Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

Suck, suck, suck—

Naruto buried his head in eating the ramen without raising his head. His shoulders kept shaking as he ate the noodles.

"Little Naruto, you have to learn to take care of yourself. It's raining now. You can't let the rain wet your clothes and hair all the time. It's easy to get sick. Especially for a little guy like you, it's very difficult to get sick. It’s cured, do you understand?”

Iris is probably a little younger than Shiyuan, but at this time, she is like an old mother, watching Naruto enjoy his meal while teaching him patiently.

"Well... I see!"

Naruto's voice was a little blurry, but he still didn't raise his head, and ramen continued to enter his mouth.

"It's good to know. If you want to eat ramen in the future, just come to Ichiraku Ramen House. Uncle Handi or my sister can treat you to it."

Acorus smiled, keeping his eyes fixed on Naruto who was devouring his food, with a warm look on his face.

"Yes, little Naruto, your uncle and I can do nothing but make ramen, so you can come to me whenever you want to eat!"

Shandai folded his hands in front of his chest, full of confidence.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly."

Iris noticed that Naruto had stopped eating noodles, thinking that he had choked on what he had just eaten, and hurriedly pushed a bowl of red bean soup from the side. This is one of the specialty soups of the ramen restaurant, and it is also a free soup that Naruto likes very much. .

"No...I...just, just..."

Naruto's shoulders continued to shake, and he raised his head to look at the calamus and hand in front of him.

"Naruto...what's wrong with you? Is it because uncle's ramen doesn't taste good?"

Shou Da looked at Naruto in a hurry, feeling at a loss for a moment.

At this moment, Naruto was seen with tears streaming down his face, his eyes red, and his expression distorted, as if there was happiness mixed with pain.

"Uncle Shouda, sister Iris, and brother Sarutobi, you are so kind!"

Naruto looked around the three of them, his tears mixed with the ramen in his mouth and swallowed into his stomach, his face was already stained.

Shi Yuan fell into silence.

He didn't expect that Naruto would react so greatly to just some small things.

There was a shadow in his eyes, and his heart became heavy.

"It's okay, it's okay, Naruto-chan, I just had some ramen, it's normal."

Acorus looked at Naruto's childish little face and also didn't know what to do, so he kept patting Naruto's shoulders with his hands in an attempt to calm Naruto's mood.

But Naruto did not calm down, and the tears on his face were like jelly beans hitting the table or the ramen bowl.

"It's obviously just a bowl of ramen, why do I want to cry?!"

"Other children have parents, but... I, I only have myself. I am alone every day. I eat cup noodles alone, play alone, and sleep alone..."

"Why, why do they all call me a monster, why don't adults allow their children to play with me, why do they hit me with stones, why don't they even sell me anything, why don't they always accept me..."

"But, I didn't do anything?!"

"I just don't want to be so lonely anymore, I want to have my own friends."

"The third generation grandfather told me that things will always get better, but I need to wait patiently. I am really patient and patient, but nothing has changed. No one wants to play with me, I am still isolated, and I am still alone. Everywhere I go I get pointed at..."

The silver beans on Naruto's face continued to fall, hitting the table with a crisp sound.

The childish voice echoed in the store, and the other three were silent.

"So...so I'm really touched that you guys are so kind to me! And of course, Sarutobi-nii, you were able to treat me to ramen when we first met."

Naruto raised his head and looked at Handai and Acorus, and finally turned his eyes to Shiyuan, who invited him to eat noodles today.

Hey!

Shiyuan put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and looked into Naruto's eyes seriously.

Naruto was slightly startled, but the tears on his face were still there.

"As a friend, can I be your friend?"

Other nonsense Shi Yuan knew that it was useless to say it at this time. Naruto at this time was really lonely!

"Eh?"

Naruto's eyes widened again, and his red eyes stared at Shiyuan.

The twitching body also stopped at this moment, and the crying Naruto was 'interrupted by casting' at the question of Shiyuan.

"I asked, can Sarutobi Tokiyuan be Uzumaki Naruto's friend, someone we can have dinner with."

Shi Yuan asked seriously again, with a smile on his face.

"is it okay?"

Naruto still chose to ask again.

This sentence was what he said most today.

'Can I?' is an attitude of uncertainty and unconfidence. This is also Naruto's inner reality at this stage.

He longs for friends, but when someone really wants to be his friend, he is a little afraid. It may be a feeling of worry about gain and loss.

"Of course!"

Shiyuan answered in the affirmative and put the uneaten fish fillet into Naruto's bowl.

At this moment, he made up his mind.

No matter what the attitude of Sandai or anyone else is, he will try his best to protect the childhood of the child in front of him and never let him become so miserable.

Drama needs?

Sorry, Shiyuan doesn't care.

