The second home.

Bang!

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Chiba turned around and took Naruto to the next house.

Under Chiba's virtue, these people admit their mistakes quickly.

There is almost no luck and people who want to say a few words to show toughness.

In life and death, following one's heart is the right choice.

The third one...

The fourth one...

When Chiba took Naruto out of the seventh house, Naruto's eyes already showed a hint of belief in Chiba.

This was something that had never happened before.

Nice change.

Chiba didn't let Naruto choose whether to forgive them.

unnecessary.

Chiba didn't want to let the child struggle with these so-called kindnesses.

In this war-torn era, good people may not live well and suffer a lot.

Or, it can be a compliment.

but.

is that useful?

Chiba would rather let him live a better life.

On the way back.

The atmosphere is still very subtle.

Naruto peeked at Chiba from time to time, and finally asked what he had been holding back:

"Who are you?"

"Your father's brother, you should call me uncle."

"uncle?"

Naruto looked confused for a moment, feeling a little unfamiliar with this title.

Chiba sighed.

"They are your relatives. Now...we are each other's only relatives."

"oh."

Naruto responded, there was something wrong with the silence.

He raised his head and looked at Qianye, and shouted awkwardly:

"uncle."

"Um."

Chiba smiled and touched Naruto's golden hair.

Chiba's appearance is somewhat similar to Namikaze Minato, but unlike Little Sun's sunshine, Chiba has an evil streak.

Make it look a bit bohemian.

Not a moment.

Under the leadership of Naruto, he came to his current home.

"Is this right here?"

"Um."

Naruto nodded.

Chiba looked.

On the second floor, there is a small house of dozens of square meters.

Even before entering, you can smell the smell of old decay.

If the door doesn't close tightly, it will open if the wind gets stronger.

inside the house.

The furniture is old and even missing.

Only a few daily necessities were available.

The only thing that is still intact and worth looking at is... the bed!

The room was empty.

Chiba frowned.

"Do you usually live by yourself?"

Naruto nodded.

"No one takes care of you?"

Shake his head.

"What about living expenses?"

Naruto dug into his pocket for a long time and finally took out a few coins.

"That's all there is left."

Chiba took a deep breath.

This month has just begun!

As if sensing Chiba's mood changes, Naruto explained awkwardly:

"I was so hungry, so I just used some."

"It's okay, kid."

Chiba touched his head again.

He sensed the child's sensitivity and tried his best not to irritate him.

Obviously.

This child does not spend money recklessly. Otherwise, the furnishings and life in the house would never be like this.

Even if you are a prodigal, you will ensure your own life.

At least, you won't go hungry.

But not his nephew.

So, there is only one answer.

Living expenses are too little.

He narrowed his eyes.

After his brother's death, Naruto was definitely entrusted to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But now...

Life is like this.

Gu Gu!

A sudden sound sounded.

Following Chiba's gaze, Naruto suddenly blushed.

He opened the cupboard and found the half-carton of milk hidden deep inside.

I took out two boxes.

He handed a box to Chiba.

"Uncle, here you go."

Chiba took it.

And smile.

"Thanks."

In order to prevent the child from being too cramped, Qianye opened the seal, but when he was about to drink it, he smelled a sour smell.

The smell was disgusting.

Chiba looked at Naruto.

But he found that he seemed to be used to it.

finally.

Chiba still stopped him.

"It's expired, Naruto."

Naruto looked up, "What is expired?"

"It's just broken."

"oh."

He responded, a little frustrated and said:

"Maybe I kept it for too long. I saved up money for a long time to buy it, and I couldn't bear to drink it."

"How long have you let it go?"

Naruto thought for a moment.

"There are eight boxes of milk in total. It was supposed to be one box a day, but I was a little reluctant and kept it for five extra days."

Chiba glanced at the expiration date.

Expired for one year.

He didn't know what to say.

Should he tell him the truth?

No, he is miserable enough.

However, the three-year-old child was targeted by the villagers.

No friends, no relatives.

Not enough to eat and not warm enough to wear.

When I go out, I will be insulted by adults and beaten by children.

Even the milk that I had saved up for a long time and finally bought was expired long ago.

He couldn't even bear to drink it.

I kept it for five more days...

call!

Chiba exhaled heavily.

The anger is hard to suppress.

But he still said calmly:

"Stop drinking. I'll take you to eat something else."

Naruto was a little reluctant to give up.

But in the end he nodded.

...

Ichiraku Ramen.

Looking at the big bowl of hot ramen in front of me.

Naruto couldn't stop swallowing.

But he still glanced at his uncle subconsciously.

