Naruto, you are a born devil!

"Yes~, father..."

Hinata immediately got up and respectfully left the training room.

......

"Hinata-sama... why are you distracted?"

Under the eaves of the dojo.

The maid of the branch family, Hyuga Natsu, who was applying medicine on Hinata's cheek, expressed her doubts.

Hinata, who was asked this question, couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

"Axia, why do people treat Naruto-kun like that~?"

Hinata's eyes flashed with yesterday's memory.

Faced with this question, Hyuga Natsu's right hand holding the cotton swab stopped moving.

After a while, she put away the medicinal wine.

"In short...Hinata-sama, please don't contact that kid named Uzumaki Naruto..."

A few minutes later.

After resting, Hinata entered the dojo again to practice.

Hyuga Natsu took out the purchase order and set off to the commercial street according to today's schedule.

Early in the morning, she noticed the fire scene surrounded by a crowd.

As a member of a wealthy family like the Hyuga clan, especially a personal maid of the main family, she learned about the arson and murder case late last night.

But when she saw the scene burned to ashes, she was still a little surprised.

The scene has been completely blocked.

Only a piece of ruins burned by the flames foreshadowed the changes here.

"Huh?!"

After standing there for a while, Hyuga Xia noticed the prying eyes from the side.

"It's that demon fox boy!"

I saw Naruto standing across the street, a distance away from the mask shop.

The surrounding villagers avoided Naruto as if he were avoiding the plague.

Unlike the disgusted attitude of yesterday's onlookers, today's faces of the villagers were filled with fear of Naruto.

No one whispered anymore, and dared to say bad things about Naruto.

The maid of the Hyuga family suddenly understood.

The villagers may think that the destruction of the mask shop is inextricably linked to "the demon fox boy Uzumaki Naruto".

Whether it was a curse, a disaster, or other superstitious statements.

Or there were other explanations.

In short, they must have regarded this kid as a disaster.

"..."

Naruto, who was standing across the street, scratched his head.

This action scared the surrounding villagers away quickly.

The large open space that was already vacant became even emptier, and only Naruto was enjoying the entire wide road.

However, as far as she knew.

The truth was that no one at the top suspected Uzumaki Naruto.

The ninjas of the Uchiha Police Department did not.

The Anbu did not.

The Konoha high-level officials did not either.

This puzzled Hyuga Natsu, who did not know the whole picture.

"Uzumaki Naruto is obviously a demon fox, why do the people above think he is not the murderer?"

Although because of the information gap.

Hyuga Natsu did not know that Naruto was the descendant of the Fourth Hokage.

But she hit the mark by accident and saw through the essence of the matter.

The murderer... is indeed Naruto.

Hinata Xia turned and left. Before she left, she saw... Naruto's eyes staring at her.

Those blue eyes did not make the maid of the branch family think of beauty or purity.

She just felt that the eyes of this brat were very disgusting.

Naruto, who was standing in place, followed Hinata Xia's gaze.

When the pretty maid of the Hyuga family left, Naruto followed her.

Soon.

Hinata Xia, who was shopping for daily necessities, felt something was wrong.

She was in the same class as the famous Hatake Kakashi, so naturally they were only one year apart in age.

In this era, it was totally okay to call her a girl.

Naruto followed slowly, always keeping a distance from her.

Wherever the pretty maid with white eyes went, Naruto followed.

This behavior, like a ghost behind her back and like... a traitor, finally made the other party angry.

Just when Hinata Xia was about to speak.

Naruto suddenly looked to the side.

Then, Naruto took a step and left quickly.

"Inexplicable..."

The maid of the branch family frowned and her pretty face became even colder. Her originally low good impression of Naruto instantly turned into a lower negative value...

But she didn't know that because of someone's sudden interruption, she temporarily escaped...

......

"Sister of the Anbu~, we meet again."

In the dark alley, Naruto saw the Anbu girl who greeted him... Uzuki Yugao.

Why did Uzuki Yugao suddenly appear at this moment?

"Uzumaki Naruto."

Wearing the Anbu uniform and a brand new cat-patterned mask, Yugao tried to make her voice colder.

But as an insider, she knew that the child in front of her was the son of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, and she truly exposed her true attitude towards Naruto.

That was the care and concern for the son of a hero.

"You know what happened in the mask shop."

Good news doesn't go out, but bad news spreads a thousand miles.

In just one morning, the whole Konoha probably knew about what happened here.

After all, Konoha had been peaceful for several years, and suddenly something like this happened, and the consequences can be imagined.

Early in the morning, Xi Yan received a special assignment from the Third Hokage.

Ask her to take more care of Naruto.

'In other words, Hokage-sama is worried that the murder of the mask shop owner may be a way for the enemy to invade the east...'

In order to guard against the possibility of the jinchūriki being targeted by the enemy.

Xi Yan will pay more attention to Naruto's whereabouts these days.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded.

"Then...go home quickly, don't run around..."

The safest thing is, of course, to stay at home and not go out.

Xi Yan advised Naruto not to run out.

"But, it's boring at home."

Naruto scratched his head.

"It's no fun to be alone at home..."

Emphasizing this matter a second time, Naruto looked into the distance.

The Hyuga family's maid has gone away, so...

You have to shoulder the responsibility of helping me reduce the swelling.

Xiyan, who didn't know she was being targeted, hesitated for a moment and then agreed to play with Naruto.

"What play...is practice."

Naruto said that he wanted to practice.

"Besides, my dream is to become Hokage~! I want everyone to recognize me~!"

Seeing Naruto's bold speech, Xiyan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth under the mask.

The son of the fourth generation Hokage, of course, has a high chance of becoming Hokage.

Maoyue Xiyan believes in bloodline theory.

After all, her childhood sweetheart, Moonlight Hayate, was the owner of the bloodline.

So, Xiyan quickly followed Naruto back to his home.

"It's still warm in the house..."

Xi Yan, who exposed her fair shoulders, couldn't help but touch her arm.

When performing tasks in the cold winter, you do have to suffer from the wind and cold.

Naruto closed the door, came to the living room, and turned on the TV.

Nutritious TV programs are being played on the TV.

Seeing Naruto holding the remote control being attracted to the TV program, Xiyan couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough... he is still a child..."

Immediately, she looked at the refrigerator aside, ready to solve the doubts that had been in her heart these days.

I quietly opened the refrigerator, and what I saw was a bucket full of milk.

"Sure enough...it's milk..."

Xi Yan's breath hitched slightly.

The ANBU ninja's excellent insight allowed her to immediately notice something strange about the milk.

Reaching out and taking out the innermost bottle, Xi Yan was stunned.

"Expired..."

In other words, it is most likely that Naruto felt uncomfortable [hot and dry] because he drank expired milk last time.

Without thinking much, Xiyan immediately closed the refrigerator and pretended that nothing happened.

However, her standing silhouette...that sideways figure that contained a youthful atmosphere was completely taken into Naruto's eyes.

Looking at Xiyan's complete ANBU uniform, her shoulders and upper arms were exposed like mutton-fat jade.
