Time is like water, about three years have passed since the night of Nine-Tails Incident.
Although the hatred was buried, the pain and sorrow left to everyone still emerged involuntarily during the memorial ceremony.
Because of this, the incompetent's anger, indulgence, indifference, and disregard make children who are already sensitive to emotions even more confused and confused.
"Look, that child is that one. I really don't understand why Lord Third Hokage wants to leave this scourge in the village."
"Hey, that guy, hurry up and get the salt. That guy is here, hurry up and spread the salt to ward off evil spirits!"
"Damn you, why are you so close here? Get out of here, don't come over, it's bad luck..."
A young figure, even just walking on the roadside, will attract criticism and expulsion from everyone.
The unreserved disgust and malice in the eyes of every adult made the already sensitive and fragile child run away desperately.
The sky is as blue as a wash, and those eyes of disgust and hatred have become familiar and even accustomed to them unconsciously.
The vicious words fell on deaf ears, but deep down in my heart, I was still a little sad.
It is now noon, the time of day when the breeze is the coolest.
Little Naruto walked across the street and stood alone on Hokage Rock. The breeze blew, loneliness and loneliness filled that young heart with peace of mind and helplessness.
'What, who is that? My name is Uzumaki Naruto, why are you looking at me like a monster, I'm not a monster, I'm a human! Bastard!'
He angrily threw the stones in his hands down, regardless of whether they would hit pedestrians. Anyway, when they saw him, everyone ran away as if they were avoiding monsters.
Lying on the rock, looking at the white clouds that change from time to time, rolling and relaxing, my eyes are full of curiosity.
Do you have a family? What do your father and mother look like? Where are they now and will they come back?
The wind howled, and flocks of swallows flashed past in the distance. The already depressed mood became even more depressed.
'Even birds have friends, but where are my friends? Why did I come here? What am I living for? My life...'
Unknowingly, little Naruto closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, Eight Trigrams Seal, hidden in the abdomen, quietly revealed its existence, complementing the distant edge area in Konoha.
The sound of dripping water reached my ears, and in the distance, the faint roar of wild beasts could be heard.
When little Naruto opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a corridor made of wet stones, with water from an unknown source flowing slowly around him.
"Where is this? Hello!"
Shouting loudly, only his own echo echoed. Little Naruto couldn't help but be curious, and quickly passed through the forking roads and came to the end of the corridor.
The brilliance flickered, and little Naruto blinked his eyes hard. The mysterious scene in front of him suddenly shocked his face.
"This... what is this place? A forest?"
Inside the huge space, green vines snake and crawl, embellishing the huge iron cage among the vines into a vibrant and magnificent scenery.
Inside the cage, a red fox about a hundred meters tall was staring at the figure sitting on the forest throne with his eyes wide open.
The figure was dressed in black, and the nine pure white Tomoe behind it were extremely eye-catching. The strong wind stirred up by the big fox made a sound like a flag.
I saw that the figure stretched out his hand and waved to him, beckoning him to come over.
"Eh? Is it me? I can really..."
At this time, little Naruto felt that he was in heaven!
He has not been driven away or disliked by anyone. The handsome-looking guy is waving to him.
"Long time no see, no, in your opinion, this should be the first time we meet, Naruto."
The short shout made little Naruto a little confused and asked timidly.
"Don't you hate me?"
"Why do I hate you?"
Until then, little Naruto, who walked closer, felt keenly that the mysterious, handsome and cold-looking man in front of him really didn't dislike him.
"But, everyone else..."
"Time is of the essence. Please choose the question you are most concerned about to ask. That old man really refuses to relax for a moment."
Holding his face with his hands, Three-Eyed Demon Fox's mask was filled with purple light flashing. Looking down, his eyes were full of innocent eyes filled with expectation. Hua Yue remained silent.
Also, all the time, the people he met had hatred and malice towards him, and even the nanny who usually took care of him didn't necessarily have a good look towards him.
In such an environment, if you meet a being with a mysterious origin and no disgust for yourself, you will inevitably develop a dependence similar to longing.
Since Naruto can remember, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has been taking care of her in the dark, is also silently observing Naruto's attitude towards the village.
As the head of a village, such a choice is understandable. It is precisely because of this that the recent "gagging order" in the village that strictly prohibits talking about Nine-Tails Fox has forced Konoha residents to use "that" instead.
"What about other people? What does it have to do with me? It's just the anger of a group of cowardly and incompetent people. My first impression of you is not that I like you, but I don't dislike you either. You are Uzumaki Naruto, that's all."
Tears were streaming down her cheeks, and little Naruto burst into tears.
For the first time, it was the first time someone called my name, not 'that', not with the look of a monster, but with the tone of a normal person, talking to me.
"Woooooo... yes, I am Uzumaki Naruto, brother, can you tell me your name?"
"Hua Yue, don't cry. You didn't do anything wrong. By the way, how about I introduce you to a new friend?"
His eyes flickered, and under the mask, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The son of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the son of destiny, and the son of Hokage, it would be a bit cruel to add these three identities to the same child.
He spent his whole life for the so-called destiny, but in the end nothing changed. Whether it was the promise to his senior brother or the peace he worked hard to maintain, it was just a dream.
'Instead of becoming a waste under the ninja system, you should let me lead you on the road to real change.'
Thinking of this, Hua Yue slowly stood up. He was clearly being looked down upon by the giant fox in front of him, but at this moment it seemed as if he was the god who dominated everything.
"Really? I can really have friends, where is he?"
At this time, Hua Yue raised his right hand high and pointed forward. Little Naruto followed his finger and looked inside the huge cage. The fox was flashing dangerous eyes, and the nine tails behind it were swaying slightly.
"Hey! Brother Hua Yue, is it this fox who wants to be friends with me?"
