After my 3rd Birthday
Uzumaki Naruto who completed studying as required by Grandpa Hokage finally got permission to go outside.
"I've had enough being lonely" he thought eagerly running outside too find a friend so that they could play together.
On the street, whether it is pedestrians or shops, everything looks so unique in Naruto's eyes.
"That's the fox brat right"
"The evil fox right"
"How could the 3rd Hokage let it live in the village sooner or later won't we all be killed by it"
However, as Naruto passed by, there were people whispering behind him, as well as various hate filled eyes that stared at him.
Although he was still young, he could clearly feel the massive amount of malice in the eyes of the adults around him.Moreover this is not just a few almost everyone around him was hostile towards him.He went to find the people who would often show up near his home to play, but they refused without hesitation. Their parents had said not to interact with Naruto.
Occasionally there are ignorant children who do not know this, and they will soon be taken away by their parents who tell them not to interact with Naruto.After being told something by their parents all the children look at Naruto with hatred.
Even if he wanted to buy some daily necessities with the money given by Grandpa Hokage, he would be rejected, and then he would be thrown out of the shop.
Naruto couldn't comprehend why they all hated him so much.
Obviously, he did nothing wrong.
Maybe there was a misunderstanding.
Since there is a misunderstanding, he just needs to resolve it.
.On the street, facing the hostile and disgusting gaze from those adults, Naruto spoke, and screamed with all his strength to refute loudly: "I am not a demon fox, I am Uzumaki Naruto! I don't know how to eat people!"
Naruto thought that as long as he explained it carefully, he could improve the situation.
only...
This is just in vain.
Days passed, nothing changed the villagers still looked at him with intense anger and hatred, and it became more and more intense as time passed.
On a new day, after eating instant noodles, Naruto came to the street again, and again he wanted to explain to people that he was just Uzumaki Naruto and that he wasn't the demon fox.
But, he doesn't know from where, eggs and flew over and smashed at him.
In the face of this attack, Naruto couldn't avoid it, and was submerged in a flash, and his whole body was covered in yolk.
Among the crowd, he didn't know who threw the stone that slammed on his head, causing a sharp pain in his head and a big bulging bump on his forehead.
"Kill this Nine Tails kid."
" Revenge for Lord Fourth."
"How can the evil fox be allowed to live in Konoha."
Someone yelled with red eyes, and rushed towards Naruto with a weapon, ready to kill him
Naruto looked at the angry and distorted faces that were approaching him. While fearfulness appeared in his eyes, tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, and he shouted: "I'm really not a demon fox, I am Uzumaki Naruto!"
However, no one listened to Naruto.
.A long stick struck the ground with a cracking sound.
Naruto was so scared that he closed his eyes
However, the expected pain did not come. Two masked ninjas stood in front of Naruto, one of them blocked the surging crowd, and the other hugged Naruto.
"I'll take Naruto back first, you stop them."
Time is approaching evening
.Konohagakure Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the door of Naruto's house.
When he walked into the living room, he saw Naruto sitting at the dining table in a daze. His expression was sad, and he was obviously thinking about what happened during the day.
At this moment, Naruto has taken a shower and changed clothes, but the big bump on his forehead that had not gone down yet clearly showed that what happened today is not an illusion.
"Naruto."When he heard the voice, Naruto raised his head, and he saw the person coming, his eyes lit up. It was Grandpa Hokage!
Since Naruto could remember, Grandpa Hokage had come to visit him once a month to talk to him and bring him next month's living expenses. He always had a kind smile on his face. In Naruto's eyes, he was a good person.
Naruto had no family, and he regards his Grandpa Hokage as the closet thing to it.
Seeing him, Naruto couldn't help but ask saddened: "Grandpa, am I really a Nine Tailed Demon fox?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said gently: "Naruto, you are not a demon fox. I have ordered that everyone is no longer allowed to say such lies. What happened today will never happen again. You can go outside without fear."
Naruto somewhat believed him, although Grandpa gave him an answer, he doubted the authenticity of his Grandpa's words.
If he really isn't demon fox?
Then why do the villagers hate him so much?
"Naruto, don't think too much about this, you are you, not a demon fox, eat something, sleep well, wake up tomorrow morning and everything will be fine, soon you will be old enough, and then you can go to the academy and learn to be ninja.By then you will meet a lots of kids who will want to be your friend, but no one will want to play with you when you are so sad." Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the hesitation in Naruto's eyes and comforted.
"Okay, I'm going to eat." Naruto suddenly became happy, opened the cabinet, took out the instant noodles and water, and started boiling water.
He has been here for a long time. Although he is still young, he had already learned to take care of himself.
Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and took out the pipe to light it, then turned and left.
After Naruto ate the meal, he laid down with the blanket on, and then fell asleep in a daze after a while.
Then, Naruto found himself inside of an empty space.
Currently, he was sitting on the ground.In front of him, a book was placed.
There were colorful illustrations on the cover of this book.
In the cover illustration, some square fonts were written, and when the page was opened, there are more dense fonts than the cover.
This is a Chinese character.
These words were very similar to some of the words he had studied, but they were not exactly the same.
Naruto, who had just learned to read, was confused and didn't understand the meaning of these words.
The book seemed to feel the embarrassment of Naruto, and the font on it began to change.After a while, these square fonts were completely replaced with the language of his world that he could understand.
Finally, Naruto finally understood the meaning of the words written in this book.
