Chapter 119: First Time Meeting Naruto
Chapter 119: First Time Meeting Naruto
After cleaning up a few pieces of trash, Aoba walked out of the small alley.
Although the result of the interrogation was not satisfactory, he was now sure that someone indeed sent out this 'rumor'. As for who this person was, Aoba did not ask.
After all, these people were just some street scoundrels. Some people offered them some money to make them spread the rumor. How could they let go of such a great opportunity to earn extra money?
Therefore, these small fries basically did not know anything. It would be a waste of time to interrogate them.
As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, he would definitely sweep away all the small tails and leave no evidence behind.
Aoba was not Conan and was not interested in solving the case, but he had already remembered this matter in his heart and would definitely repay it in the future!
There was also Sarutobi Hiruzen...
In his previous life, Aoba had seen many kinds of rumors. Some people said that Sarutobi did not keep Naruto around because he wanted to protect Naruto. After all, Minato had many enemies. If Naruto's identity as the son of the Hokage were exposed, it would be very dangerous for Naruto.
The rumor that Naruto was the reincarnation of a fox demon was actually an accident and it was accidentally spread... Otherwise, Naruto would definitely grow up healthily and happily like an ordinary child.
At first glance, it might sound reasonable.
But, in reality?
Could it be that the dignified Hokage could not protect a child in his own base?
Which enemy of Minato could be so powerful as to be able to kill in Konoha to take revenge on Minato's child? (An existence no one knows)
Were so many ninjas just for show?
What was even more outrageous was that….
The identity of the son of the Hokage was concealed so well, but the news that Naruto was the reincarnation of a fox demon was suddenly spread out.
Only a few people knew that Naruto was Kyuubi Jinchuriki. It was top-secret information. Sarutobi also warned Aoba not to leak it out.
In that case, wouldn't the remaining people only be the higher-ups of the Hokage?
Moreover, among them, Danzo was the most suspicious, but Aoba did not have any evidence.
There were also people who said that this was simply a 'hole' left behind by Kishimoto. That's why it was inconsistent with Sarutobi's character.
This reason was very convincing in the previous life.
However, this was the current world. There must be a reason for all the results, so this reason couldn't be justified.
It couldn't be that Sarutobi heard a call from the darkness and told him not to care about Naruto, right?
To be honest, if not for Naruto's unique character, it would be strange if someone else grew up in this kind of environment and wouldn't be the first to destroy Konoha!
The son of Yondaime and Kyuubi's Jinchuriki, with two identities stacked together, it was reasonable to say that no matter how they should protect Naruto at all costs.
But in the end, Sarutobi chose the most incomprehensible method in Aoba's eyes. It made the young Naruto struggle to survive and experience the most miserable childhood.
In any case, at least Aoba could not figure it out, and he was not clear about the inside story. He also did not want to know.
......
When Aoba finally found this residential area, according to the words of 'witnesses', he began to wander around, but it was a purposeful stroll. At the same time, he used[Eye Of Perception].
Because Aoba believed that even if Naruto were forced to start an independent life from this time, there would inevitably be people secretly monitoring or protecting him.
Otherwise, if something really happened to Naruto, no one would be able to bear this responsibility.
And what Aoba was looking for were these guys hiding in the dark...
Finally,
His painstaking efforts were not in vain.
[Eye Of Perception] discovered that there was a person hiding in a tree, and his life fluctuations were very strong. It definitely was not a wild cat or something.
Aoba continued to walk forward without batting an eye and then circled around.
In the end, he discovered that there was not just one person hiding in the dark, but three!
Using the location where the three people were hiding to speculate, he soon discovered the 'protected' residence.
Just as Aoba was thinking about what excuse he should use to get close to Naruto, he suddenly noticed a little fellow struggling to open the door and walk out. Then, he ran out with his short legs.
This eye-catching head of golden hair, blue eyes, and six whisker-like marks on cheeks….
If not for the one-year-old Naruto, who else could it be?
At this moment, after seeing Naruto, Aoba's mood immediately began to fluctuate.
To be honest, when he had read the original story, although Naruto was the main character, he was definitely not Aoba's favorite character.
But in this life, after he merged into this world, perhaps because of Minato and his wife, it made him feel very close to Naruto at this moment!
However, he did not choose to meet Naruto directly. Instead, he avoided Anbu's members who were secretly following him and followed Naruto from afar.
Even if he really wanted to get close to Naruto, he needed a perfect opportunity. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome.
And this opportunity soon came...
In an open space where children often gathered and played together, Little Naruto had a bright smile on his face. He wanted to play with these new friends he had just met yesterday.
After changing into a new environment, little Naruto, trying to live alone, showed amazing toughness.
Naruto, who was only a year old, was not only able to run and jump but also had a strong ability to accept new things. Moreover, he also received money and knew that he could buy food with money. The milk was very delicious, and the instant noodles were also very delicious... However, his money was too little… He knew he couldn't use it all to buy food.
However, Naruto was very optimistic, as if he was not worried at all. Even if he was hungry, he could endure it.
Even yesterday, a kind uncle gave him a few sticks of Three-color Dango. It was very sweet, very sweet ---
Although Naruto still didn't know the meaning of happiness, he was already extremely satisfied with some food and some people playing with him.
However, as the child of destiny in this world, he must accept the hardships that ordinary people could not bear.
And from this moment on!
"What are you guys playing? Bring me along!"
Although Little Naruto was very thin, he was full of vitality, and his eyes were full of desire.
"Okay..."
The other children were about to agree, but at this time, the women who were chatting at the side immediately changed their expressions and ran over.
They looked at Little Naruto with disgust while pulling their children away.
"Don't play with him in the future, do you hear me? You can't even talk!"
"Wow!"
That child knew nothing. After being reprimanded for a few words, he began to cry loudly, feeling especially wronged.
The other children were the same. Under the "warning" of their parents, they immediately obediently left little Naruto.
Little Naruto was isolated, and the other children were all brought home by their parents.
However, Little Naruto did not seem to know that it was all because of him. He smiled foolishly and stood there. He waved his hand and shouted with anticipation, "Let's play together tomorrow!"
What answered him was naturally the disgust and fear in the eyes of several parents.
