In fact, the best way for Aoba was to stay away from Naruto.
However, his personality determined that he could not do so!
Therefore, even if he would be targeted by Konoha's higher-ups if he came into contact with Naruto, or even if there were many dangers, he was prepared to walk down the path of darkness!
On the other hand, Obito gave him a lot of confidence.
Since he was preparing to be the 5th Hokage of Konoha, he would clear out the obstacles like Danzo sooner or later.
Initially, because Aoba had never come into contact with Danzo, he had never been in a hurry to kill this guy.
But if Danzo really dared to attack him, then don't blame him for being impolite and shaking people!
After all, anyone who has played the top order knows that, in addition to the 1V1 man battle, the best way to break the situation is to call 'Wild Dad'!
And with Obito's promise, his 'dad' was the entire Akatsuki!
Therefore, on the way to Naruto's home, Aoba thought, "I'm not ready to use my trump card so early. I hope you don't provoke me. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"
...
In Naruto's home, little Naruto was bored and counting the days.
"It has already been 43 days. Why hasn't Big Brother Aoba returned yet? Could he be in danger?"
"Ptooey! Ptooey! How is that possible! Big Brother Aoba is so powerful. There must be something that has delayed him."
"But it's really boring..."
The bored little Naruto really wanted to go out and play, but after countless times hitting walls, he finally began to believe the words that Big Brother Aoba had told him.
Everyone was disgusted with him!
Whenever he went out, he would suffer countless cold stares from the people around him. There were even several times when he took the pocket money that Big Brother Aoba gave him and went out, but no one was willing to sell things to him.
If it wasn't for Uncle Ramen, he might not even be able to eat a hot meal.
This experience made him stronger, more independent, and more mature, but at the same time, it did not make his heart twist.
Apart from his naturally optimistic and enthusiastic heart, it was also because he knew that not everyone in this world hated him and hated him.
Every time he suffered a setback, Aoba's big brother's warm smile seemed to encourage him again.
Just as he was looking forward to when Aoba's big brother would come back, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Little Naruto was immediately stunned.
Because no one had ever come to his house to look for him, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
But soon, he seemed to realize something. His face immediately revealed an extremely excited smile. He jumped off the bed and ran over with his short legs. After a lot of effort, he finally opened the door.
As the warm smile he had remembered countless times appeared, Little Naruto immediately shouted in surprise, "Big Brother Aoba!"
Then, he rushed over and hugged Aoba's leg tightly.
"You're finally back. I miss you so much!"
Aoba squatted down. He smiled and reached out to touch Naruto's head, "I'm sorry. The mission this time is a little troublesome. It took a lot of time. Are you angry with me?"
Little Naruto shook his head like a rattle-drum. His eyes sparkled like they were shining, showing the joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart. It had already explained everything.
"That's good. Let's go! Big Brother promised that I would take you to a big feast when I come back."
"En!"
Little Naruto nodded heavily. The smile on his face was extremely infectious!
Innocence, enthusiasm, sunshine... It was as if all the filth in this world could not make him compromise.
...
On the street, Naruto, who was riding on Aoba's neck, was overjoyed.
Although, in the beginning, he was a little shy and awkward, he had long been envious that other children could ride on his father's neck and play around.
It could be said that Aoba once again met Naruto's need for family affection.
However, when more and more people looked at them with disgust, Little Naruto's high spirits gradually subsided.
Because he felt that it was because of him that Big Brother Aoba also encountered this kind of unfair treatment.
"Big Brother Aoba... let's go quickly. I can't wait to eat a big meal!" Naruto forced a smile and pretended to be very hungry.
Aoba paused for a moment and then glanced at the group of people far away from them. He said calmly, "Don't mind those idiots. Remember, those who can't kill you will only make you stronger!"
"When you stand at the top of this world one day, those people are not even worthy of kneeling and licking your shoes except for looking up to you!"
"So look up! You haven't done anything wrong to them. Why are you afraid of them?"
Although Naruto was a little confused, he still chose to believe in Aoba's words.
Therefore, the two people looked at their surroundings as if nothing had happened and walked forward with their heads held high.
During this time, Aoba also asked about Naruto's recent situation. After knowing that a child like Naruto could not buy anything with money, he really wanted to kill these people!
Fortunately, he took Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen before his mission and told Naruto to find Ramen Uncle when he needed something.
Otherwise, when he was not in Konoha, wouldn't Naruto have to eat instant noodles every day and drink expired milk?
"It seems that I have to think of a way..."
It was almost impossible to destroy the rumors, break the misunderstanding, and improve Naruto's living environment from the root.
Therefore, he could only start from other aspects.
Fortunately, not everyone believed in the bullsh*t, saying that Kyuubi was the reincarnation of a fox demon. And Ichiraku's uncle was very sympathetic to Naruto.
Therefore, it was not impossible for Naruto to live a better life.
With a plan in mind, Aoba heard Naruto ask curiously, "Are we going to have some ramen?"
Aoba shook his head. Now he finally knew why Naruto loved ramen so much in the original work.
Was it just because the noodles were delicious?
This was only one of the reasons.
What really made Naruto fond was that the uncle would not dislike him and was willing to cook for him to eat.
In this case, Ichiraku Ramen is not just a kind of food for Naruto, but the care and warmth he lacks!
