Naruto, Time of Dawn

Xingxingxiangzhu reminds you: Please bookmark () after reading, so that it will be more convenient to read again.

The door opened, and Naruto was not frightened. He would never mistake the familiar chakra fluctuations, that was his child, Uzumaki Riko.

Li Xiao came in carrying a box containing decoction and closed the door.

"Dad, the medicine you want."

Naruto took the box Li Xiao handed him and put it on the cabinet next to the hospital bed.There is a small fire-attribute formation attached to the box, and its thermal insulation effect is much higher than that of an insulated box.

There was a snap.The box is opened.The unique fragrance and bitterness of herbs overflowed in this small space.

"Not bad, Li Xiao's research on herbal medicine is getting better and better!"

Herbal medicines may appear to be ordinary, but each has its own characteristics.To best stimulate the medicinal properties, there is a lot of knowledge involved in picking or cooking.It is very difficult to process the purchased herbal medicine to this extent without sufficient theoretical basis and practice.

"There is still a long way to go compared to dad. But dad, are you okay? You look very bad."

Li Xiao is rarely humble.But my concern for my father has never changed.And now he had something to ask Granny Tsunade alone, so he had to move her away.

"It's okay, I'm just tired. I'll be fine in a while."

Naruto skillfully poured out the soup and fed it to Grandma Tsunade little by little with a small spoon.

Although Li Xiao was dissatisfied with his father for not caring about his own health, he still hurried over to help and used a tissue to wipe away the unfed soup that flowed down his cheeks.

When everything was over, Naruto, who had been busy for a long time, slumped in his chair and didn't want to move.Li Xiao stood beside the hospital bed and looked carefully.I was sure it would take a while to finally calm down when I woke up, but my heart started to feel restless.Dad has to leave.

"dad."

"Hmm--" Naruto didn't bother to reply, and he said "um" with a longer ending.

Li Xiao understood that his father was already very tired.

"I'll guard my mother-in-law here. If dad is tired, he can go back and have a good rest."

"Well, I'm indeed tired." Naruto stretched out beautifully on this chair and rubbed his sore eyes, feeling a little comfortable.

"Then leave this place to Li Xiao. Sister Shizune will come over later to change my mother-in-law's dressing. If my mother-in-law hasn't woken up yet, remember to tell my sister Shizune that the tailed beast chakra in her mother-in-law has been withdrawn, but her muscles have been damaged."

"Well, remember. Dad, please go back quickly! Trust me!"

In order to achieve his goal, Li Xiao had already started to push the person out.Naruto didn't react much to this, and walked out of the ward happily, as if he didn't notice the child's thoughts.Or maybe he believed that his mother-in-law would not tell Li Xiao the truth.

After Naruto left, the quiet ward became even quieter.Li Xiao simply lay down next to the hospital bed and planned to catch up on some sleep.He's just a kid.Lack of sleep really makes me feel sluggish.Coupled with my own special situation and this quiet environment, not sleeping is a complete letdown!

When Naruto came out of the hospital, he immediately ducked until no one came out. He formed a mental seal and used the branch and body technique again. The newly appeared branch, body and main body looked like the other party nodded slightly, and then he formed a seal and ran away.Some things have to come ahead of some people, so it's not time to rest yet.

When Shizune came in, Li Xiao was sleeping soundly and Tsunade-sama had already woken up, looking at Li Xiao's little head to clear his thoughts.

Everyone would be surprised if an unknown child around four years old suddenly appeared in the ward, let alone the Hokage's ward!

"Tsunade-sama, you're awake!"

"..." Tsunade did not answer, but nodded, which was not rude.

"I'll change your dressing."

Tsunade still didn't answer, but asked a question

"Shizune, this child..."

"Oh!" Shizune suddenly realized, and explained with a smile, "This is Naruto's child, called Li Xiao. It's very cute, isn't it."

"Naruto's child..." Tsunade mused.Finally turned into a bitter smile

"That kid chose the worst path after all."

"what?"

"It's nothing," Tsunade raised her hand and said casually, "Hurry up and change my dressing."

"Oh hi!"

"I'll go out first." No one expected that Li Xiao would have woken up at this time.

Neither of them noticed when he woke up!

Tsunade didn't care too much.She didn't say anything she shouldn't have said.Anyway, the child is out, so hurry up and change the dressing. The Hokage has so much work to do and he will be in chaos if he doesn't heal his own injury!

"Qingyin, is anyone handling the files these days?"

