This man had long black hair, a Ornn beard, and was wearing black short-sleeves, with white bandages wrapped around his forearms, and a white triangle scarf with the circular heraldry of "Fire" in red on a black background tied around his waist.
It was Asuma Sarutobi who had traveled all the way back and finally arrived at the outskirts of Konoha before sunset.
He just looked left and right, then immediately cast a seal, trying to open the outer barrier and enter Konoha.
However, after trying it a few times, Asuma Sarutobi's face turned dark when he noticed that there was no response from the barrier.
As he expected, the fingerprints used to open the barrier were no longer effective.
How to enter the village?
Go through the door?
He just took a look from a distance and saw that the gatekeepers remained the same, still his old classmates Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane.
But he was not sure whether these two old classmates would expose him.
His original intention was to sneak in and attack Uchiha Fugaku. As the saying goes, catch the thief first and catch the king first.
But if someone discovers you before you even enter the village, then there's no point in making a sneak attack.
Asuma Sarutobi drew his sword and looked around at a loss. He suddenly realized that he had nothing to do.
Entering through the gate is risky.
He can forcefully break through the barrier. He is a rare wind attribute Chakra ninja, and he also owns a pair of Chakra Blade. He can use the sharpness of his wind attribute Chakra to the extreme, breaking through the outer barrier in front of him with ease.
But there is no guarantee that it will not be discovered by the Yamanaka Clan who monitors the barrier.
Asuma Sarutobi Suddenly felt that there was nothing to do and was in a dilemma.
On the other side, Takuya's family went out.
Takuya was dressed in ordinary home attire. Next to him, Uchiha Mikoto was wearing a white kimono, with sideburns on her head and a graceful figure.
Behind him was a dejected Naruto, and Sasuke was half a step behind him.
The family walked out of Uchiha Compound and came to the lively and prosperous street.
This is the most prosperous area of Konoha. Even at night, the lights are still bright, people come and go, and there are constant shouts.
Mikoto looked back at Naruto worriedly, quietly pulled Sasuke over and said, "Sasuke, keep an eye on Naruto."
Sasuke didn't make any fuss at this time and nodded his head gently to show his understanding.
The group of people walked around and walked into a restaurant that had a lot of traffic and seemed to be very popular.
Because it was the first time to eat out after time travel, Takuya took it very seriously and ordered a lot of signature dishes.
Seeing that Takuya wanted to order more, Mikoto quickly stopped him. "That's enough, that's enough. Let's eat it first. Husband, it will be too much to waste later."
Takuya also listened to the advice and signaled the waiter on the side to get ready.
The waiter left politely.
They didn't have to wait long, and the first dish came quickly.
Immediately afterwards, the subsequent dishes were served one after another.
"Well, it tastes very good."
Mikoto tasted the dish in front of him and said with bright eyes.
Takuya also picked up a chopstick and said deliberately, "It's not that good, it's not as delicious as my wife's cooking."
Mikoto rolled her eyes at him, but the smile on her lips showed that she was in a good mood.
Takuya ate the food happily and glanced at Naruto. He found that he was still a little absent-minded in the face of so many delicacies. He had an idea and used the excuse of going to the toilet. In fact, he performed a Shadow Clone and told him to go to Ichiraku Ramen to pack a portion.
Watching Shadow Clone walk out in a hurry, Takuya Shi Shiran came back and continued eating.
"Hey, that's too much. Try this. It's delicious."
Sasuke was sitting opposite Naruto. He took a rare dish and put it into Naruto's bowl.
However, Naruto didn't appreciate it. He turned over the rice with his chopsticks, buried the vegetables that Sasuke picked up, and let out a long sigh.
Sasuke There are two black lines on his forehead. This guy, it's rare that I give you a chopstick and you still don't eat it.
The words of complaint were on his lips, but thinking that Naruto was in a special situation today, he swallowed the words back and ate in silence.
A trace of worry flashed in Mikoto's eyes, and he looked to Takuya for help.
Takuya winked at Mikoto, signaling her to eat.
Mikoto was confused, had her husband thought of some solution, or was he planning to do nothing?
She sighed, smiled, and put a lot of vegetables into the bowl for Naruto.
"Naruto, these are very delicious dishes. Come on, try them."
Mikoto said with a smile.
In the past, when eating at home, Naruto had a very good appetite and ate all the food at home, unlike Sasuke, who was sometimes picky about food and would leave leftovers.
After Naruto came home, the leftovers disappeared.
It's rare for Naruto to have such a loss of appetite when it comes to delicious food, which really worries her.
She couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in her heart. Why did she cooperate with her husband in lying to Naruto?
Most people in the village know about the sacrifice of Fourth Hokage and his wife. If you think about it, you can tell that Naruto cannot be kept secret for long.
Sooner or later he would learn about it from someone else.
Alas.
Seeing Naruto lifeless, Mikoto sighed helplessly.
The bitter pill of the day must be swallowed eventually.
Naruto was also very confused at this time.
On the one hand, the uncle and aunt who were the best to me deceived me.
Yes, that's right, during this period of time, the importance of uncle and aunt in his heart has exceeded that of Grandpa Hokage, and they have been promoted to the first and best to him.
He had heard from Shikaku that when his uncle and aunt lied to him, it must have been a so-called white lie.
But I don't know why, I just feel uncomfortable. It turns out that my parents are dead...
He also knew that the demon fox that killed his parents was sealed in his body.
Although he didn't quite understand what a seal was, what he couldn't understand was why the demon fox that killed his parents was sealed into his body?
Sealed into my body, how can I avenge my parents?
It turns out that Naruto only learned a partial truth from others. He only knew that Hokage and his wife died at the hands of a demon fox, and did not know what happened next. He did not know that Nine-Tails was sealed into his body by his father Minato himself, and he did not know Minato's good intentions.
Naruto is not really stupid, he can feel the care, love and kindness of his aunt towards him better than anyone else.
He also wanted to be happy and eat with a smile, but he couldn't control his body, couldn't laugh, and had no appetite.
Gululu.
There was a gurgling sound in his stomach, and Naruto could realize that he was very hungry. He looked at the beautifully colored food in the bowl, but still had no appetite.
At this moment, a bowl of steaming hot ramen suddenly appeared in front of him.
Naruto looked at this bowl of ramen in bewilderment. Five pieces of soft barbecued pork were arranged in a half circle, covered with dried bamboo shoots, fungus, Naruto rolls, and seaweed. It was garnished with half a hot spring egg that had a sugary heart when cut open! There was also a handful of chopped green onions sprinkled on top!
It's my favorite Tonkotsu Chashu Ramen!
