Naruto's Life

Naruto Uzumaki has been having a really bad time lately. He thought he'd make a name for himself and impress everyone when he first entered the Ninja Academy, but from his very first day, he discovered a horrifying truth—he seems to be a complete idiot...

"Why... why..."

"Others can learn Chakra refining techniques in no time, but I just can't seem to refine them..."

"Why... why..."

"Theoretical lectures that others can easily understand make me want to sleep..."

He hurriedly grabbed the expired bread and milk and stuffed them into his mouth, running towards the school while putting on his coat. Naruto Uzumaki pace.

"Who is it! You bumped into my stall, you'll regret it..."

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

"Ah, it's you, you monster! What bad luck! Get the hell out of here..." Naruto ran, brushing past a street stall. Hearing the shop owner's voice, Naruto Uzumaki was about to turn back and apologize, but the shop owner's words immediately silenced him...

"It's that monster, stay away from him..."

"Don't play with him, who knows what he might do to you..."

As the people around him turned to look, the whispers and cold, indifferent gazes made Naruto Uzumaki lower his head, a sudden pang of sadness welling up in his eyes...

"Ah, I've been through this many times before, I'm used to it by now..."

No one heard Naruto Uzumaki's low murmur; he simply lowered his head and slowly walked out of the crowd. "Ah, I'm going to be late, damn it!"

His thoughts were instantly banished, Naruto started running again, but this time he was much more careful...

"Is that Asura Ōtsutsuki's soul power...?" Not far from the crowd, Kato Osamu and his two companions, disguised as ordinary civilians, quietly followed behind Naruto Uzumaki. Seeing the villagers insulting Naruto, Kushina Uzumaki's long red hair fluttered in the wind as she shouted at the villagers, "Die! Foolish words..."

However, it seems that everyone is ignoring the existence of the three of them...

"I can sense that there are indeed some special parts within Naruto Uzumaki's soul..."

The three followed Naruto Uzumaki, watching him run to the entrance of the Ninja Academy, only to be told it was a rest day. Kushina Uzumaki couldn't hold back any longer, "That damn Third Hokage, couldn't he at least inform the students about the holiday?! Naruto had to run all this way..."

"Let's see..." Ignoring Kushina Uzumaki's roar, Kato Osamu other two continued to follow Naruto Uzumaki.

He sat idly on the bench, watching several children his age playing in the distance. He didn't go over, but just stared at them blankly, his eyes filled with envy.

"Get out of the way! This swing is ours!" If you don't go looking for trouble, trouble will come looking for you. Before Naruto Uzumaki could even speak to them, the children surrounded him, looking at Naruto with hostility.

"Oh, I'll let you have the swing... Then... can you play with me?" Naruto looked at the child in the lead with hopeful anticipation.

"Get away from me, you monster! We're not playing with you!" The leader of the kids looked at Naruto with disdain, but Naruto wouldn't leave the swing, he reached out and started shoving Naruto.

"I was here first!"

"Hit him! Throw stones at him! This monster!" Forcibly suppressing Kushina Uzumaki's rampage, and watching Naruto Uzumaki was surrounded and beaten by a group of children, even getting bruised and battered by small stones before fleeing in a sorry state, Kato Osamu didn't reveal himself. He sensed several Anbu members nearby, who also chose not to intervene...

Besides, there's also Minato Namikaze's beloved student, Kakashi Hatake...

"Where's Hiruzen Sarutobi? What's he doing? Where's Kakashi Hatake? Are they all there?" Seeing that Kushina Uzumaki had calmed down, Mei Terumi released her hand from Kushina's.

"Who knows..."

The three didn't stop, and neither did Naruto Uzumaki face was bruised and swollen. His eyes were filled with tears, but not a single tear fell. Naruto endured the pain, moved away from the crowd, and limped into the forest. When he saw a patch of green grass, he quietly lay down on the grass and silently looked up at the sky.

It seemed that only by getting away from crowds could he feel a moment of peace...

"Naruto, as Jinchuriki, doesn't seem to be doing very well in Konoha ..." Mei Terumi thought of Karatachi Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki of the Land of Water Mizukage. Although Kirigakure did not give Karatachi Yagura special treatment, they did not humiliate him like this. In fact, Karatachi Yagura was able to become the Fourth Mizukage to some extent because of his status as Jinchuriki.