"Eat it, be careful not to burn it."

He immediately started gobbling it up.

He looked like he had been hungry for an unknown amount of time.

Seeing Naruto eating, Chiba felt a little dazed.

In the past three years, he didn't know what kind of treatment the child had received.

But obviously, it's not fair.

If he doesn't come back, this kind of treatment will continue.

I don’t know how long.

He knew Naruto's future.

Seventh Hokage.

But, how much hardship does he have to put in to achieve this?

Finished eating ramen.

Naruto patted his belly, very satisfied.

Chiba looked at him:

"Let's go back."

"good."

On the way.

Naruto looked at Chiba's back for a long time, and finally spoke when he arrived home:

"Uncle, will you still leave?"

Chiba turned around and touched his head again.

"Not anymore."

Naruto's eyes showed joy.

"In that case, you don't have to go to bed so early tonight."

"Why?"

Chiba asked confused.

Naruto suddenly looked shocked.

But it was explained anyway.

"If I go to bed early, I can meet many friends in my dreams. Although I don't know them and can't see their faces clearly, they will stay with me, but they only come once."

"Do you miss your parents?"

Chiba asked.

"Um."

"Hate them?"

Naruto shook his head.

"Actually, they occasionally come to accompany me. Although I don't know what they look like or what kind of people they are, I have seen them in my dreams."

"I don't hate them. If I did, the parents in the dream would also leave."

Chiba was stunned.

Look at this nephew who is speaking his mind.

Reach out and hug him.

"Uncle will accompany you from now on."

"Um..."

Soon after, Naruto couldn't hold it any longer and fell asleep.

But he held on to Qianye's clothes.

Refuses to let go.

Even if there was some slight noise, he would wake up immediately and then rush to find Qianye.

He doesn't feel safe.

Chiba didn't move and stayed in the same position for a long time. It wasn't until he fell asleep completely that he took off his shirt.

He was covered with a quilt.

Walked out of the room lifelessly.

There was a man wearing a mask sitting on a tree not far from the house.

Anbu.

Chiba arrived quickly.

"Come out."

sieve!

The leaves trembled and figures came down.

"Chi...Chiba-sama..."

"There is no need to come here again. My nephew does not need to be monitored."

"But...this is an order from Lord Third Generation, who is Nine Tails..."

Chiba's eyes turned cold:

"I don't want to repeat myself again."

"You should know his identity and what happened to him. Don't let me do anything."

"Anbu's life can't calm my anger."

Chiba was too lazy to say anything more and turned away.

And Anbu, after hesitating for a long time, chose to obey.

Because he knew that this person really wouldn't care so much.

Chiba returned to the room.

Then he froze.

Because the shirt he took off earlier was neatly folded and placed beside him.

Naruto occupied one side of the small bed, leaving most of the space empty.

He made sure he left in silence.

But Naruto still woke up.

No crying, no fuss.

Just folded clothes.

This way, if you want to leave, you can do it faster.

And he just regarded this as a dream.

An uncle who only comes once, in a dream.

Chiba stared at him.

Naruto's breathing was uneven.

Clearly awake.

After a while, Naruto couldn't help but said:

"Uncle, I fell asleep."

"Well, go to sleep."

"good."

He fell asleep obediently and did not wake up in the middle of the night.

Chiba didn't go to bed, but just watched from the side.

The bed is too small for two people to rest.

Naruto woke up very early the next day.

Look around.

He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Chiba.

"Good morning, uncle!"

"morning."

outside the house.

Chiba wiped the sweat from his forehead, stopped waving the long sword, and turned around.

"Uncle, are you a ninja?"

He looked at it for a long time, raised his head and asked.

"yes."

"Then my parents too?"

"Um."

"Are they powerful? What do they look like? Also, do they like children? Have you seen me... Do they also use swords? Did they live here before?"

There are many questions.

Naruto talked for a long time, many of them were common sense and even repeated questions.

This is enough to annoy anyone.

But Chiba listened to him patiently.

"It's awesome."

"Your father is very handsome and your mother is very beautiful. They like children very much. They have met you and they like you very much."

"Your father can use a sword. He is a very powerful ninja and knows many ninjutsu."

"Your mother... is very gentle, with long red hair. She is also a ninja, but not as powerful as your father."

"They didn't live here before, they lived somewhere else."

Chiba also talked for a long time.

Answered Naruto's question.

What he said was a bit messy, but Naruto listened carefully and carefully.

There was yearning on his face.

Finally, he smiled brightly:

"I have the best dad and mom in the world."

"yes."

"They love you very much."

Even beyond loving yourself.
