Naruto, Time of Dawn

Time passes quickly, but that is for others.But for Naruto, every day seems like a year!

Not to mention that during this period, in order to ensure that the "Five Shadows Talk" could proceed smoothly, he checked the information over and over again.Constantly analyzing all the problems that may arise, when I am very tired, I will solve the little troubles caused by Li Xiao from time to time. He is also a head and two older!

If he wasn't worried, he would have just thrown out his hands and gone on strike!Whoever you love will go!

………………

"Li Xiao."

After dinner, Naruto stopped Li Xiao who was cleaning up the dishes.

"I know, Dad."

The identical blue eyes stared at each other silently, also filled with deep worry and reluctance.

"Dad, just remember that I am waiting for you to come back in Konoha."

He didn't like parting, but he tasted the bitterness brought by parting again and again.But one thing he is sure of is that when everything is over, he can always be with his father.

"Ah."

Naruto was the first to smile, his eyebrows gentle.This is the tacit understanding between him and Li Xiao for many years, and it is also the agreement between the two.

"Li Xiao also needs to be obedient. Don't just read books, and don't always make Mr. Iruka unhappy."

For Naruto, the most important thing is the last one!

As for why... Ever since Li Xiao started attending the Ninja Academy, Mr. Iruka had told him frequently that he should take good care of Li Xiao and tell him what it would be like to read books that have nothing to do with the class during class!

"understood."

Li Xiao put the used dishes and chopsticks into the basin, then returned to the living room and sat next to Naruto.

"Also," Naruto raised his hand and put it on his lower abdomen to indicate: "Its power must not be used indiscriminately, understand? If your eyes start to hurt again, the newly made ointment is in the bedroom. If you still feel uncomfortable, tell everyone Fox, it can definitely help Li Xiao..."

Saying that, Naruto hugged Li Xiao.

He knew clearly that Akatsuki's target was the tailed beast, and he was also the target of the other party's pursuit.But he appeared in Konoha again, which undoubtedly put himself in danger again.

Maybe he shouldn't have brought Li Xiao back from the beginning.

"Okay," Li Xiao hugged his suddenly fragile father and comforted him: "Dad, you have to believe in Li Xiao! Besides, aren't there Uncle An and the others? It will be fine."

………………

The next day, Naruto did not see Li Xiao among the crowd sending the Hokage away.Although it was expected, the Godaime began to joke: "Naruto, you've been gone for so long, can't that little guy Li Xiao come to see you off?"

"If Granny Tsunade wants Li Xiao to see you off, just say so." Naruto smiled slightly and threw the topic back in a hurry.

"If my mother-in-law asks, the child might really come."

"whispering sound!"

Tsunade gave Naruto a look of disgust, but Naruto was right.She hadn't seen Li Xiao for a few days, and she really missed the child.

"Let's go! Go early and come back early. It's best if you can spare some time for me to go to Danzhu Street and have a good gamble!"

"Master Tsunade!"

When she heard that Tsunade-sama was going to act recklessly without doing her job, Shizune was the first to jump out and object.

"How could you do this?!"

"Eh..." Tsunade was stunned for a moment.But what’s wrong with her just liking gambling?

"Shizune, can you stop being so rigid!"

Tsunade-hime was famous for being informal, and without caring about the Hokage robe she was wearing, she hooked Shizune's neck.

"You're obviously not older than me, so why do you act like an old man?"

"Master Tsunade!"

When Tsunade-hime said this, Shizune wanted to explode!He looked like he wanted to have a good talk with Tsunade-sama.

Shikamaru looked at the sky helplessly. Now that Tsunade-sama is like this, if Naruto really becomes Hokage, will he suffer from progeria?

"We should leave. If we don't leave, our trip will be delayed."

"Hi!"

The accompanying guards, Naruto, Kakashi, and Neji responded.To be honest, it would be too late if I really waited for the Godaime and Miss Shizune to make it clear.

"Hey! Just wait!"

The group of people hadn't walked for long when Tsunade, who noticed that they had taken a step ahead, hurriedly stopped them, "I asked you guys, do you still have a sense of inferiority? I didn't even say anything. Why are you so anxious?"

Tsunade cursed and caught up, wondering if she was too spoiled to them?So that one or two of them are so disobedient?

The farewell people looked at me and I looked at you, and I wanted to say: Tsunade-sama!If you are so disrespectful to yourself, how can they, as subordinates, not support themselves?

Above Yan Yan, Li Xiao sat there and watched the group leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to send it off, he's just afraid.I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to hold it back and would chase them away.