"It's strange... it's really strange..." Kato Osamu also somewhat confused. Why would Konoha treat its Jinchuriki this way? Weren't they afraid that the Jinchuriki would harbor resentment towards Konoha from then on? Or was there some other situation he didn't know about?

"Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others shouldn't know about Asura Ōtsutsuki's existence... So why are they so brazenly humiliating the Jinchuriki?" Kato Osamu considered a possibility...

In a past life, there was a widely circulated condition called Stockholm syndrome. This psychological disorder is roughly described as follows: a victim who has been persecuted by a criminal for a long time may develop a morbid liking for the criminal due to occasional acts of kindness. However, have the Shinobi World already understood this phenomenon, and even become adept at using it on Jinchuriki?

As they spoke, Naruto seemed to have been fully revived, leaping up from the ground once more. The confusion in his eyes had lessened somewhat, and he touched his stomach, his face contorted in pain...

"Oh no... my stomach hurts so much..." Perhaps due to frequently eating expired food and lacking proper nutrition, even with the Uzumaki Clan's abnormal physique, Naruto appeared somewhat thin and short...

"What happened to Naruto? Is he alright...? No, there's no one here, I have to go check on him!" Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but worry when she saw Naruto's condition, but Mei Terumi restricted her movements, so she could only watch him anxiously.

"As far as I know, Naruto Uzumaki often seems to go hungry, not only because there isn't enough relief money, but also because most of the villagers in Konoha are unwilling to sell him food..."

"Is that so..." Kushina Uzumaki probably understood Naruto's situation in Konoha, and contrary to her usual behavior, she did not show strong emotions and appeared somewhat silent.

"Then, the property and other items that Minato Namikaze and I left for Naruto should all have been confiscated by the village..." Kushina Uzumaki was never a stupid person, just a bit rough and reckless. Once she calmed down, how could she have imagined what kind of existence Naruto really was in Konoha?

Naruto has become the outlet for the Konoha's emotions... They've transferred all their resentment towards Nine-Tails onto Naruto...

Minato Namikaze's dream of becoming the 'hero who saves Konoha's never came true, and even living a normal life as the Fourth Hokage's son became a pipe dream...

"I wonder if Minato Namikaze would still be that hot-blooded youth shouting 'For the village!' if he knew the current situation..." Kato Osamu glanced at Kushina Uzumaki with a mocking look, Kushina Uzumaki remained silent.

The three continued to follow Naruto Uzumaki, and a day quietly passed. Naruto watched Kushina Uzumaki's every move, and she became increasingly silent, a deep sorrow filling her heart.

She saw Naruto with no money for food, only able to watch others feast with envy; she saw Naruto skillfully catching two fish by the river with all his might for lunch; she saw everyone isolating Naruto, leaving Naruto alone sitting blankly in a corner.

As dusk fell, the setting sun was as red as blood, like Kushina Uzumaki's heart being torn apart. She stood quietly in the sunset, looking at Naruto Uzumaki not far away.

Naruto was completely unaware of all this, simply sitting blankly on the swing, gently swaying, watching the children not far away being led by their parents by the hand, his eyes filled with a mixture of envy and loneliness, his small figure disappearing into the gradually darkening shadows, seemingly shrouded in solitude.

Kushina Uzumaki could no longer hold back her emotions, and large tears streamed down her face. Her child was her most precious treasure, so why was he now being discarded like trash, treated with utter disrespect and abuse...?

Kushina Uzumaki, crouching on the ground, was crying so sorrowfully that it moved everyone who heard it. Even Kato Osamu could feel the grief in Kushina Uzumaki's heart as a mother...

Mei Terumi glanced at Kato Osamu, then suddenly thought of herself, putting herself in Kushina Uzumaki's shoes, and unconsciously clenched her fingers slightly...

"Osamu-kun... help me..." Kushina Uzumaki looked at Kato Osamu through teary eyes. Now, she could perhaps understand a little of the despair of being trapped in a predicament with no one to help her...