"Well, Tsunade-sama, after you passed out, the senior management unanimously decided that Danzo-sama would temporarily take over as Hokage." Shizune gently opened the gauze, trying not to hurt Tsunade-sama.

"Duanzo" Tsunade snorted coldly, her tone disdainful, "That guy has great ambitions. He hasn't had any big problems in the past few days."

"No, but Naruto is back."

"I know, with Naruto's temper, how could he leave the child here alone."

"really."

Shizune chuckled and agreed with Tsunade.

There was nothing to talk about now, so Tsunade simply gave up on treatment and concentrated on checking her physical condition.

But as soon as the chakra was used, she felt pain all over her body. She no longer thought about what was going on. There was something wrong with her muscles and veins.

"Mute,"

Tsunade's beautiful face suddenly lost her smile and became extremely cold, even her eyebrows wrinkled.

Shizune understood and became serious.

"Please instruct your lord."

"My muscles and veins are damaged. Now it's up to you to secretly recuperate my body. In addition, arrange for me to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"Sir, there is no rush to leave the hospital. It is important to take good care of yourself first."

Tsunade's words were like a bolt from the blue to Shizune.How can I be discharged from the hospital at this time?Even if you have excellent medical skills, you cannot be so willful and leave the hospital with serious injuries!

"Shizune, this is an order. If I don't show up, this Konoha will be his Danzo's world!" The majesty that was no longer hidden poured out with majestic momentum.This is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

"Hi!" Shizune was impressed by this momentum for the first time. Just like her original vow, she would work hard and devote her whole life to supporting Tsunade, becoming her right-hand man, a sharp sword in the hands of the Fifth Hokage, and fighting for her. war.

"Okay, let's go out!"

Tsunade had just woken up not long ago, which made Tsunade instinctively feel that her intentions were uninterested.

"Hi."

The door to the ward was opened and closed shortly before being opened again.

"I'm very tired now, please get out."

Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows with a sad look on her face.

"Mother-in-law, I have something to ask you."

The person standing at the door was not Shizune, but Li Xiao.The child from before.

"Oh, I thought it was Shizune. It turns out to be you, Naruto's son, Li Xiao. Right."

Although there were some things that made her not want to see Li Xiao.But Naruto cared about the child, she could tell.If you don't care, the brows holding the child will not be full of gentleness.So she is naturally willing to love Wujiwu.Naturally, I have a lot more patience when facing this child.

"Yes. Mother-in-law, can you answer my question? That is very important to me."

The little child's blue eyes were filled with determination and the deepest uneasiness.He looked exactly like the Naruto he had seen back then, it was like going back in time.

"It depends on what you ask. I don't know everything." Tsunade patted the bed rail and motioned for Li Xiao to come over and come to her side.

Li Xiao turned around and closed the door, then sat down next to Tsunade calmly.

Tsunade took a closer look at the child in front of her.This child has very few similarities with Naruto. The most similar thing is his eyes, which are the same as Naruto's, bright, clear, and clean.Like the sky, it makes people feel relaxed and happy.The other parties are particularly similar to that person, but the child is too young to see clearly.It would be hard to tell if it had grown open.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Tsunade pulled out a strand of long hair and twisted it around her fingers, which was a little habit of hers.Speaking of which, she has quite a few little habits, and just this one is a bit like a little girl.

"Do you know, mother-in-law... who is my mother?"

The most important and most concerning question was finally asked.So what answer will he get?How disturbing.

"Didn't Naruto tell you?"

"No." Li Xiao shook his head and looked into Tsunade's eyes again.It means asking questions.

Another twisted guy.

Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, this child's character was exactly the same stubbornness as his parents.

"I really can't tell you this. This is the knot in Naruto's heart. When the knot opens, you will know. But Li Xiao, it's better not to know some things."

"..."

Li Xiao fell silent.

The same answer as the big fox.Is my mother that unwelcome? !

"Mother-in-law, doesn't my mother like you?"

"No, we all like your mother, and we all want to protect your mother. But most of the time, he stands in front of us."

Tsunade looked a little nostalgic and couldn't help but look out the window.

"Then why? Why don't you want to tell me! Dad is like this, Big Fox is like this, and even you, mother-in-law, are like this!" Li Xiao shouted uncontrollably, "Since you all keep saying you like my mother, why don't you tell me !Why can’t I know!”

"Li Xiao!"

The child's eyes were filled with tears, and Tsunade could understand the longing for her mother.

"Mother-in-law, tell me! I clearly feel the love from my mother, so why does she refuse to see me."

Tsunade couldn't stand it any longer. She hugged the injured child tightly and comforted him.

