Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future

Chapter 182: A Father and Son Talk



The sunlight outside the window was very bright, proving that it was already the next morning.

The sunlight reflected on the wind chime, reflecting a bright light; judging from its texture alone, this was not ordinary decoration.

Sasuke swallowed.

He longed for it to be real, but he was also afraid it was just a decoration.

But after hesitating for a moment, Sasuke was ready to try it.

But as he was about to ring the bell.

*BANG!*

The ward door was carelessly opened, and the naive Naruto jumped in, followed by Sakura who smelled of tea.

"Sasuke! Are you alright?"

Sakura rushed towards Sasuke like an idiot, crying with tears in her eyes.

"Sasuke, what did you do yesterday? Which bad guy hurt you?"

Naruto also clenched his fists angrily.

They only knew that Sasuke was injured and hospitalized, but they didn't know what actually happened.

At the same time, Kakashi woke up with a start and stared at Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura, who were unburdened.

Then he sighed in relief.

It turned out he was too tired and had a nightmare.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry, just go!"

Sasuke was quite happy with Naruto and Sakura's visit. They were also his only friends in the village.

But could they not make trouble at this critical moment?

Sasuke, who wanted revenge, now just wanted to test the power of the wind chime to see if he was dreaming?

"Enough!"

"Let Sasuke rest more and get out of here."

Kakashi picked up Naruto and Sakura and took them out of the ward together, preparing to let Sasuke rest well.

"Kakashi!"

Sasuke stopped Kakashi-sensei.

"Hm?"

"Was that person here?"

"Did you see him?!"

Kakashi was surprised and of course knew that Sasuke was referring to Itachi.

But didn't that mean Sasuke had been unconscious the whole time? How did he know Itachi was here?

Could it be that he secretly woke up halfway through?

"Indeed, that bastard did come!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth in anger, his nails digging into his flesh, showing the hatred he felt for Itachi in his heart.

At the same time, the illusionary dream built by Lux last night was mistakenly taken as reality.

"Don't overthink it, rest first. The village has also increased its vigilance and won't let them sneak in secretly again."

Kakashi also knew that simple persuasion was useless for this kind of bloody feud, so he could only tell Sasuke to rest first.

Then he also left the room, preparing to get food for himself and Sasuke.

"Kakashi-sensei, what happened to Sasuke?"

"Nothing, it's nothing you need to worry about. Naruto, don't you need to train with Jiraiya-sama today?"

"The Ero Sennin said he would get materials outside the village and asked me to rest today."

"Okay, then don't forget to train. The current situation."

"Situation?"

"Don't worry. Your performance last time was amazing."

Kakashi also left after a few words of comfort.

Naruto looked at Sakura who was still guarding outside the ward and paying a lot of attention to Sasuke, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

Indeed, Sakura still liked handsome men!

For him, he also missed his best chance last time because of eating expired food.

Then, Naruto thought about Sasuke's unexplained injury, and his mood became worse.

He left the hospital alone.

❀❀❀

After leaving the hospital, Naruto walked alone.

He felt he didn't have the energy to do anything.

He wanted to eat a bowl of ramen, but it turned out he didn't have any money, so he had no choice but to give up.

As Naruto was walking, he suddenly found a figure next to him.

"It's you!" Naruto was very excited.

Seeing the yellow-haired masked ninja suddenly appear beside him, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.

"Naruto." Minato murmured, rarely knowing how to talk.

"You're the masked brother who saved me that day, right?"

"It's me."

"Thank you! And you're really strong! This is the first time I've seen a masked ninja as strong as you."

Naruto was quite excited and expressed his sincere gratitude to Minato.

"No need to thank me, it was just to protect the village. And you're also very good. At this age, you can summon Gamabunta."

"Do you know the Toad Boss too?"

"I know…"

"Brother, who are you?"

Naruto was very curious, because Jiraiya said there shouldn't be any other ninjas who made contracts with Mount Myoboku.

Minato felt sour in his heart and wanted to admit it, but he still held back.

