Naruto: Fox and Cat

The next morning, at seven o'clock, the small cake shop opened on time.The two hired aunts arrived on time and helped Aunt Ye start her busy day.Because there was not enough flour in the store, Uncle Ye went out with a trolley to replenish supplies.

Ying Luofeng was sweeping the door with a broom. This was a job she got after arguing with Aunt Ye and Uncle Ye for a long time. Otherwise, the two old people would have just let their young lady become a hands-off shopkeeper.

The morning sunshine is very good, shining gently on this peaceful village.People began to walk on the street, but most of them were people preparing to start business, and there were many yawning and sleepy-eyed.

After sweeping the door, she leaned the broom against the wall, turned the wooden sign hanging on the door handle to the open side, and then pushed the door open and went in.

The sound of "ding bell, ding bell" sounded crisply, and the shell and wind chimes performed their duties obediently, and then settled down after the door was closed.

After the girl entered, a little blond head popped up in the alley opposite. After staring at the exquisitely decorated cake shop for a while, she still couldn't make a decision.After all, in Konoha, at least 9.9 out of ten stores would kick him out with a broom as soon as he stepped in.

In the store, Ying Luofeng was wearing an apron and making a two-layer birthday cake at the production table.After Aunt Ye handed over the work to the two aunts, she came to the front desk to help.Business was pretty good in the morning, and occasionally customers came over to watch the cake-making process.Several children nearby would also come over to play, although most of their goals were the delicious candies made by Aunt Ye.

After evenly applying white cream, she used her flower nozzle to create a circle of blooming pink roses on the first layer, interspersed with a few green leaves.After carving a cute, smiling bear out of butter and some simple decorations on the top layer, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at the watch behind the counter to find that two hours had passed.

"Fortunately, there is still enough time," Ying Luofeng put the finished cake into a box, packaged it, and put it in the refrigerator.The business in the morning was pretty good, and taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer customers, Aunt Ye also went into the kitchen to get busy.

There is a white porcelain bowl on the wooden counter with various candies in it.Sitting on the chair behind the counter, she took out a book and read it.The medium-sized cake shop has a sweet but not greasy aroma. Sunlight shines in from the glass window on the right, and the cakes bathed in the sunshine in the grid look delicious.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."The boy wore a white T-shirt with a wood industry logo on it, black shorts, and dark green goggles on his forehead.

"", Ying Luofeng's eyes flashed, and then she just thought that she didn't remember this strange boy who had a chance encounter yesterday.After a pause, she said directly without thinking, "I remember you are a cat."

"It's not a cat, it's a fox." The excited boy pointed at his face, subconsciously referring to what people in the village called him, "Look, this is the mark of a fox."

Ying Luofeng looked at the little guy who looked like his tail had been stepped on, then moved his eyes back to his book, and said calmly, "There's no way it could be a fox. Foxes are very smart."

"", the blond boy who couldn't turn around was stunned for a moment subconsciously. It took him a while to realize what it meant, and he immediately shouted angrily, "You just said that I'm not smart, that's too much." But it’s a very smart thing to say.”

"Oh, really." Ying Luofeng nodded, still looking at the book but using her free right hand to take out a candy from the porcelain bowl on the counter, "Then, do you want some candy?"

"I'm not a child," the boy said angrily, but his cheerful and lively look was completely different from the sad and lonely look yesterday.

"You are still a child no matter what." Ying Luofeng said with a smile, her eyes moved from the book to his young face, and then she shook the candy in her hand, "Here, I'll give you some candy~~"

"I'm not a child anymore, I'm 10 years old this year," the boy shouted seriously, his angry face full of childishness, "And you look a few years older than me, you are also a child."

"Unfortunately, I am three years older than you, and I am already the owner of this store. Theoretically speaking, I am no longer a child~" Ying Luofeng rarely became interested in teasing others and smiled. Shaking the bait in his hand, "Come on, call me sister and give you candy~"

"No and I'm not a child"

At this time, the curtain separating the shop and the kitchen was opened, and Aunt Koda and Aunt Ikawa, who had been invited to help, were also preparing to leave because their working hours were up.But when they came out and saw the blond boy standing in the store, their smiling faces suddenly changed color, and they looked at him with caution and coldness.

The boy originally planned to come in when there was no one around, but he didn't expect to see a familiar person in the store.But his originally happy look was a little stiff, and his body was slightly tensed, like a hedgehog about to erect its thorns.