He already knew clearly what the "Five Kage Talk" was from Mr. Kakashi.If something went wrong in such an important meeting because of his intervention, it would definitely bring a lot of trouble to Dad and Konoha.So he was willing to stay here and watch them leave.

"Aren't you going to send them off?"

Someone suddenly appeared behind him. Li Xiao turned around and saw gray robes and a black cat mask.If I remember correctly, this should be the ANBU codenamed "Eagle".

"No. Dad promised me that he would come back. And I also promised him to stay in Konoha and wait for him to come home."

"is it?"

Ying was not talking, and Li Xiao was not talking. The whole family just watched the people leaving, letting the breeze blow their robes, which was exceptionally harmonious.

In fact, Ying himself didn't know why he appeared in front of Li Xiao. He should obviously hate this child.But when he saw the child sitting alone on Yanyan, lonely and lonely, he couldn't help but want to stand beside the child, and even wanted to comfort him!

This is simply unreasonable!

"Hey! Where is your mother?"

He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. He wanted to know who the ignorant guy was who dared to rob that idiot!

"do not know."

The little guy, who had always had mild mysophobia, lay down directly without caring about his image.The blue sky always made him feel relaxed, just like his father's eyes.

"I never met my mother."

Li Xiao stretched out his hands, as if he wanted to grab something.Finally gave up.He stood up and said: "It's time for training, let's take a step first."

The small figure disappeared from sight, and the eagle was no longer surprised.I don't know where that idiot learned the ninjutsu, but it was because of this ninjutsu that he and Anami had to circle around Konoha from time to time.

But...have you never seen your mother?

Uzumaki Naruto, what are you hiding?Who is Uzumaki Lixiao? !

………………

"Akatsuki" is in an underground stronghold in the Country of Fire.

The man wearing the whirlpool mask said solemnly: "Is the news reliable?"

"Yes!"

The man in red cloud and black robe nodded, his expression full of seriousness.

"God help me! Go to Konoha immediately. If you can't bring the child back, come here to see him!"

"Hi!"

"Hahahahaha!!!!"

Under the whirlpool mask, the strange-colored eyes were full of madness and fierceness.

"Kyuubi! Let's see where you can escape this time?!"

…………

It had been three days since Naruto and the others left.No one was pressing me during this period, so Li Xiao didn’t even go to school!All day long he was either in the library or in his bedroom or in the woods where Naruto took him.Iruka-san was so angry that his teeth started to itch!

The scariest thing is that Naruto really guessed it right. If no one cares, this kid can eat the dessert as a meal!Today, Li Xiao, a naughty kid, went to buy his favorite dessert for dinner as usual.

how to say?The pastry shop that was a little far away from the village tasted really good. Although it was still lacking compared to Uncle Furuma's craftsmanship, Konoha was no better than other places, so he made do with it.

"You just want to keep eating that food until your dad comes back?!"

On the road as usual, at the same time.Suddenly someone appeared looking for trouble, which made Li Xiao very unhappy. He puffed up his cheeks and yelled back!

"I don't care what you eat, you care what I do?!"

"you!"

This man is Eagle. As a powerful ninja, he was silenced by a little kid!What a shame in life!

"All right."

Yami gently patted Ying Ying's left shoulder with one hand, hoping that his partner would not be as experienced as this annoying child.

"Li Xiao, just eating these snacks is not good for your health, and Li Xiao doesn't want to see you like this when dad comes back, right?"

"whispering sound."

Li Xiao curled his lips in dissatisfaction, obviously unhappy, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't want you to worry about it!"

In the end, under the attack of Yami's hard and soft tactics, and the eyes of the hawk.The little devil had no choice but to give in and eat his first relatively normal meal in three days.

But...the little guy is not a vegetarian either!After An and Ying asked him to have a good meal, they were immediately put on the list of key targets for teasing. It can be said that they have not been exposed to Fangjiewa for three days!

What makes An and Ying even more troublesome is that they find that catching this little devil is getting more and more difficult, and they are constantly trying new tricks.The most serious thing was that they couldn't find this little devil all day and night. If Ying hadn't found Li Xiao sleeping in a cave, they almost thought that "Xiao"'s people had taken action!

It’s really not reassuring at all.

By the way, is it too late for them to regret it?Without Naruto to hold him down, this brat would start acting like hell again!This will cause trouble sooner or later, okay? !

………………

After a week of battling wits with An and Uncle Ying, he finally achieved some success in the ninjutsu his father taught him.This is also embarrassing for Li Xiao. He is busy teasing others every day and refuses to even let him practice!

After completing today's training task, Li Xiao simply ran down the river without stopping.

