Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

In a ward in Konoha's hospital——

The blond boy's face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

With his eyes closed, his face was as delicate as a carefully carved doll.

The inpatient building is bustling with people and the nurses are busy.

But every time I passed by this ward, I would subconsciously look inside.

Seeing that the young man was still lying there, it seemed as if she had gotten used to his appearance.

Konoha suffered heavy losses after being attacked by the Nine-Tails. The Fourth Hokage, who had just taken office a year ago, and his wife both sacrificed themselves in order to save the village.

Everything happened too suddenly, and there was no candidate for Hokage yet, so the only option was for the abdicated Sandaime to return to the position.

In the silent night——

The boy on the hospital bed's eyelashes trembled slightly and his eyes slowly opened.

He pulled the needle out of his hand and stood by the window.

Blood dripped from his fingertips onto the ground.

"Wow, congratulations on breaking your sleep record again." Outside the window, a white-haired ninja was squatting on the eaves with an orange-covered book in his hand.

Chi Qing glanced at him and rubbed her empty belly: "Have I slept for a long time?"

Hatake Kakashi held up three fingers.

"Three days?" Chi Qing felt that his whole body looked a little weak, and it didn't seem like he had only slept for three days.

"Three months." Kakashi put the novel into his bag and stepped into the ward: "The bodies of the teacher and his wife have not been found, but the funeral has been completed."

"..."Of course we can't find the bodies because they are still here.

But Chi Qing certainly wouldn't say that.

However, the silence at this time turned into "sorrow" in Kakashi's eyes.

Kakashi patted the shoulder in front of him in comfort.

"Where's Naruto?" Three months, Naruto is already three months old.

"He..." Kakashi's face darkened: "He is being taken care of in an orphanage."

Chi Qing's eyes widened in disbelief: "Why is it an orphanage? As long as I'm alive! Naruto is not an orphan!"

Kakashi put his palms over Chi Qing's eyes: "I know you are angry, and I am angry too, but this is a decision made by the top management. Naruto's identity is too sensitive right now..."

The Nine-Tails' new Jinchūriki...

He should have been a heroic figure, but his appearance was too sudden, and the unsuspecting villagers mistook him for the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Kakashi visited Naruto in the orphanage.

Being locked in an independent room, no one would care even if I woke up or urinated.

Only at fixed times will the caregivers come to clean up and leave.

There is no love, only anger.

"I can't do anything." Kakashi withdrew his hand, his eyes returning to a decadent look: "Have a good rest, you are also a subject of surveillance now."

Chi Qing clenched his fists, thinking of the grown-up Naruto in the original work, who was smaller than his peers and was rejected by the villagers.

Even if there are special people to take care of them in the orphanage, how can they be properly cared for?

Chi Qing left through the window and ran to the orphanage Kakashi mentioned.

As if being sensed, Chi Qing stood outside the window of the room on the top floor. The hoarse cry of the baby in the room became a little faint.

He coughed from time to time, and there was no one else in the room except him.

Chi Qing's anger flared up again. His hand fell on the window, and a group of people instantly appeared around him and surrounded him: "Don't take another step forward."

"Don't you see that Naruto's condition is not right?" Chi Qing frowned, and blue chakra continued to come out.

Someone seemed to recognize Chi Qing and signaled everyone to stop: "Master Chi Qing, you can go in, but of course you can't take him away."

Chi Qing couldn't care about anything else at the moment. He opened the window, stood beside Naruto and picked him up.

As if sensing something, the crying child quieted down.