"Li Xiao, your mother has always been by your side! Although he did not tell you his true identity or your life experience, he loves you and cares about you, so he believes in your mother-in-law. One day you will know the truth, even though it is shocking. , but he loves you more than anyone else in the world. Just the same love as your Naruto father."

"Woooo..."

The child curled up his small body and wanted to get close to Tsunade's arms but didn't dare.Trembling in her arms and sobbing softly, such a child is so heartbreaking.

After a while, Li Xiao hurriedly escaped from Tsunade's arms and turned his back to Tsunade.

This is very rude behavior.But Tsunade didn't pay attention.She knew the child was trying hard to keep the tears from falling from his eyes.Just like Naruto when he was a child, although Naruto was naughty at that time and kept playing pranks every day, he also had to be strong and unwilling to show his uneasiness and wounded heart in front of others.

"Grandma, please have a good rest. I'll come see you later."

Her young voice was hoarse and trembling from crying.Tsunade's heart couldn't help but feel clenched.But she still smiled. Even if Li Xiao couldn't see it, she still wanted to smile at the child.Even if the smile is far-fetched.

"Well, mother-in-law is waiting for Li Xiao."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiao turned into a gust of wind and rushed out of the ward.

The wind dried the tears in the corners of his eyes and took away the "water drops" on his eyelashes. At this time, Li Xiao still didn't know that the big fox had told his father everything that had just happened. Even because of this incident before And he said it even after not sleeping all night.

The blond lolita who had just come out of the drugstore had a pale face. A kind person came up and asked

"Little girl, you look ugly. Do you want to take a look?"

"No, thank you. I'll just go home and have a good rest."

"Then do you want me to take you back?" The kind-hearted person felt that this little girl really didn't cherish herself.I still go out and buy so many medicines even during my menstrual period.

"No, my home is not far from here. It won't be a problem."

After speaking, the little blond girl quickened her pace to leave.

I'm sorry, Li Xiao, I'm sorry! It's not that I don't want to tell you, but how can you accept that kind of life experience.So that’s it, okay?Stop asking, stop searching for the truth.Just the same as before.

When Naruto arrived home, Li Xiao was already at home, sitting in the living room holding a book in a daze.

After putting away the medicine he bought, Naruto quietly walked behind Li Xiao and leaned into Li Xiao's ear, deliberately raising his voice and shouting.

Li Xiao, who regained consciousness and was frightened, put the book in his hand to Naruto's face without thinking.

Li Xiao, who was furious, shouted to Naruto very seriously

"Idiot dad! What are you doing!"

Naruto consciously covered his ears with his hands and smiled so hard that he deserved a beating.

"Who told you, Li Xiao, that you were distracted? It's so rare to see you, so of course you have to scare me."

This sentence successfully aroused Li Xiao's anger. If he was just a little dissatisfied with his father's childish behavior just now, he is really angry now.

Ever since, the little child waved his little arms and pounced on Naruto like a crazy kitten.

At this time, Danzo, who was in the Hokage room, really wanted to flip the table. This Uzumaki Naruto was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp. Tsunade Senju, who had been lying down for almost a week, woke up just after he came back. How could this continue!

"Sir, don't be angry. According to reliable information, the fifth generation of eye muscles and veins were damaged. If it cannot be restored..."

"Then she won't want to be a ninja anymore!" Danzo understood what he should do.Immediately waved his hand

"You, bring me someone to buy all the medicine in Konoha that can heal the tendons. If you don't give it, then you will destroy it for me!"

With vicious eyes and a big hand, he is a complete villain.

Hospital,

Tsunade raised her hand, and a dark shadow flashed past, appearing in the room.

"Yami, Naruto is back."

"I know."

"You still think Naruto can bring your brother back?"

"..." An was silent for a long time before saying

"I believe Naruto-kun."

"You still don't dare to see him." Tsunade shook her head helplessly. Each of these children was more stubborn than the last, and each one made her feel more distressed than the last.It even made her doubt whether she could still be a good Hokage.

"It would be better not to see you."

"I said Naruto has a knot in his heart, so why don't you? Yami, do you really want to hide in this darkness for the rest of your life?"

"Everything is my choice, as long as he is fine."

"Is he okay?" Tsunade seemed to have heard a joke and sneered, "He is okay now? Yami, why are you still unwilling to face it? Do you think this is really good?"

Yami didn't answer anymore and just flew out of the window.

Tsunade, who was left alone, curled her lips and murmured

"Uncute brat."