"Brother Shiyuan, then we will be friends from now on?"

Naruto's title changed, he raised his head, his blue eyes were as pure as the clear sky.

Shiyuan nodded: "Yes, we will be friends from now on, and Naruto, you won't be too lonely."

"Naruto and I are friends too!"

Acorus also reacted to what Naruto said before, and approached Naruto with red eyes and said.

Naruto was only a three-year-old child, but he had endured so many things. She felt horrified just thinking about it.

The most incomprehensible thing is that despite being shrouded in misery, Naruto always greets everything with a happy look.

Acorus thought that the young Naruto could not understand everything that happened to her, so he could still maintain a positive attitude after suffering so much rejection and isolation every day. However, Naruto's sudden outburst just now let her know that Naruto has not always been I don’t understand, I just don’t want to show it.

Iris didn't know what attitude to take towards Naruto who was obviously very young.

Pity or admiration?

Eyes softened, Iris and Naruto looked at each other.

"Yeah! We've always been friends!"

Naruto nodded heavily.

"I, Naruto Uzumaki, finally have a friend!"

He raised his hand and shouted with excitement.

"Ah."

Shiyuan and Acorus looked at each other and nodded.

Suck, suck, suck--

Naruto continued to eat noodles, and the tears on his face could not conceal the happiness in his heart.

From time to time, he would look up at Shi Yuan beside him, as if he was afraid that Shi Yuan would disappear.

After all, Shi Yuan was the only person besides Chang Pu and his son who said they wanted to be friends with him.

Today was one of the happiest days Uzumaki Naruto had had in a long time.

Shiyuan also started to eat the slightly cold ramen in the bowl.

The darkness of the village.

It shouldn't happen to a child.

"I'm done eating!"

Within a few minutes, all the enlarged bowl of ramen had entered Naruto's stomach.

He raised the bowl high, drank all the soup in it, and finally said to his opponent with a satisfied look on his face.

Shiyuan had also finished eating. Seeing Naruto's appearance, he asked, "Do you need anything else to eat?"

"Well...I'm already super full!"

Naruto rubbed his swollen belly in distress.

"OK then."

Shiyuan took out a piece of paper and handed it to Naruto, and then continued, "We are already friends, so next time you encounter any difficulties, you can come to me or tell Uncle Hand to pass it on to me."

"Uh-huh!"

Naruto nodded happily.

Acorus and Tetra also looked at Naruto and Shiyuan with smiles, and they were also happy for Naruto in their hearts.

"Little Naruto, if you have any difficulties in life, you can come to us at any time!"

Iris will say to Naruto.

Outside, the rain stopped, and the smell of earth continued to spread into the air.

"Want to leave? We can go back together."

Shiyuan left the meal money and said to Naruto who was following him.

"Ok!"

Naruto quickened his pace and came to Shiyuan's right side, raising his head high and looking at Shiyuan.

Naruto is obviously only three years old, should he be said to have matured prematurely or been forced by life?

"Let's go then."

Shiyuan touched Naruto's head and walked out.

"Uncle Hand Beat, Sister Calamus, let's go!"

Before Naruto left, he turned back to say hello, with a little joy in his tone.

And this first step made him feel that his life seemed to have changed, and the patience mentioned by his third-generation grandfather had paid off.

In this way, Shiyuan seemed to be walking with a younger brother in the direction of Naruto's house in his memory.

On the street after the rain, pedestrians appeared sparsely, and the prosperity of Konoha briefly appeared at this moment.

The appearance of the crowd caused Naruto's expression to change slightly.

Sure enough, when pedestrians noticed Shi Yuan beside him, the air seemed to condense for a second.

fear?stunned?With bad intentions?

Various different emotions are hidden in his eyes and captured by Shi Yuan.

And their whispers seemed to be talking in front of Shi Yuan, all reaching his ears.

"Look! It's that kid!"

"The incarnation of that demon fox?!"

"Stay away from him, otherwise he will be tainted with an ominous aura!"

"Hokage-sama, why haven't you driven that brat out of the village? I feel scared every time I see him."

"Shh!"

"Who's that ninja next to him?"

"Who knows? Anyone who walks with that brat will have no luck!"

"That guy looked over! What a disgusting look. Does he think he is innocent?"

"..."

"Brother Shiyuan!"

Naruto tugged on Shiyuan's clothes.

Although he couldn't hear what the people around him were saying, he could see the hatred in their eyes towards him.

That deep malice enveloped him like air.

Nothing has changed as usual.

Hearing Naruto's voice, coupled with the eyes and words of those around him, Shiyuan was able to understand Naruto's predicament.

He looked down at Naruto.

[Reading books to get red envelopes] Follow the official account [Book Friends Base Camp], read books and draw up to 888 cash red envelopes!

