Konoha Village. Naruto’s house.
At this moment, Naruto’s small house was already filled with all kinds of thanks. There were too many people who have benefited from Namikaze Minato.
In the beginning, only the villagers came to visit, but as more and more people visited, they either thanked or apologized, etc. Seeing some of this situation, some ninjas finally felt sorry and brought ‘on the surface’ a thank you gift. Of course, this did not include those who were already informed.
This also led to the fact that during this time, when Li Yaoxiang left Konoha, Naruto was almost busy socializing with each and everyone who came to visit.
Although he was overwhelmed, Naruto enjoyed it. Because Naruto thought that the more enthusiastic everyone is and the more gratitude people gave to him, it meant that he became more popular.
The long-awaited days finally appeared.
And the time came on this day, the visiting crowd finally stopped. Naruto finally got the opportunity to go out for experience for himself to see his dream life.
Naruto looked solemnly across the floor; it was filled with one after another thanks. He looked inside the closet. Now the clothes in the closet were completely new—no need to wear clothes like before.
After getting a new coat at random, Naruto put it on directly. Then, he ran out. He walked on the snow in hurdles, but at this time, his pace seemed a lot joyful with a kind of impatient feeling and a big smile on his face.
Not much time passed, the playful sounds of the children, ‘hehe haha’, passed into his ears.
Naruto was overjoyed. He sped up to the direction where the voice came out.
What came into view was a group of children of his age who were frolicking in the snow.
“Hahahaha! I want to play too! Let’s play together!”
Naruto ran past with a laugh. He thought from the bottom of his heart that everyone would play with him and that they wouldn’t hate him as much as before.
However, the reality is completely inconsistent with his imagination.
He laughed ‘hehe’ and came to everyone, waiting for everyone’s warm welcome. But everyone on the scene stopped the slapstick. They stupidly stood there.
The first reaction came from the parents who took care of the children. They quickly went to the child, and dragged the child behind them, then apologized to Naruto: “Sorry, Naruto. It’s getting late, and it’s time for us to return.”
“Yes, yes. It’s been too long today, and the children are tired.”
“Yeah, there’s still some chores to do at home. I have to go to the market to buy food.”
With the first person uttered the words. Other people follow one after another.
Naruto was only momentarily quiet and then said with a big smile completely improperly: “Hahaha, it’s okay! Let’s play together next time.”
Witnessing everyone leaving at a hurried pace, Naruto turned around and ran happily.
Not long after, he came to a group of playful children again. He asked to play together. It is a pity that the situation at the scene was exactly the same as just now. After the parents gave various reasons, they then rushed away with the child.
“Hey~ It seems that it’s a little late to go out today.” He looked at everyone leaving in front of him again. The always cheerful and optimistic Naruto couldn’t help feeling a little lost in his heart, but he quickly reminded himself angrily said, “It’s okay! Go out early tomorrow!”
……..
Early the next morning, Naruto wanted to quickly experience the pleasure of having fun with everyone. He ran out without even having breakfast. However, the situation encountered was exactly the same as yesterday.
The child’s parents said a lot of reasons and then quickly took the child away.
This was the first day. The same was true for the second day. On the third day, it became more exaggerated. Naruto could not even find the children.
At this moment, Naruto finally realized that something was wrong. Although everyone did not look at him with that kind of “disgust”, they still avoided him as before.
What the hell is this all about?
‘Didn’t everyone give me gifts a while ago?’
‘Didn’t everyone already accept me?’
‘Why is this still the case?’
Just as Naruto was about to be unable to accept the fact in front of him, Li Yaoxiang not only did not speak mockeries this time but also explained his confusion: “It’s normal for them to have this reaction.”
The appearance of the voice made Naruto calm down.
“Why? Why is this normal? Didn’t everyone accepts me? Don’t you hate me? Why do you treat me like this?”
Li Yaoxiang: “What they agree with is your father, not you. Don’t you forget the fact that inside your body resides a demon fox? How does this allow everyone to approach you with confidence? How would they play with you feeling safe?”
Hearing that it was because of Kyuubi that caused this; at this time, Naruto became even more nervous. Because the sealed Kyuubi inside his body was not something that he can change.
“Then, what should I do? Do I have to live my old life again?”
Li Yaoxiang explained patiently: “It’s very simple If you think about it. If the demon fox is not sealed in your body but sealed inside your father’s body, will everyone still be like this? They won’t need to worry about you.”
Naruto was stunned for a moment and then was a bit embarrassed: “But… but… isn’t dad dead? How do you seal the big fox to dad’s body?”
“Hah…” Li Yaoxiang took a deep breath. He almost got mad by this second fool.
It seems that the 8% blackening level really cannot change how much Naruto is.
Naruto heard this ‘inhalation sound’, and thought that the ‘Owner of Sound’ would scold Naruto stupidly and other uncomfortable words. He was all ready to be scolded, but then there were no more words uttered.
Hearing that Li Yaoxiang didn’t say a word for a long time, Naruto asked only weakly: “Don’t tell me…….. Don’t tell me…….. Is there really no other method other than sealing the big fox in my dad’s body?”
Li Yaoxiang: “…”
Li Yaoxiang tried hard to suppress his emotions. He kept reminding himself to be calm. What is to be done now is to encourage Naruto and let Naruto reach the pinnacle of life.
Immediately, Li Yaoxiang changed his tone to coax a child for the first time: “Of course, there is a way! The reason why they are not afraid of the demon fox inside your body is because your father was the one who sealed it! They are rest assured because they recognized your father’s strength. It’s very simple, actually. As long as you practice hard and prove to everyone that you can be like your father and have enough ability to prevent the demon fox from harming everyone, everyone will accept you and play with you!”
Naruto rekindled hope again: “Really… really?!”
Li Yaoxiang: “Of course!”