The children who could not stand firmly on the river before were now able to walk as fast as they could on the ground.Along the river, the child became happier and happier as he ran. The breeze blew through his hair and cheeks, and his speed became faster and faster, as if he wanted to leave all suspicions and worries behind.

"Hey--"

"Li Xiao!"

Locke Li, who was practicing physical skills nearby, happened to see Li Xiao going down the river. He was enthusiastic and greeted Li Xiao immediately.

The call was so enthusiastic that Li Xiao couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to, so he had to stop and use his feet to get ashore.

"Uncle Li, why are you here?"

"Practice!"

Rock Lee's eyes seemed to have burning flames of passion!However, this passion did not seem to arouse Li Xiao's idea.

"Is Li Xiao also practicing?"

"Just going home."

After running for so long, it would be a lie to say I’m not tired.What's more, the sweat was dripping down his cheeks!

But... Li Xiao's eyes lit up.If he hadn't done anything before, he might have been too lazy to do anything, but... he's been idle recently, and it will definitely get moldy if he doesn't move!

"But I can spar with Uncle Li."

In fact, if Locke Li used all his strength, or if Li Xiao didn't use ninjutsu, Li Xiao might not be able to take even one move.But this is not the point. The point is that Li Xiao has defeated Xiao Li before, so if possible, Li would be very happy to spar with Li Xiao.

Think of it as a guide to the younger generations. O(n_n)O

"Okay!"

Rock Lee is interested, (No! This guy has always been interested! Trust me!)

"Then Li Xiao must be careful!"

As he spoke, Xiao Li stood up and raised his left hand to his chest in a gesture of invitation.

"Hi!"

Li Xiao smiled slightly, but what was different from that clean smile was that he had already started to take action.And it was the Rasengan that Naruto taught him before.Little guy, you are so cruel!

However, because he didn't have much chakra to use, Li Xiao hid from Uncle Li's attack when he could. If he couldn't, he tried to defend, and then found the right opportunity to attack directly.

But Li Xiao is just a child after all. Facing someone with strong physical skills and much higher physical strength than himself, he is no match for him unless he uses those unconventional methods.It didn't take long for him to lose his strength. If Li hadn't stopped in time, he would have been injured in all likelihood.

Li pulled up Li Xiao who fell to the ground and said with a smile: "Li Xiao is really powerful! He is much stronger than me back then. He is truly worthy of being Naruto's child."

"Oh!"

The little guy seems to be very dissatisfied with this result. He selfishly hopes that he can be stronger and stronger, so that he can protect his idiot father under any circumstances.

"Let's practice together!"

Seeing that Li Xiao was a little unhappy, Xiao Li instinctively comforted him: "Although I can't teach Li Xiao ninjutsu, I can teach Li Xiao taijutsu!"

Li Xiao does not deny this. His father told him that the best in physical skills in Konoha is Uncle Li, his teacher, Mr. Metkai.

"Sorry, Uncle Li."

Li Xiao smiled and refused.His body is just like his father's. Although it looks healthy, it will collapse quickly if it touches some inconspicuous bottom line.So he promised his father that he would not practice too much physical skills without his permission.

"There will be time later."

"Oh."

Rejected?Li, are you not strong enough?

Xiao Li tried to smile so that he still looked like the heartless and stupid young man.I secretly plan to work hard!Only in this way can one day catch up with Naruto.

"Yo Xi! Start with five thousand roundhouse kicks! Come on Li Sang!"

After saying that, Xiao Li has already started his own plan!It came and went like the wind, and Li Xiao's mouth twitched in shock.But it fits his father's evaluation of him - a focused, silly boy!

"Hey! Uncle Li, wait for me!"

Although you can’t train directly, there should be no problem if you exercise your body a little and enhance your immunity!

However... what responded to Li Xiao was Jue Chen's figure walking away and the dust that stirred up.

Uncle Xiao Li... Is your speed a little too fast?

(Bamboo: If Li Xiao knew that there was a huge lead weight on Xiao Li, would he collapse immediately?)

There is no other way, just chase.

"350 seven, 350 eight, 350 nine..."

When Li Xiao arrived, Rock Lee was training roundhouse kicks, and he had already counted more than 300. Looking at the pillars he kicked... both speed and strength had become perfect.

Li Xiao was fascinated by the clumsy training method. He seemed to understand what his father had said to him: the world never lacks geniuses, but down-to-earth persistence and hard work.

"Uncle Li!!"

Although he was focused on studying Uncle Li's movement skills, Li Xiao did not relax his vigilance about his surroundings, so he immediately noticed the kunai flying towards Uncle Li.

The evil ones hiding in the dark finally started to act, and the target - Uzumaki Lixiao!The son of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki!
