Konoha's Ninja Realm Hanmang

In the blink of an eye, time came to the midsummer of Konoha's 54th year. This was also Han's ninth year in the world of Naruto.

After Han graduated from the ninja school early and became a genin, he did not receive any dangerous tasks. At most, he was to wipe out the bandits near Konoha Village who were harming the villagers. Then he completed the secret mission assigned by the third generation and took care of Naruto. However, Han's Kunai can be regarded as stained with blood during the mission, which is also a sign that Han has officially become a ninja. After all, in this turbulent ninja world, killing is a compulsory course for every ninja. In the rest of the time, Han still devoted himself to training and learning ninjutsu. After all, time for peace is hard-won, and the next ninja world will be one wave after another of chaos, and Konoha Village is at the center of these waves of war.

On this day, Han unusually did not show up at the training ground. Instead, he went shopping with the Saaki family. It turns out that tomorrow is the annual summer festival, and Saaki's family of three rarely gets together to buy ingredients and clothes for the daily event. "Han, and Saaki, what do you want to eat tomorrow?" Iori looked at the dazzling array of ingredients on the stall next to him and was confused for a moment, so he had to ask Saaki and his son for help, "No, mother, I don't want to be there tomorrow. I'm having dinner at home and I want to go out for a walk. I heard that there will be a lot of good performances and delicious food in the summer festival village." Han seemed to be really like a playful child, shouting and retorting.

"No! We have an appointment with Itachi, Sasuke's family, and Shisui's family for dinner tomorrow. Don't you want to have dinner with Itachi, Shisui, and little Sasuke?" Iori looked at Han's inexplicable willful refusal. road.

"But in my whole life, I have never seen what a summer festival in a village looks like." Han still looked at Iori with a look of anger. Of course Han had his reasons, because he had promised Naruto that he would accompany little Naruto at this year's Summer Festival, so he had no choice but to resist in order not to disappoint Naruto.

"Forget it, the child has been training with Itachi and Shisui recently. He is probably tired of it and tired from training. Let's let the child out to play." Saoki stood up at this time to smooth things over, "No Han, you have to be here You can only leave after saying hello to the patriarch and Uncle Jing, otherwise it will be very rude!"

The clan leader in Sasaki's mouth is naturally Itachi and Sasuke's father, Uchiha Fugaku, and the so-called Uncle Kagami is Shisui's father, a second-generation disciple, Uchiha Kagami who inherited the will of fire, and is also Shisui's guide. . "Okay! Long live my father!" Han nodded in agreement. Zuomu lowered his head and smiled, then patted his wife on the shoulder to express comfort.

"Sooner or later, you will spoil this child rotten." Iori gave Saoki a roll of his eyes and went to pick out the dishes as if he was sulking. After all, he also wanted his child to taste the dishes he carefully prepared. Sensing Iori's unhappiness, Han and Saaki, father and son, looked at each other and hurriedly followed him to show their attentiveness.

On the other side, Naruto was worried about his yukata. This is the first time Naruto has officially celebrated the Summer Festival since he was a child. In the past, he would either watch from a distance, or simply spend it in the training ground. After all, no one wants to see a summer festival. Demon fox. But this time, for some unknown reason, Naruto had the idea of ​​letting Han accompany him to the Summer Festival for the first time.

However, although I invited Han out of curiosity, I didn't even have the yukata I needed to prepare for the summer festival. Naruto stood blankly in the corner of the street looking at the various summer festival clothes sold in the shops on the street, not knowing what he was thinking.

Finally, Naruto plucked up the courage and entered a shop with few customers. "Uncle, I want to buy a set of yukata for the summer festival, is it okay?" Naruto asked the shopkeeper with a smile. The shopkeeper took a closer look and found that After it was Naruto, his expression immediately changed: "Who let you, a demon fox, come in? Get out quickly, it will affect my store's business."

Naruto bit his lip and stood stubbornly, his eyes full of pleading. This was the first time in a long time that Naruto used pleading eyes to treat someone who said something bad to him. In the past, Naruto had no scruples, and there was always a place for him to stay. But now, Naruto has something to ask for, and has to stand here humbly. However, the owner of the clothing store did not appreciate it at all: "You stinky fox, are you deaf? Do you have to let me kick you out? Didn't you see that because of your coming, there are many fewer customers in my store?" He wanted to take out the stick from under the counter and drive Naruto away.