At this time, Naruto's eyes were slightly red and his expression was lonely.

Well, Shiyuan doesn't know why Naruto at such a young age makes people feel lonely, but in fact it is indeed the case. Naruto's expression is very lonely.

"I'm here, don't be afraid!"

Shiyuan grabbed Naruto's hand and wrapped it gently like a relative.

Giving Naruto a smile, he turned his attention to the crowd around him.

The cold eyes swept over and over again, and the speaking voice gradually weakened until it disappeared.

In the final analysis, most of those who retaliate against Naruto are deceived by certain people. Even if Shiyuan uses his fists to make them surrender, they will eventually continue to believe the widely circulated lies.

Some are sad and some are pathetic.

The night of the Kyuubi Rebellion.

The village suffered too many losses and many people were killed, so when someone or something appears that can release anger, ignorant people will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

To change this situation, we need many facts and actions to prove it.

Just like what Naruto did in the plot, he not only gained recognition from others.

"I'm not afraid, it's just that I never understood why. I obviously didn't do anything. I just wanted to make friends and be like other kids."

Naruto smiled. He had enjoyed this scene of being surrounded and isolated so many times.

I wasn't afraid before, so how could I be afraid now?

Besides, this time he was not alone.

"Time will tell. We can be kind, but we cannot be kind to everyone."

Shiyuan squeezed Naruto's hand and said softly.

Naruto's body contains Asura's chakra, which will affect Naruto's character growth.

This is also the most convincing explanation of Naruto's character that Shiyuan has seen in his previous life.

Tokiyuan didn't know if this was right, but he wanted Naruto to be the kind of person who loves and hates, instead of always being a 'lover' like in the original work.

Pulling Naruto along, the two of them walked through the streets easily, leaving under the gaze of some strange eyes hidden in the dark.

"Brother Shiyuan, this is my home, what about you?"

Soon, the two of them arrived at Naruto's house, so Naruto stopped and said to Shiyuan.

He seemed in no hurry to get home.

"Me, it's not far away. At the end of this street, turn right. There is a place that combines an izakaya and a restaurant in one. I live there."

"Oh."

Naruto answered with his head lowered.

"Want to come over and have a look? Come and sit at my house."

Shiyuan saw that Naruto was a little reluctant, so he asked.

There will be a mission starting tomorrow, and he will probably not be able to communicate with Naruto for a long time, so he doesn't mind spending more time together today.

Pity or pity, Shiyuan hopes to change Naruto's situation.

"is it okay?"

"Why not?"

"Okay, I'm going to take a look."

Naruto raised his head, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Let's go then."

Shiyuan patted Naruto on the shoulder and continued walking forward.

Soon, Naruto followed Shiyuan to Shiyuan's home.

This was the first time Naruto entered someone else's home, so he was curious about everything.

Shiyuan didn't know what he could do by taking Naruto home. Maybe let Naruto experience the fun of having friends?

Anyway, anything works, at least Naruto has a smile on his face.

Signing for Naruto to sit aside, Shiyuan walked to the window and took some snacks.

His eyes glanced outside the window inadvertently.

No matter where the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki goes, he cannot be alone.

Although Naruto himself didn't know it, Shiyuan was able to detect the ninjas hiding in the dark.

And precisely because of his act of bringing Naruto home, those ninjas gathered around his home.

If Shiyuan's identity wasn't very innocent and special, they might have taken action to capture the guy who dared to get close to the Jinchuuriki.

With a smile on his face, Shi Yuan returned to the sofa and put the snacks on the table.

Naruto had gone from being reserved at the beginning to becoming more casual.

Although he had only known Shiyuan for a day, he seemed to be able to sense Shiyuan's kindness towards him, so he moved around the sofa somewhat actively, observing everything in Shiyuan's home.

Soon, his eyes noticed an exquisite little nest in the corner.

"Hey, Brother Shiyuan, is this your dog?"

Naruto looked excitedly at Kimaru, who was sleeping soundly in his den, and quickly walked over and squatted down.

For Naruto, he is sometimes closer to animals than people, because people don't like him, but animals have no such concerns.

As long as he takes the animals seriously, the animals will take him seriously.

Kimaru opened his eyes sleepily, and immediately saw Naruto's little face coming closer.

"Ow!"

It howled lazily and then turned its head in another direction.

When Shi Yuan came back, it noticed that there was a kid following him, but it was in a bad mood because of the rain, so it was too lazy to move.

But it didn't expect that little devil to actually come to him, so it had to deal with it by howling perfunctorily.

But Naruto was not dissuaded by Kimaru's perfunctory attitude, and instead seemed even happier.

"Brother Shi Yuan, what kind of dog is yours? It looks so strong."

