Naruto: The Iceman of the Senju Family

Going to work, getting off work, practicing, visiting teachers...

A week, a month, a quarter, half a year...

The peaceful days passed like this day by day, and the physical fitness and strength of the three people in Class [-] continued to grow rapidly.

Just when Senju Maysuki once thought that he would spend his growth period smoothly until he was strong enough to participate in some important plots, he met an unexpected person by the river.

Still by the river in the east of the village, Senju Mayuki was turning the grilled fish branches unconsciously while imagining her new ability in her mind:

'Since we can control ice to shape at a distance, can we combine chakra and some characteristics of shadow clones to directly condense ice clones in the distance to achieve the effect of 'consciousness coming'...'

The dry wood in the fire crackled, and the delicious grilled fish gradually exuded an alluring fragrance.

"Grumble~"

"Who?"

"Deng deng deng ~"

A child about the same age as Shikamaru was frightened by his sudden and fierce shout and took several steps back. However, after looking at him, the child's eyes were finally attracted by the grilled fish and did not leave.

"Grumble~"

The child held his stomach that was still growling and looked at the grilled fish in the elder brother's hand that was a little burnt because it had not been turned for a long time. He couldn't help but swallowed and reminded loudly:

"The fish is burnt! Do you know how to grill fish?"

"Uh."

Only then did Senju Mayuki come to his senses and quickly took the fish away from the fire rack.

This appearance and mouth habits, as well as that dazzling blond hair and beard...

Uzumaki Naruto finally met.

Looking at the dirty child in front of her, Senju Maysuki suddenly had a sudden illusion in her heart:

It's as if I'm still watching anime, as if everything before was just my imagination...

"Gululululu~~~"

"I'm not reminding you because I want to eat! I...I can also catch fish myself! And the fish I bake will definitely taste better than yours!"

Logically speaking, it is a very happy thing to finally meet the protagonist after two years in this world.

But for some reason, in such a scene, especially after seeing his stomach growling like this and still pretending to be strong, Senju Maysuki didn't feel any joy at all. only……

Inexplicably sad.

Even if it was for the sake of confidentiality, it wouldn't make a child less than 3 years old like this, right?

Isn't there a more appropriate and fair way to deal with this child who doesn't know anything?

"Want to eat?"

"Goo~"

After hearing his question, Naruto swallowed hard first, but still did not step forward. Instead, he repeated it loudly:

"I can also catch fish!"

But while he was talking, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the grilled fish and could no longer leave.

"Tell me your name and I'll treat you to grilled fish."

"Really!"

Naruto's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly stepped forward and squatted next to the fire. While staring at the grilled fish, he said a little shyly: "My name is Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Here, take this and eat it, be careful not to burn your mouth."

"Thank you brother!"

Naruto happily took the branch and stuffed it into his mouth. Even if it was burned and "hissed haha", it could not stop him from swallowing it at all.

"Eat slowly, it's not enough. If it burns your mouth, you'll be the only one who hurts."

Seeing Naruto gobbling up the food, Senju Mayuki slipped on another fish and grilled it, but her heart felt a little hard to calm down for a long time:

I just have better luck. If I swap identities and memories with him, can I do better than him?

"Uzumaki... Are there still people from the Uzumaki clan in Konoha Village?"

Although he knew this very well, in his memory, it seemed that the third generation had always arranged for someone to keep an eye on Naruto secretly, so he still pretended to ask a few questions.

"Huh~huh~~Brother, what did you say?"

Naruto asked vaguely while concentrating on the grilled fish.

"...Forget it, it's fine."

Anyway, it’s just a show.

"We just had lunch now. Why are you so hungry? And you have come so far away from the village? Didn't your parents ask you to go home for dinner?"

"..."

Naruto paused while eating the fish, and his voice was obviously much lower:

"I don't have parents, and I have never met them. I asked several times, but grandpa didn't tell me who they were..."

"Oh...I'm sorry."

"Suck!"

When he heard what he said, Naruto suddenly sniffed and said loudly, pretending to be cheerful:

"It doesn't matter! I'm used to it! Even if I am alone, I will grow up well! Now I can make noodles and wash clothes by myself, and I can also catch and grill fish!"

"Really?"

Senju Mayuki also seemed to be infected by his optimism, and a smile appeared on her face, and then she handed him the branch she had just strung.

"As a thank you, let me taste your grilled fish technique!"

Naruto: o_o....

"No... no problem!"

I bit the bullet and took the branch. Although I am still very young, I know that I can't escape eating other people's food, and I have to repay the favor!

"Just look at mine!"

While Naruto was recalling Senju Mayuki's action of grilling fish just now, he pretended to cheer himself up:

"It will definitely be no worse than your burnt one!!"

However, in less than a minute, a fresh fish turned into ashes under their eyes...

"This...this doesn't count! You'll get nervous if you keep looking at me!"

Looking at Senju Mayuki's slightly speechless eyes, Naruto was obviously panicked and blushing. He hurriedly ate the charcoal in three mouthfuls, and then took a new skewer from the stone next to it.

"Hey! Don't eat it if it's burnt!"

'This little guy...is afraid of the waste he has caused. Will I blame him? '

Seeing Naruto's tightly pursed lips and the obvious awkwardness in his movements, Senju Maysuki suddenly had a realization in his heart:

Although he seems careless on the surface, Naruto is still very sensitive and delicate when facing people who show kindness to him...

It's a pity that until the end, Senju Maysuki failed to eat the grilled fish that Naruto said was "more powerful than you". Even if he hadn't forcibly stopped him later, this little guy would have dared to eat every failed char. Only when you put it in your stomach can you feel at ease!

"next time……"

When they were about to say goodbye, he didn't know whether it was because he was unwilling or something else, but Naruto's eyes began to sparkle with tears, but he still pretended not to care and said loudly:

"Next time I will definitely cook a better grilled fish than you!"

After saying that, she looked at him eagerly with eyes that seemed provocative but actually expected.

'...Actually, you want to ask me if we will meet again next time. '

"Okay! You little brat has wasted so much of my fish. I won't give up until you let me taste some delicious grilled fish!"

I can’t tell exactly why, maybe it’s also because I’m not willing to give in.

In short, Senju Maysuki, who had always thought of herself as a calm-tempered person, felt a little inexplicable at this moment, and she made a promise with Naruto:

"I will come here often to wait for you in the future! You kid, don't ever think about escaping without authorization!"

The tears finally couldn't be controlled anymore!

In the moment before he was "embarrassed", Naruto suddenly turned his back to him.

"Hmph! Don't underestimate people! I, Naruto Uzumaki, am not the kind of liar who keeps his word! Just wait and see!"

"Okay! It's an agreement then! Whoever breaks the agreement will be the puppy!"

"It's a promise! Who's afraid of whom?"

At this point, Naruto couldn't help it anymore, and wiped his eyes with his arm, then turned around and stretched out his little finger pretending not to care. Seeing this, Senju Mazuki also stretched out his little finger to hook up with him.

"The agreement has been made, and whoever reneges on it will be the puppy Wang Wang Wang Wang!"

"Hum~"

Naruto's face suddenly seemed to be filled with sunshine, and then he threw away his two little arms and ran towards the village.

"I will definitely bake better fish than you next time! Just wait and see!"

The voice is so bright and exciting!

It was as if this agreement was also the light that penetrated the darkness for him!
