The man turned his head and looked around, but the crowd around him was only looking at the bread on the ground, oblivious to the situation.
He turned his face blue with anger, turned his head, glared fiercely at Naruto, and said to him
" You two are in cahoots, and there's no way you can fool me. "
He raised the rolling pin and aimed it at Naruto, hitting him with it.
Naruto smiled, but the rolling pin was nothing to him. He closed his eyes and said the mantra of opening his eyes, instantly opening his eyes with his Sharingan.
The hand reached out and aimed at the stick in the man's hand, and swung it over.
"The rolling pin was cut in half by Naruto's hand with a bang.
The man froze and looked at the rolling pin and Naruto's eyes.
" You~~~ are~~~ a monster. "
After saying that, he turned his head and ran out without looking at the food on the ground.
Obviously, Naruto was frightened by the double jade Sharingan in Naruto's eyes, and Naruto, who has Sharingan turned on, is radiating a momentum all the time, and ordinary people will only feel suffocated by these eyes.
Seeing the man running away, the child suddenly came to his senses.
He jumped forward and held the bread in his arms without stopping to dry it.
He turned his head to Naruto, bowed his head, and said in a low voice
" Thanks. "
After saying this, he tried to run forward.
Naruto, who was trying to run forward, pulled the child by the shoulders and said, "The child can't run at all.
The child, who could not run at all, looked at Naruto with wide eyes, very frightened, and with his mouth trembling and shaking, said
" You ~~ What are you doing? "
Naruto smiled and chuckled.
" Kid, I have something to talk to you about. "
The child blinked his eyes and didn't say anything, but Naruto reached out his hands and grabbed him.
The child, in his panic, began to shout, but unfortunately the people around him didn't care and were only concerned with their own business, not having enough to eat and not daring to meddle in such matters.
Naruto resisted the child, jumped onto the roof, and ran towards the woods.
The bread fell from the child's hand, and as it fell to the ground, it caused some people to scramble for it.
After jumping several steps, Naruto noticed the child on his shoulder was still, trembling slightly, and seemed to be crying from fear.
There were very few ninjas in their country, and even the ninjas were Gatō's men.
Naruto, who had strayed into the woods, gently put the child down.
He placed it on the branch of a large tree and stared at it with a deadly stare.
Naruto suddenly realized that it was a little girl, but the face was so dirty that he thought it was a boy.
The short hair was so short that it was hard to tell the difference between a boy and a girl, but if you didn't look at it closely, it would have been a pretty little boy.
Naruto's head swelled up as he didn't expect it to be a girl, and it was definitely better to raise a boy than a girl.
The little girl looked at Naruto with her eyes wide open, her big eyes blinking, looking very surprised and panicked, as if at a loss for words.
In the spirit of making the best of a mistake, Naruto coughed and asked
" What is your name and do you have parents? "
The little girl said sulkily
" Nanami, father and mother are not here, big brother, please let me go, I don't taste good, I don't taste good at all. "
Naruto was flabbergasted, not understanding what the girl was saying at all, and couldn't help but ask
" What doesn't taste good? "
The little girl curled up and looked as if she was about to cry.
" Aren't you going to eat me, I've heard it said that demons like to eat children. "
Naruto couldn't help but laugh, and while laughing, he touched the little girl's head and said with a forced smile.
" Don't worry, I don't eat people, and I'm not a monster. "
Nanami blinked her big eyes, and with a few tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, said
" Really, don't lie to me? "
Naruto smiled a little and said
" Of course, and it's only good for you that I called you. "
Nanami looked puzzled and asked
" What's the benefit? "
Naruto contemplated, organized his sentences, straightened his expression, and became very serious, saying
" You should know that if I hadn't saved you just now, you could have been killed. "
Nanami was shocked, thought about what had happened, shuddered, nodded and whispered.
" Well, thank you for saving me, big brother. "
Naruto, still with the same serious expression, shook his head and said
" No, I saved you because I wanted you to repay me, not to hear you say thank you. "
Nanami was flabbergasted and stupidly said
" I don't have anything in return, do you want those loaves of bread, but by now they should all be taken away by the others. "
Naruto was amused, not expecting the little girl to be so funny, shook his head, put on a serious expression and said
" I don't want things, just your people. "
After saying that, Naruto felt that something wasn't right, but there was no other way to say it.
Nanami blinked her eyes and said in aggravation
" You just said you won't eat my, and now you're backtracking. "
Naruto had a headache and couldn't help but touch his head with a serious expression.
" I'm wrong, how about this, I ask you, do you know why you are being chased and beaten by that old man? "
Nanami flinched for a second, lowered her head, and said, somewhat uncomfortably
" I know, because I stole, and my mom said that people who steal are bad people. So I was the bad boy. "
Naruto said seriously.
" No, it's because you're weaker than that uncle, because you're so weak that he can beat you. "
Nanami looked up at Naruto with a puzzled expression.
Naruto cleared his throat and continued
"You're weaker than the others, that's why you don't have food, you steal, you get beaten, you get beaten and scolded, and no one cares about you, all because you're weaker than the others. All because you are weaker than other people. "
Nanami nodded and said, "I don't know what you're talking about.
" I understood that because I was weaker than a man I had nothing to eat. "
Naruto laughed. The kid was really smart, and he could understand what he was saying in just a few sentences. It was a pity that it was not enough to make her understand the seriousness of the problem.
After thinking about it, Naruto changed his expression, looked at the girl with a warm and smiling face, and said to her, "I'm sorry, but this is not enough to make her understand the seriousness of the problem.
" I can make you strong now, I can keep you from being beaten and bullied, do you want that? "
Nanami's eyes lit up and she looked a little excited.
" think, think, "
Naruto smiled and chuckled.
" Well, surprisingly, you want to get stronger, so promise me one thing. "
Nanami asked, puzzled.
" What is it? "
Naruto said with a very serious look.
" Everything to me. "
