Jūgo and Karin are still on a mission outside and haven't co back yet
Therefore, there is only Naruto alone at this ti.
The empty room seed to make his mood even more solemn.
Lying on his bed, Naruto's eyes were dull.
A scarf hung on the head of the bed.
Naruto gently took it and wrapped it around himself.
This is the first gift in Naruto's life.
That day, the cold wind blew.
Kakashi took off his scarf and put it on Naruto.
Naruto still rembers the warmth clearly.
At this mont, there seed to be a sll of Kakashi on the scarf.
"Kakashi-sensei..."
Naruto clutched the scarf tightly, as if afraid that it will disappear.
Naruto buried his head in his knees and sobbed silently.
Outside the window, Jiraiya watched all of this silently.
'Kakashi, it seems it is so cruel to do this.'
Jiraiya thought in his heart, but he did not say anything.
Growth is originally synonymous with pain.
At this ti, Jiraiya has understood that Naruto is the Child of Prophecy.
Therefore, he must grow up as soon as possible.
Even if the process is painful.
Jiraiya felt guilty in his heart, but still knocked the glass of the window.
Clatter.
The crisp voice roused the crying Naruto.
Looking at the figure outside the window, Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Naruto," Jiraiya called.
"Ero-Sennin...Kakashi-sensei, he..."
Jiraiya landed beside Naruto, and his right hand gently patted his head.
Just like Kakashi usually did.
Naruto was stunned for a while. The feeling was familiar but also kind of unfamiliar.
Turning to look at Jiraiya, the empty left arm looked particularly conspicuous.
"Naruto, Kakashi values you very much. The way you are right now is not what he wants to see."
"Ero-Sennin ... I..."
As Naruto said that, he was silent again.
The feeling of missing a piece in his heart made him feel uncomfortable.
"Kakashi-sensei... When I was very young, he started to take care of . The Shadow Clone Technique was the first Ninjutsu he taught . He told what Shinobi is, what Ninja Way is. He is like my own big brother. I wish he could see the mont I beca the Hokage. Ero-Sennin, did you know? I have an agreent with Kakashi-sensei. As long as I beco a Shinobi that he approves, he will tell about my parents. But this agreent has not been fulfilled yet, but he already left...Kakashi-sensei! You are a big liar!"
Naruto said as tears were overflowing again.
"Naruto..."
Jiraiya looked at Naruto and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Ero-Sennin... your left arm... is the enemy very strong?" Naruto suddenly asked.
Jiraiya nodded silently.
Naruto's expression suddenly beca much firr.
"Ero-Sennin, let's go to Mount Myōboku and continue the unfinished Senjutsu training. I must defeat that enemy!"
