Chereads / Rebirth: I Become Naruto / Chapter 5 - Companions

Chapter 5 - Companions

It seems like this time I'll be going to the ninja school as soon as I come out... What kind of place is that? Naruto strolled through the streets, his thoughts wandering. He didn't feel like dwelling on those annoying questions anymore.

Because of his presence, the crowd on the street still parted to let him through. Naruto walked forward alone, feeling somewhat empty, until he encountered the young man named Sasuke walking straight towards him without any intention of avoiding him.

Seeing the determined look on the young man named Sasuke as he walked towards him, Naruto suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. Perhaps it was because he had been so loathed, encountering such an attitude was somewhat surprising... maybe? Feeling the absurdity of his own thoughts, Naruto's lips curved into a faint smile.

Perhaps it was because the eyes of this young man were so calm, that Naruto couldn't find a hint of dislike.

No, it should be that he didn't find any emotion at all.

But maybe it was because of the sunlight... Naruto felt like he saw a ripple in the black eyes of the young man he called the "black-faced god", as if showing a hint of pleasure.

Naruto tilted his head slightly, but continued to walk straight towards the young man, without avoiding him at all.

As the two finally passed each other, Sasuke's eyes swept over Naruto with a complex expression, then he coldly walked away. Naruto also glanced at the young man out of the corner of his eye, and continued walking forward at his original speed.

Anyway, this young man named Sasuke Uchiha would not have any intersection with him. Thinking like this, Naruto smiled pleasantly.

Since they were in different worlds, the only intersection they would have was in such a situation, brushing past each other like passersby. This was the best.

Sasuke looked at the blond teenager who passed by the balcony earlier, feeling a faint warmth in his heart. Perhaps being revered for so long, if treated with such equality, it really calmed his heart. He suddenly remembered a saying, excellence can really make people arrogant. But the eyes of this boy were nothing like that. Sasuke found it somewhat interesting; he had never seen a teenager look at him in such a way, or with such eyes.

Clearly just like this, the feeling of being just right strangers... this kind of feeling.

Not only because of the Uchiha family's reputation, or his own title of genius, he had seen all sorts of human faces. Whether it was his father's insatiable greed, or the cunning intentions of the corrupt elders, or various suspicions, various attempts to form relationships, he was tired of it all.

Sasuke squinted his black eyes, suddenly feeling that this boy might not be bad... that kind of feeling.

Naruto tilted his lips, squinting at the sunlight. The warm sunlight, and the sky that made people feel sleepy...

He suddenly felt deeply pleased.

Ah, if he could just live lazily like this forever...

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Was he really just a guy bound by responsibilities?

Just like those... unshakable bonds.

Walking past the empty space where children were playing, Naruto saw the boy lying alone on the side.

The boy with a lazy expression tied his long hair into a high ponytail, lying leisurely on one side, looking interestedly at the clouds.

Seeing this scene, Naruto sighed lightly again.

So leisurely... it's really nice...

Just as he was thinking, the children suddenly ran to the boy's side.

Seeing a large group of children sticking to the boy, who seemed extremely impatient, Naruto couldn't help but walk over out of curiosity.

"Hey, Shikamaru, why don't you join us and be on our team..."

"No, Shikamaru should be in our team."

"Shikamaru gets along better with us, he won't be in your team!"

...

In the center of the dispute, the boy Shikamaru lazily glanced at everyone, showing a helpless expression. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, revealing a hint of impatience. Stepping back slightly, he sighed softly.

Watching the boy's reaction, Naruto couldn't help but smile. It was really interesting, the boy's response. Surprisingly, he was afraid of trouble... he really resembled his carefree self.

The gaze of the crowd gradually focused on Naruto.

The expressions on their faces suddenly became fearful, mocking, disdainful... various emotions and colors changed on their faces, making it quite an interesting pastime. Thinking like this, Naruto smirked slightly, looking somewhat sinister.

In the end, the crowd glanced at Naruto and hurriedly fled, looking somewhat embarrassed, and didn't even bother with Shikamaru, who was the center of attention just now.

Shikamaru lazily glanced at Naruto with his narrow eyes, and Naruto, still walking at his original speed, glanced at the boy out of the corner of his eye.

So leisurely... it's really nice...

Just as he was thinking, the children suddenly ran to the boy's side.

Seeing a large group of children sticking to the boy, who seemed extremely impatient, Naruto couldn't help but walk over out of curiosity.

"Hey, Shikamaru, why don't you join us and be on our team..."

"No, Shikamaru should be in our team."

"Shikamaru gets along better with us, he won't be in your team!"

...

In the center of the dispute, the boy Shikamaru lazily glanced at everyone, showing a helpless expression. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, revealing a hint of impatience. Stepping back slightly, he sighed softly.

Watching the boy's reaction, Naruto couldn't help but smile. It was really interesting, the boy's response. Surprisingly, he was afraid of trouble... he really resembled his carefree self.

The gaze of the crowd gradually focused on Naruto.

The expressions on their faces suddenly became fearful, mocking, disdainful... various emotions and colors changed on their faces, making it quite an interesting pastime. Thinking like this, Naruto smirked slightly, looking somewhat sinister.

In the end, the crowd glanced at Naruto and hurriedly fled, looking somewhat embarrassed, and didn't even bother with Shikamaru, who was the center of attention just now.

Shikamaru lazily glanced at Naruto with his narrow eyes, and Naruto, still walking at his original speed, glanced at the boy out of the corner of his eye.

Shikamaru's long, narrow eyes lazily glanced at Naruto, and Naruto, still walking at his original speed, glanced at the boy out of the corner of his eye.

Whether it was because of the Uchiha family's reputation or his own genius title, he had seen all kinds of human faces. Whether it was his father's insatiable greed, or the scheming intentions of the corrupt elders, or various suspicions, various attempts to form relationships, he was tired of it all.

Shikamaru narrowed his black eyes and suddenly felt that this boy might not be bad... that kind of feeling.

Naruto tilted his lips, squinting at the sunlight. The warm sunlight, and the sky that made people feel sleepy...

He suddenly felt deeply pleased.

Ah, if he could just live lazily like this forever...

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Was he really just a guy bound by responsibilities?

Just like those... unshakable bonds.

Walking past the empty space where children were playing, Naruto saw the boy lying alone on the side.

The boy with a lazy expression tied his long hair into a high ponytail, lying leisurely on one side, looking interestedly at the clouds.

Seeing this scene, Naruto sighed lightly again.