He was not afraid of Kimaru, who was barely shorter than him standing up, biting him. Instead, he tentatively touched his hand close to Kimaru's air while looking back at Shiyuan, who was arranging things on the sofa.

"Oh, that's not a dog. Although wolves and dogs are essentially the same thing, Kimaru is a wolf."

"Is your name Kimaru? It's a nice name."

Naruto's hand was still stroking the air, but it still didn't land on Kimaru's body.

Kimaru, on the other hand, curled up into a ball and stared at him with narrowed eyes.

No rejection and no pandering.

"Ximaru is very well-behaved. You can touch him as you like. He won't bite."

Shiyuan noticed Naruto's movements, so he said to him.

"Kimaru! Kimaru! Get up and pick up the guests!"

Naruto still didn't have the guts to do anything, so he tentatively touched Kimaru's body with his hands in the air.

So Shiyuan called out to Kimaru, who stood up in a very humane manner.

"So docile!"

Naruto touched Kimaru's fur as he wished, with a happy expression on his face.

"Ow!"

Ximaru howled, and then continued to collapse back into his nest, flicking his tail and looking extremely decadent.

Shi Yuan shook his head in amusement. Kimaru looked more and more like some kind of animal in his past life memory.

A guy who trades his IQ for looks, his name is Ha.

"Come over and have something to eat."

Shiyuan didn't think it would be abrupt to suddenly be nice to Naruto.

As long as you feel that you are not ashamed, it doesn't matter what you do.

"Kimaru, come here too!"

Seeing that Naruto seemed unable to move while touching Kimaru, Shiyuan had no choice but to speak to Kimaru again.

"Ow!"

Kimaru stood up reluctantly, then pushed Naruto away from the squatting position with a 'brutal charge', and then jumped up and landed on the sofa.

Skillfully biting the snack in Shiyuan's hand, Kimaru swallowed it and lay down lazily on the sofa.

Naruto also came over and sat opposite Shiyuan.

"I also wanted to raise a puppy before, but my third-generation grandfather said that I couldn't even take care of myself, so he didn't want me to raise one."

He looked at Ximaru for a while and then at Shiyuan, with some regret in his voice.

"Keeping pets takes a lot of time and energy. It would be best if you don't keep one, Naruto."

Shiyuan kneaded Kimaru's neck flesh.

"Brother Shiyuan, do you think so too? But I think if I raise a dog or something else, I might not be so lonely."

Naruto said in a low voice.

Shi Yuan was stunned. Naruto's words always made him feel uncomfortable. How could this be what a child should bear?

"Kimaru is here. If you feel bored, you can take Kimaru out to play in the future. At least you won't seem so lonely, right?"

Shiyuan pushed Kimaru beside him.

The latter didn't understand Naruto's situation, but he could feel the low pressure on him, so he half-pushed and half-jumped to Naruto's side, growling lowly.

"But now that I have new friends, things are much better!"

Naruto raised his head and looked at Shiyuan, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth turned up subconsciously.

"Ah."

Shi Yuan nodded.

Naruto played at Tokiyuan's house for a long time.

Because he had to go on a mission tomorrow, and he stopped all the work he was doing, he naturally had time to chat with Naruto.

Perhaps it was a long time since anyone had chatted with him patiently like this, and Naruto looked very interested.

He told Shiyuan many things, including how he played tricks on Sandai, how he spent his day, and what he ate every day...

Shiyuan, as an audience, listened carefully to Naruto telling him everything from the beginning of his memory.

Of course, he also had some thoughts on the future.

For example, he said he wanted to become a ninja so that he could have money to eat ramen every day; for example, he said he wanted to find his parents and ask them why they didn't want him; for example, he wanted to find the answer to why he was smoked by others, so that he could change himself and become a ninja. A popular person…

Naruto said a lot, and Shiyuan also remembered everything.

Unlike the Naruto in his memory, the Naruto sitting on the sofa opposite him at this moment was a living existence.

No longer a pale thing like an image, but a real person like Shiyuan himself!

Shiyuan stood at the door and looked at Naruto's back. The small figure was full of joy just because there was one more person who was kind to him.

This is hard to imagine.

"Sarutobi Jonin."

A masked ninja appeared next to Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan did not move and looked at him from the corner of his eye.

"Is something wrong?"

"That child is a very important thing in the village, so..."

"It has nothing to do with me, and...he is a person, not an object, nor a weapon."

Shiyuan interrupted the words of the ninja in front of him in a calm tone.

"Not letting others get close to him...is an order given by the Third Hokage."

The ANBU continued.

He seemed to be aware of Shiyuan's position in front of the third generation, so his tone was quite good.

"I will tell the third generation myself."

Shi Yuan retreated into the house and closed the door, and did not continue to entangle with the other party.