"Uncle, I beg you, this is really important to me, otherwise I won't be able to participate in the summer festival tomorrow. "Smelly fox, you should go to hell, why are you participating in the summer festival? Get out of here." The shopkeeper looked at the fewer and fewer customers, and became a little angry. Naruto also stood there blankly, with tears of grievance. At this moment, a villager actually spoke for Naruto for the first time,

"Hmph, you're not ashamed to bully a child?" It turns out that this person is a resident of the same building as Naruto. Since Naruto stopped making trouble and started training peacefully, he also saw Naruto's hard work every day. In his eyes, he unknowingly separated Naruto from the demon fox in his heart. Although he still couldn't fully identify with the demon fox that had harmed the village, he felt a little sorry for Naruto when he saw Naruto being laughed at and insulted every day. I happened to pass by this store today and saw Naruto being bullied. Due to some strange combination of circumstances, I actually started to fight for Naruto's injustice.

Unexpectedly, the store manager did not feel ashamed at all. Instead, he blushed and yelled with anger: "What kid? He is a demon fox. He is a scourge in the village. I don't know how many people died because of him. Am I wrong? Besides, I don’t know how much business I will lose by selling his clothes. If customers know that I sell clothes to the demon fox, who will be willing to come to my store to buy clothes?"

Listening to the store manager's cursing voice, the villager who helped Naruto was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to refute. He opened his mouth but no words came out. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Naruto suddenly turned his head and bowed respectfully to the villager who spoke for him.

"What are you doing?" The villager was a little surprised. But Naruto wiped away the tears on his face and laughed again. While smiling, he said: "Thank you for your recognition and support. This is the first time someone has spoken for me. I will never let you down. Always One day I will prove that even if I, Naruto Uzumaki, am a demon fox that everyone hates, I will become an outstanding ninja that is respected and recognized by everyone!"

Then he seemed to be angry and yelled at the crowd watching him: "You wait! Me! Uzumaki Naruto is the man who will become Hokage! I will not give up!" He lowered his head and ran away. After leaving the store, only the stunned boss and villagers were left.

"Are you satisfied? Bullying a child gives you a sense of accomplishment like this? Return to the demon fox. Even if he is a demon fox, I think he is a hundred times better than you beasts in clothes." As he said that, the villager who helped to fight for Naruto left angrily. go.

The little Naruto who left ran and came to a river. He looked at his reflection in the river and thought about the summer festival tomorrow. Everyone was wearing beautiful clothes, but he, the demon fox, was still dragging his feet. I cried out in grievance. In fact, Naruto is not as strong as everyone sees on the surface, but he shows his strong and optimistic side to others, while hiding the pain and loss in his heart.

At this moment, a burst of hurried and irregular footsteps and breathing broke the silence around him. Naruto turned around and saw the owner of the clothing store just now, holding one of the most popular items sold in the summer festival store. A yukata ran over panting. Then, with Naruto's surprised eyes, he gave Naruto a handful of clothes.

"You brat, I did something wrong just now. This dress is an apology. Although I don't know whether it fits or not, you can make do with it. But in the future, don't come to my store to bother me or affect my business. Don't even think about it. You're wearing my clothes for free, but you'll have to pay me next time you come to my store!" The boss looked a little fierce, but the words he said made Naruto feel warm.

Then the boss seemed to remember something again, and took out another fox mask from his arms and threw it to Naruto, "If you want to have a happy summer festival tomorrow, you'd better wear this, it will save you a lot of trouble. , and also saves the impact on other people’s businesses.”

After doing all this, the fat boss didn't stop and turned around to leave. Naruto seemed to have regained all his energy and shouted in the direction where the boss left: "Uncle! Don't worry! I won't I will disappoint you. I, Uzumaki Naruto, will become the best ninja in the village, and my uncle's business will get better and better!" The leaving clothing store owner seemed not to have heard Naruto's words at all, and gradually disappeared into the front. But if you look carefully, you can see that the boss has a smile on his lips, as if he is thinking about something beautiful.