"" Sensing the heavy atmosphere in the store, Ying Luofeng looked at them with some doubts and then at the boy who tensed his body, and guessed the general reason.

The obese Aunt Koda put her hands on her bloated waist, and frowned on her originally smiling face, as if she had seen something unclean, "Why are you here, why don't you get out quickly?"

"Yes, demon foxes can bring disasters to people." Aunt Igawa, who was always kind and lanky, was also helping, with disgust on her face, "Don't deceive the lady just because she is new here, get out quickly to avoid getting into trouble. It’s dirty here”

Hearing the way they were mean and insulting to a child, even though Ying Luofeng had always been approachable, she couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling slightly dissatisfied.

Although the boy often suffered such treatment, he also felt aggrieved.However, he didn't want to cause trouble here. After all, this store belonged to the girl who smiled tenderly at him.So, he just turned around and rushed out without saying a word, pursed his lips tightly, and the shell and wind chime hanging above the wooden door handle that was pulled open with great force made a chaotic sound.

The sound of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, bell."Ying Luofeng watched the wooden door go from shaking violently to becoming quiet, with confusion on her face.

"Miss, don't let that child come in next time. It's too dangerous." Aunt Koda still frowned slightly and worriedly warned the young lady who had just arrived here.

"Yes, yes, that is the nine-tailed demon fox that once destroyed the village and killed countless people. It is too dangerous." Aunt Igawa also tried to persuade her sincerely. After all, they quite liked this gentle lady.But when he suddenly realized what he had said, he immediately covered his mouth tightly and looked around nervously, "Oh no, I accidentally broke a taboo."

"", Ying Luofeng looked up at their faces, and a flash of deep thought flashed across their faces.She didn't understand. He was obviously just a child. Why did these mature adults look at him with such cold eyes?

However, although she didn't want to get involved in such a thing, she still said slightly accusingly, "That's just a child, there's no need to say it so harshly. If you see him in the store next time, even if you can't see him, Eyes, there is no need to say such words."

Aunt Koda and Aunt Igawa wanted to say something more, but when they saw Ying Luofeng just waved their hands to stop them.In desperation, they had no choice but to swallow what they wanted to say, bend down and leave.Although they disliked the blond demon fox kid, they still liked the new cake shop owner, not to mention, the salary she gave was quite generous.

The wind chime made a crisp sound due to the movement of the door, and then became quiet after a while.The cake shop still smelled sweet, and the assassin in the quiet shop could only hear the clock ticking.

"", Ying Luofeng slowly stopped while looking at the shell wind chime, then moved her eyes to the book, and continued to read the contents of the book slowly.

The curtain was gently lifted, and then Aunt Ye came out. After wiping her hands on her apron, she asked in a low voice, "Miss, what was so noisy just now?" Wuyou Novel et

Ying Luofeng slowly turned the book to the next page and asked calmly while reading, "Aunt Ye, the two aunts just mentioned the demon fox, what do you know?"

"Yes, there is a legend in Konoha Village that the child is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. It almost completely destroyed Konoha Village 10 years ago, but fortunately the Fourth Hokage sealed it away. However, people in the village have always believed that the child is the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Tailed Demon Fox, so I treated him coldly."

"This can no longer be described as treating a child with cold eyes. If you look at a child with such cold eyes, the village is not as bright as it seems." Ying Luofeng said calmly and continued to look at her hands. on the book.

After Aunt Ye looked at the shop where there were no customers, she asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you need to go find him?"

"No need, don't be too deliberate." Ying Luofeng said calmly, with a calm and gentle look on her childish face, "Just let nature take its course."

"Yes." Aunt Ye nodded, and then returned to the kitchen to work.

The store returned to silence, with only the sound of the clock's second hand moving and the occasional turning of book pages.

After reading a few pages, Ying Luofeng's eyes suddenly moved to the plate of candies on the counter. Then she didn't know what she thought of and suddenly smiled and said softly to herself, "Obviously like a cat with fried hair. .”

.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .............

Uncle Ye, who went out to replenish supplies, came back much later than usual today. In the past, if he went out at seven o'clock, he would be back close to 10:30, but today he was half an hour late.And when the meeting came, not only did he bring back the goods, but he also had a very familiar blond cat with a colorful face.

