My Name is Minato Namikaze

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient, Naruto-kun."

There was still a faint smile on Bai's face, and he looked at Naruto in front of him calmly and softly.

"Naruto-kun is a ninja from Konoha Village. Did you come to the Land of Waves to perform a mission?"

"Yes, this is the first time I've been so far from the village!"

Naruto also chose a more comfortable position, sat down cross-legged, nodded lightly, and replied.

"Leaving the village for the first time?"

There was a faint look of reminiscence flashing in Bai's pupils, and he quickly disappeared.

"Naruto-kun should be in his early ten years, right? He became a ninja at such a young age. Why? Ninja is a very dangerous profession, right?"

Bai put his hands lightly on his knees, turned his head slightly, and asked softly.

"I'm 12 years old, Sister Bai, it's not too young to be a ninja at this age! As for the reason for wanting to become a ninja, of course, it's because there are dreams that you want to realize and people you want to protect! So, I will choose to be a ninja, and I will definitely become a great ninja!"

For the white question.

Naruto did not hesitate in the slightest, nor did he cheat in the slightest.

It just came out so directly.

I want to change the world, I want to protect the people I love.

Naruto is not a saint, nor is he a paranoid lunatic who has completely fallen into the darkness. Naruto lacks all the emotions and six desires that human beings should have.

Just like the slaying target who wants revenge.

Just like what you cherish, the object you want to protect.

The two do not conflict.

This was Naruto's answer from the bottom of his heart.

"Anyone you want to protect and a dream you want to achieve?"

Listen to Naruto's answer.

Bai murmured in a low voice, the look in the line of sight that was looking in the direction of Naruto became softer, perhaps at this moment, in Bai's view, Naruto and himself were the same.

Even hostile positions.

But it has the same essence.

"Naruto-kun is a very powerful person."

Bai looked at Naruto, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said so in an unprecedented serious tone.

"Sister Bai has won the prize."

"No, there are firm goals, and the courage and determination to achieve them, Naruto-kun, I believe you can become a great ninja, and then realize your dreams and protect the people you want to protect!"

Bai shook his head gently, and there seemed to be a ray of brilliance in his pupils, and the words spoken softly seemed to reveal a certain feeling of trust.

Apparently it's just the first time.

Obviously they both know that the other side is their enemy.

But it is an inexplicable kind of goodwill, a kind of recognition.

This is a special connection or tacit understanding between Naruto and Shiro.

"Does Sister Bai also have someone to protect and her own dreams?"

He seemed to sense that Shiro wanted to leave.

A complex look flashed in Naruto's pupils, his body leaned forward slightly, and said with an inexplicable meaning.

And such a question.

It also made Bai stunned for a moment, and then he showed a softer and more refreshing smile than any moment before, and nodded lightly.

"Yes, I also have people I want to protect, even if it costs everything."

"Are you giving everything?"

"Yes!"

Eyes staring at each other.

The firmness that can be seen in all this.

In an instant, he fell into a silent atmosphere.

Like a second.

It seems like a long time.

"Then, it's almost time, I should go back, Naruto-kun."

Bai Xiankian stood up, picked up the vegetable basket beside him, and finally took a deep look at Naruto, then turned and left without any hesitation.

Looking at Shiro who was leaving, Naruto's pupils flickered with a hint of hesitation, and the hand that he wanted to raise was put down immediately.

"By the way, Naruto-kun, I am a man, so I should be called Brother Bai! Then, see you next time!"

The girl, no, it should be said that the light laughter of the young man sounded, which completely came from the joyful emotions in the depths of the heart, and did not seem to have any heavy meaning. Bai's figure completely disappeared in front of his eyes.

Naruto also stood up, shook his head gently, took a deep breath, and there was a faint cold look on his face.

"See you next time? Next time is the enemy, Shiro!"

The murderous intent revealed in those words was so real and awe-inspiring.

Naruto sympathized with Bai, had a certain favorable impression of Bai, and even had the urge to save Bai at that moment, but this urge was only cut off by Naruto himself at that moment, he knew very well Based on your own position and situation, the current self is not qualified to give alms to others. You can sympathize with others on a spiritual level, but never think of sympathizing with others on the battlefield, because that is the most stupid behavior.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

Double standard?

Contradiction?

Do not!

This is just common sense.

For Bai, the world is wrong.

But Bai neither has the courage to change the world, nor the determination to integrate into this world.

Forward or backward?

Bai chose to stop in place.

This is also Bai's greatest sorrow.

Naruto does not intend to intervene too much.

Because, for this young man.

die.

Maybe it's a real relief in a sense.

One last glance at the direction in which Bai left.

Naruto shook his head lightly, then immediately, clasping his hands behind his head, and dispelling those unnecessary and somewhat nonsensical thoughts in his mind, he paced back in the direction of Dazna, although he said he still had to Continue to practice, but after all, I have to go back to replenish the necessary energy. The 'military supplies' I brought yesterday is not enough to fill the gap between my teeth. Now Naruto is already hungry, so I should go back early and pay tribute to my five internal organs. .

"Naruto!? Why didn't you come back all night!?"

Naruto who just returned to the door of Dazner's house.

It also happened to meet Sakura and Hinata who were about to go out.

In Naruto's ears, there was Sakura's greeting like a lion's roar.

Yesterday, the second stage of chakra control practice - the two people who tread water have already found the trick initially, because treading water requires a stronger sense of balance, and it is impossible for them to completely control it in one day like climbing a tree. Rao is like this, they are the two who have roughly found the trick, and they can complete the training today, at most tomorrow.

So, I plan to go out to train early this morning.

And this is ready to go out.

I ran into Naruto who just came back.

Sakura is the direct incarnation of Hedong Lion.

Although it was said that in the previous mission, Sakura still had a grudge against Naruto and Sasuke.

But also said.

Naruto in this life has never teased Sakura.

Sakura didn't even have the slightest ill will towards Naruto, and even had a natural affection for a mild-mannered top student like Naruto.

Even more so for Sasuke.