"Sorry. I'm an ANBU ninja, and I can't reveal my identity at will."

"Ah! I see, I shouldn't have asked." Naruto scratched his head and felt a little guilty.

"It's okay. By the way, is that girl you like?"

"Sakura? Ah! How do you know?"

Naruto was embarrassed, his mind still spinning.

"Why do you like her?"

"Ah, this…"

Naruto was a little embarrassed, but for some reason, facing this yellow-haired brother, he always had the urge to confide in him calmly.

So he confessed: "She's beautiful! She has the forehead and hair color I like. Even though she always hits me, I still like her."

The corner of Minato's mouth lifted slightly behind his mask.

'Does this kid really resemble me? They all like wide foreheads and beautiful hair."

'Speaking of which, Sakura does resemble Kushina in many ways. All I can say is, does my kid really have the same vision as me?'

"I see, it's just that she doesn't seem to like you very much."

"I know." Naruto felt a little lonely. He had endless fantasies about the person he liked. The feeling of not getting what he wanted was really painful.

"Are you giving up?"

"No! I won't give up."

"Even if she doesn't like you now, she doesn't necessarily have to like you in the future."

"I-I will definitely become Hokage in the future! She will like me then!"

Naruto said firmly, also trying to comfort himself.

"Do you want to become Hokage? What a great goal! I believe you can do it!"

"Really? Do you also want to believe in me? Except for Iruka-sensei, they all say I'm bragging and ostracize me, saying it's impossible for me to become Hokage."

"They all ostracize you?"

"Yes! They always say that I turned into a demon fox and am the perpetrator who killed everyone. I rarely play with my peers."

"What about your parents?"

"I haven't seen them. I heard they died when I was born."

"Don't you blame them?"

"I can't say I blame them. After all, they gave me life. It's just that sometimes I'm very envious of my other friends."

Especially when he was a child, when everyone was called home by their parents for dinner, Naruto could only stand alone in the open space, becoming a homeless person.

To say that he wasn't envious or sad was clearly a lie.

There were other kids whose parents could always buy them all kinds of delicious food, but often he couldn't even afford to buy instant noodles with the coins in his pocket. How could he not be envious?

"I see… You seem to have had a hard time when you were a kid!"

Minato hummed, unable to hear sadness or joy in his tone.

"It's a little bit. But I'm used to it!"

Naruto replied indifferently. He never held a grudge or complained about the past.

He always had endless expectations for the future and was full of optimism.

*GRRRR!*

At that moment, Naruto's stomach rumbled, as if protesting.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"Haven't you had breakfast?"

"No money."

"No money for breakfast? How come? It shouldn't be."

Minato frowned slightly, smelling something wrong.

Not to mention his large death pension, Kushina's inheritance alone was a huge sum!

Any Uzumaki Clan sealing technique could be sold for a sky-high price.

There was also the large house left by the family, as well as a large amount of savings.

How could Naruto not have money?

"There's a monthly subsidy from the village, and the Third Hokage-jiji also helps me from time to time. But it's barely enough to eat, and I spend it randomly from time to time."

Due to the long-term hostility from the villagers, Naruto was quite rebellious as a child.

The small amount of subsidy would be used to buy paint and graffiti on the Hokage Rock to express protest.

But in the end, it was because no one cared, and also because he was too poor.

As a result, Naruto often felt hungry.

When he was hungry, he would go out of the village to go fishing, pick fruit, pick mushrooms, and make soup, these were all commonplace.

Although he didn't know which mushrooms were poisonous, sometimes he ate poisonous mushrooms.

But for him, being able to fill his stomach was the happiest thing.

Naruto spoke cautiously.

He seemed to want to pour out all the grievances and past that were in his heart. He had never told anyone about this pain and suffering of his childhood, but at this moment, he really wanted to pour it out.

Minato listened and accompanied him.

No words were spoken, no interruptions were made.

But the terrifying and majestic chakra condensed and surged at a very fast speed, as if breaking through the shackles of the body, which indicated that someone would be unlucky!