It's just that this colorful-faced cat has completely changed from what it was two hours ago. It looks dirty as if it's been beaten up, and that seems to be the case, after all, there are several marks on his face and arms. Bruises, but luckily no bleeding.

Uncle Ye was a little worried about the young lady's punishment for suddenly bringing a child back without the young lady's consent.But when he saw this kid he had met once being bullied, he couldn't bear to look on indifferently as he liked children.In addition, Ying Luofeng was very kind to this child yesterday, so he took it upon himself to bring him back.

The boy was obviously a little embarrassed. After all, he was scolded severely in this store just two hours ago.He originally wanted to run away, but the mute uncle dragged him back to the store.Because of his previous encounter, he was afraid that the young shopkeeper would look at him with cold disgust like others did.

The boy put his hands on his head, glanced at her pretending not to care, and made up his mind that if she was like the others, he would run away in the next second.But there was only slight surprise in the girl's dark eyes, but other than that, there was no cold emotion.This made him give up the idea of ​​​​escape, and at the same time he felt a little at ease.

At this time, Uncle Ye was using gestures to explain to Ying Luofeng who was sitting there that the person he met on the road was injured, so he brought him back.

"I understand, then Uncle Ye, please bring the flour in first." Ying Luofeng put down the book, stood up and shouted into the kitchen, "Aunt Ye, come out of the medical box."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain suddenly moved, and then the gray-haired Aunt Ye appeared in the store with a spatula in hand. Her speed did not look like that of an old woman in her late fifties.However, she didn't pay attention to this and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you injured?"

"No, that child is injured." Ying Luofeng explained calmly, and then walked towards the boy who was standing there looking at the sky and the earth but not anyone.

"I see, we have to deal with it quickly." Aunt Ye nodded, and after seeing the injuries on the blond boy, she quickly went back upstairs to get the medical kit.Uncle Ye saw that the lady was not displeased, so he happily started to move the goods.

Ying Luofeng walked up to the boy who was a head shorter than her, bent down slightly and said softly, "Go to the kitchen and sit for a while. After cleaning the wound, prepare to apply medicine."

"Thank you." This was the first time someone was so kind to him. The boy was obviously not used to it.Then he thought of something, looked away and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Afraid", Ying Luofeng raised her eyebrows, raised her hand to cover her lips and said with a chuckle, "Then please tell me, why should I be afraid of the colorful-faced cat showing its teeth and claws?"

"I told you I'm not a cat," the boy said angrily, but he gasped in pain as the wound was pulled.

"Hahaha, it really looks like a cat~" Ying Luofeng reached out and rubbed his fluffy blond hair in a rare good mood. After he was almost hairy, she asked with a chuckle, "Will you hurt me?"

"Oh," the boy didn't know why she asked such a question. After he came to his senses, he quickly shook his head, "No, absolutely not."

"That's okay. The people in the village treat you like this. You still remain cheerful and have never really hurt anyone. If you are really the demon fox who once destroyed the village, that would be too strange.", Sakura Luo Feng took out a white handkerchief embroidered with a pink cherry blossom and wiped the dust on his face, looked at him with a smile and said, "You are very kind, and children will not cause disaster, and you are just a child. .”

"", the boy stared blankly at her gentle smiling face, then smiled brightly and nodded vigorously, "Yeah"

No one had ever said such words to him, never such tender words.Different from the coldness in the past, he only felt waves of unfamiliar warmth at this moment.

Ying Luofeng looked at the six whisker-like marks on the smiling face, and inexplicably felt that this boy looked more and more like a cat.Well, although her mission is to get close to the Jinchūriki of the Kyuubi, she is essentially a cat controller

The boy smiled so happily that he narrowed his eyes and asked excitedly regardless of the wounds on his body, "Well, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, what about you?"

Only now did Ying Luofeng remember that they didn't even know each other's names, so she introduced herself with a smile, "Ying Luofeng."

"Well, please give me some advice~~Sister Feng~~~~~~"

In this way, by mistake, Sakura Luofeng met the future legendary hero of Konoha.Although she has a calm nature, she doesn't dislike the cheerful Naruto occasionally coming to the store to play.

After all, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a stray cat

The above comes from the original words of the owner of Yingluofeng.And because of this incident, the originally invisible cat-controlling personality began to become dominant.It turns out that one of her greatest pleasures in the future is to feed wild cats
