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

After closing the door, Sasuke held the little fox in one hand and looked at him.

Then he snorted coldly, threw him on the bed, and sat at the desk to read a book.

Naruto was thrown aside before he had time to be happy about his reunion with Sasuke. He was stunned for a moment and his little head tilted.

He thought Sasuke recognized him, but it seemed he didn't.

Naruto tried to cancel the transformation jutsu but failed: "Huh??? Why can't I change back?"

Naruto puffed up his cheeks and even used force on his toes, but he just couldn't change back: "What should I do? I can't change back, Sasuke..." Probably because he turned into a fox cub, even his voice became like that of a child.

Seeing that Sasuke still ignored him, Naruto was confused: "Could it be that Sasuke can't understand what I'm saying? How could this be..." The child's voice was already choked with sobs.

It sounded like he was about to cry.

Naruto was so immersed in his worries that he didn't notice that Sasuke hadn't turned a page in the book in his hand yet.

"Sasuke! Sasuke~" Naruto shouted at Sasuke while sitting on the bed. He saw that he finally turned his head, but he just frowned and looked at him before returning his gaze to the book.

"I'll throw you out if you keep making noises." These threatening words confirmed to Naruto that he and Sasuke could not communicate in the same language.

"Hmm... Sasuke is so fierce." The little fox became visibly depressed and looked pitiful, and even the color of its fur became much duller.

But he quickly cheered up. Seeing that Sasuke had no intention of paying attention to him, the fox rolled over on his back on the bed, purring like a small animal from time to time.

But after rolling for a while, he stopped: "Wow... Sasuke's bed is so hard, not soft at all."

Then he crawled into the neatly folded quilt: "Hmm, it's the smell of Sasuke, I miss it so much~~Sniff~~Sniff~~"

Sasuke, who was sitting at the desk, twitched his fingers, as if he was trying to hold back, but Naruto, who was having fun by himself, didn't notice.

Tired of playing on the bed, the little fox Naruto simply crawled onto the desk with Sasuke's clothes on: "Sasuke Sasuke, what book are you reading? Wow, this content looks so difficult to understand! Sasuke is indeed so awesome!"

"Sasuke~ I'm Naruto~ But I'm a little sad that you didn't recognize me."

"Sasuke has become even more handsome when he grows up! Your father said he agrees to our marriage~"

"No, it's been so long, you may not still like me, but I still like Sasuke~"

The little fox read the contents of the book without stopping talking for a moment, and took advantage of the time when Sasuke couldn't understand to speak out his shameless thoughts.

"I have been looking for you, but I have never been able to get any news about you. My uncle didn't contact me before, and I missed you every day at that time." Speaking of the three years of practicing outside, the little fox shed tears.

Sasuke suppressed the urge to hug the boy in front of him, and held back, continuing to listen to his chatter.

Yes, boy.

From Sasuke's perspective, Naruto turned back to his original appearance when he first unleashed the transformation jutsu.

However, the moment he entered the room and met Sasuke's eyes, Naruto fell into Sasuke's illusion.

A... harmless little illusion.

Just because he wasn't ready to face Naruto right now.

It's just that because Naruto was not on guard against Sasuke, he didn't think about it in this way.

And even if he can't change back now, Naruto believes that there will be plenty of ways to change back after he returns to Konoha.

So, during this period of time, Sasuke basically understood what happened to Naruto during his blank years.

And also about the person who "replaced" him.
