And at this moment, just after leaving the door of Sasuke’s house, there was such a silhouette suddenly on the silent street. Naruto was surprised.
‘This late, why would there be any people here?’
But after seeing clearly the appearance of the coming person, Naruto’s face could not help but sink: “Why did you come here?”
The person coming was Kakashi!
Compared to Naruto, Kakashi cared more about Sasuke, the orphan of the Uchiha clan. For Kakashi, Naruto was nothing more than the teacher’s son in the past. Taking care of Naruto can be said to be thinking of the past love, not looking after Naruto, and owing nothing to Naruto. At most, people say that they don’t miss old feelings. —But Sasuke was different. In this life, Kakashi felt the one he owes the most was Obito. After all, Obito sacrificed his life to rescue him. This was an undeniable fact! So, when he heard that Obito’s clan was destroyed. The first thing he thought of was to see the orphan Sasuke, to see if Sasuke needs his help, hoping to make up for his debt to Obito.
The reason why Kakashi did not make such a move in the original work is because this life is very different from the original work!
Since learning of the death of his father, he finally came out from the shadows. His father was right! The wrong one is the companion who framed his father! —He can finally face up Obito bravely. He even goes to Obito’s tomb to talk about his own affairs every day.
These all were obviously different from the original work, where he needed to wait until Sarutobi Hiruzen to deploy him to the team instructor like the original book to help Sasuke.
At the same time, Kakashi also became suspicious because of his change of opinion of the Konoha four elders and the incident of Uchiha Clan Downfall. He doubted whether this matter was manipulated by the Konoha four elders or not. —After all, he also spent time with his subordinate, Itachi. Although he didn’t know him much, he still did not believe that Itachi would do such a dehumanizing thing without any reason.
“I’m here to visit Sasuke. To see if he needs my help.”
Naruto relentlessly refused: “No. Sasuke doesn’t want to see anyone now. It’s enough to have me with him. Thank you for your kindness.”
After finishing talking, Naruto went directly over Kakashi, no longer looking at him.
Kakashi hesitated for a moment but ended up agree with Naruto. Since Sasuke was already accompanied by Naruto, it wasn’t a good time to bother Sasuke. In return, he had to wait until later to see if Sasuke needed to talk about it in the future.
After making a decision, Kakashi glanced around. Seeing this bustling street in the past, it has now become lifeless. Kakashi couldn’t help looking sullenly in the direction of Hokage Residence.
……….
After Naruto left Sasuke’s courtyard, he was still around. Of course, he couldn’t follow Sasuke’s wishes and just left. From the school until now, Naruto hadn’t eaten a grain of rice. —Not to mention Sasuke.
So, Naruto’s departure was not really that he wanted to go. Instead, he just wanted to look for nearby shops to see if there are any stores open, to see if he can buy something to eat. However, his idea was doomed to be impossible. After all, the time was already so late, plus with such an unsteady day today. Don’t mention the neighborhood; all shops in Konoha Village had already closed in advance.
“What’s wrong? Naruto, where do you want to go?” Li Yaoxiang probably guessed Naruto’s intention but still asked in advance.
Naruto’s voice sounded a little airy when he said: “It’s nothing. I thought Sasuke is hungry too. So I want to buy some food and bring it back to Sasuke.”
“You don’t need to look for it. Something tragic just happened today. No one is going to open the store so late. Go back. I’ll cook for you and some for Sasuke.”
“Really?! That’s great, big brother!”
With Li Yaoxiang’s promise, Naruto began to go back home.
However, on the way to returning home, Naruto, who had already calmed down, recalled the news from the village today and couldn’t help feeling curious. “Big brother, the rumor has it that Sasuke’s family was killed by his big brother himself. Is that true?”
Li Yaoxiang: “Of course it is true.”
“This… this… how is it possible?! Sasuke’s big brother, why did he do that? Isn’t it the old man who wants to do something with Sasuke’s family? So why did Sasuke’s brother… do it in the end?”
Li Yaoxiang: “Naruto, some things are not as simple as you think. Don’t you find it strange? Since the village wanted to destroy Sasuke’s clan, why would they leave Sasuke alone? You don’t think that this group of cruel fellows will suddenly overflow with sympathy, right? —If my guess is correct, this should be an exchange condition that forced Sasuke’s big brother to do it himself. That way, the village can maintain its reputation…
…Look? Isn’t everything good now? Sasuke’s clan was destroyed due to the infighting between their clan. So the village can completely separate their relationship. But the biggest gain is always them. It’s the same thing as the genocide in Land-of-Whirlpools.”
Of course, Li Yaoxiang could not tell Naruto the whole story. Naruto, who had heard the matter half-understood, couldn’t help but pause after hearing the words.
He couldn’t believe it…
‘Grandpa Hokage, who looks… so kind…’
‘What a cruel decision! For the sake of purpose, he does whatever it takes! He didn’t hesitate to let Sasuke’s big brother kill his loved ones himself! What a cruel thing is this?!’
Naruto, who thought that Grandpa Hokage would be slightly better than the other three guys, couldn’t help but shake his mind about Sarutobi Hiruzen. He recalled all kinds of stuff in his childhood, the scenes of Sarutobi Hiruzen when he visited him.
Naruto exuded an ugly and disappointing expression.
……….
After Naruto returned home, Naruto asked the big brother Li Yaoxiang to take control of his body so that the big brother could cook food for him quickly. And Li Yaoxiang, who was in control, did not disappoint Naruto.
Even in the absence of any ingredients, a plate of shrimp-fried rice with all kinds of flavors was cooked.
Naruto smelled the aroma of shrimp-fried rice afterward. He couldn’t care about the hunger he felt anymore. He immediately wrapped this shrimp-fried rice and once again hurriedly ran back to the residence of the Uchiha clan…
And at this moment, just after leaving the door of Sasuke’s house, there was such a silhouette suddenly on the silent street. Naruto was surprised.
